Eksodusi 6

¹ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khathesi usuzabona engizakwenza kuFaro, ngoba ngesandla esilamandla uzabahambisa, futhi ngesandla esilamandla uzabaxotsha elizweni lakhe.

² UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMose, wathi kuye: NgiyiNkosi.

³ Ngabonakala ku-Abrahama, ku-Isaka, nakuJakobe egameni likaNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke, kodwa ngegama lami elithi JEHOVA ngangingaziwa kubo.

⁴ Futhi ngamisa isivumelwano sami nabo ukubanika izwe laseKhanani, izwe lokugogobala kwabo, ababengabafokazi kulo.

⁵ Futhi ngezwa ukububula kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abaseGibhithe abagqilazayo; ngakhumbula isivumelwano sami.

⁶ Ngakho yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuthi: NgiyiNkosi, futhi ngiyakunikhipha ngaphansi kwemithwalo yabaseGibhithe, futhi ngiyonikhulula ebugqilini babo, futhi ngiyonikhulula ngengalo eyeluliweyo nangamandla amakhulu. Izinqumo:

⁷ Ngiyakunithatha nibe yisizwe sami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu onikhipha phansi kwemithwalo yabaseGibithe.

⁸ Ngiyakuningenisa ezweni engaphakamisa isandla sami ngalo ukulinika u-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe; ngiyakuninika lona libe yifa; nginguJehova.

⁹ UMose wakhuluma kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, kepha abamlalelanga uMose ngenxa yobuhlungu bomoya nangenxa yobugqila obunzima.

¹⁰ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

¹¹ Ngena ukhulume kuFaro, inkosi yaseGibithe, ukuba avumele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphume ezweni lakhe.

¹² UMose wakhuluma phambi kukaJehova, wathi: “Bheka, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abangilalelanga; pho, uFaro angangilalela kanjani omlomo wakhe ungasokile na?

¹³ Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJehova wakhuluma kuMose no-Aroni, wayala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nakuFaro, inkosi yaseGibhithe, ukuba bakhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni laseGibhithe.

¹⁴ Laba babeyizinhloko zezindlu zawoyise: amadodana kaRubeni, izibulo lika-Israyeli; uHanoki, noPhalu, noHesironi, noKarmi; lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaRubeni.

¹⁵ Amadodana kaSimeyoni ngu oJemuweli, noJamini, no-Ohadi, noJagini, noSohari, noSawule, indodana yowesifazane waseKhanani; lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaSimeyoni.

¹⁶ Lawa angamagama amadodana kaLevi ngemindeni yawo; uGereshoni noKohati noMerari; iminyaka yokuphila kukaLevi yayiyiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa.

¹⁷ Amadodana kaGereshoni: oLibini noShimeyi ngemindeni yabo.

¹⁸ Amadodana kaKohati ngo u-Amramu, noJisihari, noHebroni, no-Uziyeli; iminyaka yokuhamba kukaKohati yayiyiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu nantathu.

¹⁹ Amadodana kaMerari ngu ngoMahali noMushi: yileyo eyimindeni yamaLevi ngezizukulwane zayo.

²⁰ U-Amramu wathatha uJokebedi, udadewabo kayise, abe ngumkakhe; wamzalela o-Aroni noMose; iminyaka yokuhamba kuka-Amramu yayiyiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa.

²¹ Amadodana kaJisihari: UKora noNefegi kanye noSigri.

²² Amadodana ka-Uziyeli: uMisayeli no-Elsafani noSitri.

²³ U-Aroni wazithathela u-Eliseba, indodakazi ka-Aminadaba, udadewabo kaNaasoni; wamzalela uNadabi, no-Abihu, no-Eleyazare, no-Itamari.

²⁴ Amadodana kaKora; o-Asiri, no-Elkana, no-Abiyasafi: yile imindeni yamaKorgi.

²⁵ U-Eleyazare indodana ka-Aroni wazithathela enye yamadodakazi kaPhuthiyeli, yaba ngumkakhe; wamzalela uFinehasi. Lezi ziyizinhloko zemindeni yamaLevi ngezizukulwane zabo.

²⁶ Yilabo o-Aroni noMose uJehova asho kubo ukuthi: “Bakhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe ngamabandla abo.

²⁷ Laba yibo abakhuluma kuFaro, inkosi yaseGibithe, ukuba akhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe: labo ngoMose no-Aroni.

²⁸ Lokhu kwenzeka mhla uJehova ekhuluma kuMose ezweni laseGibhithe.

²⁹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: “NginguJehova; ukhulume kuFaro, inkosi yaseGibithe, konke engikukhuluma kuwe.

³⁰ Wayesethi uMose phambi kukaJehova: “Bheka, nginezindebe zomlomo ezingasokile; uFaro uyakungilalela kanjani na?
