Khuphukela kimi
UMose ufunda isivumelwano ngokuzwakalayo futhi abantu baphendula ngokuthi bazokwenza, ngakho ubafafaza ngegazi lesivumelwano. Amalunga akhuphuka intaba, abone uBaba ka-Israyeli enendawo egandayiwe yesafire ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe, futhi bayadla bayaphuza. UMose ungena efwini.
24 1Wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kimi—wena no-Aroni, uNadabi no-Abihu, kanye namalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa akwa-Israyeli—nikhothame nikhonze nisekude. 2NguMose kuphela ongasondela kimi; abanye mabangasondeli, nabantu mabangakhuphuki naye.”
3UMose weza watshela abantu wonke amazwi kaBaba wethu nayo yonke imithetho. Bonke abantu baphendula ngazwi linye, bathi: “Konke uBaba wethu akushilo, sizokwenza.”
4UMose wawabhala phansi wonke amazwi kaBaba wethu, wayesevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wakha i-altare ngasezansi kwentaba, wamisa izinsika eziyishumi nambili zezizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli. 5Wathuma izinsizwa zakwa-Israyeli ezanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa, zahlaba izinkunzi njengeminikelo yokuthula kuBaba wethu. 6UMose wathatha uhhafu wegazi, waligcwalisa ezitsheni; enye ingxenye wayichela e-altare. 7Wayesethatha iNcwadi yeSivumelwano, wayifundela abantu ngezwi elikhulu. Bathi: “Konke uBaba wethu akukhulumile, sizokwenza futhi silalele.”
8UMose wathatha igazi, walifafaza phezu kwabantu, wathi: “Bhekani, igazi lesivumelwano uBaba wethu asenze nani, elisekelwe kuwo wonke la mazwi.” a a v8 Igazi labeka uphawu esivumelwaneni phakathi kwabantu noBaba wethu; uJesu wawathatha la mazwi awodwa phezu kwendebe—“leli yigazi lami lesivumelwano”—enza igazi lakhe laba uphawu lwesivumelwano esisha olusibuyisela ekhaya.
9Base bekhuphuka oMose no-Aroni, uNadabi no-Abihu, kanye namalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa akwa-Israyeli. 10Babona uBaba ka-Israyeli; ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe kwakukhona okunjengendawo egandayiwe yesafire, ecwebe njengesibhakabhaka uqobo lwaso. 11Akazange abeke isandla phezu kwabaholi bakwa-Israyeli; babona uBaba wethu, badla, baphuza.
12UBaba wethu wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kimi entabeni uhlale lapho; ngizokunika izibhebhe zamatshe ezinomthetho nomyalo engiwubhalile ukuze ubafundise.”
13UMose wasuka noJoshuwa umsizi wakhe, uMose wakhuphukela entabeni kaBaba wethu. 14Wathi emalungeni: “Silindeni lapha size sibuyele kini. U-Aroni noHuri banani—noma ubani onecala angaya kubo.”
15Kwathi uMose esekhuphukele entabeni, ifu layisibekela, 16inkazimulo kaBaba wethu yehlela phezu kweNtaba iSinayi, ifu layisibekela izinsuku eziyisithupha, kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa wambiza uMose ephakathi kwefu. 17Kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, inkazimulo kaBaba wethu yayibukeka njengomlilo oqothulayo esiqongweni sentaba. 18UMose wangena efwini wakhuphukela entabeni; uMose wahlala entabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane.
