Amacilongo Esiliva Okubiza Inhlangano
1USimakade wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Zenzele amacilongo esiliva amabili abe ngumsebenzi ocangcathiweyo, uyakuwasebenzisa ukubiza inhlangano nalapho seyisuka inkambu. 3Lapho bewabetha kanyekanye, yonke inhlangano iyobuthana kuwe ngasemnyango wethende lokuhlangana. 4Uma kubethwa elilodwa, bonke abaholi nezinhloko zezindlu zemindeni yakwa-Israyeli, ziyakubuthana kuwe. 5 Uma nihlaba umkhosi, izinkambu ezingasempumalanga ziyosuka zihambe. 6 Uma senihlaba umkhosi okwesibili izinkambu ezingaseningizimu ziyosuka, ziyohlaba umkhosi ekusukeni kwazo. 7Lapho ubiza ibandla niyobetha amacilongo, kodwa ningawuhlabi umkhosi.
8 “Amadodana ka-Aroni angabaphristi ayoshaya amacilongo, kuyokuba kini yisimiso saphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu. 9 Kuyothi lapho niphuma impi ezweni lakini ukuyokulwa nesitha esinihlaselayo, nihlabe umkhosi ngamacilongo. USimakade uNkulunkulu wenu uyonikhumbula, anisindise ezitheni zenu. 10 Ngezinsuku zokuthokoza kwenu, nangemikhosi emisiweyo, nasekwethwaseni kwenyanga, niyakubetha amacilongo enu phezu kweminikelo yenu yokushiswa naphezu kwemihlatshelo yeminikelo yenu yokuthula. Iyoba yisikhumbuzo senu phambi kukaNkulunkulu wenu; nginguSimakade uNkulunkulu wenu.”

UMose Uncenga UHobhabhi
29 UMose wathi kuHobhabhi, indodana kaRuweli wakwaMidiyani, umukhwe kaMose: “Sesizakusuka siye endaweni uSimakade asitshele ngayo, wathi: ‘Ngiyoninika yona.’ Woza, hamba nathi! Siyokwenzela okuhle ngokuba uSimakade ukhulumile okuhle ngo-Israyeli.”
30 Wathi kuye: “Angiyukuhamba, kunalokho ngizosuka ngiye kwelakithi nasezihlotsheni zami.”
31Kepha wathi kuye: “Ngiyakuncenga, ungasishiyi, njengalokhu wazi ukuthi siyakukanisa ehlane, wena uyokuba ngamehlo ethu. 32 Kuyothi uma uhamba nathi, kwenzeka uSimakade asenzele noma yikuphi okuhle, nathi siyokwenzela okuhle.”
33 Basuka entabeni kaSimakade, bahamba ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu. Umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaSimakade wahamba phambi kwabo ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu, ukubafunela indawo yokuphumula. 34 Ifu likaSimakade laliphezu kwabo emini, lapho besuka enkanjini.
Umkhuleko KaMose
35 Ekusukeni komphongolo, uMose wathi:
“Vuka, Simakade;
mazihlakazeke izitha zakho;
abakuzondayo babaleke phambi kwakho.”
36 Ekumeni kwawo wathi:
“Buyela, Simakade emashumini ezinkulungwane
zemindeni yakwa-Israyeli.”
