Bible Reading Plan – Day 52

₁“Nantsi imimiselo nemigaqo ekofuneka niyithobele ngalo lonke ixesha lokudla kwenu ubomi kwelo lizwe niliphiwa *nguNdikhoyo uThixo wooyihlo-mkhulu. ₂Ze nizitshabalalise ziphele tu ezo ndawo zinqulela kuzo *oothixo bazo ezaa zizwe zalaa mhlaba niya kuwohlutha; nditsho ezisezintabeni eziphakamileyo, nezisezindulini, neziphantsi kwemithi eyokozelayo. ₃Amaqonga azo ze niwadilize; ke zona iintsika zazo zamatye ze niziqhekeze zibe ziingceba. Imifanekiso yazo eqingqiweyo ka-Ashera isithixokazi sazo ze niyitshise; ngokunjalo neminye imifanekiso yazo eqingqiweyo ze niyinqunqe niyitshabalalise, acinywe amagama azo kwezo ndawo.

₄“Nina ke uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu ze ningamkhonzi ngale ndlela zinqula ngayo ezo zizwe. ₅Kumhlaba wenu uphela uNdikhoyo uya kukhetha indawo ibe nye qha apho liya kuzinza khona igama lakhe, ahlale khona, zize zithi ke zonke izindlu zenu zibuzise kuye khona. ₆Apho ke niya kuwenzela khona amadini enu atshiswayo ndawonye nawaphi na amadini angamanye, nezishumi, iminikelo, nezipho enibhambathisa ngazo, ngokunjalo namazibulo eenkomo naweegusha. ₇Apha phambi koNdikhoyo uThixo wenu onithamsanqelisayo nina neentsapho zenu niya kuxhamla ubuncwane bezinto enibulaleke ngazo.

₈“Ngelo xesha ke ze ningenzi njengoko niqhele ukwenza ngako. Ukuza kuthi gaa ngoku benisenza okulungileyo emehlweni enu, ₉kuba kaloku beningekangeni kwelo lizwe niliphiwa nguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, apho niya kuphumla ngokonwaba khona. ₁₀Nakuthi nakuyiwela iJordan, uNdikhoyo anivumele ningene kwelo lizwe, nime kulo. Uya kunigcina nikhuselekile ezintshabeni, nihlale ngenzolo. ₁₁UNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uya kunyula indawo ibe nye apho liya kuzinza khona igama lakhe, ahlale khona. Zonke ke izinto endiniyalele ngazo nozisa khona: amadini atshiswayo namanye angawambi, izishumi neminikelo yemveliso yenu, ngokunjalo nezipho ezizodwa enibhambathisa ngazo kuNdikhoyo. ₁₂Ze nonwabe ke apho phambi kwakhe ndawonye neentsapho nezicaka zenu kunye nabaLevi enihlala nabo, kuba kaloku bona ababelwanga mhlaba ungowabo njengani. ₁₃Amadini atshiswayo akufuneki niwenzele naphi na apho nithanda khona, ₁₄koko kufuneka niwenzele kuloo ndawo ayinyulileyo uNdikhoyo kumhlaba wenye yezindlu zenu. Amadini enu atshiswayo nowenzela kuloo ndawo kuphela, ngokunjalo ke nazo zonke izinto endiniyalele ukuba nizenze.

₁₅“Kambe ke nikhululekile ukuba nixhele kwimfuyo yenu, niyixhelele naphi na apho nihlala khona. Ningatya kangangoko nithamsanqeliswa nguNdikhoyo. Xa ninonke abahlambulukileyo nabangahlambulukanga bangayitya inyama leyo kwanjengokuba nisenza kweyebhadi okanye inxala. ₁₆Ke lona igazi ningaze nilitye, koko lichitheni phantsi oku kwamanzi. ₁₇Into eniyinikela kuNdikhoyo mayingatyelwa apho nihlala khona; ngokunjalo nezishumi zengqolowa, iwayini entsha, namafutha omnquma, noba ngamazibulo eenkomo okanye aweegusha, nezipho enibhambathise ngazo kuNdikhoyo, okanye ezokuqhutywa yintliziyo, kanti ke nawuphi na umnikelo. ₁₈Le minikelo kufuneka niyityele phambi koNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, kuloo ndawo ayinyulele ukuzinziswa kwegama lakhe. Yona ke mayityiwe nini nabantwana, izicaka ngokunjalo nabaLevi enihlala nabo, nikuxhamle ngokonwaba ukubulaleka kwenu. ₁₉Ke bona abaLevi ningaze nibalahle nanini na xa nisahleli kwelo lizwe.

