2 “Ngahlukanisela wonke amazibulo esilisa. Konke okuzalwa kuqala phakathi kwabako-Israyeli kungokwami, kungaba ngumuntu loba isifuyo.”
Israeli vahe'mota mika tmagonesa ne' mofavrene, mika zagagafa timimo'zama ese anenta'ma kase zmantesiana, azeri otage hanageno, Nagrike su'za manigahaze.
3 Ngakho uMosi wasesithi ebantwini, “Lugcineni lube lusuku lwesikhumbuzo lolu, ilanga elaphuma ngalo eGibhithe, liphuma elizweni lobugqili, ngoba uThixo walikhupha khona ngamandla amakhulu. Lingadli lutho olulemvubelo.
Anante Mosese'a amanage huno veara zamasmi'ne, kazokzo eri'zama e'nerita kinama hutma Isipi mopare mani'nazareti'ma atiramita e'naza knagura tmagera okaniho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma hanavenentake azanu Isipitira tamavre fegu'a atre'negu, antahimita zore bretia onegahaze.
4 Lamuhla ngenyanga ka-Abhibhi, liyasuka.
Ese ikamofona (Abibie) amana knare tamagra atretma vugahaze.
5 Kuzakuthi uThixo angalifikisa elizweni lamaKhenani, amaHithi, ama-Amori, amaHivi lamaJebusi, ilizwe afunga kubokhokho benu ukuthi uzalinika lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, kufanele liwugcine lumkhosi ngayonale inyanga.
Ra Anumzamo'ma tmagehe'mokizmima huvempa huzmanteno, amirine, tumerimo'ma avite'nea mopama Kenani vahe'mokizmi mopane, Hiti vahe'mokizmi mopane, Amori vahe'mopama, Hivi vahe'mokizmi mopama tamigahuema hu'nea mopare'ma tamavreno vanigeta, kafugu kafugura ana knagura nentahita musenkase hiho.
6 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo kuthi ngosuku lwesikhombisa lithakazelele umkhosi kaThixo;
Hagi 7ni'a zagemofo agu'afina zo-ore bretige neta nevinkeno, 7ni knarera uhanatina ne'za trohuta neneta, Ra Anumzamofona monora huntegahaze.
7 kungabonwa lutho olulemvubelo phakathi kwenu, kuvele kungabonwa mvubelo elizweni lenu lonke.
Zo-ore bretia ana 7ni'a zage knamofo agu'afinke neta vugahaze. Hagi ana knafina, zisti ante bretia nontimifine, kumapine non tva'ontamirera onteho.
8 Ngalelolanga ngulowo lalowo atshele indodana yakhe athi, ‘Lokhu ngikwenza ngenxa yalokho uThixo angenzela khona ekuphumeni kwami eGibhithe.’
Hanki kafune kafunena ama ana knarera mofavretimia amanage hutma zmasmiho, Ra Anumzamo'ma Isipi mopare kina huta mani'nonkeno tavreno e'nea knagura antahimita musenkase nehune huta zmasmiho.
9 Lesisikhumbuzo kuwe sizakuba luphawu esandleni sakho lesikhumbuzo ebunzini lakho ukuthi umlayo kaThixo ube sezindebeni zakho. Ngoba uThixo wakukhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu.
Ama ana knamo'a tamazante'ene kokovite'ena avame'za me'nena, tamagera okanitma tamagesa nentahinkeno, Ra Anumzamofo kasegemo'a tamagipi meno. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a hanavenentake azanu Isipitira tamavreno atirami'ne.
10 Kalibosigcina lesisimiso ngesikhathi esimisiweyo minyaka yonke.
E'ina hu'negu mika kafune kafune ama knama ne-ena, huhampriteneta ne'za kreta neneta musenkase hugahaze.
11 Nxa uThixo eselingenisile elizweni lamaKhenani walinika lona njengokuthembisa kwakhe kini lakubokhokho benu,
Hanki Ra Anumzmo'ma tamagri'ene tmagehemokizmi huvempa huno, zamigahue hu'nea Kenani mopare'ma tavreno'ma vanigeta,
12 kumele lahlukanisele uThixo konke okuzalwa kuqala yizo zonke izibeletho. Wonke amazibulo esilisa ezifuyo zenu ngakaThixo.
mika tmagonesa ve mofavreramine, mika'a afu'zagama kegava nehaza afu'mo'zama kasezmantesaza ese' ve anenta'a, Ra Anumzamofo amiho. Na'ankure e'i ana ese anenta'a Ra Anumzamofo su'zane.
