1USomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi 2akakhulume nama-Israyeli athi kiwo: “Nasi iminyanya kaSomnini ekumele nibize ngayo imihlangano ekhethekileko. Leyo-ke minyanyami ejanyisiweko.”
ISabatha
3“Umsebenzi awenziwe emalangeni asithandathu, kodwana ilanga lekhomba liliSabatha elihlukaniselwe umhlangano okhethekileko. KuliSabatha kuSomnini, ningenzi umsebenzi ngalo kuphi nakuphi lapha nizakuhlala khona.”
IPhasika nesiKwa esinganaNgumelo
4“Nasi iminyanya ejanyisiweko kaSomnini ekumele nibize ngayo imihlangano ekhethekileko ngeenkhathi zayo ezibekiweko: 5IPhasika lakaSomnini lizakuba ntambama elangeni letjhumi nane ngenyanga yokuthoma emnyakeni. 6Kuthi mhlana zilitjhumi nahlanu khona enyangeni leyo kuthome umnyanya kaSomnini wesiKwa esinganaNgumelo. Nizakudla isikwa esinganangumelo amalanga alikhomba. 7Elangeni lokuthoma lomnyanya lowo nibe nomhlangano okhethekileko, nje-ke ningawuphathi umsebenzenu wangemihla. 8Amalanga alikhomba lawo, nizakunikela iminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini. Kuthi ngelanga lekhombelo, nibe nomhlangano okhethekileko, yeke ningawuphathi umsebenzenu wangemihla.”
9USomnini wabuya wakhuluma noMosi wathi 10akakhulume nama-Israyeli athi: “Lokha naningena enarheni engininikela yona bese nivuna isivuno sakhona, lethani iinqwambi zebhali zokuthoma kumphristi. 11Umphristi uzabese uphakamisa iinqwambezo njengomnikelo osibiko kuSomnini ukuze namukeleke. Kufuze aziphakamise ngakusasa ngemva kwelanga leSabatha. 12Ngelanga mhlana niphakamisa iinqwambi kuSomnini, mhlokho nizakunikela iqamanyana elimsulwa nelinomnyaka munye bona libe mhlabelo wokutjhiswa kuSomnini. 13Nikelani iqamanelo kanye nomnikelo weenthoro omathungana amabili weflowuru esefiweko edutjwe ngamafutha we-oliva libe mnikelo owamukelekako kuSomnini. Godu kube nomnikelo wewayini elingaba lilitha nesiquntu. 14Ningadli isikwa, iinthoro ezikhanzingiweko namkha ibhali etja bekufike ilangelo lapha niletha khona umnikelo kuZimenu. Lokhu kusimiso sanini nanini eenzukulwaneni zenu kuphi nakuphi lapha nizakuhlala khona.
15“Nizakuthoma ukubala ilanga emva kweSabatha, okutjho ilanga eniletha ngalo iinqwambi zomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa, kube ziimveke ezilikhomba ezigcweleko. 16Balani bekube lilanga lamatjhumi amahlanu, okulilanga emva kweSabatha lekhomba bese kuthi mhlokho nilethe umnikelo wekoroyi etja kuSomnini. 17Kuphi nakuphi lapha nizakuhlala khona lethani amapani amabili wesikwa sokuphakanyiswa esiwunyelweko esibhagwe ngamathungana amabili weflowuru esefiweko, sibe njengesilumo kuSomnini uZimenu. 18Lethani izikwezo kanye namaqamanyana amsulwa alikhomba abe nomnyaka munye, ikunzana kanye namaqama amabili kube mhlabelo wokutjhiswa kuSomnini kanye nomnikelo weenthoro newokuselwako kube mnikelo owamukelekako kuSomnini. 19Godu kufuze ninikele ipongo ibe mhlabelo wehlambululo namaqamanyana amabili anomnyaka abe mhlabelo wetjhebiswano. 20Umphristi kufuze aphakamise izikwa zesilumo njengomnikelo osibiko kuSomnini kanye namaqamanyana amabili. Amaqamanyana lawo akhethekile kuSomnini, asisabelo somphristi. 21Mhlokho nimemezele umhlangano okhethekileko begodu ningawuphathi umsebenzenu wangemihla. Lokhu kusimiso sanini nanini eenzukulwaneni zenu kuphi nakuphi lapha nizakuhlala khona.
