¹Wayesethi umpristi omkhulu: “Zinjalo lezi zinto na?

²Wasesithi: Madoda, bazalwane, labobaba, lalelani; UNkulunkulu wenkazimulo wabonakala kubaba wethu u-Abrahama eseMesophothamiya, engakakhi eHarana;

³Wathi kuye: “Phuma ezweni lakini nasezihlotsheni zakho, uye ezweni engiyakukukhombisa lona.

⁴Wayesephuma ezweni lamaKaledi, wahlala eHarana; kwathi esefile uyise wamyisa kuleli zwe enihlala kulo manje.

⁵Futhi kamnikanga ilifa kulo, hatshi, ngitsho lendawo yokubeka unyawo lwakhe, kodwa wathembisa ukumnika lona libe ngelakhe, lenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe, engakabi lomntwana.

⁶UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kanje, wathi: “Inzalo yakhe iyakuba ngabafokazi ezweni lezizwe; nokuthi babenze izigqila, babaphathe kabi iminyaka engamakhulu amane.

⁷Nesizwe eyakuba yizigqila zaso ngiyakusahlulela mina, washo uNkulunkulu, andukuba baphume, bangikhonze kule ndawo.

⁸Wasemnika isivumelwano sokusoka; ngakho u-Abhrahama wazala u-Isaka, wamsoka ngosuku lwesificaminwembili; u-Isaka wazala uJakobe; uJakobe wazala okhokho abayishumi nambili.

⁹Okhokho baba lomhawu ngoJosefa, bathengisa ngoJosefa eGibhithe, kodwa uNkulunkulu wayelaye.

¹⁰Wamkhulula kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zakhe, wamnika umusa nokuhlakanipha phambi kukaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe; wamenza umbusi phezu kweGibithe nendlu yakhe yonke.

¹¹Kwase kufika indlala ezweni lonke laseGibithe nelaseKhanani, nokuhlupheka okukhulu; obaba kabafumananga ukudla.

¹²Kepha uJakobe esezwile ukuthi kukhona amabele eGibithe, wathuma obaba okokuqala.

¹³Kwasekusithi ngokwesibili uJosefa wabonakala kubafowabo; isihlobo sikaJosefa sesaziwa kuFaro.

¹⁴UJosefa wayesethuma wabiza uJakobe uyise, nezihlobo zakhe zonke, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu.

¹⁵UJakobe wehlela eGibithe, wafa, yena nawobaba bethu;

¹⁶Bathwalwa basiwa eShekemi, babekwa ethuneni u-Abrahama awalithenga ngenani lemali kumadodana kaHamori waseShekemi.

¹⁷Kwathi sesisondele isikhathi sesithembiso uNkulunkulu asifunga kuAbrahama, banda abantu, banda eGibhithe.

¹⁸Kwaze kwavela enye inkosi eyayingamazi uJosefa.

¹⁹Yona yaphatha izihlobo zethu ngobuqili, yabaphatha kubi obaba, baze baxotsha abantwana babo, ukuze bangaphili.

²⁰Ngaleso sikhathi kwazalwa uMose, wayemuhle kakhulu, wondliwa izinyanga ezintathu endlini kayise.

²¹Eselahliwe, indodakazi kaFaro yamthatha, yazondlela yena ukuba abe yindodana yayo.

²²UMose wafundiswa kukho konke ukuhlakanipha kwabaseGibithe, waba namandla ngamazwi nangezenzo.

²³Kwathi eseneminyaka engamashumi amane ezelwe, kwafika enhliziyweni yakhe ukuhambela abafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²⁴Ebona omunye ephathwa kabi, wamvikela, wamphindisela ocindezelweyo, wamshaya owaseGibithe;

²⁵Ngokuba wayethi abazalwane bakhe bazoqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezobakhulula ngesandla sakhe, kepha abaqondanga.

²⁶Kwathi ngangomuso wabonakala kubo belwa, wafuna babuyisane, wathi: “Madoda, ningabazalwane; niphathana kabi ngani na?

²⁷Kepha lowo owayemonile umakhelwane wakhe wamsunduza, wathi: ‘Ubekwe ngubani umbusi nomahluleli phezu kwethu na?

²⁸Usufuna ukungibulala mina, njengalokho ubulele owaseGibithe izolo na?

²⁹Ngalelo zwi uMose wabaleka, waba ngowezizwe ezweni lakwaMidiyani, lapho azala khona amadodana amabili.

