Eksodus
40 Emva koko uYehova wathi kuMoses: 2 “Ngomhla wokuqala, ngenyanga yokuqala, uze umise intente engcwele, intente yokuhlangana.+ 3 Umele ufake kuyo ityeya yoBungqina+ wakugqiba uyisithe iTyeya ngekhethini.+ 4 Uze ungenise itafile,+ umise izinto zayo ngeendawo zazo, emva koko ungenise isiphatho sezibane+ uze ukhanyise izibane zaso.+ 5 Wakugqiba uze umise phambi kwetyeya yoBungqina isibingelelo segolide sesiqhumiso,+ uxhome umkhusane* kumnyango wentente engcwele.+
6 “Sona isibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo+ umele usibeke phambi komnyango wentente engcwele, intente yokuhlangana, 7 uze ubeke isitya phakathi kwentente yokuhlangana nesibingelelo, emva koko ugalele amanzi kuso.+ 8 Umele ugxumeke iyadi+ macala onke entente engcwele, uze uxhome umkhusane*+ wegeyithi yeyadi. 9 Emva koko uthathe ioli yokuthambisa+ uthambise intente engcwele nayo yonke into ekuyo,+ uyingcwalise nezinto zayo zonke, ukuze ibe yinto engcwele. 10 Uze uthambise nesibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo nezixhobo zaso zonke, usingcwalise ukuze sibe sesona sibingelelo singcwele.+ 11 Umele uthambise nesitya nesiseko saso, usingcwalise.
12 “Emva koko umele usondeze uAron noonyana bakhe ngakumnyango+ wentente yokuhlangana, uze ubahlambe ngamanzi, 13 unxibise uAron iimpahla ezingcwele,+ umthambise,+ umngcwalise, ukuze abe ngumbingeleli wam. 14 Uze usondeze noonyana bakhe, ubanxibise imiwunduzo.+ 15 Umele ubathambise njengotata wabo,+ ukuze babe ngababingeleli bam. Ukuthanjiswa kwabo kuza kubangela ububingeleli buhlale ibobabo ukutyhubela izizukulwana zabo.”+
16 UMoses wayenza yonke into awayeyiyalelwe nguYehova.+ Wenza kanye ngaloo ndlela.
17 Ngenyanga yokuqala, kunyaka wesibini, ngomhla wokuqala waloo nyanga, yamiswa intente engcwele.+ 18 Xa uMoses wayeyimisa, waqala wabeka phantsi iziseko zayo,+ wagxumeka iifreyimi,+ wafaka imiqadi,+ wamisa neentsika zayo. 19 Wasolula isigqubuthelo sentente+ phezu kwayo waza wayogquma ngaso,+ kanye ngendlela awayeyalelwe ngayo nguYehova.
20 Emva koko uMoses wathatha amacwecwe oBungqina+ wawafaka ngaphakathi kwiTyeya,+ wafaka neepali emacaleni ayo,+ waza wayivala ngesivalo.+ 21 Wayingenisa iTyeya ententeni engcwele, emva koko waxhoma ikhethini+ endaweni yayo, wayisitha ityeya yoBungqina,+ kanye njengokuba uYehova wayemyalele.
22 Wabeka itafile+ emantla entente yokuhlangana kodwa nganeno kwekhethini, 23 wafolisa izonka+ phezu kwayo phambi koYehova, kanye ngendlela awayeyalelwe ngayo nguYehova.
24 Wabeka isiphatho sezibane+ ententeni yokuhlangana phambi kwetafile, kwicala elingasemzantsi lentente engcwele. 25 Wakhanyisa izibane+ phambi koYehova, kanye ngendlela awayeyalelwe ngayo nguYehova.
26 Emva koko uMoses wabeka isibingelelo segolide+ ententeni yokuhlangana phambi kwekhethini, 27 ukuze aqhumise phezu+ kwaso ngesiqhumiso esiqholiweyo,+ kanye ngendlela awayeyalelwe ngayo nguYehova.
28 Akugqiba waxhoma umkhusane*+ womnyango wentente engcwele endaweni yawo.
29 UMoses wabeka isibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo+ ngakwindawo yokungena kwintente yokuhlangana, ukuze abingelele kuso umnikelo otshiswayo+ nomnikelo wokutya okuziinkozo, kanye ngendlela awayeyalelwe ngayo nguYehova.
30 Wabeka isitya phakathi kwentente yokuhlangana nesibingelelo, waza wagalela amanzi okuhlamba kuso.+ 31 UMoses, uAron noonyana bakhe bahlamba izandla zabo neenyawo zabo kuso. 32 Qho bengena ententeni yokuhlangana okanye besondela kwisibingelelo babehlamba,+ kanye ngendlela awayeyalelwe ngayo uMoses nguYehova.
33 Ekugqibeleni wabiyela+ intente engcwele nesibingelelo, wafaka umkhusane* kwigeyithi yaloo yadi.+
UMoses wawugqiba umsebenzi. 34 Ilifu layogquma intente yokuhlangana, lwaza nozuko lukaYehova lwaba kuyo yonke loo ntente ingcwele.+ 35 UMoses zange akwazi ukungena kwintente yokuhlangana, kuba ilifu lahlala phezu kwayo nozuko lukaYehova lwalukuyo yonke loo ntente ingcwele.+
36 Xa ilifu lisuka ententeni engcwele, amaSirayeli ayeyichitha inkampu, ngawo onke amaxesha okuhamba kwawo.+ 37 Kodwa ukuba ilifu alikenyuki, babengayichithi inkampu de kube ngumhla elinyuka ngawo.+ 38 Ngawo onke amaxesha amaSirayeli efuduka, ayebona ukuba emini ilifu likaYehova liba phezu kwentente engcwele, kodwa ebusuku ngumlilo oba phezu kwayo.+
