U-Eksodusi 16
1 Basebesuka eElimi, lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yafika enkangala yeSini, ephakathi kweElimi leSinayi, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga yesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo elizweni leGibhithe.
HELE mai la lakou, mai Elima mai, a hiki mai la ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela i ka waonahele i Sina, he wahi ia mawaena o, Elima a me Sinai, o ka la umikumamalima ia o ka malama alua, mai ko lakou puka ana mai iwaho, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
2 Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yakhonona imelana loMozisi loAroni enkangala.
Ohumu ae la ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela ia Mose ma laua o Aarona, ma ka waonahele;
3 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kubo: Kungathi ngabe safa ngesandla seNkosi elizweni leGibhithe lapho sasihlezi embizeni zenyama, lapho sadla isinkwa sasutha; ngoba lisikhuphele kulinkangala ukuze libulale lelibandla lonke ngendlala.
I mai la na mamo a Iseraela ia laua, Ina i haawiia mai ka make no kakou, i ka lima o Iehova, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka wa a kakou i noho ai ma na ipu ia, a ai aku no hoi kakou i ka ai a maona; no ka mea, ua lawe mai olua ia kakou, maloko o keia waonahele, e pepehi i keia poe a pau i ka pololi.
4 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, ngizalinisela isinkwa sivela emazulwini; labantu bazaphuma ukubutha isabelo sosuku ngosuku lwaso, ukuze ngibalinge ukuthi bazahamba ngomlayo wami yini kumbe hayi.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, e hooua aku au i ka ai, mai ka lani aku; a e hele aku na kanaka mawaho, e hoouluulu i ko ka la ma ia la, i hoao aku ai au ia lakou, e hele paha lakou ma ko'u kanawai, aole paha.
5 Kuzakuthi-ke ngosuku lwesithupha bazalungisa lokho abakulethileyo, njalo kuzabe kuphindwe kabili kulokho abakubuthayo insuku ngensuku.
A hiki i ka la aono, e hoomakaukau lakou i ka mea a lakou e lawe mai ai iloko; e papalua ia i ka mea a lakou e hoouluulu ai i kela la i keia la.
6 UMozisi loAroni basebesithi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli: Kusihlwa, khona lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi ilikhuphile elizweni leGibhithe;
Olelo mai la o Mose laua o Aarona i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, A ahiahi, alaila oukou e ike, na Iehova no oukou i lawe mai nei, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita:
7 njalo kusisa, khona lizabona inkazimulo yeNkosi, ngoba izwile ukukhonona kwenu limelene leNkosi. Thina-ke siyini ukuthi lisikhononele?
A kakahiaka, alaila oukou e ike ai i ka nani o Iehova; no kona hoolohe ana i ka mea a oukou i ohumu aku ai ia Iehova: heaha hoi maua, i ohumu mai ai oukou ia maua?
8 UMozisi wasesithi: Lapho iNkosi ilinika inyama yokudla kusihlwa, lesinkwa ekuseni, ukuze lisuthe, kungoba iNkosi izwile ukukhonona kwenu elikukhonona limelene layo. Ngoba thina siyini? Ukukhonona kwenu kakumelananga lathi, kodwa kumelene leNkosi.
I mai la o Mose, E haawi mai ana o Iehova i ke ahiahi, i ia na oukou e ai ai, a kakahiaka i ai e maona ai; no ka mea, ua lohe mai o Iehova i ka ohumu ana a oukou i ohumu aku ai ia ia: Heaha hoi o maua? aole no maua ka oukou ohumu ana, aka, no Iehova.
9 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Tshono kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Sondelani phambi kweNkosi, ngoba izwile ukukhonona kwenu.
Olelo ae la o Mose ia Aarona, E i aku oe i ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela, E hele mai lakou imua i ke alo o Iehova: no ka mea, ua lohe ia i ka oukou ohumu ana.
10 Kwasekusithi uAroni esakhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, bakhangela ngasenkangala, khangela-ke, inkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala eyezini.
A i ka Aarona olelo ana i ka poe mamo a pau a Iseraela, alawa ae la lakou ma ka waonahele, aia hoi, ikea aku la ka nani o Iehova ma ke ao.
