U-Eksodusi 12
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni beseGibhithe,
Ɛberɛ a na Mose ne Aaron da so wɔ Misraim asase so no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
2 “Inyanga le kayibe yinyanga yakuqala kini, inyanga yokuqala emnyakeni wenu.
“Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, bosome yi bɛyɛ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ Yudafoɔ asranna so.
3 Tshelani bonke abomndeni ka-Israyeli ukuthi ngelanga letshumi lale inyanga indoda ngayinye kayithathele abomuzi wayo izinyane libe linye indlu ngendlu.
Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, saa bosome yi ɛda a ɛtɔ so edu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima biara pɛ odwammaa baako de ma nʼabusua. Ɛsɛ sɛ efie biara nya odwammaa no baako.
4 Nxa abendlu bebalutshwana kakhulu ukuthi abangeke baliqede lelozinyane kababelane labomakhelwane abaseduze kwabo kusiya ngenani labo ukuthi bangaki. Kumele uphawule ukuthi kungadingeka izinyane elingakanani kusiya ngokuthi umuntu emunye angadla inyama engakanani.
Sɛ abusua bi mu nnipa sua a wɔrentumi nwe odwammaa no a, wɔtumi ne abusua bi a ɛbɛn wɔn wɔ mpasua no so a wɔn nso sua kyɛ odwammaa no. Aboa no kyɛ wɔ saa ɛkwan no so no gyina abusua no kɛseɛ ne ɛnam dodoɔ a wɔbɛtumi awe so.
5 Kumele ukhethe amazinyane amaduna alomnyaka owodwa angelasici, njalo ungakhetha ezimvini loba embuzini.
Ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no yɛ deɛ wadi afe. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ odwan anaa abirekyie a ɔnnii dɛm.
6 Agcine amazinyane lawo kuze kube lusuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga, lapho isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli esizawahlaba khona nxa kuhwalala.
Monhwɛ saa mmoa a moayiyi wɔn yi yie nkɔsi ɔbosome a ɛdii ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ. Afei Israel asafo nyinaa nkunkum wɔn nnwammaa no dasuo mu.
7 Lapho-ke kuzamele bathathe igazi baligcobe emaceleni laphezulu kwemigubazi yalezozindlu abazadlela khona amazinyane.
Wɔmfa wɔn mogya nsra efie biara aponnwa ho. Odwammaa a wɔbɛwe no wɔ fie hɔ no mogya na wɔmfa nyɛ saa ahyɛdeɛ yi.
8 Ngalobobusuku kumele badle inyama eyoswe emlilweni, lesinkwa esingelamvubelo lemibhida ebabayo.
Anadwo, obiara bɛwe aboa no a wɔatoto no nam no bi. Wɔmfa burodo a ɛnkaeɛ ne awɔnwono nni.
9 Lingayidli inyama iluhlaza loba iphekwe ngamanzi, kodwa yoseni emlilweni konke lenhloko yakhona lamangqina kanye lezangaphakathi.
Wɔnnnoa ɛnam no na wɔnnwe no mono nso, na mmom, wɔntoto aboa mu no nyinaa, a ne ti ne nan ne nʼayamdeɛ nyinaa ka ho.
10 Lingatshiyi lutho lwayo kuze kube sekuseni; kuthi nxa kukhona okuseleyo kwayo ekuseni kumele likutshise.
Sɛ moantumi anwe ne nyinaa anadwo no a, deɛ ɛbɛka no, sɛ adeɛ kye so a, monnwe na mmom monhye no.
11 Liboyidla inkalo zenu zibotshiwe, amanyathela egqokiwe lentonga zenu zisezandleni. Lidle ngokuphangisa; kuliPhasika likaThixo.
Sɛdeɛ monwe ɛnam no nie: monwe wɔ ɛberɛ a mo ntadeɛ a mode tu ɛkwan hyehyɛ mo. Monsiesie mo ho mma ɛkwan tenten twa. Monhyɛ mo asopatere na momfa mo mpoma nkurakura. Monwe no ɔherɛ so. Saa adeyɛ yi, wɔbɛfrɛ no Awurade Twam Afahyɛ.
12 Ngalobobusuku ngizadabula phakathi kweGibhithe ngibulala wonke amazibulo abantu lawezinyamazana njalo ngizakwahlulela bonke onkulunkulu bamaGibhithe. Mina nginguThixo.
“Na mɛtwam afa Misraim asase so anadwo yi na mmammarima a wɔyɛ mmakan ne mmoa mmakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, mɛkum wɔn, na mabu anyame a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade!
13 Igazi lizakuba yisibonakaliso sezindlu lapho elikhona lina; kuzakuthi ngingabona igazi ngedlule kini. Akulasijeziso esibhidlizayo esizalithinta lina nxa sengichitha iGibhithe.
