To The Word – Day 26

₁*UNdikhoyo wabiza uMosis, wathetha naye *esesibingelelweni, wathi ₂makathethe namaSirayeli athi: “Xa umntu esenza umnikelo kuNdikhoyo makawenze ngento efuyiweyo, nokuba yinkomo, nokuba yimpahla emfutshane. ₃Xa anikela ngenkomo, esenza idini elitshiswayo, mayibe yinkunzi engenaso nasinye isiphako. Makayise esangweni lesibingelelo, khon' ukuze uNdikhoyo amamkele. ₄Loo mntu ke uya kubeka isandla sakhe entloko kuloo nkomo, yaye ke iya kwamkeleka ibe lidini lokumcamagushela. ₅Loo nkunzi iya kuxhelelwa apho phambi kukaNdikhoyo, baze ababingeleli bomlibo ka-Aron balisondeze kuNdikhoyo igazi layo, babuye batshize ngalo amacala onke eqonga lamadini elisekungeneni kwesibingelelo. ₆Loo mntu uya kubuya ayihlinze inkomo leyo, ayihlahle, ₇baze bona ababingeleli baphembe umlilo eqongeni, babekelele iinkuni phezu kwawo. ₈Baya kuthatha iinyama ezo, kunye nentloko, kwakunye namanqatha, bazibeke emlilweni apho. ₉Umntu lowo yena makahlambe izibilini namanqina enkomo leyo, aze yena umbingeleli alitshise lonke elo dini phezu kweqonga. Eli lidini elitshiswayo. Litshiswa ngomlilo, litsho ngevumba elithandekayo kuNdikhoyo.

₁₀“Ukuba into ekwenziwa umnikelo ngayo yigusha okanye yibhokhwe, mayibe liduna elingenasiphako. ₁₁Leyo makayixhelele kwicala elingasentla leqonga phambi kukaNdikhoyo, baze oonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli, balitshize igazi kumacala onke eqonga. ₁₂Yakuba ihlahliwe, umbingeleli wozibeka emlilweni oseqongeni zonke ezo nyama, ndawonye nentloko kunye namanqatha. ₁₃Umntu onikelayo yena uya kuhlamba izibilini kwakunye namanqina elo dini, aze yena umbingeleli alitshise lonke apho eqongeni. Eli lidini elitshiswayo. Litshiswa ngomlilo, litsho ngevumba elithandekayo kuNdikhoyo.

₁₄“Ukuba yintaka ekwenziwa ngayo idini elitshiswayo, mayibe lihobe okanye ivukuthu. ₁₅Umbingeleli wolisondeza eqongeni, aliqhawule intamo, alitshise apho eqongeni. Igazi lona uya kulophisela apho ecaleni leqonga. ₁₆Wolikhupha indlelo, ayilahle kunye neentsiba kwicala elingasempumalanga kweqonga, apho kulahlwa khona uthuthu, ₁₇andule ukulibamba ngamaphiko, aliqhaqhe, kodwa angalikrazuli kubini; athi emva koko alitshise lonke apho eqongeni. Eli lidini elitshiswayo. Litshiswa ngomlilo, litsho ngevumba elithandekayo kuNdikhoyo.”

₁“Xa kukho umntu onikela ukutya *kuNdikhoyo, makube ngumgubo. Makawudibanise namafutha omnquma, aze agalele intlaka yesiqhumiso, ₂awunikezele kubabingeleli bomlibo ka-Aron. Umbingeleli uya kukha kangangesandla kuloo mgubo, udityaniswe namafutha, aze athathe yonke intlaka yesiqhumiso, azitshise apho eqongeni, oku kube ngumqondiso wokuba yonke loo nto ngumnikelo kuNdikhoyo. Ivumba laloo mnikelo womlilo liyathandeka kuNdikhoyo. ₃Okushiyekileyo ke koko kutya kuya kuba koka-Aron noonyana bakhe. Kukutya okukodwa ke oku; kaloku kuthathwe kukutya okunikelwe kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.

₄“Ukuba umnikelo wenziwa ngesonka sombhako, masibe sisonka somgubo, singabi nagwele. Kungaba sisonka esikhulu esenziwe ngomgubo oxutywe namafutha omnquma, okanye kube ngamaqebengwana aqatywe ngaloo mafutha.

₅“Ukuba umnikelo wenziwa ngesonka esojiwe ngepani, masibe sesomgubo oxutywe namafutha omnquma, kodwa singabi nagwele. ₆Masiqhekezwe eso sonka, sigalelwe amafutha. Ngumnikelo wokutya ke lowo.

₇“Ukuba umnikelo wenziwa ngesonka esiphekiweyo, masibe sesomgubo oxutywe namafutha omnquma.

