Isithembiso somNaziri*

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Nxa owesilisa noma owesifazane enza isithembiso esithile, isithembiso somNaziri,* ukuzahlukanisela kuJehova, 3uyakuzahlukanisa newayini nophuzo olunamandla, angaphuzi uviniga wewayini, noviniga wophuzo olunamandla, angaphuzi okwezithelo zomvini, futhi angadli izithelo zomvini ezimanzi nezomileyo. 4Zonke izinsuku zobuNaziri bakhe akayikudla lutho olwenziwe ngewayini lezithelo zomvini, kusukela ezimbumbulwini kuze kufike emakhasini.

5“ ‘Zonke izinsuku zesithembiso sakhe sobuNaziri kungasondeli mpuco ekhanda lakhe; uyakuba ngcwele zize ziphelele izinsuku azahlukanisela ngazo kuJehova, avume isihluthu sezinwele zekhanda lakhe sibe side. 6Zonke izinsuku engumNaziri kaJehova akayikusondela esidumbini. 7Akayikuzingcolisa ngoyise noma ngonina, noma ngomfowabo noma ngodadewabo, nxa befile, ngokuba isithembiso sakhe sobuNaziri sisekhanda lakhe. 8Zonke izinsuku zobuNaziri bakhe ungcwele kuJehova.

9“ ‘Uma umuntu efa ngokuzumayo eceleni kwakhe, angcolise ikhanda lobuNaziri bakhe, uyakuphucula ikhanda lakhe ngosuku lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, aliphucule ngosuku lwesikhombisa. 10Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili uyakuletha amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba kumpristi ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana; 11umpristi uyakunikela ngelinye libe ngumnikelo wesono nangelinye libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, amenzele ukubuyisana, ngokuba wona ngenxa yofileyo; abesengcwelisa ikhanda lakhe ngalolo suku. 12Uyakwahlukanisela kuJehova izinsuku zobuNaziri bakhe, alethe imvu yeduna enomnyaka munye, ibe ngumnikelo wecala; kepha izinsuku zakuqala ziyakuba yize, ngokuba ubuNaziri bakhe bungcolisiwe.

13“ ‘Nanku umthetho womNaziri lapho izinsuku zobuNaziri bakhe seziphelele wokuthi uyakulethwa emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, 14anikele ngomnikelo wakhe kuJehova, imvu yeduna enomnyaka munye engenasici ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, neyensikazi enomnyaka munye engenasici ibe ngumnikelo wesono, nenqama engenasici ibe ngumnikelo wokuthula, 15neqoma lesinkwa esingenamvubelo, amaqebelengwane empuphu ecolekileyo exovwe namafutha, nemiqathane engenamvubelo, egcotshwe ngamafutha, nomnikelo wempuphu nowokuphuzwa walokho.

16“ ‘Umpristi uyakukuletha phambi kukaJehova, anikele ngomnikelo wakhe wesono nangowokushiswa wakhe. 17Uyakunikela ngenqama ibe ngumhlatshelo womnikelo wokuthula kaJehova kanye neqoma lesinkwa esingenamvubelo; futhi umpristi anikele ngomnikelo wayo wempuphu nangomnikelo wayo wokuphuzwa.

18“ ‘UmNaziri uyakuphucula ikhanda lobuNaziri bakhe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, athathe izinwele zekhanda lobuNaziri bakhe, azibeke emlilweni ophansi komhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula.

19“ ‘Umpristi uyakuthabatha umkhono ophekiweyo wenqama, neqebelengwane eqomeni, nomqathane ongenamvubelo, akufake ezandleni zomNaziri, nxa esephuculile ubuNaziri bakhe, 20umpristi akuzulise, kube ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kukaJehova; lokhu kungcwele kumpristi kanye nesifuba sokuzuliswa nethanga lokuphakanyiswa; emva kwalokho umNaziri angaphuza iwayini.

21“ ‘Lowo ungumthetho womNaziri owenzile isithembiso nowomnikelo wakhe kuJehova ngenxa yobuNaziri bakhe, ngaphandle kokunye angaphumelela kukho; njengesithembiso sakhe asenzayo uyakwenza kanjalo njengomthetho wobuNaziri.’ ”

22UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 23“Yisho ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe, uthi: ‘Niyakubusisa kanje abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, niyakusho kubo, nithi:

24“ ‘ “UJehova makakubusise, akulondoloze;

25uJehova makakhanyise ubuso bakhe phezu kwakho,

abe nomusa kuwe;

26uJehova makaphakamise ubuso bakhe phezu kwakho,

akuphe ukuthula.” ’

27“Bayakubeka kanjalo igama lami kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, mina ngibabusise.”

