Eyemfuduko 4 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

4 ¹Wasuka uMoses wathi: “Kodwa abayi kukholwa ndim, abayi kuliphulaphula ilizwi lam, kaloku baya kuthi: ‘UBawo wethu akabonakalanga kuwe.’”

²Wathi uBawo wethu kuye: “Yintoni na leyo isesandleni sakho?” Wathi: “Yintonga.”

³Wathi: “Yiphose emhlabeni.” Wayiphosa emhlabeni, yaba yinyoka, waza uMoses wayibaleka.

⁴Kodwa uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yolula isandla sakho, uyibambe ngomsila wayo”—waza wasolula uMoses, wayibamba, yaza yaba yintonga esandleni sakhe, ⁵“ukuze bakholwe ukuba uBawo wakho, onguThixo wooyise—uThixo ka-Abraham, noka-Isake, nokaYakobi—ubonakele kuwe.”

⁶Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuye: “Faka isandla sakho engutyeni yakho.” Wasifaka ke, wathi akusirhola, isandla sakhe saye sineqhenqa, simhlophe njengekhephu.

⁷Wathi: “Buyisela isandla sakho engutyeni yakho.” Wasibuyisela, wathi akusirhola, saye sibuyiselwe, sanjengenyama yakhe eseleyo.

⁸“Ukuba abathe bakholwa nguwe, bengaliphulaphulanga nomqondiso wokuqala, baya kukholwa ngumqondiso wesibini. ⁹Ukuba abathe bakholwa nayile miqondiso mibini, bengaliphulaphulanga nelizwi lakho, uze uthabathe amanzi emlanjeni weNayile, uwagalele emhlabeni owomileyo; aza loo manzi uwathabathe emlanjeni weNayile aya kuba ligazi emhlabeni owomileyo.”

¹⁰Kodwa uMoses wathi kuBawo wethu: “Khawuncede, Nkosi yam, andizange ndibe nobuchule bokuthetha, nangaphambili nasemva kokuba uthethe nesicaka sakho; kuba ndizeka kade ukuthetha, ndinolwimi oluzekayo.”

¹¹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuye: “Ngubani na owanika umntu umlomo wakhe? Ngubani na omenza isidenge nesithulu, obona nemfama? Asindim na, mna Bawo wakho? ¹²Hamba ke ngoko, ndoba nawe emlonyeni wakho, ndikufundise into oya kuyithetha.”

¹³Kodwa wathi: “Khawuncede, Bawo wam oyiNkosi, thuma omnye umntu.”

¹⁴Waza wavutha umsindo kaBawo wethu kuMoses. Wathi: “AkanguAron na umzalwana wakho, umLevi? Ndiyazi ukuba yena uthetha kakuhle. Kananjalo ngoku uyeza kukukhawulela, aze avuye entliziyweni yakhe xa akubonayo. ¹⁵Thetha naye; ubeke amazwi emlonyeni wakhe. Ndoba nawe emlonyeni wakho nasemlonyeni wakhe, ndinifundise nobabini into enoyenza. ¹⁶Yena uya kukuthethela ebantwini, abe ngumlomo wakho, wena ube njengoThixo kuye. ¹⁷Uze le ntonga uyiphathe esandleni sakho, uyisebenzise ekwenzeni le miqondiso.”

Ukwahlukana kukaMoses noYitro

¹⁸UMoses wabuyela kuyise womkakhe uYitro, wathi: “Mandibuyele kubazalwana bam eYiputa, ndibone ukuba basaphila na.” Wathi uYitro: “Hamba ngoxolo.”

¹⁹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses eMidiyan: “Buyela eYiputa—onke amadoda abefuna ukukubulala afile.”

²⁰UMoses wasuka wabakhwelisa e-esileni oonyana bakhe nomkakhe, wandula ukubuyela kwelaseYiputa. Waza wayiphatha esandleni sakhe intonga kaBawo wethu.

²¹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Xa ubuyela eYiputa, uze wenze phambi koFaro zonke izimanga endikunike amandla okuzenza. Kodwa ndoyenza lukhuni intliziyo yakhe, ukuze angabandululi abantu. ²²Uze uthi ke kuFaro: ‘Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: USirayeli ngunyana wam wamazibulo, ^a a v22 Kudala kakhulu phambi kokuba uIsrayeli abe luhlanga, uBawo wethu wambiza lo bantu ngonyana wakhe wamazibulo — intlahlela yentsapho ayiqokelelayo kuye, ezaliseka xa uYesu, owona mazibulo enyanisweni, evula indlela yokugoduka kubo bonke abantwana bakhe. ²³ndithi ke kuwe: ndulula unyana wam aye kundikhonza. Ukuba uthe akavuma ukumndulula, ndombulala unyana wakho wamazibulo.’”

²⁴Endaweni yokulalisa endleleni, uBawo wethu waqubisana naye, wazama ukumbulala. ^b b v24 Esi siqwenga sebali esifutshane nesiyimfihlakalo sijikela kumqondiso womnqophiso wolwaluko, awayewutyeshele uMoses ngonyana wakhe. Isenzo esikhawulezileyo sikaTsipora sibuyisela intsapho kumnqophiso phambi kokuba uMoses akhokele abantu bakaBawo wethu. ²⁵UTsipora wathabatha intshengece, wanqumla isikhumba senyama yokwaluswa yonyana wakhe, wachukumisa ngayo iinyawo zikaMoses, wathi: “Inene, ungumyeni wam wegazi.”

²⁶Waza uBawo wethu wamyeka uMoses. Yaza yathi: “Umyeni wegazi,” ngenxa yolwaluko.

²⁷Ke kaloku uBawo wethu wathi kuAron: “Yiya kukhawulela uMoses entlango.” Wahamba ke, waqubisana naye entabeni kaBawo wethu, wamanga.

²⁸UMoses waxelela uAron onke amazwi awawanikwa nguBawo wethu ukuba awadlulise, nayo yonke imiqondiso awamyalela ukuba ayenze. ²⁹Baza uMoses noAron bahamba, bawahlanganisa onke amadoda amakhulu abantu bakwaSirayeli. ³⁰UAron wawathetha onke amazwi awayewathethile uBawo wethu kuMoses, wayenza nemiqondiso phambi kwabantu. ³¹Bakholwa abantu. Bakuva ukuba uBawo wethu ubeze kunceda abantu bakwaSirayeli, nokuba uzibonile iintsizi zabo, bathoba iintloko zabo, baqubuda.
