Eksodusi 3 UJehova wabonakala kuMose esihlahleni esivuthayo

¹ UMose wayeselusa umhlambi kaJetiro umukhwe wakhe, umpristi wakwaMidiyani; wahola umhlambi emva kwehlane, wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu kuze kufike eHorebe.

² Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi kaJehova elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni somunga;

³ Wayesethi uMose: “Mangiphambuke, ngibone lo mbono omkhulu, ukuthi isihlahla somunga asishiswanga ngani.”

⁴ Kwathi uJehova ebona ukuthi uphendukile ukuthi abone, uNkulunkulu wambiza esesihlahleni somunga, wathi: “Mose, Mose! Wathi: “Ngilapha.”

⁵ Wathi: “Ungasondeli; khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.

⁶ Futhi wathi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMose wafihla ubuso bakhe; ngoba wayesaba ukubuka uNkulunkulu.

⁷ UJehova wathi: “Ngikubonile nokukubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe, nokukhala kwabo ngezinceku zabo ngikuzwile; ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo;

⁸ Futhi ngehla ukuze ngibasindise esandleni sabaseGibhithe futhi ngibaqeqeshe baphume kulelo zwe ngibayise ezweni elihle nelikhulu, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi; endaweni yamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi;

⁹ Manje, bheka, ukukhala kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwafika kimi, futhi ngabona ukucindezela abaseGibhithe ababebacindezela ngakho.

¹⁰ Woza manje, ngizakuthuma kuFaro, ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

¹¹ Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngiye kuFaro, ngikhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe na?”

¹² Wathi: “Impela ngiyakuba nawe; lokhu kuyoba yisibonakaliso kuwe sokuthi ngikuthumile: Uma uhole abantu eGibhithe, kumelwe nikhonze uNkulunkulu kule ntaba.

¹³ Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Bheka, lapho ngifika kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngithi kubo: ‘UNkulunkulu wawoyihlo ungithumile kini; bazakuthi kimi: Ngubani ibizo lakhe? ngizobatshelani.

¹⁴ UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: NGINGENAKHO ENGIKHONA; wathi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: UNGUYE ungithumile kini.

¹⁵ Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Uzakusho kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ungithumile kini: igama lami. Kuze kube phakade, lesi yisikhumbuzo sami ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.

¹⁶ Hamba, ubuthe amalunga akwa-Israyeli, uthi kuwo: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, ka-Isaka, noJakobe, ibonakele kimi, yathi: Nginihambele, ngabona okwenziwa kini. EGibhithe:

¹⁷ Ngathi: Ngiyakunikhuphula ekuhluphekeni kwaseGibithe, nginiyise ezweni lamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.

¹⁸ Kumelwe ufike, wena namadoda amadala akwa-Israyeli, enkosini yaseGibhithe, nithi kuyo: ‘INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, isihlangabeze; manje masihambe, uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu siye ehlane, sihlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.

¹⁹ Ngiyazi ukuthi inkosi yaseGibithe ayiyikunivumela ukuba nihambe, cha, kungengasandla esinamandla.

²⁰ Ngiyakwelula isandla sami, ngilehlule iGibithe ngezimangaliso zami zonke engiyozenza kulo; emva kwalokho uyakunivumela ukuba nihambe.

²¹ Futhi ngizonika laba bantu umusa emehlweni aseGibhithe, futhi lapho nihamba, ngeke nihambe nize.

²² Kodwa yilowo nalowo wesifazane kumelwe atsheleke izinto zesiliva nezegolide nezingubo kumakhelwane wakhe nakuyena ohlala endlini yakhe; ulidwebe phezu kwamadodana akho namadodakazi akho; futhi kumelwe niphange abaseGibhithe.
