U-Eksodusi 32
1 Kwathi lapho abantu bebona uMosi esephuzile ukwehla entabeni, babuthana ku-Aroni bathi kuye, “Lalela, senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu, ngoba umuntu lo, uMosi owasikhupha elizweni laseGibhithe, asikwazi osekwenzakale kuye.”
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai kuo tuai ʻae ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga, naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kia ʻElone, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake ʻo ngaohi hotau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻaia ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitautolu; he koeʻuhi ko Mōsese ni ko e tangata naʻe ʻomi ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo pe kuo ʻi fē ia.”
2 U-Aroni wabaphendula wathi, “Khuphani amacici egolide asendlebeni zamakhosikazi enu, amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu, liwalethe kimi.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻElone kiate kinautolu, “Motuhi mai ʻae ngaahi hau koula, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he telinga ʻo homou ngaahi mali, mo homou ngaahi foha, mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ʻomi ia kiate au.”
3 Ngakho abantu bonke bawakhupha amacici abo bawasa ku-Aroni.
Pea naʻe fesiʻi leva ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi hau koula naʻe ʻi honau telinga, ʻo ʻomi ia kia ʻElone.
4 Wathatha lokho abamnikeza khona wakwenza kwaba yisithombe esibunjwe ngesimo sethole esebenzisa insimbi yokukhanda. Basebesithi, “Laba yibo onkulunkulu benu, Oh Israyeli, abalikhupha elizweni laseGibhithe.”
Pea maʻu ʻe ia ʻi honau nima, pea hili ʻene haka ia ke ngaohi ʻae fakatātā ʻoe pulu mui, naʻa ne fakafuofua ia ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā; pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko ʻeni ho ngaahi ʻotua ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
5 Kwathi u-Aroni ebona lokhu wakha i-alithari phambi kwethole wamemezela wathi, “Kusasa kuzakuba lomkhosi kaThixo.”
Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻa ʻElone, pea fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai ʻae kātoanga kia Sihova ʻapongipongi.”
6 Ngakho ngosuku olwalandelayo abantu bavuka ekuseni kakhulu banikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, baletha lomnikelo wobudlelwano. Emva kwalokho bahlala phansi badla, banatha; basukuma bagida.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻo ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino; pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻae kakai ke kai mo inu, pea tutuʻu hake ke fakavā.
7 Lapho-ke uThixo wathi kuMosi, “Yehla uye phansi ngoba abantu bakho owabakhupha elizweni laseGibhithe sebegcwele ububi.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke ʻalu ki lalo: he ko ho kakai, ʻaia kuo ke ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, kuo nau fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu:
8 Baphangisile badela konke engabalaya khona bazenzela isithombe esibunjwe safana lethole. Basikhothamele banikela iminikelo kiso bathi, ‘Laba yibo onkulunkulu benu, bako-Israyeli, abalikhupha eGibhithe.’”
Kuo nau afe leva mei he hala ʻaia kuo u fekauʻi ai ʻakinautolu: kuo nau ngaohi moʻonautolu ʻae fakatātā haka ki he pulu mui, pea kuo nau hū ki ai, mo nau feilaulau ki ai, ʻo pehē, Ko eni ho ngaahi ʻotua ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
9 UThixo wasebuya wathi kuMosi, “Sengibabonile abantu laba; ngabantu abantamo zilukhuni.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Kuo u mamata ki he kakai ni, pea vakai, ko e kakai kia kekeva ia:
10 Khathesi-ke ngiyekela ngingedwa ukuze ulaka lwami luvuthe phezu kwabo, ngibatshabalalise. Besengizakwenza isizwe esikhulu.”
Pea ko ʻeni, tuku ai pe au, koeʻuhi ke tupu pe ʻo vela ʻeku tuputāmaki kiate kinautolu, pea koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ʻae puleʻanga lahi.”
11 Kodwa uMosi wacela umusa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, wathi, “Awu Thixo, kungani ulaka lwakho kumele luvuthele abantu bakho owabakhupha eGibhithe ngamandla amakhulu langesandla esiqinileyo na?
Pea naʻe kole fakamātoato ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku tupu ʻo vela ai ho houhau ki ho kakai, ʻaia kuo ke aʻutaki mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he mālohi lahi, pea ʻi he nima māfimafi?
12 Kungani amaGibhithe kumele athi, ‘Wabakhupha elizweni ngenxa yenhloso embi ukuba ababulalele ezintabeni, ababhubhise baphele ebusweni bomhlaba’? Phenduka olakeni lwakho olwesabekayo, uthambise umoya wakho, ungaletheli abantu bakho ukubhujiswa.
