Akwaba besifele ezweni laseYiputa! Ukukrokra koonyana bakaSirayeli
1Laduma lonke ibandla; balila abantu ngobo busuku. 2Babakrokrela ooMoses noAron bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli, lathi kubo lonke ibandla, Akwaba besifele ezweni laseYiputa! okanye uThixo angasibulala kule ntlango! 3Kwakutheni ukuze uYehova asizise kweli hlabathi ukuze sibulawe ngekrele, baze abafazi nabantwana bethu babe ngabathinjwa? Akusilungele na kanye ukuba sibuyele eYiputa? 4Bathetha omnye komnye besithi, Masizinyulele ukumkani, sibuyele eYiputa. 5Bawa ngobuso uMoses noAron phambi kwebandla lonke lebandla loonyana bakaSirayeli. 6uYoshuwa unyana kaNun, noKalebhi unyana kaYefune, ababephakathi kwabo babethimbe ilizwe, bazikrazula iingubo zabo. 7Athetha kwisihlwele sonke soonyana bakaSirayeli, esithi, Ilizwe esacanda kulo silihlola, lilizwe elihle kunene. 8Ukuba uYehova uyakholiswa sithi, wosisa kweli lizwe, asinike; lilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi. 9Kodwa musani ukugwilika kuYehova, ningaboyiki abantu belo zwe nina; ngokuba kukudla kwethu; Umkile kubo ikhusi labo, ngokuba uYehova unathi; musani ukuboyika. 10Lathi lonke ibandla mabaxulutywe ngamatye. Babonakala ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova ententeni yokuhlangana, phambi koonyana bonke bakaSirayeli. 11Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Kuya kuda kube nini na bengandithobeli aba bantu? kwaye kuyakuthatha ixesha elingakanani phambi kokuba bandikholelwe, ngenxa yayo yonke imimangaliso endiyenzileyo phakathi kwabo? 12Ndiya kuwohlwaya ngesibetho ndize ndiwuhluthe, ndikwenze ube luhlanga olukhulu nolomeleleyo kunalo. 13Wathi uMoses kuYehova, AmaYiputa avile, ukuba ulukhuphe ngesandla sakho olu hlanga phakathi kwawo; 14Boxelela abantu beli lizwe, ngokuba bevile ukuba iNkosi yakho iphakathi kwaba bantu, nokuba iNkosi yakho ibonwa ubuso ngobuso, nokuba ilifu lakho liphezu kwabo, ubakhokela emini kubumnyama belifu nakubumnyama bomlilo ebusuku. 15Ukuba uthe walubulala lonke olu hlanga njengamntu mnye, zothi iintlanga eziluvileyo udumo lwakho, zithi, 16Ngenxa yokuba uYehova ebengenako ukubasa aba bantu ezweni abebafungele lona, ngenxa yoko wababulala entlango. 17Ke kaloku, ngamana amandla enkosi yam abe makhulu, njengoko uthethileyo ukuthi: 18uYehova uzeka kade umsindo, unemfesane enkulu, uxolela ubugwenxa nezikreqo, angamenzi msulwa onetyala, ubuvelela ubugwenxa booyise koonyana, kwesesithathu nakwesesine isizukulwana. 19Buxolele ubugwenxa baba bantu ngobuninzi benceba yakho, njengoko ubuxoleleyo ubugwenxa baba bantu, uthabathele eYiputa wezisa apha. 20Wathi uYehova, Ndikuxolele ngelizwi lakho. 21Noko ke, ndiphila nje, ihlabathi lonke liya kuzaliswa bubuqaqawuli bukaYehova. 22Ekubeni bonke bebubonile ubuqaqawuli bam, nemisebenzi yam ebalulekileyo endayenzayo eYiputa nasentlango, bandilingile ngoku izihlandlo ezilishumi, abaliphulaphula izwi lam; 23Okunene abayi kulibona ilizwe endafunga kooyise ngalo, bengaliboni namnye kwabandingcikivayo; 24Ke yena umkhonzi wam uKalebhi, ngenxa enokuba ebenamoya wumbi, wandilandela kwaphela, ndomzisa ezweni ebeye kulo; Ilidle ilifa imbewu yakhe. 25Abemi ke ama-Amaleki namaKanan entilini leyo. Jikani ngomso, niye entlango ngendlela eya eShelfeshe; 26Wathetha uYehova kuMoses nakuAron, esithi, 27Kuya kuda kube nini na ndilithwele eli bandla lingendawo likrokrayo? Ndeva ke ukuduma koonyana bakaSirayeli, ekuthetheni kwabo ngam. 28Yithi kubo, Ndihleli nje, utsho uYehova, njengoko nithethileyo ezindlebeni zam, ndiya kwenjenjalo kuni. 29Izidumbu zenu ziya kuwa kule ntlango; nabo bonke ababhaliweyo ngani, bebonke ngokwenani lenu, bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mabini ezelwe, kwesa kwabakhulu, bona badunyiswa ndim. 30Aniyi kungena kulo ilizwe endafungayo ukuba ndonenza kulo, ngaphandle kukaKalebhi unyana kaYefune noYoshuwa unyana kaNun. 31Kodwa nina bantwana abancinane enithe niya kuthinjwa, ndiya kubazisa, yaye baya kulazi ilizwe enilicekisileyo. 32Kodwa nina, imizimba yenu, niya kuwa kule ntlango. 33Oonyana bakho baya kubhadula entlango iminyaka emashumi mane, besenza ubuhenyu babo, zide izidumbu zabo ziphele entlango. 34Ngokwenani leentsuku enalihlola ngalo ilizwe, iintsuku ezimashumi mane, umhla ube ngumnyaka, uya kuzithwala izono zenu iminyaka emashumi mane, nilaphule ke ilizwi lam. 35Mna, iNkosi, ndathi: Ndiya kuyenza le nto kulo lonke eli bandla likhohlakeleyo elindihlanganiseleyo; baya kutshabalala kule ntlango, bafele khona. 36Amadoda awawathumayo uMoses ukuba aye kuhlola ilizwe, abuya alikrokrisa lonke ibandla ngaye ngokuyihleka ilizwe. 37Kwanaloo madoda azisa ingxelo embi elizweni abulawa sisibetho eso phambi koYehova. 38Kodwa uYoshuwa unyana kaNun noKalebhi unyana kaYefune, ababephakathi kwamadoda awayeye kuhlola ilizwe, babesaphila. 39Wawathetha ke uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli bonke loo mazwi, bakhala abantu kakhulu. 40Bavuka kusasa, benyuka baya encotsheni yentaba, besithi, Yabona, sikho, siyanyuka siye kuloo ndawo wayithembisa uYehova, ngokuba soyisakele. 41Wathi uMoses, Yini na ukuba niwaphule umthetho kaYehova? kodwa ayiyi kuphumelela. 42Musani ukunyuka, kuba uYehova akakho phakathi kwenu; hleze nigxothwe ziintshaba zenu. 43Ngokuba ama-Amaleki namaKanan aphambi kwenu, niya kuwa likrele; ngokuba umnikele umva uYehova, akayi kuba nawe uYehova. 44Basuka baba nobuganga, benyuka baya encotsheni yenduli; Ke yona ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, noMoses ayiphumanga eminqubeni. 45Ehla ke ama-Amaleki namaKanan awayehlala kuloo nduli, awoyisa aza adubaduba lawo ukuya kufikelela eHorem.
