Bible Reading Plan – Day 49

₁“Ke kaloku senyuka saya eBhashan. Ke yena ukumkani uOgi waphuma nawo wonke umkhosi wakhe, wasihlasela ngase-Edreyi. ₂*UNdikhoyo ke wathi kum: ‘Musani ukumoyika; ndimnikele ezandleni zenu, ndawonye nomkhosi wakhe, nawo wonke umhlaba wakhe. Nakuye yenzani kwangaloo ndlela nenza ngayo kuSihon ukumkani wama-Amori eHeshbhon.’

₃“Ngoko ke uNdikhoyo wamnikezela kuthi nokumkani uOgi waseBhashan, saza samxabela ndawonye nabantu bakhe, akwasala namnye. ₄Ngokunjalo ke sazihlasela sazithatha zonke iidolophu zakhe, asashiya noba ibe nye. Xa zizonke yaba ziidolophu ezimashumi mathandathu yonke loo ngingqi yaseAgobhi, eyayiphantsi ko-Ogi ukumkani waseBhashan. ₅Zonke ke ezo dolophu zazinqatyisiwe zibiyelwe ngeendonga, zinamasango omelezwe ngemivalo yentsimbi; phofu zazikho needolophu ezazingabiyelwanga. ₆Zonke ke sazitshabalalisa, sabulala ndoda, mfazi, namntwana wembala, kanye kwangalaa ndlela senza ngayo kwiidolophu zikakumkani uSihon waseHeshbhon. ₇Sazithimbela iinkomo namanye amaxhoba apho ezidolophini.

₈“Ngelo thuba ke sawuthatha wonke umhlaba wezo kumkani zimbini zama-Amori, ngasempuma yomlambo iJordan, ukusuka kumlambo iAnoni ukuya kwintaba iHermon. ₉Ke intaba iHermon yayibizwa ngokuba yiSiriyon ngamaSidon, ama-Amori wona esithi yiSenire. ₁₀Sawuthatha wonke ummandla kakumkani uOgi waseBhashan: ezo dolophu zikuloo mathafa, ummandla waseGiliyadi naseBhashan, sada saya kutsho empuma kwiidolophu zaseSaleka nase-Edreyi.

₁₁“Ukumkani uOgi waba ngowokugqibela kumaRafa. Wayelala ebhedini yentsimbi. Yayiziimitha ezine ubude, zikwisithuba sesibini ububanzi. Nangoku ke isekhona kwidolophu yama-Amon iRabha.”

₁₂“Ukuwuthatha kwethu umhlaba osempumalanga yeJordan, amaRubhen namaGadi ndawanika ummandla ongasentla kweArure ngakumlambo iAnoni, nenxalenye yeleentaba zaseGiliyadi, ngokunjalo needolophu zakhona. ₁₃Ke sona isiqingatha samaManase ndasinika loo mhlaba useleyo waseGiliyadi, ngokunjalo neBhashan iphela apho kwakulawula uOgi. Yonke loo ngingqi yaseAgobhi kwelaseBhashan yayisaziwa ngokuba ngumhlaba wamaRafa. ₁₄UJayire wendlu kaManase wawuthatha wonke loo mmandla waseAgobhi, iBhashan, ukuya kutsho kwimimandla yaseGeshuri naseMahaka. Ezo dolophu ke wazithiya ngaye; nangoku ke kusathiwa zezikaJayire. ₁₅Ke yona iGiliyadi ndayinika imizi kaMakire wendlu kaManase. ₁₆AmaRubhen namaGadi ndawabela ummandla waseGiliyadi ukuya kumlambo iAnoni. Umbindi waloo ntili yangumda ongezantsi; umda ongasentla wona yangumlambo iJabhoko onxalenye yawo yayingumda wama-Amon. ₁₇Ngasentshonalanga umda wabo wawuye kuthi xhaxhe ngomlambo iJordan; ngasentla usuka kuLwandle lwaseGalili uye kuthi gaa ngoLwandle oluFileyo ngezantsi, uze uye kuthi rhece kumalengalenga entaba iPisga empumalanga.

