< U-Eksodusi 13 >
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
2 “Ngahlukanisela wonke amazibulo esilisa. Konke okuzalwa kuqala phakathi kwabako-Israyeli kungokwami, kungaba ngumuntu loba isifuyo.”
“Kɔ Israelviwo ƒe ŋutsuvi gbãtɔ ɖe sia ɖe kple lãwo ƒe atsu gbãtɔwo ŋu nam; eɖanye ame alo lã o, tɔnyewoe!”
3 Ngakho uMosi wasesithi ebantwini, “Lugcineni lube lusuku lwesikhumbuzo lolu, ilanga elaphuma ngalo eGibhithe, liphuma elizweni lobugqili, ngoba uThixo walikhupha khona ngamandla amakhulu. Lingadli lutho olulemvubelo.
Mose gblɔ na ameawo be, “Ele be gbe si gbe miedzo le Egipte, eye miedo le kluvinyenye me la, nanye ŋkeke aɖe si dzi miaɖo ŋkui tegbetegbe, elabena Yehowa ɖe mi kple nukunu gãwo. Migaɖu naneke si me amɔʋãtike le la o.
4 Lamuhla ngenyanga ka-Abhibhi, liyasuka.
Egbe, ɣleti Abib me, miele ʋuʋum.
5 Kuzakuthi uThixo angalifikisa elizweni lamaKhenani, amaHithi, ama-Amori, amaHivi lamaJebusi, ilizwe afunga kubokhokho benu ukuthi uzalinika lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, kufanele liwugcine lumkhosi ngayonale inyanga.
Ne Yehowa kplɔ mi va Kanaantɔwo, Hititɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo ƒe anyigba si wòka atam na mia fofowo be yeatsɔ ana mi, anyigba ‘si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo’ dzi la, ekema miaɖu ŋkeke sia le dzinu sia me.
6 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo kuthi ngosuku lwesikhombisa lithakazelele umkhosi kaThixo;
Hena ŋkeke adre la, miaɖu abolo maʋamaʋã, eye le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, miaɖu ŋkekenyui na Yehowa.
7 kungabonwa lutho olulemvubelo phakathi kwenu, kuvele kungabonwa mvubelo elizweni lenu lonke.
Miaɖu abolo maʋamaʋã le ŋkeke adre mawo me; womakpɔ naneke si ʋã la le mia dome o alo akpɔ amɔʋãtike le miaƒe liƒowo me o.
8 Ngalelolanga ngulowo lalowo atshele indodana yakhe athi, ‘Lokhu ngikwenza ngenxa yalokho uThixo angenzela khona ekuphumeni kwami eGibhithe.’
Le gbe ma gbe la, migblɔ na mia viŋutsuwo be, ‘Mele esia wɔm ɖe nu si Yehowa wɔ nam, esi medo go le Egipte la ta.’
9 Lesisikhumbuzo kuwe sizakuba luphawu esandleni sakho lesikhumbuzo ebunzini lakho ukuthi umlayo kaThixo ube sezindebeni zakho. Ngoba uThixo wakukhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu.
Ŋkeke sia ɖuɖu anɔ na mi abe dzesi ene le miaƒe asiwo kple ŋkuɖodzinu le miaƒe ŋgonu, ale be Yehowa ƒe se la anɔ miaƒe nu me, elabena Yehowa kplɔ mi do goe le Egipte kple asi sesẽ.
10 Kalibosigcina lesisimiso ngesikhathi esimisiweyo minyaka yonke.
Eya ta miɖo ŋku nuɖoanyi sia dzi le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖi la dzi ƒe sia ƒe.
11 Nxa uThixo eselingenisile elizweni lamaKhenani walinika lona njengokuthembisa kwakhe kini lakubokhokho benu,
“Ne Yehowa kplɔ mi yi anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na mia fofowo ƒe geɖewo nye esi va yi, afi si Kanaantɔwo le fifia dzi la, miɖo ŋku edzi be,
12 kumele lahlukanisele uThixo konke okuzalwa kuqala yizo zonke izibeletho. Wonke amazibulo esilisa ezifuyo zenu ngakaThixo.
miaƒe viŋutsuvi gbãtɔwo katã kple lãtsu siwo katã aʋu dɔ nu na miaƒe lãwo la katã nye Yehowa tɔ. Ele be miatsɔ wo nɛ.
