Sehluko 13
1
Wase Simakadze ukhuluma ku Mosi, utsi,
2
''Ngehlukanisele wonkhe lomdvuna lolitubulo - ngoba konkhe lokukwekucala kuvula sibeletfo kuma Israyeli ngekwami, noma kungaba ngumuntfu noma silwane.''
3
Mosi watsi kulabantfu, ''Ningalikhohlwa lelilanga leli, lelilanga lenaphuma ngalo eGibhithe, naphuma endlini yebugcila, ngoba ngesandla saSimakadze lesinemandla unikhiphile kulendzawo. Kute sinkhwa lesinemvubelo lekumele sidliwe.
4
Niyaphuma eGibhithe ngalelilanga leli, ngenyanga ya Abib.
5
Uma Simakadze aniletsa eveni lema Khenane, nema Hittites, nema Amorites, nema Hivites, nema Jebusites, lelive lafunga kubokhokho benu kuninika, live leligeleta luju nelubisi - ngako kumele nigubhe lendlela yekukhonta kulenyanga.
6
Emalanga lasikhombisa nibokudla sinkhwa lesite imvubelo; ngelilanga lesikhombisa kutoba nesidlo lesikhulu sekuhlonipha Simakadze.
7
Sinkhwa lesingenamvubelo kumele sidliwe kuwo onkhe lamalanga lasikhombisa; kute sinkhwa lesinemvubelo lekumele sibonakale emkhatsini wenu. Kute imvubelo lekumele ibonakale kini ngekhatsi kwemahheke enu.
8
Ngalelo langa nitawutsi kubantfwabenu, 'Loku kungenca yalangentela kona Simakadze uma ngiphuma eGibhithe.''
9
Loku kutoba sikhumbuto senu esandleni senu, nesikhumbuto esimongweni senu. Loku kukwekutsi umtsetfo wa Simakadze ube semlonyeni wenu, ngoba ngesandla lesinemandla Simakadze wanikhipha eGibhithe.
10
Ngako ke nibowugcina lomtsetfo ngesikhatsi lesikhonjiwe ngemnyaka ngemnyaka.
11
Uma Simakadze aniletsa eveni lema Khenane, njengoba afunga kini nakubokhokho benu kutsi utokwenta, phindze nakanika lelive kini,
12
kumele nehlukanisele Simakadze onkhe ematubulo asosonkhe sibeletfo. Onkhe ematubulo emfuyo yenu lamadvuna, atoba nge aSimakadze.
13
Onkhe ematubulo etimbongolo kumele niwahlenge ngemvana. Uma ningawatsengi futsi, kutomele niwaphule tintsamo. Kepha onkhe ematubulo emadvodzana enu kumele niwahlenge.
14
Uma indvodzana yakho ikubuta, 'Kusho kutsini loku?' utawuse uyamtjela, 'Bekungesandla lesinemandla kutsi Simakadze asikhiphe eGibhithe, endlni yebugcila.
15
Uma Faro ala kusivumela sihambe, Simakadze wabulala onkhe ematubulo eGibhithe, ematubulo etilwane kanye newebantfu. Kungako nginikela ku Simakadze onkhe ematubulo lavula kucala sibeletfo kepha onkhe ematubulo langemadvodzana ami ngitowahlenga.'
16
Loku kutoba sikhumbuto etandleni tenu, nesikhumbuto etimongweni tenu, ngoba bekungesandla lesinemandla Simakadze lasikhipha ngaso eGibhithe.''
17
Uma Faro avumela labantfu bahambe, Nkulunkulu akabaholanga ngendlela lengaseveni lema Filisti, noma ngabe lelo live lalidvutane. Ngoba Nkulunkulu watsi, ''Encenye labantfu batawushintja tingcondvo tabo uma babukane nemphi baphindze babuyele eGibhithe.''
18
Ngako Nkulunkulu wabahola ngase hlane kuya eLwandle Lwemihlanga. Ema Israyeli asuka eveni lema Gibhithe ahlomele imphi.
19
Mosi watsatsa ematsambo aJosefa, ngoba Josefa abente emadvodzana a Israeli afunga ase atsi, ''Nkulunkulu utanisindzisa ngephandle kwekungabata, futsi kutomele nitsatse ematsambo ami nani.''
20
Ema Israyeli ahamba asuka eSuccoth ase ahlala e Etham eceleni kwelihlane.
21
Simakadze wahamba embikwabo ngensika yelifu kubahola endleleni. Ebusuku abehamba ngensika yemlilo kubanika kukhanya. Ngalenandlela bebakhona kuhamba emini nasebusuku.
22
Simakadze akayitsatsanga kibo lensika yelifu yasemini noma lensika yasebusuku yemlilo.