₂₀“Uya kuthi ke uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu akuwandisa umhlaba wenu ngokwesithembiso sakhe, nixhele nitye inyama nanini na nifuna. ₂₁Ukuba indawo leyo yonqulo ikude, ningaxhela kwimfuyo yenu, nityele apho emakhaya ngokuthanda kwenu ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo njengoko ndanichazelayo. ₂₂Nabani na angayitya le nyama, ehlambulukile okanye engahlambulukanga, kwanjengokuba niyitya inyama yebhadi okanye eyenxala. ₂₃Inyama emaningayityi yenegazi; kaloku ubomi busegazini, ibe ke akufuneki nitye inyama ndawonye nobomi. ₂₄Ke lona igazi ningaze nilitye, koko lichitheni phantsi oku kwamanzi. ₂₅Ukuba niyazikhwebula ekutyeni igazi uNdikhoyo uya kukholiseka nini, futhi ke kulunge kuni, ngokunjalo nakwizizukulwana zenu. ₂₆Yonke into eninikela ngayo kuThixo, nezipho enibhambathise ngazo, ziseni kuloo ndawo uNdikhoyo ayinyulileyo. ₂₇Nowanikela eqongeni likaNdikhoyo uThixo wenu amadini enu atshiswayo, inyama negazi. Igazi ze nilithulule apho ngaseqongeni, inyama yona niyitye. ₂₈Nyamekani niyithobele le miyalelo ndininika yona, ukuze nilungelwe ndawonye nezizukulwana zenu, nanini nanini, kuba kaloku noba nisenza yonke into ngokusesikweni nangendlela emkholisayo uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

₂₉“Niyabona ke, *uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uya kuzitshabalalisa ezi zizwe xa ningenayo emhlabeni wazo, ke nina ningene nime kuwo. ₃₀Akuba ezitshabalalisile ke uNdikhoyo ezi zizwe, lumkani ningangeni kumgibe wokubuzisa *ngoothixo bazo, nisithi: ‘Zibakhonza njani oothixo ezi zizwe, ukuze nathi senjenjalo?’ ₃₁UNdikhoyo uThixo wenu ze ningamnquli ngeendlela ezibanqula ngayo oothixo bazo, kuba kaloku zona zinqula ngeendlela ezimanyumnyezi azicaphukelayo uNdikhoyo. Kaloku zona zide zitshise abantwana bazo emlilweni, zisenzela izithixo zazo amadini.

₃₂“Konke endiniyalela kona kwenzeni ngokwelizwi lam, ningaphambuki nakancinane ngokusuka nandise okanye niphungule.

₁“Ukuba kuvela umshumayeli okanye umlawuli-maphupha phakathi kwenu, evakalisa ummangaliso okanye umqondiso oza kubakho, ₂ize ke kwenzeke ngokwaloo mmangaliso okanye loo mqondiso, aze athi: ‘Masilandele *thixo bambi’ – thixo abo eningazange nibazi – aqhubele phambili athi: ‘Masibanqule,’ ₃ze ningawathatheli ngqalelo amazwi aloo mshumayeli okanye loo mphuphi. Kaloku uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uyanivavanya, khon' ukuze aqonde ukuba nimthanda ngengondo iphela nangomoya uphela na. ₄NguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu emanimlandele, nimhlonele. Mthobeleni, niyenze imiyalelo yakhe; futhi mkhonzeni, nibambelele kuye. ₅Nabani na ongumshumayeli okanye umphuphi oniqhubela ekuvukeleni uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu mbulaleni. Kaloku uNdikhoyo lo ngulo wanikhupha eJiputa apho naningamakhoboka khona. Umntu onjalo uzama ukunilukuhla, khon' ukuze niphulukane nehambo eniyalelwe yona nguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. Ubugwenxa mabususwe mpela phakathi kwenu.

