Uku­hlu­phe­ka kwa­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li eGi­bhi­the

1La-ke nga­ma­bi­zo ama­do­da­na kaI­sra­ye­li afi­ka eGi­bhi­the lo­Ja­ko­bea; afi­ka, ile­yo la­le­yo lo­mu­zi wa­yo,

2 uRu­be­ni, uSi­me­yo­ni, uLe­vi, lo­Ju­da,

3 uI­sa­ka­ri, uZe­bu­lu­ni, lo­Bhe­nja­mi­ni,

4 uDa­ni, lo­Na­fi­tha­li, uGa­di, loA­she­ri.

5 Nja­lo yo­nke imi­phe­fu­mu­lo eya­phu­ma ekha­lwe­ni lu­ka­Ja­ko­be ya­yi­yi­mi­phe­fu­mu­lo enga­ma­tshu­mi ayi­si­kho­mbi­sab. Ko­dwa uJo­se­fa wa­ye­se­Gi­bhi­the.

6 UJo­se­fa wa­se­si­fac la­bo bo­nke aba­fo­wa­bo, la­le­so­si­zu­ku­lwa­na so­nke.

7 Nja­lo aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ba­za­la­na, ba­ba ba­ne­ngi, ba­nda, ba­ba la­ma­ndla ka­khu­lu­ka­zid, ili­zwe la­ze la­gcwa­li­swa yi­bo.

8 Kwa­se­ku­ve­la inko­si entsha phe­zu kwe­Gi­bhi­the eya­yi­nga­ma­zi uJo­se­fae.

9 Ya­si­si­thi esi­zwe­ni sa­yo: Kha­nge­la, isi­zwe sa­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li si­ne­ngi, fu­thi si­la­ma­ndla ku­la­thif.

10 Wo­za­nig, asi­si­hla­ka­ni­phe­le­nih, hle­zi sa­nde, nja­lo ku­za­ku­thi la­pho ku­se­hla impi, la­so si­hla­nga­ne le­zi­tha ze­thu, si­lwe si­me­le­ne la­thi, se­nyu­ke si­su­ke eli­zwe­ni.

11 Nga­kho ba­mi­sa phe­zu kwa­so izi­ndu­na ze­si­bha­loi uku­si­hlu­pha nge­mi­thwa­lo ya­boj. Nja­lo sa­ma­khe­la uFa­ro imi­zi eyi­zi­pha­lak, iPi­tho­ma le­Ra­me­se­sil.

12 Ko­dwa kwa­thi eku­si­hlu­phe­ni kwa­so kwa­ng'kho­na si­sa­nda, kwa­ng'kho­na si­sa­ba­la­lam. Nga­kho ba­ne­ngwa nga­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­lin.

13 Nja­lo ama­Gi­bhi­the aba­se­be­nzi­sa aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ngo­chu­ku,

14 aze enza impi­lo za­bo za­ba­ba ngo­mse­be­nzi onzi­ma, ngo­da­ka la­nge­zi­ti­na, la­nga­wo wo­nke umse­be­nzi ema­si­mi­ni; ngo­mse­be­nzi wa­bo wo­nke, aba­be­nza ba­we­nza ngo­dla­ke­la.

15 Inko­si ye­Gi­bhi­the ya­si­khu­lu­ma la­ba­be­le­thi­si ama­He­bhe­ru­ka­zi, obi­zo lo­wo­ku­qa­la la­li­ngu­Shi­fi­ra, le­bi­zo lo­we­si­bi­li la­li­ngu­Phu­wa,

16 ya­si­si­thi: Nxa li­be­le­thi­sa ama­He­bhe­ru­ka­zi, la­pho li­ba­bo­na ezi­hla­lwe­ni zo­ku­be­le­tha, uba ku­yi­ndo­da­na, li­yi­bu­la­le; ko­dwa uba ku­yi­ndo­da­ka­zi, iye­ke­le­ni iphi­la.

17 Ko­dwa aba­be­le­thi­si ba­be­me­sa­ba uNku­lu­nku­luo, ka­be­nza­nga nje­nga­lo­kho ya­khu­lu­ma ku­bo inko­si ye­Gi­bhi­thep, ko­dwa ba­ba­ye­ke­la aba­fa­na ba­phi­la.

18 Inko­si ye­Gi­bhi­the ya­si­bi­za aba­be­le­thi­si, ya­thi ku­bo: Li­ye­nze­le­ni li­nto uku­thi li­ye­ke­le aba­fa­na ba­phi­le?

19 Aba­be­le­thi­si ba­se­be­si­thi ku­Fa­ro: Ngo­ba ama­He­bhe­ru­ka­zi ka­wa­nje­nga­ba­fa­zi ba­ma­Gi­bhi­the; ngo­ba ala­ma­ndla, umbe­le­thi­si enga­ka­fi­ki ku­wo, ase­be­le­thi­le.

