Mose 5 9
1 “O! Israel, see. Èle Yɔdan tɔsisi la tso ge egbe, eye nàde asi dukɔ siwo le tɔsisi la godo la nyanya me. Dukɔ mawo tri akɔ, eye wosẽ wu wò! Woɖo gli kɔkɔwo ƒo xlã woƒe duwo.
“Zwana, We Israyeli. Khathesi ususiyachapha iJodani ukuze ungene uyethathela izizwe ezinkulu ezilamandla kulawe, ezilamadolobho amakhulu alemiduli etshaya emkhathini.
2 Anak ƒe viwo, ame siwo nye ame dzɔatsuwo, eye dukɔ aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wo nu o la le wo dome.
Abantu bakhona balamandla njalo bade, ngama-Anakhi. Liyakwazi konke ngabo njalo selike layizwa indumela yabo yokuthi: ‘Ngubani ongamelana lama-Anakhi?’
3 Ke Yehowa, wò Mawu la anɔ ŋgɔ na wò abe dzo si fiaa nu ene be yeatsrɔ̃ wo ale be nàte ŋu aɖu wo dzi kaba, eye nànya wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.
Kodwa qinisekani lamuhla ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu nguye ozachapha phambi kwenu njengomlilo otshisa ubhuqe. UThixo uzababhubhisa; uzabanyathela phambi kwenu. Lizabaxotsha libabhubhise masinyane, njengokuthembisa kukaThixo.
4 “Ne Yehowa miaƒe Mawu wɔ esia na wò la, mègagblɔ na ɖokuiwò be, ‘Yehowae ve nunye, elabena menye ame dzɔdzɔe o.’ Mele nenema o. Dukɔ kemɛwo ƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi tae Yehowa le esia wɔ ge ɖo.
Ngemva kokuba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu esebanqobile phambi kwenu, lingabozikhohlisa lisithi, ‘UThixo ungilethe lapha ukuba ngilithathe libe ngelami lelilizwe ngenxa yokulunga kwami.’ Akunjalo, kungenxa yezono zalezizizwe okuzakwenza ukuthi uThixo azisuse phambi kwakho.
5 Menye esi mienye ame nyui dzɔdzɔewo tae Yehowa anya wo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ ɖo o! Megale egblɔm na mi be, dukɔ kemɛwo ƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi tae hekpe ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe ŋugbe si wòdo na mia fofowo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ŋu ta koe.
Akusikho ukuthi kungenxa yokulunga kwakho loba ukuziphatha ngobuntu bakho okuzakwenza ungene kulelolizwe ulithathe; kodwa kungenxa yezono zalezozizwe, uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho uzazixotsha phambi kwakho lezizizwe ukuze kugcwaliseke isifungo uThixo wakho asenza kuboyihlo, u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka kanye loJakhobe.
6 Megale egblɔm ake be, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la mele anyigba nyui sia tsɔm na mi le miaƒe nyonyo ta o, elabena mienyo o. Mienye dukɔ vɔ̃ɖi kple kɔlialiatɔwo.”
Zwisisa manje, ukuthi akungenxa yokulunga kwakho ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ukunika lelilizwe ukuba libe ngelakho, ngoba lina simo senu lingontamozilukhuni.”
7 Migaŋlɔ be o, ke boŋ miɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la enuenu le gbedzi, tso gbe si gbe miedzo le Egipte va se ɖe fifia dzi. Miedze aglã ɖe eŋu le ɣeyiɣi siawo katã me.
“Khumbulani lokhu njalo lingakhohlwa ukuthi lamthukuthelisa njani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu enkangala waze wazonda. Kusukela ngosuku elasuka ngalo eGibhithe lize lizofika lapha, belilokhu lihlamukela uThixo.
8 Mieɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe nɛ le Horeb to la gbɔ dzi oa? Enɔ klalo be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.
EHorebhi lavusa ulaka lukaThixo ngalokho wazonda okokuthi wayezalibhubhisa.
9 Menɔ toa dzi ɣe ma ɣi, eye menɔ nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kpli mi, si nye kpe siwo dzi wòŋlɔ seawo ɖo la xɔm. Menɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene. Nyemeɖu naneke le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me o. Nyemeno tsi gɔ̃ hã o.
