Ngoku ke naku ukukhala koonyana bakaSirayeli, kufikile kum; kananjalo ndikubonile ukuxina abaxine ngako amaYiputa. Hamba ngoku, ndíkuthume kuFaro, ubakhuphe eYiputa abantu bam, oonyana bakaSirayeli. Wathi uMoses kuThixo, Ndingubani na ukuba ndingáde ndiye kuFaro, ukuba ndibakhuphe eYiputa oonyana bakaSirayeli? Wathi, Ndiya kuba nawe.

Wathi uMoses kuThixo, Ùyabona, ukuba ndiya koonyana bakaSirayeli, ndithi kubo, UThixo wooyihlo undithumile kuni, baze bathi kum, Ngubani na igama lakhe? ndothini na kubo? Wathi uThixo kuMoses, NDINGUYE ENDINGUYE. Wathi, Wòtsho koonyana bakaSirayeli ukuthi, uNDINGUYE undithumile kuni. Waphinda wathi uThixo kuMoses, Wòthi koonyana bakaSirayeli, UYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi, undithumile kuni: ligama lam elo ngonaphakade, sisikhumbuzo sam eso kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Yiya uhlanganise amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, uthi kuwo, UYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, uThixo ka-Abraham, kaIsake, kaYakobi, ubonakele kum, wathi, Ndinivelele nina, naloo nto niyenziweyo eYiputa. Ndathi, Ndiya kuninyusa niphume ezintsizini zaseYiputa, niye ezweni lamaKanan, namaHiti, nama-Amori, namaPerizi, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, ezweni elibaleka amasi nobusi. Boliphulaphula ilizwi lakho; uze uye ke wena namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli kukumkani waseYiputa, nithi kuye, UYehova uThixo wamaHebhere uhlangene nathi; ngoku makhe sihambe entlango uhambo lweentsuku ezintathu, sibingelele kuYehova uThixo wethu. Ke mna ndiyazi, ukuba ukumkani waseYiputa akayi kunivumela ukuba nihambe, nokuba sekungesandla esithe nkqi. Ndiya kusolula isandla sam, ndiyibethe iYiputa ngemisebenzi yam yonke ebalulekileyo, endiya kuyenza phakathi kwayo, andule ke ukunindulula.

IEKSODUS 3:1-20 IBHAYIBHILE (XHO96)
Ngoku ke uMosis wayesalusa imihlambi kaJetro umbingeleli waseMidiyan, uyise womkakhe. Wayikhokela ke imihlambi leyo, wanqumla entlango, wada waya kufika eHorebhe intaba kaThixo. Apha kulapho sabonakalayo kuye isithunywa *sikaNdikhoyo etyholweni elidangazela umlilo. Uthe ke akuqwalasela uMosis wabona ukuba okunene ityholo liyavutha, kodwa alide litshe. Wathetha yedwa wathi: “Makhe ndisondele ndibone lo mhlola! Ngani ukuba ityholo lingatshi?” *UNdikhoyo wathi akubona ukuba uMosis uyasondela efuna ukuqonda lo mbono, wamkhwaza esetyholweni apho, wathi: “Mosis! Mosis!” Wasabela ke yena wathi: “Ewe, ndim lo.” UThixo wathi kuye: “Sukusondela; khulula iimbadada ezo, kuba le ndawo umi kuyo