1uYitro, umbingeleli wakwaMidiyan, umolokazana kaMoses, wayiva yonke into uThixo abeyenzileyo kuMoses, nakubantu bakhe amaSirayeli, ukuba uYehova uwakhuphile amaSirayeli eYiputa. 2uYitro, uyise womkaMoses, wamthabatha uTsipora, umkaMoses, emveni kokuba uMoses wambuyisa, 3noonyana bakhe bobabini; igama lomnye nguGershom; ngokuba wathi, Bendingumphambukeli ezweni lolunye uhlanga. 4Igama lomnye lalinguEliyezere; ngokuba wathi uThixo kabawo ubengumncedi wam, wandihlangula ekreleni likaFaro. 5uYitro, umkhwe kaMoses, weza ke noonyana bakhe nomkakhe, kuMoses entlango, apho wayemise intente khona entabeni yoThixo oyinyaniso. 6Wathi kuMoses, Mna Yitro, unguyihlo, ndize kuwe, ndinomkakho noonyana bakhe bobabini. 7Waphuma uMoses, waya kumkhawulela uyise womkakhe, waqubuda, wamanga; babuzana impilo; bangena ententeni. 8uMoses wamxelela umkakhe konke uYehova abekwenzile kuFaro namaYiputa ngenxa yamaSirayeli, neembandezelo zonke eziwafikeleyo endleleni, nokuwahlangula kukaYehova. 9Wavuya uYitro ngako konke ukulunga abekwenzile uYehova kumaSirayeli, awabahlangulayo esandleni samaYiputa. 10Wathi uYitro, Makabongwe uYehova owanihlangulayo esandleni samaYiputa, nasesandleni sikaFaro, owabahlangulayo abantu esandleni samaYiputa. 11Ngoku ndiyazi ukuba uYehova mkhulu koothixo bonke, ngenxa yokuba ngombandela ababeqhayisa ngawo, wayengaphezu kwabo. 12uYitro, uyise womkaMoses, wamthabathela uThixo idini elinyukayo nemibingelelo; weza uAron namadoda amakhulu onke akwaSirayeli, ukuba adle isonka noyise womkaMoses phambi koThixo. 13Ngengomso uMoses wahlala phantsi wathetha amatyala abantu; abantu bema ngakuMoses, kususela kusasa kwada kwangokuhlwa. 14Wayibona uninazala kaMoses yonke into abeyenza ebantwini, wathi, Iyintoni na le nto uyenzayo ebantwini? Yini na, ukuba uhlale wedwa, bathi bona bonke abantu baxhontele kuwe, kususela kusasa kude kuhlwe? 15Wathi uMoses kumkakhe, Kungokuba abantu besiza kum ukuba bacele kuThixo; 16xa banendawo, baye beze kum; ndigwebe phakathi kwabo, ndibazise imithetho kaThixo nemiyalelo yabo. 17Wathi uyise womkaMoses kuye, Ayilungile le nto uyenzayo. 18Uya kudinwa, wena naba bantu unabo; ngokuba le nto inzima kuwe; awunakuyenza ngokwakho. 19Phulaphula ngoko izwi lam, ndikuphe iqhinga, uThixo abe nawe: yiba noThixo ngenxa yabantu, ukuze umxelele uThixo iindaba ezilungileyo; 20ubafundise imimiselo nemimiselo, ubabonise indlela abaya kuhamba ngayo, nomsebenzi abaya kuwenza. 21Ngaphezu koko, uze uzilungisele amadoda anobunkunkqele ekuthetheni amatyala, amoyikayo uThixo, ayinyaniso, ayithiyileyo inkanuko; ubamisele ukuba babe ngabathetheli bamawaka, nabathetheli bamakhulu, nabathetheli bamashumi ngamahlanu, nabathetheli bamashumi ngamanye; 22bathethe amatyala abantu ngamaxesha onke; zonke izinto ezinkulu ziya kuzizisa kuwe, zonke ezincinane baya kuzigweba; ngoko kuya kuba lula kuwe, bawuthwale nawe umthwalo. 23Ukuba uthe wayenza loo nto, waza wakuwisela umthetho uThixo, woba nako ukuqiniseka, luhambe olu hlanga lonke lunoxolo, endaweni yalo. 24uMoses waliphulaphula izwi loyise womkakhe, wayenza into yonke abeyithethile. 25uMoses wanyula amadoda anobunkunkqele ekuthetheni amatyala kuwo onke amaSirayeli, wawamisa aba ziintloko zabantu, aba ngabathetheli-waka, nabathetheli-makhulu, nabathetheli bamashumi ngamahlanu, nabathetheli bamashumi ngamanye. 26Babethutha abantu ngalo lonke ixesha; Izinto ezinzima bazisa kuMoses, kodwa zonke ezincinane bazigweba. 27uMoses wathi kuyise womkakhe, mabahambe; wemka kwelakowabo.
