4 Mose 14

1 Ana maka vahe kevu'moza ana nanekema antahite'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ana kenagera tusi zavi ate'naze.

Ngalobobusuku abantu bonke emphakathini baphakamisa amazwi abo bakhala kakhulu.

2 Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosesene, Aronikiznia keha' reznante'za maka vahe'mo'za anage huznante'naze, Tagra Isipima mani'neta frunte'sina knare hisine! Nahanigeta ama ka'ma hagege mopafina frigahune!

Bonke abako-Israyeli bakhonona besola uMosi lo-Aroni, lonke ibandla lathi kubo, “Ngabe sahle sazifela eGibhithe, kumbe khonapha enkangala!

3 Ra Anumzamo'a ama moparera kazinknonu tahe frihogu tavreno e'nefi? A'nene, mofavretinena tahe'za hanaresagi, eteta Isipima vanunkeno'a knare hugahie?

Kungani uThixo esilethe kulelilizwe ukuthi sife sibulawa ngenkemba na? Amakhosikazi ethu kanye labantwabethu bazakuba yimpango. Kambe kakungcono yini ukuthi sibuyele eGibhithe na?”

4 Zamagra zamagra ke ohumi ahumi hu'za anage hu'naze, tagra'a tavesite mago kva ne' azeri otisunkeno, ete tavreno Isipi mopare vanie!

Bakhulumisana besithi, “Asikhetheni omunye umkhokheli asibuyisele eGibhithe.”

5 Anante Mosese'ene Aronikea maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamufi zanavugosaregati mopafi mase'na'e.

Ngakho uMosi lo-Aroni bathi mbo ngobuso phansi phambi kwabantu bako-Israyeli bonke ababebuthene lapho.

6 Ana hakeno Nun nemofo Josua'ene, Jefune nemofo Kalepike, zanagra ana mopa vu'ne ome ke'na'a netre'moke, kukenaznia vararo varuru nehu'ne,

Kwathi uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye loKhalebi indodana kaJefune, ababengabanye balabo ababeyehlola ilizwe, badabula izigqoko zabo

7 amanage hu'ne maka Israeli vahe kevua zamasmi'na'e, Ana mopama ome ke'nona mopamo'a knare zantfa hu'ne.

bathi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli ababebuthene, “Ilizwe esadabula kulo salihlola lihle kakhulu.

8 Ra Anumzamo'ma muse (plis) hurantesuno'a, henka tagrira ana mopare tavreno vuno, ami rine tumemofo rimo'ene avite'nea mopa ome tamigahie.

Nxa uThixo ethokoza ngathi, uzasikhokhelela kulo, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, njalo uzakusinika lona.

9 Ra Anumzamofo kea magore huta ru ha'ontagiho. Ana mopafima nemaniza vaheku'enena korera osiho, zamagra tagri nezasegahaze. Zamagri'ma refiteno kegava krizmante'nea zana eri atregahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'neanki zamagrikura korera osiho,

Kuphela nje lingamhlamukeli uThixo. Futhi lingabesabi abantu bakulelolizwe, ngoba sizabadla sibaqede. Kabaselaso isivikelo, kodwa uThixo ulathi. Lingabesabi.”

10 Hianagi ana maka vahe'mo'za have kano eri'za zanahe fri'za nehazageno, anante Ra Anumzamofo msazamo seli mono nonte eramino Israeli vahe zamavuga efore hige'za ke'naze.

Kodwa ibandla wonke wathi kabakhandwe ngamatshe. Inkazimulo kaThixo yasibonakala kubo bonke abako-Israyeli ethenteni lokuhlangana.

11 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne. Nama'a zupa ama vahe'mo'za Nagrira zamagena hunenami'za, zamesi nonantaze? Nenagage'na maka kaguvaza amu'no zamifi eri fore hu'noa zankura, Nagrikura zamentintia nosazo?

UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Koze kube nini abantu laba bengeyisa na? Kuzaze kube nini bengangikholwa, loba sengenze izinto ezimangalisayo phakathi kwabo na?

12 Nagra kri atrena zamahe fanane nehu'na, Mosesega naga ka'afinti kazeri ra ha'nena zamagatere'za hanave'nentake vahe fore hu'za, Israeli vahera zamagatere'za manigahaze.

Ngizabatshaya ngomkhuhlane ngibabhubhise, kodwa wena ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu njalo esilamandla kulabo.”

