Okuva 5
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Musa ne Alooni ne bajja eri Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Tutumiddwa Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’akugamba nti, ‘Leka abantu bange bagende, bankolere embaga mu ddungu.’”
Zitachitika izi, Mose ndi Aaroni anapita kwa Farao ndipo anati, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Aloleni anthu anga apite, kuti akachite chikondwerero cha Ine mʼchipululu.’”
2 Naye Falaawo n’abaddamu nti, “Mukama ye ani, mmugondere, nzikirize Abayisirayiri okugenda? Mukama ssimumanyi, era sijja kubakkiriza kugenda.”
Koma Farao anati, “Yehova ndani kuti ine ndimumvere ndi kulola Aisraeli kuti apite? Ine Yehova sindikumudziwa ndipo sindilola kuti Aisraeli apite.”
3 Ne bamugamba nti, “Katonda w’Abaebbulaniya yatulabikira. Tukusaba otuleke tugende olugendo lwa nnaku ssatu mu ddungu, tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda waffe; aleme kututta ne kawumpuli, oba n’ekitala.”
Ndipo iwo anati, “Mulungu wa Ahebri anakumana nafe. Chonde tiloleni tipite ulendo wa masiku atatu ku chipululu kuti tikapereke nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu, ngati sititero iye adzatipweteka ndi miliri kapena lupanga.”
4 Naye kabaka w’e Misiri n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe Musa ne Alooni, lwaki mwagala okuggya abantu ku mirimu gyabwe? Muddeeyo mangu ku mirimu gyammwe.”
Koma mfumu ya Igupto inati, “Mose ndi Aaroni, chifukwa chiyani mukuchititsa anthuwa kuti asagwire ntchito zawo? Bwererani ku ntchito zanu!”
5 Falaawo n’ayongera n’agamba nti, “Kale, mulabe abantu nga bwe beeyongedde obungi mu ggwanga ate mmwe mubaziyiza kukola.”
Ndiponso Farao anati, “Taonani, anthuwa mʼdziko muno alipo ochuluka, ndipo inu mukuwaletsa kugwira ntchito.”
6 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Falaawo n’alagira abagabi b’emirimu ne bannampala b’abantu nti,
Pa tsiku lomwelo Farao analamulira akapitawo a thangata ndi anzawo a Chiisraeli amene ankayangʼanira anthu kuti
7 “Mulekeraawo okuwanga abantu essubi ery’okukozesa mu kubumba amatoffaali; mubaleke bagende beenoonyezenga essubi lyabwe.
“Inu musawapatsenso udzu wopangira njerwa monga mumachitira kale, iwo azipita ndi kukatenga udzu wawo.
8 Naye mubalagire babumbenga obungi bw’amatoffaali bwe bumu nga ge babadde babumba; temukendeezanga ku muwendo ogwabasalirwa. Bagayaavu; era kyebava bankaabirira nti, ‘Tuleke tugende tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Katonda waffe.’
Koma musawachepetsere chiwerengero cha njerwa chomwe munawalamulira kale kuti aziwumba. Iwowa ndi aulesi. Nʼchifukwa chake akulira kuti, ‘Tiloleni tipite tikapereke nsembe kwa Mulungu wathu.’
9 Abasajja mubongereko ku mirimu gye mubasalira, bakole nnyo, balyoke baleme na kufa ku ebyo bye babalimbalimba.”
Muwakhawulitse ndi ntchito anthu amenewa kuti azitanganidwa, asakhale ndi mpata omvera zabodza.”
10 Awo abakozesa ne bannampala ne bagenda ne bategeeza abantu nti, “Falaawo agambye bw’ati nti, ‘Sijja kwongera kubawanga ssubi.
Choncho akapitawo a thangata ndi anzawo a Chiisraeli amene ankayangʼanira anthu anapita kwa anthu aja nati, “‘Farao akuti sadzakupatsaninso udzu.
11 Mugende mwenoonyeze essubi yonna gye musobola okuliraba; kyokka emirimu gyammwe tegijja kukendeezebwako n’akatono.’”
Mʼmalo mwake mupite mukadzimwetere udzu kulikonse kumene mungawupeze. Komabe ntchito yanu sichepetsedwa.’”
12 Bwe batyo abantu ne basaasaanira Misiri yonna okukuŋŋaanya obukonge bw’essubi ly’eŋŋaano bakozese obwo mu kifo ky’essubi.
