32 ¹Bakubona abantu ukuba uMoses ulibele ukuhla entabeni, bahlanganisana ngakuAron, bathi kuye: “Vuka, usenzele oothixo abaya kuhamba phambi kwethu. Lo Moses, le ndoda eyasinyusa ezweni laseYiputa, asazi nokuba kwenzeke ntoni na ngaye.”

²Wathi uAron kubo: “Susani kubafazi benu, nakoonyana benu, nakwiintombi zenu, amajikazi egolide asezindlebeni zabo, nize nawo kum.”

³Bonke abantu bawakhulula amajikazi egolide asezindlebeni zabo, bawazisa kuAron. ⁴Wayithabatha igolide ezandleni zabo, wayiqingqa ngesixhobo sokukrola, wayenza ithole elityhidiweyo. Baza bathi: “Naba oothixo bakho, Sirayeli, abakunyusayo ezweni laseYiputa!”

⁵Akubona oku uAron, wakha isibingelelo phambi kwalo, wamemeza wathi: “Ngomso ngumthendeleko kuBawo wethu.” ^a a v5 UAron uzama ukuligubungela ithole egameni likaBawo wethu, ngokubiza umthendeleko kuye—kodwa ukuxuba unqulo lwezithixo nonqulo lwenyaniso kuko ngokwako isono esityhilwa sesi sahluko.

⁶Bavuka kusasa ngengomso, banyusa amadini anyukayo, bazisa neminikelo yoxolo. Bahlala phantsi abantu ukuze badle basele, baza besuka ukudlala.

⁷Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yihla, kuba abantu bakho, obanyuse ezweni laseYiputa, bazonakalisile. ⁸Bakhawuleza bemka endleleni endabawisela umthetho ngayo, bazenzela ithole elityhidiweyo, baqubuda kulo, babingelela kulo, bathi: ‘Sirayeli, naba oothixo bakho abakunyusayo ezweni laseYiputa.’”

⁹UBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Ndibabonile aba bantu, yaye bangabantu abantamo ilukhuni. ¹⁰Ngoku ke ndiyeke ndedwa, ukuze umsindo wam uvuthe ngakubo, ndibatshabalalise, ndize ndikwenze wena uhlanga olukhulu.”

¹¹UMoses watarhuzisa kuBawo wethu wathi: “Yini na, Bawo wethu, ukuba umsindo wakho uvuthe kubantu bakho, obakhuphe ezweni laseYiputa ngamandla amakhulu nangesandla esinamandla?

¹²Yini na ukuba amaYiputa athethe athi: ‘Ubakhuphele ububi, ukuze ababulalele ezintabeni, abacime ebusweni bomhlaba’? Buya kuwo umsindo wakho ovuthayo, uzohlwaye ngenxa yobubi obuchasene nabantu bakho.

¹³Khumbula uAbraham, uIsake, noSirayeli, abakhonzi bakho, owabafungela ngawe, wathi kubo: ‘Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yenu njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ndiyinike imbewu yenu lonke eli lizwe endalithembisayo, baze balidle ilifa ngonaphakade.’”

¹⁴Wazohlwaya ke uBawo wethu ngenxa yobubi awathi uya kubazisela abantu bakhe.

¹⁵UMoses wajika wehla entabeni, enamacwecwe amabini esingqino esandleni sakhe, amacwecwe abhalwe emacaleni omabini, ngaphambili nangasemva. ¹⁶Amacwecwe ayengumsebenzi kaBawo wethu; umbahlo wawungumbahlo kaBawo wethu, okrolwe emacwecweni.

¹⁷Akuliva uYoshuwa izwi labantu bedanduluka, wathi kuMoses: “Lizwi lokulwa eli esemkhosini.”

¹⁸Waphendula uMoses wathi: “Asililizwi lokoyisa, asililizwi lesikhalo sokoyiswa—ndiva izwi labantu abavuma ingoma.” ¹⁹Kwathi uMoses akusondela emkhosini, walibona ithole nokungqungqa, wavutha umsindo wakhe; wawalahla amacwecwe ezandleni zakhe, wawaqhekeza ezantsi kwentaba. ²⁰Walithabatha ithole ababelenzile, walitshisa ngomlilo, walisila laba luthuthu, walisasaza phezu kwamanzi, wabaseza oonyana bakaSirayeli.

²¹UMoses wathi kuAron: “Benzeni na kuwe aba bantu, ude ubazisele isono esikhulu kangaka?”

²²Wathi uAron: “Musa ukuba nomsindo, nkosi yam; uyabazi aba bantu ukuba batyekele ebubini. ²³Bathi kum: ‘Senzele oothixo abaya kuhamba phambi kwethu. Lo Moses, le ndoda esikhuphe ezweni laseYiputa—asazi ukuba uhle waba yintoni na.’ ²⁴Ndathi kubo: ‘Osukuba enegolide, makayikhulule.’ Bayinika kum; ndayiphosa emlilweni, kwaphuma eli thole.”

²⁵Wabona uMoses ukuba abantu baphume isandla, kuba uAron ebavumele ukuba baphume isandla, baba sisigculelo ezintshabeni zabo. ²⁶Wema uMoses esangweni lomkhosi wathi: “Nabani na ongakuBawo wethu, makeze kum!” Bahlanganisana ngakuye bonke abaLevi.

²⁷Wathi kubo: “Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Nxibani elowo ikrele lakhe ethangeni lakhe. Nidlule niphindelele emkhosini, nithabathele esangweni nisiya esangweni, nibulale elowo umzalwana wakhe, umhlobo wakhe, ummelwane wakhe.”

²⁸Benza abaLevi njengoko uMoses wabawiselayo umthetho, kwaza ngaloo mini kwawa abantu abamalunga namawaka amathathu. ²⁹Wathi uMoses: “Namhla nizingcwalise kuBawo wethu, elowo ngonyana wakhe nangomzalwana wakhe, ukuze anisikelele namhla.”

³⁰Kwathi ngengomso uMoses wathi kubantu: “Nina nenze isono esikhulu. Ngoku ke ndiya kunyuka ndiye kuBawo wethu—mhlawumbi ndingasicamagushela isono senu.”

³¹Wabuyela uMoses kuBawo wethu wathi: “Owu, aba bantu benze isono esikhulu, bazenzela oothixo begolide. ³²Ngoku, ukuba uya kubaxolela isono sabo—ukuba akunjalo, khawundicime encwadini oyibhalileyo.” ^b b v32 'Incwadi' kaThixo luluhlu lwabo bangabakhe—uMoses unikela ngendawo yakhe kuyo ukuze asindise abantu.

³³Kodwa uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Ndiya kumcima encwadini yam lowo wonileyo kum. ³⁴Hamba, ukhokele abantu uye apho ndikuxelele khona; isithunywa sam siya kuhamba phambi kwakho. Kodwa ngemini yokubavelela kwam, ndiya kubavelela ngesono sabo.”

³⁵Waza uBawo wethu wababetha abantu ngesibetho ngenxa yoko babekwenzile ngethole elenziwe nguAron.