Mogya a mode bɛyɛ aponnwa no ho no bɛyɛ agyinahyɛdeɛ enti, sɛ mehunu mogya no a, mɛtwam akɔ, na sɛ merekum Misraim mmakan a, merenkum mo deɛ bi.
14 Leli akube lilanga lesikhumbuzo, kuthi zonke izizukulwane ezizayo ziligcine ngomkhosi omkhulu kuThixo, kube yisimiso sanini lanini.
“Yei yɛ ɛda a ɛsɛ sɛ mokaeɛ. Afe biara, ɛfiri awontoatoasoɔ kɔsi awontoatoasoɔ ɛsɛ sɛ mohyɛ ɛfa no sɛ afahyɛ sononko ma Awurade. Yei yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ ɛda biara.
15 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa kumele lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo. Ngelanga lakuqala khuphani imvubelo ezindlini zenu, kuthi lowo odla loba yini elemvubelo ngelanga lakuqala kusiya kwelesikhombisa kumele akhutshwe ko-Israyeli.
Nnanson no mu, monni burodo a wɔmfaa mmɔreka mfraeɛ nko ara. Afahyɛ no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, monyiyi mmɔreka biara mfiri mo afie mu. Obiara a saa ɛberɛ yi mu ɔbɛbu saa afahyɛ yi mmara yi so no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo afiri Israelman mu.
16 Ngosuku lwakuqala lenze umbuthano ongcwele, liphinde omunye ngosuku lwesikhombisa. Lingenzi msebenzi ngamalanga lawa ngaphandle kokulungisa ukudla kwabantu, yikho kodwa elingakwenza.
Afahyɛ no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan ne ne nnanson soɔ no, nnipa no nyinaa bɛdi ɛda no sɛ ɛda a wɔayi asi hɔ ama nhyiamu kronkron. Na nna no mu, aduanenoa akyiri no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma foforɔ biara.
17 Gcinani uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo ngoba kwakulilanga engehlukanisa ngalo amaviyo enu eGibhithe. Gcinani lelilanga njengesimiso sanini lanini kuzizukulwane ezizayo.
“Sɛ modi Apiti Afahyɛ yi a, ɛbɛma mo akae daa sɛ, saa ɛda no na meyii mo firii Misraim asase so. Enti, ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara, modi saa dapɔnna yi firi awo ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so.
18 Ngenyanga yakuqala kumele lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo, kusukela kusihlwa ngelanga letshumi lane kuze kube kusihlwa ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lanye.
Ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ kɔsi nʼadaduonu ɛda baako so no, burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu nko ara na monni.
19 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa akumelanga kutholakale imvubelo ezindlini zenu. Akuthi lowo odla loba yini elemvubelo asuswe phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli, loba engowezizweni kumbe owosendo lwenu.
Saa nnanson no mu, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔhunu mmɔreka kakra bi koraa wɔ mo afie mu. Enti, obiara a ɔbɛdi aduane a mmɔreka wɔ mu no, wɔbɛyi no afiri Israel asafo kuo no mu. Saa mmara yi ka amamfrafoɔ a wɔne mo te ne wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so nyinaa.
20 Lingadli lutho olufakwe imvubelo. Loba kungaphi elihlala khona libokudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo.”
Mesane meti mu bio sɛ, saa nna no mu monnni biribiara a wɔde mmɔreka afra mu; monni burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu.”
21 Ngakho uMosi wasebiza bonke abadala bako-Israyeli wathi kubo, “Hambani khona manje liyokhetha amazinyane ezindlu zenu lihlabe izinyane lePhasika.
Afei, Mose frɛɛ Israel mpanimfoɔ nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔkyekyere odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba mma abusua biara, na monkum no sɛ Twam Afahyɛ aboa.
22 Lithathe ilixha lehisophi liyigxamuze emganwini olegazi beselithatha elinye igazi liligcobe phezulu lakunxa zonke zomgubazi. Akungabikhona lamunye wenu ozaphuma emnyango wendlu yakhe kuze kuse.
Montwa odwan no mogya ngu kyɛnsee bi mu. Momfa hisope mmɔ mogya no mu na momfa mpete aponnwatifi ne aponnwa mmienu a aka no ho sɛdeɛ mogya no bɛda ho. Mowie a, mo mu biara mmfiri nkɔ abɔntene saa anadwo no.
23 Lapho uThixo edabula phakathi kwelizwe ebulala amaGibhithe uzalibona igazi phezulu lemaceleni omgubazi, aceze awedlule lowomnyango angamvumeli umbhubhisi ukungena endlini alibulale.
