Bible Reading Plan – Day 49

₁“Sase siphenduka sakhuphuka ngendlela eya eBashani; u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani waphuma wasihlasela, yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe, ukuzokulwa ngase-Edireyi. ₂UJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Ungamesabi, ngokuba ngimnikele yena nabo bonke abantu bakhe nezwe lakhe esandleni sakho, wena wenze kuye, njengalokho wenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owahlala eHeshiboni.’

₃“UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wayesenikela esandleni sethu naye u-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani nabantu bakhe bonke; samnqoba, akwaze kwasala muntu kuye. ₄Sathatha yonke imizi yakhe ngaleso sikhathi; akubangakho muzi esingawuthathanga kubo: imizi engamashumi ayisithupha, sonke isifunda sase-Arigobi, umbuso ka-Ogi eBashani. ₅Yonke lena yayiyimizi ebiyelwe ngezingange eziphakemeyo, namasango, nemigoqo, ngaphandle kwemizana eminingi kakhulu. ₆Sayichitha sayiqeda, njengalokho senza kuSihoni inkosi yaseHeshiboni, sichitha siqeda yonke imizi enamadoda nabesifazane nezingane. ₇Kepha izinkomo nempango yemizi sakuthatha kwaba yimpango yethu.

₈“Salithatha ngaleso sikhathi izwe esandleni samakhosi ama-Amori aphesheya kweJordani, kusukela esigodini sase-Arinoni kuze kube sentabeni yaseHermoni ₉eliyiHermoni elibizwa ngamaSidoni ngokuthi iSiriyoni nama-Amori alibiza ngokuthi iSeniri ₁₀yonke imizi yasethafeni, nalo lonke elakwaGileyadi, nalo lonke iBashani kuze kube seSaleka nase-Edireyi, imizi yasembusweni ka-Ogi eBashani. ₁₁Ngokuba u-Ogi kuphela, inkosi yaseBashani, wasala ensalini yamaRefa; bheka, ibhokisi lakhe laliyibhokisi lensimbi; angithi liseRaba kubantwana bakwa-Amoni; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisishiyagalolunye, nobubanzi balo buyizingalo ezine, ngokwengalo yomuntu.

₁₂“Lelo zwe salidla ngaleso sikhathi; izwe elisukela e-Aroweri elisesigodini sase-Arinoni, nenxenye yezintaba zakwaGileyadi, nemizi yalo, sabanika khona abakwaRubeni nabakwaGadi; ₁₃insali yakwaGileyadi, nalo lonke iBashani, umbuso ka-Ogi, nganika lokho inxenye yesizwe sakwaManase, sonke isifunda sase-Arigobi neBashani lonke elibizwa ngokuthi izwe lamaRefa. ₁₄UJayire indodana kaManase wathatha sonke isifunda sase-Arigobi kuze kube semkhawulweni wamaGeshuri nowamaMahakhathi, wasibiza – lona iBashani – ngegama lakhe ngokuthi iHawoti Jayire kuze kube namuhla. ₁₅Ngamnika uMakiri elakwaGileyadi. ₁₆AbakwaRubeni nabakwaGadi ngabanika okusukela kwaGileyadi kuze kube sesigodini sase-Arinoni phakathi nesigodi kwaba ngumkhawulo nasemfuleni iJakobi elingumkhawulo wabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ₁₇ne-Araba futhi, neJordani elingumkhawulo, kusukela eKinereti kuze kube seLwandle lwase-Araba, uLwandle Lukasawoti, phansi kwemithambeka yasePisiga ngasempumalanga.

₁₈“Ngaleso sikhathi nganiyala ngathi: ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uninikile leli zwe ukuba nilidle; niyakuwela nihlomile phambi kwabafowenu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nonke eningamadoda anesibindi. ₁₉Kepha omkenu, nabancane benu, nezinkomo zenu – ngiyazi ukuthi ninezinkomo eziningi – bayakuhlala emizini yenu engininike yona, ₂₀uJehova aze aphe abafowenu ukuphumula njengani, nabo balidle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ayakubanika lona ngaphesheya kweJordani, andukuba nibuyele, kube yilowo nalowo ezweni lakhe engininike lona.’

₂₁“Ngamyala uJoshuwa ngaleso sikhathi, ngathi: ‘Amehlo akho abonile konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akwenzile kulawo makhosi amabili: kanjalo uJehova uyakwenza kuyo yonke imibuso eniyidabulayo. ₂₂Aniyikubesaba, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguyena onilwelayo.’

