2 Ngemva kokuba uMosi esethumele umkakhe uZiphora kibo, uyisezala uJethro wamemukela,
Mose'n jong anupa pa, Jethro heng'a ajinu Zipporah le achapateni chu asol'in, chuin amahon insung'a apuilut uvin ahi.
3 lamadodana akhe amabili. Eyinye indodana kwakuthiwa nguGeshomu, ngoba uMosi wathi, “Sengibe ngumuntu wezizweni elizweni elingayisilo lami.”
Mose chapa pengmasa min chu Gershom ahin, achapa apen lhah chun Mose'n hiti hin aseiye. “Mi gamsung'a khosa kahi,” tia ana minsah chu ahi.
4 Eyinye kwakuthiwa ngu-Eliyezari ngoba wathi, “UNkulunkulu kababa wayengumsizi wami: wangisindisa enkembeni kaFaro.”
Ani channa achapa min chu Eliezer asah in, Mose'n hiti hin aseije, “Keima khangluiya pat ka Pathen chun Pharaoh chemjam akon eihuh hing ahi,” tia asah ahi.
5 UJethro, uyisezala kaMosi kanye lamadodana lenkosikazi kaMosi beza kuye enkangala lapho ayehlala khona eduzane lentaba kaNkulunkulu.
Mose nupa pa, Jethro chu Mose vil lin gammang lam'a ahung tan ahile. Aman ajinu le achapa teni chu ahin puijin, Mose le amiten gamthip lah Pathen molsang kom'a ngahmun akisem nau mun'na ahinpha taovin ahi.
6 UJethro wayethumele ilizwi kuye wathi, “Mina uyihlozala uJethro ngiyeza kuwe lenkosikazi yakho lamadodana ayo amabili.”
Jethro'in jong Mose chu thu athot tan, “Keima Jethro nanupa pa kahin, keima nangma vil'a najinu le na chapa teni jaona hung kahi,” ati.
7 Ngakho uMosi waphuma wayahlangabeza uyisezala wasemkhothamela, wamanga. Babingelelana basebengena ethenteni.
Mose jong pamlam'a agache doh'in anupa pachu agakimu pitai. Amajong akum lhan abeng achop peh tan ahi. Hiti chun khat le khat akilem touvin Mose chen'na ponbuh sung'a alut taovin ahi.
8 UMosi watshela uyisezala ngakho konke uThixo ayekwenze kuFaro labantu baseGibhithe ngenxa yabantu bako-Israyeli langezinhlupho zonke ezabehlela endleleni lokuthi uThixo wayebasindise njani.
Mose'n jong anupa pa heng'a Pakaiyin ichangeiya Egypt gam'a konna Israel mite chung'a na-ahintoh ham ti thudol'a aseipeh'in ahi. Chule lamkah jouse'a thohgim hahsa athoh nau le agenthei najouseo abonchan anupa pa heng'a asei peh in ahi.
9 UJethro wathokoza ukuzwa ngezinto zonke ezinhle uThixo ayezenzele u-Israyeli ekubasindiseni esandleni samaGibhithe.
Pakaiyin Israelte ichangeiya Egypt mite khut'a kon ahin panpi hitam tithu le ahin huhdohna thudol phatah'a ahet chet phat'in alungthim akipah lheh jeng in ahi.
10 Wathi, “Kadunyiswe uThixo owalisindisa esandleni samaGibhithe loFaro, njalo owasindisa abantu esandleni samaGibhithe.
Jethro'n hiti hin aseiye, “Pathen thangvah in umhen.” “Ajeh chu Aman Pharaoh le Egypt mite akona nahin huhdoh jal in. Henge, Pakai bou chu ahiye Egypt mite thanei na konna na huh doh uva! ati.”
11 Khathesi sengikwazi ukuthi uThixo ulamandla ukwedlula abanye onkulunkulu ngenxa yokuthi wenza lokhu kubo bonke abaphatha u-Israyeli ngobuqholo.”
“Tun keiman ka hechen sel taije, Pakai hi pakai jouse lah a thanei chung nungpen Pakai ahiye. Ajeh chu Aman aban thahat apan'in Egypt mite akiletsah nauva kon'na ahin huhdoh ahi,” ati.
12 Lapho-ke uJethro, uyisezala kaMosi, waletha umnikelo wokutshiswa leminye imihlatshelo kuNkulunkulu, njalo u-Aroni weza labadala bako-Israyeli ukuze bazokudla isinkwa loyisezala kaMosi phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Chuin Jethro amachu Mose ding'a anupa pan jong Pathen angsung'a pumgo thilto kilhaina asem in ahi. Aaron le Israel sung'a upa ho ahung uvin Pathen angsung'a kilhaina ankong chu asoh khom uve.
13 Ngelanga elilandelayo uMosi wathatha isihlalo sakhe sokuba ngumthonisi wabantu, njalo bema bemgombolozele kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba ntambama.
Ajing nikhon Mose'n jong atouna a kon'nin mipiho thutan ding'in ahung doh tan ahile, mipiho jong chu nilhum keijin ading tauve.
14 Kwathi uyisezala esebone konke uMosi ayekwenzela abantu wathi, “Kuyini lokhu okwenzela abantu? Kungani uhlala unguwe wedwa ukuba ngumahluli, abantu bonke bemi bekuhanqile kusukela ekuseni kuze kube kusihlwa?”