20 Nga­lo­khu uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­be­nze­la aba­be­le­thi­si oku­hleq, la­ba­ntu ba­nda, ba­ba la­ma­ndla ka­khu­lu.

21 Kwa­se­ku­si­thi, ngo­ba aba­be­le­thi­si ba­me­sa­ba uNku­lu­nku­lu, wa­ba­khe­la imi­zir.

22 UFa­ro wa­se­la­ya isi­zwe sa­khe so­nke esi­thi: Yo­nke indo­da­na eza­lwa­yo li­yi­pho­se­le emfu­le­nis, ko­dwa yo­nke indo­da­ka­zi li­yi­ye­ke­le iphi­le.

Uku­za­lwa ku­ka­Mo­zi­si

2Kwa­se­ku­su­ka indo­da ye­ndlu ya­ko­Le­vi, ya­tha­tha indo­da­ka­zi ya­ko­Le­via.

2 Owe­si­fa­za­na wa­se­tha­tha isi­su, wa­za­la indo­da­na; ese­yi­bo­ni­le uku­thi inhle, wa­yi­fi­hla inya­nga ezi­nta­thub.

3 Kwa­thi enga­se­la­ku­yi­fi­hla wa­yi­tha­the­la isi­tsha se­mi­zic, wa­si­bha­da nge­ngci­no la­nge­tha­ra, wa­fa­ka umntwa­na ku­so, wa­si­be­ka emi­hla­nge­ni ekhu­nji­ni lo­mfu­lad.

4 Uda­de­wa­boe wa­se­zi­mi­sa kha­tsha­na uku­ze azi oku­za­kwe­nzi­wa ku­ye.

5 Kwa­se­ku­se­hla indo­da­ka­zi ka­Fa­ro ukuya­ge­za emfu­le­ni; la­ma­nto­mba­za­na ayo aha­mba ece­le­ni ko­mfu­la. Isi­bo­ni­le isi­tsha pha­ka­thi kwe­mi­hla­nga, ya­thu­ma ince­ku­ka­zi ya­yo ya­si­tha­thaf.

6 Kwa­thi isi­vu­la, ya­bo­na umntwa­na, kha­nge­la-ke, umfa­nya­na wa­kha­la inye­mbe­zi. Ya­si­mha­wu­ke­la ya­thi: Lo ngo­mu­nye wa­ba­fa­na ba­ma­He­bhe­ru.

7 Uda­de­wa­bo wa­se­si­thi endo­da­ka­zi­ni ka­Fa­ro: Ngi­ha­mbe yi­ni ngi­ye­ku­bi­ze­la umfa­zi omu­nyi­sa­yo ku­ma­He­bhe­ru­ka­zi uku­ze aku­mu­nyi­se­le umfa­na?

8 Indo­da­ka­zi ka­Fa­ro ya­si­si­thi ku­ye: Ha­mba. Into­mbi ya­si­ha­mba, ya­bi­za uni­na wo­mfa­na.

9 Indo­da­ka­zi ka­Fa­ro ya­si­si­thi ku­ye: Tha­tha uha­mbe la­lo umntwa­na, ungi­mu­nyi­se­le ye­na; nja­lo mi­na ngi­za­ku­pha iho­lo la­kho. Owe­si­fa­za­na wa­se­mtha­tha umntwa­na, wa­mmu­nyi­sa.

10 Umfa­na ese­khu­li­le, wa­mle­tha endo­da­ka­zi­ni ka­Fa­ro, wa­se­si­ba yi­ndo­da­na ya­yog. Ya­si­si­tha ibi­zo la­yo ya­thi ngu­Mo­zi­si1, ya­thi: Ngo­ba nga­mkhu­pha ema­nzi­ni.

Uku­ba­le­ka ku­ka­Mo­zi­si

11 Kwa­se­ku­si­thi nga­le­zo­nsu­ku, uMo­zi­si ese­khu­li­le, wa­phu­ma wa­ya ku­ba­fo­wa­boh, wa­kha­nge­la imi­thwa­lo ya­boi; fu­thi wa­bo­na umGi­bhi­the etsha­ya umHe­bhe­ru ku­ba­fo­wa­bo.

12 Wa­tha­la­za nga­pha la­nga­pha; ese­bo­ni­le uku­thi ka­ku­la­mu­ntu, wa­mtsha­ya umGi­bhi­the, wa­mfi­hla etshe­be­tshe­be­ni.

13 Wa­phu­ma la­ngo­su­ku lwe­si­bi­li, kha­nge­la-ke, ama­He­bhe­ru ama­bi­li esi­lwa; wa­se­si­thi ko­wo­ni­le­yo: Umtsha­ye­la­ni uma­khe­lwa­ne wa­khoj?