Ko e hā ka lea ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, naʻa ne ʻomi kovi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā, ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he funga ʻo māmani? Tafoki mei ho houhau lahi, pea lolou ʻi he kovi ni ki ho kakai.
13 Khumbula izinceku zakho u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka lo-Israyeli owafunga kubo wena ngokwakho wathi, ‘Ngizakwandisa inzalo yenu ibe ngangezinkanyezi zasemkhathini, ngiyinike lonke ilizwe engalithembisa lona ukuba libe yilifa layo kuze kube nini lanini.’”
Manatu ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻa ke fuakava ki ai ʻi he ʻafiona, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, Te u fakatupu ke tokolahi homou hako ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ko e fonua ni kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo u lea ki ai te u foaki ia ki homou hako, pea te nau maʻu ia ʻo taʻengata.”
14 Lapho-ke uThixo waguquka ebubini ayesemise ukubehlisela ebantwini bakhe.
Pea naʻe lolou ʻa Sihova ʻi he kovi ʻaia naʻa ne finangalo ke fai ki hono kakai.
15 UMosi waphenduka wehla entabeni ephethe izibhebhedu ezimbili zamatshe obufakazi ezandleni zakhe. Zazilotshwe inxa zombili, phambili langemuva.
Pea naʻe tafoki ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, mo e maka ʻe ua ʻoe fuakava naʻe ʻi hono nima: kuo tohi ʻae ongo maka ʻi hona potu fakatouʻosi: kuo tohi ia ʻi hono potu ʻe taha mo hono potu ʻe taha.
16 Izibhebhedu zamatshe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu; umbhalo ungumbhalo kaNkulunkulu owawulotshwe ezibhebhedwini zamatshe.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ongo maka, pea ko e tohi ko e tohi ʻae ʻOtua, kuo tongi ki he ongo maka.
17 Kwathi lapho uJoshuwa esizwa umsindo wabantu beklabalala, wathi kuMosi, “Kulokuhlokoma kwempi ezihonqweni.”
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Siosiua ki he longoaʻa ʻoe kakai ʻi heʻenau kalanga, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Mōsese, “ʻOku longolongo tau ʻae ʻapitanga.”
18 UMosi waphendula wathi: “Akusiyo nhlokomo yokunqoba, akusiyo nhlokomo yokunqotshwa; yinhlokomo yokuhlabela mina engiyizwayo.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e leʻo ia ʻokinautolu ʻoku mavava ʻi he mālohi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e leʻo ʻonautolu ʻoku tangi ʻi he fakavaivaiʻi: ka ʻoku ou ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻonautolu ʻoku hiva.”
19 Kwathi uMosi esebanga ezihonqweni ebona ithole kanye lokugida okwakusenziwa, ulaka lwakhe lwavutha, walahla izibhebhedu ezazisezandleni zakhe, zahlephuka zaba yizicucu ewatheni lwentaba.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo ofi ki he ʻapitanga, naʻa ne mamata leva ki he [fakatātā ʻoe ]pulu mui mo e meʻe hopohopo: pea tupu ʻo vela ʻae ʻita ʻa Mōsese, pea ne si ʻae ongo maka mei hono nima pea naʻe laiki ia ʻi he lalo moʻunga.
20 Wathatha ithole abebelenzile walitshisa emlilweni; walichola laba yimpuphu, wayiphosela emanzini, wathi bawanathe abako-Israyeli.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pulu mui ʻaia naʻa nau ngaohi, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he afi, ʻo ne momosi ia ke efu, ʻo ne lī ia ki he vai, ʻo ne fakainu ʻaki ia ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
21 Wasesithi ku-Aroni, “Abantu laba benzeni kuwe uze ubakhokhelele esonweni esikhulu kangaka na?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ni kiate koe, kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻae angahala lahi pehē ni kiate kinautolu?”
22 U-Aroni waphendula wathi, “Ungathukutheli nkosi yami. Uyakwazi ukuthi abantu laba bathanda ububi.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻElone, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻo vela lahi ʻae ʻita ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae kakai, ʻoku pau pe honau loto ki he kovi.
23 Bathe kimi, ‘Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu. Umuntu lo, uMosi owasikhupha elizweni laseGibhithe, asikwazi osokwenzakale kuye.’
He naʻa nau pehē mai kiate au, Ngaohi hotau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻaia ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate kitautolu: he koeʻuhi ko e Mōsese ni, ko e tangata naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo pe kuo ʻi fē ia.
24 Ngakho mina ngathi kubo, ‘Loba ngubani olomceciso wegolide kawukhuphe.’ Basebengipha-ke igolide ngaliphosa emlilweni, kwasekuphuma ithole leli.”