₆“Nkqu nomntakwenu, noba ngunyana okanye intombi, mhlawumbi umfazi wakho omthandayo, noba sisihlobo sakho esisenyongweni, singakulukuhla sikukhuthaze ngasese ngelithi: ‘Masiye kunqula thixo bambi’ – thixo abo ongabaziyo nabangazange banqulwe nangooyihlo-mkhulu, ₇oothixo bezizwe eziningqongileyo okanye abo bezizwe ezisekudeni. ₈Kambe ke ungaze umqhelisele nakancinci; ungamphulaphuli. Ungaze ube nalusini nanceba kuye; ungaze umqume. ₉Mbulale nya; mayibe nguwe kanye ophambili, baze ke nabanye bakulandele. ₁₀Ewe, mgibisele ngamatye umbulale, kuba ebezama ukukuqweqwedisa, khon' ukuze umlahle uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho owakukhulula ulikhoboka eJiputa. ₁₁Aya kuthi ke akuyiva loo nto, atsho onke amaSirayeli oyike, kungaze kubekho mntu phakathi kwenu ulenzayo isikizi elinjalo.

₁₂“Xa senihlala kwezo zixeko aniphe zona uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, kungenzeka nive ₁₃ukuba kukho zinkewu zilulahlekisileyo uhlanga apho esixekweni, zisithi: ‘Masiye kunqula abanye oothixo’ – thixo abo eningabaziyo. ₁₄Nakuba niluvile ke umingi-mingi olunjalo, luphandeni ngokucokisekileyo; nithi ke ukuba luyinyani, kwaye kucace mhlophe ukuba ngenene likho isikizi elinjalo elenzekileyo, ₁₅ze nibabulale bonke abemi beso sixeko ndawonye nemfuyo yabo. Ewe, vuthululani konke kutshabalale. ₁₆Ziqokeleleni zonke izinto ezizezâbo bantu, nizifumbe ebaleni lembutho. Watshiseni onke loo maxhoba ndawonye nesixeko eso, nenzele uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu umnikelo otshiswayo. Mayisale ilinxuwa nanini nanini, ingaze iphinde yakhiwe. ₁₇Ningabokuzishiyela nento le kwebezimiselwe ukutshatyalaliswa. Ukuba niyenzile ke loo nto uNdikhoyo uya kwetha emsindweni wakhe, abe novelwano ngani. Ngenene wosikwa yinceba, anandise ngokwesithembiso sesifungo sakhe kooyihlo-mkhulu ₁₈xa nithe nayithobela imiyalelo yakhe endinimisele yona namhlanje, nakwenza konke akufunayo uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

₁“Nina ningabantwana *bakaNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, ngoko ke ze ningaziqaphuli okanye nibe nendawo eniyichebayo entloko xa nizilela abangasekhoyo, njengoko zisenza ezinye iintlanga. ₂Kaloku nina niyimilowo kaNdikhoyo ncakasana; kuzo zonke izizwe zehlabathi nina waninyula ukuba nibe libango lakhe.”

₃“Yonke into athi *uNdikhoyo lisikizi ze ningayityi. ₄Nazi izinto enivumelekileyo ukuba nizitye: inkomo, igusha, ibhokwe, ₅inxala, ibhadi, imbabala, itshabangqa, inqu, neula, ₆naso nasiphi na isilwanyana esimpuphu zicandiweyo, futhi sisetyisa. ₇Isilwanyana emasityiwe sesineempuphu ezicandiweyo, esetyisayo. Yona inkamela, umvundla, nembila, azityiwa. Zona azihlambulukanga, kuba ziyetyisa, kodwa iimpuphu zazo azicandwanga. ₈Ngokunjalo nehagu ayityiwa, kuba nayo ayihlambulukanga; kaloku iimpuphu zayo zicandiwe, kodwa ayetyisi. Ezi zilwanyana ke ze ningazityi, futhi nezidumbu zazo ningaze nizichukumise.

