Pukaana 4
1 OLELO aku la o Mose, i aku la, Aia hoi; aole paha auanei lakou e manaoio mai ia'u, aole hoi e hoolohe mai i ko'u leo; no ka mea, e olelo auanei lakou, Aole i ikeia 'ku o Iehova e oe.
UMosi waphendula wathi, “Pho bangayekela ukungikholwa loba ukulalela engikutshoyo bathi, ‘uThixo kazange abonakale kuwe’?”
2 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Heaha kela mea ma kou lima? I aku la ia, He kookoo.
UThixo wathi kuye, “Kuyini lokho okusesandleni sakho?” Waphendula wathi, “Yintonga.”
3 I mai la kela, E hoolei ia ilalo i ka honua. Hoolei iho la ia ilalo i ka honua, a lilo ae la ia i nahesa: a holo aku la o Mose mai kona maka aku.
UThixo wathi, “Iphosele phansi emhlabathini.” UMosi wayiphosa phansi yasiphenduka yaba yinyoka, wayibalekela.
4 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E kikoo aku kou lima, a e lalau aku ma kona huelo. Kikoo aku la kona lima a lalau iho la, a hoi hou ae la ia i kookoo ma kona lima.
UThixo wasesithi kuye, “Yelula isandla sakho uyibambe ngomsila.” UMosi welula isandla wayibamba inyoka yasiphenduka yaba yintonga esandleni sakhe.
5 Ilaila e manaoio ai lakou, ua ikea e oe o Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua hoi o Iakoba.
UThixo wathi, “Lokhu yikwenzela ukuthi bakholwe ukuthi uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe ubonakele kuwe.”
6 Olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia ia, E hooholo oe i kou lima ma kou umauma iho. Hooholo ae la ia i kona lima ma kona umauma, a i kona unuhi ana mai, aia hoi, ua lepera ia e like me ka hau.
UThixo wabuye wathi, “Faka isandla sakho phakathi kwejazi lakho.” UMosi wasefaka isandla sakhe ejazini lakhe, kwathi lapho esesikhupha, sasesimhlophe njengongqwaqwane sesilobulephero.
7 I mai la oia, E hooholo hou ae oe i kou lima ma kou umauma. Hooholo hou i kona lima ma kona umauma, a unuhi hou mai, aia hoi, ua hoi hou ae la no e like me kekahi io ona.
Wathi njalo, “Sibuyisele isandla sakho ejazini lakho.” UMosi wasifaka isandla sakhe ejazini lakhe, wathi esesikhupha sasesibuyele esimeni saso, sesifanana lejwabu lakhe.
8 A ina aole lakou e manaoio mai ia oe, aole hoi e hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka hoailona mua, e manaoio paha lakou i ka leo o ka hoailona hope.
UThixo wasesithi, “Nxa bengayikukholwa loba bengananzi izibonakaliso zokuqala, mhlawumbe bazakholwa ezesibili.
9 A ina aole lakou e manaoio mai i keia mau hoailona elua, aole hoi e hoolohe i kou leo, alaila e lawe ae oe i kahi wai o ka muliwai, a e ninini ma kahi maloo, a e lilo auanei ka wai au e lawe ai mailoko mai o ka muliwai, i koko ma kahi maloo.
Kodwa nxa bengakholwa izibonakaliso lezi ezimbili loba bengakulaleli, uzathatha amanzi emfuleni uNayili uwathele emhlabathini owomileyo. Amanzi ozawathatha emfuleni azaphenduka abe ligazi emhlabathini owomileyo.”
10 I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, E kun Haku e, he kanaka akamai ole wau i ka olelo, aole mamua mai a hiki i keia wa au e olelo mai ai i kau kauwa nei, he kali ko'u waha, a he kali hoi ko'u elelo.
