Eksodusi
13 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi, watsi: 2 “Onkhe ematibulo* lamadvuna ema-Israyeli kufanele uwanikele* kimi. Ematibulo lamadvuna latawutalwa ngewami,+ kungaba ngematibulo ebantfu nobe etilwane.”
3 Ngemuva kwaloko Mosi watsi kulabantfu: “Nibolikhumbula lelilanga leniphume ngalo eGibhithe,+ eveni lebenigcilatwa kulo, ngobe ngesandla lesinemandla Jehova unikhiphile khona.+ Ngako-ke kufanele ningadli lutfo lolunemvubelo. 4 Naphuma eGibhithe ngalelilanga leli, ngenyanga ya-Abibi.*+ 5 Ngalesikhatsi Jehova aningenisa eveni lemaKhenani, lemaHethi, lema-Amori, lemaHivi nelemaJebhusi,+ live lafunga kubokhokho benu kutsi utaninika lona,+ lokulive leligeleta lubisi neluju,+ nibowugubha lomkhosi ngalenyanga. 6 Kufanele nidle sinkhwa lesite imvubelo emalanga langu-7,+ bese kutsi ngelilanga lesi-7 nentele Jehova umkhosi. 7 Sinkhwa lesite imvubelo sitawudliwa emalanga langu-7,+ futsi kufanele kungatfolakali lutfo lolunemvubelo emkhatsini wenu.+ Akungatfolakali ngisho nenhlama lebilile kuyo yonkhe indzawo lenikuyo.* 8 Ngalelolanga emadvodzana enu nibowatjela nitsi: ‘Lomkhosi siwentela kukhumbula loko Jehova lasentela kona ngesikhatsi siphuma eGibhithe.’+ 9 Loku kutawuba luphawu etandleni tenu, kube sikhumbuto emabuntini+ enu,* kuze nikhulume ngemtsetfo waJehova, ngobe Jehova wanikhipha eGibhithe ngesandla lesinemandla. 10 Lomkhosi kufanele niwugcine minyaka yonkhe ngelilanga Nkulunkulu lalibekile.+
11 “Kutawutsi lapho Jehova aningenisa eveni lemaKhenani, live lafunga kutsi utalinika nine nabokhokho benu,+ 12 kufanele ninikele kuJehova onkhe ematibulo enu lamadvuna* kanye nawo onkhe ematibulo lamadvuna emfuyo yenu. Ematibulo lamadvuna ebantfu newetilwane ngewaJehova.+ 13 Litibulo lembongolo kufanele ulihlenge ngemvu, futsi nangabe ungalihlengi, ubolephula intsamo. Onkhe ematibulo enu lamadvuna nawo kufanele niwahlenge.+
14 “Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi nakwenteka emadvodzana enu anibuta atsi: ‘Kusho kutsini loku?’ nibowatjela nitsi: ‘Jehova wasikhulula ngesandla lesinemandla eGibhithe, live lebesigcilatwa kulo.+ 15 Ngesikhatsi Faro anenkhani futsi angavumi kusikhulula,+ Jehova wabulala onkhe ematibulo aseveni laseGibhithe, kusukela ematibulweni ebantfu kuya ematibulweni etilwane.+ Kungako-ke siwanikela kuJehova onkhe ematibulo etilwane lamadvuna,* futsi sihlenga onkhe ematibulo etfu.’ 16 Loku kutawuba luphawu etandleni tenu, kube nalibhande emabuntini enu,*+ ngobe Jehova wasikhipha eGibhithe ngesandla lesinemandla.”
17 Ngesikhatsi Faro avumela ema-Israyeli kutsi ahambe, Nkulunkulu akazange awahambise ngendlela yaseveni lemaFilisti, nanobe beyidvutane, ngobe bekatsi: “Labantfu kungenteka bashintje umcondvo nababhekana nemphi, bese babuyela eGibhithe.” 18 Ngako Nkulunkulu wabahambisa ngendlela yasehlane lelingaseLwandle Lolubovu.+ Baphuma eGibhithe bahlelekile, banjengemacembu emasotja. 19 Mosi watsatsa ematsambo aJosefa futsi bahamba nawo, ngobe Josefa abefungise emadvodzana a-Israyeli, watsi: “Nakanjani Nkulunkulu utanisita. Nibotsatsa ematsambo ami nihambe nawo naniphuma kulendzawo.”+ 20 Besuka eSukhothi bafike bamisa emathende e-Ethamu, eceleni kwasehlane.
21 Emini Jehova abehamba embikwabo ngensika yelifu kuze abahole endleleni,+ ebusuku abehamba embikwabo ngensika yemlilo kuze abakhanyisele. Loku abekwenta kute bakhone kuhamba emini nasebusuku.+ 22 Emini, lensika yelifu beyingesuki kuma-Israyeli, nasebusuku lensika yemlilo nayo beyingesuki.+
