Okuva 33
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Vva mu kifo kino ogende, ggwe n’abantu be waggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, olage mu nsi gye nalayirira Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo, nga njogera nti, ‘Ndigiwa bazzukulu bammwe.’
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Suka kule indawo wena labantu owabakhupha elizweni laseGibhithe, uye elizweni engalithembisa u-Abhrahama lo-Isaka loJakhobe ngifunga ngisithi, ‘Ngizalinika inzalo yakho.’
2 Ndiweereza malayika abakulemberenga; era ndigobamu Abakanani, n’Abamoli, n’Abakiiti, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi n’Abayebusi.
Ngizathuma ingilosi ihambe phambi kwakho ixotshe amaKhenani, ama-Amori, amaHithi, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi.
3 Yambuka mu nsi ekulukutiramu amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki. Naye sijja kugenda nammwe; sirwa kubazikiririza mu kkubo, kubanga muli bantu ab’ensingo enkakanyavu.”
Yana elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju. Kodwa mina angiyikuhamba lani ngoba lingabantu abantamo zilukhuni, hlezi ngilibhubhise endleleni.”
4 Abantu bwe baawulira amawulire ago ag’ennaku, ne bakungubaga ne watabaawo ayambala eby’omu matu wadde eby’oku mikono ebyokwewoomya.
Kwathi lapho abantu sebezwe amazwi la adabukisayo baqalisa ukukhala, akwaze kwaba loyedwa owagqiza izigqizo zakhe.
5 Kubanga Mukama yali alagidde Musa nti, “Gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mulina omutima omukakanyavu, era singa ntambula nammwe okumala akaseera wadde katono katya, nzija kubazikiriza. Kale kaakano mweyambulemu ebyokwewoomya byammwe, ndyoke ndabe kye nnaakola.’”
Phela uThixo wayethe kuMosi, “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Lina lingabantu abantamo zilukhuni. Nxa ngingahamba lani loba okomzuzwana nje, ngingalibhubhisa. Khathesi khululani izigqizo zenu; ngizakwenza isinqumo ukuthi ngenzeni ngani.’”
6 Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri ne beeyambulamu eby’obugagga byabwe nga bali ku lusozi Kolebu.
Ngakho-ke abako-Israyeli bazikhipha izigqizo zabo entabeni yeHorebhi.
7 Kale, Musa yaddiranga eweema n’agisimba ebweru w’olusiisira, ewala ddala n’olusiisira; n’agiyita Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Ne buli eyeetaaganga Mukama, ng’agenda awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, eyali ebweru w’olusiisira.
UMosi wayejwayele ukuthatha ithente ayelimisa ngaphandle bucwadlana lezihonqo. Walibiza ngokuthi “lithente lokuhlangana.” Ubani lobani owayedinga uThixo wayesiya ethenteni lokuhlangana ngaphandle kwezihonqo.
8 Era buli Musa lwe yafulumanga n’alaga eri Eweema, abantu bonna nga bayimirira mu miryango gy’eweema zaabwe ne batunuulira Musa okutuusa lwe yayingiranga mu Weema.
Kwakusithi-ke lapho uMosi ephuma esiya kulelothente abantu bonke babesukuma bame eminyango yamathente abo bakhangele uMosi aze angene ethenteni.
9 Musa bwe yayingiranga mu Weema, empagi ey’ekire n’ekka n’eyimirira mu mulyango gw’Eweema; Mukama n’alyoka ayogera ne Musa.
Kwakusithi uMosi esengena ethenteni insika yeyezi yehlele phansi ime emnyango wethente lapho uThixo ekhuluma loMosi.
10 Abantu bwe baalabanga ng’empagi ey’ekire eyimiridde mu mulyango gw’Eweema, bonna ne basituka ne basinza, buli omu mu mulyango gw’eweema ye.
Kwakusithi abantu bangabona insika yeyezi isimi emnyango wethente basukume bonke bakhonze; lowo lalowo emnyango wethente lakhe.
11 Bw’atyo Mukama bwe yayogeranga ne Musa nga batunulaganye, ng’omuntu bw’ayogera ne mukwano gwe. Musa bwe yaddangayo mu lusiisira, omuweereza we, omuvubuka Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, ye n’asigalayo mu Weema.