14 Wa­se­si­thi: Ngu­ba­ni oku­be­ke ube yi­si­pha­tha­ma­ndla2 lo­ma­hlu­le­li phe­zu kwe­thu? We­na uzi­mi­se­le uku­ngi­bu­la­la yi­ni nje­nga­lo­kho ubu­le­le umGi­bhi­the? UMo­zi­si wa­se­se­sa­ba wa­thi: Isi­bi­li uda­ba lu­ya­zi­wa.

15 Kwa­thi uFa­ro ese­lu­zwi­le uda­ba, wa­di­nga uku­mbu­la­la uMo­zi­si. Ko­dwa uMo­zi­si wa­ba­le­ke­la ubu­so bu­ka­Fa­rok, wa­hla­la eli­zwe­ni le­Mi­di­ya­ni; wa­hla­la emtho­nje­nil.

16 Nja­lo umpri­sti we­Mi­di­ya­ni wa­ye­la­ma­do­da­ka­zi ayi­si­kho­mbi­sa; ezam uku­khan, agcwa­li­sa imi­ko­loo uku­na­thi­sa umhla­mbi ka­yi­se.

17 Kwa­se­ku­fi­ka abe­lu­si, ba­wa­xo­tsha; ko­dwa uMo­zi­si wa­su­ku­ma, wa­wa­si­za wa­na­thi­sa umhla­mbi wa­wop.

18 La­pho efi­ka ku­Re­hu­we­liq uyi­se, wa­thi: Ku­nga­ni li­bu­ye ma­si­nya­ne ka­nga­ka la­mu­hla?

19 Ase­si­thi: Indo­da engu­mGi­bhi­the iso­phu­li­le esa­ndle­ni sa­be­lu­si; fu­thi ya­si­khe­la lo­ku­si­khe­la, ya­na­thi­sa umhla­mbi.

20 Wa­se­si­thi ema­do­da­ka­zi­ni akhe: Ka­mbe inga­phi? Ka­nti li­yi­tshi­ye­le­ni indo­da? Ibi­ze­ni, uku­ze idle isi­nkwar.

21 UMo­zi­si wa­se­vu­ma uku­hla­la le­ndo­da; wa­se­mni­ka uMo­zi­si uZi­po­ra indo­da­ka­zi ya­khes.

22 Wa­se­za­la indo­da­na; wa­yi­tha ibi­zo la­yo uGe­re­sho­ma3, ngo­ba wa­thi: Nga­ngi­ngo­we­mzi­ni eli­zwe­ni le­mzi­ni.

23 Kwa­se­ku­si­thi emva kwa­le­zi­nsu­ku ezi­ne­ngit, inko­si ye­Gi­bhi­the ya­fa. La­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ba­bu­bu­la nge­nxa yo­bu­gqi­liu, ba­kha­la; lo­ku­kha­la kwa­bo kwe­nyu­ke­la ku­Nku­lu­nku­lu nge­nxa yo­bu­gqi­liv.

24 UNku­lu­nku­lu wa­se­si­zwa uku­bu­bu­la kwa­bow, uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­khu­mbu­la isi­vu­me­lwa­nox sa­khe loA­bra­ha­ma, loI­sa­ka, nja­lo lo­Ja­ko­bey.

25 UNku­lu­nku­lu wa­se­bo­na aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­liz, uNku­lu­nku­lu waba­zia.

Uku­bi­zwa ku­ka­Mo­zi­si

3UMo­zi­si wa­ye­se­lu­sa-ke umhla­mbi ka­Je­tro uyi­se­za­la, umpri­sti we­Mi­di­ya­ni; wa­qhu­ba umhla­mbi wa­ya nga­pha­mbi­li kwe­nka­nga­laa wa­ze wa­fi­ka enta­be­ni ka­Nku­lu­nku­lub, eHo­re­be.

2 Nja­lo ingi­lo­si ye­Nko­si ya­bo­na­ka­la ku­yec ela­nga­bi­ni lo­mli­lo li­phu­ma pha­ka­thi kwe­si­hla­hlad; wa­se­bo­na, kha­nge­la-ke, isi­hla­hla si­vu­tha umli­lo, ko­dwa isi­hla­hla sa­si­nga­phe­li.

3 UMo­zi­si wa­se­si­thi: Ngi­za­pha­mbu­ka-ke ngi­bo­ne lo umbo­no omkhu­lu, uku­thi ku­nga­ni isi­hla­hla si­nga­tshi.

4 Kwa­thi iNko­si isi­bo­ni­le uku­thi upha­mbu­ki­le uku­ya­bo­na, uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­mbi­za epha­ka­thi kwe­si­hla­hla, wa­thi: Mo­zi­si, Mo­zi­si! Wa­se­si­thi: Kha­nge­la ngila­pha.

5 Wa­se­si­thi: Unga­so­nde­li la­pha; khu­pha ama­nya­the­la akho enya­we­ni za­kho, ngo­ba inda­wo omi ku­yo ingu­mhla­ba­thi ongcwe­lee.