₉“Zonke iindidi zeentlanzi ezinamaphiko namaxolo ningazitya. ₁₀Kambe ke yonke into ehlala emanzini ingenawo amaphiko namaxolo sanukuyitya, *inomlaza.

₁₁“Zonke iintaka ezihlambulukileyo ningazitya. _12-18Kambe ke nazi ezingàtyiwayo: ukhozi, isikhova, ukhetshe, intambanane, untloyiya, ixhalanga, ihlungulu, inciniba, ingabangaba, ukhwalimanzi, udebeza, ingwamza, isihulu-hulu, ubhobhoyi, nelulwane – zonke ezi nezifana nazo. ₁₉Zonke izinambuzane ezibhabhayo ezingahlambulukanga mazingatyiwa. ₂₀Kambe ke ezihlambulukileyo ningazitya.

₂₁“Isilwanyana esifileyo asityiwa. Kambe ke zona iintlanga eziphakathi kwenu zingasitya, okanye ningasithengisa nakubahambi. Ke nina niyimilowo kaNdikhoyo uThixo wenu – abantu bakhe ncakasana.

“Ningaze nipheke itakane ngobisi lukanina.”

₂₂“Kufuneka nisibekele bucala isishumi – oko kukuthi isahlulo seshumi kuyo yonke imveliso yakho yamasimi minyaka le. ₂₃Ngoko ke wosithatha isishumi eso, uye naso kulaa ndawo inyulwe *nguNdikhoyo uThixo wakho ukuze lizinze khona igama lakhe, usityele khona phambi kwakhe – noba yingqolowa, iwayini entsha, amafutha omnquma, okanye amazibulo enkomo noba ngawegusha. Le nto ke noyenza khon' ukuze nifunde ukuhlala nimhlonela uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. ₂₄Xa kunokwenzeka ukuba ithi kanti indawo leyo yonqulo ikude gqitha kumakhaya enu, ukuba nibe nako ukuthwala imveliso leyo anithamsanqele ngayo uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, niye nayo kuyo, ze nenjenje: ₂₅Yithengiseni imveliso leyo, nize nithathe imali leyo, niye nayo apho kwindawo yonqulo. ₂₆Ze nifike nithenge ngayo nokuba yintoni na – ingayinkomo, igusha, iwayini, noba yenye into eselwayo, nantoni na eniyinqwenelayo. Nothi ke apho phambi koNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, nihlale kunye neentsapho zenu, nixhamle ezo zidlo nonwabile.

₂₇“Ningaze nibalahle abaLevi abahlala phakathi kwenu; kaloku bona abanamhlaba. ₂₈Njalo ekupheleni konyaka wesithathu, thathani isishumi semveliso yenu, nisigcine kwezo ndawo nihlala kuzo. ₂₉Esi yoba sisabelo sabaLevi njengoko bengenamhlaba bona, ndawonye nabangeneleli, iinkedama, nabahlolokazi abahlala phakathi kwenu. Kofuneka beze bathathe batye banele. Le nto ke yenzeni khon' ukuze uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu anithamsanqele kuyo yonke into eniyenzayo.”

₁“Njalo ekupheleni konyaka wesixhenxe iya kuba lithuba lokucinywa kwamatyala. ₂Le nto ke noyenza ngolu hlobo: Nabani na obeboleke uwabo ulutho kufuneka alicime elo tyala, angabi sayithatha loo nto, kuba lithuba lokucinywa kwamatyala elimiselwe *nguNdikhoyo. ₃Yona into oyibanjwa yintlanga ungayibiza, kodwa oyibanjwa ngumwenu ungabi sayithatha. ₄Ke yena uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uya kunithamsanqela kwelo lizwe aninika lona, kangangokuba kungabikho namnye umntu olihlwempu, ₅ukuba ngaba nithe namthobela nazinyamekela ukuzenza zonke izinto endiniyalele zona namhlanje. ₆UNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uya kunithamsanqela ngokwesithembiso sakhe. Niya kuba nako ukubolekisa ezizweni, kodwa nina ngokwenu ningaboleki nto mntwini. Niya kuba namagunya phezu kwezizwe, kodwa nina akukho sizwe siya kuba namagunya phezu kwenu.

