UDuteronomi 9
1Zwana, Israyeli, uyakudabula iJordani namuhla ukungena ukudla izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe, imizi emikhulu ebiyelweyo kuze kufike ezulwini;
2abantu abakhulu nabade, abantwana bama-Enaki obaziyo, ozwile ukuthi: Ngubani ongema phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Enaki?
3Yazi-ke namuhla ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nguye odlula phambi kwakho; njengomlilo oqothulayo uyakubaqeda, abawise phambi kwakho; khona-ke kumelwe ubaxoshe futhi ubabhubhise ngokushesha, njengoba nje uJehova ekhulumile kini.
4Ungakhulumi enhliziyweni yakho emva kokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ebaxoshile phambi kwakho ngokuthi: ‘Ngenxa yokulunga kwami uJehova wangingenisa ukuba ngilidle leli zwe, kodwa ngenxa yobubi balezi zizwe uJehova waziletha. Ngaphandle kwakho.
5Akungenxa yokulunga kwakho noma ngenxa yobuqotho benhliziyo yakho ukuthi uyakudla ifa lezwe labo; kepha ngenxa yobubi balezi zizwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuzixosha phambi kwakho, agcwalise izwi uJehova alifungela oyihlo o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe.
6Yazi-ke ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akakuniki leli zwe elihle ukuba ulidle ngenxa yokulunga kwakho; ngoba ningabantu abanenkani.
Izono zabantu
7Khumbula, ungakhohlwa ukuthi wamthukuthelisa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ehlane; kusukela osukwini owaphuma ngalo ezweni laseGibithe, waze wafika kule ndawo, nahlubuka uJehova.
8NaseHorebe namthukuthelisa uJehova, uJehova wanithukuthelela ukuba anibhubhise.
9Lapho ngenyukela entabeni ukwamukela izibhebhe zamatshe, izibhebhe zesivumelwano uJehova asenza nani, ngahlala entabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, futhi angizange ngidle isinkwa, futhi angiphuzanga manzi.
10UJehova wanginika izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe zilotshwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu; kwakulotshwe kuyo njengawo wonke amazwi uJehova awakhuluma kini entabeni phakathi komlilo ngosuku lokuhlangana.
11Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane uJehova wanginika izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe, izibhebhe zesivumelwano.
12UJehova wathi kimi: “Sukuma, usuke lapha masinyane; ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhipha eGibithe babunile, baba yincithakalo; baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo; bazenzela isithombe esibunjiweyo.
13Futhi uJehova wakhuluma kimi, wathi: “Ngibabonile laba bantu; bheka, bangabantu abanenkani.
14Mangime, ngibabhubhise, ngesule igama labo phansi kwezulu; ngiyakukwenza ube yisizwe esinamandla nesikhulu kunabo.
15Ngase ngiphenduka ngehla entabeni, intaba yavutha umlilo, izibhebhe zombili zesivumelwano zisesandleni sami sobabili.
16Ngabona, bhekani, nonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nazenzela ithole elibunjiweyo; naphambuka masinyane endleleni uJehova aniyale ngayo.
17Ngase ngithatha amatafula amabili ngawalahla ezandleni zami zombili, ngawaphahlaza phambi kwamehlo enu.
18Ngawa phansi phambi kukaJehova njengakuqala izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; angidlanga sinkwa, angiphuzanga manzi ngenxa yazo zonke izono zenu enone ngazo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba nimthukuthelise.
19Ngokuba ngesaba intukuthelo nokuvutha kolaka uJehova anithukuthelela ngakho ukuba anibhubhise. Kodwa uJehova wangizwa ngaleso sikhathi.
20UJehova wamthukuthelela kakhulu u-Aroni, waze wambhubhisa; futhi ngamkhulekela u-Aroni ngaleso sikhathi.
21Ngasithatha isono senu, ithole enalenza, ngalishisa ngomlilo, ngaligxoba, ngalicolisisa, laze lacoleka njengothuli; ngase ngiluphonsa uthuli lwalo emfudlaneni ophuma entabeni.
22EThabera naseMasa naseKibroti-Hatava nimthukuthelisa uJehova.
23Ngokunjalo lapho uJehova enithuma nisuka eKadeshi-Barineya ukuthi: ‘Khuphukani nilidle izwe engininike lona; nahlubuka emyalezweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, anikholwanga nguye, anililalelanga izwi lakhe.
24Lina lihlubukile eNkosini kusukela osukwini engalazi ngalo.
25Ngase ngiwa phansi phambi kukaJehova izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, lapho ngawa phansi ekuqaleni; ngokuba uJehova ushilo ukuthi uyakunibhubhisa.
26Ngakhuleka kuJehova ngathi: ‘Nkosi Jehova, ungabhubhisi abantu bakho nefa lakho olihlengile ngobukhulu bakho owalikhipha eGibithe ngesandla esinamandla.
27Khumbula izinceku zakho, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe; ungabheki inkani yalaba bantu, nobubi babo, nesono sabo.
28Izwe owasikhipha kulo malingasho ukuthi: ‘Ngokuba uJehova wayengenakubangenisa ezweni abathembisa lona, nangokuba wayebazonda, wabahola ukuba ababulale ehlane.
29Kodwa bangabantu bakho nefa lakho, obakhiphile ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo.
