1 Ana ikamo'ma 24ma hiankna zupa Israeli veamo'za ne'zana a'o nehu'za, hapa frete'za eri tru hu'naze.

2 Hagi ana Israeli vahe'mo'zama megi'a vahe'enema rutrago'ma ate'nazana, ana vahera zamatre'za e'naze. Ana nehu'za oti'za kumi'zamigura zamasunku nehu'za, korapa zamagehe'zama hu'naza havi zamavu zamava zanku'enena zamasunku hu'naze.

Basebesukuma endaweni yabo yokuma, bafunda egwalweni lomlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo ingxenye yesine yosuku; njalo ngengxenye yesine bavuma futhi bakhonza iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.

4 Hanki Livae naga'mo'zama manisga hu'nezama nenekema nehaza tratera, Jesua'ma Bani'ma Katmieli'ma Sebania'ma Buni'ene Kenani'ma hu'za ana tratera mani'ne'za ranke hu'za Ra Anumzana zamagra'a Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'naze.

Lezikhwelweni zamaLevi kwakumi oJeshuwa, loBani, uKadimiyeli, uShebaniya, uBuni, uSherebiya, uBani, uKenani; bamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo.

Hagi Ra Anumzamoka so'e Kagika'a ahentesga hune, tagrama keagafinti'ma huta e'inahu Anumza mani'nanema huta hu'zamo'a amuho hie.

AmaLevi, oJeshuwa, loKadimiyeli, uBani, uHashabineya, uSherebiya, uHodiya, uShebaniya, uPethahiya basebesithi: Sukumani libusise iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu kusukela ephakadeni kuze kube nininini; kalibusiswe ibizo lakho elilodumo eliphakanyiswe phezu kwaso sonke isibusiso lendumiso.

6 Kagrake Ra Anumzana mani'nane, Kagra monaramina tro nehunka, anazanke hunka onaga'ama me'nea monaramina tro nehunka, hanafi taminena tro hu'nane.

Ana hu'nanke'za hampriga osu ankerontamima monafinkama mani'naza ankeromo'za zamare'nare'za Kagia ahentesga nehaze.

Nguwe oyiNkosi wena wedwa, wena wenza amazulu, izulu lamazulu lalo lonke ibutho lawo, umhlaba lakho konke okukuwo, izinlwandle lakho konke okukuzo, wena uyagcina konke kuphila; lebutho lamazulu liyakukhonza.

Wena uyiNkosi uNkulunkulu, owakhetha uAbrama wamkhupha eUri yamaKhaladiya, wenza ibizo lakhe laba nguAbrahama;

8 Na'ankure agra maka agu'areti fatgo huno kavesigantegenka Kagra agrira hu hagerafi huvempage huntenka, kagripinti'ma henkama forehu nante anante'ma hu'za esaza vahera, Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Perizi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ene Girgasi vahe'mokizmi mopa zamigahue hunka hunte'nane. Kagra fatgo Anumza mani'nanku, huvempama hu'nana keka'a eri otre'nane.

wafica inhliziyo yakhe ithembekile phambi kwakho, wenza laye isivumelwano sokunika ilizwe lamaKhanani, amaHethi, amaAmori, lamaPerizi, lamaJebusi, lamaGirigashi, ukulinika inzalo yakhe; uwamisile amazwi akho, ngoba ulungile.

Wabona ukuhlupheka kwabobaba eGibhithe, wezwa ukukhala kwabo ngasoLwandle oluBomvu,

10 Kagra ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazane avamezane hunka Feronte'ene eri'za vahe'are'ene ana maka Isipima mani'naza vahe'enena zamazeri haviza hu'nane. Na'ankure zamagrama Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri havizantfama hazazanku anara hu'nane. Ana nehunka Kagia erinte ama hu'nankeno, vahe'mo'za meninena Kagia ahentesga nehaze.

wenza izibonakaliso lezimangaliso kuFaro lakuzo zonke inceku zakhe lakubo bonke abantu belizwe lakhe, ngoba wazi ukuthi baziphatha ngokuzigqaja kubo; njalo wazenzela ibizo njengalamuhla.

