UMosi Ubusisa Izizwana Zako-Israyeli

1Lesi yiso isibusiso esethulwa nguMosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu kwabako-Israyeli engakafi.

2Wathi:

“UThixo wehla evela eSinayi

njalo wakhazimula kubo ngaseSeyiri;

wakhanyisa njalo kusiya eNtabeni yasePharani.

Wabuya labazinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabangcwele

bevelela eningizimu, emehlweni ezintaba zakhe.

3Ngempela nguwe othanda abantu,

bonke abangcwele basezandleni zakho.

Ezinyaweni zakho bayakhothama

bonke bamukele iziqondiso ezivela kuwe,

4umthetho esawuphiwa nguMosi,

inotho yebandla likaJakhobe.

5Wayeyinkosi phezu kukaJeshuruni

lapho abakhokheli babantu bebuthene,

ndawonye lezizwana zako-Israyeli.

6Kaphile uRubheni njalo angafi,

abesilisa bakhe bangaphunguki babebalutshwana.”

7Lokhu wakutsho ngoJuda:

“Zwana, wena Thixo wami, ukukhala kukaJuda;

mlethe ebantwini bakhe.

Ngezandla zakhe uvikela lokho akumeleyo.

Yebo, msize amelane lezitha zakhe!”

8NgoLevi wathi:

“IThumimi kanye le-Urimi yakho ngokwayo

inceku yakho ethembekileyo.

Wamhlola eMasa;

waba laye emachibini aseMeribha.

9Wathi ngoyise lonina,

‘Angilandaba labo mina.’

Kazange akwamukele ukuthi ulabafowabo

njalo kazange ananze abantwabakhe,

kodwa walilondoloza ilizwi lakho

wasigcina isivumelwano sakho.

10Ufundisa amanyathelo akho kuJakhobe

lomthetho wakho ku-Israyeli.

Unikela ngempepha phambi kwakho

langeminikelo egcweleyo yokutshiswa e-alithareni.

11Busisa bonke ubuciko bakhe, Thixo,

ujabule ngomsebenzi wezandla zakhe.

Babhubhise labo abamvukelayo;

zitshaye izitha zakhe zingaphindi zimvukele.”

12NgoBhenjamini wathi:

“Yekelani othandekayo kaThixo

aphumule kuye evikelekile,

ngoba umvikela ilanga lonke,

kanti njalo lowo uThixo amthandayo

uphumula emahlombe akhe.”

13NgoJosefa wathi:

“Sengathi uThixo angabusisa umhlaba wakhe

ngamazolo aligugu avela phezulu ezulwini

langamanzi ajulileyo ageleza ngaphansi;

14langobuhle obuyingqala obulethwa lilanga

kanye lokucoleka okungalethwa yinyanga;

15lezipho zekhethelo zasezintabeni zendulo

lokuthela kwezithelo zamaqaqa emi nini lanini;

16langezipho eziyingqala zomhlaba lokugcwala kwawo

lozwelo lwakhe yena owayesesixukwini esivuthayo.

Konke lokhu akube sekhanda likaJosefa,

ebunzini lobuso benkosana phakathi kwabafowabo.

17Ebukhosini unjengenkunzi encane elizibulo;

impondo zakhe zinjengezenyathi.

Ngazo uzagweba abhuqe izizwe,

aze agwebe lalezo ezisemaphethelweni omhlaba.

Banjalo abezinkulungwane zamatshumi baka-Efrayimi;

banjalo abezinkulungwane zikaManase.”

18NgoZebhuluni wathi:

“Jabula, Zebhuluni, ekuphumeni kwakho,

lawe wena, Isakhari, emathenteni akho.

19Bazabizela abantu ezintabeni khonale

banikele imihlatshelo yabo yokulunga;

bazakudla baminze ngobunengi bokusolwandle

ngawo amagugu afihlakele etshebetshebeni.”

20NgoGadi wathi:

“Ubusisiwe lowo oqhelisa umbuso kaGadi!

UGadi uhlala khona njengesilwane,

edlithiza engalweni loba ekhanda.

21Wazikhethela umhlaba omuhle okwamagama waba ngowakhe;

isabelo somkhokheli sagcinelwa yena.

Kwathi ekuhlanganeni kwabakhokheli babantu,

wakwenza lokho okufunwa nguThixo olungileyo,

kanye lokwahlulela kwakhe kwabako-Israyeli.”

22NgoDani wathi:

“UDani ngumdlwane wesilwane,

otshakala uphuma eBhashani.”

23NgoNafithali wathi:

“UNafithali uyaphuphuma ngozwelo lukaThixo

njalo ugcwele izibusiso zakhe;

elakhe ilifa uzazuza kusiya eningizimu ngechibini.”

24Ngo-Asheri wathi:

“Obusisiweyo kakhulu kulawo wonke amadodana ngu-Asheri;

ababelozwelo kuye abafowabo,

myekeleni ageze inyawo zakhe emafutheni.

25Amabhawudo emasangweni akho azakuba ngawensimbi lethusi

njalo amandla akho azalingana insuku zakho.

26Kakho ofana loNkulunkulu kaJeshuruni,

ophezulu emazulwini ukuze akuncede

kanti njalo lasemayezini ngobukhosi bakhe.

27UNkulunkulu ongusimakade uyisiphephelo sakho,

njalo ngaphansi kuzingalo ezingelakuphela.

Uzazixotsha izitha phambi kwakho

esithi, ‘Mbulale!’

28Ngakho u-Israyeli uzaphila yedwa evikelekile,

umthombo kaJakhobe uvikelekile,

elizweni lamabele kanye lewayini elitsha,

lapho amazulu phezulu akhithizela khona amazolo.

29Ubusisiwe wena, Oh Israyeli!

Ngubani onjengawe,

abantu abahlengwa nguThixo?

Ulihawu lakho lomsizi wakho

njalo uyinkemba yakho ekhazimulayo.

Izitha zakho zizatshotshobala phambi kwakho

njalo uzazinyathela phansi

zonke izindawo zabo zokukhonza eziphakemeyo.”
