Eksodo 6
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tsopano udzaona zimene ndimuchite Farao: Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzalola anthu anga kuti atuluke. Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzawatulutsa mʼdziko lake.”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khathesi uzabona engizakwenza kuFaro; ngoba ngesandla esilamandla uzabayekela bahambe, langesandla esilamandla uzabaxotsha elizweni lakhe.
2 Mulungu anatinso kwa Mose, “Ine ndine Yehova.
UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuMozisi wathi kuye: NgiyiNkosi;
3 Ndinaonekera kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo monga Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, koma sindinawadziwitse dzina langa kuti ndine Yehova.
njalo ngabonakala kuAbrahama, kuIsaka, lakuJakobe njengoNkulunkulu uSomandla; kodwa ngebizo lami lokuthi uJehova ngangingaziwa kubo.
4 Ndinakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwo kuwalonjeza kuti ndidzawapatsa dziko la Kanaani kumene anakhalako kale ngati alendo.
Njalo lami ngamisa isivumelwano sami labo ukubapha ilizwe leKhanani, ilizwe lobuhambuma babo, ababehlala kulo njengabezizwe.
5 Ndamvanso kubuwula kwa Aisraeli, amene Aigupto awayesa akapolo ndipo ndakumbukira pangano langa.”
Futhi lami ngizwile ukububula kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, amaGibhithe abagcine ebugqilini; njalo ngikhumbule isivumelwano sami.
6 “Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova, ndipo ndidzakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto. Ndidzakumasulani mu ukapolo, ndidzakuwombolani ndi dzanja langa lotambasuka ndi kuchita ntchito zachiweruzo.
Ngakho-ke tshono kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: NgiyiNkosi; njalo ngizalikhupha lisuke ngaphansi kwemithwalo yamaGibhithe; ngilikhulule ebugqilini bawo, ngilihlenge ngengalo eyeluliweyo langezigwebo ezinkulu.
7 Ndidzakutengani kukhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto.
Njalo ngizazithathela lina libe yisizwe, ngizakuba kini nguNkulunkulu; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, olikhupha lisuke ngaphansi kwemithwalo yamaGibhithe;
8 Ndipo ndidzakufikitsani ku dziko limene ndinalumbira kuti ndidzalipereka kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo. Ndidzakupatsani dziko limenelo kuti likhale lanu. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
njalo ngizalingenisa elizweni engaphakamisa isandla sami ngalo ukulinika uAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe, ngilinike lona libe yilifa; mina, iNkosi.
9 Mose anawafotokozera Aisraeli zimenezi, koma iwo sanamumvere chifukwa cha kukhumudwa ndi goli lankhanza.
UMozisi wasekhuluma ngokunjalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli; kodwa kabamlalelanga uMozisi ngenxa yokukhathazeka komoya langenxa yobugqili obunzima.
10 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
11 “Pita ukawuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti awalole Aisraeli atuluke mʼdziko lake.”
Ngena ukhulume kuFaro, inkosi yeGibhithe, ukuthi ayekele abantwana bakoIsrayeli basuke elizweni lakhe.
12 Koma Mose ananena kwa Yehova kuti, “Ngati Aisraeli sanandimvere, Farao akandimvera chifukwa chiyani, pajatu sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
Kodwa uMozisi wakhuluma phambi kweNkosi esithi: Khangela, abantwana bakoIsrayeli kabangilalelanga; pho-ke uFaro angangizwa njani, engingowendebe ezingasokanga?
13 Ndipo Yehova analamula Mose ndi Aaroni kuti awuze Aisraeli ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti Aisraeli ayenera kutuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni yabapha umlayo ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli langoFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ukukhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe.

26 Aaroni ndi Mose ndi aja amene Yehova anawawuza kuti, “Tulutsani Aisraeli mu Igupto mʼmagulu awo.”
Lo nguAroni loMozisi iNkosi eyathi kubo: Khuphani abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe ngamabutho abo.
27 Mose ndi Aaroni ndiwo amene anayankhula ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti atulutse Aisraeli mu Igupto.
Yibo labo ababekhuluma kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ukukhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe; lo nguMozisi loAroni.
28 Tsopano pamene Yehova anayankhula kwa Mose mu Igupto,
Kwasekusithi mhla iNkosi ikhuluma kuMozisi elizweni leGibhithe
29 anati, “Ine ndine Yehova. Umuwuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto zonse zimene Ine ndikuwuze iwe.”
iNkosi yakhuluma kuMozisi isithi: Mina ngiyiNkosi; khuluma kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe konke engikukhuluma kuwe.
30 Koma Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Farao akandimvera bwanji, pakuti ine sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
UMozisi wasesithi phambi kweNkosi: Khangela, ngingowendebe ezingasokanga; ngakho uFaro angangizwa njani?
