Eksodusi 16

¹ Basuka e-Elimi, inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli yafika ehlane laseSini eliphakathi kwe-Elimi neSinayi ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga yesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo ezweni laseGibithe.

² Yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli yakhonona ngoMose no-Aroni ehlane.

³ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathi kubo: “Sengathi safa ngesandla sikaJehova ezweni laseGibithe, sihlezi ngasemakhanzini enyama, sidla inala yesinkwa; ngoba nisikhiphise kuleli hlane ukuba nibulale lonke leli bandla ngendlala.

⁴ UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Bheka, ngizakuninisela isinkwa esivela ezulwini; futhi abantu kumelwe baphume futhi baqoqe inani elithile nsuku zonke, ukuze ngibavivinye ukuthi bayohamba yini emthethweni wami noma cha.

⁵ Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi ngosuku lwesithupha bayolungisa lokho abazokuletha; futhi kuyoba ngokuphindwe kabili kunaleyo abayiqoqa nsuku zonke.

⁶ OMose no-Aroni base bethi kubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Ngakusihlwa niyakwazi ukuthi uJehova unikhiphile ezweni laseGibhithe.

⁷ Kusasa niyakubona inkazimulo kaJehova; ngoba uyezwa ukukhonona kwenu ngoJehova. Thina siyini ukuthi nikhonone ngathi?

⁸ Wayesethi uMose: “Kuyakuthi uma uJehova eninika inyama kusihlwa ukuba nidle, nesinkwa ekuseni nisuthe; ngokuba uJehova uyezwa ukububula kwenu ngaye. Futhi siyini? anikhononi ngathi, kepha niphikisana neNkosi.

⁹ UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Tshono kuyo yonke inhlanganiso yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uthi: Sondelani phambi kweNkosi, ngoba ikuzwile ukukhonona kwenu.

¹⁰ U-Aroni esakhuluma kuyo yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, babheka ngasehlane, bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yabonakala efwini.

¹¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

¹² Ngikuzwile ukububula kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; khuluma kubo uthi: Kusihlwa niyakudla inyama, ekuseni nisuthe yisinkwa; niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

¹³ Kwathi kusihlwa kwenyuka izigwaca, zasibekela ikamu; ekuseni kwakulele amazolo ekamu nxazonke.

¹⁴ Kwathi lapho evuka amazolo alele phansi, bheka, kukhona phezu kogwadule into encane eyindilinga, encane njengongqoqwane emhlabathini.

¹⁵ Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekubona bathi omunye komunye: Leli yimana, ngoba babengazi ukuthi liyini. Wayesethi uMose kubo: “Lesi yisinkwa uJehova aninike sona ukuba nisidle.

¹⁶ Nansi indaba uJehova ayala ngayo: Buthani kukho, kube yilowo nalowo njengokudla kwakhe, ihomere kulowo nalowo, ngokwesibalo somzimba wakho; yilowo nalowo athathele abasetendeni lakhe.

¹⁷ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli benze njalo, abanye babutha kakhulu, abanye kancane.

¹⁸ Lapho sebelinganisa ngegomere, owayebuthe okuningi akasalanga lutho, nowayebuthe okuyingcosana akaswelanga; babutha, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengokudla kwakhe.

¹⁹ Wayesethi uMose: “Makungasali muntu kukho kuze kuse.”

²⁰ Kepha abamlalelanga uMose; kepha enye yasala kukho kwaze kwasa, yazala izimpethu, yanuka; uMose wabathukuthelela.

²¹ Bakubutha ekuseni njalo, kwaba yilowo nalowo njengokudla kwakhe; kwathi ilanga selifudumala, yancibilika.

²² Ngosuku lwesithupha babutha isinkwa esiphindwe kabili, amagomere amabili kumuntu munye; zonke izikhulu zenhlangano zeza zamtshela uMose.

²³ Wathi kubo: “Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Kusasa kuyisabatha elingcwele likaJehova; bhaka lokho ozokupheka namuhla, futhi upheke lokho ozokupheka; futhi okuseleyo, zibekeleni nina, nikugcine kuze kube kusasa.

²⁴ Bakubeka kwaze kwasa, njengalokho ebeyalile uMose; akunukanga, akwabakho zimpethu kukho.

²⁵ Wayesethi uMose: “Yidlani namuhla; ngoba namuhla kuyisabatha leNkosi; namuhla aniyikuyithola endle.

²⁶ Kumelwe ukubuthe izinsuku eziyisithupha; kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, okuyisabatha, kakuyikuba njalo.

²⁷ Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi abanye abantu baphuma ngosuku lwesikhombisa ukuyobutha, futhi abatholanga lutho.

²⁸ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lisala ukugcina imilayo yami lemithetho yami?

²⁹ Bhekani, ngokuba uJehova uninike isabatha, ngalokho uyaninika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sezinsuku ezimbili; hlalani, kube yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe, makungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa.

³⁰ Abantu basebephumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa.

³¹ Indlu ka-Israyeli yaqamba igama lakho ngokuthi imana, futhi yayimhlophe njengembewu yekoriyanderi; ukunambitheka kwayo kwakunjengezinyosi ezenziwe ngoju.

³² UMose wayesethi: “Nansi indaba uJehova ayale ngayo: Gcwalisani igomere kulo, ligcinelwe izizukulwane zenu; ukuze babone isinkwa enganidlisa ngaso ehlane lapho nginikhipha ezweni laseGibithe.

³³ UMose wathi ku-Aroni: “Thatha imbiza, ubeke kuyo imana, uyibeke phambi kukaJehova, igcinelwe izizukulwane zenu.

³⁴ Njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose, u-Aroni wawubeka phambi kobufakazi ukuba ulondolozwe.

³⁵ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli badla imana iminyaka engamashumi amane, baze bafika ezweni elakhiweyo; badla imana baze bafika emikhawulweni yezwe laseKhanani.

³⁶ Igomeri lingokweshumi kwe-efa.