11 Zamagra negazagenke hagerina refko hugantigama hankeno, amu'nompina ka fore hige'za hagege mopare vu'naze. Hianagi zamarotgoma hu'za aza vahera havema hiaza hunka timo'ma hankavemanetifi zamazeri atranke'za urami'naze.

Wehlukanisa ulwandle phambi kwabo ukuze bachaphe phakathi kolwandle emhlabathini owomileyo; wasuphosela ababaxotshayo ezinzikini njengelitshe emanzini alamandla.

12 Ferura hampompi mani'nenka vugota huzmantenka vu'nane. Hagi kenagera tevenefake hampompi mani'nenka, remsa huzmantenka kana zamaveri hanke'za vu'naze.

Wasubakhokhela ngensika yeyezi emini langensika yomlilo ebusuku ukubakhanyisela indlela abazahamba ngayo.

13 Hagi Sainai agonarera eraminka monafintira kea hunezaminka, fatgo huno knare'ma hu'nea tra ke'ne, kasegenena Kagra zami'nane.

Wehlela phezu kwentaba yeSinayi, wakhuluma labo usemazulwini, wabanika izahlulelo eziqondileyo, lemilayo eqotho, izimiso lemilayezelo elungileyo,

14 Kagra ruotage'ma hu'nea Sabati knaka'a zamagritera emeri ante ama' nehunka, amage anteho hunka tra kene kasegeka'a, eri'za vaheka'a Mosesena ami'nane. (Eks-Uti 20:8)

wabazisa isabatha lakho elingcwele, wabalaya imilayo, lezimiso, lomthetho, ngesandla sikaMozisi inceku yakho.

15 Ne'zama ne'zanku'ma zamaga'ma netegenka monafinkati bretia nezaminka, tinku'ma zamavenesigenka, tina hankeno havefinti ege'za ne'naze. Hagi huvempama huzamantenka zamigahue hunkama hu'nana mopafi ufre'za erisanti hare'za mani'naze. Hanki tina omne'nege'za tinku zamave'nesigenka knare hunka havefinti tina erifore huzmi'nanke'za ne'naze.

Wabanika isinkwa esivela emazulwini ekulambeni kwabo, lamanzi edwaleni wabakhuphela wona ekomeni kwabo; wabatshela ukuthi bazangena badle ilifa lelizwe owaphakamisa isandla sakho ukubanika lona.

16 Hianagi tagehe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehazageno zamagu'amo'a hanavetige'za, kagri kasegea amagera onte'naze.

Kodwa bona labobaba baziphatha ngokuzigqaja, benza lukhuni intamo yabo, kabayilalelanga imilayo yakho.

17 Zamagra keka'a zamagesa ante'za nontahi'za, zamagri amunompima kaguva zantamima eri fore'ma hu'nana zankura zamagane kani'naze. Ana nehu'za zamefi hugami'za kea nontahi'za, ete kazokzo eri'zampi Isipi vanune hu'za mago kva ne' azeri oti'naze. Hianagi Kagra kumi atrente Anumza mani'nenka, kasunku hunezmantenka krimpa fru Anumza mani'nanankinka, kasunku hunezmantenka so'e kavukva nehunka, ame hunka krimpa ohenka mevava kavesizanu vahera kavesinentana Anumza mani'nane. E'ina hu'negu zamefira Kagra huozami'nane.

Yebo, bala ukulalela, kabakhumbulanga izimangaliso zakho owazenza kubo; kodwa bazenza lukhuni intamo yabo, lekuvukeleni kwabo bamisa induna ukuze babuyele ebugqilini babo. Kodwa wena unguNkulunkulu wezintethelelo, olomusa, lesihawu, ophuza ukuthukuthela, lowande ngothando, kawubatshiyanga.

18 Hagi Sainai agonafima mani'ne'za goli eri'za bulimakoa tro hu'za anange hu'naze, ama anumzana tagri anumzane hu'za nehu'za, Isipitima tavre'noma e'nea anumzane hu'za hu'naze. Ana nehu'za Anumzamoka kagi'a eri haviza hu'naze.

