1Wayesethi umpristi omkhulu: “Zinjalo lezi zinto na?
2Wasesithi: Madoda, bazalwane, labobaba, lalelani; UNkulunkulu wenkazimulo wabonakala kubaba wethu u-Abrahama eseMesophothamiya, engakakhi eHarana;
3Wathi kuye: “Phuma ezweni lakini nasezihlotsheni zakho, uye ezweni engiyakukukhombisa lona.
4Wayesephuma ezweni lamaKaledi, wahlala eHarana; kwathi esefile uyise wamyisa kuleli zwe enihlala kulo manje.
5Futhi kamnikanga ilifa kulo, hatshi, ngitsho lendawo yokubeka unyawo lwakhe, kodwa wathembisa ukumnika lona libe ngelakhe, lenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe, engakabi lomntwana.
6UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kanje, wathi: “Inzalo yakhe iyakuba ngabafokazi ezweni lezizwe; nokuthi babenze izigqila, babaphathe kabi iminyaka engamakhulu amane.
7Nesizwe eyakuba yizigqila zaso ngiyakusahlulela mina, washo uNkulunkulu, andukuba baphume, bangikhonze kule ndawo.
8Wasemnika isivumelwano sokusoka; ngakho u-Abhrahama wazala u-Isaka, wamsoka ngosuku lwesificaminwembili; u-Isaka wazala uJakobe; uJakobe wazala okhokho abayishumi nambili.
9Okhokho baba lomhawu ngoJosefa, bathengisa ngoJosefa eGibhithe, kodwa uNkulunkulu wayelaye.
10Wamkhulula kuzo zonke izinhlupheko zakhe, wamnika umusa nokuhlakanipha phambi kukaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe; wamenza umbusi phezu kweGibithe nendlu yakhe yonke.
11Kwase kufika indlala ezweni lonke laseGibithe nelaseKhanani, nokuhlupheka okukhulu; obaba kabafumananga ukudla.
12Kepha uJakobe esezwile ukuthi kukhona amabele eGibithe, wathuma obaba okokuqala.
13Kwasekusithi ngokwesibili uJosefa wabonakala kubafowabo; isihlobo sikaJosefa sesaziwa kuFaro.
14UJosefa wayesethuma wabiza uJakobe uyise, nezihlobo zakhe zonke, abantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu.
15UJakobe wehlela eGibithe, wafa, yena nawobaba bethu;
16Bathwalwa basiwa eShekemi, babekwa ethuneni u-Abrahama awalithenga ngenani lemali kumadodana kaHamori waseShekemi.
17Kwathi sesisondele isikhathi sesithembiso uNkulunkulu asifunga kuAbrahama, banda abantu, banda eGibhithe.
18Kwaze kwavela enye inkosi eyayingamazi uJosefa.
19Yona yaphatha izihlobo zethu ngobuqili, yabaphatha kubi obaba, baze baxotsha abantwana babo, ukuze bangaphili.
20Ngaleso sikhathi kwazalwa uMose, wayemuhle kakhulu, wondliwa izinyanga ezintathu endlini kayise.
21Eselahliwe, indodakazi kaFaro yamthatha, yazondlela yena ukuba abe yindodana yayo.
22UMose wafundiswa kukho konke ukuhlakanipha kwabaseGibithe, waba namandla ngamazwi nangezenzo.
23Kwathi eseneminyaka engamashumi amane ezelwe, kwafika enhliziyweni yakhe ukuhambela abafowabo, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
24Ebona omunye ephathwa kabi, wamvikela, wamphindisela ocindezelweyo, wamshaya owaseGibithe;
25Ngokuba wayethi abazalwane bakhe bazoqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezobakhulula ngesandla sakhe, kepha abaqondanga.
26Kwathi ngangomuso wabonakala kubo belwa, wafuna babuyisane, wathi: “Madoda, ningabazalwane; niphathana kabi ngani na?
27Kepha lowo owayemonile umakhelwane wakhe wamsunduza, wathi: ‘Ubekwe ngubani umbusi nomahluleli phezu kwethu na?
28Usufuna ukungibulala mina, njengalokho ubulele owaseGibithe izolo na?
29Ngalelo zwi uMose wabaleka, waba ngowezizwe ezweni lakwaMidiyani, lapho azala khona amadodana amabili.
