< Okubala 9 >
1 Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ogw’omwaka ogwokubiri kasookedde bava mu nsi y’e Misiri. N’amugamba nti,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi enkangala yeSinayi, ngomnyaka wesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo elizweni leGibhithe ngenyanga yokuqala, isithi:
2 “Lagira abaana ba Isirayiri bakwatenga Embaga ey’Okuyitako mu ntuuko zaayo nga bwe kyalagirwa.
Futhi abantwana bakoIsrayeli kabagcine iphasika ngesikhathi salo esimisiweyo.
3 Mugikwatanga mu ntuuko zaayo ezaalagirwa ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi guno nga buwungeera, ng’amateeka n’ebiragiro byako bwe bigamba.”
Ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga le, kusihlwa, lizaligcina ngesikhathi salo esimisiweyo; ngokwezimiso zalo zonke langokwemithetho yalo yonke liligcine.
4 Bw’atyo Musa n’agamba abaana ba Isirayiri okukwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako;
Ngakho uMozisi wakhuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi bagcine iphasika.
5 era ne bakola bwe batyo mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga buwungeera. Abaana ba Isirayiri baakola ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Basebegcina iphasika ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yakuqala, kusihlwa, enkangala yeSinayi; njengakho konke iNkosi eyamlaya ngakho uMozisi, benza njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
6 Naye waaliwo abantu abamu abataasobola kukwata Mbaga ey’Okuyitako ku lunaku olwo, kubanga tebaali balongoofu olwokubanga baali bakutte ku mufu. Bwe batyo ne bajja eri Musa ne Alooni ku lunaku olwo lwennyini,
Kwakukhona-ke amadoda ayengcolile ngenxa yesidumbu, ukuthi ayengelakugcina iphasika ngalolosuku. Asondela phambi kukaMozisi laphambi kukaAroni ngalolosuku.
7 ne bagamba Musa nti, “Tetuli balongoofu kubanga twakutte ku mufu; lwaki tugaanibwa okuleetera Mukama ekiweebwayo kye, awamu n’abaana ba Isirayiri, mu ntuuko zaakyo ezaalagirwa?”
Lalawomadoda asesithi kubo: Thina singcolile ngenxa yesidumbu; sivinjelelwani ukuze singanikeli umnikelo weNkosi ngesikhathi sawo esimisiweyo, phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli?
8 Musa n’abaddamu nti, “Mulinde mmale okumanya Mukama Katonda ky’anandagira ku nsonga yammwe.”
UMozisi wasesithi kuwo: Manini, ukuze ngizwe ukuthi iNkosi izalilayani.
9 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
10 “Yogera eri abaana ba Isirayiri obagambe nti, ‘Omu ku mmwe, oba omu ku bazzukulu bammwe ab’omu mirembe egiriddawo, singa afuuka atali mulongoofu olw’okukwata ku mufu, oba nga taliiwo yagenda olugendo olw’ewala, anaakwatanga Embaga ey’Okuyitako eya Mukama Katonda.
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Uba ngulowo lalowo phakathi kwenu loba owezizukulwana zenu ezangcola ngenxa yesidumbu, loba esekuhambeni khatshana, uzagcina iphasika eNkosini.
11 Banaakwatanga embaga eyo ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya mu mwezi ogwokubiri akawungeezi. Omwana gw’endiga banaagulyanga n’omugaati ogutali muzimbulukuse n’enva ez’ebikoola ebikaawa.
Ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwetshumi lane, kusihlwa, bazaligcina; bazalidla lesinkwa esingelamvubelo lemibhida ebabayo.
12 Tebagulekangawo okutuusa enkeera, wadde okumenya ku magumba gaagwo. Bwe banaakwatanga Embaga ey’Okuyitako kinaabasaaniranga okukola ng’amateeka g’embaga eyo bwe galagira.
Kabayikutshiya lutho lwalo kuze kube sekuseni, bangephuli thambo lalo; bazaligcina ngokwezimiso zonke zephasika.
13 Naye omuntu omulongoofu ate nga teyagenda lugendo, kyokka n’atakwata Mbaga ey’Okuyitako, anaawaŋŋangusibwanga n’ava mu banne, kubanga teyaleeta kiweebwayo kya Mukama Katonda mu ntuuko zaakyo. Ekibi ky’omuntu oyo kinaabeeranga ku mutwe gwe.
Kodwa umuntu ohlambulukileyo, ongekho ekuhambeni, oyekela ukugcina iphasika, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke ebantwini bawo, ngoba kanikelanga umnikelo weNkosi ngesikhathi sawo esimisiweyo; lowomuntu uzathwala isono sakhe.
