Mosese'a nenemo, Jetro Midiani pristi ne'mofo sipisipi afu tamine meme afutami kva nehiankino, mago zupa, ana sipisipi afutamine meme afutami zamavareno ka'ma mopamofona mago kaziga asoparega afete vuno Anumzamofo agona, Horepi mago agi'a Sainaie nehaza agonare uhanati'ne.
2 Lapho-ke ingilosi kaThixo yabonakala kuye iphakathi kwamalangabi omlilo esixukwini. UMosi wabona ukuthi loba isixuku sasibhebha kasizange sitshe.
Anante Anumzamofo ankeromo'a, mago zafafina tevemo hagana hagana huno nerefi efore higeno, Mosese'ma keana tevemo'a hagana hagana huno te'neanagi, ana zafa tevea ore'ne.
3 Ngakho uMosi wacabanga esithi, “Ngizasondela ngiyebona isimanga lesi ukuba kungani isixuku singatshi silothe.”
Ana higeno Mosese'a amanage huno hu'ne, Ruzahu'za huno zafa tevea oreanki, anante vu'na ome kesue nehuno vu'ne.
4 Kwathi uThixo ebona ukuthi usesondele ukuba ayekhangela, uNkulunkulu wasememeza ngelizwi elaliphuma kulesosixuku wathi, “Mosi! Mosi!” UMosi wathi, “Ngilapha.”
Hagi Anumzamo'ma kegeno Mosese'ma kenaku vutava'o nehigeno'a, ana zafafinti Anumzamo'a kezatino, Mosesewe! Mosesewe! higeno Mosese'a ama mani'noe higeno,
5 UNkulunkulu wathi, “Ungasondeli. Khupha amanyathela akho, ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.”
Anumzamo'a asmino, Mago'anena eravao osunka, kagia anona kazufe atro, na'ankure menima oti'nana mopamo'a ruotage hu'nea mopare oti'nane.
6 Wasesithi njalo, “NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe.” Ngalokhu, uMosi wafihla ubuso bakhe ngoba wayesesaba ukukhangela uNkulunkulu.
Anante mago'ane Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra kafahe'i Anumzane, Abrahamu Anumzane, Aisaki Anumzane Jekopu Anumza mani'noe, huno higeno Mosese'a Anumzamofoma ke'zanku koro huno avugosa refite'ne.
7 UThixo wasesithi, “Impela ngilubonile usizi lwabantu bami eGibhithe. Ngibazwile bekhala ngenxa yezinduna zezigqili ezibancindezelayo, njalo ngiyakhathazeka ngokuhlupheka kwabo.
Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, tamage hu'na Isipi kumapi'ma vahe'niamo'zama mani'ne'za zmatazama e'neri'za zana, hago Nagra nege'na, zavi krafama hazana antahi'noe. Na'ankure kazokzo eri'za kva vahe zami'mo'za, zmatazama zamizazana ke'na antahi'na hu'noe.
8 Ngakho ngehlile ukuzabakhulula ezandleni zamaGibhithe ngibakhuphe kulelolizwe ngibase elizweni elilendawo enengi, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, endaweni yamaKhenani, amaHithi, ama-Amori, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi.
E'ina hu'negu, Nagra erami'na Isipi vahe hanavefinti zamavre fegu'a zmatre'na, masavenke huno knare zantfa hu'nea mopama, kaomofo amirine tumerimo'ma avi'mate'nea mopa Kenani vahe mopama, Hiti vahe mopama Amori vahe mopama Perisi vahe mopama, Hivi vahe mopama Jebusi vahe mopa, ra mopa zamigahue.
9 Ukukhala kwabako-Israyeli sekufikile kimi, njalo sengibonile lendlela amaGibhithe ababahlukuluza ngayo.
Menina antahio, Israeli vahe'mokizmi zavira nentahi'na, Isipi ma zamazeri havizama haza zana hago ke'na antahi'na hu'noe.
10 Ngakho suka uhambe. Ngikuthuma kuFaro ukuthi uyekhupha abantu bami abako-Israyeli elizweni laseGibhithe.”
E'ina hu'negu menina ege'na huganta'nenkenka Feronte vunka, Israeli vahe'ni'a, Isipi kumapintira zmavrenka atiramigahane.
11 Kodwa uMosi wathi kuNkulunkulu, “Kambe ngingubani ukuba ngiye kuFaro ukuyakhupha abako-Israyeli elizweni laseGibhithe na?”
Hianagi Mosese'a amanage huno Anumzamofona asmi'ne, Nagra iza'na Ferontera vu'na Isipitira, Israeli vahera zamavare'na atiramigahue?
12 UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Ngizakuba lawe. Lesi sizakuba yisibonakaliso sokuthi yimi engikuthumileyo: Nxa usubakhuphile abantu eGibhithe, lizakhonza uNkulunkulu kuyonale intaba.”
Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra tamage hu'na kagrane manigahue. Nagrama Israeli vahe zmavrenka atiramiogu'ma hugantoa zamofo avame'zana, Israeli vahe'ma Isipiti'ma ome zmavrenka atiramisunka, Nagrira monora ama agonare eme hunantegahaze.
13 UMosi wathi kuNkulunkulu, “Aluba ngifika kwabako-Israyeli ngithi kubo, ‘UNkulunkulu waboyihlo ungithumile kini,’ besebengibuza bathi, ‘Ungubani ibizo lakhe?’ Ngizakuthini kubo?”
