U-Eksodusi 2
1 Kwasekusithi eyinye indoda esizweni sakoLevi yathatha owesifazane ongumLevi,
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Lewini bi waree abaayewa bi firii Lewi abusuakuo mu.
2 wazithwala wabeletha indodana. Wabona ukuthi umntwana wayemuhle kakhulu, wasemfihla okwezinyanga ezintathu.
Ɔbaa no nyinsɛnee, woo abarimaa. Abɔfra no maame hunuu sɛ ne ho yɛ fɛ yie enti ɔde no siee efie abosome mmiɛnsa.
3 Kodwa kwathi lapho sekusehlula ukuthi amfihle, wenza isitsha semizi, wasibhada ngodaka lengcino. Wafaka umntwana phakathi kwaso wayasibeka okhunjini lomfula uNayili phakathi kwemihlanga.
Ɛduruu ɛberɛ bi no, na ɔde no sie a ɛnyɛ yie enti, ɔde mmɛwa nwonoo kɛntɛn bi de ɛhyɛ ne aman faa ho sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuo ntumi nkɔ mu. Ɔde abɔfra no too mu de no kɔsii asuo Nil konkɔn so wɔ wura a na ɛwɔ hɔ no bi mu.
4 Udadewabo wema bucwala ukuba abone okwenzakala kuye.
Abɔfra no nuabaa kɔgyinaa akyiri baabi a na ɔwɛn no.
5 Indodakazi kaFaro yehlela emfuleni ukuyageza, amantombazana ayikhangelayo ayehamba okhunjini lomfula. Yasisibona isitsha phakathi kwemihlanga yathuma incekukazi yayo ukuyasithatha.
Farao babaa kɔɔ nsuo no mu sɛ ɔrekɔdware. Ɛberɛ a ɔne ne mmaawa nam asuo no konkɔn so no, ɔhunuu kɛntɛn no sɛ ɛhyɛ wiram hɔ baabi, enti ɔsomaa ne mmaawa no mu baako sɛ ɔnkɔfa mmrɛ no.
6 Yasivula yambona umntwana. Wayekhala, yasimzwela usizi yathi, “Lo ngomunye wabantwana bamaHebheru.”
Ɔde baeɛ a ɔbuee so no, ɔhunuu sɛ abarimaa bi da mu a ɔresu. Asɛm no yɛɛ no awerɛhoɔ. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ yi binom ba.”
7 Udadewabo wasesithi endodakazini kaFaro, “Ngingayakudingela omunye wabesifazane bamaHebheru ukuthi akondlele umntwana na?”
Abɔfra no nuabaa a na ɔrewɛn no no kɔɔ ɔhene babaa no nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Menkɔfrɛ Hebrifoɔ mmaa no baako na ɔmmɛhwɛ no mma wo anaa?”
8 Yasisithi, “Yebo, hamba.” Intombazana yasuka yayabiza unina womntwana.
Ɔhene babaa no buaa sɛ, “Aane.” Enti, abaayewa no tuu mmirika kɔɔ efie kɔfrɛɛ abɔfra no maame de no baeɛ.
9 Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye, “Mthathe lumntwana ungondlele yena, ngizakupha isondlo.” Ngakho owesifazane wamthatha umntwana wamondla.
Ɔhene babaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa abɔfra no kɔ efie na kɔhwɛ no ma me na mɛtua wo ho ka.” Enti, ɔde no kɔɔ efie kɔhwɛɛ no.
10 Esekhulile umntwana, wamthatha wamusa endodakazini kaFaro wasesiba ngumntanayo. Yasimutha ibizo yathi nguMosi ngoba yathi, “Ngamkhupha emanzini.”
Ɔnyinii kakra no, ɔde no brɛɛ ɔhene babaa no ma ɔgyee no de no yɛɛ ne ba. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛto ne edin Mose ɛfiri sɛ meyii no firii nsuo mu.”
11 Ngelinye ilanga, uMosi esekhulile, waya lapho okwakusebenzela khona abantu bakibo, wabona ukuthi babethwele nzima kanjani. Wabona umGibhithe etshaya umHebheru, omunye wabantu bakibo.
Mose nyiniiɛ no, ɛda bi, ɔkɔsraa ne manfoɔ Hebrifoɔ no. Ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ ne manfoɔ no reyɛ adwumaden. Nsrahwɛ no mu na Mose hunuu sɛ Misraimni bi reboro Hebrini a ɔyɛ ne nua.
12 Wathi thala ngapha langapha wabona kungelamuntu, wasebulala umGibhithe wamfihla etshebetshebeni.
Mose hwɛɛ ha hwɛɛ ha hunuu sɛ obiara nni hɔ no, ɔkumm Misraimni no tutuu fam de no hyɛɛ hɔ.
13 Ngelanga elilandelayo waphuma njalo wabona amaHebheru amabili esilwa. Wasebuza lo owayephambanisile wathi, “Kungani utshaya owakini ongumHebheru na?”
