U-Eksodusi 12
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni elizweni leGibhithe, isithi:
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose laua o Aarona, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i mai la,
2 Le inyanga kayibe kini yinhloko yezinyanga, ibe kini ngeyokuqala yenyanga zomnyaka.
Eia ka malama makamua o ko oukou mau malama, eia ka malama mua o ko oukou makahiki.
3 Khulumani kunhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli lithi: Ngolwetshumi lwalinyanga bazazithathela ngulowo iwundlu, ngokwezindlu zaboyise, iwundlu ngendlu.
E olelo aku olua i ka poe kanaka o ka Iseraela a pau, e i aku, I ka la umi o keia malama, e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka i hipakeiki ma ko ka hale o na makua, he hipakeiki no ka hale hookahi.
4 Uba-ke indlu incinyane kakhulu ewundlwini, kakuthi yena athathe lomakhelwane wakhe, oseduze lendlu yakhe, njengobunengi bemiphefumulo; ngulowo njengokudla kwakhe, lizabalela iwundlu.
Aka, ina he uuku ko ka hale, aole lawa no ka hipakeiki, e lawe pu ia me kona hoalauna e kokoke aua ma kona hale, e like me ka nui o lakou; e like me ka ai ana a kela kanaka keia kanaka, pela no oukou e helu ai i na hipakeiki.
5 Lizakuba lezinyane elingelasici, eliduna, elilomnyaka owodwa; lithatheni ezimvini loba ezimbuzini.
I hipakeiki kina ole ka oukou, he kane o ka makahiki hookahi: noloko o ka poe hipa paha, noloko o ka poe kao paha ka oukou e lawe ai ia ia.
6 Njalo lizaligcina kuze kufike usuku lwetshumi lane lwaleyonyanga, njalo ibandla lonke lenhlangano yakoIsrayeli izalihlaba kusihlwa.
Na oukou ia e malama a hiki i ka la umikumamaha o ia malama; a na ke anaina kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela e pepehi iho ia i ke ahiahi.
7 Bazathatha-ke okwegazi, bakufake emigubazini yomibili lekhothameni, ezindlini abazalidlela kuzo.
A e lawe lakou i ke koko, a e kau aku ma na lapauila a elua, a maluna ma ka hoaka o ka puka o na hale, kahi a lakou e ai ai ia mea.
8 Njalo bazakudla inyama ngalobobusuku, yosiwe ngomlilo, lesinkwa esingelamvubelo, lemibhida ebabayo bazayidla.
A ia po no, e ai lakou i ka io i ohinuia i ke ahi, e ai pu lakou ia mea me ka palaoa hu ole, a me na mea mulemule.
9 Lingadli okwalo kuluhlaza kumbe kuphekiwe lokuphekwa ngamanzi, kodwa yosiwe ngomlilo; inhloko yalo lemilenze yalo, kanye lemibilini yalo.
Mai ai maka oukou ia mea, aole hoi i hoolapalapaia i ka wai; aka, e ohinuia i ke ahi; o kona poo, me kona mau wawae, a me kona naau.
10 Njalo lingatshiyi lutho kulo kuze kube sekuseni, kodwa okusalayo kulo kuze kube sekuseni lizakutshisa ngomlilo.
Mai waiho oukou i kekahi a ao; a ina e koe kekahi mea a ao, e hoopau oukou ia mea i ke ahi.
11 Ngokunjalo-ke lizalidla, inkalo zenu zibotshiwe, izicathulo zenu zisenyaweni zenu, lendondolo zenu zisezandleni zenu; lizalidla ngokuphangisa; kuliphasika leNkosi.
Penei oukou e ai ai; e hoolikiia ko oukou puhaka, a me na kamaa e paa ana ma ko oukou mau wawae, a me ke kookoo ma ko oukou lima: e ai wikiwiki oukou, no ka mea, o ka moliaola ia na Iehova.
12 Ngoba ngizadabula phakathi kwelizwe leGibhithe ngalobubusuku, ngitshaye wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni, ngizakwenza izigwebo kubo bonke onkulunkulu beGibhithe; mina ngiyiNkosi.
No ka mea, e hele aku ana au ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita i keia po, a e pepehi no wau i na hiapo a pau ma ka aina o Aigupita, o ka ke kanaka a me ka ka holoholona: a e hoopai aku no wau i na akua a pau o Aigupita: owau no Iehova.
13 Legazi lizakuba kini yisibonakaliso ezindlini lapho elikhona; nxa ngibona igazi ngizadlula phezu kwenu, njalo kungehleli kini inhlupheko yokuchitha, mhla ngitshaya ilizwe leGibhithe.