Kwathi ekukhweleni kwami intaba ngisiyakwamukela izibhebhedu zamatshe, izibhebhedu zesivumelwano uThixo asenza lani, ngahlala entabeni okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane; angidlanga sinkwa njalo angizange nginathe amanzi.
10 Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eve siwo dzi Mawu tsɔ eƒe asibidɛ ŋlɔ nu ɖo la nam. Se siwo katã Yehowa de na mí le toa dzi to dzo me le miaƒe takpegbe la le wo dzi.
UThixo wanginika izibhebhedu zamatshe ezimbili okwakulotshwe kuzo ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu. Kulezizibhebhedu kwakulotshwe yonke imilayo eyayethulwe nguThixo kini phezu kwentaba ephakathi komlilo, ngosuku lombuthano.
11 Le ŋkeke blaeneawo kple zã blaeneawo ƒe nuwuwu la, Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eveawo, nubabla ƒe kpe kpakpawo nam.
Ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane njalo lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, uThixo wangipha izibhebhedu zamatshe ezimbili, izibhebhedu zesivumelwano.
12 Egblɔ nam be maɖi yi anyigba kaba, elabena dukɔ si mekplɔ tso Egipte la gblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui; eɖe asi le Mawu ƒe seawo ŋu kaba, eye wòlolõ ga hetsɔ wɔ legbae.
UThixo wangitshela wathi, ‘Suka lapha wehle ngokuphangisa, ngoba abantu bakho owabakhupha eGibhithe sebexhwalile. Sebephambukile masinyane kulokho engangibalaye ngakho njalo sebezibumbele isithombe.’
13 Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mekpɔe be dukɔ sia nye ame kɔlialiatɔwo sɔŋ.
UThixo wathi kimi, ‘Sengibabonile lababantu, njalo bangontamozilukhuni ngeqiniso!
14 Ɖe asi le ŋunye matsrɔ̃ wo, matutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa le dziƒoa te, eye mawɔ wò boŋ wò dzidzimeviwo woazu dukɔ si akpɔ ŋusẽ, eye wòalolo wu Israel.”
Ngiyekela ukuze ngibabhubhise njalo ngesule amabizo abo ngaphansi kwamazulu. Njalo ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esilamandla futhi esikhulu kulesabo.’
15 Metrɔ gbɔ tso to bibi la dzi le esime melé kpe eve siwo dzi Mawu ŋlɔ eƒe seawo ɖo la ɖe asi.
Ngasengiphenduka ngehla entabeni yona ivutha ilangabi lomlilo. Kanti njalo izibhebhedu zombili zesivumelwano zazisezandleni zami.
16 Le toa te la, mekpɔ nyivi si miewɔ le miaƒe nu vɔ̃ si miewɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋu me. Miegbugbɔ le Yehowa yome kaba ŋutɔ!
Ngathi ngiyakhangela ngabona ukuthi lonile phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu; laselizibumbele isithombe esibunjwe ngesimo sethole. Laseliphambukile masinyane lasuka endleleni uThixo ayelilaye ngayo.
17 Esia ta metsɔ kpe eveawo do ɖe dzi, eye mexlã wo ɖe anyi sesĩe! Megbã wo le mia ŋkume!
Ngalokho ngathatha izibhebhedu zombili ezazisezandleni zami ngazisakazela phansi, zaphahlazeka zaba yizicucu phambi kwenu.
18 Le esia megbe la, meganɔ Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene numaɖumaɖu, tsimanomano, elabena miewɔ nu si Yehowa lé fui wu nu sia nu, eye miena wòdo dɔmedzoe vevie ŋutɔ.
Kanti-ke njalo ngazilahla ngawa phambi kukaThixo okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane njalo lobusuku obungamatshumi amane; angidlanga sinkwa njalo angizange nginathe amanzi, ngenxa yezono zonke elaselizidalile, lisenza okubi emehlweni kaThixo njalo lamthukuthelisa waze wazonda.
19 Mevɔ̃ ɖe mia nu ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena Yehowa ɖo vevie be yeatsrɔ̃ mi. Ke egaɖo tom ɣe ma ɣi hã.