₈“Umnikelo wokutya mawusondezwe kuNdikhoyo, unikwe umbingeleli, awuse eqongeni. ₉Uya kwandula umbingeleli ukuthatha intwana engumqondiso wokuba unikelwa kuNdikhoyo, ayitshise apho eqongeni. Lo ngumnikelo womlilo. Ivumba ledini lomlilo liyathandeka kuNdikhoyo. ₁₀Okuseleyo kuloo mnikelo kokuka-Aron noonyana bakhe; kaloku kukutya okukodwa, kuba kuthathwe kukutya okunikelwe kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.

₁₁“Konke ukutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo makungabi nagwele. Ungaze ufake igwele okanye ubusi kukutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo. ₁₂Umnikelo wolibo lwesivuno sengqolowa ungásondezwa kuNdikhoyo yonke iminyaka, phofu ungàtshiswa eqongeni ngenjongo yokwenza ivumba elimyoli. ₁₃Ityiwa mayigalelwe kuwo wonke umnikelo wokutya, kuba kaloku ityiwa yalatha umnqophiso ophakathi kwenu noThixo. Ke ngoko yonke iminikelo mayigalelwe ityiwa. ₁₄Xa usondeza umnikelo wolibo lwesivuno sengqolowa yiza nomgrayo wengqolowa ogcadiweyo, okanye ingqolowa engqushiweyo. ₁₅Dibanisa amafutha omnquma, ugalele intlaka yesiqhumiso. ₁₆Umbingeleli woyitshisa inxalenye yomgubo namafutha kwakunye nentlaka leyo iyonke, oku kube ngumqondiso wokuba yonke loo nto ngumnikelo kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.”

₁“Xa kukho umntu onikela ngenkomo ukuba kwenziwe ngayo idini lobudlelane, loo nkomo mayibe yinkunzi okanye imazi engenasiphako. ₂Loo mntu unikelayo makabeke isandla phezu kwentloko yaloo nkomo, aze ayihlabe apho esangweni *lesibingelelo *sikaNdikhoyo. Ababingeleli bomlibo ka-Aron bona bothi tshize ngegazi elo kumacala onke eqonga. ₃Kweli dini lobudlelane mabenze umnikelo womlilo ngezi nyama: onke amanqatha enyama yangaphakathi, ₄izintso namanqatha azo, nomhlehlo oya kususwa kunye nezintso ezo. ₅Ababingeleli bowatshisa loo manqatha apho eqongeni ndawonye naloo minikelo itshiswayo. Lo ngumnikelo womlilo. Ivumba ledini lomlilo liyathandeka kuNdikhoyo.

₆“Ukuba yigusha okanye yibhokhwe ekwenziwa ngayo idini lobudlelane, nokuba yinkunzi nokuba yimazi, mayingabi nasiphako. ₇Xa iyigusha, loo mntu uyinikelayo makeze nayo phambi koNdikhoyo, ₈ayibeke isandla entloko, ayinqumlele apho phambi kwesibingelelo. Ababingeleli bothi tshize ngegazi layo macala onke eqonga, ₉baze ezi nyama zayo bazinikele kuNdikhoyo: amanqatha, nomsila wonke unqunyulelwe kufuphi nasekuqaleni komqolo, onke amanqatha agqume inyama yangaphakathi, ₁₀izintso namanqatha azo, nomhlehlo oya kususwa kunye nezintso ezo. ₁₁Umbingeleli wozitshisa zonke ezi nyama eqongeni, zibe lidini elinikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.

₁₂“Xa ngaba yibhokhwe, loo mntu uyinikelayo makeze nayo phambi koNdikhoyo, ₁₃ayibeke isandla entloko, ayinqumlele apho ngaphambi kwesibingelelo. Ababingeleli bothi tshize ngegazi layo kumacala onke eqonga, ₁₄banikele ezi nyama zibe ngumnikelo kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo: amanqatha enyama yangaphakathi, ₁₅izintso namanqatha azo, umhlehlo oya kususwa kunye nezintso ezo. ₁₆Umbingeleli wozitshisa zonke ezi nyama eqongeni, zibe lidini lomlilo elivumba lithandekayo kuNdikhoyo. Onke amanqatha ngakaNdikhoyo. ₁₇Makungabikho mSirayeli utya nqatha nagazi. Lo mmiselo mawugcinwe rhoqo ngamaSirayeli nakwizizukulwana ezizayo.”

₁*UNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis ukuba ₂makabhekise kumaSirayeli lo mlomo uthi xa kukho bani wonileyo, waphula imimiselo kaNdikhoyo engenzi ngabom, kufuneka alandele le miyalelo.