UMosi wasesithi kuThixo, “Oh Thixo, ngixolele, angizange ngibe yisikhulumi kusukela emuva kuze kube lakhathesi ukhuluma lenceku yakho. Ngiyagagasa njalo ngilamalimi.”
11 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Nawai i hana ka waha o ke kanaka? Nawai hoi i hana i ka aa, a me ke kuli, a me ka ike, a me ka makapo? Aole anei na'u, na Iehova?
UThixo wathi kuye, “Ngubani owapha umuntu umlomo? Ngubani omenza abe yisacuthe loba abe yisimungulu? Ngubani omenza abone loba abe yisiphofu? Akusimi uThixo na?
12 Nolaila, o hele, a owau pu no me kou waha, e ao aku ana ia oe i ka mea au e olelo aku ai.
Ngakho hamba, ngizakusiza ukuthi ukhulume njalo ngikufundise lokuthi uthini.”
13 I aku la ia, E kuu Haku e, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoouna aku oe ma ka lima o ka mea au e hoouna aku ai.
Kodwa uMosi wathi, “Oh Thixo, ngicela uthume omunye ukuthi ayekwenza lokhu.”
14 Wela mai la ka inaina o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la kela, Aole anei ke kaikuaana ou o Aarona ka Levi? Ua ike no au e hiki no ia ia ke olelo; aia hoi ke hele mai nei ia e halawai me oe: aia ike mai kela ia oe, e olioli auanei oia ma kona naau.
UThixo wathukuthela, ulaka lwakhe lwavutha kuMosi, wathi, “Umfowenu u-Aroni, ongumLevi ke? Ngiyazi ukuthi uyenelisa ukukhuluma kuhle. Uvele usendleleni ukuzahlangana lawe, njalo inhliziyo yakhe izathokoza ukukubona.
15 Nau e olelo aku ia ia, a e waiho aku i na hua ma kona waha; a owau pu no me kou waha, a me kona waha, a e ao aku ia olua i ka olua mea e hana'i.
Uzakhuluma laye ufake amazwi emlonyeni wakhe. Ngizaliphathisa lobabili ukuthi likhulume njalo ngizalifundisa ukuthi lenzeni.
16 A oia no kou mea nana e olelo aku i na kanaka: a e lilo no oia i waha nou, a o oe hoi nona e like me ke Akua.
Yena uzakukhulumela ebantwini, njalo kuzakuba sengani nguye ongumlomo wakho njalo kube angani wena unguNkulunkulu kuye.
17 E lawe pu aku oe i keia kookoo maloko o kou lima, i mea e hana aku ai i na hoailona.
Kodwa phatha intonga le esandleni sakho ukuze wenze izimangaliso ngayo.”
18 Alaila hele aku la o Mose a hoi aku la io Ietero la i kona makuahonowaikane, i aku la ia ia, E hele paha au, a hoi hou i o'u poe hoahanau aia ma Aigupita, i ike ai au i ko iakou ola ana. I mai la o Ietero ia Mose, O hele oe me ka maluhia.
UMosi wasebuyela kuyisezala uJethro wathi kuye, “Bengicela ukubuyela ebantwini bakithi eGibhithe ukuthi ngiyebona kumbe balokhu besaphilile.” UJethro wathi kuye, “Hamba kuhle.”
19 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose ma Midiana, E hele oe, a e hoi hou i Aigupita, no ka mea, ua make na kanaka a pau, ka poe i imi e lawe i kou ola.
UThixo wayethe kuMosi eMidiyani, “Buyela eGibhithe, ngoba bonke abantu ababefuna ukukubulala sebafa.”
20 Lawe ae la o Mose i kana wahine, a me kana mau keikikane, a hoonoho aku la ia lakou maluna o ka hoki, a hoi aku la ia i ka aina o Aigupita. A lawe pu aku la o Mose i ke kookoo o ke Akua maloko o kona lima.