Ngesaba intukuthelo lolaka lukaThixo, ngoba wayezonde kangangokuba wayengalibhubhisa. Kodwa-ke futhi uThixo wangilalela.
20 Aron ɖo xaxa gã aɖe me, elabena Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋu ŋutɔ. Ke medo gbe ɖa, eye Yehowa kpɔ nublanui nɛ.
UThixo wamthukuthelela u-Aroni kangangokuba wayengamtshabalalisa, kodwa-ke ngalesosikhathi laye u-Aroni ngamkhulekela.
21 Metsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ si nye nyivi si miewɔ la, medee dzo me, tui memie wòzu ʋuʋudedi, eye metsɔ ʋuʋudedi la kɔ ɖe tɔʋu si dzɔ tso toa dzi la me.
Ngabuye ngathatha into yokona kwenu, ithole leli elalilibumbile, ngalitshisa emlilweni. Ngasengilichoboza njalo ngalichola laba yimpuphu ecoleke njengothuli ngaluhaza esifuleni esigeleza entabeni.
22 Miegado dɔmedzoe na Yehowa le Tabera, emegbe le Masa, eyome le Kibrot Hatava.
Laphinda njalo lamthukuthelisa uThixo eThabhera, laseMasa kanye laseKhibhrothi Hathava.
23 Le Kades Barnea la, esi Yehowa gblɔ na mi be miage ɖe anyigba si wòtsɔ na mi dzi la, miedze aglã ɖe eŋuti, eye miexɔe se be akpe ɖe mia ŋu o. Miegbe toɖoɖoe.
Kanti uThixo wathi elisusa eKhadeshi Bhaneya, wathi, ‘Qhubekani njalo liyethatha ilizwe engilinike lona.’ Kodwa lahlamukela umlayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Alizange limethembe loba ukumlalela.
24 Ɛ̃, mienɔ aglã dzem ɖe Yehowa ŋu tso gbe si gbe ke menya mi,
Belivele limhlamukela uThixo kusukela ngiqalisa ukulazi.
25 eya ta metsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene mawo me esime Yehowa di be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.
Ngazilahla ngawa phambi kukaThixo okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane kanye lobusuku obungamatshumi amane ngoba uThixo wayethe uzalibhubhisa.
26 “Medo gbe ɖa na Yehowa be, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, mègatsrɔ̃ wò ŋutɔ wò amewo o. Wò ŋutɔ wò domenyinu si nèɖe kple wò ŋusẽ triakɔ, eye nèɖe wo tso Egipte kple asi sesẽ.
Ngakhuleka njalo kuThixo ngathi, ‘Oh! Thixo Wobukhosi, ungabhubhisi abantu bakho, ilifa lakho owalihlenga ngamandla akho amakhulu wabakhipha eGibhithe ngesandla sakho esilamandla.
27 Ɖo ŋku wò dɔlawo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob dzi. Mègaɖo ŋku ame siawo ƒe kɔlialia kple woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi o.
Khumbula izinceku zakho u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka kanye loJakhobe. Xola ebuqholweni balababantu, ebubini lasezonweni zabo.
28 Ne menye nenema o la, dukɔ si me nèkplɔ mí do go tso la agblɔ be, ‘Esi Yehowa mete ŋu kplɔ wo yi anyigba si ƒe ŋugbe wòdo na wo dzi o, eye esi wòlé fu wo ta la, ekplɔ wo do goe be yeawu wo le gbedzi.’
Nxa kungenjalo ilizwe owasisusa kilo lizakuthi, “Ngoba uThixo wehluleka ukubangenisa elizweni ayebathembise lona, njalo langenxa yokuthi wayebazonda, wabakhupha ukuze bayefela enkangala.”
29 Wò amewo kple wò domenyilawo wonye, ame siwo nètsɔ wò ŋusẽ triakɔ kple abɔ sesẽ la kplɔ tso Egipte.”
Kodwa ngabantu bakho, abayilifa lakho owalikhupha ngamandla akho amakhulu langengalo yakho eyeluliweyo.’”