Awurade bɛtwam afa asase yi so akunkum Misraimfoɔ. Na sɛ ɔhunu sɛ mogya wɔ aponnwatifi no ne aponnwa mmienu no ho a, ɔbɛtwa saa efie no ho akɔ a ɔremma ɔsɛefoɔ no nwura hɔ nkunkum mo mmakan.
24 Lalelani imilayo le njengezimiso zaphakade kini lasezizukulwaneni zenu.
“Na monkae sɛ yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma mo ne mo asefoɔ.
25 Nxa lingangena elizweni uThixo azalinika lona njengokuthembisa kwakhe, liwugcine umkhosi lo.
Na sɛ moba asase a Awurade de bɛma mo sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no so a, mobɛkɔ so adi afahyɛ no.
26 Nxa abantwabenu belibuza besithi, ‘Umkhosi lo ngowani?’
Na sɛ mo mma bisa mo sɛ, ‘Yeinom nyinaa ase ne sɛn; saa afahyɛ yi fa ɛdeɛn ho a,
27 libatshele lithi, ‘UliPhasika lomhlatshelo kaThixo owadlula eceza izindlu zabako-Israyeli eGibhithe, waphephisa imizi yethu mhla egadla amaGibhithe.’” Khonapho abantu bakhothama bakhonza.
mobɛbua wɔn sɛ, ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔtwaa Israelfoɔ afie ho wɔ Misraim. Ɛwom sɛ ɔkunkumm Misraimfoɔ deɛ, nanso ɔgyaa yɛn mmusua.’” Ɛberɛ a Mose kasa wieeɛ no, nnipa no nyinaa koto sɔreeɛ.
28 Abako-Israyeli bakwenza lokho uThixo akuyala uMosi lo-Aroni.
Na Israelfoɔ no dii Mose ne Aaron ahyɛdeɛ no so.
29 Phakathi kobusuku uThixo wawagongoda wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, kusukela ezibulweni likaFaro owayesesihlalweni sobukhosi kusiya ezibulweni lesibotshwa esasisentolongweni, kanye lamazibulo ezifuyo.
Ɛda no ara anadwo dasuo mu Awurade kunkumm mmarimaa a wɔyɛ abakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa, ɛfiri Farao babarima panin so kɔsi odeduani babarima panin ne anantwie nso mmakan nyinaa.
30 UFaro lezikhulu zakhe zonke lawo wonke amaGibhithe bavuka ebusuku basiqhinqa isililo esikhulu eGibhithe ngoba kungekho ndlu layinye lapho okwakungafiwanga khona.
Afei, Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa sɔree anadwo no. Misraiman no nyinaa twaa agyaadwoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, efie biara nni hɔ a onipa anwu wɔ mu.
31 Ebusuku uFaro wabiza uMosi lo-Aroni wathi, “Hambani! Sukani ebantwini bami, lina labako-Israyeli. Hambani liyekhonza uThixo njengokucela kwenu.
Enti, Farao frɛɛ Mose ne Aaron anadwo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mesrɛ mo, mo nyinaa montu mfiri ha. Monkɔsom Awurade sɛdeɛ mokaeɛ no.
32 Thathani imihlambi yenu, njengokutsho kwenu lihambe. Njalo lingibusise.”
Momfa mo nnwan ne mo anantwie na monkɔ. Nanso monhyira me ansa na moakɔ.”
33 AmaGibhithe akhuthaza ukuthi baphangise baphume elizweni. Bathi, “Engxenye singafa sonke!”
Misraimfoɔ no nyinaa ani beree Israelfoɔ no so pampam wɔn sɛ wɔmfiri asase no so ntɛm, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛwuwu.”
34 Ngakho abantu bathatha inhlama yabo yesinkwa ingakafakwa mvubelo bayithwala emahlombe ngemiganu yokuvubela igoqelwe ngamalembu.
Israelfoɔ no faa wɔn mmɔre a wɔafɔtɔ a mmɔreka mfra mu, na wɔde wɔn ntadeɛ kyekyeree wɔn mmɔrefɔtɔ nnaka de sisii wɔn mmati so.
35 Abako-Israyeli benza lokho uMosi abayala khona, bacela kumaGibhithe izinto ezenziwe ngesiliva langegolide kanye lezigqoko.
Na Israelfoɔ no asrɛsrɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinneɛ ne ntadeɛ afiri Misraimfoɔ no nkyɛn sɛdeɛ Mose kaa sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
36 UThixo wenza amaGibhithe aba lomusa abapha konke abakucelayo. Ngakho bawemuka impahla ezinengi amaGibhithe.
Awurade maa Misraimfoɔ no hunuu Israelfoɔ no mmɔbɔ enti wɔmaa wɔn wɔn abisadeɛ nyinaa. Ɛnam saa yɛ so maa Israelfoɔ no twee Misraimfoɔ ahonyadeɛ nyinaa kɔeɛ.
