Chapter 16

1 Lonke ibandla loonyana bakaSirayeli landuluka e-Elim, lafika entlango yaseSin, ephakathi kwe-Elim, neSinayi, ngosuku lweshumi elinesihlanu lwenyanga yesibini yokuphuma kwabo ezweni laseYiputa.
2 Labakrokrela ooMoses noAron lonke ibandla loonyana bakaSirayeli entlango apho.
3 Bathi oonyana bakaSirayeli kubo, Akwaba besife sisandla sikaYehova ezweni laseYiputa, xa sasihleli ngasezimbizeni zenyama, sisidla isonka sada sahlutha; ngokuba nisikhuphele kule ntlango, ukuze nisibhubhise sonke esi sikhungu ngendlala.
4 Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Uyabona, ndiya kuninisela isonka sivela ezulwini; baphume abantu, babuthe isabelo semini esilingene imini, ukuze ndibalinge ukuba bohamba ngomyalelo wam, abayi kuhamba ngawo, kusini na.
5 Kothi ngemini yesithandathu, balungise oko bakuzisileyo; koba ngumlinganiselo ophindwe kabini kunoko bathe bakubutha imihla ngemihla.
6 Wathi uMoses noAron koonyana bakaSirayeli bonke, Ngokuhlwa niya kwazi ukuba nguYehova owanikhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa;
7 kusasa niya kububona ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, ekubeni ekuvile ukumkrokrela kwenu uYehova. Thina besingoobani na ukuba nisikrokrele?
8 Wathi uMoses, Niya kububona ekuthini uYehova aninike inyama ngokuhlwa, nidle isonka kusasa, nihluthe; ekubeni uYehova ekuvile ukukrokra kwenu enimkrokrela ngako. Ke thina singoobani na? Anikrokreli thina, nikrokrela uYehova.
9 Wathi uMoses kuAron, Yithi kwibandla lonke loonyana bakaSirayeli, Sondelani phambi koYehova; kuba ukuvile ukukrokra kwenu.
10 Ke kaloku, xa wayethetha uAron kwibandla lonke loonyana bakaSirayeli, bakhangela entlango, nabo ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova bubonakala efini.
11 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, wathi,
12 Ndikuvile ukukrokra koonyana bakaSirayeli. Thetha nabo uthi, Lakutshona ilanga nodla inyama, kusasa nohlutha sisonka; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu.
13 Kwathi ngokuhlwa zenyuka izagwityi, zayigubungela iminquba yonke; kusasa kwabakho umbethe olele ngeenxa zonke eminqubeni.
14 Wenyuka umbethe obulele, nanko kukho phezu komhlaba entlango intwana apha ecolekileyo, ejiyileyo, encinanana njengeqabaka emhlabeni.
15 Bayibona oonyana bakaSirayeli, bathi omnye komnye, Yintoni? Kuba babengazi ukuba yintoni na. Wathi uMoses kubo, Sesi sonka aninika sona uYehova, ukuba sibe kukudla.
16 Le yiloo nto wawisa umthetho ngayo uYehova, wathi, Buthani yona, elowo ngangokudla kwakhe, ihomere ngentloko yomntu, ngokwenani labantu, elowo athabathele abasententeni yakhe.
17 Benjenjalo oonyana bakaSirayeli; babutha omnye kakhulu, omnye kancinane.
18 Balinganisela ngehomere; akagqithisa obuthe kakhulu; akasilela obuthe kancinane; babutha elowo ngangokudla kwakhe.
19 Wathi kubo uMoses, Umntu makangabeki mbeko.
20 Abamphulaphulanga uMoses. Inxenye yayibeka umbeko; yabola, yaba neempethu, yanuka. UMoses waba noburhalarhume kubo.
21 Bayibutha imiso ngemiso, elowo ngangokudla kwakhe; lathi lakufudumala ilanga yanyibilika.
22 Kwathi ngemini yesithandathu, babutha isonka semihla emibini, iihomere ezimbini mntwini mnye. Zangena zonke izikhulu zebandla, zamxelela uMoses.
23 Wathi kuzo, Yiyo loo nto ayithethileyo uYehova, Ngomso luphumlo; yisabatha engcwele kuYehova; yosani enikosayo, phekani enikuphekayo, zibekeleni yonke into eseleyo, igcinwe kude kuse.
24 Bayibeka ke kwada kwasa, njengoko uMoses wabawisela umthetho; ayanuka, akwabakho mpethu kuyo.
25 Wathi uMoses Yidleni namhla; kuba namhla yisabatha kuYehova; namhla aniyi kuyifumana endle.
26 Noyibutha imihla emithandathu; ngomhla wesixhenxe yisabatha; ayi kubakho ngawo.
27 Kuthe ngomhla wesixhenxe, kwaphuma inxenye yabantu, yaya kubutha, ayafumana nto.
28 Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Kuya kuda kube nini na, ningavumi ukuyigcina imithetho yam nemiyalelo yam?
29 Niyabona ke, uYehova uninike isabatha; kungenxa yoko athe ngomhla wesithandathu waninika isonka semihla emibini. Hlalani elowo endaweni yakhe; makungaphumi mntu endaweni yakhe ngomhla wesixhenxe.
30 Baye bephumla ke abantu ngomhla wesixhenxe.
31 Indlu kaSirayeli yathi igama lale nto yimana. Yayinjengembewu yekoriyandire, imhlophe, isongo sayo sinjengezonkana ezinobusi.
32 Wathi uMoses, Nantsi into awise umthetho ngayo uYehova: zalisani ihomere ngayo, igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu, ukuze zisibone isonka endinidlise sona entlango, ekunikhupheni ezweni laseYiputa.
33 Wathi uMoses kuAron, Thabatha isitya sibe sinye, ugalele ihomere kuso sizale yimana, uyibeke phambi koYehova, igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu;
34 igcinwe njengoko uYehova wamwisela uMoses umthetho ngako. Wayibeka uAron phambi kwesingqino, ukuba igcinwe.
35 Bayidla oonyana bakaSirayeli imana iminyaka emashumi mane, bada bafika ezweni elimiweyo; bayidla imana bada bafika emdeni welizwe lakwaKanan
36 Ke ihomere isisahlulo seshumi se-efa.