₇“Kwelo lizwe aninika lona uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, ukuba kuthe kwakho umwenu dolophini ithile osweleyo, uze ungavimbi usifinyeze isandla sakho, wale ukumnceda. ₈Ndaweni yaloo nto uze ube nezinwe, umboleke umncede kangangoko eswele. ₉Uze ungali ukumboleka into ngenxa yokuba sowukufuphi unyaka wokucinywa kwamatyala. Into enjalo yinkohlakalo; uze ungayivumeli ingene nokungena oku engqondweni yakho. Xa uthe wala ukumnceda, yena uya kubhenela kuNdikhoyo, uze ke wena ube netyala. ₁₀Yiba nezinwe, umphe ungakrokri; ke yena uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho uya kukuthamsanqela kuyo yonke into oyenzayo. ₁₁Baya kusoloko bekhona abahlelelekileyo; ngoko ke ndiyaniyala ukuba ze nibe nezinwe ngakumawenu nakwabahlelelekileyo namahlwempu apho kwelo lizwe lenu.”

₁₂“Xa umwenu umHebhere okanye umHebherekazi ethe wathengiswa kuwe, walikhoboka lakho, aze akusebenzele iminyaka ibe mithandathu, uze umkhulule ngowesixhenxe. ₁₃Ekumkhululeni kwakho ke, uze ungamndululi ungamnikanga nto. ₁₄Uze ube nezinwe, umphe kwizinto othamsanqelwe ngazo *nguNdikhoyo uThixo wakho: iigusha, ingqolowa, newayini. ₁₅Khumbula ukuba nawe wawukhe walikhoboka kwelaseJiputa, waza uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho wakukhulula. Kungoko ndikunika lo myalelo namhlanje.

₁₆“Kambe ke xa ikhoboka lakho lisithi: ‘Andifuni kukhululeka ndikushiye,’ lisitsho kuba likuthanda, kuba lanelisekile nguwe nekhaya lakho, ₁₇uze ulithathe ulise elucangweni lwendlu yakho, uligqoboze iindlebe ngenyatyhowa. Ngolo hlobo ke loba likhoboka lakho bonke ubomi balo. Yoba seso ke nakwikhoboka elibhinqileyo. ₁₈Uze ungakhathazeki xa kufuneka ukhulule ikhoboka lakho; kaloku lona likusebenzele iminyaka emithandathu ngesiqingatha sexabiso obuya kulihlawula xa ubuliqeshile. Ukuba wenza ngale ndlela ke uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho uya kukuthamsanqela kuko konke okwenzayo.”

₁₉“Onke amazibulo angamaduna eenkomo naweegusha ayinxaxheba *kaNdikhoyo uThixo wakho; ezi nkomo uze ungazisebenzisi, ngokunjalo neegusha ungazichebi. ₂₀Minyaka le ke uya kuwathatha uye nawo kwindawo anqulelwa kuyo uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, ufike uwaxhele uwatyele khona nosapho lwakho. ₂₁Kambe ke xa kukho elinesiphako kula mazibulo, noba liyaqhwalela, mhlawumbi liyimfama, okanye linaso nasiphi na isiphako, uzungamenzeli idini ngalo uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho. ₂₂Elinjalo ungalixhela ulityele ekhaya. Xa ninonke, nihlambulukile ningahlambulukanga, ningalitya kwanjengokuba nisitya inxala okanye imbabala. ₂₃Kambe ke lona igazi lalo sukulitya, koko lichithe phantsi okwamanzi.”
