Eksodusi 24:1-18
24 Ngemva kwalokho wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kuJehova, wena no-Aroni, uNadabi no-Abhihu + nabangu-70 emadodeni amadala akwa-Israyeli, nikhothame nisekude.
2 Uwena wedwa Mose okufanele usondele kuJehova; kodwa abanye akufanele basondele futhi abantu akufanele bakhuphuke kanye nawe.” +
3 UMose weza watshela abantu wonke amazwi kaJehova nazo zonke izinqumo zokwahlulela, + bonke abantu baphendula ngazwi linye bathi: “Wonke amazwi uJehova awakhulumile sizimisele ukuwenza.” +
4 Ngakho uMose wawabhala phansi wonke amazwi kaJehova. + Wavuka ekuseni kakhulu wakha i-altare nezinsika ezingu-12 phansi kwentaba ngokuvumelana nezizwe zakwa-Israyeli ezingu-12.
5 Ngemva kwalokho wathuma izinsizwa zakwa-Israyeli, zanikela iminikelo eshiswayo zahlaba izinkunzi zaba imihlatshelo ehlanganyelwayo + kuJehova.
6 UMose wathatha uhhafu walelo gazi wawufaka ezitsheni, omunye uhhafu wawufafaza e-altare.
7 Wabe esethatha incwadi yesivumelwano wayifundela abantu ngokuzwakalayo. + Bona bathi: “Konke uJehova akukhulumile sizimisele ukukwenza futhi sizolalela.” +
8 Ngakho uMose wathatha igazi walifafaza kubantu + wathi: “Leli yigazi lesivumelwano uJehova asenze nani ngokuvumelana nawo wonke la mazwi.” +
9 UMose no-Aroni, uNadabi no-Abhihu namadoda amadala akwa-Israyeli angu-70 bakhuphuka,
10 bambona uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. + Ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe kwakukhona okunjengendawo eyenziwe ngesafire, kuhlanzeke njengamazulu uqobo lwawo. +
11 Akawalimazanga amadoda aholayo akwa-Israyeli + futhi abona umbono kaNkulunkulu weqiniso, adla aphuza.
12 Manje uJehova wathi kuMose: “Khuphukela kimi entabeni uhlale khona. Ngizokunika amatshe ayizicaba anomthetho nomyalo engizowubhala ukuze ngibaqondise.” +
13 Ngakho uMose nesikhonzi sakhe uJoshuwa basuka, + uMose wakhuphukela entabeni kaNkulunkulu weqiniso. +
14 Kodwa emadodeni amadala wayethe: “Silindeni lapha size sibuye. + U-Aroni noHure + bazosala nani. Uma kuba khona ofuna ukumangala, angaya kubo.” +
15 UMose wabe esekhuphukela entabeni kuyilapho ifu liyimbozile. +
16 Inkazimulo kaJehova + yayilokhu iseNtabeni iSinayi, + ifu layimboza izinsuku eziyisithupha. Ngosuku lwesikhombisa wabiza uMose ephakathi kwefu.
17 Kuma-Israyeli ayebuka, ukubonakala kwenkazimulo kaJehova kwakunjengomlilo ovuthayo esiqongweni sentaba.
18 UMose wabe esengena phakathi kwefu wenyuka intaba. + UMose wahlala entabeni izinsuku ezingu-40 nobusuku obungu-40. +