A o ke koko, oia ka hoailona no oukou ma na hale o ko oukou wahi: aia ike aku au i ke koko, e waiho wau ia oukou, aole e kau mai ka mea ino maluna o oukou e make ai, ia'u e pepehi iho ai i ko ka aina o Aigupita.
14 Njalo lolusuku luzakuba kini yisikhumbuzo; njalo lizalugcina lube ngumkhosi eNkosini; lizalugcina ezizukulwaneni zenu ngokomthetho wanininini.
A e lilo no keia la i mea e hoomanao ai no oukou: a e malama oukou ia la i ahaaina na Iehova, a hiki i ko oukou mau hanauna a pau: e malama oukou ia i ahaaina, ma ke kanawai mau loa.
15 Insuku eziyisikhombisa lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo. Yebo ngosuku lokuqala lizakhupha imvubelo ezindlini zenu; ngoba wonke odla okuvutshelweyo kusukela kusuku lokuqala kuze kufike usuku lwesikhombisa, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke koIsrayeli.
Ehiku mau la ka oukou e ai ai i ka berena hu ole; i ka la mua e hoolei aku oukou i ka mea hu mawaho o ko oukou mau hale: o ka mea nana e ai i ka berena hu, mai ka la akahi a hiki i ka la hiku, e okiia'ku ia mai ka Iseraela aku.
16 Njalo ngosuku lokuqala kuzakuba khona inhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele, langosuku lwesikhombisa lizakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; kungenziwa msebenzi ngazo, kuphela lokho wonke umphefumulo okudlayo, lokho kodwa kungenziwa yini.
A i ka la makamua, hookahi halawai hemolele ana, a i ka hiku o ka la, hookahi halawai hemolele ana o oukou. Ia mau la la, aohe hana maoli, o ka mea wale no a kela kanaka a keia kanaka e ai ai, oia wale no ka mea a oukou e hana'i.
17 Ngakho gcinani izinkwa ezingelamvubelo; ngoba ngalona lolosuku ngikhuphile amabutho enu elizweni leGibhithe. Ngakho lizagcina lolosuku ezizukulwaneni zenu ngesimiso saphakade.
E malama no oukou i ka ahaaina berena hu ole; no ka mea, ia la no ua lawe mai au i ko oukou poe koa, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita: no ia mea, e malama oukou i keia la i ka oukou mau hanauna aku, ma ke kanawai mau loa.
18 Kweyokuqala, osukwini lwetshumi lane lwenyanga kusihlwa lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo, kuze kufike usuku lwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga kusihlwa.
I ka malama makamua, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama, i ke ahiahi, alaila e ai oukou i ka berena hu ole, a hiki i ke ahiahi o ka la iwakaluakumamakahi o ua malama la.
19 Insuku eziyisikhombisa kakungaficwa imvubelo ezindlini zenu; ngoba wonke odla okuvutshelweyo lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke kunhlangano yakoIsrayeli, loba engowemzini loba engowokuzalwa elizweni.
Ehiku la e loaa ole ai ka mea hu maloko o ko oukou mau hale. O ka mea ai i ka palaoa hu, oia ke hookiia aku mai ke anaina kanaka o ka Iseraela aku: ina paha ho kanaka e oia, a ina paha o ka mea i hanau ma ka aina.
20 Lingadli lutho oluvutshelweyo; emizini yenu yonke lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo.
Mai ai oukou i kekahi mea hu: ma na hale o oukou a pau, e ai oukou i ka berena hu ole.
21 UMozisi wasebiza bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: Hudulani lizithathele amawundlu ngokwensapho zenu, lihlabe iphasika,
Alaila, kii aku la o Mose i na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, i aku la ia lakou, E wae oukou, a e lawe i ka oukou hipakeiki, ma ka oukou mau ohana, a e pepehi i ka moliaola.
22 lithathe ilixha lehisope, liligxamuze egazini elisemganwini, lininde ekhothameni lemigubazini emibili ngegazi elisemganwini; lina-ke, kakungaphumi muntu endlini yakhe kuze kube sekuseni.
A e lawe oukou i pupu husopa, a e kupenu iho iloko o ke koko ma ko kiaha, a e hamo i ka hoaka a me na lapauila elua o ka puka, i ke koko oloko o ke kiaha, a mai puka aku kekahi o oukou mawaho o ka puka o kona hale, a kakahiaka.
23 Ngoba iNkosi izadabula ukutshaya amaGibhithe; nxa ibona igazi ekhothameni lemigubazini yomibili, iNkosi izadlula phezu komnyango, ingavumeli umchithi ukuthi angene ezindlini zenu ukutshaya.