₂₃“Ngaleso sikhathi ngacela kuJehova, ngathi: ₂₄‘Nkosi Jehova, uqalile ukubonisa inceku yakho ubukhulu bakho nesandla sakho esinamandla, ngokuba ngumuphi unkulunkulu ezulwini nasemhlabeni ongenza njengemisebenzi yakho nanjengezenzo zakho zamandla na? ₂₅Ake ngiwele, ngilibone izwe elihle elingaphesheya kweJordani, leyo ntaba enhle, neLebanoni.’

₂₆“Kepha uJehova wangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, akangizwanga; uJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Mawudele; ungabe usakhuluma nami ngale ndaba. ₂₇Khuphukela esiqongweni sasePisiga, uphakamisele amehlo akho ngasentshonalanga, nangasenyakatho, nangaseningizimu, nangasempumalanga, ulibheke ngamehlo akho, ngokuba awuyikuliwela leli Jordani. ₂₈Kepha yala uJoshuwa, umqunge isibindi, umqinise, ngokuba uyakuwela phambi kwalaba bantu, abenze ukuba balidle izwe oyakulibona.’ ₂₉Sahlala-ke esigodini esimalungana neBeti Peyori.

₁“Manje-ke, Israyeli, yizwa izimiso nezahlulelo enginifundisa zona ukuba nizenze, nize niphile, ningene nilidle izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo aninika lona. ₂Aniyikuthasisela ezwini enginiyala ngalo, ninganciphisi futhi kulo, ukuba nigcine imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu enginiyala ngayo.

₃“Amehlo enu abonile okwenziwa nguJehova ngenxa kaBali Peyori ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wabachitha phakathi kwakho bonke abantu ababemlandela uBali Peyori. ₄Kodwa nina enanamathela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nisekhona nonke nanamuhla.

₅“Bhekani, nginifundisile izimiso nezahlulelo njengokungiyala kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wami ukuthi niyakwenza kanjalo phakathi kwezwe eningena kulo ukulidla. ₆Ngalokho manizigcine, nizenze, ngokuba lokhu kungukuhlakanipha kwenu nokuqonda kwenu emehlweni ezizwe eziyakuzizwa zonke lezi zimiso, zithi: ‘Impela lesi sizwe esikhulu singabantu abahlakaniphileyo nabaqondileyo.’ ₇Ngokuba yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esinonkulunkulu oseduze naso njengoJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, enjalo nanini lapho simbiza, na? ₈Yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esinezimiso nezahlulelo ezilungile njengawo wonke lo mthetho engiwubeka phambi kwenu namuhla na?

₉“Kepha xwaya, ugcine kahle umphefumulo wakho, funa ukhohlwe izinto azibonayo amehlo akho, zimuke enhliziyweni yakho izinsuku zonke zokuhamba kwakho; bazise zona abantwana bakho nabantwana babantwana bakho: ₁₀usuku owema ngalo phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe, lapho uJehova wathi kimi: ‘Ngibuthele abantu, ngibezwise amazwi ami ukuba bafunde ukungesaba zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwabo emhlabeni, bafundise nabantwana babo.’ ₁₁Nase nisondela, nema phansi kwentaba; intaba yavutha umlilo kwaze kwaba phakathi kwezulu, inobumnyama, namafu, nesigayegaye. ₁₂UJehova wayesekhuluma kini ephakathi komlilo; nezwa izwi likhuluma, kepha anibonanga simo, kwakuyizwi kuphela. ₁₃Wanimemezelela isivumelwano sakhe aniyala ngaso ukuba nisenze, imiyalelo eyishumi; wayiloba ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe. ₁₄UJehova wanginika ngaleso sikhathi ukunifundisa izimiso nezahlulelo ukuba nizenze ezweni eningena kulo ukulidla.