Kotero anthuwo anamwazikana mʼdziko lonse la Igupto kukamweta udzu.
13 Abakozesa ne babakuluusanyanga nga babalagira nti, “Emirimu gyammwe egibasalirwa buli lunaku, mugituukirize nga bwe mwakolanga ng’essubi likyabaweebwa.”
Akapitawo a thangata aja anawafulumiza anthu aja nati, “Malizani kugwira ntchito yanu ya tsiku ndi tsiku monga mmene zinalili pamene munkapatsidwa udzu.”
14 Bannampala Abayisirayiri, abaalondebwa abakozesa ba Falaawo, ne bakubibwanga nga bwe babuuzibwa nti, “Lwaki omuwendo gw’amatoffaali ogwa jjo n’ogwa leero ogwabasalirwa temugutuukirizza nga bwe mwakolanga edda?”
Akapitawo a thangata a Farao ankawamenya oyangʼanira anzawo a Chiisraeli aja nawapanikiza kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani lero simunawumbe chiwerengero chovomerezeka cha njerwa monga chakale chija?”
15 Awo bannampala Abayisirayiri ne bajja ne bajulira ewa Falaawo, ne bamugamba nti, “Ffe abaddu bo, lwaki otuyisizza bw’oti?
Pamenepo oyangʼanira anzawo a Chiisraeli aja anapita kukadandaula kwa Farao kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mwachitira antchito anu zotere?
16 Abaddu bo tetuweebwa ssubi, kyokka tulagirwa nti, ‘Mubumbe amatoffaali!’ Abaddu bo tukubibwa, so ng’omusango guli mu bantu bo.”
Antchito anu sakupatsidwa udzu, komabe akutiwuza kuti, ‘Umbani njerwa!’ Antchito anu akumenyedwa, koma cholakwa sichili ndi anthu anu.”
17 Falaawo n’abaddamu nti, “Muli bagayaavu bugayaavu kyokka. Kyemuva mundeeberera nti, ‘Tuleke tugende tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.’
Farao anati, “Ulesi, inu ndinu alesi! Nʼchifukwa chake mukumanena kuti, ‘Mutilole tipite kukapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.’
18 Kale, mugende mukole! Temujja kuweebwa ssubi, naye muteekwa okubumba omuwendo gw’amatoffaali omujjuvu nga bwe gwabasalirwa.”
Pitani tsopano kuntchito. Simudzapatsidwanso udzu komabe muyenera kuwumba muyeso wanu wovomerezeka wa njerwa.”
19 Bannampala Abayisirayiri ne bategeera ng’akacwano kabatuukiridde, bwe baagambibwa nti, “Omuwendo gw’amatoffaali ogwabasalirwa okubumbanga buli lunaku tegujja kukendeezebwako.”
Oyangʼanira anzawo a Chiisraeli anazindikira kuti ali pa mavuto pamene anawuzidwa kuti, “Musachepetse chiwerengero cha njerwa chimene muyenera kuwumba tsiku lililonse.”
20 Bwe baava ewa Falaawo, baasanga Musa ne Alooni nga babalindiridde.
Atachoka pamaso pa Farao, anakumana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni akuwadikira,
21 Bannampala ne babagamba nti, “Mukama abatunuulire era asalewo; kubanga mutufudde ekyenyinyalwa ewa Falaawo n’abaweereza be, era mubakwasizza ekitala okututta.”
ndipo iwo anati, “Yehova akupenyeni ndi kukuweruzani popeza mwachititsa Farao ndi nduna zake kuti anyansidwe nafe ndipo mwayika lupanga mʼmanja mwawo kuti atiphe.”
22 Awo Musa n’akomawo awali Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama, abantu bano lwaki obaleetedde emitawaana? Eyo y’ensonga kyewava ontuma?
Mose anabwerera kwa Yehova ndipo anati, “Chonde Ambuye, chifukwa chiyani mukuzunza anthu anu? Kodi munanditumira zimenezi?
23 Kubanga kasookedde ŋŋenda ne njogera ne Falaawo mu linnya lyo, abantu bo abataddeko ebizibu bingi; era abantu bo tobawonyezza n’akatono.”
Chipitireni changa kwa Farao kukamuyankhula mʼdzina lanu, iye wakhala akuzunza anthuwa, ndipo inu simunawapulumutse konse anthu anu.”