Izibani zasothini

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Yisho ku-Aroni, uthi kuye: ‘Nxa ubeka izibani, izibani eziyisikhombisa mazikhanyise ngaphambi kothi lwezibani.’ ”

3U-Aroni wenze njalo; wabeka izibani zalo ukuba zikhanyise ngaphambi kothi lwezibani, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose. 4Nanku umsebenzi wothi lwezibani, umsebenzi wegolide elikhandiweyo: kuze kube sesinqeni salo nasezimbalini zalo kwakungumsebenzi okhandiweyo; njengesifanekiso uJehova asibonise uMose, wenze njalo uthi lwezibani.

Ukumiswa kwamaLevi

5UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 6“Thabatha amaLevi phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ubahlambulule. 7Uyakwenza kanje kubo ukuba ubahlambulule: fafaza amanzi okuphothula, baziphucule umzimba wonke, bahlanze izingubo zabo, bazihlambulule. 8Bathabathe iduna nomnikelo walo wempuphu, impuphu ecolekileyo exovwe namafutha; nelinye iduna uyakulithabatha libe ngumnikelo wesono. 9Uyakuletha amaLevi phambi kwetende lokuhlangana, ubuthe yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, 10ulethe amaLevi phambi kukaJehova; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babeke izandla zabo phezu kwamaLevi, 11u-Aroni azulise amaLevi phambi kukaJehova abe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa ovela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, aze asebenze umsebenzi kaJehova.

12“AmaLevi ayakubeka izandla zawo ezinhloko zezinkunzi, wena unikele ngenye ibe ngumnikelo wesono, enye ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa kuJehova ukwenzela amaLevi ukubuyisana. 13Uyakubeka amaLevi phambi kuka-Aroni naphambi kwamadodana akhe, unikele ngawo abe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa kuJehova. 14Uyakwahlukanisa amaLevi phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, amaLevi abe ngawami.

15“Emva kwalokho amaLevi ayakungena ukwenza inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana; uyakuwahlambulula, unikele ngawo abe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa. 16Ngokuba mina nginikiwe wona phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; esikhundleni sakho konke okuvula isizalo, amazibulo abo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngizithabathele wona. 17Ngokuba onke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli angawami, awabantu nawezilwane; mhla ngishaya amazibulo onke ezweni laseGibithe ngazingcwelisela wona. 18Ngithabathile amaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 19Ngiwanikile amaLevi abe yisipho sika-Aroni nesamadodana akhe esivela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukusebenza umsebenzi wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli etendeni lokuhlangana nokwenzela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukubuyisana, ukuze kungabikho sifo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli besondela endlini engcwele.”

20Benze njalo-ke oMose no-Aroni nayo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kumaLevi; njengakho konke uJehova amyala ngakho uMose ngamaLevi, benze njalo kuwo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 21AmaLevi aziphothula, ahlanza izingubo zawo; u-Aroni wanikela ngawo abe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kukaJehova; u-Aroni wawenzela ukubuyisana ukuwahlambulula. 22Emva kwalokho amaLevi angena ukwenza umsebenzi wawo etendeni lokuhlangana phambi kuka-Aroni naphambi kwamadodana akhe; njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose ngamaLevi, benze njalo-ke kuwo.

23UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 24“Yilokhu okungokwamaLevi: kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu kuya phezulu ayakungena ukugcina umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende lokuhlangana: 25kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu bayakuphuma emsebenzini wenkonzo, bangabe besakhonza; 26kodwa bayakukhonza kanye nabafowabo etendeni lokuhlangana, bagcine imfanelo kepha bangabe besakhonza. Uyakwenze njalo kumaLevi ngezimfanelo zawo.”

Iphasika lasehlane

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose ehlane laseSinayi ngenyanga yokuqala yomnyaka wesibili, sebephumile ezweni laseGibithe, wathi: 2“Futhi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakugcina iphasika ngesikhathi salo esinqunyiweyo. 3Ngosuku lweshumi nane lwaleyo nyanga ngakusihlwa niyakuligcina ngesikhathi salo esinqunyiweyo; ngokwezimiso zalo zonke nangokwemithetho yalo anoligcina.”