₁₅“Gcinani kahle imiphefumulo yenu, lokhu ningabonanga simo ngalolo suku uJehova akhuluma ngalo kini eHorebe ephakathi komlilo, ₁₆funa none, nizenzele izithombe ezibaziweyo, isimo somfanekiso wowesilisa noma owowesifazane, ₁₇noma umfanekiso wesilwane esisemhlabeni, noma umfanekiso wenyoni enamaphiko, endizayo emkhathini, ₁₈noma umfanekiso wesilwanyana esinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, noma umfanekiso wenhlanzi esemanzini phansi komhlaba, ₁₉funa uphakamisele amehlo akho ezulwini, nalapho ubona ilanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi, lonke ibandla lezulu, uyengwe, uze ukhuleke kukho, ukukhonze, okwabelwe izizwe zonke eziphansi kwezulu nguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho. ₂₀Kepha uJehova wakuthatha, wakukhipha esithandweni sensimbi, iGibithe, ube ngabantu befa kuye njenganamuhla.

₂₁“Futhi uJehova wangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, wafunga ukuthi angiyikuwela iJordani nokuthi angiyikungena kulelo zwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona libe yifa lakho, ₂₂kepha ngimelwe ukufa mina kulelizwe, ngingaweli iJordani; kodwa nina niyakuwela, nilidle lelo zwe elihle. ₂₃Xwayani, funa nikhohlwe isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu owasenza nani ngokuzenzela izithombe ezibaziweyo ngomfanekiso wento uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akwenqabela yona. ₂₄Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ungumlilo oqothulayo, unguNkulunkulu onomhawu.

₂₅“Nxa uyakuzala abantwana nabantwana babantwana, nanxa senihlale isikhathi eside ezweni, none, nenze izithombe ezibaziweyo ngomfanekiso wento ethile, nenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, nimthukuthelise, ₂₆ngifakazisa namuhla izulu nomhlaba ngani ukuthi niyakuphela nokuphela masinyane ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuya kulo ukuba nilidle; aniyikwandisa izinsuku zenu kulo: niyakuqothulwa nokuqothulwa. ₂₇UJehova uyakunihlakazela ezizweni, nisale niyingcosana phakathi kwabezizwe, lapho uJehova eyakuniholela khona. ₂₈Lapho niyakukhonza onkulunkulu, umsebenzi wezandla zabantu, imithi namatshe, abangaboni, abangezwa, abangahogeli. ₂₉Uma nina niselapho nimfuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, niyakumfumana, uma nimfuna ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu nangawo wonke umphefumulo wenu. ₃₀Uma usekuhluphekeni, zikwehlela zonke lezi zinto, uyakuphendukela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngezinsuku zokugcina, ulalele izwi lakhe, ₃₁ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu onomusa; akayikukushiya, angakubhubhisi, angakhohlwa isivumelwano sawoyihlo asifungela bona.

₃₂“Ngokuba ake ubuze izinsuku ezidlulileyo ezaziphambi kwakho, kusukela osukwini uNkulunkulu adala ngalo umuntu emhlabeni, kusukela kolunye uhlangothi lwezulu kuze kufike kolunye, uma kwake kwaba khona into engaka nokuba kwake kwezwakala okungangayo na? ₃₃Abantu bake balizwa yini izwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma livela phakathi komlilo, njengalokho wena uzwile, baphile, na? ₃₄UNkulunkulu wake walinga yini ukuhamba eyozithabathela isizwe phakathi kwesinye isizwe ngezilingo, nangezibonakaliso, nangezimangaliso, nangempi, nangesandla esinamandla, nangengalo eyeluliweyo, nangengebhe enkulu njengakho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu anenzela khona eGibithe phambi kwamehlo enu, na?

₃₅“Wena waboniswa lokho ukuba wazi ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu, akakho omunye ngaphandle kwakhe. ₃₆Esezulwini wakuzwisa izwi lakhe ukuba akufundise; emhlabeni wakubonisa umlilo wakhe omkhulu; wena wezwa amazwi akhe evela phakathi komlilo. ₃₇Lokhu ebethanda oyihlo wakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo, wakukhipha yena uqobo ngamandla akhe amakhulu eGibithe ₃₈ukuba axoshe izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe phambi kwakho, angenise wena, akunike izwe labo libe yifa lakho njenganamuhla.

₃₉“Yazi namuhla, ukungenise enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu ezulwini phezulu nasemhlabeni phansi; akakho omunye. ₄₀Wogcina izimiso zakhe nemiyalo yakhe engikuyala ngakho namuhla ukuba kube kuhle kuwe, nakubantwana bakho emva kwakho, wandise izinsuku zakho ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona kuze kube phakade.”