Mose nupa pan, hitia mipiho chung'a athilbol amudoh phat'in aman Mose heng'a aseijin, “Hiche laimunna hi ipi mong mong tongdoh inge nati ham? Ipi bol mong inge natia jingkah'a kipat nilhah lamchangeiya mipiho hi nahiti din sah hitam?” ati.
15 UMosi wamphendula wathi, “Ngenxa yokuthi abantu beza kimi ukuzodinga intando kaNkulunkulu.
Mose'n adonbut'in ajah'a, “Ajeh chu mipiho hi kaheng'a hung uva Pathen akon kavai hopna hi akilah mang kigot uva ahi.”
16 Lapho kusiba lengxabano, ilethwa kimi, njalo ngiyahlulela emaceleni womabili besengibatshela ngemithetho lemilayo kaNkulunkulu.”
“Amaho hi ahung kinah komu le kaheng ahin jonlut jiuvin, chuteng keiman thu katan peh jiuvin, Pathen akon nun leh khan dan toh kitoh'a Pathen phatsah bang'a ka hilchen jiuva ahiye,” ati.
17 Uyisezala kaMosi waphendula wathi, “Konke okwenzayo kakulunganga.
Chuin Mose nupa pan ajah aseiyin, “na thilbol hi adih poije!” ati.
18 Wena labantu laba abeza kuwe lizazidinisa. Umsebenzi lo unzima kuwe: ungeke wawenza wedwa.
“Mipi ahin nangma nahin na bon'uva na gimna diuva ahi bouve ajeh chu nathilbol hi abeipon ahi. Nangma changseh adin thi lhah satah khat ahiye,” ati.
19 Ngilalela ngikucebise, njalo uNkulunkulu makabe lawe. Kumele ube ngummeli wabantu kuNkulunkulu, ulethe ingxabano zabo kuye.
“Tun keiman kahil nahiye, ajeh chu keiman kultah'a kahil nahi ngaijin lang Pathen'in naum pijing hen. Mipiho jouse khella hi Pathen ansung'a ding jing nahin, akibaotam nao jouse Pathen angsung'a na selhah ding ahijoi,” ati.
20 Bafundise izimiso lemithetho yakhe, ubatshengise indlela yokuphila lokuthi baziphathe njani.
“Mipiho hi Pathen akon chonna Danho le phatsahna ho hilchen in lang, hichu aboltei na diuva na thumop'a chule ajui cheh na diuva jong nasei ngaija ahi.”
21 Kodwa khetha amadoda alamandla phakathi kwabantu bonke, amadoda amesabayo uNkulunkulu, azonda inzuzo eza ngobuqili, ubusubabeka babe zinduna zezinkulungwane, zamakhulu, zamatshumi amahlanu, lezamatshumi.
“Ahinlah mipiho lah akonna thilbol thei miman tam, Pathen ging, nehguh chah guh beija natong thei ding nalhen doh ding ahi. Amaho chun mijakhat lah hihen sangkhat lah hihen jakhat lah hijong le aloi loija vaihomma na pansah ding ahiye.”
22 Benze babe ngabahluleli babantu ngezikhathi zonke, kodwa kabalethe wonke amacala anzima kuwe bona baqume amacala alula. Lokho kuzakwenza ukuthi umthwalo wakho ube lula ngoba bazabe besabelana lawe.
“Phat tinna mipi thutanna napan sah diu, thupi diuva thutanna ding aumvang le nangma heng'a hinpuiyun tin, thuneo hojouse vang chu amahon ama chamma atan lhah jeng theiju ahi. Nangma dia jong agom lam hijo ding chule amahon jong nangma nahin kithopi nau jong ahi,” ati.
23 Nxa ungakwenza lokhu njengokulaya kukaNkulunkulu, uzakwenelisa ukuphumuza ingqondo njalo abantu bonke laba bazabuyela emakhaya besuthisekile.”
“Hichengse hi na jui'a ahile, nangma chunga Pathen in tohding nahin peh teng doujou'na tha naneijoh ding chule mipihon jong lungmoung sella ama ama in cheh akile jut thei diu ahi.”
24 UMosi wamlalela uyisezala wenza konke ayekutshilo.
Mose'n jong anupa pa Jethro thusei chu angaijin, aman aseibang bang'in aboltan ahile apha lheh jeng tai.
25 Wakhetha amadoda alamandla phakathi kwabako-Israyeli wonke wawenza abakhokheli babantu, izinduna zezinkulungwane, ezamakhulu, ezamatshumi amahlanu lezamatshumi.
Israel mite lah akonin thilbol thei miman tam cheh alheng doh tan. Amaho chengse chu Israel mite lah'a lamkaija pang ding hichu mi sangkhat, jakhat chung'a vaihomin apan sah soh kei uve.
26 Baba ngabahluleli babantu ngazozonke izikhathi. Amacala anzima bawaletha kuMosi, kodwa alula bawathonisa bona ngokwabo.
Amaho chun kiphunna le baotam na nei ho chu Mose heng'a ahin lhut lut jiuvin ahi. Thuneo boina hovang chu amahon acham'un a sulham jiuvin ahi,
27 UMosi wavalelisana loyisezala, uJethro wasebuyela elizweni lakhe.
Hicheho jouse nung hin, Mose'n anupa pa asol in, anupa pa Jethro in jong alam pi ahung'na mama chu ahoh in akile tan ahi.