yindawo eyodwa.” Wandula wathi uThixo kuye: “Mna ndinguThixo wookhokho bakho; uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi.” UMosis ke wabugquma ubuso bakhe, kuba esoyika ukujonga uThixo. Waqhuba ke *uNdikhoyo wathi: “Ngenene ndiyibonile imbandezelo yabantu bam eJiputa. Ndisivile nesimbonono sabo ngenxa yâbo babatshutshisayo. Ewe, ndiyayiqonda intlungu yabo; ngoku ke ndihlile ukuze ndibahlangule esandleni samaJiputa, ndibakhulule baphume kwelo lizwe, baye kwilizwe elihle eliphangaleleyo, eliphuphuma ubisi nobusi. Elo ke lelamaKanana, amaHiti, ama-Amori, amaPerezi, amaHivi, namaJebhusi. Kaloku isikhalo samaSirayeli side saza kufikelela kum, ibe ke ndiyibonile nengcinezelo aphantsi kwayo esandleni samaJiputa. Hamba ke; ndikuthuma kukumkani waseJiputa, ukuze ubakhokele baphume eJiputa abantu bam amaSirayeli.” UMosis wathi kuThixo: “Kuxa ndingubani mna ukuba ndingade ndiye kukumkani ukuze ndikhuphe amaSirayeli eJiputa?” UThixo waphendula wathi: “Ndiya kuba nawe. Nanku umqondiso wokuba uthunywa ndim: mhla wabakhupha abo bantu eJiputa noza kundinqula mna Thixo apha kule ntaba.” UMosis wabuza wathi: “Ukuba ndiyile ke kumaSirayeli, ndawaxelela ukuba ndithunywe kuwo nguThixo wookhokho bawo, aza wona andibuza ukuba ngubani igama lakhe, ze ndithini?” UThixo waphendula wathi: “Ndinguye uNdikhoyo. Uze uwaxelele amaSirayeli ukuba uthunywa nguNdikhoyo.” UThixo waqhuba wathi: “Uze uthi kumaSirayeli: ‘Ndithunywa *nguNdikhoyo, uThixo wookhokho benu: uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi.’ Kaloku eli ligama lam nanini nanini; ndaye ke ndiya kubizwa ngalo nazizizukulwana ezizayo. Ngoko ke hamba uwaqokelele amadoda amakhulu amaSirayeli, uthi kuwo: ‘Ndimbonile uNdikhoyo, uThixo wookhokho benu, uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi; uthe: “Ndinijongile ndayibona imeko enikuyo apha eJiputa; ngoku ke ndizimisele ukunikhulula kule mbandezelo yaseJiputa, ndinise kwilizwe lamaKanana, amaHiti, ama-Amori, amaPerezi, amaHivi, namaJebhusi; nditsho ilizwe elivuza ubisi nobusi.” ’ “Ukuba ke utshilo kubo baya kukuphulaphula. Wena ke uya kuthatha amadoda amakhulu amaSirayeli, niye kukumkani waseJiputa, nithi kuye: ‘Sibonene noNdikhoyo uThixo wamaHebhere; ngoku ke siyakubongoza ukuba ukhe usikhulule, sithathe uhambo lweentsuku ezintathu, siye entlango, sibingelele simenzele idini uNdikhoyo Thixo wethu.’ Kambe ke ndiyazi ukuba ukumkani waseJiputa akayi kunivumela ngaphandle kokuba ndide ndimnyanzele. Ngoko ke mna ndiya kuwaqwakanisa amaJiputa, ndenze imimangaliso eya kuwarhwaqelisa; emva koko ke uya kunikhulula.