No ka mea, e hele ae ana o Iehova e pepehi i ko Aigupita, a ike mai ia i ke koko ma ka hoaka a ma na lapauila, e waiho no o Iehova ia puka, aole ia e ae mai i ka mea luku e komo i ko oukou mau hale e pepehi mai.
24 Njalo lizagcina le into, kube yisimiso kini lakubantwana benu kuze kube phakade.
E malama oukou i keia mea i kanawai mau loa no oukou, a no ka oukou poe keiki.
25 Njalo kuzakuthi lapho lifika elizweni iNkosi ezalinika lona njengokukhuluma kwayo, lizagcina linkonzo.
A hiki aku oukou i ka aina a Iehova e haawi mai ai no oukou, e like me kana i olelo mai ai, alaila e malama oukou i keia oihana.
26 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho abantwana benu besithi kini: Iyini linkonzo elilayo?
A i ka wa e olelo mai ai ka oukou poe keiki ia oukou, Heaha ke ano o keia oihana ia oukou?
27 Lizakuthi-ke: Lo ngumhlatshelo wephasika leNkosi, eyedlula phezu kwezindlu zabantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe mhla itshaya amaGibhithe, wophula izindlu zethu. Njalo abantu bakhothama bakhonza.
E olelo aku oukou, O ka mohai moliaola keia na Iehova, nana no i waiho i na hale o na mamo a Iseraela ma Aigupita, i ka wa ana i pepehi aku ai i ko Aigupita, a hoopakele mai i ko na hale o makou. Kulou iho la ke poo o kanaka a hoomana aku la.
28 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebehamba, bayakwenza njengalokhu iNkosi yayibalayile oMozisi loAroni, benza njalo.
Hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, hana iho la e like me ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose laua o Aarona, pela lakou i hana'i.
29 Kwasekusithi phakathi kobusuku iNkosi yatshaya wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe, kusukela kuzibulo likaFaro elalizahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube kuzibulo lesibotshwa esasisentolongweni, lamazibulo wonke ezifuyo.
A hiki i ke aumoe, pepehi iho la o Iehova i na hiapo a pau, ma ka aina o Aigupita, mai ka hiapo a Parao, a ka mea noho maluna o kona nohoalii, a hiki i ka hiapo a ka mea pio iloko o ka hale luapaahao, a me na hiapo a pau a na holoholona.
30 UFaro wasesukuma ebusuku, yena lenceku zakhe zonke lamaGibhithe wonke. Kwasekusiba khona isililo esikhulu eGibhithe, ngoba kwakungekho ndlu lapho okwakungelamufi khona.
Ala ae la o Parao i ka po, oia a me kana poe kauwa a pau, a me ko Aigupita a pau: a he nui loa ke kupinai ana ma Aigupita, no ka mea, aohe hale i make ole ai kekahi.
31 Wasebiza oMozisi loAroni ebusuku, wathi: Sukumani, liphume phakathi kwabantu bami, lonke lina labantwana bakoIsrayeli, lihambe liyekhonza iNkosi njengokutsho kwenu.
Hea mai la oia ia Mose laua o Aarona i ka po, i mai la, E ku ae olua e hele aku maiwaena aku o ko'u poe kanaka, o olua a me na mamo a Iseraela: e hele, e hookauwa aku na Iehova, e like me ka olua i olelo mai ai.
32 Thathani lani izimvu zenu lenkomo zenu njengokutsho kwenu, lihambe; futhi lingibusise lami.
E lawe pu aku no i ka oukou poe hipa, a me ka oukou poe bipi, e like me ka olua i olelo ai, a e hele: a e hoomaikai hoi olua ia'u.
33 Njalo amaGibhithe ayebakhuthaza abantu ebahaluzelisa ukuthi baphume elizweni, ngoba athi: Sonke sifile.
Ikaika iho la ka manao o ko Aigupita, e kipaku koke ia lakou mai ka aina aku: no ka mea, Ua pau makou i ka make, wahi a lakou.
34 Abantu-ke bathatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa, betshata imiganu yabo yokuxovela ibotshelwe ezembathweni zabo.
Lawe mai la na kanaka i ka lakou berena maka, hu ole, a me ko lakou mau papawiliai, ua ope pu ia me ko lakou lole maluna o ko lakou mau hokua.
35 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengelizwi likaMozisi; bacela kumaGibhithe izinto zesiliva lezinto zegolide lezigqoko.
Hana iho la na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ka olelo ana a Mose, a nonoi aku la i ko Aigupita i na mea kala, a me na mea gula, a me na mea aahu.
36 INkosi yasibapha abantu umusa emehlweni amaGibhithe, aze abanika izicelo zabo. Basebewaphundla amaGibhithe.
A haawi mai la o Iehova i ka lokomaikaiia i na kanaka imua o ka maka o ko Aigupita, a haawi mai la lakou: pela lakou i hao ai i ko Aigupita.
