Ithole legolide
1Lapho abantu bebona ukuthi uMose wayengehli entabeni, abantu babuthana ku-Aroni, bathi kuye: “Sukuma, usenzele onkulunkulu abaya kuhamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, indoda eyasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.
2U-Aroni wayesethi kubo: “Khumulani amacici egolide asezindlebeni zabafazi benu, amadodana enu namadodakazi enu, niwalethe kimi.
3Bonke abantu bagqabula amacici egolide ayesezindlebeni zabo, bawaletha ku-Aroni.
4Wasithatha esandleni sabo, wasenza ngethuluzi lokugcoba, esesenze ithole elibunjiweyo; bathi: Laba bangonkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphulayo elizweni leGibhithe.
5U-Aroni wakubona, walakhela i-altare; u-Aroni wamemeza wathi: Kusasa kungumkhosi weNkosi.
6Bavuka ekuseni ngakusasa banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa, banikela ngeminikelo yokubonga; isixuku sahlala phansi ukuba sidle, siphuze, sasukuma ukuba sidlale.
7UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Hamba, wehle; ngoba abantu bakho owabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe bazichithile.
8Baphambuka masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo, bazenzela ithole elibunjiwe, balikhonza, balihlabela, bathi: “Naba onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphulile.” izwe laseGibhithe.
9INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibabonile lababantu; khangela, bangabantu abanenkani.
10Ngakho ake ngime, ukuze intukuthelo yami ibavuthele, ngibaqede; ngiyakukwenza isizwe esikhulu.
11UMose wamncenga uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wathi: “Jehova, ulaka lwakho luvuthelani abantu bakho owabakhipha ezweni laseGibithe ngamandla amakhulu nangesandla esinamandla na?
12Kungani amaGibhithe azakhuluma athi: Nguye owabakhupha ebubini ukuze ababulalele ezintabeni futhi abaqede emhlabeni? Phenduka olakeni lwakho futhi uphenduke kulobu bubi obumelene nabantu bakho.
13Cabanga ngezinceku zakho o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, owazifunga kubo, wathi kubo: ‘Ngiyakwandisa inzalo yenu ibe ngangezinkanyezi zezulu, ngininike lonke leli zwe engakhuluma ngalo inzalo. Bayakulidla ifa kuze kube phakade.
14UJehova wazisola ngobubi ayecabanga ukubenza kubantu bakhe.
15UMose waphenduka wehla entabeni, izibhebhe zombili zobufakazi zisesandleni sakhe; amatafula ayechazwe nhlangothi zombili; kulotshiwe ngalapha nangalapha.
16Izibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, nombhalo wawungumbhalo kaNkulunkulu, uqoshwe ezibhebheni.
17Lapho uJoshuwa ezwa umsindo wabantu bekhamuluka, wathi kuMose: “Kukhona impi ekamu.
18Wathi: “Leli akulona izwi lalabo abamemeza ngokubusa, futhi leli akulona izwi lalabo abakhala ngoba bekhungathekile; kodwa ngizwa umsindo wabahlabelelayo.
19Wathi esondela ekamu, wabona ithole nokusina, intukuthelo kaMose yavutha, waphonsa izibhebhe ezandleni zakhe, waziphihliza phansi kwentaba.
20Wathatha ithole ababelenzile, walishisa ngomlilo, walichoboza, walifafaza phezu kwamanzi, wabaphuzisa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
21UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Lababantu benzeni kuwe ukuthi uzehlisele phezu kwabo isono esikhulu kangaka?
22U-Aroni wathi: “Intukuthelo yenkosi yami mayingavuthi;
23Ngoba bathi kimi: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, indoda eyasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.
24Ngasengisithi kubo: Bonke abanegolide kabalidilize. Base benginika yona; ngase ngiwuphonsa emlilweni, kwaphuma leli thole.
25Lapho uMose ebona ukuthi abantu babenqunu; ngokuba u-Aroni wabanqunula, kwaba yihlazo phakathi kwezitha zabo.
26UMose wema esangweni lekamu, wathi: “Ngubani ongakuJehova na? akeze kimi. Wonke amadodana kaLevi abuthana kuye.
27Wathi kubo: “Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ithi: ‘Bekani, kube yilowo nalowo inkemba yakhe eceleni kwakhe, ningene, niphume esangweni, niye esangweni, phakathi kwekamu lonke, nibulale, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo. Umngane, ngulowo lalowo umakhelwane wakhe.
28Abantwana bakwaLevi benza njengezwi likaMose; kwawa ngalolo suku kubantu kungathi izinkulungwane ezintathu.
29Ngokuba uMose wathi: “Zibonakaliseni namuhla kuJehova, kube yilowo nalowo endodaneni yakhe nakumfowabo; ukuze akuphe isibusiso lamuhla.
30Kwathi ngangomuso uMose wathi kubantu: “Nenze isono esikhulu; manje ngizokhuphukela eNkosini; mhlawumbe ngizakuhlawulela isono senu.
31UMose wabuyela kuJehova, wathi: “Awu, laba bantu benzile isono esikhulu, bazenzela onkulunkulu begolide.
32Kodwa manje, uma ufuna ukubathethelela isono sabo—; uma kungenjalo, ngesule encwadini yakho oyilobile.
33INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Wonke owonayo kimi, ngizamesula encwadini yami.
34Hamba manje, uhole abantu, ubayise endaweni engakhuluma ngayo kuwe; bheka, iNgelosi yami ihamba phambi kwakho; kepha mhla ngibahambela, ngiyakubahambela ngesono sabo.
35INkosi yasibahlupha abantu, ngoba belenzile ithole uAroni alenzileyo.
