Eksodo 33
1 Ndipo Yehova anati, “Chokani pa malo ano, iwe ndi anthu amene unawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto. Pitani ku dziko limene ine ndinalonjeza ndi lumbiro kwa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo kuti, ‘Ine ndidzalipereka kwa zidzukulu zanu.’
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Hamba wenyuke lapha wena labantu owabenyusa elizweni leGibhithe, uye elizweni engalifungela uAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe ngisithi: Inzalo yakho ngizayinika lona.
2 Ndipo ndidzatumiza mngelo patsogolo panu kuthamangitsa Akanaani, Aamori, Ahiti, Aperezi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi.
Njalo ngizathuma ingilosi phambi kwakho, ngixotshe amaKhanani, amaAmori, lamaHethi, lamaPerizi, amaHivi, lamaJebusi.
3 Pitani ku dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi. Koma ine sindidzapita nanu, chifukwa anthu inu ndinu nkhutukumve ndipo nditha kukuwonongani mʼnjiramo.”
Uye elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju; ngoba kangiyikwenyuka phakathi kwakho, ngoba uyisizwe esintamo lukhuni, hlezi ngikuqede endleleni.
4 Anthu atamva mawu owopsawa, anayamba kulira ndipo palibe anavala zodzikometsera.
Kwathi abantu sebezwile lelilizwi elibi, balila; njalo kakulamuntu owafaka izigqizo zakhe;
5 Pakuti Yehova anali atanena kwa Mose kuti, “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Inu ndinu nkhutukumve.’ Ngati ine ndipita ndi inu kwa kanthawi, nditha kukuwonongani. Tsopano vulani zodzikometsera zanu ndipo ine ndidzaganiza choti ndichite nanu.”
ngoba iNkosi yayithe kuMozisi: Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Lingabantu abantamo zilukhuni; ngisenyuka ngiphakathi kwakho ngokucwayiza kwelihlo, ngizakuqeda. Ngakho-ke khupha izigqizo zakho kuwe ukuze ngazi engizakwenza kuwe.
6 Kotero Aisraeli anavula zodzikometsera zawo pa phiri la Horebu.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebezihlubula izigqizo zabo kusukela entabeni yeHorebe.
7 Tsono Mose ankatenga tenti ndi kukayimanga kunja kwa msasa chapatalipo, ndipo ankayitcha “tenti ya msonkhano.” Aliyense wofuna kukafunsa kanthu kwa Yehova amapita ku tenti ya msonkhano kunja kwa msasa.
UMozisi wasethatha ithente walimisa ngaphandle kwenkamba, khatshana lenkamba; walibiza ngokuthi lithente lenhlangano. Kwasekusithi wonke odinga iNkosi waphuma waya ethenteni lenhlangano elalingaphandle kwenkamba.
8 Ndipo nthawi ina iliyonse imene Mose amapita ku tenti anthu onse amanyamuka ndi kuyimirira pa makomo amatenti awo, kumuyangʼana Mose mpaka atalowa mu tentimo.
Kwakusithi lapho uMozisi ephuma ukuya ethenteni, bonke abantu basukume, beme kube ngulowo lalowo emnyango wethente lakhe; bakhangele emva kukaMozisi aze angene ethenteni;
9 Mose akamalowa mu tenti, chipilala cha mtambo chimatsika ndi kukhala pa khomo pamene Yehova amayankhula ndi Mose.
njalo kwakusithi lapho uMozisi esengene ethenteni, insika yeyezi yehle, ime emnyango wethente; ibisikhuluma loMozisi.
10 Nthawi zonse anthu akaona chipilala cha mtambo chitayima pa khomo la tentiyo amayimirira ndi kupembedza, aliyense ali pa khomo la tenti yake.
Lapho bonke abantu beyibona insika yeyezi imi emnyango wethente, bonke abantu basukume bakhonze, kube ngulowo lalowo emnyango wethente lakhe.
11 Yehova amayankhula ndi Mose maso ndi maso ngati mmene munthu amayankhulira ndi bwenzi lake. Kenaka Mose amabwerera ku msasa koma womuthandiza wake, Yoswa, mwana wa Nuni samachoka pa tentiyo.