13 Hu'neanagi Mosese'a ana kemofo nona'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno asmi'ne, ana kea Isipi vahe'mo'za antahigahaze, na'ankure Kagra hanavefi ama vahera, Isipi vahe amu'no zamifinti zamarenka e'nane.

UMosi wasesithi kuThixo, “AmaGibhithe azakuzwa lokhu! Abantu laba bakhutshwa nguwe phakathi kwabo ngamandla akho.

14 Isipi Kenani mopafima nemaniza vahera zamasamigahaze. Kagrama Ra Anumzamoka ama vahe amuno zamifima nemaninana, zamagra hago antahi'naze. Kagra Ra Anumzamoka zamufinti negagazagenka Kagra hamponu refite nezmantenka, Kagra Israeli vahe'mokizmi vugotezmantenka vimago hampompi nevunka, zagefina refite nezmantenka, hanimpina ana vimago hampompintira teve anefa hunka remsa huzmantenka nevane.

Ngakho bazatshela abakhileyo kulelilizwe ngalesisehlakalo. Bavele sebezwile ukuthi wena, Oh Thixo, ulabo lababantu njalo lokuthi wena, Thixo, ubonakale uqondene labo ubuso ngobuso, lokuthi iyezi lakho lihlala liphezu kwabo, njalo lokuthi uhamba phambi kwabo ngensika yeyezi lakho emini kuthi ebusuku ngensika yomlilo.

15 Menima Kagrama, magoke vahe aheaza hunkama ama vahe'zaga zamahe sanke'za, maka ama mopama megaginefinti Kagri kagenkema nentahi'za vahe'mo'za amanage hugahaze,

Pho ungababhubhisa abantu bonke laba ngasikhathi sinye, izizwe esezizwile ngalezizindaba ngawe zizakuthi,

16 Ra Anumzamo huhampri zamanteno huvempa huzmante'nea mopare zamavareno vugara osuno, ka'ma mopafi zamahe fanane hie hu'za hugahaze.

‘UThixo wehlulekile ukungenisa abantu laba elizweni abathembisa lona ngesifungo; ngakho usebabhubhisele enkangala.’

17 Hianagi menina, nagra nunamu hue, Kagrama hunana kere, Ra Anumzamoka atregeno hihamu hanavekamo'a eama hino.

Amandla kaThixo kabonakaliswe khathesi, njengokutsho kwakho ukuthi:

18 Ra Anumzamofo rimpa ahe'zamo'a ame huno oranotigeno, rimpa fru huno avesinte zamo'a mareri avitegeno, kumi'ene kefozantine eri atre'nerante. Hianagi aza'o kasege'ama agatere'simofona, kumi'mofo nona'a nezmafanteti vuno, nemofonte vuteno henkama fore'ma hu anante anantema huno 3'o 4'a vahe'enema fore hu anante anante'ma hanaza vahete ana havizamo'a meno vugahie.

‘UThixo uyaphuza ukuthukuthela, ugcwele ngothando njalo uyathethelela isono lokuhlamuka. Kodwa kayikubayekela abalecala bengajeziswanga; ujezisa abantwana ngenxa yezono zaboyise kuze kube kusizukulwane sesithathu lesesine.’

19 Kagra vagaore kavesizanka'agu nentahinka nunamu huanki kumi'zmi ama vahera atrezmanto. Ama vahe'ma Isipima mani'nagenka Kagrama kumizamima eri atrenka menima e'nana kna hunka eri atre zamanto.

Thethelela isono salababantu, ngenxa yothando lwakho olukhulu, ubaxolele njengokubaxolela kwakho kusukela ngesikhathi abasuka ngaso eGibhithe kuze kube khathesi.”

20 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne, Nagra kema nasmi'naza hu'na kumi'zmia eri atre zamantegahue.

UThixo waphendula wathi, “Sengibathethelele njengesicelo sakho.

21 Hianagi tamage hu'na Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Anumzamo'na huankino, Ra Anumzamo'na hihamune, msazamo e'nena maka mopafi vuno eno huno avitegahie.