9 Kha­the­si-ke, kha­nge­la, uku­kha­la kwa­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li se­ku­fi­ki­le ki­mio; nja­lo la­mi ngi­bo­ni­le uci­nde­ze­lo ama­Gi­bhi­the aba­ci­nde­ze­la nga­lo.

10 Kha­the­si-ke, wo­za, ngi­za­ku­thu­ma ku­Fa­ro uku­ze ukhu­phe isi­zwe sa­mi, aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li, eGi­bhi­the.

11 Ko­dwa uMo­zi­si wa­thi ku­Nku­lu­nku­lu: Ngi­ngu­ba­ni mi­nap uku­thi ngi­ye ku­Fa­ro, lo­ku­thi ngi­khu­phe aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li eGi­bhi­the?

12 Wa­se­si­thi: Isi­bi­li ngi­za­ku­ba la­weq; la­lo­khu ku­za­ku­ba yi­si­bo­na­ka­li­so ku­we so­ku­thi mi­na ngi­ku­thu­mi­le; la­pho usu­si­khu­phi­le isi­zwe eGi­bhi­the, li­za­mkho­nza uNku­lu­nku­lu ku­li­nta­bar.

13 UMo­zi­si wa­se­si­thi ku­Nku­lu­nku­lu: Kha­nge­la, nxa ngi­fi­ka ku­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ngi­si­thi ku­bo: UNku­lu­nku­lu wa­bo­yi­hlo ungi­thu­mi­le ki­ni; ba­za­ku­thi ki­mi: Ungu­ba­ni ibi­zo la­khe? Ngi­za­thi­ni ku­bo?

14 UNku­lu­nku­lu wa­se­si­thi ku­Mo­zi­si: NGI­NGU­YE ENGI­NGU­YE. Wa­thi fu­thi: Uza­ku­tsho nja­lo ku­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li uku­thi: UNGI­NGU­YEs ungi­thu­mi­le ki­ni.

15 UNku­lu­nku­lu wa­se­si­thi nja­lo ku­Mo­zi­si: Uza­ku­tsho nja­lo ku­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li uku­thi: INko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­bo­yi­hlo, uNku­lu­nku­lu kaA­bra­ha­ma, uNku­lu­nku­lu kaI­sa­ka, lo­Nku­lu­nku­lu ka­Ja­ko­bet ungi­thu­mi­le ki­ni; le­li li­bi­zo la­mi ku­ze ku­be ni­ni­ni­niu, nja­lo le­si yi­si­khu­mbu­zo sa­mi ku­si­zu­ku­lwa­na ku­si­ya ku­si­zu­ku­lwa­na.

16 Ha­mba, ubu­tha­ni­se aba­da­la ba­koI­sra­ye­liv, uthi ku­bo: INko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­bo­yi­hlo ibo­na­ke­le ki­mi, uNku­lu­nku­lu kaA­bra­ha­ma, kaI­sa­ka, lo­ka­Ja­ko­be, isi­thi: Ngo­ku­li­ha­mbe­la ngi­li­ha­mbe­lew, la­lo­kho eli­kwe­nzi­we eGi­bhi­the;

6 Si­za­gcwa­li­sa izi­ndlu za­kho le­zi­ndlu ze­zi­nce­ku za­kho zo­nke le­zi­ndlu za­wo wo­nke ama­Gi­bhi­thef, oyi­hlo aba­nga­za­nga ba­si­bo­ne la­bo­yi­se ba­bo­yi­hlo, ku­su­ke­la ngo­su­ku aba­ba­kho­na emhla­be­ni ku­ze ku­be la­mu­hla. Wa­se­tshi­bi­li­ka, wa­phu­ma ku­Fa­ro.

7 Le­nce­ku zi­ka­Fa­ro za­thi ku­ye: Ko­ze ku­be ni­ni lo esi­ba ngu­mji­bi­la ki­thig? Ye­ke­la ama­do­da aha­mbe, akho­nze iNko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­wo; ka­wu­ka­zi yi­ni uku­thi iGi­bhi­the isi­chi­the­ki­le?

8 UMo­zi­si loA­ro­ni ba­bu­yi­se­lwa ku­Fa­ro; wa­se­si­thi ku­bo: Ha­mba­ni li­kho­nze iNko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu we­nu. Ngo­ba­ni ka­nye la­bo aba­za­ha­mba?

9 UMo­zi­si wa­se­si­thi: Si­za­ha­mba la­ba­tsha be­thu la­ba­da­la be­thu, la­ma­do­da­na ethu la­ma­do­da­ka­zi ethu, le­zi­mvu ze­thu le­nko­mo ze­thu si­za­ha­mba, ngo­ba si­lo­mkho­si we­Nko­si.