22“Lokha nanivuna isivuno senarhenu, ningakhothululi koke namkha niburukuje emva kwesivuno. Tjhiyelani odududu nosikhonzi. NginguSomnini uZimenu.”
23USomnini wabuya wakhuluma noMosi wathi 24akakhulume nama-Israyeli athi: “Elangeni lokuthoma enyangeni yekhomba akube liSabatha elikhethekileko, isikhumbuzo sokubetha iimporompita zomhlangano okhethekileko. 25Ningawuphathi umsebenzenu wangemihla. Nikelani iminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini.”
26Godu uSomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 27“Elangeni letjhumi lenyanga yekhomba kulilanga letethelelo kuSomnini. Kini kuzakuba mhlangano okhethekileko, nizakuzila ukudla, nilethe iminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini. 28Ningawuphathi nakancani umsebenzi ngelangelo ngombana kulilanga letethelelo enizenzela yona phambi kwakaSomnini uZimenu. 29Ongazithobi ngokuzila ukudla mhlokho akajutjwe ebantwini bekhabo. 30Owenza umsebenzi mhlokho, ngizamthanyela ebantwini bekhabo. 31Iye, ningawuphathi nakancani umsebenzi. Lokhu kusimiso sanini nanini eenzukulwaneni zenu kuphi nakuphi lapha nizakuhlala khona. 32Lelo kuliSabatha elihlukaniselweko kini, yeke nizakuzila ukudla. Elangeni lethoba lenyanga leyo ukuthoma ntambama bekube ngakusasa ntambama niphumule ngokupheleleko.”
Umnyanya wemiTlhatlhana
33USomnini wabuyelela wakhuluma noMosi wathi 34akakhulume nama-Israyeli athi kiwo: “Mhlana zilitjhumi nahlanu enyangeni yekhomba, amalanga alikhomba kumnyanya wemiTlhatlhana kuSomnini. 35Ngelanga lokuthoma kumhlangano okhethekileko, ningawuphathi umsebenzenu wangemihla. 36Amalanga alikhomba woke nizakuletha iminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini. Kuzakuthi ngelanga lobunane nibe nomhlangano okhethekileko nalapha niletha khona iminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini. Lowo mgidi omkhulu, yeke ningawuphathi umsebenzenu wangemihla.
37“Leyo-ke minyanya kaSomnini ekumele bona niyimemezele njengemihlangano ekhethekileko, ibe ngeyokuletha iminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini, ekumihlabelo yokutjhiswa, iminikelo yeenthoro, imihlabelo yetjhebiswano kanye neminikelo yokuselwako njengombana kubekelwe ilanga nelanga. 38Iminikelo leyo ayifaki phakathi izipho zenu zamaSabatha, iminikelwenu yesithembiso neminikelwenu yesihle eniyinikela kuSomnini.
39“Yelelani ukugidinga umnyanya kaSomnini amalanga alikhomba ngelanga letjhumi nahlanu enyangeni yekhomba, lokha nasele nibuthelele isivuno senarha. Ilanga lokuthoma kuzakuba liSabatha elikhethekileko godu kube njalo nangelanga lobunane. 40Ngelanga lokuthoma kufuze nikhe iinthelo zemithi ekhethekileko, iingala zamasundu, zemithi enamakari amahle nezemiyezani yemilanjaneni bese nijekezela phambi kwakaSomnini uZimenu amalanga alikhomba. 41Gidingani umnyanya kaSomnini amalanga alikhomba emnyakeni. Lokho kusimiso sanini nanini eenzukulwaneni zenu. Ugidingeni ngenyanga yekhomba. 42Nizakuhlala emitlhatlhaneni amalanga alikhomba. Boke abantu bendabuko kwa-Israyeli bazakuhlala emitlhatlhaneni 43ukuze iinzukulwana zenu zazi bona ngathi lokha nangenyula ama-Israyeli enarheni yeGibhide, ngawenza bonyana ahlale emitlhatlhaneni. NginguSomnini uZimenu.”
44UMosi wawethulela njalo-ke ama-Israyeli iminyanya kaSomnini.
