Ukungcwaliswa koonyana bamazibulo
1UYehova wathetha kuMoses, wathi, 2Ndíngcwalisele onke amazibulo, yonke into evula isizalo phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli, kumntu nakwinkomo; yeyam.
3Wathi uMoses ebantwini, Yikhumbuleni le mini niphumé ngayo eYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka; kuba uYehova unikhuphe kule ndawo ngesithe nkqi isandla; ize ke kungàdliwa nto inegwele. 4Lo ngumhla eniphume ngawo ngenyanga enguAbhibhi. 5Kothi, xa uYehova anifikisileyo ezweni lamaKanan, lamaHiti, lama-Amori, lamaHivi, lamaYebhusi, awalifungela ooyihlo ukubanika, izwe elibaleka amasi nobusi, ukhonze ngale nkonzo kule nyanga: 6nidle izonka ezingenagwele iintsuku ezisixhenxe; ke usuku lwesixhenxe lungumthendeleko kuYehova; 7izonka ezingenagwele zodliwa iintsuku ezisixhenxe; kungàbonwa kuwe nto inegwele, kungàbonwa gwele kuwe emideni yakho yonke.
8Uze umxelele unyana wakho ngaloo mini, uthi, Ndikwenza oku ngenxa yoko uYehova wakwenzayo kum ekuphumeni kwam eYiputa; 9kuze kube ngumqondiso kuwe osesandleni sakho, ube sisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho, ukuze umyalelo kaYehova ube semlonyeni wakho; kuba uYehova ukukhuphe eYiputa ngesithe nkqi isandla. 10Uze uwugcine lo mmiselo ngexesha lawo elimisiweyo imihla kamihla.
11Kothi, xa akufikisileyo uYehova ezweni lamaKanan, njengoko wafungayo kuwe nakooyihlo, wakunika lona, 12uyidlulisele kuYehova yonke into evula isizalo, into yonke elizibulo lenkomo, oya kuba nayo; amaduna oba ngakaYehova. 13Into yonke elizibulo le-esile wòyikhulula ngokuyimisela ngexhwane; ke ukuba uthe akwayikhulula ngokuyimisela, woyaphula ilungu lentamo. Yonke into elizibulo lomntu koonyana bakho, nayo woyikhulula ngokuyimisela.
14Kothi, xa unyana wakho akubuzayo ngexesha elizayo, esithi, Yintoni na le nto? uze uthi kuye, UYehova wasikhupha eYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka, ngesithe nkqi isandla; 15kwathi, xa uFaro wayelukhuni ukusindulula, uYehova wawabulala onke amazibulo ezweni laseYiputa, ethabathela kwizibulo lomntu, wesa kwizibulo lenkomo; kungenxa yoko, le nto ndibingelela kuYehova yonke into evula isizalo eliduna, ndiyikhùlule ngokuyimisela yonke into elizibulo koonyana bam; 16ibe ngumqondiso esandleni sakho, ibe sisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho, kuba uYehova wasikhupha eYiputa ngesithe nkqi isandla.
Ihambo kaSirayeli ukuya e-Etam
17Kwathi, akubandulula uFaro abantu, uThixo àkabakhokela ngendlela yelizwe lamaFilisti, nakuba ibimfutshane yona: kuba wathi uThixo, hleze abantu bazohlwaye bakubona imfazwe, babuyele eYiputa. 18UThixo wabazungulezisa abantu ngendlela yentlango yoLwandle oluBomvu.•
Banyuka bexhobile oonyana bakaSirayeli, bevela ezweni laseYiputa. 19UMoses wawathabatha wahamba nawo amathambo kaYosefu; kuba wayebafungisile nokubafungisa oonyana bakaSirayeli, esithi, UThixo uya kunivelela okunene; nize niwanyuse amathambo am, emke nani kule ndawo. 20Banduluka eSukoti, balalisa e-Etam, enyeleni yentlango.
21UYehova wahamba phambi kwabo ngomqulu welifu emini, ebakhokela ngendlela; ngomqulu womlilo ebusuku, ebakhanyisela, ukuze bahambe imini nobusuku. 22Awusukanga umqulu welifu emini, nomqulu womlilo ebusuku, phambi kwabantu.
