UDuteronomi 9

¹ Zwana, Israyeli, uyakudabula iJordani namuhla ukungena ukudla izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe, imizi emikhulu ebiyelweyo kuze kufike ezulwini;

² abantu abakhulu nabade, abantwana bama-Enaki obaziyo, ozwile ukuthi: Ngubani ongema phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Enaki?

³ Yazi-ke namuhla ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nguye odlula phambi kwakho; njengomlilo oqothulayo uyakubaqeda, abawise phambi kwakho; khona-ke kumelwe ubaxoshe futhi ubabhubhise ngokushesha, njengoba nje uJehova ekhulumile kini.

⁴ Ungakhulumi enhliziyweni yakho emva kokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ebaxoshile phambi kwakho ngokuthi: ‘Ngenxa yokulunga kwami uJehova wangingenisa ukuba ngilidle leli zwe, kodwa ngenxa yobubi balezi zizwe uJehova waziletha. Ngaphandle kwakho.

⁵ Akungenxa yokulunga kwakho noma ngenxa yobuqotho benhliziyo yakho ukuthi uyakudla ifa lezwe labo; kepha ngenxa yobubi balezi zizwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuzixosha phambi kwakho, agcwalise izwi uJehova alifungela oyihlo o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe.

⁶ Yazi-ke ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akakuniki leli zwe elihle ukuba ulidle ngenxa yokulunga kwakho; ngoba ningabantu abanenkani.

Izono zabantu

⁷ Khumbula, ungakhohlwa ukuthi wamthukuthelisa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ehlane; kusukela osukwini owaphuma ngalo ezweni laseGibithe, waze wafika kule ndawo, nahlubuka uJehova.

⁸ NaseHorebe namthukuthelisa uJehova, uJehova wanithukuthelela ukuba anibhubhise.

⁹ Lapho ngenyukela entabeni ukwamukela izibhebhe zamatshe, izibhebhe zesivumelwano uJehova asenza nani, ngahlala entabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, futhi angizange ngidle isinkwa, futhi angiphuzanga manzi.

¹⁰ UJehova wanginika izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe zilotshwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu; kwakulotshwe kuyo njengawo wonke amazwi uJehova awakhuluma kini entabeni phakathi komlilo ngosuku lokuhlangana.

¹¹ Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane uJehova wanginika izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe, izibhebhe zesivumelwano.

¹² UJehova wathi kimi: “Sukuma, usuke lapha masinyane; ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhipha eGibithe babunile, baba yincithakalo; baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo; bazenzela isithombe esibunjiweyo.

¹³ Futhi uJehova wakhuluma kimi, wathi: “Ngibabonile laba bantu; bheka, bangabantu abanenkani.

¹⁴ Mangime, ngibabhubhise, ngesule igama labo phansi kwezulu; ngiyakukwenza ube yisizwe esinamandla nesikhulu kunabo.

¹⁵ Ngase ngiphenduka ngehla entabeni, intaba yavutha umlilo, izibhebhe zombili zesivumelwano zisesandleni sami sobabili.

¹⁶ Ngabona, bhekani, nonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nazenzela ithole elibunjiweyo; naphambuka masinyane endleleni uJehova aniyale ngayo.

¹⁷ Ngase ngithatha amatafula amabili ngawalahla ezandleni zami zombili, ngawaphahlaza phambi kwamehlo enu.

¹⁸ Ngawa phansi phambi kukaJehova njengakuqala izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; angidlanga sinkwa, angiphuzanga manzi ngenxa yazo zonke izono zenu enone ngazo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba nimthukuthelise.

¹⁹ Ngokuba ngesaba intukuthelo nokuvutha kolaka uJehova anithukuthelela ngakho ukuba anibhubhise. Kodwa uJehova wangizwa ngaleso sikhathi.

²⁰ UJehova wamthukuthelela kakhulu u-Aroni, waze wambhubhisa; futhi ngamkhulekela u-Aroni ngaleso sikhathi.

²¹ Ngasithatha isono senu, ithole enalenza, ngalishisa ngomlilo, ngaligxoba, ngalicolisisa, laze lacoleka njengothuli; ngase ngiluphonsa uthuli lwalo emfudlaneni ophuma entabeni.

²² EThabera naseMasa naseKibroti-Hatava nimthukuthelisa uJehova.

²³ Ngokunjalo lapho uJehova enithuma nisuka eKadeshi-Barineya ukuthi: ‘Khuphukani nilidle izwe engininike lona; nahlubuka emyalezweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, anikholwanga nguye, anililalelanga izwi lakhe.

²⁴ Lina lihlubukile eNkosini kusukela osukwini engalazi ngalo.

²⁵ Ngase ngiwa phansi phambi kukaJehova izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, lapho ngawa phansi ekuqaleni; ngokuba uJehova ushilo ukuthi uyakunibhubhisa.

²⁶ Ngakhuleka kuJehova ngathi: ‘Nkosi Jehova, ungabhubhisi abantu bakho nefa lakho olihlengile ngobukhulu bakho owalikhipha eGibithe ngesandla esinamandla.

²⁷ Khumbula izinceku zakho, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe; ungabheki inkani yalaba bantu, nobubi babo, nesono sabo.

²⁸ Izwe owasikhipha kulo malingasho ukuthi: ‘Ngokuba uJehova wayengenakubangenisa ezweni abathembisa lona, nangokuba wayebazonda, wabahola ukuba ababulale ehlane.

²⁹ Kodwa bangabantu bakho nefa lakho, obakhiphile ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo.
