33 Jehova wachubeka watsi kuMosi: “Sale usuka lapha nalabantfu lowabakhipha eveni laseGibhithe, nihambe niye eveni lengafunga ngalo ku-Abrahama, ku-Isaka nakuJakobe, nangitsi: ‘Lelive ngitalinika intalelwane* yakho.’+ 2 Ngitawutfumela ingilosi kutsi ihambe embikwenu,+ icoshe emaKhenani, ema-Amori, emaHethi, emaPheresi, emaHivi nemaJebhusi.+ 3 Hambani niye eveni leligeleta lubisi neluju.+ Kodvwa mine angeke ngihambe nani, ngobe anilaleli,*+ futsi ngingasuke nginicotfule endleleni.”+
4 Ngesikhatsi labantfu beva lamavi labuhlungu, balila, futsi kute ngisho namunye kubo lowafaka imihlobiso yakhe. 5 Jehova watsi kuMosi: “Khuluma nema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Nine nibantfu labangalaleli.*+ Ngesikhashana nje ngingavele ngihambe emkhatsini wenu nginicotfule.+ Ngako-ke ningayifaki lemihlobiso yenu, njengobe ngisacabanga kutsi ngitakwentani ngani.’” 6 Ngako kusukela ngesikhatsi aseNtsabeni iHorebe kuchubeke, ema-Israyeli bekangasayifaki* imihlobiso yawo.
7 Mosi watsatsa lithende lakhe walimisa ngephandle kwalendzawo lebebahlala kuyo, khashanyana nayo, futsi walibita ngekutsi lithende lekuhlangana. Bonkhe bantfu lebebafuna sicondziso kuJehova+ bebaya kulelithende lekuhlangana, lebelingephandle kwalendzawo lebebahlala kuyo. 8 Bekutsi njalo Mosi nakaya kulelithende, bonkhe bantfu basukume beme eminyango yemathende abo, bambuke aze ayongena kulelithende. 9 Ngekushesha nje nakangena kulelithende, bekwehla insika yelifu+ ime emnyango walo lapho Nkulunkulu akhuluma naMosi.+ 10 Ngesikhatsi bonkhe labantfu babona lensika yelifu ime emnyango walelithende, ngamunye wabo abesukuma akhotsame emnyango welithende lakhe. 11 Jehova abekhuluma naMosi buso nebuso,+ njengalapho umuntfu akhuluma nalomunye umuntfu. Bekutsi Mosi nakabuyela kulendzawo lebebahlala kuyo, Joshuwa+ indvodzana yaNuni, lobekayinceku nemsiti wakhe,+ yena angesuki kulelithende.
12 Mosi wabese utsi kuJehova: “Wena utsi kimi: ‘Hola labantfu ukhuphuke nabo,’ kodvwa awukasho kutsi utangitfuma nabani. Uphindze watsi kimi: ‘Ngikukhetsile* futsi utfole umusa emehlweni ami.’ 13 Nangabe ngitfole umusa emehlweni akho, ngicela ungifundzise tindlela takho+ kuze ngikwati futsi ngichubeke ngitfola umusa kuwe. Khumbula nekutsi labantfu basive sakho.”+ 14 Ngako Nkulunkulu watsi: “Mine* ngitawuhamba nawe,+ futsi ngitakusita kutsi ungakhatsateki.”+ 15 Mosi watsi kuye: “Nangabe wena* ungeke uhambe natsi, ungasikhiphi-ke kulendzawo. 16 Labanye batawukwati njani kutsi mine nebantfu bakho sitfole umusa emehlweni akho? Kuhamba kwakho natsi+ akusiko yini lokutawukwenta kutsi mine nalabantfu bakho sehlukaniseke kubo bonkhe labanye bantfu labasemhlabeni?”+
17 Jehova wachubeka watsi kuMosi: “Ngitawukwentela naloku lokucelako ngobe utfole umusa emehlweni ami futsi ngikwati kahle.” 18 Mosi wabese utsi: “Ngicela ungikhombise inkhatimulo yakho.” 19 Kodvwa Nkulunkulu watsi: “Ngitawukwenta kutsi ubone bonkhe buhle bami, ngiphindze ngimemetele kuwe libito lami, lelitsi Jehova.+ Ngitamentela umusa loyo lengifuna kumentela umusa, ngibe nesihawu kuloyo lengifuna kuba nesihawu kuye.”+ 20 Wachubeka watsi: “Ungeke ububone buso bami, ngobe kute umuntfu longangibona futsi aphile.”
21 Jehova wase utsi: “Nayi indzawo lapha eceleni kwami. Mani etikwalelidvwala. 22 Ngitawutsi nangendlula ngenkhatimulo yami, ngikufake embotjeni yalelidvwala, futsi ngikumbonye ngesandla sami ngize ngendlule. 23 Ngemuva kwaloko ngitawusisusa sandla sami, bese ubona umhlane wami. Kodvwa buso bami angeke uze ububone.”+