37 Uhambo lwabako-Israyeli lwasukela eRamesesi baqonda eSukhothi. Kwakulamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ehamba ngenyawo ngaphandle kwabesifazane labantwana.
Anadwo no ara, Israelfoɔ no siim firii Rameses kɔɔ Sukot. Na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ nnipa mpem ahansia a wɔnam fam, a mmaa ne mmɔfra de wɔankan wɔn anka ho.
38 Abanye abantu abanengi bahamba labo kanye lemihlambi eminengi yezifuyo, izimvu lenkomo.
Nnipa ahodoɔ pii bi a wɔnyɛ Israelfoɔ kaa wɔn ho kɔeɛ. Wɔde wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie nyinaa kaa wɔn ho.
39 Inhlama abaphuma layo eGibhithe bapheka ngayo isinkwa esingelamvubelo. Inhlama leyo yayingelamvubelo ngoba basuka eGibhithe sebexotshwa abazabe besaba lesikhathi sokuzilungisela umphako.
Wɔduruu baabi a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdidi no, wɔde mmɔre a wɔamfa mmɔreka amfra a wɔde kɔeɛ no bi too burodo diiɛ. Na mmɔreka nni mu, ɛfiri sɛ, Misraimfoɔ no pamoo wɔn. Ɛno enti wɔannya mu ɛkwan anyɛ aduane a wɔbɛdi wɔ ɛkwan so.
40 Abako-Israyeli babehlale eGibhithe okweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu.
Israelfoɔ no tenaa Misraim mfeɛ ahanan ne aduasa.
41 Ekupheleni kwaleyominyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu kungeqanga suku wonke amaviyo kaThixo asuka eGibhithe.
Na ɛda a wɔdii mfeɛ ahanan ne aduasa no pɛ na Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa firii asase no so.
42 Kwathi ngoba uThixo walinda ngalobobusuku esakhupha abako-Israyeli eGibhithe, yikho-ke labo abako-Israyeli bonke kumele bawugcine umlindo lo behlonipha uThixo kuzozonke izizukulwane ezizayo.
Saa anadwo no ne ɛberɛ a Awurade yi too hɔ de gyee ne nkurɔfoɔ firii Misraim asase so. Enti, saa anadwo korɔ no ara na Israelfoɔ no yi de too hɔ sɛ ɛda a Onyankopɔn gyee wɔn no afirinhyia ɛda.
43 UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni, “Nansi imilayo yePhasika: Akungabi lamuntu wezizweni olidlayo.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Twam Afahyɛ no ho mmara ni: “Ahɔhoɔ biara nnwe odwammaa no ɛnam no bi.
44 Isigqili esithengwe ngemali singalidla nxa sesisokile,
Nanso, ɔsomfoɔ biara a wɔtee sika tɔɔ no no, sɛ wɔatwa no twetia deɛ a, ɔtumi we bi.
45 kodwa isihambi sezizweni lesisebenzi esiqhatshiweyo kabavunyelwa ukulidla.
Ɔpaani anaa ɔhɔhoɔ biara nnwe bi.
46 Kalidlelwe endlini eyodwa, kungabi lanyama ephumela phandle kwendlu. Akungabi lathambo elephulwayo.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe Twam Afahyɛ aboa biara wɔ efie baako mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe ɛnam no wɔ fie. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔwe ɛnam no fa biara wɔ abɔntene. Ɛnsɛ sɛ mobɔ dompe mu.
47 Isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli kumele siwugcine lumkhosi.
Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa di saa nkaeɛda yi berɛ korɔ mu.
48 Owezizweni ohlala phakathi kwenu nxa efuna ukulidla iPhasika likaThixo kasoke bonke abesilisa abahlala endlini yakhe. Lapho-ke usengahlanganyela adle njengomunye wenzalo yalelolizwe. Owesilisa ongasokwanga kangalidli.
“Ahɔhoɔ a mo ne wɔn te no nso, sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no nyinaa twa twetia ansa na wɔaba ne mo abɛdi. Na sɛ ɛyɛ saa a, wɔbɛyɛ deɛ wɔwoo wɔn too mu mu.
49 Umthetho lo ugoqela bonke abantu, abayinzalo yakini labezizweni abahlala phakathi kwenu.”
Saa mmara yi ka Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo te no nso.”
50 Bonke abako-Israyeli benza khona lokhu uThixo ayekulaye uMosi lo-Aroni.
Enti, Israelfoɔ no nyinaa dii Awurade mmara no so sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron no.
51 Njalo ngalelolanga uThixo wakhupha abako-Israyeli eGibhithe ngamaviyo abo.
Ɛda no ara na Awurade yii Israelfoɔ no firii Misraim asase so.