30Kwathi isiphelile iminyaka engamashumi amane, kwabonakala kuye ehlane lentaba yaseSinayi ingelosi yeNkosi elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni.
31UMose ekubona wamangala ngalowo mbono;
32esithi: Mina nginguNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe. Wayesethuthumela uMose, akaba nasibindi sokubheka.
33INkosi yasisithi kuye: Khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
34Ngikubonile, ngikubonile ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibhithe, futhi ngizwile ukububula kwabo, futhi ngehlile ukuba ngibakhulule. Manje woza, ngizokuthuma eGibhithe.
35UMose lo abamalayo, bethi: “Ubekwe ngubani umbusi nomahluleli na? yena uNkulunkulu wamthuma ukuba abe ngumbusi nomkhululi ngesandla sengelosi eyabonakala kuye esihlahleni.
36Yena wabakhipha, ngemva kokuba enze izimanga nezibonakaliso ezweni laseGibhithe, naseLwandle Olubomvu, nasehlane iminyaka engamashumi amane.
37Nguye lo uMozisi owathi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izalivusela umprofethi kubazalwane benu onjengami; yena lizamuzwa.
38Lona nguye owayesebandleni ehlane kanye nengelosi eyakhuluma kuye entabeni yaseSinayi kanye nawobaba, owamukela amazwi aphilayo ukuze asinike wona;
39obaba bethu abavumanga ukumlalela, kodwa bamxotsha kibo, babuyela eGibhithe ngezinhliziyo zabo.
40besithi kuAroni: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu, ngoba uMozisi lo owasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.
41Benza ithole ngalezo zinsuku, banikela ngomhlatshelo esithombeni, bathokoza ngemisebenzi yezandla zabo.
42UNkulunkulu wayesephenduka, wabanikela ukuba bakhonze ibandla lezulu; njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lwabaprofethi ukuthi: Lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, lanikela kimi yini iminikelo lemihlatshelo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala?
43Nathwala itabernakele likaMoloki, nenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani, imifanekiso enayenza ukuba nikhuleke kuyo;
44Okhokho bethu babelethabhanekele lobufakazi enkangala njengokulaya kwakhe ekhuluma loMozisi ukuthi alenze njengomfanekiso ayewubonile.
45Okhokho bethu abayilandela bayingenisa kanye loJesu empahleni yabezizwe, uNkulunkulu abaxotshayo phambi kobuso babokhokho bethu, kwaze kwaba semihleni kaDavida;
46owathola umusa phambi kukaNkulunkulu, wacela ukutholela uNkulunkulu kaJakobe itabernakele.
47Kodwa uSolomoni wamakhela indlu.
48Kepha oPhezukonke akahlali ethempelini elenziwe ngezandla; njengokusho komprofethi.
49Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi, lomhlaba uyisenabelo senyawo zami; isho iNkosi; noma iyini indawo yami yokuphumula na?
50Isandla sami asizenzanga zonke lezi zinto na?
51Nina bantamo zilukhuni, abangasokile ezinhliziyweni nasezindlebeni, nimelana njalo noMoya oNgcwele;
52Ngumuphi kubaprofethi oyihlo abangamzingelanga na? bababulala labo ababika ngaphambili ngokufika koLungileyo; eseningabakhapheli nababulali bakhe manje;
53enamukela umthetho ngesandla sezingelosi, kepha aniwugcinanga.
54Kwathi bekuzwa lokho bahlabeka ezinhliziyweni, bamgedlela amazinyo.
55Kodwa yena egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, wagqolozela ezulwini, wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, loJesu emi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu;
56Wathi: “Bheka, ngibona amazulu evulekile, neNdodana yomuntu imi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
57Basebememeza ngelizwi elikhulu, bavala izindlebe zabo, bagijimela kuye nganhliziyonye.
58Bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi, bamkhanda ngamatshe; ofakazi babeka izingubo zabo ezinyaweni zensizwa egama layo linguSawule.
59Bamkhanda ngamatshe uStefanu, ebiza uNkulunkulu, ethi: “Nkosi Jesu, yamukela umoya wami.
60Waseguqa phansi, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Nkosi, ungababaleli lesisono. Eseshilo lokho walala ubuthongo.