₃Xa ingumbingeleli othanjisiweyo lowo wenze isono, aze ngokwenjenjalo azisele abantu ityala, yena uya kunikela ngethole lenkunzi yenkomo elingenasiphako, enze ngalo idini lokungxengxezela isono sakhe kuNdikhoyo. ₄Loo nkunzi uya kuyisa ngasekungeneni *kwesibingelelo, ayibeke isandla entloko, aze ayihlabele apho phambi koNdikhoyo, ₅aze ke kwayena athathe igazi layo, angene nalo esibingelelweni. ₆Akuba ethe nkxu umnwe egazini, uya kutshiza ngalo kasixhenxe apho ngaphambi koNdikhoyo nganeno komkhusane wegumbi eliyingcwele kangcwele, ₇andule ukutyikila ngenxalenye yegazi elo iimpondo ezikwiikona zeqonga lesiqhumiso elilapho kwigumbi eliyingcwele, aliphalaze igazi eliseleyo emazantsi eqonga lamadini atshiswayo elisekungeneni kwesibingelelo. ₈Wothi ke athathe onke amanqatha enyama yangaphakathi yale nkunzi, ₉izintso namanqatha azo, kunye nomhlehlo, ₁₀kanye njengoko enzayo ngamanqatha edini lobudlelane. Loo manqatha uya kuwatshisa kwelaa qonga lamadini atshiswayo. ₁₁Kodwa sona isikhumba nayo yonke inyama, intloko namanqina, nezibilini kwakunye namathumbu, oko kukuthi yonke inyama enganikelwanga kuNdikhoyo, ₁₂uya kuyikhuphela ngaphandle kwelali, azise kulaa ndawo ikhethekileyo apho kulahlwa khona uthuthu, azitshisele apho ngomlilo weenkuni.

₁₃Xa kone ibandla lakwaSirayeli liphela, lize ke libe netyala lokwaphula ummiselo kaNdikhoyo lingaqondanga, ₁₄kuya kuthi nje ukuba sazeke eso sono, kufuneke umzi uze nethole lenkunzi yenkomo yedini lokungxengxeza. Loo nkomo iya kuqhutyelwa esibingelelweni, ₁₅apho ziya kuthi phambi koNdikhoyo iinkokheli zomzi ziyibeke izandla entloko, ize ihlatywe. ₁₆Umbingeleli othanjisiweyo uya kuthatha inxenye yelo gazi, angene nalo ngaphakathi esibingelelweni, ₁₇athi nkxu umnwe kulo, aze atshize ngalo kasixhenxe phambi koNdikhoyo nganeno komkhusane wegumbi eliyingcwele kangcwele. ₁₈Elinye igazi wolityikila kwiimpondo ezikwiikona zeqonga lesiqhumiso elingaphakathi kwegumbi eliyingcwele, aze aliphalaze eliseleyo emazantsi eqonga lamadini atshiswayo elingasekungeneni kwesibingelelo. ₁₉Uya kwandula ke asuse onke amanqatha, awatshise eqongeni apho. ₂₀Ngale nkomo uya kwenza kanye ngalaa ndlela adla ngokwenza ngayo ngenkomo yedini lokungxengxezela izono. Yiyo ke le indlela umbingeleli enza ngayo idini lokucamagushela izono zabantu, yaye bozixolelwa. ₂₁Andule ke ukuyikhuphela ngaphandle kwelali loo nyama, aye kuyitshisa kanye ngalaa ndlela atshisa ngayo eyokucamagushela ezakhe izono. Lilo ke elo idini lokucamagushela ibandla.

₂₂Xa kone umntu oyinkokheli, aphule ummiselo kaNdikhoyo uThixo engaqondanga, ₂₃kuya kuthi nje ukuba ayiqonde into ayenzileyo, kufuneke eze nenkunzi yebhokhwe engenasiphako. ₂₄Woyibeka isandla entloko, aze ayinqumlele phambi koNdikhoyo kuloo ndawo kwenzelwa kuyo amadini atshisayo. Eli lidini lokucamagushela isono. ₂₅Umbingeleli wofaka umnwe egazini lebhokhwe leyo, alityikile kwiimpondo ezisezikoneni zeqonga, aze eliseleyo aliphalaze emazantsi eqonga, ₂₆aze awatshisele apho eqongeni onke amanqatha, kanye njengoko esenza ngawamadini obudlelane. Wokwenjenjalo ke umbingeleli ukunikela idini lokucamagushela umntu oyinkokheli, aze axolelwe isono sakhe.