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔsane kɔɔ Hebrifoɔ no hɔ nsrahwɛ. Ɔduruu hɔ no, na wɔn mu baanu reko. Ɔbisaa deɛ nʼasɛm nyɛ dɛ no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woreyɛ yi a worebobɔ wo nua Hebrini saa?”
14 Indoda leyo yathi, “Ngubani okwenze waba ngumbusi lomahluleli wethu? Usucabanga ukungibulala na njengoba ubulele umGibhithe?” Ngalokho uMosi wesaba wacabanga ukuthi, “Engxenye engikwenzileyo sekusazakala.”
Ɔbarima no nso bisaa no sɛ, “Wofiri he? Hwan na ɔde wo yɛɛ yɛn sodifoɔ ne ɔtemmufoɔ? Anaasɛ woayɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobɛkum me sɛdeɛ nnora wokumm Misraimni no?” Mose hunuu sɛ bɔne a wayɛ no ho ada hɔ no, ɔsuroeɛ.
15 Kwathi uFaro ekuzwa lokho, wazama ukubulala uMosi, kodwa uMosi wabalekela eMidiyani, lapho afika khona wahlala phansi eduze komthombo.
Na Farao nso tee asɛm no, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔnkɔfa Mose mmra na wɔnkum no. Nanso, Mose dwane kɔɔ Midian asase so. Ɛda bi a Mose kɔtenaa abura bi ho wɔ hɔ no,
16 Umphristi waseMidiyani wayelamadodakazi ayisikhombisa, afika ezokukha amanzi lokukhelela imikolo ukuze anathise izimvu zikayise.
Midian ɔsɔfoɔ mmammaa baason bi baa hɔ sɛ wɔrebɛto nsuo de akɔma wɔn agya nnwan.
17 Kwafika abelusi abathile bawaxotsha, kodwa uMosi wasukuma wawalamulela wanathisa izimvu zawo.
Nanso, nnwanhwɛfoɔ bi pampam mmaayewa no. Mose bɛgyee wɔn firii nnwanhwɛfoɔ no nsam maa mmaayewa no nnwan no nyaa nsuo nomeeɛ.
18 Kwathi izintombi sezibuyele kuyise eRuweli wazibuza esithi, “Kungani lamhla liphangisile ukuphenduka?”
Wɔsane kɔduruu wɔn agya Reuel nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na ɛnnɛ deɛ monyaa nsuo maa nnwan yi nom ntɛm seyie?”
19 Zaphendula zathi, “KulomGibhithe osilamulele kubelusi. Uze wasikhelela amanzi wanathisa lezimvu zethu.”
Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn agya sɛ, “Misraimni bi na ɔgyee yɛn firii nnwanhwɛfoɔ no nsam. Ɔno ara na ɔtoo nsuo maa yɛn nnwan no nomeeɛ.”
20 Wawabuza amadodakazi akhe wathi, “Ungaphi? Limtshiyeleni? Mbizeni ukuze azothola okokudla.”
Wɔn agya bisaa sɛ, “Na ɔwɔ he? Mogyaa no hɔ anaa? Monkɔfrɛ no na ɔmmɛdidi.”
21 UMosi wavuma ukuzehlala lale indoda, eyamnika indodakazi yayo uZiphora ukuthi abe ngumkakhe.
Mose kɔɔ Reuel frɛ no. Akyire yi no, ɔne wɔn kɔtenaeɛ ma Reuel de ne babaa Sipora maa no awadeɛ.
22 UZiphora wazala indodana, uMosi wayitha ibizo wathi nguGeshomu ngoba esithi, “Sengibe ngumuntu wezizweni endaweni yabezizweni.”
Wɔwoo ɔbabarima ma Mose too no edin Gersom, aseɛ ne Ɔhɔhoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Mose kyerɛ aseɛ sɛ, “Meyɛ ɔhɔhoɔ wɔ ananafoɔ asase so.”
23 Emva kwesikhathi eside, inkosi yaseGibhithe yafa. Abako-Israyeli bakhala babubula ebugqilini babo, kwasekusithi ukukhala kwabo becela usizo ngenxa yobugqili ababekubo kwafinyelela kuNkulunkulu.
Mfeɛ bi akyiri no, Misraimhene no wuiɛ. Na Israelfoɔ no resi apinie wɔ wɔn nkoasom no mu. Enti na wɔresu frɛ Onyankopɔn.
24 UNkulunkulu wakuzwa ukububula kwabo wasekhumbula isivumelwano asenza lo-Abhrahama, lo-Isaka loJakhobe.
Onyankopɔn nso tiee wɔn sufrɛ no, kae ɛbɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ ɔde nʼasefoɔ bɛsane aba Kanaan asase so no.
25 Ngakho uNkulunkulu wakhangela abako-Israyeli, wakhathazeka ngabo.
Onyankopɔn hwɛ hunuu sɛ ɛberɛ aduru sɛ ɔgye wɔn.