4UMose wakhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuthi bolenza iphasika. 5Balenza-ke iphasika ngenyanga yokuqala ngosuku lweshumi nane ngakusihlwa ehlane laseSinayi; njengakho konke uJehova amyala ngakho uMose, benze njalo-ke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

6Kwakukhona amadoda athile ayengcolisiwe yisidumbu somuntu, engenakulenza iphasika ngalolo suku; eza phambi kukaMose naphambi kuka-Aroni ngalowo muhla. 7Lawo madoda athi kuye: “Singcolisiwe yisidumbu somuntu; sivinjelelwani ukunikela ngomnikelo kaJehova ngesikhathi sawo esinqunyiweyo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli na?”

8UMose wathi kuwo: “Yimani ukuba ngizwe ukuthi uJehova uyakuyalani ngani.”

9UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 10“Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Uma umuntu wakini noma owezizukulwane zenu engcoliswa yisidumbu noma esekuhambeni, ekude, uyakulenza nokho iphasika kuJehova; 11ngenyanga yesibili ngosuku lweshumi nane ngakusihlwa bayakulenza; bayakulidla nesinkwa esingenamvubelo nemifino ebabayo; 12abayikushiya lutho kuze kube sekuseni, bangaphuli thambo lalo; ngokwezimiso zonke zephasika bayakulenza. 13Kepha umuntu ohlambulukileyo, engekho ekuhambeni, oyeka ukulenza iphasika, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo, ngokuba akanikelanga ngomnikelo kaJehova ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo; lowo muntu uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

14“ ‘Uma umfokazi egogobele phakathi kwenu, ethanda ukulenza iphasika kuJehova ngokwesimiso sephasika nangokomthetho walo, uyakwenze njalo; niyakuba nesimiso sinye kumfokazi nakowokuzalwa ezweni.’ ”

Ifu elaliphezu kwetabernakele*

15Ngosuku itabernakele* elamiswa ngalo ifu lalisibekela itabernakele, itende lobufakazi; ngakusihlwa laliphezu kwetabernakele njengokubonakala komlilo kwaze kwaba sekuseni. 16Kwakunjalo ngesikhathi sonke: ifu lalisibekela, kwabonakala umlilo ebusuku. 17Nalapho ifu lenyuswa etendeni, base behamba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nasendaweni lapho ifu lalima khona, lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamisa khona. 18Ngesiyalezo sikaJehova abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba, nangesiyalezo sikaJehova bamisa; ngesikhathi ifu lihlala phezu kwetabernakele bahlala ekamu.* 19Nalapho ifu lihlala phezu kwetabernakele izinsuku eziningi, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bagcina isiyalezo sikaJehova, abahambanga. 20Ngesinye isikhathi ifu laliphezu kwetabernakele izinsuku eziyingcosana nje; khona ngesiyalezo sikaJehova bahlala ekamu,* nangesiyalezo sikaJehova bahamba. 21Nangesinye isikhathi ifu lahlala kusihlwa kwaze kwaba sekuseni; nalapho ifu lenyuswa ekuseni, bahamba; noma lahlala ubusuku nemini, bahamba lapho ifu lenyuswa. 22Noma kwakuyizinsuku ezimbili, noma inyanga, noma isikhathi esingakanani ifu lisahlezi phezu kwetabernakele, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlala ekamu,* abahambanga; kepha lapho lenyuswa, bahamba. 23Ngesiyalezo sikaJehova bamisa, nangesiyalezo sikaJehova bahamba; bagcina inkonzo kaJehova ngesiyalezo sikaJehova ngesandla sikaMose.

Amacilongo esiliva

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Uzenzele amacilongo amabili esiliva, uwenze ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, uwasebenzise ekubizeni inhlangano nasekusukeni kwamakamu.* 3Nxa bewabetha, yonke inhlangano iyakubuthana kuwe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana. 4Uma bebetha elilodwa, izikhulu, izinhloko zezinkulungwane zakwa-Israyeli, ziyakubuthana kuwe. 5Nxa nihlaba umkhosi, amakamu* asohlangothini lwasempumalanga ayakusuka. 6Nanxa nihlaba umkhosi ngokwesibili, amakamu* asohlangothini lwaseningizimu ayakusuka; bayakuhlaba umkhosi ekusukeni kwabo. 7Kepha lapho liyakubuthwa ibandla, niyakubetha, ningahlabi umkhosi kodwa.