10 Wa­se­si­thi ku­bo: INko­si ibe la­ni ngo­ku­nja­loh, nje­ngo­ba ngi­za­li­ye­ke­la li­ha­mbe la­ba­ntwa­nya­na be­nu! Bo­na­ni ngo­ba ku­lo­ku­bi pha­mbi kwe­nu.

11 Ku­nga­bi nja­lo! Ha­mba­ni kha­the­si, ma­do­da, li­yi­kho­nze iNko­si, ngo­ba yi­kho eli­ku­di­nga­yo. Ba­se­be­ba­xo­tsha ebu­swe­ni bu­ka­Fa­ro.

12 INko­si ya­si­si­thi ku­Mo­zi­si: Ye­lu­la isa­ndla sa­kho phe­zu kwe­li­zwe le­Gi­bhi­thei, nge­nxa ye­si­kho­nya­ne, uku­ze se­nyu­ke­le phe­zu kwe­li­zwe le­Gi­bhi­the, si­dle wo­nke umbhi­da we­li­zwe la­kho ko­nke isi­qho­tho esi­ku­tshi­yi­le­yoj.

13 UMo­zi­si wa­se­ye­lu­la into­nga ya­khe phe­zu kwe­li­zwe le­Gi­bhi­the; iNko­si ya­si­qhu­ba umo­ya we­mpu­ma­la­nga eli­zwe­ni, lo­nke lo­lo­su­ku lo­bu­su­ku bo­nke; kwa­se­ku­si­thi eku­se­ni, umo­ya we­mpu­ma­la­nga we­nyu­sa isi­kho­nya­ne.

24 UFa­ro wa­se­mbi­za uMo­zi­si wa­thi: Ha­mba­ni li­kho­nze iNko­siv, ku­phe­la izi­mvu ze­nu le­nko­mo ze­nu ku­za­gci­nwa, la­ba­ntwa­nya­na be­nu ba­za­ha­mba la­niw.

25 Ko­dwa uMo­zi­si wa­thi: La­we ubo­ni­ka imi­hla­tshe­lo le­mi­ni­ke­lo yo­ku­tshi­swa eza­ndle­ni ze­thu, esi­za­ye­nze­la iNko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu we­thu.

26 Nja­lo le­zi­fu­yo ze­thu zi­za­ha­mba ka­nye la­thi, ka­ku­yi­ku­sa­la emu­va iso­ndo; ngo­ba si­za­tha­tha ku­zo uku­kho­nza iNko­si uNku­lu­nku­lu we­thu, ngo­ba ka­si­kwa­zi esi­za­kho­nza nga­kho iNko­si si­ze si­fi­ke kho­na.

27 Ko­dwa iNko­si ye­nza lu­khu­ni inhli­zi­yo ka­Fa­rox, nja­lo ka­fu­na­nga uku­ba­ye­ke­la ba­ha­mbe.

28 UFa­ro wa­se­si­thi ku­ye: Su­ka ki­mi, uzi­qa­phe­le, unga­bo­ni ubu­so ba­mi fu­thi; ngo­ba mhla ubo­na ubu­so ba­mi uza­ku­fa.

29 UMo­zi­si wa­se­si­thi: Ukhu­lu­me ngo­ku­qo­nda, ka­ngi­sa­yi­ku­bo­na fu­thi ubu­so ba­khoy.

Uku­xwa­yi­sa nge­nhlu­phe­ko ye­tshu­mi: Uku­fa kwa­ma­zi­bu­lo

11INko­si ya­si­si­thi ku­Mo­zi­si: Ngi­se­za­kwe­hli­se­la ku­Fa­ro la­ku­lo iGi­bhi­the inhlu­phe­ko eyo­dwaa; emva kwa­lo­kho uza­li­ye­ke­la li­ha­mbe li­su­ke la­pha; eku­li­ye­ke­le­ni kwa­khe li­ha­mbe uza­li­xo­tsha lo­ku­li­xo­tsha li­su­ka la­pha ngo­ku­phe­le­le­yob.

2 Ake ukhu­lu­me endle­be­ni za­ba­ntu, uku­thi ba­ce­le, ngu­lo­wo ku­ma­khe­lwa­ne wa­khe, la­lo­wo owe­si­fa­za­na ku­ma­khe­lwa­ne wa­khe, izi­nto ze­si­li­va le­zi­nto ze­go­li­dec.

3 INko­si ya­si­ni­ka aba­ntu umu­sa eme­hlwe­ni ama­Gi­bhi­thed. Fu­thi indo­da uMo­zi­si wa­ba mkhu­lu ka­khu­lu eli­zwe­ni le­Gi­bhi­the eme­hlwe­ni ence­ku zi­ka­Fa­ro le­me­hlwe­ni esi­zwe.

