Eyasentlango 11 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

11 ¹Abantu bakhala ngobunzima babo apho uBawo wethu wayenokuva khona; weva, wavutha umsindo wakhe, waza umlilo kaBawo wethu wavutha phakathi kwabo, wadla ukupheleni kweminquba. ²Abantu bakhala kuMoses, waza uMoses wathandaza kuBawo wethu, wadamba umlilo. ³Ngoko yathiywa igama elinguTabhera loo ndawo, ngokuba umlilo kaBawo wethu wavutha phakathi kwabo. ^a a v3 UTabhera uthetha “ukuvutha” — loo ndawo yathiywa ngenxa yomlilo owaqhambuka khona.

⁴Inkitha engumxube eyayiphakathi kwabo yanxwema kakhulu; nabantu bakwaSirayeli baphinda balila, besithi: “Akwaba besinenyama yokudla! ⁵Siyazikhumbula iintlanzi esazidlayo eYiputa simahla, neenkomkomo, neevatala, neleki, namatswele, nekinofile. ⁶Kodwa ngoku umlomo wethu womile; akukho nto ikhona esiyibonayo ngaphandle kwale mana.” ⁷Ke kaloku imana yayinjengembewu yekoriyandire, ikangeleka njengebhedolaki engqwabalala. ^b b v7 Ibhedolaki yayiyiresin okanye intlaka eqhabalakileyo, enjengeperile — imana yayikangeleka ngolo hlobo luqhabalakileyo. ⁸Abantu bahamba beyibutha, beyisila ngelitye lokusila okanye beyingqusha engqusheni, beyiphekela ezimbizeni, benza izonkana. Isongo sayo sasinjengesezonkana ezenziwe ngeoli. ⁹Xa umbethe usihla eminqubeni ebusuku, imana yayisihla kunye nawo.

¹⁰UMoses weva abantu bekhala ngokwezindlu zabo, ngamnye esemnyango wentente yakhe. Wawuvutha kakhulu umsindo kaBawo wethu, yaza loo nto yaba mbi emehlweni kaMoses. ¹¹UMoses wathi kuBawo wethu: “Yini na ukuba umphathe kakubi umkhonzi wakho? Yini na ukuba ndingababalwa nguwe, uze ubeke phezu kwam umthwalo wabo bonke aba bantu? ¹²Ndabamitha na bonke aba bantu? Ndababeleka na, ukuze uthi kum: ‘Bathwale ezingalweni zakho, njengomongi ethwele usana olusanyayo,’ ndibase ezweni owalifungela ukubanika ookhokho babo? ¹³Ndoyifumana phi na inyama yokunika bonke aba bantu? Kaloku bayakhala kum, besithi: ‘Sinike inyama sidle!’ ¹⁴Andinakubathwala ndedwa bonke aba bantu; kunzima kakhulu kum. ¹⁵Ukuba uza kundiphatha ngolu hlobo, khawundibulale ngoku—ukuba ndibabalwe emehlweni akho—ndingabuboni ubugwenxa bam.”

UBawo Wabelana NgoMoya Nabangamashumi Asixhenxe

¹⁶Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Ndihlanganisele amadoda angamashumi asixhenxe emadodeni amakhulu akwaSirayeli, owaziyo ukuba ngamadoda amakhulu nababhali babantu, uwazise ententeni yentlanganiso, eme khona nawe. ¹⁷Ndohla, ndithethe nawe khona, ndithabathe kuMoya ophezu kwakho, ndiwubeke phezu kwabo. Baya kuthwala umthwalo wabantu kunye nawe, ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.

