U-Eksodusi 15
1 Ngakho uMosi labako-Israyeli basebehlabelela lelihubo kuThixo: “Ngizamhlabelela uThixo ngoba uphakeme kakhulu. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ukuphosele ngamandla olwandle.
Pea naʻe toki hiva ʻe Mōsese mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae hiva ni kia Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “Te u hiva kia Sihova, he kuo ne ikuna fakamanavahē: ko e hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai kuo ne lī ki loto tahi.
2 UThixo ungamandla ami lehubo lami; useyikusindiswa kwami. UnguNkulunkulu wami, ngizamdumisa; uNkulunkulu kababa ngizamphakamisa.
Ko hoku mālohi mo ʻeku hiva ʻa Sihova, pea kuo hoko ia ko hoku fakamoʻui: ho hoku ʻOtua ia, pea teu teuteu moʻona ʻae fale nofoʻanga; ko e ʻOtua ia ʻo ʻeku tamai, pea te u fakahikihiki ia.
3 UThixo ulibutho; nguThixo ibizo lakhe.
ʻOku toʻa ʻa Sihova ʻi he tau: ko Sihova hono huafa.
4 Izinqola zikaFaro lempi yakhe ukuphosele ngamandla olwandle. Izikhulu zikaFaro ezithenjiweyo, zigalule oLwandle oluBomvu.
“Ko e ngaahi saliote ʻa Felo mo ʻene kautau kuo ne lī ki tahi: ko ʻene ngaahi ʻeikitau ongoongo kuo ne lōmakiʻi foki ʻi he tahi Kulokula.
5 Inziki zamanzi zibagubuzele; batshona ekujuleni njengelitshe.
Kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he loloto naʻa nau ngalo hifo ki he kilisi tahi ʻo hangē ko e foʻi maka.
6 Isandla sakho sokunene, Oh Thixo, saba lamandla obukhosi. Isandla sakho sokunene, Oh Thixo, sasihlikiza isitha.
“Ko ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻe Sihova kuo ongoongolelei lahi ʻi he mālohi; ko ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻe Sihova kuo ne laiki ke iikiiki ʻae fili.
7 Ebukhulwini bobukhosi bakho wabasakazela phansi abakuphikisayo. Wavulela ulaka lwakho oluvuthayo, lwabatshisa njengencwathi.
Pea ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi kuo ke fulihi ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻu hake kiate koe: naʻa ke fekau atu ho houhau, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e veve.
8 Ngokuphefumula kwamakhala akho amanzi aqoqana aba yinqwaba. Amanzi ageleza ngenhlokomo ema enza udonga; amanzi azikileyo ajiya enzikini yolwandle.
Pea ʻi he mānava mālohi ʻo hoʻo fofonga, naʻe tānaki fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻe tuʻu totonu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ha ʻesi, pea naʻe mohe ʻae loloto ʻi loto tahi.
9 Isitha sakloloda sathi, ‘Ngizabaxhuma, ngibedlule. Ngizakwaba impango; ngizazitika ngokungokwabo. Ngizakhokha inkemba yami, isandla sami sibabhubhise.’
Naʻe pehē ʻe he fili, ‘Te u tuli, te u lavaʻi, te u vahevahe ʻae koloa ʻoe vete; ʻe mākona ʻeku holi kiate kinautolu; teu unuhi hake ʻeku heletā, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe hoku nima ʻakinautolu.’
10 Kodwa wena wavuthela ngomoya wokuphefumula kwakho, ulwandle lwabasibekela. Batshona njengomnuso emanzini esabekayo.
Naʻa ke ifi ʻaki hoʻo matangi, pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tahi: naʻa nau ngalo hifo ʻo hangē ko e ukamea ʻi he loto moana.
11 Ngubani kubonkulunkulu bonke onjengawe, Thixo? Ngubani onjengawe, olobukhosi ebungcweleni bakhe, owesabekayo ngenkazimulo, owenza izimangaliso?
ʻE Sihova ko hai ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua, ʻoku tatau mo e ʻafiona? Ko hai ʻoku hangē ko e ʻafiona, ʻoku ke nāunauʻia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ke fakamanavahē ʻi he fakamālō, ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo?
12 Welula isandla sakho sokunene umhlabathi uziginye izitha zakho.
Naʻa ke mafao atu ho nima toʻomataʻu, naʻe folo hifo ʻakinautolu ʻe he kelekele.
13 Ngothando lwakho olungapheliyo uzabahola abantu obahlengileyo. Ngamandla akho uzabaholela endaweni yakho engcwele.
“Naʻe tataki atu ʻe he ʻafiona ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻae kakai ʻaia naʻa ke huhuʻi: kuo ke fakahinohino ʻakinautolu ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ki ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
14 Izizwe zizakuzwa zithuthumele; umhedehede ubahlukuluze abantu baseFilistiya.
ʻE fanongo ʻae kakai, pea manavahē: ʻe pukea ʻi he mamahi ʻae kakai ʻo Filisitia.
