U-Eksodusi 24
1 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Woza kuThixo, wena lo-Aroni, uNadabi lo-Abhihu, kanye labadala bako-Israyeli abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Lizakhonza libucwala,
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Bwera ku phiri kuno kwa Yehova, iwe pamodzi ndi Aaroni, Nadabu, Abihu ndi akuluakulu a Israeli makumi asanu ndi awiri. Enanu mundipembedze muli chapatali.
2 kodwa uMosi yedwa zwi uzasondela kuThixo; abanye kabafanelanga ukusondela eduze. Kanti-ke abantu kabafanelanga ukuza laye.”
Koma Mose yekha ayandikire Yehova, ndipo enawo asayandikire. Komanso anthu ena onse asakwere nawe ku phiri kuno.”
3 Kwathi uMosi esebuyele ebantwini wabatshela wonke amazwi kanye lemilayo kaThixo, abantu bakwamukela, bavungama ngalizwi linye bathi, “Konke okutshiwo nguThixo sizakwenza.”
Tsono Mose anapita kukawuza anthu mawu onse a Yehova ndi malamulo onse, ndipo anthu onse anayankha mogwirizana kuti, “Tidzachita zonse zimene Yehova wanena.”
4 UMosi waseloba konke uThixo ayekutshilo. Ngosuku olulandelayo uMosi wavuka kusesele wakha i-alithari ewatheni lwentaba wamisa khona izinsika zamatshe alitshumi lambili emele izizwe ezilitshumi lambili zako-Israyeli.
Ndipo Mose analemba zonse zimene Yehova ananena. Mmawa mwake Mose anadzuka nayamba kumanga guwa lansembe mʼmunsi mwa phirilo ndipo anayimika miyala khumi ndi iwiri ngati zipilala kuyimira mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
5 Wasethuma amajaha ako-Israyeli ahamba ayanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa njalo benza imihlatshelo ngenkunzi ezincane njengomnikelo wobudlelwano kuThixo.
Kenaka Mose anatuma Aisraeli achinyamata kuti aphe ndi kukapereka kwa Yehova nsembe zopsereza zachiyanjano.
6 UMosi wasethatha ingxenye yegazi walithela emiganwini eyayizingubhe, elinye wachela ngalo phezu kwe-alithari.
Mose anatenga theka la magazi ndi kuyika mʼmbale, ndipo theka linalo analiwaza pa guwa lansembe.
7 Ngakho wathatha iNcwadi yeSivumelwano wayifundela abantu. Bona bavuma besithi, “Sizakwenza konke okutshiwo nguThixo; sizamlalela.”
Anatenganso Buku la Chipangano ndi kuwerengera anthu. Anthuwo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zimene Yehova wanena tamva, ndipo tidzazichita.”
8 Ngemva kwalokho uMosi wathatha igazi wachela ngalo abantu esithi kubo, “Leli ligazi lesivumelwano sikaThixo asenze lani ngokuqondene lawo wonke lamazwi.”
Kenaka Mose anatenga magazi, nawaza anthuwo ndipo anati, “Awa ndi magazi a pangano limene Yehova wapanga ndi inu molingana ndi mawu ake onsewa.”
9 UMosi lo-Aroni, uNadabi lo-Abhihu kanye labadala bako-Israyeli abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa bakhwela
Kenaka Mose pamodzi ndi Aaroni, Nadabu, Abihu ndi akuluakulu makumi asanu ndi awiri a Israeli aja anakwera ku phiri,
10 bayabona uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe kwakungani ngumgwaqo owenziwe ngesafaya, kukhanya njengokukhanya komkhathi uqobo.
ndipo anaona Mulungu wa Israeli. Pansi pa mapazi ake panali njira yoyendamo yopangidwa ndi mwala wa safiro woyalidwa bwino wa maonekedwe owala ngati thambo.
11 Kodwa uNkulunkulu kazange abanine ngesandla sakhe laba bakhokheli bako-Israyeli; sebembonile uNkulunkulu badla banatha.
Ngakhale anaona Yehova koma sanafe, mʼmalo mwake anadya ndi kumwa.
12 UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Khwela uze kimi entabeni njalo uhlale lapha, ngizakunika izibhebhedu zamatshe, engilobe kuzo imithetho lemilayo eyiziqondiso zabo.”
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Bwera kwa ine ku phiri kuno, ndipo udikire konkuno. Ndidzakupatsa miyala imene ndalembapo malemba kuti ndiwaphunzitse.”
13 Ngakho uMosi wasuka loJoshuwa umsizi wakhe, uMosi wasekhwela entabeni kaNkulunkulu.
Ndipo anayamba ulendo wopita ku phiri la Mulungu pamodzi ndi womuthandiza wake Yoswa.
14 Wathi ebadaleni, “Silindelani khonapha size siphenduke. U-Aroni loHuri bazasala lani, kuzakuthi abaxabanayo babonane labo.”
Apa nʼkuti Mose atawawuza akuluakulu aja kuti, “Mudikire pano mpaka titabweranso. Aaroni ndi Huri ali nanu, aliyense amene ali ndi milandu apite kwa iwo.”
15 Kwathi uMosi esekhwele intaba, yasibekelwa liyezi,
Mose atakwera ku phiri kuja mtambo unaphimba phirilo.
16 inkazimulo kaThixo yagcwala entabeni yaseSinayi. Iyezi lembesa intaba okwensuku eziyisithupha kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa uThixo wabiza uMosi eseyezini.
Ulemerero wa Yehova unakhala pa phiri la Sinai, ndipo mtambo unaphimba phirilo kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi. Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri Yehova anayitana Mose kuchokera mu mtambowo.
17 Ebantwini bako-Israyeli inkazimulo kaThixo yabonakala injengomlilo otshisa uqothule phezu kwentaba.
Ulemerero wa Yehova uja unkaoneka ngati malawi a moto pamwamba pa phirilo.
18 Ngakho uMosi wangena eyezini ekhwela intaba. Wahlala khonale entabeni okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane.
Ndipo Mose analowa mʼmitambo nakwera phiri. Iye anakhala ku phiriko 40 usana ndi usiku.