INkosi yakhuluma-ke kuMozisi ubuso ngobuso, njengomuntu ekhuluma lomngane wakhe. Wasebuyela enkambeni, kodwa uJoshuwa inceku yakhe, indodana kaNuni, ijaha, kasukanga phakathi kwethente.
12 Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Inu mwakhala mukundiwuza kuti, ‘Tsogolera anthu awa,’ koma simunandiwuze amene mudzamutuma kuti apite pamodzi nane. Inu mwanena kuti, ‘Ndikukudziwa bwino kwambiri ndipo wapeza chisomo pamaso panga.’
UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Khangela, uthi kimi: Yenyusa lababantu; kodwa wena kawungazisanga ozamthuma lami. Kanti wena uthe: Ngiyakwazi ngebizo, futhi uthole umusa emehlweni ami.
13 Ngati mwakondwera nane ndiphunzitseni njira zanu kuti ndikudziweni ndi kupitiriza kupeza chisomo pamaso panu. Kumbukirani kuti mtundu uwu ndi anthu anu.”
Ngakho-ke ngicela, uba ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ake ungazise indlela yakho, ukuze ngikwazi, ukuze ngithole umusa emehlweni akho; ukhumbule futhi ukuthi lesisizwe singabantu bakho.
14 Yehova anayankha kuti, “Ine ndemwe ndidzapita pamodzi ndi iwe, ndipo ndidzakupatsa mpumulo.”
Wasesithi: Ubukhona bami buzahamba lawe, ngikuphumuze.
15 Kenaka Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Ngati inu simupita nafe, musatitumize kuti tipite, kutichotsa pano.
Wasesithi kuye: Uba ubukhona bakho bungahambi lami, ungasenyusi lapha.
16 Kodi wina adzadziwa bwanji kuti inu mwandikomera mtima pamodzi ndi anthu awa ngati simupita nafe? Kodi nʼchiyani chomwe chidzatisiyanitse pakati pa anthu onse amene ali pa dziko lapansi?”
Ngoba kuzakwaziwa-ke ngani ukuthi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, mina labantu bakho? Kakusikho yini ekuhambeni kwakho lathi? Ngakho sizakwehlukaniswa, mina labantu bakho, kubo bonke abantu abasebusweni bomhlaba.
17 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndidzachita zimene iwe wandipempha chifukwa Ine ndikukondwera nawe, ndikukudziwa bwino lomwe.”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Lale into oyitshoyo ngizayenza, ngoba uthole umusa emehlweni ami, njalo ngiyakwazi ngebizo.
18 Kenaka Mose anati, “Tsopano ndionetseni ulemerero wanu.”
Wasesithi: Ake ungitshengise inkazimulo yakho.
19 Ndipo Yehova anati, “Ine ndidzakuonetsa ulemerero wanga wonse ndipo ndidzatchula dzina langa lakuti Yehova pamaso pako. Ine ndidzachitira chifundo amene ndikufuna kumuchitira chifundo ndipo ndidzakomera mtima amene ndikufuna kumukomera mtima.”
Yasisithi: Mina ngizadlulisa bonke ubuhle bami phambi kwakho, ngimemezele ibizo leNkosi phambi kwakho. Ngizahawukela lowo engizamhawukela, ngibe lomusa kulowo engizakuba lomusa kuye.
20 Iye anati, “Koma iwe sungaone nkhope yanga, pakuti palibe munthu amene amaona Ine nakhala ndi moyo.”
Yathi futhi: Ungebone ubuso bami; ngoba kakho umuntu ongangibona, aphile.
21 Ndipo Yehova anati, “Pali malo pafupi ndi ine pomwe ungathe kuyima pa thanthwe.
INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, kulendawo ngakimi lapho ozakuma khona edwaleni;
22 Pamene ulemerero wanga udutsa, ndidzakuyika mʼphanga la thanthwe ndi kukuphimba ndi dzanja langa mpaka nditadutsa.
kuzakuthi-ke lapho inkazimulo yami isedlula, ngizakufaka esikhexeni sedwala, ngikusibekele ngesandla sami ngize ngidlule;
23 Kenaka ine ndidzachotsa dzanja langa ndipo iwe udzaona msana wanga, koma nkhope yanga sidzaoneka.”
besengisusa isandla sami ubusubona ingemuva yami; kodwa ubuso bami kabuyikubonwa.