15 Izinduna zase-Edomi zizatshaywa luvalo, abakhokheli baseMowabi bafikelwe yikwesaba, abantu baseKhenani banyamalale nya!
ʻE ofo ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo ʻItomi; ʻe pukea ʻi he tetetete ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻo Moape; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani.
16 Ukwesaba lokuthuthumela kuzabehlela. Ngamandla engalo yakho, bazathula njengelitshe, abantu bakho baze bedlule, Oh Thixo, abantu owabadalayo baze bedlule.
ʻE tō ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kinautolu: ʻi hono lahi ʻo ho nima te nau longo mate pe ʻo hangē ha maka: kaeʻoua ke hoko atu ho kakai, ʻE Sihova, ke ʻoua ke hoko atu ʻae kakai, ʻaia kuo ke fakatau:
17 Uzabangenisa ubahlanyele entabeni yelifa lakho, indawo, Oh Thixo, owayenzela ukuthi uhlale kuyo, indawo engcwele, Oh Thixo, eyamiswa ngezandla zakho.
Pea te ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki ai, ʻo tō ʻakinautolu ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ho tofiʻa, ʻi he potu, ʻe Sihova, ʻaia kuo ke teuʻi ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ʻi he Potu toputapu, ʻE ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ho nima.
18 UThixo uzabusa kuze kube nini lanini.”
ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.”
19 Kwathi lapho amabhiza kaFaro, izinqola kanye labagadi bamabhiza sebengenile olwandle, uThixo wawabuyisa amanzi alo phezu kwabo, kodwa abako-Israyeli bona bazihambela badabula ulwandle phezu komhlabathi owomileyo.
He naʻe ʻalu ʻae hoosi ʻa Felo mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi ki tahi, pea naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu; ka naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he mōmoa ʻi loto tahi.
20 Khonapho uMiriyemu umphrofethikazi, udadewabo ka-Aroni, wathatha isigubhu sakhe ngesandla, bamlandela bonke abesifazane bephethe izigubhu begida.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Miliame ko e palōfita fefine ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻElone, ʻae kihiʻi lali kiliʻi manu ʻi hono nima; pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau fefine kotoa pē mo ʻenau ngaahi lali mo e meʻe.
21 UMiriyemu wabahlabelela wathi: “Mhlabeleleni uThixo ngoba uphakeme kakhulu. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ukuphosele ngamandla olwandle.”
Pea naʻe talia ʻakinautolu ʻe Miliame, ʻo pehē, “Mou hiva kia Sihova, he kuo ne ikuna fakamanavahē: ko e hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai kuo ne lī ki tahi.”
22 UMosi wasebahola abako-Israyeli basuka oLwandle Olubomvu baya enkangala yeShuri bengatholi manzi.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻIsileli mei he tahi Kulokula, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki he toafa ʻo Sua; pea naʻa nau fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻi he toafa, pea ʻikai ʻilo ha vai.
23 Kwathi befika eMara behluleka ukunatha amanzi akhona ngoba ayebaba. (Yikho indawo leyo kuthiwa yiMara.)
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki Mala, naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa inu ʻae vai ʻo Mala, he naʻe kona: ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ko Mala.
24 Abantu basebekhonona kuMosi besithi, “Sinatheni-ke manje?”
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te mau inu?”
25 UMosi wasekhala kuThixo, uThixo wasemtshengisa isigojwana. Wasiphosela emanzini, amanzi aphenduka aba mnandi. Khonapho uThixo wabenzela isimiso lomthetho, njalo khonapho wabalinga.
Pea naʻe tangi ia kia Sihova, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻakau, ʻaia naʻa ne lī ki he vai, pea naʻe melie ai ʻae vai: pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni, mo ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
26 Wathi, “Nxa lilalela kakuhle ilizwi likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lenze okulungileyo kuye, lilandele imilayo yakhe njalo ligcine lezimiso zakhe, kangisoze ngilehlisele iziga lezo engazehlisela amaGibhithe; ngoba nginguThixo olisilisayo.”
ʻO ne pehē, “Kapau te ke faʻa tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mo ke fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi hono ʻao, mo ke fanongo ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻai kiate koe hā mahaki ʻe taha, ʻi he ngaahi mahaki, ʻaia naʻaku ʻomi ki he kakai ʻIsipite: he ko au Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamoʻui koe.”
27 Basebefika e-Elimi lapho okwakulemithombo yamanzi elitshumi lambili khona, lezihlahla zelala ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Basebemisa khona lapho eduze kwamanzi.
Pea naʻa nau hoko ki ʻElimi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae luo vai ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo e ʻakau ko e paame ʻe fitungofulu: pea naʻa nau ʻapitanga ʻi ai, ʻo ofi ki he vai.