Anante Mosese'a amanage huno Anumzamofona asmi'ne, Antahio, nagrama Israeli vahetegama vu'na, anage hu'na ome zmasamigahue, tamafahe'i Anumzamo tamagritega hunantege'na oema hanuge'zama nantahige'za, agi'a iza'ema hanage'na? na'ane hu'na zamasamigahue?
14 UNkulunkulu wathi kuMosi, “Nginguye Onguye. Lokhu yikho ozakutsho kwabako-Israyeli ukuthi, ‘Unguye ungithumile kini.’”
Higeno Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne, Nagra mani vava nehumo'na Nagrake Mani'noe, kagra amanage hunka Israeli vahera ome zamasamio, Nagre nehia ne'mo, hunantege'na tamagritega oe hunka huo.
15 UNkulunkulu wabuye wathi kuMosi, “Tshono kwabako-Israyeli uthi, ‘uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakhobe ungithumile kini.’ Leli libizo lami laphakade, ibizo engizakhunjulwa ngalo kusukela kusizukulwane kusiya kwesinye isizukulwane.
Mago'ane Anumzamo'a Mosesena asmino, Israeli vahera amanage hunka ome zamasamio, Ra Anumzamo'na tamafahe'i Abrahamu Anumzane, Aisaki Anumzane, Jekopu Anumzamo'a tamagritega hunantege'na oe. Ama'i nagimo'a mevava hanigeno, henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za ama ana nagimofona ahentesga hu'za antahinami vava hugahaze.
16 Hamba uyebuthanisa abadala bako-Israyeli uthi kubo, ‘uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, ka-Isaka loJakhobe, ubonakele kimi wathi: Bengilikhangele njalo ngikubonile okwenziwe kini eGibhithe.
Israeli kva vahera ome zamazeri tru hunka zmasmio, Ra Anumzamo'a tamafahe'i Anumzane, Abrahamune Aisakine Jekopune Anumzamo efore huno amanage huno nasami'ne, Nagra tamage hu'na tamagrikura nentahi'na, Isipi vahe'mo'zama hurmantaza zana ke'noe.
17 Futhi ngithembisile ukulikhupha osizini lwenu elikulo eGibhithe ngilise elizweni lamaKhenani, amaHithi, ama-Amori, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.’
Ana hu'negu Nagra huvempa hu'noa ke amage ante'na Isipi kumapima mani havizama hu'nazafinti tamavre fegu'ate'na tamavre'na Keneni vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ene, Perisi vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma Jebusi vahe'mokizmi mopa masevenke huno knare zanfta hu'negeno, kaomofo amirimo'ene tumerimo avite'nea mopafi tamavreno vugahie hunka ome zamasamio.
18 Abadala bako-Israyeli bazakulalela. Kuzakuthi wena kanye labadala liye enkosini yaseGibhithe lithi kuyo, ‘uThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru uhlangane lathi. Sivumele sithathe uhambo lwezinsuku ezintathu siye enkangala ukuyanikela imihlatshelo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.’
Kema hananana, Israeli kva vahe'mo'za ke ka'a antahigahaze. E'ina hnageta kagra Israeli kva vahe zamavrenka Isipi rankva nete vuta amanage huta asamiho, Ra Anumzana Hibru vahe'mokizmi Anumzamo tagrite eama hu'ne. Hagi muse hugantonanki knare tatrenanketa tagufa zagegnafina ka'ma kopina vuta Ra Anumzatimofontega ofa ome kre sramana vuntamaneno hutma asamiho.
19 Kodwa ngiyakwazi ukuthi inkosi yaseGibhithe ayiyikulivumela ukuthi lihambe ngaphandle kokuba incindezelwe yisandla esilamandla.
Hianagi Nagra antahi'noe, Isipi kini ne'mo'a tamatresnigeta ovugosaze. Hagi mago hankvenentake azamo'ma ha'ma rentesnigeno'a tmatresnigeta vugahaze.
20 Ngakho ngizakwelula isandla sami ngiwatshaye amaGibhithe ngazozonke izimanga engizazenza phakathi kwawo. Ngemva kwalokho, izalivumela lihambe.
E'inama hanige'na Nagra nazana erisga hu'na maka ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazana eri fore amu'no zamifina ha'nenke'za, tamatresnigeta vugahaze.
21 Njalo ngizakwenza amaGibhithe abe lomusa kulababantu, ukuze kuthi mhla lisuka lingahambi lingaphethe lutho.
Nagra Isipi vahe zamufina rantamagi taminenketa Isipi vahe'ma zamatreta, vanuta amne tamavapara ovugahaze.
22 Wonke owesifazane kacele kumakhelwane wakhe lakuye wonke owesifazane ohlala endlini yakhe izinto eziligugu ezenziwe ngesiliva legolide kanye lezigqoko ezizagqokwa ngamadodana lamadodakazi enu. Ngaleyondlela lizawemuka impahla amaGibhithe.”
Hu'neanagi maka Israeli a'nemo'za no magote nemanisnaza a'nanene no zamifi nemsesnaza a'ne'mokizmia silvane golire'ma tro'ma hu'nesaza zantamine, kukenagu enena zmantahigesage'za tamisagetma, ne' mofatmimofona eri hankre zmanteho. E'inama hanutma Isipi vahe'mofona knare fenozazamia eri hana hutma vugahaze.