₁₈“Kananjalo ngelo thuba ndaniyalela, ndathi: ‘UNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uninikile loo mhlaba usempumalanga yomlambo iJordan ukuba nime kuwo. Ke wona umkhosi wenu wuxhobiseni, niwuthumele uwele iJordan, wandulele amawawo. ₁₉Abafazi nabantwana, ngokunjalo nomhlambikazi weenkomo zenu, mabasale apha kwezi dolophu ndinabele zona. ₂₀Wancedeni amawenu nawo ade azinze kuloo mhlaba awuphiwe nguNdikhoyo kwintshonalanga yomlambo iJordan, njengoko selenzile nakuni. Emva koko ke noba nako ukubuyela apha kulo mhlaba usisabelo senu.’

₂₁“Ndaza ke ndathetha noYoshuwa, ndathi: ‘Sowuyibonile ke into eyênziwa nguNdikhoyo uThixo wethu kookumkani ababini, uSihon no-Ogi. Úsaza kwenza kwaloo nto ke nakubo bonke ookumkani obahlaselayo kwelo lizwe ùya kulo. ₂₂Ningaboyiki, kuba uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu nguye oza kunilwela.’ ”

₂₃“Kwangelo thuba ndambongoza *uNdikhoyo, ndathi: ₂₄‘Mhlekazi Ndikhoyo, nakalokunje wena sowundikrobisile kumsebenzi wakho omkhulu omangalisayo oseluwuqalile. Akukho *thixo wumbi ezulwini nasemhlabeni onako ukwenza imisebenzi enjengale uyenzileyo ukuba mikhulu! ₂₅Ndiyakubongoza kaloku, Ndikhoyo, ndivumele ndiyiwele iJordan, ndiwubone loo mhlaba mhle kunene, ngaphesheya phaya, ezaa nduli zibukekayo ngokunjalo naloo ntaba yeLebhanon.’

₂₆“Kambe ke ngenxa yenu, bantundini, uNdikhoyo wacaphuka, akandiphulaphula, suka wathi: ‘Kwanele; sukuba sathetha nokuthetha! Andisafuni kuva nto ngalo mcimbi. ₂₇Nto nje hamba uqabele kwincochoyi yentaba iPisga, ulibuke ujonge ngasentla, ezantsi, empuma, nasentshonalanga. Uya kulibona kuphela ngamehlo, kuba awusoze uwuwele umlambo iJordan. ₂₈UYoshuwa myale, umkhuthaze, umomeleze, kuba nguye oza kukhokela amaSirayeli awele aye kuma kwelo lizwe ulibonayo.’ ₂₉Ngoko ke sahlala apho kuloo ntili ijongene neBhete-pehore.”

₁UMosis wawayala amaSirayeli, wathi: “Le mimiselo ndinifundisa yona yithobeleni, khon' ukuze niphile, nibe nako ukungena kwelo lizwe niliphiwa *nguNdikhoyo uThixo wookhokho benu. ₂Le miyalelo kaNdikhoyo ndininika yona ze niyigcine, ningaze niyandise okanye niyinciphise. ₃Nazibonela ngokwenu into awayenzayo uNdikhoyo eBhali-pehore. Wabatshabalalisa bonke ababenqula uBhali wasePehore, ₄kambe ke nina enanibambelele kuNdikhoyo uThixo wenu nisekho unanamhla.

₅“Niyabona ke, ndinifundise yonke imimiselo nemigaqo ngokomlomo kaNdikhoyo uThixo wam, khon' ukuze niyithobele nakulizuza elo lizwe niza kungena kulo. ₆Yithobeleni niyigcine, zize ezinye izizwe ziniqonde ukuba ninobulumko nengqiqo. Zakuva ngale mimiselo ziya kutsho ukuthi: ‘Hayi, ukulumka nokuba nengqiqo kolu hlanga olukhulu!’ ₇Sisiphi na esinye isizwe esikhulu kangangokuba *uthixo waso abe kufutshane kuso njengoko uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu esondele kuthi xa simthandaza? ₈Sisiphi na esinye isizwe esikhulu kangangokuba sibe nemimiselo nemigaqo enjengalo mthetho endiwaneka phambi kwenu namhlanje? ₉Lumkani ke, nizigcine ubomi benu bonke, hleze nikulibale konke enakubonayo ngamehlo enu, kulibaleke nakwiinkumbulo zenu. Ze nibalisele abantwana benu, ngokunjalo nabazukulwana ₁₀ngalaa mini nanimi phambi koNdikhoyo uThixo wenu kwintaba iHorebhe, apho wathetha nam wathi: ‘Bahlanganise ndawonye aba bantu, ukuze baweve amazwi am, bafunde ukundihlonela nanini na besadla amazimba kweli gada lomhlaba, nokuze bafundise nabantwana babo.’