₄₁Khona uMose wahlukanisa imizi emithathu ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga ₄₂ukuba umbulali abalekele khona, obulala umakhelwane wakhe kungengamabomu, ebekade engamzondi, wothi aphile uma ebalekela komunye waleyo mizi: ₄₃iBeseri elisehlane ezweni lethafa libe ngowabakwaRubeni, neRamoti elikwaGileyadi libe ngowabakwaGadi, neGolanu eliseBashani libe ngowabakwaManase.

₄₄Yiwo umthetho uMose awubeka phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ₄₅yibo ubufakazi, nezimiso, nezahlulelo uMose akukhulumayo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe, ₄₆ngaphesheya kweJordani esigodini malungana neBeti Peyori ezweni likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owahlala eHeshiboni, owanqotshwa nguMose nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe. ₄₇Balithatha izwe lakhe, balidla kanye nezwe lika-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani, amakhosi amabili ama-Amori ayengaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga, ₄₈kusukela e-Aroweri eliseceleni kwesigodi sase-Arinoni kuze kube sentabeni yaseSiyoni eyiHermoni, ₄₉nalo lonke i-Araba ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga, kuze kube seLwandle lwase-Araba phansi kwemithambeka yasePisiga.

₁UMose wayesebiza wonke u-Israyeli, wathi kuye: “Yizwa, Israyeli, izimiso nezahlulelo engizikhuluma ezindlebeni zakho namuhla ukuba uzifunde, uqaphele ukuzenza. ₂UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wenza isivumelwano nathi eHorebe. ₃UJehova akasenzanga lesi sivumelwano nawobaba, wasenza nathi, yebo, thina esikhona lapha sonke namuhla siphilile. ₄UJehova wakhuluma kinina ubuso nobuso entabeni ephakathi komlilo. ₅Mina ngema phakathi kukaJehova nani ngaleso sikhathi ukunazisa izwi likaJehova, ngokuba nesaba ngenxa yomlilo, anakhuphukela entabeni. Wathi:

₆“ ‘NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owakukhipha ezweni laseGibithe, indlu yobugqila.

₇“ ‘Ungabi nabanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.

₈“ ‘Ungazenzeli izithombe ezibaziweyo zomfanekiso wokusezulwini phezulu, nokusemhlabeni phansi, nokusemanzini phansi komhlaba; ₉ungazikhothameli, ungazikhonzi, ngokuba mina Jehova uNkulunkulu wakho nginguNkulunkulu onomhawu, ngihambela ububi bawoyise kubantwana kuso isizukulwane sesithathu nesesine sabangizondayo, ₁₀kepha ngibenzela umusa abayizinkulungwane abangithandayo, bagcine imiyalelo yami.

₁₁“ ‘Ungaliphathi ngeze igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ngokuba uJehova akayikumyeka oliphatha ngeze igama lakhe.

₁₂“ ‘Gcina usuku lwesabatha, ulungcwelise, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ekuyalile. ₁₃Izinsuku eziyisithupha uyakusebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho, ₁₄kepha usuku lwesikhombisa luyisabatha likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; awuyikusebenza msebenzi ngalo, wena nendodana yakho, nendodakazi yakho, nenceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nenkabi yakho, nembongolo yakho, nezinkomo zakho, nomfokazi wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho, ukuba inceku yakho nencekukazi yakho ziphumule njengawe. ₁₅Wokhumbula ukuthi wawuyinceku ezweni laseGibithe nokuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakukhipha khona ngesandla esinamandla nangengalo eyeluliweyo; ngalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuyala ukugcina usuku lwesabatha.

₁₆“ ‘Yazisa uyihlo nonyoko, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuyala, ukuze izinsuku zakho zibe zinde, kube kuhle kuwe ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona.

₁₇“ ‘Ungabulali.

₁₈“ ‘Ungaphingi.

₁₉“ ‘Ungebi.

₂₀“ ‘Ungafakazi amanga ngomakhelwane wakho.

₂₁“ ‘Ungafisi umfazi womakhelwane wakho; ungafisi indlu yomakhelwane wakho, nensimu yakhe, nenceku yakhe, nencekukazi yakhe, nenkabi yakhe, nembongolo yakhe, nokunye okomakhelwane wakho.’

₂₂“Lawo mazwi uJehova wawakhuluma kuyo yonke inhlangano yenu entabeni, evela phakathi komlilo, nefu, nesigayegaye, ngezwi elikhulu, akathasiselanga lutho. Wawaloba ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe, wanginika zona.