13 Lizahlenga izibulo likababhemi ngezinyane, kodwa nxa lingalihlenganga lephuleni intamo. Lihlenge njalo wonke amadodana enu angamazibulo.
Hianagi ve sipisipi anenta aheta maka donki afutamimofo ve anentara nona hutma miza hugahaze. Ana'ma hutma mizama osenutma, ana ve donki afura ananke eri vamagita ahegahaze. Maka tmagonesa ve mofavreramina ete miza hugahaze.
14 Nxa indodana yakho ikubuza ngesikhathi esizayo isithi, ‘Kutshoni lokhu?’ ubokuthi kuyo, ‘uThixo wasikhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu, wasikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
Hagi mofavretamimo'zama henkama tamantahige'zama amazana nazane hanagetma, kina hu'neta kazokzo eri'zama e'nerunkeno, hanavenentake azanu Ra Anumzamo'a Isipi mopafinti tavreno atirami'ne hutma hugahaze.
15 Kwathi uFaro eqholoza esala ukuthi sihambe, uThixo wabulala wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, awabantu lawezinyamazana. Yikho-nje nginikela kuThixo izibulo lesilisa lenzalo yonke ngiphinde ngihlenge wonke amadodana ami angamazibulo.’
Hagi Fero'ma tatregetama ovunkeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma Isipi vahe'mokizmi ese zmagonesa mofavreramine, maka afu'zagamofo anentara zamahe'ne. E'ina hu'negu maka ese ve anenta'ma kasentesazana Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vunentonanagi, tagonesa ve mofavretia ete nona huta miza nehune hutma hugahaze.
16 Lokhu kuzakuba njengophawu esandleni sakho lesibonelo ebunzini lakho ukuthi uThixo wakukhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu.”
Ana hu'negu mago avame'za tazantera nofi anakinenteta kokovitera anakinenteta, Ra Anumzamo'ma hanavenentake azanu'ma Isipiti'ma tavreno'ma atirami'nea zankura antahimigahune.
17 UFaro esebavumele abantu ukuthi bahambe, uNkulunkulu kabakhokhelanga ngendlela edabula elizweni lamaFilistiya loba yona yayiquma. Ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi, “Nxa behlangana lempi mhlawumbe bangethuka babuyele eGibhithe.”
Hagi Fero'ma Isipiti'ma zmatrege'za vu'nazana, Filistia mopafima vu kana tavaonte me'neanagi, Anumzamo'a zmatrege'za ana kantera ovu'naze. Na'ankure Israeli vahera ha' huzmantesage'za rukrehe hu'za Isipi e'zanku Anumzamo'a zmatrege'za ovu'naze.
18 Yikho uNkulunkulu wabahola ngendlela yenkangala eya oLwandle Olubomvu. Abako-Israyeli baphuma eGibhithe behlomele impi.
E'ina hu'negu ka'ma kokampi koranke hagerima me'nea kantega Anumzamo'a zamavreno kagino vige'za sondia vahe viaza hu'za vu'naze.
19 UMosi wawathwala amathambo kaJosefa ngoba uJosefa wayenze isifungo lamadodana ka-Israyeli wathi, “Ngempela uNkulunkulu uzalikhulula. Lapho-ke libowathwala amathambo ami lisuke lawo kule indawo.”
Hagi ko'ma Josefe'a Israeli nagara zamsamino, Anumzamo'a Isipitira henka tamavreno vugahiankita zaferinani'a eri'neta vugahaze hige'za huvemapa hunte'nazare, amage anteno Mosese'a zaferina'a erino vu'ne.
20 Sebesukile eSukhothi bayamisa e-Ethamu indawo egudlene lenkangala.
Anante Sukoti kumara atre'za ka'ma kokamofo atumparega, Etamu seli nona ome ki'naze.
21 Emini uThixo wahamba phambi kwabo ngensika yeyezi ebahola endleleni yabo, kwathi ebusuku wabahola ngensika yomlilo ukubakhanyisela ukuze bahambe emini lebusuku.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a hampompi manineno msarera zamavreno nevuno, hanimpina tevefi mani'neno zamavreno vu'ne. E'ina hige'za kenage'ene masare'enena amne vugara hu'naze.
22 Insika yeyezi emini loba insika yomlilo ebusuku kakuzange kusuke endaweni yakho phambi kwabantu.
Israeli vahe'mofo zmavugatira masarera hampomo'a zamatreno ovigeno, hanimpina tevemo'a zamatrenora ovu'ne.