₁₁“Kaloku nakha nasondela nafika nema emazantsi entaba eyayigqunywe yintshinyela yomsi, inamalangatye omlilo awayedangazela esibhakabhakeni. ₁₂UNdikhoyo wathetha nani ekuloo mlilo, naza nakuva ukuthetha kwakhe, kodwa anabi nako mpela ukubona ubuqu bakhe – ibililizwi kuphela. ₁₃Wawubhengeza kuni umnqophiso wakhe emaniwuthobele, nditsho imithetho elishumi ayibhale kumacwecwe amabini amatye. ₁₄UNdikhoyo wandiyala ukuba ze ndinifundise imimiselo nemigaqo eniya kuyithobela kwelo niwelela kulo ukuba nilimé.”

₁₅“Xa *uNdikhoyo wayethetha nani eselangatyeni lomlilo kwintaba iHorebhe, zange nisibone isiqu sakhe. Ncedani ke nizigcine, ₁₆ningaze none ngokuziqingqela umfanekiso, noba uluhlobo luni na, noba yindoda okanye umfazi, ₁₇isilwanyana okanye intaka, ₁₈into erhubuluzayo noba yintlanzi. ₁₉Ningaze nilingeke nizinqule nizibuse izinto enizibona esibhakabhakeni: ilanga, inyanga, neenkwenkwezi. UNdikhoyo uThixo wenu ezi zinto uziyekele ezinye izizwe ukuba zizinqule. ₂₀Ke nina ningabantu uNdikhoyo abahlangule eJiputa kwiziko lomlilo. Wanikhupha apho, khon' ukuze anenze abantu bakhe ncakasana njengokuba kunjalo namhlanje.

₂₁“Ngenxa yenu uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu waxabana nam, wafunga ukuba andiyi kuwuwela umlambo iJordan ndilibone ilizwe lendyebo aninika lona. ₂₂Ngoko ke mna andizukuwuwela umlambo, koko ndiza kufela apha, kodwa ke nina seniza kuwela niye kuma kwelo lizwe lendyebo. ₂₃Zigcineni kunene, ningaze niwulibale umnqophiso ophakathi kwenu noNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, nisuke niwugqithe umyalelo wakhe, niziqingqele umfanekiso noba ngowantoni na. ₂₄Kaloku uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu ngumlilo olenyayo; unguThixo onekhwele.

₂₅“Naxa senaluphele kwelo lizwe, senide nanabantwana nabazukulwana, ukuba nithe nona ngokuziqingqela umfanekiso, noba ngoluhlobo luni na, nenza okubi phambi koNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, niyamcaphukisa. ₂₆Ke ngoko namhlanje izulu nomhlaba ngamangqina am: ukuba nithe nenjenjalo niya kukhawuleza ningabikho kwelo lizwe. Aniyi kuhlala thuba lide phaya phesheya kweJordan, kweli lizwe niya kulo ngoku. Niya kutshatyalaliswa niphele tu. ₂₇UNdikhoyo uya kunisarhaza phakathi kwezizwe apho kuya kusinda iqaqobana nje kuni. ₂₈Apho ke niya kunqula *oothixo abenziwe ngabantu, abenziwe ngomthi, nangamatye: oothixo abangaboniyo, abangevayo, abangatyiyo, bengajoji nokujoja. ₂₉Niya kuthi ke nakumfuna uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu nikuloo meko nimfumane; ewe, ukuba nimfuna nimlangazelela ngomxhelo wenu wonke niya kumfumana. ₃₀Niya kuthi kamva nakuba sengxakini zibe zinihlele zonke ezi zinto, nitsho nibuyele kuNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, nimthobele. ₃₁Yena unguThixo onemfesane. Akayi kunilahla kuphele, okanye anitshabalalise; ewe, akayi kuwulibala umnqophiso awawenza ngokwakhe nookhokho benu.”

