Eksodusi 15:1-27
15 Ngaleso sikhatsi Mosi nema-Israyeli bahlabelela Jehova+ nayi ingoma:
“Angihlabelele Jehova, ngobe uphakeme kakhulu.+
Lihhashi nemgibeli walo ukujike elwandle.+
2 Jehova ungemandla ami, ngobe uyinsindziso yami.+
Lona nguNkulunkulu wami, ngitamdvumisa;+ unguNkulunkulu wababe,+ ngako ngitamphakamisa.+
3 Jehova ulichawe lelinemandla.+ NguJehova libito lakhe.+
4 Tinkalishi taFaro nelibutfo lakhe ukujike elwandle,+Nemasotja akhe lanemandla acwile eLwandle Lolubovu.+
5 Bambonywa ngemanti aselwandle, bacwila bashona phansi njengelitje.+
6 Awu Jehova, sandla sakho sangesekudla sinemandla lamakhulu;+Awu Jehova, sandla sakho sangesekudla singasifihlita sitsa.
7 Ngebukhulu bakho lobubabatekako ungawisa labo labamelene nawe;+Ukhipha intfukutselo yakho, ibashise shengatsi tinhlanga.
8 Waphefumula ngemakhala akho, emanti abutsana;Lamanti ema njengeludvonga;Futsi asha ekhatsi nekhatsi nelwandle.
9 Sitsa satsi: ‘Ngitawubacosha, ngibakhandze!
Ngitawutehlukanisela tintfo lengititsetse kubo ngize ngenetiseke!
Ngitawukhipha inkemba yami, ngibabulale ngesandla sami!’+
10 Waphefumula, lwandle lwabambonya;+Bacwila njengensimbi lesindzako emantini lamanyenti.
11 Awu Jehova, ukhona yini emkhatsini wabonkulunkulu lonjengawe?+
Ngubani lonjengawe, wena lotiveta ungcwele ngendlela lebabatekako?+
Wena lokufanele wesatjwe uphindze udvunyiswe ngetingoma, wena lowenta tintfo letimangalisako.+
12 Welula sandla sakho sangesekudla, umhlaba wabagwinya.+
13 Bantfu bakho lowabahlenga ubahole ngelutsandvo lwakho lolucotfo;+Ngemandla akho utawubaholela endzaweni yakho lengcwele.
14 Bantfu kufanele beve;+ futsi batawesaba;Kwesaba* kutawufikela nemaFilisti.
15 Ngaleso sikhatsi baholi* baka-Edomu batawesaba kakhulu,Nebabusi labanemandla bakaMowabi batawuchachatela.+
Bonkhe bantfu baseKhenani batawuphelelwa litsemba.+
16 Batawufikelwa kwesaba nekutfutfumela.+
Ngenca yemandla akho batawuba njengelitje, beme banganyakatiKuze kube ngulapho bantfu bakho sebendlulile Jehova,Baze bendlule+ bantfu bakho lowabadala.+
17 Utawubaletsa ubabeke entsabeni yakho,+Endzaweni yakho lowatilungiselela kutsi utawuhlala kuyo, Jehova,Indzawo yakho lengcwele Jehova, lowayenta ngetandla takho.
18 Jehova utawuba yinkhosi, abuse phakadze naphakadze.+
19 Ngesikhatsi emahhashi aFaro netinkalishi takhe temphi nemasotja akhe lagibele emahhashi angena elwandle,+Jehova wabuyisa lamanti abambonya,+Kodvwa bantfu baka-Israyeli bahamba emhlabatsini lowomile ekhatsi elwandle.”+
20 Ngako Miriyamu, dzadzewabo Aroni lobekangumphrofethikati, watsatsa ithamborini* futsi nabo bonkhe labanye bafati batsatsa emathamborini bamlandzela, badansa.
21 Miriyamu wavumela lamadvodza, wahlabela watsi:
“Hlabelelani Jehova, ngobe uphakeme kakhulu.+
Lihhashi nemgibeli walo ukujike elwandle.”+
22 Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, Mosi wesuka nema-Israyeli eLwandle Lolubovu, baya ehlane laseShuri futsi bahamba emalanga lamatsatfu kulelihlane, kodvwa abawatfolanga emanti.
23 Befika eMara*+ kepha behluleka kunatsa emanti akhona ngobe abebaba. Kungako lendzawo Mosi ayibita ngekutsi yiMara.
24 Ngako labantfu bacala kububula ngaMosi,+ batsi: “Sitawunatsani?”
25 Mosi wakhala kuJehova,+ ngako Jehova wamkhombisa lesinye sihlahla. Ngesikhatsi Mosi ajika lesihlahla kulamanti, ashintja aba mnandzi.
Kuleyo ndzawo, Nkulunkulu wawanika umtsetfo nesisekelo sekwehlulela futsi wawavivinya.+
26 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Nanitawulilalelisisa livi laJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, nente lokulungile emehlweni akhe, nilalele imitsetfo yakhe niphindze nigcine yonkhe imiyalo yakhe,+ angeke nginiletsele letifo lengatiletsela bantfu baseGibhithe,+ ngobe mine Jehova ngiyaniphilisa.”+
27 Ngemuva kwaloko befika e-Elimu, lapho bekunemitfombo yemanti lengu-12 netihlahla telusundvu letingu-70. Ngako bemisa emathende kuleyo ndzawo, dvutane nalamanti.