13 Lizahlenga izibulo likababhemi ngezinyane, kodwa nxa lingalihlenganga lephuleni intamo. Lihlenge njalo wonke amadodana enu angamazibulo.
Miate ŋu atsɔ agbo alo gbɔ̃tsu aɖɔli tedzitsu. Ke ne ame aɖe medi be yeawɔ alea o la, ele na amea be wòawu tedzi la. Ke ele be miaƒle viŋutsuvi ŋgɔgbeviwo katã ta.
14 Nxa indodana yakho ikubuza ngesikhathi esizayo isithi, ‘Kutshoni lokhu?’ ubokuthi kuyo, ‘uThixo wasikhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu, wasikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
“Ne mia viwo abia mi be, ‘Nu ka ta miewɔa nu siawo ɖo?’ la, ele be miagblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa tsɔ nukunu gãwo ɖe mí tso kluvinyenye me, tso Egiptenyigba dzi.
15 Kwathi uFaro eqholoza esala ukuthi sihambe, uThixo wabulala wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, awabantu lawezinyamazana. Yikho-nje nginikela kuThixo izibulo lesilisa lenzalo yonke ngiphinde ngihlenge wonke amadodana ami angamazibulo.’
Farao meɖe mɔ na mí be míadzo o, eya ta Yehowa wu woƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo katã, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa le Egipte, eya ta míetsɔa atsu sia atsu, si ʋu dɔ nu na dadaa, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa naa Yehowa. Ke woƒlea ŋutsuvi tsitsitɔwo katã ta.’
16 Lokhu kuzakuba njengophawu esandleni sakho lesibonelo ebunzini lakho ukuthi uThixo wakukhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu.”
Megale egblɔm na mi be ele be ŋkekenyui sia ɖuɖu nade dzesi mi abe Yehowa ƒe amewo ene, abe ɖe wòtsɔ eƒe nutɔnyenye ƒe dzesi ɖo ŋgonu na mi ene. Enye ŋkuɖodzi be Yehowa tsɔ ŋusẽ gã aɖe ɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi.”
17 UFaro esebavumele abantu ukuthi bahambe, uNkulunkulu kabakhokhelanga ngendlela edabula elizweni lamaFilistiya loba yona yayiquma. Ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi, “Nxa behlangana lempi mhlawumbe bangethuka babuyele eGibhithe.”
Esi Farao ɖe asi le ameawo ŋu be woadzo mlɔeba la, Mawu mekplɔ wo to Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi o, togbɔ be eyae nye mɔ kpuitɔ hafi, elabena Mawu gblɔ be ne aʋa dzɔ ɖe wo kple Filistitɔwo dome la, woatrɔ ta me be yewoatrɔ, agbugbɔ ayi Egipte.
18 Yikho uNkulunkulu wabahola ngendlela yenkangala eya oLwandle Olubomvu. Abako-Israyeli baphuma eGibhithe behlomele impi.
Ale Mawu kplɔ wo to gbegbemɔ la dzi ɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la nu. Israelviwo ʋu tso Egipte, nɔ akpababla me hena aʋawɔwɔ.
19 UMosi wawathwala amathambo kaJosefa ngoba uJosefa wayenze isifungo lamadodana ka-Israyeli wathi, “Ngempela uNkulunkulu uzalikhulula. Lapho-ke libowathwala amathambo ami lisuke lawo kule indawo.”
Mose tsɔ Yosef ƒe ƒuwo ɖe asi, elabena Yosef na Israelviwo ka atam le Mawu ƒe ŋkume be yewoatsɔ eƒe ƒuwo ɖe asi ne Mawu akplɔ yewo adzoe tso Egipte, abe ale si wòka ɖe edzi be Mawu awɔe ene.
20 Sebesukile eSukhothi bayamisa e-Ethamu indawo egudlene lenkangala.
Esi wodzo le Sukɔt la, woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Etam le gbegbe la to.
21 Emini uThixo wahamba phambi kwabo ngensika yeyezi ebahola endleleni yabo, kwathi ebusuku wabahola ngensika yomlilo ukubakhanyisela ukuze bahambe emini lebusuku.