14 “‘Omunnaggwanga anaabeeranga mu mmwe bw’anaabanga ayagala okukwata Embaga ey’Okuyitako kwa Mukama Katonda anaagikwatanga ng’agoberera amateeka n’ebiragiro byayo. Munaabanga n’ebiragiro byebimu ebinaagobererwanga bannaggwanga era ne bannansi.’”
Uba-ke owemzini ehlala njengowezizwe kini agcine iphasika eNkosini, ngokwesimiso sephasika langokomthetho walo, uzakwenza njalo. Kuzakuba lesimiso esisodwa kini lakowemzini lakowokuzalwa elizweni.
15 Ku lunaku Weema ya Mukama ey’Endagaano lwe yasimbibwa, ekire ne kigibikka. Okuva akawungeezi okutuusa ku makya ekire ekyali waggulu wa Weema ne kifaanana ng’omuliro.
Langosuku ithabhanekele elamiswa ngalo, iyezi lasibekela ithabhanekele, ithente lobufakazi; lakusihlwa kwakukhona phezu kwethabhanekele njengokubonakala komlilo kwaze kwaba sekuseni.
16 Bwe kityo bwe kyabeeranga; ekire kyagibikkanga emisana naye ekiro ne kifaanana ng’omuliro.
Kwakunjalo isikhathi sonke: Iyezi lalisibekela, njalo kwaba lokubonakala komlilo ebusuku.
17 Era ekire buli lwe kyaggyibwanga ku Weema, olwo abaana ba Isirayiri ne basitula mu lugendo lwabwe; era awo ekire ekyo we kyayimiriranga, nga n’abaana ba Isirayiri we basiisira.
Kwakusithi lapho iyezi liphakanyiswa lisuka phezu kwethente, langemva kwalokho abantwana bakoIsrayeli basuke; lendaweni lapho iyezi elima khona, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bamisa khona amathente abo.
18 Mukama bwe yalagiranga abaana ba Isirayiri okusitula mu lugendo lwabwe, nga basitula; Mukama bwe yabalagiranga okukuba olusiisira nga bakola bwe batyo. Ebbanga lyonna ekire lye kyamalanga waggulu wa Weema nga nabo lye bamala mu lusiisira lwabwe.
Ngokomlayo weNkosi abantwana bakoIsrayeli basuka, langokomlayo weNkosi bamisa amathente abo: Bahlala enkambeni insuku zonke iyezi elalihlala ngazo phezu kwethabhanekele.
19 Ekire ne bwe kyamalanga ennaku ennyingi waggulu wa Weema, abaana ba Isirayiri baagonderanga ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda ne batasitula kutambula.
Lalapho iyezi lihlala isikhathi eside phezu kwethabhanekele insuku ezinengi, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bagcina imfanelo yeNkosi, kabasukanga.
20 Oluusi ekire kyamalanga ennaku ntono waggulu wa Weema; naye ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyali, nga basigala mu lusiisira lwabwe; kyokka oluvannyuma nga basitula okutambula ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyabanga.
Kwasekusithi lapho iyezi liphezu kwethabhanekele insuku ezinlutshwana; ngokomlayo weNkosi bahlala enkambeni, futhi ngokomlayo weNkosi basuka.
21 Oluusi ekire kyabeerangawo okuva akawungeezi okutuusa mu makya; naye ekire bwe kyaggyibwangawo mu makya, ng’olwo basitula okutambula; oba bwe kyasigalangawo olunaku n’ekiro kyonna oluvannyuma ne kiggyibwawo, ng’olwo basitula okutambula.
Kwasekusithi lapho iyezi likhona kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni, lapho iyezi liphakanyiswa ekuseni, basuka. Loba kusemini kumbe ebusuku, lapho iyezi liphakanyiswa basuka.
22 Ekire ne bwe kyabeeranga waggulu wa Weema okumala ennaku ebbiri oba omwezi, abaana ba Isirayiri nga babeera awo mu lusiisira lwabwe nga tebasitula kutambula; naye bwe kyaggyibwangawo ng’olwo basitula okutambula.
Kumbe uba iyezi lalihlala isikhathi eside phezu kwethabhanekele okwensuku ezimbili, loba inyanga, loba umnyaka, lihlezi phezu kwalo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahlala enkambeni, kabasukanga. Kodwa lapho liphakanyiswa, basuka.
23 Mukama bwe yabalagiranga okusigala, nga basigala mu lusiisira lwabwe nga bawummudde, ate Mukama bwe yabalagiranga okutambula, nga basitula okutambula. Baagonderanga ekiragiro kya Mukama nga bwe yalagira Musa.
Ngokomlayo weNkosi bamisa inkamba, langokomlayo weNkosi basuka. Bagcina imfanelo yeNkosi ngokomlayo weNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