Lalapho sebezenzele ithole elibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa bathi: Lo nguNkulunkulu wakho, owakwenyusa eGibhithe, benza ukuhlambaza okukhulu,

19 Hianagi tusi'a kasunku huzmantenka hagege kokampina kamefira huzminka zamatranke'za ofri'naze. Feru'ma kama zamaveri huno nevia hampomo'a zamatreno ovigeno, kenage'ma remsa huno kama zamaveri'ma huno nevia teve nefake hampomo'a asura osu'ne.

kodwa wena ngezihawu zakho ezinengi kawubatshiyanga enkangala; insika yeyezi kayisukanga kubo emini, ukubakhokhela endleleni, lensika yomlilo ebusuku, ukubakhanyisela lendlela abazahamba ngayo.

20 Kagra knare Avamuka'a huntankeno antahintahia zami'ne. Kagra mana ne'zana zaminke'za nevava nehazagenka, tinku'ma hagegema hazagenka tina zaminke'za ne'naze. (Eks-Uti 16, 17:1-7)

Wabanika umoya wakho omuhle ukubafundisa, lemana yakho kawuyigodlanga emlonyeni wabo, wabanika amanzi ekomeni kwabo.

21 Hanki 40'a kafumofo agu'afina hagege kokampina kegava huzmante'nanke'za mago zankura atupara osu'naze. Kukena zamimo'a tagato tagutura osigeno, zamagamo'a zoreno prora osu'ne. (Diu-Kas 8:4)

Yebo, iminyaka engamatshumi amane wabondla enkangala, kabaswelanga lutho; izigqoko zabo kaziguganga, lenyawo zabo kazivuvukanga.

22 Kagra zamaza hanke'za kini vahera hara hu zamagtere'za afete'ma mani'naza vahe mopazamia eri'naze. E'ina hu'negu Hesboni kini ne' Sihoni mopane Basani kini ne' Ogi mopanena eri nafa'a hu'naze.

Wasebanika imibuso lezizwe, wababela kwaze kwaba semagumbini; njalo badla ilifa lelizwe likaSihoni lelizwe lenkosi yeHeshiboni lelizwe likaOgi inkosi yeBashani.

23 Ana nehunka zamagrira tusi mofavre naga zaminke'za, monafi hanafikna hazage'za hamprigara osu'naze. Ana nehunka zamafahe'ima huhampri zmante'nana mopafi zamavarenka ufre'nane.

Wandisa abantwana babo njengenkanyezi zamazulu, wabangenisa elizweni owawutshele oyise ukuthi bazangena badle ilifa lalo.

24 Hagi zamagehemo'za ufre'za Kenani mopa ome eri nafa'a hu'naze. Kagra zamaza hanke'za Kenani mopafima nemaniza vahera zamavaretre'naze. Kini vahe'zamine, ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene Kenani vahe'enena zamazampi zamavare antanke'za, nazanoma huzamanteku'ma hazazana amne huzamante'naze.

Sebengenile abantwana babo badla ilifa lelizwe; wehlisela phansi phambi kwabo abahlali belizwe, amaKhanani, wabanikela esandleni sabo, lamakhosi abo, labantu belizwe, ukuze benze ngabo ngokwentando yabo.

25 Hagi hankavenentake keginama hu'naza ranra kumatamine, knare zantfama hu'nea mopanena hahu'za eneri'za, knare'nare zantamimo'ma avite'nea nontamine, ko'ma kafinte'naza tinkerinena eri nafa'a nehu'za, waini hozane, olivi zafa hozane, mago'a zafa raga hozanena rama'a eri nafa'a hu'naze. Zamagra tusi ne'za nene'za afovage nehu'za, tusi'a asomu'ma zamina zankura musenkase hu'naze.

Basebethumba imizi ebiyelweyo, lelizwe elivundileyo, badla ilifa lezindlu ezigcwele konke okuhle, imithombo egejiweyo, izivini, lezivande zemihlwathi, lezihlahla zezithelo ngobunengi. Badla-ke basutha, bazimuka, bazithokozisa ngokuhle kwakho okukhulu.

