Exodus 34
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I have written on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets which you have broken;
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zibazele izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezakuqala; ngibe sengibhala phezu kwezibhebhe amazwi ayesezibhebheni zakuqala owaziphahlazayo.
2 and be prepared at morning, and you have come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and have stood before Me there, on the top of the mountain,
Ubusulungile ekuseni, wenyukele entabeni yeSinayi ekuseni, ume phambi kwami lapho engqongeni yentaba.
3 and no man comes up with you, and also no man is seen in all the mountain, also the flock and the herd do not feed toward the front of that mountain.”
Njalo kungenyukeli muntu kanye lawe, futhi kungabonakali lamuntu entabeni yonke; njalo izimvu lezinkomo zingadli phambi kwaleyontaba.
4 And he hews two tablets of stone like the first, and Moses rises early in the morning, and goes up to Mount Sinai as YHWH commanded him, and takes [the] two tablets of stone in his hand.
Wasebaza izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezakuqala; uMozisi wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wenyukela entabeni yeSinayi, njengoba iNkosi imlayile, wathatha esandleni sakhe izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe.
5 And YHWH comes down in a cloud, and stations Himself with him there, and calls in the Name of YHWH,
INkosi yasisehla eyezini, yema laye lapho, yamemeza ibizo leNkosi.
6 and YHWH passes over before his face, and calls: “YHWH, YHWH God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth,
INkosi yasisedlula phambi kwakhe, yamemeza yathi: INkosi, INkosi, uNkulunkulu, elesihawu elomusa, ephuza ukuthukuthela, levame ububele lobuqotho,
7 keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons and on sons’ sons, on a third and on a fourth [generation].”
egcinela abayizinkulungwane umusa, ethethelela ububi lesiphambeko lesono, engayikuyekela lokuyekela olecala, ephindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana laphezu kwabantwana babantwana kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu lesesine.
8 And Moses hurries, and bows to the earth, and pays respect,
UMozisi wasephangisa, wakhothamela emhlabathini, wakhonza.
9 and says, “Now if I have found grace in Your eyes, O my Lord, please let my Lord go in our midst (for it [is] a stiff-necked people), and you have forgiven our iniquity and our sin, and have inherited us.”
Wathi: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, Nkosi, akuthi iNkosi ihambe phakathi kwethu, ngoba yisizwe esintamo lukhuni, uthethelele ububi bethu lesono sethu, usithathe sibe yilifa lakho.
10 And He says, “Behold, I am making a covenant. I do wonders before all your people, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst you [are in] have seen the work of YHWH, for it [is] fearful—that which I am doing with you.
Yasisithi: Khangela, ngenza isivumelwano; phambi kwabantu bonke ngizakwenza izimangaliso ezingazange zidalwe emhlabeni wonke laphakathi kwezizwe zonke; labo bonke abantu ophakathi kwabo bazabona umsebenzi weNkosi, ngoba kuyesabeka engizakwenza lawe.
11 Observe for yourself that which I am commanding you today. Behold, I am casting out from before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
Zigcinele lokho engikulaya khona lamuhla; khangela ngizaxotsha phambi kwakho amaAmori lamaKhanani lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaHivi lamaJebusi.
12 take heed to yourself lest you make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst;
Ziqaphelisele ukuthi ungenzi isivumelwano labakhileyo elizweni oya kulo, hlezi kube ngumjibila phakathi kwakho.
13 for you break down their altars, and you shatter their standing pillars, and you cut down its Asherim;
Kodwa amalathi abo lizawadiliza, lensika zabo eziyizithombe lizaziphahlaza, lezixuku zabo lizazigamula;
14 for you do not bow yourselves to another god—for YHWH, whose Name [is] Zealous, is a zealous God.
ngoba kawuyikukhonza omunye unkulunkulu; ngoba iNkosi, ebizo layo linguBukhwele, inguNkulunkulu olobukhwele.
15 Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they have gone whoring after their gods, and have sacrificed to their gods, and [one] has called to you, and you have eaten of his sacrifice,
Hlezi wenze isivumelwano labakhileyo elizweni, nxa bephinga ngokulandela onkulunkulu babo, behlabele onkulunkulu babo, lomunye akunxuse, njalo udle okomhlatshelo wakhe;
16 and you have taken of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters have gone whoring after their gods, and have caused your sons to go whoring after their gods;
uwathathele amadodana akho kumadodakazi abo; nxa amadodakazi abo ephinga ngokulandela onkulunkulu bawo, enze lamadodana akho ukuthi aphinge ngokulandela onkulunkulu bawo.
17 you do not make a molten god for yourself.
Ungazenzeli onkulunkulu ababunjwe ngokuncibilikisa.
18 You keep the Celebration of Unleavened Things; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things, as I have commanded you, at an appointed time, [in] the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.
Umkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo uwugcine; insuku eziyisikhombisa udle isinkwa esingelamvubelo njengokukulaya kwami, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo senyanga kaAbhibhi, ngoba ngenyanga kaAbhibhi waphuma eGibhithe.
19 All opening a womb [are] Mine, and every firstling of your livestock born a male, [whether] ox or sheep;
Konke okuvula isizalo kungokwami, lalo lonke izibulo eliduna elezifuyo, inkomo kumbe imvu.
20 and you ransom the firstling of a donkey with a lamb; and if you do not ransom, then you have beheaded it; you ransom every firstborn of your sons, and they do not appear before Me empty.
Kodwa izibulo likababhemi ulihlenge ngezinyane; uba-ke ungalihlengi ulephule intamo. Lonke izibulo lamadodana akho uzalihlenga; njalo kungabonakali muntu phambi kwami engaphethe lutho.
21 [For] six days you work, and on the seventh day you rest; in plowing-time and in harvest you rest.
Uzasebenza insuku eziyisithupha, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa uphumule, ngesikhathi sokulima lekuvuneni uzaphumula.
22 And you observe [the] Celebration of Weeks for yourself, of [the] first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the Celebration of Ingathering at the revolution of the year.
Uzagcina umkhosi wamaviki, izithelo zokuqala zesivuno sengqoloyi, lomkhosi wokubuthelela ekuthwaseni komnyaka.
23 Three times in a year all your males appear before the Lord YHWH, God of Israel;
Kathathu ngomnyaka wonke owesilisa uzabonakala phambi kweNkosi uJehova, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
24 for I dispossess nations from before you, and have enlarged your border, and no man desires your land in your going up to appear before your God YHWH three times in a year.
Ngoba ngizaxotsha izizwe phambi kwakho, ngiqhelise imingcele yakho; njalo kakuyikuba lamuntu ofisa ilizwe lakho nxa usenyuka ukuyabonakala phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, kathathu ngomnyaka.
25 You do not slaughter the blood of My sacrifice with a fermented thing; and the sacrifice of the Celebration of the Passover does not remain until morning.
Unganikeli igazi lomhlatshelo wami kanye lokulemvubelo; futhi kakungasali kuze kuse umhlatshelo womkhosi wephasika.
26 You bring the first of the first-fruits of the land into the house of your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”
Ikhethelo lezithelo zokuqala zensimu yakho ulilethe endlini yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho. Ungapheki izinyane echagweni lukanina.
27 And YHWH says to Moses, “Write these words for yourself, for I have made a covenant with you and with Israel according to the tenor of these words.”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zibhalele la amazwi, ngoba ngokutsho kwalamazwi ngenzile isivumelwano lawe loIsrayeli.
28 And he is there with YHWH forty days and forty nights; he has not eaten bread, and he has not drunk water; and he writes on the tablets the matters of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
Njalo wayelapho leNkosi insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane; kadlanga sinkwa kanathanga manzi. Yasibhala ezibhebheni amazwi esivumelwano, imilayo elitshumi.
29 And it comes to pass, when Moses is coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony [are] in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mountain), that Moses has not known that the skin of his face has shone in His speaking with him,
Kwasekusithi uMozisi esehla entabeni yeSinayi, lezibhebhe zombili zobufakazi zazisesandleni sikaMozisi esehla entabeni, uMozisi wayengazi ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bakhe sasikhazimula ekhuluma laye.
30 and Aaron sees—all the sons of Israel also—Moses, and behold, the skin of his face has shone, and they are afraid of coming near to him.
Kwathi uAroni labo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli bebona uMozisi, khangela-ke, isikhumba sobuso bakhe sakhazimula, basebesesaba ukusondela kuye.
31 And Moses calls to them, and Aaron and all the princes in the congregation return to him, and Moses speaks to them;
UMozisi wasebabiza; loAroni lazo zonke induna zenhlangano babuyela kuye; uMozisi wasekhuluma labo.
32 and afterward all the sons of Israel have come near, and he charges them with all that YHWH has spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
Njalo emva kwalokho basondela bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; wasebalaya konke iNkosi eyayikukhulume laye entabeni yeSinayi.
33 And Moses finishes speaking with them, and puts a veil on his face;
Kwathi uMozisi eseqedile ukukhuluma labo, wafaka isimbombozo ebusweni bakhe.
34 and in the going in of Moses before YHWH to speak with Him, he turns aside the veil until his coming out; and he has come out and has spoken to the sons of Israel that which he is commanded;
Kodwa lapho uMozisi engena phambi kweNkosi ukukhuluma layo, wasisusa isimbombozo aze aphume; esephumile wakhuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli lokho akulayiweyo,
35 and the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses has shone, and Moses has put back the veil on his face until his going in to speak with Him.
labantwana bakoIsrayeli babona ubuso bukaMozisi, ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bukaMozisi sakhazimula. UMozisi wabuyisela isimbombozo ebusweni bakhe, aze angene ukuyakhuluma laye.