Kekaloku u‐Mosesi ebesalusa izimvu zika‐Yetero, usomfazi wake, umperisite wase‐Midiyane: wasuka waqu̔ba izimvu ngasele kwentlango, wada wafika entabeni KATIXO, e‐Horebe. Yandula yabonakala ingelosi KAYEHOVA kuye elangatyeni lomlilo pakati kwetyolo; waza wakangela, kekaloku nali ityolo lisitsha ngomlilo, lingenakugqityelwa noko. Wayesiti u‐Mosesi: Ndoka ndipambuke ndiye kubona esisibonakalo sikulu, kunganina ukuba lingatshisekanga ityolo. Wati akubona UYEHOVA ukuba upambukile ukuza kubona, wandula UTIXO wabiza kuye kwa pakati kwetyolo, wati: Mosesi, Mosesi! Wati yena: Nanku, ndilapa. Wayesiti: Ungasondeli apa; susa izihlangu zako ezinyaweni zako, ngokuba indawo umi kuyo ingumhlaba ongcwele. Wabuya wati: Mna ndi NGUTIXO woyihlo, UTIXO ka‐Abrahame, UTIXO ka‐Yisake, NOTIXO ka‐Yakobi. Waza u‐Mosesi wagqubutela ubuso bake; ngokuba ebesoyika ukukangela NGAKUTIXO. Wati kanjalo UYEHOVA: Ndikolisile ukubona ubunzima babantu bam abase‐Jipete, nokukala kwabo ndikuvile ngenxa yenkosi zabo zomsebenzi; ngokuba intsizi zabo ndizazile. Ndihlile ngoko, ukuba ndibahlangule esandleni sama‐Jipete, nokuba ndibanyuse kwelilizwe baye ezweni elilungileyo nelibanzi, ezweni elela ubisi nobusi; endaweni yabo aba‐Kanane, nama‐Hete, naba‐Amori, nama‐Perizi, nama‐Hivi, nama‐Yebusi. Nakaloku, nanku ukukala kwosapo luka‐Sirayeli kufikile kum; kanjako ndibonile imbandezelo ama‐Jipete alubandezela ngayo. Uze ke ngoku, ndandiya kukutuma ukuya ku‐Faro, ukuba upumise abantu bam, usapo luka‐Sirayeli, e‐Jipete. Waza wati u‐Mosesi KUTIXO: Ndingubanina mna, ukuba ndiye ku‐Faro, nokuba ndipumise usapo luka‐Sirayeli e‐Jipete? Wayesiti: Ngenyaniso ndiya kubako nawe; kanjako oku kwoba ngumqondiso kuwe, wokuba ndikutumile mna: nxa ubakupileyo ababantu e‐Jipete, niya kumkonza UTIXO pezu kwalentaba. Wati u‐Mosesi KUTIXO: Bona ke, ndakuza kufika elusatsheni luka‐Sirayeli, nditi kulo: UTIXO woyihlo benu unditumile kuni; lwandule luti kum: Ngubanina igama lake? ndoti nina kulo? Waye UTIXO esiti ku‐Mosesi: NDIKOKO ENDIKUKO. Wati kanjalo: Uya kutsho elusatsheni luka‐Sirayeli ukuti: UNDINGOKOYO unditumile kuni. Walekela wati UTIXO ku‐Mosesi: Uya kutsho elusatsheni luka‐Sirayeli ukuti: UYEHOVA, UTIXO woyihlo benu, UTIXO ka‐Abrahame, UTIXO ka‐Yisake, NOTIXO ka‐Yakobi, unditumile kuni; leli igama lam kude kube ngunapakade, sesi nesikumbuzo sam kwisizukulwana ngesizukulwana. Hamba, uye uhlanganise abadala bo‐Sirayeli, uti kubo: UYEHOVA, UTIXO woyihlo benu, ubonakele kum, kwa UTIXO ka‐Abrahame, ka‐Yisake, noka‐Yakobi, esiti: Sendinikumbule ngokwenene, noko enenzelwe kona e‐Jipete. Ndite ngoko: Ndoninyusa ebunzimeni base‐Jipete niye elizweni laba‐Kanane, nama‐Hete, naba‐Amori, nama‐Perizi, nama‐Hivi, nama‐Yebusi, elizweni elela ubisi nobusi. Bopulapula ke ilizwi lako; wauya kuza wena, kwa nabadala bo‐Sirayeli, kukumkani we‐Jipete, naniya kuti kuye: UYEHOVA, UTIXO wama‐Hebere, uhlangene nati; uz’ uti ke kaloku, makesiye ihambo yemihla ibe mitatu entlango, ukuya kubingela UYEHOVA, UTIXO wetu. Sendikwazi kodwa, okokuba akayi kuvuma ukumkani we‐Jipete ukuba niye, kupela ngesandla esinamandla. Ngokuba ndiya kwolula isandla sam, ndibete i‐Jipete ngayo yonke imimangaliso yam, endiya kuyenza pakati kwayo; woti emveni kwoko anindulule.
