1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Ggenda ewa Falaawo omugambe nti, ‘Mukama agambye bw’ati nti, “Leka abantu bange bagende, balyoke bansinze.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yana kuFaro uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bangikhonze.
2 Naye bw’onoogaana n’otabakkiriza kugenda, laba, nnaasindika ebikere ne bijjula ensi yo yonna.
Uba-ke usala ukubayekela bahambe, khangela, ngizatshaya yonke imingcele yakho ngamaxoxo.
3 Omugga gulivaamu ebikere enkumu ennyo ebirituuka ne mu lubiri lwo. Biriyingira mu kisenge kyo mw’osula, ne ku kitanda kyo. Biriyingira mu nnyumba z’abaweereza bo ne mu z’abantu bo. Biriyingira ne mu byoto omufumbirwa.
Njalo umfula uzanyakazela ngamaxoxo, azakhuphuka, angene endlini yakho, lekamelweni lakho lokulala, laphezu kombheda wakho, lendlini yenceku zakho, laphezu kwesizwe sakho, lemaziko akho, lemiganwini yakho yokuxovela ukudla;
4 Ebikere birikuwalampa ne bikutambulirako ne ku bakungu bo bonna ne ku bantu bo.”’”
lamaxoxo azakhuphukela kuwe, lesizweni sakho lezincekwini zakho zonke.
5 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tegeeza Alooni nti, ‘Golola omukono gwo oyolekeze omuggo gwo eri emigga, n’eri emikutu gy’amazzi, n’eri ebidiba, osobozese ebikere okubuna ensi yonna ey’e Misiri.’”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Tshono kuAroni uthi: Yelula isandla sakho ngentonga yakho phezu kwemifula, phezu kwezifula, laphezu kweziziba, wenze amaxoxo akhuphukele elizweni leGibhithe.
6 Bw’atyo Alooni n’agolola omukono gwe ku mazzi gonna ag’omu Misiri; ebikere ne bivaayo ne bijjula ensi yonna ey’e Misiri.
UAroni waseselula isandla sakhe phezu kwamanzi eGibhithe; lamaxoxo akhuphuka, asibekela ilizwe leGibhithe.
7 Abalogo nabo ne bakola bwe batyo mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama, nabo ne baleeta ebikere mu nsi ey’e Misiri.
Labalumbi benza njalo ngamalumbo abo, benza amaxoxo akhuphukela elizweni leGibhithe.
8 Awo Falaawo n’atumya Musa ne Alooni n’abagamba nti, “Mwegayirire Mukama anziggyeeko ebikere bino era ne ku bantu bange, ndyoke nange ndeke abantu bammwe bagende baweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.”
UFaro wasebabiza oMozisi loAroni wathi: Ncengani iNkosi ukuthi isuse amaxoxo kimi lesizweni sami; njalo ngizayekela isizwe sihambe ukuthi bahlabele iNkosi.
9 Musa n’addamu Falaawo nti, “Weerondere ekiseera nga bw’osiima, w’oyagalira neegayirire Mukama ku lulwo ne ku lw’abaweereza bo, ne ku lw’abantu bo, ebikere ebikuliko n’ebiri mu nnyumba zo bizikirizibwe, bisigale mu mugga Kiyira mwokka.”
UMozisi wasesithi kuFaro: Woba lodumo ngaphezu kwami. Ngizakuncengela nini lenceku zakho, lesizwe sakho, ukuchitha amaxoxo asuke kuwe lendlini zakho, asale emfuleni kuphela?
10 Falaawo n’agamba nti, “Enkya.” Musa n’agamba nti, “Kijja kubeera nga bw’ogambye, olyoke otegeere nga bwe watali n’omu afaanana nga Mukama Katonda waffe.
Wasesithi: Kusasa. Wathi-ke: Njengelizwi lakho, ukuze wazi ukuthi kakho onjengeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
11 Ebikere bijja kukuviira, bive ne mu mayumba go, biviire n’abaweereza bo n’abantu bo; bijja kusigala mu mugga mwokka.”
Njalo amaxoxo azasuka kuwe lezindlini zakho lezincekwini zakho lesizweni sakho, asale emfuleni kuphela.