37 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesuka eRamesesi besiya eSukothi; amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ahamba ngenyawo, ngaphandle kwabantwana.
Hele mai la na mamo a Iseraela mai Ramese a hiki i Sukota, eono paha haneri tausani kane i hele wawae, a he okoa na kamalii.
38 Kwasekusenyuka labo lexuku lenhlobonhlobo, lezimvu lezinkomo, lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu.
Hele pu mai la ka poe e he nui loa, i hui pu ia mai, a me na hipa, a me na bipi, he nui loa na holoholona.
39 Basebebhaka izinkwa ezingelamvubelo ngenhlama abayikhupha eGibhithe, ngoba ingavutshelwanga, ngoba baxotshwa eGibhithe, ngoba babengelakulibala, futhi bengazilungiselelanga umphako.
Pulehu iho la lakou i berena hu ole o ka berena maka a lakou i lawe mai ai mai Aigupita mai, aole ia i hu, no ka mea, ua kipakuia lakou mailoko mai o Aigupita, aole i hiki ia lakou ke kali, aole hoi lakou i hoomakaukau i o na lakou iho.
40 Isikhathi sokuhlala-ke kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abasihlala eGibhithe sasiyiminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu.
O ka noho ana o na mamo a Iseraela, i noho ai lakou ma Aigupita, eha haneri makahiki a me ke kanakolu.
41 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu, kwathi ngalona lolosuku wonke amabutho eNkosi aphuma elizweni leGibhithe.
A pau aku la ia mau makahiki eha haneri a me ke kanakolu, ia la no, hele mai la ka poe koa a pau o Iehova, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita.
42 Kuyibusuku bemilindo eNkosini ngokubakhupha elizweni leGibhithe; lobu yibusuku beNkosi bemilindo yabo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli ezizukulwaneni zabo.
He po ia e hoomanao nui ia'i no Iehova, no kona lawe ana mai ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita: eia no ka po o Iehova e hoomanaoia'i e na mamo a pau a Iseraela, ma na hanauna o lakou.
43 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi loAroni: Lesi yisimiso sephasika. Kakho owezizwe ongalidla;
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose laua o Aarona, Eia no ke kanawai o ka moliaola; aole e ai ke kanaka e i a mea.
44 kodwa sonke isigqili sawo wonke umuntu, esathengwa ngemali, nxa usisokile, ngalesosikhathi sizakudla kulo.
Aka, o ke kauwa a kela kanaka keia kanaka i kuaiia i ke kala, aia okipoepoe iho oe ia ia, alaila ia e ai iho ai ia mea.
45 Owezizwe loqhatshiweyo bangadli kulo.
O ke kanaka e, a me ke kauwa i hoolimalimaia, aole laua e ai ia mea.
46 Lizadlelwa endlini yinye; ungakhupheli phandle kwendlu okwenyama, ungephuli thambo lalo.
I ka hale hookahi no e aiia'i ia mea; mai lawe oukou i kekahi io ma kahi e aku mawaho o ka hale; mai uhai hoi oukou i kekahi iwi o ia mea.
47 Inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli izakwenza lokhu.
E hana no ke anaina kanaka o Iseraela a pau ia mea.
48 Uba owemzini ohlala lani njengowezizwe egcinela iNkosi iphasika, kabasokwe bonke abesilisa laye, abesesondela-ke aligcine, uzakuba njengowokuzalwa elizweni; kodwa kakho ongasokwanga ozalidla.
A i noho pu kekahi kanaka e me oe, a manao no ia e malama i ka moliaola no Iehova, e okipoepoeia kona poe kane a pau; alaila e hookokoke mai ia e malama ia mea; a e lilo ia i mea like me ka mea i hanauia ma ka aina: no ka mea, aole loa e ai kekahi ia mea, ke okipoepoe ole ia oia.
49 Umlayo munye uzakuba kowokuzalwa elizweni lakowemzini ohlala phakathi kwenu njengowezizwe.
Hookahi no kanawai no ke kanaka i hanauia ma ko oukou wahi, a me ke kanaka e, e noho pu ana me oukou.
50 Bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengalokhu iNkosi yayibalayile oMozisi loAroni; benza njalo.
Pela no i hana'i na mamo a Iseraela a pau; e like me ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose a ia Aarona, pela lakou i hana'i.
51 Kwasekusithi ngalona lolosuku iNkosi yabakhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe ngamabutho abo.
Ia la no, lawe mai la no o Iehova i na mamo a Iseraela mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, ma ko lakou poe koa.