UThixo wayekhuluma loMosi ubuso ngobuso njengomuntu ekhuluma lomngane wakhe. Ngemva kwalokho uMosi wayebuyela ezihonqweni, kodwa umncedisi wakhe owayesesemncane, uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, wayengasuki ethenteni.
12 Musa n’agamba Mukama nti, “Obadde ontegeeza nti, ‘Kulembera abantu bano,’ naye omuntu gw’onontuma naye tomuntegeezezza. Ogambye nti, ‘Nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo, era onsanyusizza.’
UMosi wathi kuThixo, “Ubulokhu ungitshela usithi, ‘Khokhela abantu laba,’ kodwa kawungazisanga ukuthi ngubani ozamthuma ukuba ahambe lami. Utshilo wathi, ‘Ngiyakwazi ngebizo, njalo ufumene umusa kimi.’
13 Obanga nkusanyusizza, njigiriza amakubo go ndyoke nkumanye era nneeyongeranga okukusanyusa. Jjukira nti eggwanga lino be bantu bo.”
Nxa uthokoza ngami, ngifundisa izindlela zakho ukuze ngikwazi, ngiqhubeke ngithola umusa kuwe. Khumbula futhi lokuthi isizwe lesi singabantu bakho.”
14 Mukama n’addamu nti, “Nnaagendanga naawe, era nnaakuwummuzanga.”
UThixo waphendula wathi, “NgoBukhona bami ngizahamba lawe ngikuphumuze.”
15 Musa n’amugamba nti, “Obanga toogende naffe, totuggya wano.
UMosi wathi kuye, “Nxa uBukhona bakho bungahambi lathi, ungasisusi lapha.
16 Kale abantu balitegeerera ku ki nga Nkusanyusizza, nze n’abantu bo? Si lwa kubanga onooba ogenze naffe, ne tuba ba njawulo, nze n’abantu bo, nga twawukana ku bantu bonna ab’oku nsi?”
Umuntu angakwazi njani ukuthi mina labantu bakho sifumene umusa kuwe ngaphandle kokuba uhamba lathi na? Kuyini okunye okungasiphawula, mina labantu bakho, kwabanye abantu bonke emhlabeni na?”
17 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kukola ekyo kyennyini ky’osabye; onsanyusizza, era nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo.”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ngizakwenza khona kanye lokhu okucelileyo ngoba ngiyathokoza ngawe, njalo ngikwazi ngebizo.”
18 Musa n’agamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ndaga ekitiibwa kyo.”
UMosi wasesithi, “Ngicela ukuba ungitshengise inkazimulo yakho.”
19 Mukama n’agamba nti, “Nzija kuggyayo obulungi bwange bwonna nga mbuyisa mu maaso go. Era nzija kukutegeeza erinnya lyange, Mukama. Buli gwe nnaayagalanga okukwatirwa ekisa, nnaamukwatirwanga ekisa, ne buli gwe nnaayagalanga okusaasira nnaamusaasiranga.”
UThixo wasesithi, “Ngizakwenza ukulunga kwami kudlule phambi kwakho, njalo ngizamemezela ibizo lami, uThixo, phambi kwakho. Ngizakuba lesihawu kulowo engizakuba lesihawu kuye njalo ngibe lesisa kulowo engizakuba lesisa kuye.”
20 Era n’agamba nti, “Naye toyinza kulaba maaso gange, kubanga tewali muntu antunulako n’aba mulamu.”
UThixo waqhubeka wathi, “Kodwa, ubuso bami awungeke ububone, ngoba kakho ongangibona aphile.”
21 Mukama n’agamba nti, “Waliwo wano okumpi nange ekifo ku lwazi kw’onooyimirira.
UThixo wabuya wathi, “Kulendawo phansi kwami lapho ongema khona phezu kwedwala.
22 Ekitiibwa kyange bwe kinaaba kiyitawo, nnaakuteeka mu mpataanya mu lwazi, ne nkubikkako omukono gwange okutuusa lwe nnaamala okuyitawo.
Kuzakuthi lapho inkazimulo yami isedlula eduze, ngizakufaka emnkenkeni wedwala ngikusithe ngesandla sami ngize ngidlule.
23 Oluvannyuma omukono gwange nnaaguggyawo, n’olaba amabega gange; naye tojja kulaba ku maaso gange.”
Emva kwalokho ngizasusa isandla sami ubone umhlane wami; kodwa ubuso bami akumelanga ububone.”