Impela njengoba ngiphila, lanjengoba inkazimulo kaThixo igcwalise umhlaba wonke,

22 Tamage hu'za maka vahe'mo'za Nagri masane kaguvazana Isipine, ka'ma hagege mopafine eri fore huge'za nege'zagi, anazankura ontahi'za 10ni'a zupa Nagrira renahe'za nege'za, Nagri kemofona amagera onte'naze.

akulamuntu loyedwa owabona inkazimulo yami kanye lezibonakaliso zezimanga engazenza eGibhithe lasenkangala kodwa kaze angilalela njalo wangilinga okungaba ngamahlandla alitshumi,

23 Ana hu'nazagu tamage hu'za nezmafama huvempa hu'na Nagrani'a zami'noa mopa, namefiga'a ke nehazamo'za onke'tfa hugahaze.

akukho loyedwa wabo ozalibona ilizwe engalithembisa okhokho babo ngesifungo. Futhi kakho loyedwa ongidelelayo ozalibona.

24 Hianagi Nagri eri'za ne' Kalepi'a kegahie. Na'ankure agripina ruzahu avamu me'negeno maka agu'areti huno Nagrira maka zampina namage ante'negu ana mopare Nagra avre'na vanugeno, ana mopa agehe'za eri nafa'a hugahaze.

Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi inceku yami uKhalebi ulomoya owehlukileyo njalo ungilandela ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, ngizamngenisa elizweni afika kulo, lizakuba yilifa lezizukulwane zakhe.

25 Menia Ameleki vahe'ene Kenani vahe'mo'za ana aguporamimpina mani'nazagu, okina rukre hunka ka'ma hagage mopafi ru kitaginka Koranke Hageri me'nerega vuo.

Njengoba ama-Amaleki lamaKhenani ehlala ezigodini, lina phendukani kusasa liqonde enkangala ngendlela yasoLwandle oLubomvu.”

26 Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Mosesene, Aronikizni znasami'ne,

UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni:

27 Nama'a zupa ama'i kumike vea kevumo'za, Nagri'ma huhaviza hunenantaza vahe'mokizmi knazana erigahue? Israeli vahe'mo'za Nagri'ma hunenantaza kea nentahue.

“Koze kube nini lababantu abangalunganga bekhonona bengisola na? Sengizwile ukusola lokukhonona kwabako-Israyeli.

28 Menina zamasmio, tamage hu'na kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na nehue, nagesa kami'nogenka hankena antahuankina inankna zanku'ma hana zana amne hugahue.

Ngakho batshele uthi, ‘Njengoba ngiphila impela, kutsho uThixo, ngizakwenza kini zona lezozinto engilizwe lizikhuluma.

29 Kagrama hampri'nana vahe'ene, maka 20'a kafureti mareri anagate'nesia vahe'ene, Nagri'ma namefi'age hu'nesaza vahe'mo'za ka'ma hagege mopafi fregahaze.

Izidumbu zenu zizagcwala enkangala yonale, lina lonke elabalwayo ngesikhathi sokubalwa kwabantu elileminyaka yokuzalwa engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu labo bonke abakade bekhonona bengisola.

30 Tamage huvempa hurmante'na tamagri tamamigahuema hu'noa mopafina ovugahaze. Hianagi Jefune nemofo Kalepi'ene Nuni nemofo Josuake, zanagrake vugaha'e.

Kakho loyedwa wenu ozangena elizweni engafunga ngokuphakamisa isandla ukuthi libe likhaya lenu, ngaphandle kukaKhalebi indodana kaJefune loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.

31 Hianagi tamagrama huta, mofavreti zamahe fanane hugahaze huta koro'ma hu'naza mopare, ana mofavremokizmi Nagra zamavare'na vanuge'za, i'oma hu'naza mopa ome erigahaze.

Mayelana labantwana benu labo elathi bazakuba yimpango, ngizabangenisa elizweni lelo elilalileyo ukuze bathokoze kulo.

32 Hagi tamagra, ama ka'ma hagage mopafi frigahaze!

Kodwa lina, izidumbu zenu zizawohlokela kule inkangala.

33 Hagi tamagrama Nagri kemofo amage onte'naza nona'a, mofavretmimo'za ama ka'ma hagage mopafi 40'a kafufina knazana eri'za vano nehu'za, anama maka'mo'za ama ka'ma hagage kokampi frigahaze.

Abantwabenu bazakuba ngabelusi lapha okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, behlupheka ngenxa yokungathembeki kwenu, kuze kungcwatshwe isidumbu sokucina enkangala.

34 Zamagrama ana mopafi 40'a zagegnafi vano nehu'za oku'a afure'za kenazankna huta, kumi'tmimofo nona mago mago knamo'a mago mago kafu huvame hanigeta, 40'a kafufi knazana erita vano hugahaze. Nagrama hurmantesua navu'navara kegahaze.

Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, umnyaka munye umele usuku lunye elahlola ngalo ilizwe, lizahlupheka ngenxa yezono zenu lize lazi ukuthi kuyinto enjani nxa mina ngimelana lani.’

35 Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na kea nehue, kumike vahe'mo'za atru hu'za Nagri'ma hu haviza nehazana tamage hu'na kna zamigahue. Ama ka'ma hagage mopafi zamazeri haviza ha'nena fri hana hugahaze.

Mina Thixo, sengikhulumile, njalo ngempela ngizazenza lezizinto ebantwini laba bonke, abamanyeneyo bemelana lami. Bazabhubha kuyonale inkangala; bazafela khonapha.”

36 Mosese'ma huzmantege'za oku'a vu'za mopa ome afure'za kete'za e'naza vahe'mo'za maka vahe kevu havige eme zamasmi'naze.

Ngakho amadoda ayethunywe nguMosi ukuthi ayehlola ilizwe, lawo athi ekuphendukeni kwawo amemethekisa umbiko omubi owabangela ukuthi abantu bakhonone besola uMosi,

37 Hagi mopa afureho huno huzmantege'za vute'za, ete eza havige eme hu'naza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a kri atregeno zamahe fri'ne.

lawomadoda amemethekisa umbiko ongalunganga mayelana lelizwe atshaywa ngomkhuhlane afa phambi kukaThixo.

38 Hianagi huzamantege'za vuza mopama ome afure'za ome kete'za e'naza nagapintira, Nun nemofo Josuane, Jefune nemofo Kalepikizni znatregeke zanagrake mani'na'e.

Emadodeni ayeyehlola ilizwe, kwasila kuphela uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye loKhalebi indodana kaJefune.

39 Mosese'ma ana kema Israeli vahe'ma nezmasmige'za, vahe kevumo'za tusiza hu'za zavira nete'za zamasunku hu'naze.

Kwathi lapho uMosi esebikele bonke abako-Israyeli, bakhala kabuhlungu.

40 Hianagi ame' nanterampi oti'za mika'zazimia tro hu'za agonarega mareri'za nevu'za anage hu'naze, Tagra ama one, tamage kumi' hu'nonanagi, Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri tante'nea moparega vugahune.

Ngosuku olulandelayo ekuseni kakhulu baqonda elizweni lamaqaqa. Bathi, “Sonile, sizakuya kuleyondawo esayithenjiswa nguThixo.”

41 Hagi Mosese'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Tamagri antahizamo'a eri'zana e'origahie. Tamagra Ra Anumzamofo ke ruha'nentagize.

Kodwa uMosi wathi kubo, “Kungani lingalaleli umlayo kaThixo na? Lokhu elikwenzayo akusoze kuphumelele!

42 Anantega Anumzamo'a tamagranena ovanigeno ha' vahetamimo'za tamahegahazanki tamagra mareorigahaze.

Lingakhuphuki, ngoba uThixo kalisekeli. Lizakwehlulwa yizitha zenu,

43 Tamagri ha' vahe'mo'za Ameleki vahe'ene Kenani vahe'mo'zatamavuga mani'nazeanki'za kazinknonteti tamahegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamofo ke'a tamefi hunte'naza nona'a, Ra Anumzamo'a tamagra'nena ovugahie.

ngoba lizaqondana lama-Amaleki kanye lamaKhenani khonale. Ngenxa yokuthi limhlamukele uThixo, yena kayikuba lani ngakho lizabhujiswa ngenkemba.”

44 Hianagi mago'a Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosese kea eri amne nehu'za, agonarega mareri'za vu'naze. Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'a anampi me'negeno, Mosese'enena kumara atreno ovu'ne.

Loba kunjalo, baqhubeka beqonde elizweni lamaqaqa benganakile, loba uMosi kumbe umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo kungasukanga ezihonqweni.

45 Hagi Ameleki vahe'ene Kenani vahe'ma ana agona mopafi nemaniza vahe'mo'za erami'za zamahe'za zamarotgo hazage'za fre'za Homa kumate ehanati'naze.

Ngakho ama-Amaleki lamaKhenani ayehlala kulelolizwe lamaqaqa ehla abahlasela, ababhuqa ebaxotsha baze bayafika eHoma.
