UDuteronomi 31
Umlandeli kaMose: uJoshuwa
1UMose wahamba wakhuluma lawa mazwi ku-Israyeli wonke.
2Wathi kubo: “Namuhla ngineminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili; Angisakwazi ukungena nokuphuma; uJehova wathi kimi: “Awuyikuliwela leli Jordani.”
3UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nguyena oyakuwela phambi kwakho, achithe lezi zizwe phambi kwakho, uzidle; uJoshuwa yena uyakuphuma phambi kwenu, njengalokho eshilo uJehova.
4UJehova uyakwenza kubo njengalokho enzile kuSihoni no-Ogi, amakhosi ama-Amori, nasezweni labo abachitha.
5UJehova uyakuzikhulula phambi kobuso bakho, ukuze nenze kuzo njengemiyalo yonke enginiyale ngayo.
6Qinani, niqine, ningabesabi, ningabesabi; ngoba nguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ohamba lawe; Ngeke akulahle noma akushiye.
7UMose wambiza uJoshuwa, wathi kuye phambi kwamehlo ka-Israyeli wonke: “Qina, ume isibindi, ngokuba uyakuhamba nalaba bantu, uye ezweni uJehova alifungela oyise ukubanika lona. Nika; futhi kumelwe ubavumele ukuba balidle njengefa.
8NguJehova ohamba phambi kwakho; uyakuba nawe, akayikukushiya, akayikukushiya; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla.
9UMose wawuloba lo mthetho, wawunika abapristi, amadodana kaLevi, ababethwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, nawo wonke amalunga akwa-Israyeli.
10UMose wabayala, wathi: “Njalo ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa ngomkhosi womnyaka wokukhululwa, ngomkhosi wamadokodo,
11Lapho wonke u-Israyeli efika ukubonakala phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni ayakuyikhetha, kumelwe ufunde lo mthetho phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke ezindlebeni zabo.
12Buthani abantu, amadoda, nabesifazane, nabantwana, nomfokazi osemasangweni enu, ukuba bezwe, bafunde, besabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, bagcine ngokucophelela onke amazwi alo mthetho.
13Ukuze abantwana babo, ababengazi lutho, bezwe, bafunde ukumesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, zonke izinsuku zisahleli ezweni eniwela iJordani ukulidla.
14UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bheka, izinsuku zakho zisondele ukuba ufe; wamemeza uJoshuwa, nimisa etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba ngimyale. OMose noJoshuwa bahamba, babangenisa etendeni lokuhlangana.
15UJehova wabonakala etabernakele esensikeni yefu, nensika yefu yema phezu komnyango wetabernakele.
16UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Bheka, wena uyakulala koyihlo; lababantu bayakusukuma baphinge nonkulunkulu babafokazi bezwe abaya kulo ukuba bahlale phakathi kwabo, bangilahle, baphule isivumelwano sami engasenza nabo.
17Intukuthelo yami iyakubavuthela ngalolo suku, ngibashiye, ngifihle ubuso bami kubo, baqedwe, behlelwe ububi obuningi nezinsizi; ngalokho bayakuthi ngalolo suku: ‘Lokhu okubi akusehlele yini, lokhu uNkulunkulu wethu engekho phakathi kwethu na?
18Ngiyakufihla nokubufihla ubuso bami ngalolo suku kukho konke okubi abakwenzileyo ngokuphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu.
19Manje zibhaleleni lelihubo, nibafundise abantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ulibeke emlonyeni wabo, ukuze lelihubo libe ngufakazi wami kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
20Ngokuba uma ngibangenisa ezweni engalifungela oyise ngesifungo, elivame ubisi nezinyosi; bayakudla, basuthe, bakhuluphale; bese bephendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonze, bangigcone, bephule isivumelwano Sami.
21“Kuyakuthi lapho ububi obuningi nezinsizi bubehlela, le ngoma ifakaze ngabo, ibe ngufakazi; ngokuba akuyikukhohlakala emilonyeni yezizukulwane zabo; ngoba mina ngiyayazi imicabango yabo abayizulazulayo khathesi, ngingakafiki elizweni engathembisa ngalo ngesifungo.
22UMose waliloba lelihubo ngalona lolo suku, walifundisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
23Wayala uJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni, wathi: “Qina, uqine, ngokuba uyakubangenisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni engabathembisa lona ngesifungo, mina ngiyakuba nawe.”
24Kwathi uMose eseqedile ukubhala amazwi alo mthetho encwadini aze aphela,
25UMose wayala amaLevi athwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, wathi:
26Thathani le ncwadi yomthetho, niyibeke eceleni komphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ibe khona njengobufakazi ngani.
27Ngokuba ngiyabazi ubulukhuni bakho nentamo yakho elukhuni; bhekani, ngisekhona nani namuhla nihlubukile kuJehova; Kakhulu kangakanani emva kokufa kwami?
28Ngibuthele onke amalunga ezizwe zakho nezinceku zakho ukuba ngikhulume lawa mazwi ezindlebeni zabo, ngibize izulu nomhlaba ngokumelene nabo.
29Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi emva kokufa kwami niyozibhubhisa ngokuphelele, futhi niyophambuka endleleni enganiyala ngayo; ububi buyakukwehlela ekupheleni kwezinsuku; ngokuba niyakwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba nimcunule ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu.
30UMose wawakhuluma amazwi ale ngoma ezindlebeni zayo yonke inhlangano yakwa-Israyeli, yaze yaphela.