4 UMo­zi­si wa­se­si­thi: Itsho nja­lo iNko­si ithi: Pho­se pha­ka­thi ko­bu­su­ku ngi­za­phu­ma ngi­ye pha­ka­thi kwe­Gi­bhi­thee;

5 La­wo wo­nke ama­zi­bu­lo eli­zwe­ni le­Gi­bhi­the aza­ku­fa, ku­su­ke­la ku­zi­bu­lo li­ka­Fa­ro eli­za­hla­la esi­hla­lwe­ni sa­khe so­bu­kho­si, ku­ze ku­be ku­zi­bu­lo le­nce­ku­ka­zi enge­mva kwe­li­tshe lo­ku­cho­la, la­ma­zi­bu­lo wo­nke ezi­fu­yof.

7 Ko­dwa eba­ntwa­ne­ni ba­koI­sra­ye­li inja ka­yi­yi­ku­nyi­ki­nya uli­mi lwa­yoh, ku­su­ke­la emu­ntwi­ni ku­si­ya ezi­fu­ywe­ni, uku­ze la­zi uku­thi iNko­si iye­hlu­ka­ni­sa pha­ka­thi kwe­Gi­bhi­the loI­sra­ye­lii.

8 La­zo zo­nke izi­nce­ku za­kho le­zi zi­za­kwe­hle­la ki­mi, zi­ngi­kho­tha­me­le zi­si­thi: Phu­ma we­na le­si­zwe so­nke esi­ku­la­nde­la­yo. La­nge­mva kwa­lo­kho ngi­za­phu­maj. Wa­se­phu­ma ku­Fa­ro eku­vu­the­ni ko­la­ka.

9 INko­si ya­si­si­thi ku­Mo­zi­si: UFa­ro ka­yi­ku­li­zwak, uku­ze za­nde izi­ma­nga­li­so za­mi eli­zwe­ni le­Gi­bhi­thel.

10 OMo­zi­si loA­ro­ni ba­se­be­se­nza zo­nke le­zi­zi­ma­nga­li­so pha­mbi ku­ka­Fa­ro, ko­dwa iNko­si ye­nza inhli­zi­yo ka­Fa­ro ya­ba lu­khu­ni, ka­za­ba­ye­ke­la aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ba­phu­me eli­zwe­ni la­khem.

Uku­mi­swa ko­mkho­si we­pha­si­ka

12INko­si ya­si­khu­lu­ma ku­Mo­zi­si la­kuA­ro­ni eli­zwe­ni le­Gi­bhi­the, isi­thi:

2 Le inya­nga ka­yi­be ki­ni yi­nhlo­ko ye­zi­nya­nga, ibe ki­ni nge­yo­ku­qa­la ye­nya­nga zo­mnya­kaa.

3 Khu­lu­ma­ni ku­nhla­nga­no yo­nke ya­koI­sra­ye­li li­thi: Ngo­lwe­tshu­mi lwa­li­nya­nga ba­za­zi­tha­the­la ngu­lo­wo iwu­ndlu, ngo­kwe­zi­ndlu za­bo­yi­se, iwu­ndlu nge­ndlu.

4 Uba-ke indlu inci­nya­ne ka­khu­lu ewu­ndlwi­ni, ka­ku­thi ye­na atha­the lo­ma­khe­lwa­ne wa­khe, ose­du­ze le­ndlu ya­khe, nje­ngo­bu­ne­ngi be­mi­phe­fu­mu­lo; ngu­lo­wo nje­ngo­ku­dla kwa­khe, li­za­ba­le­la iwu­ndlu.

5 Li­za­ku­ba le­zi­nya­ne eli­nge­la­si­ci, eli­du­na, eli­lo­mnya­ka owo­dwab; li­tha­the­ni ezi­mvi­ni lo­ba ezi­mbu­zi­ni.

6 Nja­lo li­za­li­gci­na ku­ze ku­fi­ke usu­ku lwe­tshu­mi la­ne lwa­le­yo­nya­ngac, nja­lo iba­ndla lo­nke le­nhla­nga­no ya­koI­sra­ye­li iza­li­hla­ba ku­si­hlwa.

7 Ba­za­tha­tha-ke okwe­ga­zi, ba­ku­fa­ke emi­gu­ba­zi­ni yo­mi­bi­li le­kho­tha­me­ni, ezi­ndli­ni aba­za­li­dle­la ku­zo.

8 Nja­lo ba­za­ku­dla inya­ma nga­lo­bo­bu­su­ku, yo­si­we ngo­mli­lo, le­si­nkwa esi­nge­la­mvu­be­lod, le­mi­bhi­da eba­ba­yo ba­zayi­dla.

9 Li­nga­dli okwa­lo ku­lu­hla­za ku­mbe ku­phe­ki­we lo­ku­phe­kwa nga­ma­nzie, ko­dwa yo­si­we ngo­mli­lo; inhlo­ko ya­lo le­mi­le­nze ya­lo, ka­nye le­mi­bi­li­ni ya­lof.