Pea ne u tala kiate kinautolu, Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ai haʻanau koula, ke nau motuhi ia. Pea naʻa nau tuku mai ia kiate au: pea naʻaku si ia ki he afi, pea naʻe haʻu mei ai ʻae pulu mui ni.”
25 UMosi wabona ukuthi abantu babengasabambeki kanye lokuthi u-Aroni wayesebaxhwalisile baze baba yinhlekisa ezitheni zabo.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Mōsese, ʻoku telefua ʻae kakai; (he naʻe fakatelefuaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻElone ke nau mā ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo honau ngaahi fili: )
26 Ngakho wema esangweni lezihonqo wathi, “Wonke ongokaThixo, keze kimi.” Wonke amadodana kaLevi ayabuthana kuye.
Naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he matapā ʻoe ʻapitanga, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku kau mo Sihova? Ke haʻu ia kiate au. Pea ko e ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻo Livai, naʻa nau fakataha kiate ia.”
27 Wasesithi kuwo, “Lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ukuthi, ‘Indoda ngayinye kayibophele inkemba yayo ngebhanti eceleni kwayo, lihambahambe phakathi kwezihonqo lisuka kwelinye icele lazo lisiya kwelinye, indoda ngayinye ibulale umfowabo, umzalwane lomakhelwane wayo.’”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Ke ʻai ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻene heletā ki hono vakavaka, pea ʻalu ʻo feʻaluʻaki ʻi he matapā ki he matapā ʻi he ʻapitanga kotoa pē, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻe he tangata hono tokoua, mo e tangata kotoa pē ʻene kaumeʻa, mo e tangata kotoa pē hono kaungāʻapi.’”
28 Amadodana kaLevi enza njengokulaywa kwawo nguMosi. Ngakho ngalolosuku kwafa abantu ababengaba zinkulungwane ezintathu.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa Livai ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Mōsese: pea naʻe tō ai ʻi he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau tangata ko e toko tolu afe nai.
29 UMosi wasesithi kubo, “Lamuhla lina selahlukaniselwe uThixo ngoba limelane lamadodana enu labafowenu, ngalokho uselibusisile lamhla.”
He naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Fakatapui ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova he ʻaho ni, ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono foha, pea ki hono tokoua: koeʻuhi ke ne foaki ʻae tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni.”
30 Ngelanga elalandelayo uMosi wathi ebantwini, “Lenze isono esikhulu kakhulu. Kodwa khathesi ngizaqansa ngiye phezulu kuThixo, mhlawumbe ngingenza inhlawulelo yesono senu.”
Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai, “Kuo mou fai ʻae angahala lahi: pea ko eni, te u ʻalu hake kia Sihova; heiʻilo pe teu lavaʻi ke fai ʻae fakalelei ʻi hoʻomou angahala.”
31 Ngakho uMosi wabuyela kuThixo wathi kuye, “Awu, abantu laba sebenze isono esikhulu kakhulu. Bazenzele onkulunkulu ngegolide.
Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOiauē, kuo fai ʻae angahala lahi ʻe he kakai ni, pea kuo ngaohi honau ngaahi ʻotua koula.
32 Ake ubathethelele izono zabo kodwa nxa kungenjalo, ngesula ogwalweni olulobileyo.”
Ka ko eni, kapau ʻe lelei te ke fakamolemole ʻenau angahala; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tāmateʻi au mei hoʻo tohi ʻaia kuo ke tohi.”
33 UThixo wamphendula uMosi wathi, “Lowo owenze isono kimi ngizamesula ogwalweni lwami.
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko ia fulipē kuo fai angahala kiate au, te u tāmateʻi ia mei heʻeku tohi.
34 Khathesi hamba, ukhokhelele abantu endaweni engakhuluma ngayo kuwe. Ingilosi yami izahamba phambi kwakho. Kodwa-ke nxa isikhathi sami sokujezisa sesifikile, ngizabajezisa ngenxa yesono sabo.”
Ko ia, ke ke ʻalu ni, ʻo ʻave ʻae kakai ki he [fonua], ʻaia naʻaku lea ai kiate koe: vakai, ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe a ʻeku ʻĀngelo ka ko e moʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku ʻaʻahi, Te u ʻaʻahi ʻenau angahala kiate kinautolu.”
35 UThixo wabajezisa abantu ngesifo ngenxa yalokho abakwenza ngethole elalenziwe ngu-Aroni.
Pea naʻe fakamamahi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaohi ʻae pulu mui, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe ʻElone.
