U-Eksodusi 3:1-17 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
UMose wayelusa umhlambi womukhwe wakhe uJethro, umphristi wakwaMidiyani. Wawuqhuba wedlula ehlane, waze wayofika eHorebhe entabeni kaNkulunkulu. Ingelosi kaSimakade yabonakala kuye elangabini lomlilo phakathi kwesihlahla. Wabona ukuthi isihlahla siyavutha, kodwa asipheli. UMose wathi: “Ake ngichezuke ukuze ngibone lesi simangaliso esingaka, ukuthi kungani isihlahla singashi.” Lapho uSimakade ebona ukuthi uchezukile ukuyobheka, uNkulunkulu wambiza esesihlahleni, wathi: “Mose, Mose!” Yena wathi: “Ngilapha.” UNkulunkulu wathi: “Ungasondeli lapha; khumula izimbadada ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.” Wayesethi: “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe.” UMose wafihla ubuso bakhe, ngokuba wayesaba ukubheka uNkulunkulu. USimakade wathi: “Ngikubonile ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibhithe, futhi ngikuzwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yababacindezelayo, ngiyakwazi nokuhlupheka kwabo. Ngehlile ukuzobakhulula esandleni sabaseGibhithe, nokubakhuphula kuleli lizwe, ngibayise ezweni elihle nelibanzi, izwe elichichima ubisi noju, izwe lamaKhanani, amaHithi, ama-Amori, amaPherizi, amaHivi, namaJebusi. Manje, bheka, ukukhala kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli sekufinyelele kimi, futhi ngikubonile ukucindezelwa kwabo ngabaseGibhithe. Ngakho-ke hamba, ngiyakuthuma kuFaro ukuba uyokhulula abantu bami eGibhithe, abantu bakwa-Israyeli.” Kepha uMose wathi kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuthi ngingaya kuFaro, ngikhulule abantu bakwa-Israyeli eGibhithe na?” Wathi: “Ngizokuba nawe. Lesi kuyakuba yisibonakaliso sokuthi ngikuthumile: uma usubakhiphile abantu eGibhithe, niyakumkhonza uNkulunkulu kule ntaba.” UMose wathi kuNkulunkulu: “Uma ngifika kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, ngithi kubo: ‘UNkulunkulu woyihlo ungithumile,’ bese bengibuza bethi: ‘Ngubani igama lakhe na?’ ngiyakuthini kubo na?” UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Nginguye Enginguye.” Wathi: “Uyakubatshela abantu bakwa-Israyeli uthi: ‘UNginguye ungithumile kini.’ ” UNkulunkulu wabuye wathi kuMose: “Uyakusho kubantu bakwa-Israyeli uthi: ‘USimakade uNkulunkulu woyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe ungithumile kini.’ Leli yigama lami kuze kube phakade, engiyakukhunjulwa ngalo ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. “Hamba uqoqe amalunga akwa-Israyeli, uthi kuwo: ‘USimakade, uNkulunkulu wokhokho benu, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe uzibonakalisile kimi, wathi: “Ngikubonile konke okwenziwa kini eGibhithe, ngathi ngizonikhuphula ekuhlushweni ngabaseGibhithe, nginiyise ezweni lamaKhanani, lamaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaHivi, nelamaJebusi, izwe elichichima ubisi noju.” ’
U-Eksodusi 3:1-17 IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE (ZUL59)
UMose wayalusa izimvu zikaJetiro umukhwe wakhe, umpristi wakwaMidiyani; waziqhuba izimvu, waya ngaphambili kwehlane, waze wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu iHorebe. Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi kaJehova elangabini lomlilo livela phakathi kwesihlahla; wabuka, bheka, isihlahla savutha umlilo, kepha isihlahla asiphelanga nokho. Wayesethi uMose: “Mangiphambuke, ngiye ngibone lesi sibonakaliso esikhulu ukuba isihlahla asishi ngani.” UNkulunkulu esebona ukuthi uyaphambuka ukuyobuka, uNkulunkulu wambiza ephakathi kwesihlahla, wathi: “Mose, Mose!” Wathi: “Ngilapha.” Wayesethi: “Ungasondeli lapha; khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.” Wathi: “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe; uMose wasitha ubuso bakhe, ngokuba wesaba ukumbheka uNkulunkulu.” Wayesethi uJehova: “Ngibonile nokubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe; ngizwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yabacindezeli babo, ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo; ngehle ukuba ngibophule esandleni sabaseGibithe, ngibakhuphule kulelo zwe, ngibayise ezweni elihle elibanzi, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi, indawo yamaKhanani, neyamaHeti, neyama-Amori, neyamaPherizi, neyamaHivi, neyamaJebusi. Bheka, manje ukukhala kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli sekufike kimi; futhi ngikubonile ukucindezela abaseGibithe ababacindezela ngakho. Ngakho hamba, ngiyakukuthuma kuFaro ukuba ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.” UMose wayesethi kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngiye kuFaro, ngikhiphe eGibithe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli na?” Wathi: “Ngizakuba nawe ngempela; lokhu kuyakuba luphawu kuwe ukuthi ngikuthumile; nxa ukhiphile isizwe eGibithe, niyakumkhonza uNkulunkulu kule ntaba.” UMose wayesethi kuNkulunkulu: “Bheka lapho ngifika kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngithi kubo: ‘UNkulunkulu wawoyihlo ungithumile kini,’ bese bethi kimi: ‘Ngubani igama lakhe?’ ngizakuthini kubo na?” UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Nginguye enginguye.” Wathi: “Uzakusho njalo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UNgikhona* ungithumile.’ ” UNkulunkulu wathi futhi kuMose: “Uzakusho njalo kubo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ungithumile kini.’ Yileli eliyigama lami kuze kube phakade, lesi siyisikhumbuzo sami ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. “Hamba ubuthe amalunga akwa-Israyeli, uthi kuwo: ‘UJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama noka-Isaka nokaJakobe, ubonakele kimi, wathi: Nginihambele nokunihambela, ngibonile okwenziwa kini eGibithe. Ngishilo ngathi: Ngiyakunikhuphula ekuhluphekeni kwaseGibithe, nginiyise ezweni lamaKhanani, nelamaHeti, nelama-Amori, nelamaPherizi, nelamaHivi, nelamaJebusi, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.’

UMose wayeselusa umhlambi kaJetiro umukhwe wakhe, umpristi wakwaMidiyani; wahola umhlambi emva kwehlane, wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu kuze kufike eHorebe. Kwabonakala kuye ingelosi kaJehova elangabini lomlilo esihlahleni somunga; Wayesethi uMose: “Mangiphambuke, ngibone lo mbono omkhulu, ukuthi isihlahla somunga asishiswanga ngani.” Kwathi uJehova ebona ukuthi uphendukile ukuthi abone, uNkulunkulu wambiza esesihlahleni somunga, wathi: “Mose, Mose! Wathi: “Ngilapha.” Wathi: “Ungasondeli; khumula izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ngokuba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele. Futhi wathi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMose wafihla ubuso bakhe; ngoba wayesaba ukubuka uNkulunkulu. UJehova wathi: “Ngikubonile nokukubona ukuhlupheka kwabantu bami abaseGibithe, nokukhala kwabo ngezinceku zabo ngikuzwile; ngokuba ngiyazazi izinsizi zabo; Futhi ngehla ukuze ngibasindise esandleni sabaseGibhithe futhi ngibaqeqeshe baphume kulelo zwe ngibayise ezweni elihle nelikhulu, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi; endaweni yamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi; Manje, bheka, ukukhala kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli kwafika kimi, futhi ngabona ukucindezela abaseGibhithe ababebacindezela ngakho. Woza manje, ngizakuthuma kuFaro, ukhiphe eGibithe abantu bami, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngiye kuFaro, ngikhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe na?” Wathi: “Impela ngiyakuba nawe; lokhu kuyoba yisibonakaliso kuwe sokuthi ngikuthumile: Uma uhole abantu eGibhithe, kumelwe nikhonze uNkulunkulu kule ntaba. Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Bheka, lapho ngifika kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngithi kubo: ‘UNkulunkulu wawoyihlo ungithumile kini; bazakuthi kimi: Ngubani ibizo lakhe? ngizobatshelani. UNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: NGINGENAKHO ENGIKHONA; wathi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: UNGUYE ungithumile kini. Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi kuMose: “Uzakusho kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, ungithumile kini: igama lami. Kuze kube phakade, lesi yisikhumbuzo sami ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. Hamba, ubuthe amalunga akwa-Israyeli, uthi kuwo: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, ka-Isaka, noJakobe, ibonakele kimi, yathi: Nginihambele, ngabona okwenziwa kini. EGibhithe: Ngathi: Ngiyakunikhuphula ekuhluphekeni kwaseGibithe, nginiyise ezweni lamaKhanani, namaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.