10 Nja­lo li­nga­tshi­yi lu­tho ku­lo ku­ze ku­be se­ku­se­nig, ko­dwa oku­sa­la­yo ku­lo ku­ze ku­be se­ku­se­ni li­za­ku­tshi­sa ngo­mli­lo.

11 Ngo­ku­nja­lo-ke li­za­li­dla, inka­lo ze­nu zi­bo­tshi­we, izi­ca­thu­lo ze­nu zi­se­nya­we­ni ze­nu, le­ndo­ndo­lo ze­nu zi­se­za­ndle­ni ze­nu; li­za­li­dla ngo­ku­pha­ngi­sa; ku­li­pha­si­ka le­Nko­sih.

12 Ngo­ba ngi­za­da­bu­la pha­ka­thi kwe­li­zwe le­Gi­bhi­the nga­lo­bu­bu­su­kui, ngi­tsha­ye wo­nke ama­zi­bu­lo eli­zwe­ni le­Gi­bhi­the, ku­su­ke­la emu­ntwi­ni ku­si­ya enya­ma­za­ne­ni, ngi­za­kwe­nza izi­gwe­bo ku­bo bo­nke onku­lu­nku­lu be­Gi­bhi­the; mi­na ngi­yi­Nko­sij.

13 Le­ga­zi li­za­ku­ba ki­ni yi­si­bo­na­ka­li­so ezi­ndli­ni la­pho eli­kho­na; nxa ngi­bo­na iga­zi ngi­za­dlu­la phe­zu kwe­nu, nja­lo ku­nge­hle­li ki­ni inhlu­phe­ko yo­ku­chi­tha, mhla ngi­tsha­ya ili­zwe le­Gi­bhi­the.

14 Nja­lo lo­lu­su­ku lu­za­ku­ba ki­ni yi­si­khu­mbu­zok; nja­lo li­za­lu­gci­na lu­be ngu­mkho­si eNko­si­ni; li­za­lu­gci­na ezi­zu­ku­lwa­ne­ni ze­nu ngo­ko­mthe­tho wa­ni­ni­ni­nil.

15 Insu­ku ezi­yi­si­kho­mbi­sa li­za­ku­dla isi­nkwa esi­nge­la­mvu­be­lom. Ye­bo ngo­su­ku lo­ku­qa­la li­za­khu­pha imvu­be­lo ezi­ndli­ni ze­nu; ngo­ba wo­nke odla oku­vu­tshe­lwe­yo ku­su­ke­la ku­su­ku lo­ku­qa­la ku­ze ku­fi­ke usu­ku lwe­si­kho­mbi­sa, lo­wo­mphe­fu­mu­lo uza­qu­nywa usu­ke koI­sra­ye­lin.

16 Nja­lo ngo­su­ku lo­ku­qa­la ku­za­ku­ba kho­na inhla­nga­no ebi­zi­we­yo engcwe­leo, la­ngo­su­ku lwe­si­kho­mbi­sa li­za­ku­ba le­nhla­nga­no ebi­zi­we­yo engcwe­le; ku­nge­nzi­wa mse­be­nzi nga­zo, ku­phe­la lo­kho wo­nke umphe­fu­mu­lo oku­dla­yo, lo­kho ko­dwa ku­nge­nzi­wa yi­ni.

18 Kwe­yo­ku­qa­la, osu­kwi­ni lwe­tshu­mi la­ne lwe­nya­nga ku­si­hlwa li­za­ku­dla isi­nkwa esi­nge­la­mvu­be­lo, ku­ze ku­fi­ke usu­ku lwa­ma­tshu­mi ama­bi­li la­nye lwe­nya­nga ku­si­hlwa.

19 Insu­ku ezi­yi­si­kho­mbi­sa ka­ku­nga­fi­cwa imvu­be­lo ezi­ndli­ni ze­nu; ngo­ba wo­nke odla oku­vu­tshe­lwe­yo lo­wo­mphe­fu­mu­lo uza­qu­nywa usu­ke ku­nhla­nga­no ya­koI­sra­ye­li, lo­ba engo­we­mzi­ni lo­ba engo­wo­ku­za­lwa eli­zwe­ni.

20 Li­nga­dli lu­tho olu­vu­tshe­lwe­yo; emi­zi­ni ye­nu yo­nke li­za­ku­dla isi­nkwa esi­nge­la­mvu­be­lo.

21 UMo­zi­si wa­se­bi­za bo­nke aba­da­la ba­koI­sra­ye­li, wa­thi ku­bo: Hu­du­la­ni li­zi­tha­the­le ama­wu­ndlu ngo­kwe­nsa­pho ze­nur, li­hla­be ipha­si­ka,

22 li­tha­the ili­xha le­hi­so­pe*s, li­li­gxa­mu­ze ega­zi­ni eli­se­mga­nwi­nit, li­ni­nde ekho­tha­me­ni le­mi­gu­ba­zi­ni emi­bi­liu nge­ga­zi eli­se­mga­nwi­ni; li­na-ke, ka­ku­nga­phu­mi mu­ntu endli­ni ya­khe ku­ze ku­be se­ku­se­ni.

