< Amanani 11 >

1 Abantu basola ngobunzima ababelabo uThixo esizwa, kwathi ekuzwa lokho wathukuthela kakhulu. Kwasekusithi umlilo ovela kuThixo wavutha phakathi kwabo waze waqothula lezinye izindawo ezisemaphethelweni ezihonqo.
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai, pea houhau ai ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe tutu hono houhau, pea naʻe vela ʻae afi ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae fakaʻauha ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻapitanga.
2 Kwathi lapho abantu sebekhale kuMosi, yena wakhuleka kuThixo ngakho umlilo wadeda.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai kia Mōsese pea ʻi he lotu ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ne mate ai ʻae afi.
3 Indawo leyo yasibizwa ngokuthi yiThabhera, ngoba umlilo kaThixo wavutha phakathi kwabo.
Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Tapela: koeʻuhi naʻe vela ai ʻae afi ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu.
4 Uquqaba lwabantu olwaluphakathi kwabo lwaqala ukufisa okunye ukudla, ngakho labako-Israyeli baqala ukulila bathi, “Aluba besingazuza inyama yokudla nje kodwa lokhu!
Pea ko e kakai ʻiate kinautolu mei he potu kehekehe naʻa nau tō ki he holi fakasino: pea naʻe toe tangi foki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai te ne foaki kiate kitautolu ha kakano ke tau kai?
5 Sesikhumbula inhlanzi esasizidla eGibhithe kungelambadalo lamakhomane, amakhabe, amalikhi lemihlobo yonke yehanyanisi kanye legalikhi.
‌ʻOku tau manatu ki he ika, ʻaia naʻa tau kai faʻiteliha pe ʻi ʻIsipite; mo e kukumipa, mo e meleni, pea mo e liki, mo e onioni, pea mo e kāliki:
6 Pho khathesi lapha sesize singasakhwabithi lokudla; kasiboni lutho ngaphandle kwemana yonale zwi!”
Ka ko eni kuo fakamahamaha ʻetau moʻui ke ʻosi; ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi hotau ʻao, ka ko e mana ni.”
7 Imana yayiphose ilingane lentanga yekhoriyanda ilombala ofana lowenhlaka.
Pea naʻe hangē ko e tengaʻi kolianita ʻae mana, pea ko hono lanu naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe mataʻitofe.
8 Abantu babephuma bayeyibutha, bayichole kumbe bayigige. Babeyipheka embizeni kumbe benze amaqebelengwana ngayo. Yayinambitheka njengento ephekwe ngamafutha e-oliva.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai, ʻo tānaki ia, pea naʻa nau momosi ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa momosi, pe tuki ia ʻi ha ipu, pea naʻe tunu ia ʻi he ngaahi ipu kapa, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi ma: pea ko hono ifo naʻe tatau mo e ifo ʻoe lolo foʻou,
9 Kwakusithi nxa kusiba lamazolo ezihonqweni ebusuku, imana layo ikhithika.
Pea ʻi heʻene tō ʻae hahau ʻi he poʻuli ki he ʻapitanga, naʻe tō ʻae mana ki ai.
10 UMosi wezwa abantu bendlu inye ngayinye bekhala, ngulowo esemnyango wethente lakhe. UThixo wathukuthela kakhulu, njalo uMosi wakhathazeka.
Pea naʻe toki fanongo ʻa Mōsese ki he tangi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale fehikitaki: pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻo lahi; pea naʻe ʻita foki ʻa Mōsese.
11 UMosi wathi kuThixo, “Kungani wehlisele ubunzima encekwini yakho na? Kuyini engikwenzileyo okungakuthokozisanga ukuze ungeleke ngobunzima babantu bonke laba na?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? Pea ko e hā kuo ʻikai te u ʻiloa ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, koeʻuhi kuo ke tuku ʻae kavenga ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē kiate au?
12 Ngingunina wabo na? Yimi engabazalayo yini? Kungani usithi ngibaphathe ngezandla zami njengomongikazi ephethe usane, ngibase elizweni lesithembiso owafunga ngalo kubokhokho babo na?
He ko au koā naʻe tuʻituʻia ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē? Pe ko au naʻaku fakatupu ʻakinautolu? He kuo ke folofola mai kiate au, Ke ke fua ʻakinautolu ʻi ho fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e tamai ʻoku ne tauhi, ʻo fua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻoku huhu, ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ʻaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai?
13 Ngingayithatha ngaphi inyama yokupha abantu bonke laba? Lokhu bengikhalela besithi, ‘Sinike inyama sidle!’
Pea te u maʻu mei fē ʻeau ha kakano ke foaki ki he kakai ni kotoa pē? He ʻoku nau tangi kiate au, ʻonau pehē, Foaki mai ha kakano maʻamautolu koeʻuhi ke mau kai.