12 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bava ewa Falaawo. Musa ne yeegayirira Mukama olw’ebikere Mukama bye yali aleetedde Falaawo.
UMozisi loAroni basebephuma kuFaro. UMozisi wakhala eNkosini ngenxa yamaxoxo eyayiwabekile phezu kukaFaro.
13 Mukama n’akolera Musa kye yamusaba. Ebikere ne bifiira mu mayumba, ne mu mpya mu byalo, ne mu nnimiro.
INkosi yenza-ke njengelizwi likaMozisi; amaxoxo asesifa ephuma ezindlini, emagumeni lemasimini.
14 Ne bikuŋŋaanyizibwa entuumo n’entuumo; ensi n’ejjula ekivundu.
Basebewabuthelela inqwaba ngenqwaba; lelizwe laba levumba.
15 Naye Falaawo bwe yalaba nga waliwo wassiza ku mukka, n’akakanyaza omutima gwe, ebya Musa ne Alooni n’alekera awo okubiwuliriza, era nga Mukama bwe yali agambye.
Kodwa uFaro ebona ukuthi sekungcono, wenza inhliziyo yakhe yaba nzima, ukuthi kabalalelanga, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
16 Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa nti, “Gamba Alooni bw’oti nti, ‘Golola omuggo gwo, okube ku nfuufu eri ku ttaka, eryoke efuuke ensekere mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri.’”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Tshono kuAroni uthi: Yelula intonga yakho, utshaye uthuli lomhlaba, ukuze lube yimiyane elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
17 Ne bakola nga Mukama bw’abagambye; Alooni n’agolola omukono gwe ogwali gukute omuggo, n’akuba ku nfuufu ku ttaka, ne muvaamu ensekere ne zitambulira ku bantu ne ku nsolo; enfuufu yonna mu nsi y’e Misiri n’efuuka nsekere.
Basebesenza njalo; ngoba uAroni welula isandla sakhe silentonga yakhe, watshaya uthuli lomhlaba; lemiyane yaba khona ebantwini lezifuyweni; lonke uthuli lwaba yimiyane elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
18 Abalogo nabo ne bagezaako mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama okufuusa ensekere, naye ne balemwa. Ensekere ne ziteevuunya ku bantu ne ku nsolo.
Labalumbi benza njalo ngamalumbo abo ukuveza imiyane, kodwa babengeke. Ngakho imiyane yaba sebantwini lezifuyweni.
19 Abalogo ne bagamba Falaawo nti, “Engalo ya Katonda bino y’ebikoze.” Naye omutima gwa Falaawo ne gukakanyala, n’atabawuliriza, nga Mukama bwe yali agambye.
Labalumbi bathi kuFaro: Lokhu kungumunwe kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kazabezwa, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
20 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Keera mu makya nnyo, ogende osisinkane Falaawo ng’aserengeta ku mazzi omugambe nti, ‘Mukama agambye bw’ati nti, Leka abantu bange bagende, bansinze.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Vuka ekuseni kakhulu, uzimise phambi kukaFaro; khangela uphuma esiya emanzini, njalo uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yekela abantu bami bahambe bangikhonze.
21 Naye abantu bange bw’otoobakkirize kugenda, laba, ndireeta ebikuukuulu by’ensowera, ku ggwe ne ku baweereza bo, ne ku bantu bo, ne mu nnyumba zammwe. Ensowera zirijjula mu mayumba ga Bamisiri ne ku ttaka kwe gaazimbibwa.
Ngoba uba ungasiyekeli isizwe sami sihambe, khangela ngizathumela umtshitshi wezibawu kuwe lezincekwini zakho lesizweni sakho lendlini zakho; lezindlu zamaGibhithe zizagcwala umtshitshi wezibawu futhi lomhlabathi ezikuwo.
22 “‘Naye ku lunaku olwo, ekitundu Goseni abantu bange gye babeera ndikiyisa mu ngeri ya njawulo; kubanga yo teribaayo bikuukuulu bya nsowera n’akatono, olyoke otegeere nga nze, Mukama, ndi wano wakati mu nsi.
