< Exodus 34 >

1 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Hewe thee two Tables of stone, like vnto the first, and I will write vpon the Tables the wordes that were in the first Tables, which thou brakest in pieces.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zibazele izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezakuqala; ngibe sengibhala phezu kwezibhebhe amazwi ayesezibhebheni zakuqala owaziphahlazayo.
2 And be ready in ye morning, that thou mayest come vp earely vnto the mount of Sinai, and waite there for me in the top of the mount.
Ubusulungile ekuseni, wenyukele entabeni yeSinayi ekuseni, ume phambi kwami lapho engqongeni yentaba.
3 But let no man come vp with thee, neither let any man be seene throughout all the mount, neyther let the sheepe nor cattell feede before this mount.
Njalo kungenyukeli muntu kanye lawe, futhi kungabonakali lamuntu entabeni yonke; njalo izimvu lezinkomo zingadli phambi kwaleyontaba.
4 Then Moses hewed two Tables of stone like vnto the first, and rose vp earely in the morning, and went vp vnto the mount of Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and tooke in his hande two Tables of stone.
Wasebaza izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezakuqala; uMozisi wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wenyukela entabeni yeSinayi, njengoba iNkosi imlayile, wathatha esandleni sakhe izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe.
5 And the Lord descended in the cloude, and stoode with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
INkosi yasisehla eyezini, yema laye lapho, yamemeza ibizo leNkosi.
6 So the Lord passed before his face, and cried, The Lord, the Lord, strong, mercifull, and gracious, slowe to anger, and abundant in goodnesse and trueth,
INkosi yasisedlula phambi kwakhe, yamemeza yathi: INkosi, INkosi, uNkulunkulu, elesihawu elomusa, ephuza ukuthukuthela, levame ububele lobuqotho,
7 Reseruing mercy for thousands, forgiuing iniquitie, and transgression and sinne, and not making the wicked innocent, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon ye children, and vpon childrens children, vnto the third and fourth generation.
egcinela abayizinkulungwane umusa, ethethelela ububi lesiphambeko lesono, engayikuyekela lokuyekela olecala, ephindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana laphezu kwabantwana babantwana kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu lesesine.
8 Then Moses made haste and bowed him selfe to the earth, and worshipped,
UMozisi wasephangisa, wakhothamela emhlabathini, wakhonza.
9 And sayde, O Lord, I pray thee, If I haue founde grace in thy sight, that the Lord woulde nowe goe with vs (for it is a stiffe necked people) and pardon our iniquitie and our sinne, and take vs for thine inheritance.
Wathi: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, Nkosi, akuthi iNkosi ihambe phakathi kwethu, ngoba yisizwe esintamo lukhuni, uthethelele ububi bethu lesono sethu, usithathe sibe yilifa lakho.
10 And he answered, Behold, I will make a couenant before all thy people, and will do marueiles, such as haue not bene done in all the worlde, neyther in all nations: and all the people among whom thou art, shall see the worke of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Yasisithi: Khangela, ngenza isivumelwano; phambi kwabantu bonke ngizakwenza izimangaliso ezingazange zidalwe emhlabeni wonke laphakathi kwezizwe zonke; labo bonke abantu ophakathi kwabo bazabona umsebenzi weNkosi, ngoba kuyesabeka engizakwenza lawe.
11 Keepe diligently that which I commande thee this day: Beholde, I will cast out before thee the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites.
Zigcinele lokho engikulaya khona lamuhla; khangela ngizaxotsha phambi kwakho amaAmori lamaKhanani lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaHivi lamaJebusi.
12 Take heede to thy selfe, that thou make no compact with ye inhabitantes of the land whither thou goest, least they be the cause of ruine among you:
Ziqaphelisele ukuthi ungenzi isivumelwano labakhileyo elizweni oya kulo, hlezi kube ngumjibila phakathi kwakho.
13 But yee shall ouerthrowe their altars, and breake their images in pieces, and cut downe their groues,
Kodwa amalathi abo lizawadiliza, lensika zabo eziyizithombe lizaziphahlaza, lezixuku zabo lizazigamula;
14 (For thou shalt bow downe to none other god, because the Lord, whose Name is Ielous, is a ielous God)
ngoba kawuyikukhonza omunye unkulunkulu; ngoba iNkosi, ebizo layo linguBukhwele, inguNkulunkulu olobukhwele.
15 Lest thou make a compact with the inhabitantes of the lande, and when they goe a whoring after their gods, and doe sacrifice vnto their gods, some man call thee, and thou eate of his sacrifice:
Hlezi wenze isivumelwano labakhileyo elizweni, nxa bephinga ngokulandela onkulunkulu babo, behlabele onkulunkulu babo, lomunye akunxuse, njalo udle okomhlatshelo wakhe;
16 And least thou take of their daughters vnto thy sonnes, and their daughters goe a whoring after their gods, and make thy sonnes goe a whoring after their gods.
uwathathele amadodana akho kumadodakazi abo; nxa amadodakazi abo ephinga ngokulandela onkulunkulu bawo, enze lamadodana akho ukuthi aphinge ngokulandela onkulunkulu bawo.
17 Thou shalt make thee no gods of metall.
Ungazenzeli onkulunkulu ababunjwe ngokuncibilikisa.
