U-Eksodusi 13
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Ngahlukanisela wonke amazibulo esilisa. Konke okuzalwa kuqala phakathi kwabako-Israyeli kungokwami, kungaba ngumuntu loba isifuyo.”
“Te Israelfoɔ mmammarima ne aboa biara abakan ho ma me; wɔn nyinaa yɛ me dea.”
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.
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ yɛ ɛda a ɛsɛ sɛ mokae ɛda biara—ɛda a motu firii Misraim asase a na moyɛ nkoa wɔ so no. Awurade ayɛ anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ bebree akyerɛ mo. Enti, monkae sɛ, sɛ afe duru na moredi afahyɛ yi a, mommfa mmɔreka mfra mo aduane; na mommfa bi nkɔ mo afie nso mu koraa.
4 Lamuhla ngenyanga ka-Abhibhi, liyasuka.
Afe biara mu Abib bosome awieeɛ (bɛyɛ Ɔbenem awieeɛ), monkae saa atutena yi.
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.
Awurade de mo baa Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ nsase a ɛwoɔ ne nufosuo sen so a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo no so.
6 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo kuthi ngosuku lwesikhombisa lithakazelele umkhosi kaThixo;
Mobɛdi burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nko ara nnanson. Na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, monto ɛpono kɛseɛ mma Awurade.
7 kungabonwa lutho olulemvubelo phakathi kwenu, kuvele kungabonwa mvubelo elizweni lenu lonke.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara kora mmɔreka wɔ ne fie anaa mo asase no ahyeɛ so baabiara.
8 Ngalelolanga ngulowo lalowo atshele indodana yakhe athi, ‘Lokhu ngikwenza ngenxa yalokho uThixo angenzela khona ekuphumeni kwami eGibhithe.’
Ɛduru afirinhyia na moredi nna yi a, monkyerɛ mo mma deɛ enti a moredi saa afahyɛ no. Ɛyɛ afahyɛ a mode bɛkae deɛ Awurade yɛ maa mo ɛberɛ a motu firii Misraim asase so no.
9 Lesisikhumbuzo kuwe sizakuba luphawu esandleni sakho lesikhumbuzo ebunzini lakho ukuthi umlayo kaThixo ube sezindebeni zakho. Ngoba uThixo wakukhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu.
Saa afe biara mu nnawɔtwe afahyɛ yi, ɛnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ te sɛ agyiraeɛhyɛdeɛ a wɔde abɔ mo nsa ho anaa mo moma so sɛ nkae adeɛ. Momma Awurade mmara ntena mo anom, ɛfiri sɛ tumi kɛseɛ na ɔde yii mo firii Misraim.
10 Kalibosigcina lesisimiso ngesikhathi esimisiweyo minyaka yonke.
Afe biara, ɛrekɔ Abib (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) awieeɛ no, monni afahyɛ yi.
11 Nxa uThixo eselingenisile elizweni lamaKhenani walinika lona njengokuthembisa kwakhe kini lakubokhokho benu,
“Sɛ Awurade de mo ba asase a ɔhyɛɛ mo agyanom ho bɔ tete no a Kanaanfoɔ te so seesei no so a, monkae sɛ,
12 kumele lahlukanisele uThixo konke okuzalwa kuqala yizo zonke izibeletho. Wonke amazibulo esilisa ezifuyo zenu ngakaThixo.
mo mmammarima a wɔyɛ mmakan nyinaa ne nyɛmmoa mmakan a wɔyɛ mmarima no nyinaa yɛ Awurade dea. Enti momfa mma no.
13 Lizahlenga izibulo likababhemi ngezinyane, kodwa nxa lingalihlenganga lephuleni intamo. Lihlenge njalo wonke amadodana enu angamazibulo.
Motumi de odwan ba anaa abirekyie ba kɔsesa afunumu ba abakan. Na sɛ woyɛ wʼadwene sɛ woremfa afunumu no nni nsesa a, ɛsɛ sɛ wobu afunumu no kɔn mu kum no. Nanso mo mmammarima abakan deɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ motɔ wɔn ti.
14 Nxa indodana yakho ikubuza ngesikhathi esizayo isithi, ‘Kutshoni lokhu?’ ubokuthi kuyo, ‘uThixo wasikhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu, wasikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
“Na sɛ daakye bi mo mma bisa mo sɛ, ‘Yeinom nyinaa ase ne sɛn a, monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, Awurade nam anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ a ɔyɛeɛ so na ɔyii yɛn firii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim.
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.’
Na Farao mpɛ sɛ ɔma yɛn ɛkwan ma yɛkɔ enti, Awurade kumm mmammarima ne mmoanini a wɔyɛ mmakan a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa. Ɛno enti na yɛde mmammarima a wɔyɛ mmakan rema Awurade yi, nanso nnipa mmammarima mmakan no deɛ, wɔtɔ wɔn ti.’
16 Lokhu kuzakuba njengophawu esandleni sakho lesibonelo ebunzini lakho ukuthi uThixo wakukhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla amakhulu.”
Meti mu meka bio sɛ, saa afahyɛ yi bɛda mo nso sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn mma te sɛ deɛ ɔde nʼagyiraeɛhyɛdeɛ abɔ mo moma so sɛ ɔdedea. Ɛyɛ nkaedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ Awurade nam ne tumi kɛseɛ no so na ɔde yii yɛn firii Misraim.”
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.”
Akyire no, Farao maa nnipa no kɔeɛ. Ɛwom sɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa Filistifoɔ asase a ɛkwan no da mu tee kɔsi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so, nanso Onyankopɔn ma wɔfaa ɛkwan foforɔ so. Deɛ enti a Onyankopɔn ma wɔfaa ɛkwan foforɔ so no ne sɛ, na ɔsusu sɛ, ɛwom sɛ wɔkura wɔn akodeɛ deɛ, nanso sɛ wɔkɔ na wɔkɔhyia akodie bi a, wɔn aba mu bɛbu ama wɔasane aba Misraim.
18 Yikho uNkulunkulu wabahola ngendlela yenkangala eya oLwandle Olubomvu. Abako-Israyeli baphuma eGibhithe behlomele impi.
Enti, Onyankopɔn dii wɔn anim de wɔn faa ɛserɛ so kɔntɔnkyekwan a ɛrekɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no ho no so.
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 rekɔ no, ɔfaa Yosef nnompe de kaa ne ho kɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yosef ama Israel mma aka Onyankopɔn ntam sɛ, “Sɛ ɔreyi wɔn afiri Misraim a, wɔde ne nnompe bɛkɔ bi, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛyi wɔn afiri Misraim asase so.”
20 Sebesukile eSukhothi bayamisa e-Ethamu indawo egudlene lenkangala.
Wɔfiri Sukot no, wɔkɔkyeree sraban wɔ Etam ɛserɛ no ano.
21 Emini uThixo wahamba phambi kwabo ngensika yeyezi ebahola endleleni yabo, kwathi ebusuku wabahola ngensika yomlilo ukubakhanyisela ukuze bahambe emini lebusuku.
Awurade de omununkum kyerɛɛ wɔn ɛkwan awia na ɔde ogya nso kyerɛɛ wɔn ɛkwan anadwo. Enti na wɔtumi tu wɔn kwan no awia ne anadwo nyinaa.
22 Insika yeyezi emini loba insika yomlilo ebusuku kakuzange kusuke endaweni yakho phambi kwabantu.
Ɛberɛ biara na wɔhunu omununkum ne ogya no.
