Eksodusi 4

¹ UMozisi wasephendula wathi: Kodwa khangela, kabayikukholwa kimi, kabayikulilalela ilizwi lami, ngoba bazakuthi: I Nkosi kayibonakalanga kuwe.

² INkosi yasisithi kuye: Kuyini lokhu okusesandleni sakho? Wathi: “Umgwaqo.”

³ Wathi: “Yiphonse phansi.” Wayiphonsa phansi, yaba yinyoka; uMose wayibalekela.

⁴ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yelula isandla sakho, uyibambe ngomsila. Waselula isandla sakhe, wayithatha, yaba ludondolo esandleni sakhe.

⁵ Ukuze bakholwe ukuthi uJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyise, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ubonakele kuwe.

⁶ INkosi yasisithi kuye: Faka isandla sakho esifubeni sakho. Wasifaka isandla sakhe esifubeni sakhe; wasikhipha, bheka, isandla sakhe sasinochoko njengeqhwa.

⁷ Wathi: “Buyisela isandla sakho esifubeni sakho.” Waphinda wasifaka isandla sakhe esifubeni sakhe; wayiklebhula esifubeni sakhe, bheka, yaphenduka yaba njengenye inyama yakhe.

⁸ Futhi kuyokwenzeka ukuthi uma bengakukholwa, noma bengalaleli izwi lesibonakaliso sokuqala, bayokholwa yizwi lesibonakaliso sokugcina.

⁹ Uma nabo bengakholwa yilezi zibonakaliso ezimbili, bengalilaleli izwi lakho, uyakuthabatha amanzi omfula, uwathele emhlabathini owomileyo namanzi owamukileyo; lomfula uyakuba yigazi emhlabathini owomileyo.

¹⁰ UMose wayesethi kuJehova: “Awu, Nkosi yami, angiyena umuntu okhulumayo, nangaphambili, nasemihleni yakho, kusukela lapho ukhuluma encekwini yakho; kodwa mina nginamazwi aphuzayo nolimi olunensayo.

¹¹ INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngubani owenza umlomo womuntu? Ngubani owenza isimungulu noma isithulu noma obonayo noma oyimpumputhe? Anginayo iNkosi na?

¹² Hamba manje, mina ngizakuba lomlomo wakho, ngikufundise lokho ozakutsho.

¹³ Wathi: “Nkosi yami, thuma ngesandla salowo omthumayo.”

¹⁴ Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela uMose, wathi: “Akasiye umfowenu u-Aroni umLevi na? Ngiyazi ukuthi uyakwazi ukukhuluma kahle. Futhi bheka, uyeza ukukuhlangabeza, futhi lapho ekubona, uyojabula enhliziyweni yakhe.

¹⁵ Kumelwe ukhulume naye ufake amazwi emlonyeni wakhe; futhi ngizoba nomlomo wakho nomlomo wakhe futhi nginifundise okufanele nikwenze.

¹⁶ Yena uyakuba ngumkhulumeli wakho kubantu, abe, yebo, abe ngawe esikhundleni somlomo, wena ube ngowakhe esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu;

¹⁷ Kumelwe uthathe lolu dondolo esandleni sakho ozokwenza ngalo izibonakaliso.

¹⁸ Wayesehamba uMose, wabuyela kuJetiro umukhwe wakhe, wathi kuye: “Ngivumele ngibuyele kubafowethu abaseGibhithe, ngibone ukuthi basaphila yini. UJetro wathi kuMose: “Hamba ngokuthula.”

¹⁹ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi kwaMidiyani: Hamba, ubuyele eGibhithe, ngoba bonke abantu ababedinga impilo yakho bafile.

²⁰ UMose wayesethatha umkakhe namadodana akhe, wabakhwelisa embongolweni, wabuyela ezweni laseGibithe; uMose waphatha intonga kaNkulunkulu esandleni sakhe.

²¹ UJehova wathi kuMose: “Uma ubuyela eGibithe, qiniseka ukuthi uyazenza phambi kukaFaro zonke lezo zibonakaliso engizinikele esandleni sakho; kodwa ngizayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe, ukuze angabayekeli abantu bahambe.

²² Uzakuthi kuFaro: Itsho njalo iNkosi: UIsrayeli uyindodana yami, izibulo lami;

²³ Futhi ngithi kuwe: Yiyeke indodana yami ihambe, ingikhonze; uma wenqaba ukumyeka, bheka, ngiyakubulala indodana yakho, izibulo lakho.

²⁴ Kwathi edlula, iNkosi yamhlangabeza, izama ukumbulala.

²⁵ USipora wayesethatha itshe elibukhali, wanquma ijwabu lendodana yakhe, waliphonsa ngasezinyaweni zakhe, wathi: “Bheka, ungumuntu wegazi kimi.

²⁶ Wayesemdedela; wayesethi: “Ungumuntu wegazi ngenxa yokusoka.”

²⁷ UJehova wathi ku-Aroni: “Hamba uyohlangabeza uMose ehlane. Wasuka wamhlangabeza entabeni kaNkulunkulu, wamanga.

²⁸ UMose wayesemtshela u-Aroni onke amazwi kaJehova amthumileyo, nezibonakaliso zonke eyamyala ngazo.

²⁹ OMose no-Aroni bahamba, babizela ndawonye onke amalunga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

³⁰ U-Aroni wakhuluma onke amazwi uJehova awakhuluma kuMose, wazenza izibonakaliso phambi kwamehlo abantu.

³¹ Abantu bakholwa, sebezwile ukuthi uJehova ubahambele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nokuthi ulubonile usizi lwabo, bakhothama, bakhuleka.