18 The feast of vnleauened bread shalt thou keepe: seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleauened bread, as I commanded thee, in ye time of the moneth of Abib: for in the moneth of Abib thou camest out of Egypt.
Umkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo uwugcine; insuku eziyisikhombisa udle isinkwa esingelamvubelo njengokukulaya kwami, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo senyanga kaAbhibhi, ngoba ngenyanga kaAbhibhi waphuma eGibhithe.
19 Euery male, that first openeth the wombe, shalbe mine: also all the first borne of thy flocke shalbe rekoned mine, both of beeues and sheepe.
Konke okuvula isizalo kungokwami, lalo lonke izibulo eliduna elezifuyo, inkomo kumbe imvu.
20 But ye first of ye asse thou shalt bie out with a lambe: and if thou redeeme him not, then thou shalt breake his necke: all the first borne of thy sonnes shalt thou redeeme, and none shall appeare before me emptie.
Kodwa izibulo likababhemi ulihlenge ngezinyane; uba-ke ungalihlengi ulephule intamo. Lonke izibulo lamadodana akho uzalihlenga; njalo kungabonakali muntu phambi kwami engaphethe lutho.
21 Six dayes shalt thou worke, and in the seuenth day thou shalt rest: both in earing time, and in the haruest thou shalt rest.
Uzasebenza insuku eziyisithupha, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa uphumule, ngesikhathi sokulima lekuvuneni uzaphumula.
22 Thou shalt also obserue the feast of weekes in the time of ye first fruits of wheate haruest, and the feast of gathering fruites in the ende of the yere.
Uzagcina umkhosi wamaviki, izithelo zokuqala zesivuno sengqoloyi, lomkhosi wokubuthelela ekuthwaseni komnyaka.
23 Thrise in a yere shall all your men children appeare before the Lord Iehouah God of Israel.
Kathathu ngomnyaka wonke owesilisa uzabonakala phambi kweNkosi uJehova, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
24 For I wil cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall desire thy land, whe thou shalt come vp to appeare before the Lord thy God thrise in the yeere.
Ngoba ngizaxotsha izizwe phambi kwakho, ngiqhelise imingcele yakho; njalo kakuyikuba lamuntu ofisa ilizwe lakho nxa usenyuka ukuyabonakala phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, kathathu ngomnyaka.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauen, neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passeouer be left vnto the morning.
Unganikeli igazi lomhlatshelo wami kanye lokulemvubelo; futhi kakungasali kuze kuse umhlatshelo womkhosi wephasika.
26 The first ripe fruites of thy land thou shalt bring vnto the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.
Ikhethelo lezithelo zokuqala zensimu yakho ulilethe endlini yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho. Ungapheki izinyane echagweni lukanina.
27 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenour of these words I haue made a couenant with thee and with Israel.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zibhalele la amazwi, ngoba ngokutsho kwalamazwi ngenzile isivumelwano lawe loIsrayeli.
28 So hee was there with the Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, and did neither eat bread nor drinke water: and hee wrote in the Tables the wordes of the couenant, euen the tenne commandements.
Njalo wayelapho leNkosi insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane; kadlanga sinkwa kanathanga manzi. Yasibhala ezibhebheni amazwi esivumelwano, imilayo elitshumi.
29 So when Moses came downe from mount Sinai, the two Tables of the Testimonie were in Moses hande, as hee descended from the mount: (nowe Moses wist not that the skinne of his face shone bright, after that God had talked with him.
Kwasekusithi uMozisi esehla entabeni yeSinayi, lezibhebhe zombili zobufakazi zazisesandleni sikaMozisi esehla entabeni, uMozisi wayengazi ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bakhe sasikhazimula ekhuluma laye.
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel looked vpon Moses, and beholde, the skin of his face shone bright, and they were afraid to come neere him)
Kwathi uAroni labo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli bebona uMozisi, khangela-ke, isikhumba sobuso bakhe sakhazimula, basebesesaba ukusondela kuye.
31 But Moses called them: and Aaron and all the chiefe of the congregation returned vnto him: and Moses talked with them.
UMozisi wasebabiza; loAroni lazo zonke induna zenhlangano babuyela kuye; uMozisi wasekhuluma labo.
32 And afterwarde all the children of Israel came neere, and he charged them with al that the Lord had said vnto him in mount Sinai.
Njalo emva kwalokho basondela bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; wasebalaya konke iNkosi eyayikukhulume laye entabeni yeSinayi.
33 So Moses made an end of comuning with them, and had put a couering vpon his face.
Kwathi uMozisi eseqedile ukukhuluma labo, wafaka isimbombozo ebusweni bakhe.
34 But, when Moses came before the Lord to speake with him, he tooke off the couering vntill he came out: then he came out, and spake vnto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
Kodwa lapho uMozisi engena phambi kweNkosi ukukhuluma layo, wasisusa isimbombozo aze aphume; esephumile wakhuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli lokho akulayiweyo,
35 And the children of Israel sawe the face of Moses, howe the skin of Moses face shone bright: therefore Moses put the couering vpon his face, vntill he went to speake with God.
labantwana bakoIsrayeli babona ubuso bukaMozisi, ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bukaMozisi sakhazimula. UMozisi wabuyisela isimbombozo ebusweni bakhe, aze angene ukuyakhuluma laye.
