U-EKSODUSI 27
I-aldari
1USomnini wathi kuMosi: “Wenze i-aldari ngeengodo zomtholo libe sikwere ngaphezulu. Ubude nobubanzi libe mamitha amabili nesiqunjwana. Libe limitha nesiqunjwana ukuphakama. 2Ulenzele iimpundu emajikenalo amane; zinamathele kilo bese ulinameka ngekoporo.
3“Ulenzele izitja zokufaka umlotha, iintjhefula, izitja zokunyenyeza, iimforogo nezitja zokutjhisela itjhwalo. Zoke izitja zalo uzenze ngekoporo.
4“Godu ulenzele umsefo wekoporo njengenede ngemaqadi walo. Wenze amasongo amane wekoporo emajikenalo amane. 5Ubeke umsefo ngaphasi komqoqo we-aldari ukuze ulembelele uphelele phakathi e-aldarini. 6Wenzele i-aldari iingodo, kube ziingodo zomtholo bese uzinameka ngekoporo. 7Iingodwezo zifakwe emasongweni ukuze zibe ngemaqadi we-aldari lokha naligugwako. 8Ulenze ngamaplanka libe nomkghotho ngaphakathi njengombana wakhonjiswa lona entabeni.”
Isirhodlo sethaberinakeli
9Godu uSomnini wathi kuMosi: “Wenze isirhodlo sethaberinakeli ngalendlela: Ngeswazini langesewula lethaberinakeli ulembelelise umlembelembe wamatjhila welineni emhlophe anomthungo abe mamitha amatjhumi amane nahlanu. 10Ihlangothi lesirhodlwelo alibe neensika ezimatjhumi amabili namanzinziso wakhona amatjhumi amabili kwenziwe ngekoporo, kodwana iinkhonkhwani zeensika kanye nemipherho yakhona kwenziwe ngesiliva.
11“Ngokunjalo ngeswazini langetlhagwini lethaberinakeli kube nomlembelembe wamatjhila omamitha amatjhumi amane nahlanu ubude. Akube neensika ezimatjhumi amabili namanzinziso wakhona amatjhumi amabili kwenziwe ngekoporo, kodwana iinkhonkhwani zeensika kanye nemipherho yakhona kwenziwe ngesiliva.
12“Ububanzi besirhodlo, ngeswazini langetjingalanga lethaberinakeli, bube nomlembelembe wamatjhila omamitha amatjhumi amabili nambili nesiquntu. Godu bube neensika ezilitjhumi kanye namanzinziso wakhona alitjhumi.
13“Ububanzi besirhodlo ngeswazini langaphambili lethaberinakeli ngepumalanga bube mamitha amatjhumi amabili nambili nesiquntu. 14-15Ihlangothi lesirhodlo langaphambili libe nemilembelembe emibili yamatjhila ephahle isango. Ubude bomlembelembe ngamunye bube mamitha asithandathu nesiquntu nesiqunjwana. Yomibili imilembelembe leyo ibe neensika ezintathu namanzinziso amathathu. 16Esangweni lesirhodlo akube nesivalo esimamitha alithoba ububanzi, senziwe ngelineni emhlophe ethungwe ngewulu ehlaza komkayi, ebubende netlerebede. Asibe neensika ezine ezinamanzinziso amane.
17“Zoke iinsika magegana nesirhodlo zibe nemipherho yesiliva, iinkhonkhwani zesiliva namanzinziso wekoporo. 18Ubude besirhodlo bube mamitha amatjhumi amane nahlanu, ububanzi bube mamitha amatjhumi amabili nambili nesiquntu. Ukuphakama komlembelembe kube mamitha amabili nesiqunjwana. Umlembelembe lowo ube ngewelineni emhlophe enomthungo; amanzinziso wakhona enziwe ngekoporo. 19Zoke izitja zethaberinakeli zananyana ngimuphi umsebenzi, nazo zoke iinkhonkhwani ezibamba itende nesirhodlo zizakuba ngezekoporo.”
Amafutha we-oliva wokukhanyisa ilithi leembani
20USomnini wathi: “Wena-ke Mosi utjele ama-Israyeli bonyana alethe kuwe amafutha we-oliva atsengileko nacwebileko wokukhanyisa ilithi leembani. Iimbani azihlale zivutha 21ngetendeni lokuhlanganela ngaphandle kwesiyaya esingaphambi kobufakazi. U-Aroni namadodanakhe kumele bahlale babona bonyana iimbani ziyakhanya phambi kwakaSomnini ukusukela ntambama bekuse. Lokhu kuzakuba simiso esijame nini nanini sama-Israyeli iinzukulwana ngeenzukulwana.”