Kodwa ngalolosuku ngizakwehlukanisa ilizwe leGosheni esihlala kulo isizwe sami, ukuthi kungabi khona lapho umtshitshi wezibawu, ukuze wazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi phakathi kwelizwe.
23 Nzija kussaawo enjawulo wakati w’abantu bange n’abantu bo. Ekyamagero kino kijja kubaawo enkeera.’”
Njalo ngizamisa umehluko phakathi kwesizwe sami lesizwe sakho; kusasa kuzakuba lesibonakaliso lesi.
24 Mukama n’akola bw’atyo. Ebikuukuulu by’ensowera ne byeyiwa mu lubiri lwa Falaawo, mu nnyumba ye, ne mu mayumba g’abaweereza be, ne mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: ensi n’eyonooneka olw’ebikuukuulu by’ensowera.
INkosi yasisenza njalo; kwasekufika umtshitshi onzima wezibawu endlini kaFaro lezindlini zezinceku zakhe lelizweni lonke leGibhithe; ilizwe lonakala ngenxa yomtshitshi wezibawu.
25 Awo Falaawo n’atumira Musa ne Alooni, n’abagamba nti, “Kale, muweereeyo wano mu nsi eno ssaddaaka eri Katonda wammwe.”
UFaro wasebabiza oMozisi loAroni, wathi: Hambani, lihlabele uNkulunkulu wenu kulelilizwe.
26 Naye Musa n’addamu nti, “Ekyo bwe tukikola, tekijja kuba kituufu. Kubanga ssaddaaka ze tuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda waffe, Abamisiri tebajja kuzaagala. Kale singa tuddira ssaddaaka Abamisiri ze bakyawa ennyo bwe batyo, ne tuziwaayo nga balaba, tebajja kutukuba amayinja?
Kodwa uMozisi wathi: Kakulunganga ukwenza njalo, ngoba sizahlabela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu okunengekayo kwamaGibhithe; khangela, uba sihlaba okunengekayo kwamaGibhithe phambi kwamehlo awo, kawayikusikhanda ngamatshe yini?
27 Kitugwanira tutambule olugendo lwa nnaku ssatu mu ddungu, tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda waffe nga bw’anaatulagira.”
Sizahamba ummango wensuku ezintathu enkangala, sihlabele-ke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu njengoba izakutsho kithi.
28 Falaawo n’agamba nti, “Nzija kubaleka mugende muweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda wammwe mu ddungu, kyokka temugenda ewala ennyo. Kale munsabire.”
UFaro wasesithi: Mina ngizaliyekela lihambe ukuthi lihlabele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu enkangala; kodwa lingayi khatshana kakhulu; lingincengele.
29 Musa n’addamu nti, “Bwe nnaaba nakava wano w’oli nzija kusaba Mukama, enkya ensowera ziviire Falaawo n’abakungu be awamu n’abantu be. Naye kirungi Falaawo aleme nate kulimbalimba, n’atakkiriza bantu kugenda kuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama.”
UMozisi wasesithi: Khangela, ngiyasuka kuwe, ngizayincenga iNkosi ukuze umtshitshi wezibawu usuke kuFaro, ezincekwini zakhe, lesizweni sakhe kusasa; kuphela uFaro angaphindi akhohlise ngokungayekeli isizwe sihambe, sihlabele iNkosi.
30 Musa n’avaayo ewa Falaawo, n’asaba Mukama.
UMozisi wasephuma kuFaro, wayincenga iNkosi.
31 Mukama n’akola nga Musa bwe yamusaba, n’aggyawo ebikuukuulu by’ensowera ewa Falaawo ne mu baweereza be, ne mu bantu be; ne watasigala nsowera n’emu.
INkosi yasisenza njengelizwi likaMozisi; yasusa umtshitshi wezibawu kuFaro, ezincekwini zakhe lesizweni sakhe; kakusalanga lesisodwa.
32 Kyokka ne ku mulundi guno, Falaawo yakakanyaza omutima gwe, abantu n’atabakkiriza kugenda.
Kodwa uFaro wenza inhliziyo yakhe yaba nzima langalesisikhathi, kayekelanga isizwe sihambe.
