1 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
UThixo wathi kuMosi:
2 “Weesa mu ffeeza amakondeere abiri ogakozesenga okuyitanga abantu bonna okukuŋŋaana, era n’okubalagira okuggyawo ensiisira zaabwe.
“Yenza amacilongo amabili ngesiliva esikhandiweyo, ukuze uwasebenzise nxa ubizela abako-Israyeli ndawonye lanxa izihonqo sezifanele ukususwa ukuba kuhanjwe.
3 Amakondeere gombi bwe ganaafuuyibwanga, ekibiina ky’abantu bonna banaakuŋŋaaniranga w’oli ku mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
Kuzakuthi nxa amacilongo womabili angakhala sikhathi sinye, isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli sibuthane phambi kwakho esangweni lethente lokuHlangana.
4 Naye bwe banaafuuwangako erimu, olwo abakulembeze, be bakulu b’ebika bya Isirayiri, be banaakuŋŋaaniranga w’oli.
Kungakhala elilodwa nje, abakhokheli, inhloko zezizwana zako-Israyeli, kumele babuthane phambi kwakho.
5 Amakondeere ag’omwanguka bwe ganaafuuyibwanga, ebika ebinaabanga bisiisidde ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba binaasitulanga okutambula.
Nxa icilongo lingakhala kakhulu, izizwana ezihlala ezihonqweni ezisempumalanga zizasuka.
6 Ate bwe banaafuuwanga ag’omwanguka omulundi ogwokubiri, ensiisira ezinaabanga mu bukiikaddyo, zinaasitulanga okutambula. Amakondeere ag’omwanguka ke kanaabanga akabonero akanaabategeezanga nti basitule batambule.
Lingakhala kakhulu okwesibili izihonqo ezingeningizimu zizasuka. Ukukhala kakhulu kwecilongo kutsho ukuthi kakusukwe.
7 Naye bwe kineetaagisanga okukuba olukuŋŋaana, onoofuuwanga amakondeere naye tegaabenga ga mwanguka.
Ekubuthanisweni kwabantu ndawonye, lizakhalisa amacilongo, kodwa kube lomahluko ukukhala kwawo.
8 “Abaana ba Alooni, bakabona, be banaafuuwanga amakondeere. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira mu mmwe ne mu mirembe egigenda okujja.
Amadodana ka-Aroni, abaphristi, yibo abazatshaya amacilongo. Lesi siyisimiso esizakuma njalo kini lakuzizukulwane ezizayo.
9 Bwe munaagendanga okutabaala omulabe abajoogerereza mu nsi yammwe, mufuuwanga amakondeere ag’omwanguka. Bwe mutyo munajjukirwanga Mukama Katonda, era anaabawonyanga abalabe bammwe.
Nxa lisilwa impi lesitha esilincindezelayo elizweni lakini, lizakhalisa kakhulu amacilongo. Ngalokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzalikhumbula njalo lisindiswe ezitheni zenu.
10 Mu biseera eby’essanyu, ne ku mbaga zammwe entongole ne ku mbaga z’omwezi ogwakaboneka, munaafuuwanga amakondeere nga bwe muwaayo ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo byammwe olw’emirembe, era binaabanga bijjukizo byammwe awali Katonda wammwe. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
Njalo lasezikhathini zenu zentokozo, emikhosini emisiweyo kanye lemadilini okuThwasa kwenyanga, lizakhalisa amacilongo phezu kweminikelo yokutshiswa kanye leminikelo yobudlelwano, ngakho izakuba yisikhumbuzo senu phambi kukaNkulunkulu wenu. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
11 Awo olwatuuka ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu mwezi ogwokubiri mu mwaka ogwokubiri, ekire ne kisitulibwa okuva waggulu wa Weema ey’Endagaano.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili ngenyanga yesibili ngomnyaka wesibili, iyezi lasuka phezu kweThabanikeli lobuFakazi.
12 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula ne batambula okuva mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi, oluvannyuma ekire ne kiyimirira mu Ddungu lya Palani.