¹⁸Yitsho ebantwini: Zingcwaliseleni ingomso—niya kudla inyama. Nililile uBawo wethu esiva, nisithi: ‘Akwaba besinenyama yokudla! Sasiphila kakuhle eYiputa.’ Ngoko uBawo wethu uya kuninika inyama, nize niyidle. ¹⁹Aniyi kuyidla usuku olunye, nokuba zizimini zambini, nokuba zihlanu, nokuba zilishumi, nokuba zingamashumi amabini, ²⁰koko inyanga iphela, ide iphume ngemathatheni enu, ininyanye—ngokuba nimcekisile uBawo wethu ophakathi kwenu, nililila phambi kwakhe, nisithi: ‘Yini na ukuba sibe saphuma eYiputa?’”

²¹Wathi uMoses: “Abantu endinabo bangamakhulu amathandathu amawaka ahamba ngeenyawo, kodwa uthi wena: ‘Ndiya kubanika inyama bayidle inyanga iphela’? ²²Ingaxhelwa na impahla emfutshane neenkomo ukuze banele? Ingahlanganiselwa na yonke intlanzi yolwandle ukuze banele?”

²³UBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Sifutshane na isandla sam? Ngoku uya kubona ukuba liyenzeka na kuwe ilizwi lam, nokuba akunjalo.”

²⁴UMoses waphuma, wabaxelela abantu amazwi kaBawo wethu. Wahlanganisa amadoda angamashumi asixhenxe emadodeni amakhulu abantu, wawamisa ngeenxa zonke zentente. ²⁵Waza uBawo wethu wehla efini, wathetha naye, wathabatha kuMoya owawuphezu kwakhe, wawubeka phezu kwamadoda amakhulu angamashumi asixhenxe. Wathi uMoya wahlala phezu kwabo, baprofeta—kodwa abaphindanga. ²⁶Amadoda amabini ayesele eminqubeni, elinye igama lalo linguElidadi, elinye linguMedadi, waza uMoya wahlala phezu kwawo—ayephakathi kwabo babhaliweyo, kodwa engaphumelanga ententeni—kanti aprofeta eminqubeni. ²⁷Umfana wagidima, waya kumxelela uMoses, wathi: “UElidadi noMedadi bayaprofeta eminqubeni.”

²⁸UYoshuwa unyana kaNun, umlungiseleli kaMoses kwasebuncinaneni bakhe, wathi: “Nkosi yam Moses, banqande!”

²⁹Kodwa uMoses waphendula wathi: “Undimonela na? Akwaba bonke abantu bakaBawo wethu bebengabaprofeti, uze uBawo wethu abeke uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo!”

³⁰Waza uMoses wabuyela eminqubeni, yena namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli.

Izagwityi Zivela KuBawo, Isibetho Sokunxwema

³¹Kwaphuma umoya kuBawo wethu, waziqhuba izagwityi zivela elwandle, wazidubula ngeenxa zonke zeminquba—ngathi luhambo lwemini enye icala ngalinye, ngathi ziikubhite ezintathu ngokophakama emhlabeni. ³²Abantu baphakama yonke loo mini, nobo busuku bonke, nemini elandelayo yonke, bebutha izagwityi—oyena wabutha kancinane wabutha iihomere ezilishumi—baza bazandlalela zonke ngeenxa zonke zeminquba. ^c c v32 Ihomere yayingumlinganiso omkhulu wento eyomileyo — phantse ngangomthwalo wedonki, malunga neelitha ezingamakhulu amabini anamashumi amabini; iihomere ezilishumi zazingumqokelelo omkhulu kakhulu. ³³Inyama isephakathi kwamazinyo abo, ingekahlafunwa, wavutha umsindo kaBawo wethu kubantu, waza uBawo wethu wababetha ngesibetho esinzima kunene. ³⁴Loo ndawo yathiywa igama elinguKibroti-hatahava, ngokuba khona bangcwatyelwa abantu abanxwemayo. ^d d v34 UKibroti-hatahava uthetha “amangcwaba okunxwema” — wathiywa ngenxa yabo bangcwatyelwa khona emva kokubawela kwabantu inyama.

³⁵Besuka eKibroti-hatahava abantu banduluka baya eHatseroti, bahlala eHatseroti.