8“Amadodana ka-Aroni, abapristi, ayakubetha amacilongo; kuyakuba kini isimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu. 9Nxa niphuma impi ezweni lakini ukuyokulwa nesitha esinicindezelayo, khona niyakuhlaba umkhosi ngamacilongo, nikhumbuleke phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nisindiswe ezitheni zenu. 10Nangezinsuku zokuthokoza kwenu, nangemikhosi emisiweyo, nasekwethwaseni kwenyanga niyakubetha amacilongo enu phezu kweminikelo yenu yokushiswa naphezu kwemihlatshelo yeminikelo yenu yokuthula, ibe yisikhumbuzo senu phambi kukaNkulunkulu wenu; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.”

Abakwa-Israyeli basuka eSinayi

11Kwathi ngomnyaka wesibili ngenyanga yesibili ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ifu lenyuswa etabernakele* lobufakazi. 12Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka ehlane laseSinayi amabanga ngamabanga; ifu lema ehlane lasePharanu. 13Ngokokuqala basuka ngokwesiyalezo sikaJehova ngesandla sikaMose.

14Kuqala lasuka ibhanela* lekamu* labantwana bakwaJuda ngamabandla abo; uNaheshoni indodana ka-Aminadaba wayephezu kwalelo bandla. 15Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwa-Isakare kwakunguNethaneli indodana kaSuwari. 16Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwaZebuloni kwakungu-Eliyabe indodana kaHeloni. 17Itabernakele* lasuswa; amadodana kaGereshoni namadodana kaMerari asuka elithwala itabernakele.

18Lase lisuka ibhanela* lekamu* likaRubeni ngamabandla abo; phezu kwalelo bandla kwakungu-Elisuri indodana kaShedewuri. 19Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwaSimeyoni kwakunguShelumiyeli indodana kaSurishadayi. 20Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwaGadi kwakungu-Eliyasafa indodana kaDehuweli. 21Kwase kusuka amaKohati ethwala izinto ezingcwele; itabernakele* lamiswa, wona engakafiki.

22Lase lisuka ibhanela* lekamu* labantwana bakwa-Efrayimi ngamabandla abo; phezu kwebandla lakhe kwakungu-Elishama indodana ka-Amihudi. 23Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwaManase kwakunguGamaliyeli indodana kaPedasuri. 24Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwaBenjamini kwakungu-Abidani indodana kaGideyoni.

25Lase lisuka ibhanela* lekamu* labantwana bakwaDani elalisemva kwawo onke amakamu ngamabandla abo; phezu kwebandla lakhe kwakungu-Ahiyezeri indodana ka-Amishadayi. 26Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwa-Asheri kwakunguPagiyeli indodana ka-Okirani. 27Phezu kwebandla lesizwe sabantwana bakwaNafetali kwakungu-Ahira indodana ka-Enani. 28Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba ngokulandelana kanjalo ngamabandla abo; base besuka-ke.

Ukululekana noHobabi

29UMose wathi kuHobabi indodana kaRehuweli wakwaMidiyani, umukhwe kaMose: “Siya endaweni ashilo ngayo uJehova, wathi: ‘Ngiyakuninika yona.’ Woza wena, uhambe nathi, siyakukwenzela okuhle, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile okuhle ngo-Israyeli.”

30Wathi kuye: “Angiyikuhamba; kepha ngiyakusuka, ngiye ezweni lakithi nasezihlotsheni zami.”

31Kepha wathi: “Ake ungasishiyi; njengokuba uyazi ukuthi siyakumisa kanjani ehlane, uyakuba ngamehlo ethu. 32Kuyakuthi uma uhamba nathi, yebo, kwenzeke ukuthi, noma yikuphi okuhle uJehova asenzela khona, khona lokho uyakukwenzela nawe.”

33Basuka entabeni kaJehova, bahamba ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu; umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova wahamba phambi kwabo ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu ukubafunela indawo yokuphumula. 34Ifu likaJehova laliphezu kwabo emini, lapho besuka ekamu.*

Umkhuleko kaMose

35Kwathi ekusukeni komphongolo uMose washo wathi:

“Vuka, Jehova;

mazihlakazeke izitha zakho;

abakuzondayo mababaleke ebusweni bakho.”

36Ekumeni kwawo wathi:

“Buyela, Jehova,

emindenini eyizinkulungwane zakwa-Israyeli.”

Isibingelelo

1UJuda inceku kaJesu Kristu, umfowabo kaJakobe, kubo ababiziweyo abathandwa kuNkulunkulu uYise nabagcinelwe uJesu Kristu: 2Makwandiswe kini umusa nokuthula nothando.

