Baxniintii 16
1 Markaasay ka ambabbexeen Eelim, oo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay yimaadeen cidlada Siin la yidhaahdo, taasoo u dhaxaysa Eelim iyo Siinay, waxayna ahayd bishii labaad, maalinteedii shan iyo tobnaad, taasoo ka dambaysay baxniintii ay Masar ka soo bexeen.
Uzulu wonke wako-Israyeli wasuka e-Elimi, wafika enkangala yeSini ephakathi laphakathi kwe-Elimi leSinayi ngelanga letshumi lanhlanu enyangeni yesibili besuke eGibhithe.
2 Markaasaa shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu cidladii Muuse iyo Haaruun ugu gunuuseen.
Enkangala uzulu wakhonona kuMosi lo-Aroni.
3 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay iyagii ku yidhaahdeen, Waxaa noo wanaagsanaan lahayd inaannu gacanta Rabbiga ku dhimanno, annagoo dalkii Masar joogna, intii aannu ag fadhinnay dheryaha hilibka ah, oo aannu kibis ka dhergaynay, waayo, waxaad cidladan noogu soo bixiseen inaad ururkan oo dhan gaajo ku dishaan.
Abako-Israyeli bathi kubo, “Ngabe sazifela ngesandla sikaThixo eGibhithe, lapho esasihlala sigombolozele imbiza zenyama lakho konke ukudla esasikufumana, kodwa lina selisilethe lapha enkangala ukuze ixuku lonke leli liyathe ngendlala.”
4 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan samada idiinka soo dayn doonaa kibis, oo dadku waa inay dibadda u baxaan oo maalin walba soo urursadaan in maalin ku filan, si aan u tijaabiyo iyaga, bal inay sharcigayga ku socdaan iyo in kale.
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Ngizalehlisela isinkwa sivela ezulwini. Abantu kumele baphume nsuku zonke bayebutha okwanela lelolanga. Ngale indlela ngizabalinga ukuze ngibone ukuthi bayayilandela yini imilayo yami.
5 Oo maalinta lixaad waa inay diyaarsadaan wixii ay soo gurteen, kolkaasay noqon doontaa intii ay maalin walba guran jireen in labanlaabkeed ah.
Ngelanga lesithupha kumele balungise lokho abayabe bekulethile, okumele kube ngokuphindwe kabili kulokho abakubutha kwezinye insuku.”
6 Markaasaa Muuse iyo Haaruun waxay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku yidhaahdeen, Makhribka baad ogaan doontaan inuu Rabbigu idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar,
Yikho-ke uMosi lo-Aroni bathi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli, “Kusihlwa lizakwazi ukuthi nguThixo olikhuphe kweleGibhithe,
7 oo subaxdana waxaad arki doontaan ammaantii Rabbiga, waayo, wuu maqlayaa gunuuskiinna aad Rabbiga u gunuusaysaan. Oo annagu maxaannu nahay oo aad noogu gunuusaysaan?
njalo ekuseni lizabona inkazimulo kaThixo ngoba ukuzwile ukukhonona kwenu. Singobani thina ukuba lisisole?”
8 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi; Rabbigu makhribka wuxuu idin siin doonaa hilib aad cuntaan, subaxdana wuxuu idin siin doonaa kibis aad ka dheregtaan; maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu maqlayaa gunuuskiinna aad isaga u gunuusaysaan. Bal maxaannu annagu nahay? Annaga noo gunuusi maysaane, ee waxaad u gunuusaysaan Rabbiga.
UMosi wathi, “Lizakwazi ukuthi bekunguThixo nxa eselipha inyama yokudla kusihlwa lesinkwa sonke elisifunayo ekuseni ngenxa yokuthi usekuzwile ukukhonona kwenu kuye. Singobani? Kalikhononi kithi kodwa kuThixo.”
9 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, Shirka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga hortiisa ku soo dhowaada; waayo, wuu maqlay gunuuskiinnii.
Ngakho uMosi watshela u-Aroni wathi, “Khuluma lozulu wonke wako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Wozani kuThixo ngoba usekuzwile ukukhonona kwenu.’”
10 Intii Haaruun la hadlayay shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan waxay eegeen xaggii cidlada, oo bal eeg, ammaantii Rabbiga ayaa daruurtii ka dhex muuqatay.
Ngesikhathi u-Aroni ekhuluma lozulu wonke wako-Israyeli, bakhangela enkangala basebebona inkazimulo kaThixo ibonakala eyezini.