14 Ngeke ngibathwale abantu bonke laba ngingedwa; umthwalo lo unzima kakhulu kimi.
‌ʻOku ʻikai te u mālohi ke u fua tokotaha pe ʻae kakai ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku nau mamafa fau kiate au.
15 Nxa kuyiyo indlela ozangiphatha ngayo, ngibulala khathesi, nxa ngifumane umusa kuwe, ukuze ngingaboni ukuhlupheka kwami.”
Pea kapau te ke fai pehē kiate au, ʻoku ou kole atu ki hoʻo ʻafio ke ke tāmateʻi leva au mei ho nima, ʻo kapau ʻoku ou ʻiloa ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao; kaeʻoua ʻe tuku au ke u mamata ki hoku mamahi.”
16 UThixo wathi kuMosi: “Ngilethela ebadaleni bako-Israyeli abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa obaziyo ukuthi bangabakhokheli futhi yizikhulu zabantu. Balethe ethenteni lokuhlangana ukuze bame lawe khonapho.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tānaki mai kiate au ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ke ʻilo ko e kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai, pea mo e kau matāpule ʻiate kinautolu; pea ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi kenau tuʻu fakataha ʻi ai mo koe.
17 Ngizakwehla ngizekhuluma lawe khonapho, ngizathatha ingxenye yoMoya okuwe ngiwufake phezu kwabo. Bazakuncedisa ukuthwala umthwalo wabantu bako-Israyeli ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.
Pea te u ʻalu hifo ʻo ta alea ʻi ai mo koe: pea te u toʻo ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻo tuku ia kiate kinautolu; pea tenau fua fakataha mo ko e ʻae kavenga ʻae kakai, ʻe ʻikai te ke fua tokotaha pe ia
18 Tshela abantu uthi: Zingcweliseni lilungiselela usuku lwakusasa, lapho elizakudla khona inyama. UThixo ulizwile likhala kuye lisithi, ‘Ngubani ozasipha inyama ukuba sidle? Kwakungcono kithi siseGibhithe!’ Khathesi uThixo uzalinika inyama, njalo lizayidla.
Pea te ke pehē ki he kakai, Fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻapongipongi, pea te mou kai kakano: he kuo mou tangi ki he fofonga ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, Ko hai te ne foaki kiate kimautolu ha kakano ke mau kai; he naʻa mau lelei ʻi ʻIsipite: pea ko ia ʻe foaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou kai.
19 Aliyikuyidla okosuku olulodwa loba ezimbili, loba ezinhlanu, ezilitshumi loba ezingamatshumi amabili,
‌ʻE ʻikai te mou kai ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe nima, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu, pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu;
20 kodwa lizayidla okwenyanga yonke, ize iphume ngamakhala enu, ilitshiphele, ngoba limhlamukele uThixo ephakathi kwenu, njalo likhalile phambi kwakhe, lisithi, ‘Kanti sivele sasukelani eGibhithe.’”
Ka ko e māhina kātoa, ke ʻoua ke haʻu ia ʻi homou avaʻi ihu, pea ʻe fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu: koeʻuhi naʻa mou fehiʻa kia Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea kuo mou tangi ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā ne mau haʻu ai mei ʻIsipite?”
21 Kodwa uMosi wathi, “Mina ngilapha phakathi kwamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ahamba ngezinyawo, kodwa wena uthi, ‘Ngizabanika inyama abazayidla okwenyanga yonke!’
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko e kakai ʻoku ou nofo ʻi ai, ʻoku nau toko ono kilu ʻae kau tangata fononga; pea kuo ke pehē, Te u foaki ʻae kakano kiate kinautolu, kenau kai ai ʻi he māhina ʻe taha.
22 Bebengeneliswa na aluba bebehlatshelwe imihlambi yezimvu leyezifuyo? Babezakweneliswa na aluba begolelwe inhlanzi zonke zasolwandle?”
‌ʻE tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipi, pea mo e fanga manu lalahi maʻanautolu, kenau mākona ai? Pe tānaki fakataha ʻae ika kotoa pē ʻi he tahi maʻanautolu, kenau mākona ai?”
23 UThixo wamphendula uMosi wathi, “Kambe ingalo kaThixo imfitshane na? Uzabona-ke khathesi longabe yebo loba hayi ukuthi engikutshoyo kuzagcwaliseka kuwe.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “He kuo fakanounou ʻae nima ʻo Sihova? Ko eni te ke mamata, pe hoko ʻeku lea kiate ko e pe ʻikai.”
24 Ngakho uMosi waphuma wayatshela abantu lokho okwakutshiwo nguThixo. Wahlanganisa abadala abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa wabamisa bahonqolozela ithente.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne fakahā ki he kakai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, pea naʻa ne tānaki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, pea naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke tuʻu takatakai ʻi he fale fehikitaki.