₃₂“Ze nifunisise nibuzise ngamaxesha amandulo ningekazalwa, de kuye kwixesha apho uThixo wadala umntu emhlabeni. Ze nibuzise ehlabathini liphela. Ngaba into enjengale yakha yehla na ngaphambili? Ngaba ukhona na umntu owakha weva ngento enjengale? ₃₃Ngaba sikho na isizwe esakha seva uThixo ethetha naso eselangatyeni lomlilo, saza saphila, njengani? ₃₄Ukhona na omnye *uthixo owakha waphuthuma abantu kwesinye isizwe, waza wabenza abakhe ncakasana? Kaloku uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu amandla obungangamsha bakhe wawabonakalisa phambi kwenu; wezisa izibetho neemfazwe, wenza imiqondiso nemimangaliso, watsho kwehla izinto ezirhwaqelisayo, nto leyo wayenzayo ngenxa yenu eJiputa.

₃₅“UNdikhoyo unibonisile zonke ezi zinto, khon' ukuze niqonde ukuba akukho wumbi, nguye yedwa uThixo. ₃₆Wahlokomisa ilizwi lakhe emazulwini kuba eniqeqesha. Nathi nilapha emhlabeni wanibonisa umlilokazi wakhe, waza wathetha nani elapho kuwo. ₃₇Wathi ngenxa yokubathanda ookhokho benu waninyula wanikhupha kwelaseJiputa ngamandla akhe angummangaliso nangobukho bakhe, ₃₈waza wagxotha izizwe ezikhulu nezinamandla kunani, khon' ukuze aningenise kwimihlaba yazo, mihlaba leyo iseyeyenu unanamhla.

₃₉“Kuvumeni nikwamkele ukuba uNdikhoyo unguThixo wamazulu nehlabathi. Akukho Thixo wumbi ngaphandle kwakhe. ₄₀Yonke imimiselo nemiyalelo yakhe endininike yona namhlanje yithobeleni, khon' ukuze liqaqambe ikamva lenu nezizukulwana zenu. Ngaloo ndlela ke niya kuma ngonaphakade kweli lizwe aniphe lona uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

₄₁UMosis ke wakhetha iidolophu zantathu ngaphesheya empuma yeJordan, ₄₂apho umntu wayengaphephela khona, ukuze asinde xa ebulele umntu ongelotshaba lwakhe ngengozi. Xa ebalekele kwezi dolophu wayengenakubulawa. ₄₃Indlu kaRhubhen wayinika idolophu yaseBhezere kweso sithabazi sentlango; indlu kaGadi yona wayinika iRamoti kwelaseGiliyadi; waza ke yona indlu kaManase wayinika iGolani eBhashan.

_44-46Ke kaloku uMosis wawandlala phambi kwamaSirayeli umthetho kaThixo, ewakhumbuza ngazo zonke izicwangciso nemimiselo nemigaqo yakhe. Kwakusemva kokuphuma kwawo eJiputa, xa ayekuloo ntili iphesheya kweJordan, malunga neBhete-pehore. Apha ke kwakukummandla owawukade ungokaSihon ukumkani wama-Amori owayehlala eHeshbhon. Kaloku uMosis namaSirayeli amoyisa ukuphuma kwabo eJiputa. ₄₇Bema emhlabeni wakhe, ngokunjalo nakokaOgi ukumkani waseBhashan phesheya kweJordan, owayengomnye wookumkani ababini aba bama-Amori. ₄₈Lo mhlaba ke wawusuka eArure ekungeneni komlambo iAnoni, ugongothe unyuke uyokutsho kwintaba iSiriyon (okanye intaba iHermon). ₄₉Kwangokunjalo wawuthatha nengingqi ephesheya kweJordan uhle uyokutsho kuLwandle oluFileyo, empuma uyokurheca amazantsi entaba iPisga.