11 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
12 Sengizwile ukukhonona kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli; batshele uthi: Kusihlwa lizakudla inyama, lekuseni lisuthe isinkwa, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Ua lohe au i na ohumu ana a na mamo a Iseraela: E olelo aku oe ia lakou, e i aku, A ahiahi, e ai ana oukou i ka ia, a kakahiaka ae, e maona oukou i ka ai: a e ike auanei oukou, owau no Iehova, ko oukou Akua.
13 Kwasekusithi ntambama kwenyuka izagwaca, zasibekela inkamba; lakusisa kwakulomlalela wamazolo uzingelezele inkamba.
A i ke ahiahi, hiki mai la na selu, a uhi mai la ma kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i: a kakahiaka ae, ahu iho la ka hau, a puni na kahua.
14 Kwathi umlalela wamazolo usuwenyukile, khangela-ke, phezu kobuso benkangala into eyisigaqa encinyane, incinyane njengongqwaqwane emhlabathini.
A i ka lele ana o ka hau i ahuia mai ai, aia hoi, ma ka ili honua o ka waonahele, he mea liilii me he unahi la, me he hau paa la ka liilii.
15 Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bezibona bathi omunye komunye: Yimana. Ngoba babengazi ukuthi kuyini. UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Kuyisinkwa iNkosi elinike sona ukuze lidle.
A ike aku la na mamo a Iseraela, olelo ae la kekahi o na kanaka i kona hoa, Heaha keia? no ka mea, aole lakou i ike ia mea. Olelo mai la o Mose ia lakou, Eia ka ai a Iehova i haawi mai ai, i mea na oukou o ai ai.
16 Le yinto iNkosi elilaye ngayo yathi: Ngulowo lalowo kabuthe kuyo okulingene ukudla kwakhe, i-omeri ngekhanda, njengenani lemiphefumulo yenu, ngulowo uzathathela abasethenteni lakhe.
Eia hoi ka olelo a Iehova i kauoha mai ai, E hoiliili ke kanaka ia mea, e like me ka kona waha e ai ai, hookahi kanaka hookahi omera; e lawe oukou a pau e like me ka nui o ko oukou poe, o kela kanaka keia kanaka no ka poe o kona halelewa.
17 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njalo, babutha, omunye okunengi lomunye okulutshwana.
Hana iho la na mamo a Iseraela pela, a he nui ka kekahi i hoiliili ai, a he uuku iho ka kekahi.
18 Sebelinganise nge-omeri, lowo owayebuthe okunengi kabanga lokusalayo, lowayebuthe okulutshwana kaswelanga; babutha, ngulowo lalowo okulingene ukudla kwakhe.
A i ko lakou ana ana ma ka omera, o ka mea hoiliili nui, aohe ana i koe, a o ka mea hoiliili uuku, aole hoi i emi kana: hoiliili kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me ka kona waha i ai ai.
19 UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Kakungabi lamuntu otshiya kukho kuze kube sekuseni.
I aku la o Mose ia lakou, Mai hookoe kekahi kanaka ia mea a kakahiaka.
20 Kodwa kabamlalelanga uMozisi; kodwa abanye batshiya kukho kwaze kwaba sekuseni, kwasekuphethuza impethu, kwaba levumba. Ngakho uMozisi wabathukuthelela.
Aole nae lakou i hoolohe mai i ka Mose; hookoe no kekahi ia mea a kakahiaka, a piha iho la ia i na ilo, a pilau no hoi: a huhu aku la o Mose ia lakou.
21 Bakubutha ukusa ngokusa, ngulowo lalowo okulingene ukudla kwakhe; lapho ilanga selitshisa, kwancibilika.
Hoiliili lakou ia mea i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, o kanaka a pau e like me ka lakou ai ana; a i ka wa i mahana ae ai ka la, hehee iho la ia mea.
22 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithupha babutha isinkwa esiphindwe kabili, ama-omeri amabili ngamunye. Njalo zonke izinduna zenhlangano zeza zamtshela uMozisi.
A hiki i ka la eono, hoiliili papalua iho la lakou i ka ai, elua omera a ke kanaka hookahi: a hele aku la na luna a pau o na kanaka, a hai aku la ia Mose.
23 Wasesithi kuzo: Lokhu yikho iNkosi ekutshiloyo: Kusasa yikuphumula, isabatha elingcwele leNkosi. Bhakani elizakubhaka, lipheke elizakupheka, konke lokho okuseleyo lizibekele kugcinwe kuze kube sekuseni.