23 Ngo­ba iNko­si iza­da­bu­la uku­tsha­ya ama­Gi­bhi­the; nxa ibo­na iga­zi ekho­tha­me­ni le­mi­gu­ba­zi­ni yo­mi­bi­li, iNko­si iza­dlu­la phe­zu ko­mnya­ngo, inga­vu­me­li umchi­thi uku­thi ange­ne ezi­ndli­ni ze­nu uku­tsha­ya.

24 Nja­lo li­za­gci­na le into, ku­be yi­si­mi­so ki­ni la­ku­ba­ntwa­na be­nu ku­ze ku­be pha­ka­de.

25 Nja­lo ku­za­ku­thi la­pho li­fi­ka eli­zwe­ni iNko­si eza­li­ni­ka lo­na nje­ngo­ku­khu­lu­ma kwa­yov, li­za­gci­na li­nko­nzo.

26 Ku­za­ku­thi-ke la­pho aba­ntwa­na be­nu be­si­thi ki­niw: Iyi­ni li­nko­nzo eli­la­yo?

27 Li­za­ku­thi-ke: Lo ngu­mhla­tshe­lo we­pha­si­ka le­Nko­six, eye­dlu­la phe­zu kwe­zi­ndlu za­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li eGi­bhi­the mhla itsha­ya ama­Gi­bhi­the, wo­phu­la izi­ndlu ze­thu. Nja­lo aba­ntu ba­kho­tha­ma ba­kho­nzay.

28 Aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ba­se­be­ha­mba, ba­ya­kwe­nza nje­nga­lo­khu iNko­si ya­yi­ba­la­yi­le oMo­zi­si loA­ro­ni, be­nza nja­lo.

Uku­bu­la­wa kwa­ma­zi­bu­lo ama­Gi­bhi­the

29 Kwa­se­ku­si­thi pha­ka­thi ko­bu­su­kuz iNko­si ya­tsha­ya wo­nke ama­zi­bu­lo eli­zwe­ni le­Gi­bhi­thea, ku­su­ke­la ku­zi­bu­lo li­ka­Fa­ro ela­li­za­hla­la esi­hla­lwe­ni sa­khe so­bu­kho­si ku­ze ku­be ku­zi­bu­lo le­si­bo­tshwa esa­si­se­nto­lo­ngwe­ni, la­ma­zi­bu­lo wo­nke ezi­fu­yob.

30 UFa­ro wa­se­su­ku­ma ebu­su­ku, ye­na le­nce­ku za­khe zo­nke la­ma­Gi­bhi­the wo­nke. Kwa­se­ku­si­ba kho­na isi­li­lo esi­khu­lu eGi­bhi­thec, ngo­ba kwa­ku­nge­kho ndlu la­pho okwa­ku­nge­la­mu­fi kho­na.

31 Wa­se­bi­za oMo­zi­si loA­ro­ni ebu­su­ku, wa­thi: Su­ku­ma­ni, li­phu­me pha­ka­thi kwa­ba­ntu ba­mi, lo­nke li­na la­ba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li, li­ha­mbe li­ye­kho­nza iNko­si nje­ngo­ku­tsho kwe­nud.

32 Tha­tha­ni la­ni izi­mvu ze­nu le­nko­mo ze­nu nje­ngo­ku­tsho kwe­nue, li­ha­mbe; fu­thi li­ngi­bu­si­se la­mi.

33 Nja­lo ama­Gi­bhi­the aye­ba­khu­tha­za aba­ntu eba­ha­lu­ze­li­sa uku­thi ba­phu­me eli­zwe­nif, ngo­ba athi: So­nke si­fi­le.

34 Aba­ntu-ke ba­tha­tha inhla­ma ya­bo inga­ka­vu­tshe­lwa, be­tsha­ta imi­ga­nu ya­bo yo­ku­xo­ve­la ibo­tshe­lwe eze­mba­thwe­ni za­bo.

35 Aba­ntwa­na ba­koI­sra­ye­li ba­se­be­se­nza nje­nge­li­zwi li­ka­Mo­zi­si; ba­ce­la ku­ma­Gi­bhi­the izi­nto ze­si­li­va le­zi­nto ze­go­li­de le­zi­gqo­kog.

36 INko­si ya­si­ba­pha aba­ntu umu­sa eme­hlwe­ni ama­Gi­bhi­theh, aze aba­ni­ka izi­ce­lo za­bo. Ba­se­be­wa­phu­ndla ama­Gi­bhi­thei.

AmaI­sra­ye­li asu­ka eGi­bhi­the