26 Hianagi zamagra keka'a nontahi'za ha' renegante'za, kasegeka'a zamefi humi'naze. Kagritegama ete rukrahe hu'za ehogu'ma hankave keagama zamasami'za kasnampa vaheka'a zamahe fri'naze. Ana nehu'za Kagri kagia tusiza hu'za huhaviza hu'naze.

Kube kanti kabalalelanga, bakuvukela wena, bawuphosela umlayo wakho emva komhlana wabo, babulala abaprofethi bakho abafakaza bemelene labo ukubaphendulela kuwe, benza ukuhlambaza okukhulu.

27 E'ina hu'nazagu ha' vahe'zami zamazampi zamavare antanke'za zamazeri haviza hu'naze. Hagi zamagrama zamatama e'neri'za, Kagritega krafage hazagenka monafinkati antahinezaminka, tusi kasuntagi zamantenka zamagu'ma vazi vahera huzmantanke'za e'za ha' vahe zamazampintira eme zamagu vazi'naze.

Ngakho wabanikela esandleni sezitha zabo ezabahluphayo; kwathi ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo bakhala kuwe, wena-ke wezwa usemazulwini; langokwezisa zakho ezinengi wabanika abasindisi ababasindisa esandleni sezitha zabo.

28 Hianagi zamagrama mani fruma nehu'za, Kagri kavurera havi'zama hu'nea avu'ava zana ete hu'naze. Anama hazagenka zamatranke'za ha' vahezamimo'za kegava huzmantage'za ete Kagritegama krafagema hazagenka, Kagra monafinkati krafa ke'zamia nentahinka kasunku huzmantenka, maka zupa zamavaretere hu'nane.

Kodwa sebephumulile benza okubi futhi phambi kwakho; ngakho wabatshiya esandleni sezitha zabo zaze zababusa; sebebuyile bakhala kuwe, wena wezwa usemazulwini; wabakhulula ngokwezisa zakho izikhathi ezinengi.

29 Hagi zamagrama rukrahe hu'za kasegeka'a amage antehogura hankave ke huzmante'nane. Hianagi zamavufaga ra nehu'za zamarimpamo'a hankavetige'za, keka'a ontahi'naze. Ana nehu'za vahe'mo'zama amage'ma ante'za so'e huzama maniga tra keka'a zamefi hunemi'za kumi hu'naze. Zamarimpamo'a hankavenetige'za zamefi hunegami'za, haviza hu'za keka'a amagera onte'naze.

Wafakaza umelene labo ukuze ubenze babuyele emlayweni wakho; kube kanti bona baziphatha ngokuzigqaja, kabayilalelanga imilayo yakho, kodwa bemelene lezahlulelo zakho bona bemelene lazo (okuthi umuntu ezenza uzaphila ngazo), banika ihlombe lobuqholo, benza lukhuni intamo yabo, kabaze balalela.

30 Hanki rama'a kafufina akohenka fru hunezmantankeno Avamuka'amo'a kasnampa vahe zamagipi huvazino zamasami'neanagi, ana nanekerera tagehe'za zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze. E'ina hu'negu ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampi zamavare ante'nane.

Wababekezelela iminyaka eminengi, wafakaza umelene labo ngomoya wakho ngesandla sabaprofethi bakho, kodwa kababekanga indlebe. Ngakho wabanikela esandleni sabantu bezizwe.

31 Hianagi tusi'a kasunku hunezmantenka zamahe fananea nosunka, kamefira huozami'nane. Na'ankure Kagra fru hunka kasunku Anumza mani'nane.

Kanti ngezisa zakho ezinengi kawubaqedanga, kawubatshiyanga; ngoba unguNkulunkulu olomusa lesihawu.

32 Hanki e'ina hu'negu tagri Anumzana tusi hihamukane hentofaza hunka hankavenentake Anumza mani'nenka, maka zupa kagrama huvempama hu'nana kegu kagesa nentahinka, kavesirante vava nehana Anumza mani'nane. E'ina hu'negu muse hugantonanki, ko'ma Asiria kini vahe'mo'zama tazeri havizama hu'nareti'ma eno meninte'ma egeta, kini nagatine kva vahetine pristi vahetine kasnampa vahe'ene tafahe'ine, ana maka vaheka'amota tusi'a knazamo eme tazeri havizantfa hu'ne.