25 Ngalokho uThixo wehla ngeyezi wakhuluma laye, yena wasethatha uMoya owawuphezu kwakhe wawethulela phezu kwabadala bebandla abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Kwathi uMoya usuphezu kwabo, baphrofitha, kodwa kabazange baphinde bakwenze emva kwalokho.
Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao, ʻo ne folofola kiate ia, pea ne toʻo ʻae laumālie naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻo ne foaki ia ki he kau mātuʻa ʻe toko fitungofulu: pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae laumālie kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau kikite, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku.
26 Kodwa-ke, kwakukhona amadoda amabili, kungu-Elidadi loMedadi ababesele esihonqweni. Lanxa babebalelwa ebadaleni, kodwa kabazange baphume ukuya eThenteni. Kanti-ke uMoya wawehlele phezu kwabo labo, njalo babephrofitha besesihonqweni.
Ka naʻe nofo ʻae ongo tangata ʻe toko ua ʻi he ʻapitanga, ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻElitati, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Metati: pea naʻe hoko ʻae laumālie kiate kinaua; pea naʻa na ʻiate kinautolu kuo tohi, ka naʻe ʻikai te na ō ki he fale fehikitaki: ka naʻa na kikite ʻi he ʻapitanga.
27 Ijahana elincinyane lagijima layabikela uMosi lathi, “U-Elidadi loMedadi bayaphrofitha besesihonqweni.”
Pea naʻe lele ʻae tangata talavou, ʻo ne pehē kia Mōsese, “ʻOku kikite ʻa ʻElitati mo Metati ʻi he ʻapitanga.”
28 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, owayekade engumsekeli kaMosi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe, waphakamisa ilizwi wathi, “Mosi, nkosi yami, bathulise!”
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Mōsese, ko e tokotaha ʻi heʻene kau tangata talavou, ʻo pehē, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ko Mōsese ke ke taʻofi ʻakinaua.”
29 Kodwa uMosi waphendula wathi, “Uyangikhwelezela na? Ngiyafisa ukuthi ngabe bonke abantu bakaThixo bangabaphrofethi njalo lokuthi UThixo wehlisele uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo!”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate ia, “ʻOku ke meheka koeʻuhi ko au? ʻOku ʻamusiaange ʻeau ki he ʻOtua ke kikite ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, pea ke tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa hono laumālie kiate kinautolu.”
30 Ngakho uMosi labadala bako-Israyeli babuyela ezihonqweni.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻapitanga, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
31 Kwasekuphephetha umoya uvela kuThixo wathinta izagwaca zivela olwandle. Zakhithika zelekana ukusuka phansi okwezingalo ezimbili ezihonqweni, zendlaleka okomango ongahanjwa okosuku lonke inxa zonke.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae matangi meia Sihova, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae fanga kueili mei he tahi, pea naʻe tuku ia ke tō ʻo ofi ki he ʻapitanga, ʻo hangē ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha ki he potu toʻomataʻu, pea hangē ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha ki he potu toʻohema, ʻo takatakai ʻae ʻapitanga, pea naʻe hangē ko e hanga ʻe fā hono māʻolunga mei he funga kelekele.
32 Mhlalokho emini lebusuku njalo langosuku olulandelayo abantu baphuma bayabutha izagwaca. Akekho owabutha izagwaca ezinganeno kwamahomeri alitshumi. Ngakho basebezichaya indawana zonke ezihonqweni.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ko ia, pea mo e pō kotoa pē ko ia, pea mo e ʻaho kotoa naʻe feholoi, pea naʻa nau tānaki ʻae fanga kueili: ko ia naʻe siʻi ʻene tānaki naʻa ne tānaki ʻae oma ʻe hongofulu: pea naʻa nau fakamafola ʻakinautolu ʻo takatakai ʻi he ʻapitanga.
33 Kodwa kwathi belokhu besayihlafuna inyama bengakayiginyi, ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha phezu kwabantu, njalo wabatshaya ngokubehlisela umkhuhlane.
Pea ʻi he kei ʻi honau nifo ʻae kakano ʻi he teʻeki ai ke lamu, naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻaki ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha lahi ʻaupito.
34 Ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiKhibhrothi Hathava, ngoba kulapho okwangcwatshwa khona abantu ababebukhali kokunye ukudla.
Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Kipiloti-Hateva: koeʻuhi naʻa nau tanu ʻi ai ʻae kakai ʻaia naʻe holi kovi.
35 Ekusukeni kwabo eKhibhrothi Hathava abantu bahamba baze bayafika eHazerothi bahlala khona.
Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae kakai mei Kipiloti-Hateva ki Heseloti; pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi Heseloti.