₁Ke kaloku uMosis wawabiza onke amaSirayeli, waza wadanduluka wenjenje: “Hoyina, maSirayeli! Phulaphulani, nantsi imimiselo nemigaqo endiyibhengeza ezindlebeni zenu namhlanje. Yifundeni ngenyameko, nize niyithobele. ₂Kwintaba iHorebhe *uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu wenza umnqophiso nathi. ₃Lo mnqophiso akawenzanga noobawo nje qha, koko wawenza nathi sonke ngabanye, thina baphilayo namhlanje. ₄Apho kuloo ntaba uNdikhoyo wathetha nani ubuso ngobuso eselangatyeni lomlilo. ₅Ngelo thuba ke mna ndema phakathi kwenu noNdikhoyo ndinivakalisela awayekuthetha, kuba kaloku nina nasuka noyika nakubona umlilo, anavuma ukusondela entabeni.

“UNdikhoyo wathetha nani, wathi: ₆‘Mna ndinguNdikhoyo uThixo wakho owakukhupha eJiputa apho wawulikhoboka khona.

₇“ ‘Ungaze unqule thixo wumbi ngaphandle kwam.

₈“ ‘Ungaze uziqingqele umfanekiso wothixo, nditsho nokuba ngowantoni na esesibhakabhakeni phezulu, okanye esemhlabeni phantsi, okanye nokuba yeyasemanzini aphantsi komhlaba. ₉Ungaze ukhahlele unqule umfanekiso oqingqiweyo; kuba mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho ndinguThixo onekhwele. Ndiyabohlwaya abandithiyileyo; ewe, ndohlwaya ooyise ndide ndiye kuqhina kwesesithathu nakwesesine isizukulwana sabo. ₁₀Kodwa ke ndiphuphuma izibele kumawaka-waka abo bandithandayo beyithobela imiyalelo yam.

₁₁“ ‘Ungaze ulikhankanye ngelize igama lam; mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho andiyi kumxolela ofumana alibize igama lam.

₁₂“ ‘*UMhla wokuPhumla wugcine ulusuku olulodwa lwam njengoko mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho ndikuyalelayo. ₁₃Sebenza imihla emithandathu, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho. ₁₄Ke wona umhla wesixhenxe lusuku lwam olulodwa lokuphumla. Ngoko ke makungabikho mntu usebenzayo ngalo mhla; nditsho nawe, umntwana wakho, nesicaka sakho, nemfuyo yakho, ngokunjalo nomngeneleli ohlala phakathi kwenu. Nesicaka sakho masiphumle kwanjengawe. ₁₅Kaloku khumbula ukuba nawe ubulikhoboka kwelaseJiputa, ndaza ke mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho ndakukhulula ngamandla obungangamsha bam. Yiyo ke le nto ndikuyalela ukuba uwubeke uMhla wokuPhumla.

₁₆“ ‘Mhlonele uyihlo ndawonye nonyoko njengoko mna Ndikhoyo onguThixo wakho ndikuyalelayo, khon' ukuze ube nokuzinza uxhamle intlala-kahle kwelo lizwe ndikunika lona mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho.

₁₇“ ‘Musa ukuba sisibulala-mntu.

₁₈“ ‘Musa ukukrexeza.

₁₉“ ‘Musa ukûba.

₂₀“ ‘Musa ukungqina ubuxoki ngomnye umntu.

₂₁“ ‘Musa ukunqwenela umfazi wenye indoda; ngokunjalo nomzi wayo, nentsimi yayo, nesicaka sayo, nenkomo yayo, nedonki yayo, nayo nantoni na eyeyomnye umntu.’

₂₂“Nantso ke imithetho awayibhengezayo kuni uNdikhoyo xa ninonke ngokuya nanihlangene entabeni. Ewe, akukho yimbi imithetho awayivakalisayo ngokuya wayethetha ngelizwi elikhulu eselangatyeni lomlilo kwintshinyela yomsi. Ke yona wayibhala kumacwecwe amabini amatye, wayinika mna.”