Ngakho khathesi, Nkulunkulu wethu, uNkulunkulu omkhulu, olamandla lowesabekayo, ogcina isivumelwano lomusa, kakungabi kuncinyane phambi kwakho ukuhlupheka konke, okusificileyo, amakhosi ethu, iziphathamandla zethu, labapristi bethu, labaprofethi bethu, labobaba, labo bonke abantu bakho, kusukela ensukwini zamakhosi eAsiriya kuze kube lamuhla.

33 Hianagi e'i ana maka knazama tagrite'ma e'nea knafina Kagra fatgo kavukvaza hurante'nane. Hagi tagrama kumi'ma nehunkenka'a, huvempama hu'nana keka'a amage ante fatgo hunka taza hu'nane.

Kodwa ubulungile mayelana lakho konke okusehleleyo, ngoba wenzile ngokuqonda, kodwa thina senze ngobubi.

34 Hagi kini vahetimo'zane kva vahetimo'zane pristi nagatimo'zane, tafahe'mozanena Kagri kasegea amagera onte'naze. Kagrama hihoma hunka huzamante'nana nanekene, koro kema huzamante'nana nanekea zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze.

Lamakhosi ethu, iziphathamandla zethu, abapristi bethu, labobaba bethu kabawenzanga umlayo wakho, kabalalelanga imithetho yakho lezifakazelo zakho owazifakaza umelene labo.

35 Ana hu'nazanagi asomu huzamantenka kini vahera zaminke'za kegava huzamante'naze. Ana nehunka knare huno masavenkema hu'nea ra mopakrerfa zami'nane. Hianagi ana zankura zamagesa nentahi'za, Kagrira monora hunegante'za kefo zamavu zamavama nehaza zana netre'za ete rukrahera hu'za Kagritera ome'naze.

Ngoba bona kabakukhonzanga embusweni wabo lekulungeni kwakho okunengi owabanika khona lemazweni abanzi lavundileyo owawabeka phambi kwabo; njalo kabaphendukanga ezenzweni zabo ezimbi.

36 Hianagi menina knare huno masavenentake mopa tafahe'ina zaminke'za mani'ne'za zafa rgaramine knare'nare ne'zana ne'nazanagi, ama ana mopafina tagra kazokzo eri'za vahe menina mani'none.

Khangela, siyizigqili lamuhla, yebo, ilizwe owalinika obaba ukuthi badle isithelo salo lokuhle kwalo, khangela, siyizigqili kulo.

37 Na'ankure tagra kumi hu'nona nona'a, ru vahe kinima huzamantanke'zama ezama eme kegavama hurante'naza kini vahe'mo'za, mopatifinti'ma knare'nare ne'zama hamarona ne'zana zamagrake'za eri'naze. Hagi tagri'ene afu nagatinena kegava hurante'neza, nazano tagritema hunaku'ma haza zana, amne hu'naze. Ana hazageta tusi'a knazampi mani'none.

Njalo isivuno salo lisandisela amakhosi owabeke phezu kwethu ngenxa yezono zethu; njalo abusa phezu kwemizimba yethu laphezu kwezifuyo zethu ngokwentando yawo; sesisesizini olukhulu.

38 Hanki ama ana zantamima refko'ma huta kevagamareteta, mago tarimpa huta Ra Anumzamofo kasege amage antegahune huta mago kea anakiteta avompi krente'none. Ana hunke'za kva vahetimo'zane Livae nagatimo'zane pristi nagatimo'za ana avomofo agofetura zamagi krentetere hu'za ana avona eri hankaveti'naze.

Langenxa yakho konke lokhu senza isivumelwano esiqinileyo, sisibhala; iziphathamandla zethu, amaLevi ethu, abapristi bethu, basebefaka uphawu phezu kwaso.