Abadukisi

3Bathandekayo, njengokuba ngenza inkuthalo yonke ukunilobela ngensindiso esiyihlanganyele sonke, ngacindezeleka ukunilobela ukuba nginivuselele ukulwela inkolo abayinikelwayo abangcwele kwaba kanye. 4Ngokuba sebengenile ngokunyenya abantu abathile okwalotshwa ngabo phambili endulo ukuthi bayakwehlelwa yilokhu kulahlwa, abangamesabi uNkulunkulu, bephendukezela umusa kaNkulunkulu wethu ube ngamanyala, bephika uMbusi oyedwa neNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

5Kepha ngiyathanda ukunikhumbuza, nokuba kade benikwazi konke, ukuthi iNkosi, isisindisile isizwe isikhipha ezweni laseGibithe, yabuye yabhubhisa labo abangakholwanga, 6nezingelosi ezingagcinanga ubukhosi bazo, kodwa zalishiya ikhaya lazo, izigcinele ukulahlwa kosuku olukhulu ngezibopho ezimiyo phansi kobumnyama, 7njengokuba iSodoma neGomora nemizi yangakhona yenza ubufebe ngendlela efana neyayo, yalandela inyama imbe imisiwe ibe yisiboniso, izwa isijeziso somlilo omiyo njalo.

8Nokho ngokunjalo-ke nalabo abaphuphayo bangcolisa inyama, bayeyisa imibuso, bahlambalaza ubukhosi. 9Kepha uMikayeli, ingelosi enkulu, lapho ephikisana noSathane, ekhulumisana naye ngesidumbu sikaMose, akabanga nasibindi sokuletha ukwahlulela kokuhlambalaza, kodwa wathi: “INkosi mayikujezise.” 10Kepha laba bayahlambalaza konke abangakwaziyo, nalokho abakwaziyo ngemvelo njengezidalwa ezingenangqondo babhubha ngakho.

11Maye kubo, ngokuba bahamba endleleni kaKayini, bagijimela ekudukeni kukaBalami ngenxa yomvuzo, babhubha ekuphikeni kukaKora!

12Yilabo abayizisihla emadilini enu othando bedla nani, bengesabi, baziklabisa; bangamafu angenamanzi, aqhutshwa yimimoya; bayimithi yasebusika engenazithelo, efe kabili, isishuliwe; 13bangamaza adlangalalayo olwandle, ekhephuza amahlazo awo, izinkanyezi ezidukayo ezigcinelwe ubumnyama bobumnyama baphakade.

14U-Enoke ongowesikhombisa kusukela ku-Adamu waprofetha ngabo, wathi: “Bheka, iNkosi iyakufika nabangcwele bayo abayizigidigidi, 15ukuze yahlulele bonke, ijezise bonke abangamesabi uNkulunkulu ngenxa yemisebenzi yonke yabo yokungahloniphi uNkulunkulu abadelela ngayo, nangawo onke amazwi alukhuni izoni ezingamesabi uNkulunkulu eziwakhulumile ngaye.” 16Yilabo abakhononayo nabasolayo, behamba ngezinkanuko zabo, umlomo wabo ukhuluma uwangala, betusa ubuso ngenxa yenzuzo.

UJuda ululeka ukuba baqine ekukholweni

17Kepha nina bathandekayo, khumbulani amazwi akhulunywe phambili ngabaphostoli beNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu 18abasho ukuthi ngesikhathi sokugcina kuyakuba khona abahleka usulu, behamba ngezinkanuko zabo zokungamesabi uNkulunkulu. 19Yilabo abaveza ukwahlukana, bengabenyama bengenaMoya.

20Kepha nina bathandekayo, yakhelanani ekukholweni kwenu okungcwele kakhulu, nikhuleke ngoMoya oNgcwele, 21nizigcine othandweni lukaNkulunkulu, nibheke umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, kube ngukuphila okuphakade.

22Abanye, abangabazayo, nibahawukele, 23nibasindise ngokubahlwitha emlilweni, kepha abanye nibahawukele ngokwesaba, nizonde nengubo enindwe yinyama.

24Kepha kuyena onamandla okunilinda ukuba ningakhubeki, nimiswe phambi kwenkazimulo yakhe ningenasici, ninokuthokoza okukhulu, 25kuye uNkulunkulu oyedwa, uMsindisi wethu ngaye uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu, makube ngukukhazimula, nobukhosi, namandla, negunya, kungakabikho izikhathi, namanje nakuze kube phakade. Amen.
