ukuvakasha kukaJethro
1Kwathi uJetro, umpristi wakwaMidiyani, umukhwe kaMose, esezwile ngakho konke uNkulunkulu abekwenzile kuMose nakubantu bakhe u-Israyeli, nokuthi uJehova wayemkhiphile u-Israyeli eGibithe;
2UJetiro, umukhwe kaMose, wamthatha uZipora umkaMose, esemmukisile;
3namadodana akhe amabili; igama lomunye lalinguGereshomu; ngoba wathi: Ngangingowemzini elizweni lemzini.
4Igama lomunye lalingu-Eliyezeri; ngokuba uNkulunkulu kababa ubengumsizi wami, wangikhulula enkembeni kaFaro.
5UJetiro, umukhwe kaMose, weza namadodana akhe nomkakhe kuMose ehlane, lapho ayemise khona entabeni kaNkulunkulu.
6Wathi kuMose: “Mina, uyihlozala, uJetiro, ngizé kuwe, nomkakho namadodana akhe amabili enaye.
7UMose waphuma ukumhlangabeza umukhwe wakhe, wakhothama, wamanga; babuzana ukuphila kwabo; bangena etendeni.
8UMose wamtshela umukhwe wakhe konke uJehova ayekwenzile kuFaro nabaseGibhithe ngenxa ka-Israyeli, nazo zonke izinhlupheko ezazibehlele endleleni, nokuthi uJehova wayebophule.
9UJetiro wajabula ngakho konke okuhle uJehova ayekwenzile ku-Israyeli, eyayimsindisile esandleni sabaseGibhithe.
10UJetiro wasesithi: Kayibusiswe iNKOSI eyalikhulula esandleni samaGibhithe lesandleni sikaFaro, owakhulula abantu esandleni samaGibhithe.
11Manje sengiyazi ukuthi uJehova mkhulu kunabo bonke onkulunkulu, ngoba endabeni ababezidla ngayo wayephezu kwabo.
12UJetiro, umukhwe kaMose, wamthathela uNkulunkulu umnikelo wokushiswa nemihlatshelo; weza u-Aroni nawo onke amalunga akwa-Israyeli ukuba badle isinkwa nomukhwe kaMose phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
13Kwathi ngangomuso uMose wahlala ukwahlulela abantu, abantu bema ngakuMose kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwahlwa.
14Lapho umukhwe kaMose ebona konke akwenzela abantu, wathi: “Iyini le nto oyenza kubantu? Uhlalelani wedwa, nabantu bonke bema kuwe kusukela ekuseni kuze kuhlwe?
15UMozisi wasesithi kuyisezala: Ngoba abantu beza kimi ukubuza kuNkulunkulu.
16Nxa benecala, bayeza kimi; ngiyakwahlulela phakathi kwabo, ngibazise izimiso zikaNkulunkulu nemithetho yakhe.
17Wayesethi umukhwe kaMose kuye: “Ayiyinhle le nto oyenzayo;
18Ngokuqinisekile uzokhathala, wena nalaba bantu abakanye nawe, ngoba le nto inzima kakhulu kuwe; awukwazi ukukwenza ngokwakho.
19Manje lalela izwi lami, ngizokululeka, futhi uNkulunkulu uyakuba nawe: yiba noNkulunkulu kubantu, ukuze ulethe izindaba kuNkulunkulu.
20Futhi kumelwe ubafundise izimiso nemithetho futhi ubabonise indlela okufanele bahambe ngayo nomsebenzi okufanele bawenze.
21Ngaphezu kwalokho, kumelwe ukhethe kubo bonke abantu amadoda afanelekayo amesabayo uNkulunkulu, amadoda eqiniso, azondayo ukuhaha; wabeka phezu kwabo izinduna zezinkulungwane, nezinduna zamakhulu, nezinduna zamashumi ayisihlanu, nezinduna zeshumi.
22Mabahlulele abantu ngaso sonke isikhathi; zonke izindaba ezinkulu ziyakuziletha kuwe, kepha zonke ezincane ziyakwahlulela; ngakho-ke kuyoba lula kuwe, futhi bayothwala umthwalo kanye nawe.
23Uma wenza lokhu futhi uNkulunkulu ekuyala kanjalo, khona-ke uyokwazi ukukhuthazela, futhi bonke laba bantu bayobuyela endaweni yabo ngokuthula.
24UMose walilalela izwi likayisezala, wenza konke ayekushilo.
25UMose wakhetha amadoda anamandla ku-Israyeli wonke, wawamisa aba izinhloko phezu kwabantu, izinduna zezinkulungwane, nezinduna zamakhulu, nezinduna zamashumi amahlanu nezinduna zeshumi.
26Basebeqondisa abantu ngazo zonke izikhathi; izindaba ezinzima baziletha kuMose, kepha zonke izindaba ezincane bazihlulela bona.
27UMose wayesemukisa umukhwe wakhe; wasesiya elizweni lakibo.