11 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay, oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi,
UThixo wathi kuMosi:
12 Anigu waan maqlay gunuuskii reer binu Israa'iil; haddaba la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Makhribka waxaad cuni doontaan hilib, subaxdana waxaad ka dhergi doontaan kibis; oo waad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
“Sengizwile ukukhonona kwabako-Israyeli. Batshele ukuthi, ‘Kusihlwa lizakudla inyama njalo ekuseni lizasuthiswa ngesinkwa. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.’”
13 Oo waxaa dhacday in makhribkii digaagduur yimaadeen oo ay xeradii oo dhan qariyeen, oo subaxdiina waxaa degmadii hareeraheeda ku soo degay sayax.
Ngalokhokuhlwa kweza izagwaca zagcwala indawo yonke ababehlala kuyo, njalo ekuseni kwaba lamazolo ngaphandle kwezihonqo.
14 Oo markii sayaxii soo degay baabba'ay ayaa waxaa dhulkii cidlada ku hadhay wax yaryar oo goobaaban oo laale'eg sayax barafoobay.
Kwathi amazolo esenyamalele kwabonakala izicecedwana ezifana longqwaqwane phezu kwenkangala.
15 Oo markay reer binu Israa'iil arkeen ayaa midkoodba ka kale ku yidhi, Maxay tahay? Waayo, ma ay garanayn waxay tahay. Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Tanu waa kibistii Rabbigu idiin siiyey inaad cuntaan.
Kwathi abako-Israyeli bekubona lokhu bakhulumisana besithi, “Kuyini lokhu?” Ngoba babengakwazi ukuthi kwakuyini. UMosi wathi kubo, “Yisinkwa elisiphiwe nguThixo ukuthi lidle.
16 Waxanu waa wixii Rabbigu idinku amray, Nin waluba ha ka gurto in cuntadiisa ugu filan, inta dadkiinna tiradiisu tahay, qofkiiba comer muggiis ha qaato, oo nin waluba inta teendhadiisa joogta ha u qayb qaado.
Lokhu yikho okulaywe nguThixo ukuthi: ‘Umuntu emunye uzathatha okwaneleyo akuswelayo. Thathela umuntu ngamunye osethenteni lakho isilinganiso se-omeri.’”
17 Oo reer binu Israa'iil sidaasay yeeleen, oo qaarna wax badan buu soo gurtay, qaarna wax yar.
Abako-Israyeli benza njengokulaywa kwabo. Abanye babutha okunengi abanye okulutshwana.
18 Oo markay comerkii ku qiyaaseen, kii wax badan soo gurtay waxba kama hadhin, kii wax yar soo gurtayna waxba kama dhinmin, oo nin waluba in cuntadiisa ugu filan buu soo gurtay.
Bathi sebekulinganisa nge-omeri babona ukuthi lowo owabutha okunengi kabanga lokunengi kakhulu, lalowo owabutha okulutshwana kabanga lokulutshwana kakhulu. Umuntu wonke wabutha okwakumenela.
19 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninna yuusan wax ka reebin ilaa subaxda.
Ngakho-ke uMosi wathi kubo, “Akumelanga kubekhona ozagcina okunye kwalokho kuze kube sekuseni.”
20 Habase yeeshee Muuse ma ay dhegaysan, laakiinse qaarkood baa wax ka reebay ilaa subaxdii, kolkaasaa dirxi galay, oo ay urtay. Markaasaa Muusena iyagii u cadhooday.
Lanxa kunjalo abanye kabazange bamlalele uMosi: bagcina eyinye ingxenye kwaze kwaba sekuseni. Kodwa kwakugcwele impethu njalo kwasekulephunga elibi. UMosi wabathukuthelela.
21 Oo subax kasta nin waluba wuxuu guran jiray in cuntadiisa ugu filan; oo markii qorraxdu soo kululaatana, way dhalaali jirtay.
Nsuku zonke ekuseni umuntu emunye wabutha isilinganiso ayesifuna, njalo ilanga lathi selitshisa kwancibilika.
22 Oo maalintii lixaad waxay soo gurteen kibistii hore labanlaabkeed, qof waluba wuxuu soo gurtay laba comer, markaasaa taliyayaashii shirka oo dhammu intay u yimaadeen Muuse u sheegeen.
Ngelanga lesithupha babutha isilinganiso esiphindwe kabili ama-omeri amabili umuntu emunye, njalo abakhokheli babantu beza ukuzobika kuMosi.
23 Kolkaasuu wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxanu waa wixii Rabbigu ku hadlay, Berri waa maalin weyn oo nasasho ah, oo waa sabti quduus u ah Rabbiga. Wixii aad duban lahaydeen dubta, oo wixii aad karin lahaydeen kariya, oo wax alla wixii idiin hadha meel dhigta oo ha idiin yaalleen ilaa subaxda.
