UBaba Uvuselela iPhasika
IPhasika ligcinwa ehlane, futhi amadoda angcoliswe yisidumbu awavalelwa nje ngaphandle — uBaba wethu uwanika olunye usuku emva kwenyanga. Ifu eliphezu kwethabernakele libe selibeka isivinini: u-Israyeli uyahamba futhi amise ikamu kuphela lapho Yena ehamba.
9 1UBaba wethu wakhuluma kuMose ehlane laseSinayi, ngenyanga yokuqala yonyaka wesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo eGibhithe, wathi:
2“Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli mabagcine iPhasika ngesikhathi salo esimisiwe. 3Ngosuku lweshumi nane lwale nyanga, kusihlwa, niligcine ngesikhathi salo esimisiwe, ngazo zonke izimiso zalo nangayo yonke imithetho yalo.”
4Ngakho uMose watshela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bagcine iPhasika. 5Ehlane laseSinayi bagcina iPhasika ngosuku lweshumi nane lwenyanga yokuqala, kusihlwa, njengokuba uBaba wethu wayala uMose; benza kanjalo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli. 6Amanye amadoda ayengcolile ngenxa yokuthinta isidumbu, engakwazi ukugcina iPhasika ngalolo suku; ngakho eza phambi kukaMose no-Aroni ngalolo suku. 7Lawo madoda athi kuye: “Singcolile ngenxa yesidumbu. Kungani kumele sivinjelwe ekunikeleni umnikelo kaBaba wethu ngesikhathi sawo esimisiwe phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli?”
8UMose wathi kuwo: “Yimani lapha ngize ngizwe ukuthi uBaba wethu uyothini ngalokhu.”
9UBaba wethu wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
10“Tshela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli uthi: uma noma ngubani kini noma kwinzalo yenu engcolile ngenxa yesidumbu, noma esohambeni olukude, usengaligcina iPhasika kuBaba wethu. 11Ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lweshumi nane, kusihlwa, kumele baligcine, balidle kanye nesinkwa esingenamvubelo nemifino ebabayo. 12Abayikushiya lutho kulo kuze kube sekuseni, bangephuli nelilodwa ithambo lalo, baligcine ngazo zonke izimiso zePhasika. 13Kodwa uma umuntu ehlanzekile engahambi uhambo, kepha engaligcini iPhasika, lowo muntu kumele anqunywe asuswe ebantwini bakubo, ngokuba akalethanga umnikelo kaBaba wethu ngesikhathi sawo esimisiwe; lowo muntu uyokuthwala isono sakhe. a a v13 Ukunqunywa 'asuswe ebantwini bakubo' kwakusho ukukhishwa ngokusemthethweni emphakathini wesivumelwano sakwa-Israyeli.
14“Uma owezizwe ohlala phakathi kwenu efuna ukugcina iPhasika kuBaba wethu, kumele alandele isimiso sePhasika nomthetho walo. Kuyoba simiso sinye kokubili kowezizwe nowomdabu wezwe.”
Ifu Lihola Indlela
15Ngosuku okwamiswa ngalo itabernakele—itende lobufakazi—ifu lalisibekela; kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni lalibonakala njengomlilo phezu kwetabernakele. 16Kwaba njalo njalo: ifu lalilisibekela emini, kube ukubonakala komlilo ebusuku. 17Njalo lapho ifu liphakama phezu kwetende, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka bahambe; lapho lima khona, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bamisa khona amatende abo. 18Ngokomyalo kaBaba wethu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka; ngokomyalo kaBaba wethu bamisa. Ngaso sonke isikhathi ifu lihlezi phezu kwetabernakele, bahlala bemise amatende abo. 19Lapho ifu lilibala izinsuku eziningi phezu kwetabernakele, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bagcina umlindo kaBaba wethu, abasuka. 20Kwesinye isikhathi ifu lalihlala izinsuku ezimbalwa nje phezu kwendlu: ngokomyalo kaBaba wethu bamisa, ngokomyalo kaBaba wethu basuka. 21Kwesinye isikhathi ifu lalihlala kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni; lapho liphakama ekuseni, basuka. Noma kusemini noma kusebusuku, lapho ifu liphakama, basuka. 22Noma kungaba izinsuku ezimbili, noma inyanga, noma isikhathi eside kunalokho, uma ifu lihlezi phezu kwetabernakele, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlala emathendeni abo, abasuka; lapho liphakama, basuka. 23Ngokomyalo kaBaba wethu bamisa; ngokomyalo wakhe basuka. Bagcina umlindo wakhe, ngokomyalo kaBaba wethu ngoMose.