³⁰Kwathi isiphelile iminyaka engamashumi amane, kwabonakala kuye ehlane lentaba yaseSinayi ingelosi yeNkosi elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni.

³¹UMose ekubona wamangala ngalowo mbono;

³²esithi: Mina nginguNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe. Wayesethuthumela uMose, akaba nasibindi sokubheka.

³³INkosi yasisithi kuye: Khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.

³⁴Ngikubonile, ngikubonile ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibhithe, futhi ngizwile ukububula kwabo, futhi ngehlile ukuba ngibakhulule. Manje woza, ngizokuthuma eGibhithe.

³⁵UMose lo abamalayo, bethi: “Ubekwe ngubani umbusi nomahluleli na? yena uNkulunkulu wamthuma ukuba abe ngumbusi nomkhululi ngesandla sengelosi eyabonakala kuye esihlahleni.

³⁶Yena wabakhipha, ngemva kokuba enze izimanga nezibonakaliso ezweni laseGibhithe, naseLwandle Olubomvu, nasehlane iminyaka engamashumi amane.

³⁷Nguye lo uMozisi owathi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izalivusela umprofethi kubazalwane benu onjengami; yena lizamuzwa.

³⁸Lona nguye owayesebandleni ehlane kanye nengelosi eyakhuluma kuye entabeni yaseSinayi kanye nawobaba, owamukela amazwi aphilayo ukuze asinike wona;

³⁹obaba bethu abavumanga ukumlalela, kodwa bamxotsha kibo, babuyela eGibhithe ngezinhliziyo zabo.

⁴⁰Besithi kuAroni: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu, ngoba uMozisi lo owasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.

⁴¹Benza ithole ngalezo zinsuku, banikela ngomhlatshelo esithombeni, bathokoza ngemisebenzi yezandla zabo.

⁴²UNkulunkulu wayesephenduka, wabanikela ukuba bakhonze ibandla lezulu; njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lwabaprofethi ukuthi: Lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, lanikela kimi yini iminikelo lemihlatshelo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala?

⁴³Nathwala itabernakele likaMoloki, nenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani, imifanekiso enayenza ukuba nikhuleke kuyo;

⁴⁴Okhokho bethu babelethabhanekele lobufakazi enkangala njengokulaya kwakhe ekhuluma loMozisi ukuthi alenze njengomfanekiso ayewubonile.

⁴⁵Okhokho bethu abayilandela bayingenisa kanye loJesu empahleni yabezizwe, uNkulunkulu abaxotshayo phambi kobuso babokhokho bethu, kwaze kwaba semihleni kaDavida;

⁴⁶owathola umusa phambi kukaNkulunkulu, wacela ukutholela uNkulunkulu kaJakobe itabernakele.

⁴⁷Kodwa uSolomoni wamakhela indlu.

⁴⁸Kepha oPhezukonke akahlali ethempelini elenziwe ngezandla; njengokusho komprofethi.

⁴⁹Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi, lomhlaba uyisenabelo senyawo zami; isho iNkosi; noma iyini indawo yami yokuphumula na?

⁵⁰Isandla sami asizenzanga zonke lezi zinto na?

⁵¹Nina bantamo zilukhuni, abangasokile ezinhliziyweni nasezindlebeni, nimelana njalo noMoya oNgcwele;

⁵²Ngumuphi kubaprofethi oyihlo abangamzingelanga na? bababulala labo ababika ngaphambili ngokufika koLungileyo; eseningabakhapheli nababulali bakhe manje;

⁵³enamukela umthetho ngesandla sezingelosi, kepha aniwugcinanga.

⁵⁴Kwathi bekuzwa lokho bahlabeka ezinhliziyweni, bamgedlela amazinyo.

⁵⁵Kodwa yena egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wagqolozela ezulwini, wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, loJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu;

⁵⁶Wathi: “Bheka, ngibona amazulu evulekile, neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.

⁵⁷Basebememeza ngelizwi elikhulu, bavala izindlebe zabo, bagijimela kuye nganhliziyonye.

⁵⁸Bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe; ofakazi babeka izingubo zabo ezinyaweni zensizwa egama layo linguSawule.

⁵⁹Bamkhanda ngamatshe uStefanu, ebiza uNkulunkulu, ethi: “Nkosi Jesu, yamukela umoya wami.

⁶⁰Waseguqa phansi, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Nkosi, ungababaleli lesisono. Eseshilo lokho walala ubuthongo.