Wathi kubo, “Lokhu yikho okwalaywa nguThixo: ‘Kusasa lilanga lokuphumula iSabatha elingcwele kuThixo. Ngakho bhekhani konke elifuna ukukubhekha, libilise konke elifuna ukukubilisa. Gcinani konke okuseleyo kuze kube sekuseni.’”
24 Kolkaasay meel dhigteen ilaa subaxdii, sidii Muuse ku amray; oo mana ay urin, dirxina laguma arag.
Ngakho bakugcina kwaze kwaba sekuseni njengokulaya kukaMosi njalo kakuzange kube lephunga kumbe impethu.
25 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi, Intan maanta cuna; waayo, maanta waa maalin sabti u ah Rabbiga; oo maanta waxba duurka ka heli maysaan.
UMosi wathi, “Kudleni namuhla, ngoba namuhla liSabatha likaThixo, kalisoze lithole lutho phandle namuhla.
26 Lix maalmood waa inaad soo gurataan, laakiinse maalinta toddobaad waa sabtida, oo maalintaas waxba ma jiri doonaan innaba.
Okwensuku eziyisithupha lizakubutha, kodwa ngelanga lesikhombisa eleSabatha akusoze kube lalutho.”
27 Oo waxaa dhacday maalintii toddobaad inay dadkii qaarkood dibadda u bexeen inay wax soo gurtaan, laakiinse waxba ma ay helin.
Lanxa kunjalo abanye abantu ngelanga lesikhombisa bahamba ukuba bayobutha kodwa bafica kungelalutho.
28 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Ilaa goormaad diidaysaan inaad dhawrtaan amarradayda iyo qaynuunnadayda?
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Kuzaze kube nini lisala ukulandela imithetho lemilayo yami na?
29 Bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu idin siiyey sabtida, oo sidaas daraaddeed buu isagu maalintii lixaad idiin siiyey kibis laba maalmood idinku filan; haddaba nin kasta oo idinka mid ahu meeshiisa ha joogo, oo maalinta toddobaad ninna yuusan meeshiisa ka bixin.
Kufakeni ezingqondweni zenu ukuthi uThixo ulinikile iSabatha, yikho ngelanga lesithupha elinika isinkwa esenela insuku ezimbili. Wonke umuntu kumele ahlale lapho ayabe ekhona ngelanga lesikhombisa. Akulamuntu okumele aphume phandle.”
30 Oo sidaas daraaddeed baa dadkii maalintii toddobaad u nasteen.
Yikho-ke abantu baphumula ngelanga lesikhombisa.
31 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay magaceedii u bixiyeen Maanna; oo waxay u caddayd sida midhaha koryander la yidhaahdo, waxayna u dhadhan ekayd sidii buskud malab lagu sameeyey.
Abantu bako-Israyeli babiza isinkwa leso bathi yimana. Sasimhlophe njengentanga zekhoriyanda, sihlabusa njengamakhekhe enziwe ngoluju.
32 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi, Waxanu waa wixii Rabbigu idinku amray, oo wuxuu yidhi, Comer muggiis ha loo dhigo farcankiinna dambe, inay arkaan kibistii aan idinku masruufi jiray markaad cidlada joogteen oo aan dalkii Masar idinka soo bixiyey.
UMosi wathi, “Lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo ukuthi: ‘Thathani imana eyisilinganiso se-omeri ligcinele izizukulwane ezizayo ukuze zibone isinkwa engalinika sona ukuba lisidle enkangala ekulikhupheni kwami eGibhithe.’”
33 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, Weel qaado oo waxaad ku shubtaa comer muggiis oo Maanna ah, oo Rabbiga hor dhig in loo hayo farcankiinna dambe.
UMosi wasesithi ku-Aroni, “Thatha inkonxa ufake phakathi imana eyisilinganiso se-omeri. Ibeke phambi kukaThixo ukuze igcinelwe izizukulwane ezizayo.”
34 Sidii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray ayaa Haaruun Maragga hortiis u dhigay, in loo hayo aawadeed.
Njengoba uThixo walaya uMosi, u-Aroni wabeka imana lezibhebhedu zobufakazi ukuze igcinakale.
35 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay maannadii cunayeen afartan sannadood, ilaa ay yimaadeen dhul la deggan yahay. Waxay cuni jireen maannadii ilaa ay yimaadeen dalkii reer Kancaan xadkiisii.
Abako-Israyeli badla imana okweminyaka engamatshumi amane baze bafika endaweni eyayihlala abantu, badla imana baze bafika emngceleni weKhenani.
36 Comer waa eefaah toban meelood loo dhigay meeshiis.
(I-omere iyisilinganiso sokulitshumi sehefa.)