I mai la ia ia lakou, Oia hoi ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai, i ka la apopo ka hoomaha ana o ka sabati laa no Iehova: ka mea a oukou e kalua ai, e kalua, a o ka mea a oukou e hoolapalapa ai, e hoolapalapa: a o ke koena a pau e hoana e oukou, i malamaia ia mea na oukou no ke kakahiaka.
24 Basebekubeka kwaze kwaba sekuseni njengokulaya kukaMozisi. Njalo kakubanga levumba, kwakungelampethu kukho.
Hoana e no lakou ia mea, a kakahiaka, e like me ka Mose i kauoha mai ai; aole hoi ia i pilau, aohe ilo hoi maloko o ia mea.
25 UMozisi wasesithi: Dlanini lokhu lamuhla, ngoba lamuhla kulisabatha leNkosi; lamuhla kaliyikukuthola egangeni.
I mai la o Mose, E ai oukou ia mea i keia la; no ka mea, eia ka sabati no Iehova, i keia la aole e loaa ia mea ma ke kula.
26 Lizakubutha insuku eziyisithupha; kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, isabatha, kakuyikuba khona kulo.
Eono o oukou la e hoouluulu ai; a o ka hiku o ka la, o ka sabati ia, ia la, aole.
27 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa abanye babantu baphuma ukubutha, kodwa kabakutholanga.
A i ka hiku o ka la, hele aku la no kekahi o na kanaka e hoouluulu, aole nae i loaa ia lakou.
28 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lisala ukugcina imilayo yami lemithetho yami?
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou hoole ana, aole e malama i ka'u mau kauoha, a me ko'u mau kanawai?
29 Bonani, ngoba iNkosi ilinikile isabatha, ngakho ilinika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sensuku ezimbili; hlalani kube ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, kakungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
E nana hoi, no ka mea, ua haawi aku o Iehova ia oukou i ka sabati: no ia mea, ua haawi aku la ia na oukou ma ke ono o ka la, i ai no na la elua; e noho oukou, o keia kanaka keia kanaka ma kona wahi iho; mai hele ke kanaka mai kona wahi aku i ka la sabati.
30 Ngakho abantu baphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
A hoomaha iho la na kanaka ma ka hiku o ka la.
31 Indlu yakoIsrayeli yasibiza ibizo lakho ngokuthi yimana; njalo kwakunjengenhlanyelo yekhoriyanderi emhlophe, lokunambitheka kwayo kwakunjengezinkwana eziyizipatalala eziloluju.
Kapa aku ka ohana Iseraela i ka inoa o ia mea he Mane: ua like no ia me ka hua koriana, ua keokeo; a i ka ai ana ua like no ia me na wepa me ka meli.
32 UMozisi wasesithi: Le yinto iNkosi elaye ngayo ukuthi: Gcwalisani i-omeri ngayo igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu, ukuze zibone isinkwa engalinika sona ukuthi lidle enkangala ekulikhupheni kwami elizweni leGibhithe.
I mai la o Mose, Eia ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai nei, E hoopiha i kekahi omera o ia mea, i malama loa ia no kau poe mamo; i ike lakou i ka ai a'u i hanai aku ai ia oukou ma ka waonahele, i ka wa a'u i lawe mai ai ia oukou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai.
33 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Thatha inqayi eyodwa, ufake kuyo i-omeri eligcwele imana, uyibeke phambi kweNkosi, igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu.
I ae la o Mose ia Aarona, E lawe oe i ipu, a e hahao iloko i kekahi omera a piha i ka mane, a e hoana e imua i ke alo o Iehova, i malama loa ia ia mea no kau poe mamo.
34 Njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, uAroni wayibeka phambi kobufakazi ukuze igcinwe.
E like me ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose, pela i hoana e ai o Aarona ia mea imua i ke alo o ke kanawai e malama loa ia'i.
35 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli-ke badla imana iminyaka engamatshumi amane baze bafika elizweni elakhiweyo. Badla imana baze bafika emngceleni welizwe leKhanani.
Ai iho la na mamo o Iseraela i ka mane hookahi kanaha makahiki, a hiki lakou i ka aina kanaka; ai no lakou i ka mane, a hiki lakou i ke kihi o ka aina i Kanaana.
36 I-omeri-ke ingokwetshumi kwe-efa.
Hookahi omera, he hapanmi ia no ka epa.