Ngakho uMosi wathatha umkakhe kanye lamadodana akhe, wabakhweza kubabhemi waqala uhambo lokubuyela eGibhithe. Wathatha intonga kaNkulunkulu wayiphatha ngesandla.
21 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, I kou hele ana aku e hoi i Aigupita, e ao oe, e hana aku imua o Parao i na hana mana a pau a'u i waiho ai maloko o kou lima: a na'u no e hoopaakiki i kona naau, i hookuu ole ai ia i na kanaka.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ekubuyeleni kwakho eGibhithe, bona ukuthi uyazenza zonke izimangaliso engikuphe amandla okuba uzenze phambi kukaFaro. Kodwa ngizakwenza inhliziyo yakhe ibe lukhuni ukuba angabavumeli abantu ukuthi basuke.
22 E olelo aku oe ia Parao, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, O Iseraela no ka'u keikikane, o ka'u hiapo hoi;
Uzakuthi kuFaro, ‘uThixo uthi u-Israyeli yindodana yami elizibulo,
23 Ke olelo aku nei au ia oe, E hookuu oe i ka'u keiki, i malama mai ia ia'u: a ina e hoole mai oe i kona hookuuia, aia hoi, e pepehi aku no au i kau keikikane, i kau hiapo hoi.
njalo ngakutshela ngathi, “Vumela indodana yami ihambe, ukuze iyengikhonza.” Kodwa wena wala ukuyivumela ukuba ihambe; ngakho ngizabulala indodana yakho elizibulo.’”
24 A hiki mai hoi ia ma ke ala, maloko o ka halekipa, halawai mai la o Iehova me ia, a imi iho la e pepehi ia ia.
Kwathi besesendleleni, endlini yezihambi, uThixo wahlangana loMosi wafuna ukumbulala.
25 Lalau aku la o Zipora i pahi, a okipoepoe iho la i ka omaka o kana keikikane, a hoolei iho la ma kona mau wawae, i mai la, He kane koko oe na'u.
Kodwa uZiphora wayisoka indodana yakhe, wathatha isikhumba sakhona wasethinta inyawo zikaMosi ngaso. Wathi, “Impela wena ungumyeni wegazi.”
26 Hookuu iho la oia ia ia. Alaila olelo ae la ia, He kane koko oe no ke okipoepoe ana.
Ngakho uThixo wamyekela. (Ngalesosikhathi uZiphora wathi “umyeni wegazi,” esitsho ukusoka.)
27 I mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, E hele oe e halawai me Mose ma ka waonahele. Hele aku la ia, a halawai iho la ma ke kuahiwi o ke Akua, a honi ae la ia ia.
UThixo wathi ku-Aroni, “Hamba uye enkangala uhlangabezane loMosi.” Ngakho wasuka wayahlangana loMosi entabeni kaThixo wamanga.
28 Hai ae la o Mose ia Aarona i na olelo a pau a Iehova, nana ia i hoouna mai, a me na ouli a pau ana i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
UMosi wamtshela u-Aroni konke uThixo ayemthume ukuthi akutsho, njalo langazo zonke izibonakaliso ezimangalisayo ayemlaye ukuba azenze.
29 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona, hoakoakoa iho la laua i na lunakahiko a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
UMosi lo-Aroni bahamba bafika baqoqa bonke abadala bako-Israyeli,
30 Hai aku la o Aarona i na olelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose; a hana iho la ia i na ouli imua o na maka o kanaka.
u-Aroni wasebatshela konke uThixo ayekutshele uMosi. Wenza lezibonakaliso phambi kwabantu,
31 Manaoio iho la no hoi na kanaka: a lohe pono no lakou, ua ike mai o Iehova i ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a ua nana mai hoi oia i ko lakou popilikia, alaila kulou iho la ko lakou poo, a hoomana aku la.
bakholwa. Kwathi besizwa ukuthi uThixo uyabakhathalela, njalo wayelubonile usizi lwabo, bakhothama phansi bamkhonza.