₂₇Xa kone umntu nje, abe netyala lokwaphula ummiselo kaNdikhoyo engaqondanga, ₂₈kuya kuthi nje ukuba asiqonde isono sakhe, kufuneke eze nemazi yebhokhwe engenasiphako, ukuze angxengxezele isono sakhe. ₂₉Woyibeka isandla entloko, aze ayinqumlele apho kuxhelelwa khona amadini atshiswayo. ₃₀Umbingeleli wothi nkxu umnwe wakhe egazini layo, alityikile kwiimpondo ezikwiikona zeqonga, aze elinye aliphalaze emazantsi eqonga apho, ₃₁andule ke athathe onke amanqatha, kanye ngalaa ndlela enza ngayo kumadini obudlelane, aze awatshise apho eqongeni, abe livumba elimnandi kuNdikhoyo. Wenjenjalo ke umbingeleli ukwenzela umntu idini, aze axolelwe izono zakhe.

₃₂Ukuba kukho umntu ozisa igusha ukuza kwenza idini, mayibe yimazi engenasiphako. ₃₃Woyibeka isandla entloko, aze ayinqumlele apho kuxhelelwa khona izinto zokwenza amadini atshiswayo. ₃₄Umbingeleli wothi nkxu umnwe wakhe kwelo gazi layo, alityikile kwiimpondo ezisezikoneni zeqonga, eliseleyo aliphalaze apho emazantsi eqonga, ₃₅andule athathe onke amanqatha, kanye njengoko esenza kumadini obudlelane, aze awatshise apho eqongeni kunye nokutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo. Wenjenjalo ke umbingeleli xa esenzela umntu idini, khon' ukuze loo mntu axolelwe izono zakhe.

₁Amaxesha ngamaxesha mandulo uThixo wathetha nookhokho bethu ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ngomlomo *wabashumayeli. ₂Kodwa ke kula maxesha okugqibela uthethe nathi ngoNyana wakhe. UThixo wammisela ukuba abe yindlalifa yezinto zonke, kwaye futhi ihlabathi liphela walidala ngaye. ₃Ewe, uNyana lo uphuhlisa ubungangalala bukaThixo, ibe ke yena noThixo bangumceph' ucandiwe. Ihlabathi lixhaswe nguye ngamandla elizwi lakhe. Uthe ke akuba elwenzile uxolelo lwezono wahlala ewongeni kwaThixo kweliphezulu. ₄Kaloku uNyana yena mkhulu kunezithunywa zezulu, kwaye ke uzuze negama elibalaseleyo kunelazo.

₅UThixo akukho sithunywa wakha wathi kuso:

₇Ngokubhekiselele kwizithunywa zikaThixo kuthiwa:

₈Kodwa uthi mayela noNyana:

₁₀Uphinda athi:

₁₃UThixo zange atsho nakusinye isithunywa ukuthi:

₁Kuyafuneka ke ngoko ukuba silumke, sibambelele nkqi emfundisweni esiyivileyo, hleze siluthuzeliswe. ₂Kaloku ukuba udaba olweza nezithunywa zezulu lwalulukhulu kangangokuba ukulutyeshela nokuludela bekuzisa isohlwayo esifaneleyo, ₃singaphuncuka njani ke thina xa siludela olungaka lona usindiso? YiNkosi ngokwayo eluvakalisileyo olu sindiso kuqala, baza ke abo bayivileyo babungqina ubunyani balo kuthi. ₄UThixo ke yena wongezelela ubungqina babo ngemiqondiso, imimangaliso, nangezenzo ezibonakalisa amandla akhe, ebanika neziphiwo zikaMoya oyiNgcwele ngohlobo athande ngalo.

₅UThixo kaloku akalinikanga izithunywa zakhe igunya lokulawula ilizwe elizayo – ngumxholo esithetha ngawo ke lowo. ₆Kukho indawo ekubhalwe kuyo *eziBhalweni kwathiwa:

₁₄Abantwana ke abo ngabantu. Naye ke uYesu waba ngumntu njengabo, khon' ukuze ngokufa kwakhe atshitshise igunya likaSathana lokuvuyelela abantu ngokufa. ₁₅Ngale ndlela ke wabakhulula abantu nakwiimbophelelo zokoyika ukufa ababephantsi kwazo bonke ubomi babo. ₁₆Ke aba abancedayo asizozithunywa zezulu, ngabantu abayinzala ka-Abraham. ₁₇Ngoko ke ubemele ukuba afane nqwa nabantakwabo, khon' ukuze abe ngumbingeleli onovelwano nothembekileyo emsebenzini kaThixo, onako ukungxengxezela izono zabantu. ₁₈Kaloku yena nanjengamntu oselephumelele ebunzimeni bokulingwa, unako ukubanceda abo basalingwayo.
