Eksodusi 13 Ukungcweliswa kwawo wonke amazibulo

¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

² Ngingcwelisele onke amazibulo, konke okuvula isizalo sikanina phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abantu nezinkomo; ngeyami.

³ Wayesethi uMose kubantu: “Khumbulani lolu suku ekuphumeni kwenu eGibithe, endlini yobugqila; ngokuba ngesandla esinamandla uJehova unikhiphile kule ndawo; akungadliwa isinkwa esivutshelweyo.

⁴ Namuhla niphumile ngenyanga ka-Abibi.

⁵ Kuyakuthi lapho uJehova eseningenise ezweni lamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaHivi, namaJebusi, eyathembisa oyihlo ngesifungo ukuninika lona, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi, nigcine leli zwe. Isevisi kule nyanga.

⁶ Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa uyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo, ngosuku lwesikhombisa kube nomkhosi kaJehova.

⁷ Isinkwa esingenamvubelo siyakudliwa izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; akuyikubonakala mvubelo kuwe, nemvubelo ayiyikubonakala kuwe kuzo zonke izindawo zakho zokuhlala.

⁸ Uzatshela indodana yakho ngalolosuku uthi: Lokhu kwenziwa ngenxa yalokho uJehova akwenza kimi ekuphumeni kwami eGibhithe.

⁹ Kuyakuba kuwe luphawu esandleni sakho nesikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho, ukuze umthetho kaJehova ube semlonyeni wakho; ngokuba ngesandla esinamandla uJehova wakukhipha eGibithe.

¹⁰ Ngakho kumelwe nigcine lesi simiso ngesikhathi saso unyaka nonyaka.

¹¹ Kuzakuthi-ke lapho uJehova ezalingenisa elizweni lamaKhanani, njengokuthembisa kwakhe kini laboyihlo ngesifungo, alinike lona,

¹² uyakuhlukanisela uJehova konke okuvula isizalo, nawo onke amazibulo ezilwane onazo; abesilisa bayakuba ngabakaJehova.

¹³ Wonke amazibulo ezimbongolo kumelwe uwahlenge ngewundlu; futhi uma ungayiyeki, kumelwe uyiphule intamo; wonke amazibulo omuntu phakathi kwabantwana bakho wowahlenga.

¹⁴ Kuyakuthi lapho indodana yakho ikubuza kamuva ithi: ‘Kuyini lokhu? uthi kuye: ‘Ngesandla esinamandla uJehova wasikhipha eGibithe, endlini yobugqila.

¹⁵ Kwathi uFaro engafuni ukusikhulula, uJehova wabulala wonke amazibulo ezweni laseGibithe, amazibulo abantu namazibulo ezilwane; ngakho-ke nginikela eNkosini konke okuvula i-matrix, engowesilisa; kodwa wonke amazibulo ebantwaneni bami ngiyawakhulula.

¹⁶ Kuyakuba luphawu esandleni sakho nanjengebhande phakathi kwamehlo akho; ngokuba ngesandla esinamandla uJehova wasikhipha eGibithe.

¹⁷ Kwathi uFaro esebayekele abantu bahambe, uNkulunkulu kabaholanga ngendlela yelizwe lamaFilisti, lanxa yayiseduze; ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi: Ukuze abantu bangaphenduki nxa bebona impi babuyele eGibhithe.

¹⁸ Kodwa uNkulunkulu wabajikelezisa abantu endleleni eya ehlane loLwandle LwaseShelefu; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphuka ezweni laseGibithe.

¹⁹ Khona-ke uMose wathatha amathambo kaJosefa wahamba nawo, ngoba wayebafungile abantwana bakwa-Israyeli wathi: “Impela uNkulunkulu uzonilalela; futhi niyothwala amathambo ami nisuke lapha nani.

²⁰ Basuka eSukoti bamisa inkamba e-Etamu ekugcineni kwehlane.

²¹ UJehova wahamba phambi kwabo emini ngensika yefu ukubahola endleleni; nasensikeni yomlilo ebusuku ukubakhanyisela; ukuhamba imini nobusuku:

²² Akazange asuse insika yefu emini noma insika yomlilo ebusuku phambi kwabantu.
