iEksodus iEksodus 6 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Uya kukubona ngoku endiya kukwenza kuFaro, kuba uya kubakhulula ngesandla esithe nkqi, abagxothe ezweni lakhe ngesandla esithe nkqi.

2Wathetha uThixo kuMoses, wathi kuye, NdinguYehova.

3Ndazibonakalisa kuAbraham, nakuIsake, nakuYakobi, egameni loThixo uSomandla; ke ngegama lam lokuba uYehova andazekanga kubo.

4Kananjalo ndawumisa nabo umnqophiso wam wokuba ndibanike ilizwe lakwaKanan, ilizwe lokuphambukela kwabo abaphambukela kulo.

5Kananjalo ndeva indumiso yoonyana bakaSirayeli, abakhonziswayo ngamaYiputa; ndawukhumbula umnqophiso wam.

6Ngako oko yithi koonyana bakaSirayeli, NdinguYehova, ndiya kunikhulula emithwalweni yamaYiputa, ndinihlangule ebukhobokeni bawo, ndinihlangule ngesandla esolukileyo, nangesandla esikhulu. Izigqibo:

7Ndiya kunithabatha nibe ngabantu bam, mna ndibe nguThixo wenu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu onikhuphayo phantsi kwemithwalo yamaYiputa;

8ndinise ezweni endaphakamisa isandla sam ngalo, ukuba ndilinike uAbraham noIsake noYakobi; ndiya kuninika lona, libe lilifa lenu: ndinguYehova.

9uMoses wathetha wenjenje koonyana bakaSirayeli, abamphulaphulanga uMoses ngenxa yomphefumlo obuhlungu, nangenxa yomsebenzi onzima.

10Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi:

11Ngena uthethe kuFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa, ukuba abandulule oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni lakhe.

12Wathetha uMoses phambi koYehova, wathi, Yabona, oonyana bakaSirayeli abandiphulaphulanga; Wothini na ke uFaro ukundiphulaphula, omlomo ungalukanga?

13Ngapha koko, uYehova wathetha kuMoses noAron waza wabayalela oonyana bakaSirayeli noFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa, ukuba abakhuphe oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa.

14Zizo ezi iintloko zezindlu zooyise: oonyana bakaRubhen, amazibulo kaSirayeli; noHanoki, noPalu, noHetseron, noKarmi; Yiyo le ke inzala kaRubhen.

15Oonyana bakaSimon nguYemuweli, noYamin, no-Ohadi, noYagin, noTsohare, noSawule, unyana womKananekazi; Ngabo abo oonyana bakaSimon.

16Ngawo lawo amagama oonyana bakaLevi ngokwemizalwane yabo; uGershon, noKehati, noMerari; iminyaka yobomi bukaLevi yaba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathathu anesixhenxe.

17Oonyana bakaGershon nguLibheni noShimehi ngokwemizalwane yabo.

18Oonyana bakaKehati nguAmram, noItsare, noHebron, noUziyeli; iminyaka yobomi bukaKehati yaba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathathu anamithathu.

19Oonyana bakaMerari nguMahali noMushi; yiyo leyo imizalwane yakwaLevi ngokwemizalwane yabo.

20uAmoram wazeka uYokebhede, udade boyise; wamzalela uAron noMoses; iminyaka yobomi buka-Amram yaba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathathu anesixhenxe.

21Oonyana bakaItsahare nguKora noNefegi noSigri.

22Oonyana bakaUziyeli nguMishayeli noElitsafan noSitri.

23uAron wazeka uElishebha, intombi ka-Aminadabhi, udade boNashon; wamzalela uNadabhi noAbhihu, uElazare noItamare.

24Oonyana bakaKoreni nguAsheri; nguAshere, noElikana, noAbhiyasafu: yiyo leyo imizalwane yamaKora.

25uElazare, unyana ka-Aron, wazeka enye yeentombi zikaPutiyeli yangumkakhe; wamzalela uPinehasi. Zizo ezo iintloko zezindlu zooyise zabaLevi ngokweenzala zazo.

26Nguye lowo uAron noMoses, wathi kubo uYehova, Bakhupheni oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa ngokwemikhosi yabo;

27Ngabo aba bathethayo kuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, ukuba abakhuphe oonyana bakaSirayeli eYiputa: nguMoses noAron.

28Kwenzeka oko mini wathetha uYehova kuMoses ezweni laseYiputa, wathi:

29Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, wathi, NdinguYehova; uthethe kuFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa, zonke izinto endizithethayo kuwe.

30Wathi uMoses phambi koYehova, Yabona, ndinemilebe yomlomo engalukanga; wothini na ukundiva uFaro?