Ngalokho abako-Israyeli basuka enkangala yaseSinayi bazula indawo ngendawo iyezi laze layakuma enkangala yasePharani.
13 Ogwo gwe gwali omulundi omubereberye okusitula okutambula nga bagendera ku kiragiro kya Mukama Katonda kye yayisa mu Musa.
Basuka, okwehlandla lakuqala ngokulaya kukaThixo ngoMosi.

28 Eyo ye yali entegeka ey’abaana ba Isirayiri ng’ebibinja byabwe bwe byali nga basitula okutambula.
Lokhu kwakuyindlela yokulandelana kokuhamba kwezigaba zabako-Israyeli ekusukeni kwabo.
29 Awo Musa n’agamba mukoddomi we Kobabu mutabani wa Leweri Omumidiyaani nti, “Tusitula okutambula okugenda mu kifo Mukama kye yatugamba nti, ‘Ndikibawa.’ Kale nno, jjangu tugende ffenna tulikuyisa bulungi, kubanga Mukama yasuubiza Isirayiri ebintu ebirungi.”
UMosi wathi kuHobhabhi indodana kaRuweli onguMidiyani uyisezala kaMosi, “Sesisuka sisiya elizweni lelo elatshiwo nguThixo ukuthi ‘Ngizalipha lona.’ Woza sihambe lawe thina sizakuphatha kuhle, uThixo uthembise abako-Israyeli izinto ezinhle.”
30 Naye n’addamu nti, “Nedda, sijja kugenda nammwe, nzirayo mu nsi ye waffe era mu bantu bange.”
Waphendula wathi, “Hatshi, angiyikuhamba, ngizabuyela kwelakithi ebantwini bakithi.”
31 Naye Musa n’amugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde totuleka. Ggwe omanyi obulungi eddungu gye tusaanye okukuba olusiisira lwaffe, ggwe ojja okubeera amaaso gaffe.
Kodwa uMosi wathi, “Ngiyakuncenga ungasuki phakathi kwethu. Nguwe owazi lapha okufanele sihlale khona enkangala, njalo ongaba ngamehlo ethu.
32 Singa ojja ne tugenda ffenna, tunaagabaniranga wamu buli kirungi kyonna Mukama ky’anaatuwanga.”
Nxa ungahamba lathi, sizakwabelana lawe izinto ezinhle esiyabe siziphiwe nguThixo.”
33 Awo ne basitula okuva ku lusozi lwa Mukama Katonda ne batambulira ennaku ssatu. Essanduuko ya Mukama ey’Endagaano n’ebakulemberanga okumala ennaku ezo essatu ng’ebanoonyeza ekifo eky’okuwummuliramu.
Ngakho basuka entabeni kaThixo bahamba okwensuku ezintathu. Umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo wahamba phambi kwabo okwalezonsuku ezintathu ukubafunela indawo yokuphumula.
34 Buli lwe baasitulanga okutambula nga bava mu lusiisira, ekire kya Mukama Katonda kyabeeranga waggulu waabwe buli budde bwa misana.
Iyezi likaThixo lalisiba phezu kwabo emini lapho sebesuka ezihonqweni.
35 Buli abeetissi b’Essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda lwe baasitulanga okutambula, Musa n’agamba nti, “Golokoka, Ayi Mukama! Abalabe bo basaasaane; amaggye agakulwanyisa gakudduke.”
Kwakusithi lapho umtshokotsho wesivumelwano usuka, uMosi athi, “Phakama, Thixo! Sengathi izitha zingahlakazeka; sengathi izitha zakho zingabaleka phambi kwakho.”
36 Buli Ssanduuko ya Mukama Katonda lwe yawummuzibwanga, Musa n’agamba nti, “Komawo, Ayi Mukama, eri enkumi n’enkumi eza Isirayiri.”
Kwakusithi lingema, athi, “Buya, Thixo, kuzinkulungwane zako-Israyeli ezingebalwe.”
