UDuteronomi 31 Umlandeli kaMose: uJoshuwa

¹ UMose wahamba wakhuluma lawa mazwi ku-Israyeli wonke.

² Wathi kubo: “Namuhla ngineminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili; Angisakwazi ukungena nokuphuma; uJehova wathi kimi: “Awuyikuliwela leli Jordani.”

³ UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nguyena oyakuwela phambi kwakho, achithe lezi zizwe phambi kwakho, uzidle; uJoshuwa yena uyakuphuma phambi kwenu, njengalokho eshilo uJehova.

⁴ UJehova uyakwenza kubo njengalokho enzile kuSihoni no-Ogi, amakhosi ama-Amori, nasezweni labo abachitha.

⁵ UJehova uyakuzikhulula phambi kobuso bakho, ukuze nenze kuzo njengemiyalo yonke enginiyale ngayo.

⁶ Qinani, niqine, ningabesabi, ningabesabi; ngoba nguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ohamba lawe; Ngeke akulahle noma akushiye.

⁷ UMose wambiza uJoshuwa, wathi kuye phambi kwamehlo ka-Israyeli wonke: “Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba uyakuhamba nalaba bantu, uye ezweni uJehova alifungela oyise ukubanika lona. Nika; futhi kumelwe ubavumele ukuba balidle njengefa.

⁸ NguJehova ohamba phambi kwakho; uyakuba nawe, akayikukushiya, akayikukushiya; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla.

⁹ UMose wawuloba lo mthetho, wawunika abapristi, amadodana kaLevi, ababethwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, nawo wonke amalunga akwa-Israyeli.

¹⁰ UMose wabayala, wathi: “Njalo ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa ngomkhosi womnyaka wokukhululwa, ngomkhosi wamadokodo,

¹¹ Lapho wonke u-Israyeli efika ukubonakala phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni ayakuyikhetha, kumelwe ufunde lo mthetho phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke ezindlebeni zabo.

¹² Buthani abantu, amadoda, nabesifazane, nabantwana, nomfokazi osemasangweni enu, ukuba bezwe, bafunde, besabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, bagcine ngokucophelela onke amazwi alo mthetho.

¹³ Ukuze abantwana babo, ababengazi lutho, bezwe, bafunde ukumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, zonke izinsuku zisahleli ezweni eniwela iJordani ukulidla.

¹⁴ UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bheka, izinsuku zakho zisondele ukuba ufe; wamemeza uJoshuwa, nimisa etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba ngimyale. OMose noJoshuwa bahamba, babangenisa etendeni lokuhlangana.

¹⁵ UJehova wabonakala etabernakele esensikeni yefu, nensika yefu yema phezu komnyango wetabernakele.

¹⁶ UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Bheka, wena uyakulala koyihlo; lababantu bayakusukuma baphinge nonkulunkulu babafokazi bezwe abaya kulo ukuba bahlale phakathi kwabo, bangilahle, baphule isivumelwano sami engasenza nabo.

¹⁷ Intukuthelo yami iyakubavuthela ngalolo suku, ngibashiye, ngifihle ubuso bami kubo, baqedwe, behlelwe ububi obuningi nezinsizi; ngalokho bayakuthi ngalolo suku: ‘Lokhu okubi akusehlele yini, lokhu uNkulunkulu wethu engekho phakathi kwethu na?

¹⁸ Ngiyakufihla nokubufihla ubuso bami ngalolo suku kukho konke okubi abakwenzileyo ngokuphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu.

¹⁹ Manje zibhaleleni lelihubo, nibafundise abantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ulibeke emlonyeni wabo, ukuze lelihubo libe ngufakazi wami kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²⁰ Ngokuba uma ngibangenisa ezweni engalifungela oyise ngesifungo, elivame ubisi nezinyosi; bayakudla, basuthe, bakhuluphale; bese bephendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonze, bangigcone, bephule isivumelwano Sami.

²¹ “Kuyakuthi lapho ububi obuningi nezinsizi bubehlela, le ngoma ifakaze ngabo, ibe ngufakazi; ngokuba akuyikukhohlakala emilonyeni yezizukulwane zabo; ngoba mina ngiyayazi imicabango yabo abayizulazulayo khathesi, ngingakafiki elizweni engathembisa ngalo ngesifungo.

²² UMose waliloba lelihubo ngalona lolo suku, walifundisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²³ Wayala uJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni, wathi: “Qina, uqine, ngokuba uyakubangenisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni engabathembisa lona ngesifungo, mina ngiyakuba nawe.”

²⁴ Kwathi uMose eseqedile ukubhala amazwi alo mthetho encwadini aze aphela,

²⁵ UMose wayala amaLevi athwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, wathi:

²⁶ Thathani le ncwadi yomthetho, niyibeke eceleni komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ibe khona njengobufakazi ngani.

²⁷ Ngokuba ngiyabazi ubulukhuni bakho nentamo yakho elukhuni; bhekani, ngisekhona nani namuhla nihlubukile kuJehova; Kakhulu kangakanani emva kokufa kwami?

²⁸ Ngibuthele onke amalunga ezizwe zakho nezinceku zakho ukuba ngikhulume lawa mazwi ezindlebeni zabo, ngibize izulu nomhlaba ngokumelene nabo.

²⁹ Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokufa kwami niyozibhubhisa ngokuphelele, futhi niyophambuka endleleni enganiyala ngayo; ububi buyakukwehlela ekupheleni kwezinsuku; ngokuba niyakwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba nimcunule ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu.

³⁰ UMose wawakhuluma amazwi ale ngoma ezindlebeni zayo yonke inhlangano yakwa-Israyeli, yaze yaphela.
