U-Eksodusi 5
1 Emva kwalokho uMosi lo-Aroni baya kuFaro. Bathi kuye, “Sikulethele ilizwi elivela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabantu bako-Israyeli. Uthi, ‘Vumela abantu bami bahambe, ukuze bangenzele umkhosi enkangala.’”
Ergasii Musee fi Aroon Faraʼoon bira dhaqanii, “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Akka inni gammoojjiitti ayyaana naa ayyaanessuuf saba koo gad dhiisi.’”
2 UFaro wathi, “Ungubani uThixo okufanele ngimlalele ngivumele abako-Israyeli ukuba bahambe na? Mina kangimazi uThixo, njalo kangiyikubavumela abako-Israyeli ukuba bahambe.”
Faraʼoon immoo, “Akka ani isaaf ajajamee Israaʼelin gad dhiisuuf Waaqayyo kun eenyu? Ani Waaqayyo sana hin beeku; Israaʼelinis gad hin dhiisu” jedhe.
3 Ngakho-ke bona bathi, “UNkulunkulu wamaHebheru ubonakele kithi. Kumele sithathe uhambo lwamalanga amathathu siye enkangala ukuze siyenikela iminikelo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, funa asibulale ngemikhuhlane loba ngenkemba.”
Isaanis akkana jedhan; “Waaqni Ibrootaa nutti dhufeera. Akka nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessinuuf gara gammoojjiitti karaa guyyaa sadii nuu eeyyami; akkas taʼuu baannaan inni dhaʼichaan yookaan goraadeedhaan nu dhaʼa.”
4 Kodwa inkosi yaseGibhithe yathi, “Mosi lo-Aroni, kungani lisusa abantu emsebenzini wabo? Buyelani emisebenzini yenu.”
Mootiin Gibxi garuu, “Yaa Musee fi Aroon, isin maaliif saba kana hojii dhowwitu? Hojii keessanitti deebiʼaa!” isaaniin jedhe.
5 UFaro wasesithi, “Khangelani abantu sebebanengi elizweni, kodwa lina liyabamisa ukusebenza.”
Faraʼoonis ittuma fufee, “Kunoo sabni biyyattii amma baayʼateera; isin immoo hojii isaan dhowwaa jirtu” jedhe.
6 Ngalelolanga uFaro wathumela lelilizwi ezinduneni zezigqili ezazisebenzisa abantu wathi:
Guyyuma sana Faraʼoon akkana jedhee itti gaafatamtoota hojiitii fi qondaaltota sabaa ajaje;
7 “Lingabe lisabapha abantu utshani bokwenza izitina. Yekelani bayezidingela utshani babo kodwa lingehlisi inani lezitina okumele bazenze.
“Siʼachi xuubii hojjechuudhaaf saba kanaaf cidii hin kenninaa; isaan ofuma isaaniitii dhaqanii cidii haa barbaaddatan.
8 Kumele ukuthi batshaye inani abebelitshaya. Bangamavila, yikho besuka bakhale besithi, ‘Kasihambeni siyenikela kuNkulunkulu wethu.’
Garuu akka isaan lakkoobsa xuubii kan duraan hojjechaa turan sana hojjetan godhaa; hamma isaanitti ramadame hin hirʼisinaa. Isaan dhibaaʼoo dha; kanaafuu, ‘Nu dhaqnee Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessina’ jedhanii iyyaa jiru.
9 Yenzani umsebenzi ubenzima kwabesilisa ukuze baqhubekele phambili ngomsebenzi batshiyane lokulalela amanga.”
Akka isaan hojiidhaan qabamanii dubbii sobaatiif xiyyeeffannoo hin kennineef hojii isaanitti cimsaa.”
10 Izinduna zezigqili kanye labaphathi baphuma bayatshela abantu bathi, “Nanku esikulaywe nguFaro, uthi, ‘Kangisoze ngilinike utshani futhi.
Itti gaafatamtoonni hojiitii fi qondaaltonni sabaa gad yaaʼanii saba sanaan akkana jedhan; “Faraʼoon akkana jedha: ‘Ani siʼachi cidii isinii hin kennu.
11 Hambani liyesika utshani lapho elingabuthola khona. Kodwa umsebenzi wenu kawusoze uphungulwe lakancinyane.’”
Lafa itti argachuu dandeessan dhaqaatii ofii keessanii cidii barbaaddadhaa; hojiin keessan garuu gonkumaa hin hirʼatu.’”
12 Ngakho abantu bahlakazeka kulolonke elaseGibhithe, besika imihlanga ukuze bayisebenzise esikhundleni sotshani.
Sabni sun qooda cidii, haafa walitti qabachuuf jedhee biyya Gibxii guutuu keessa faffacaʼe.
13 Izinduna zezigqili zaqhubeka zibakhahlameza zisithi, “Qedani imisebenzi yansuku zonke njengalokho elalikwenza lisazuza utshani.”
Itti gaafatamtoonni sunis, “Isin hojii keessan kan guyyaa guyyaa akkuma yeroo cidiin ture sanaatti hojjedhaa raawwadhaa” jedhanii isaan jarjarsaa turan.
14 Abaphathi bezisebenzi bako-Israyeli ababekhethwe yizinduna zezigqili zikaFaro batshaywa bebuzwa ukuthi, “Kungani inani lezolo lelanamuhla lingenelanga njengakuqala?”
Israaʼeloonni qondaaltota hojii taʼan kanneen itti gaafatamtoota garboota Faraʼooniin muudamanis reebamanii, “Isin kaleessaa fi harʼa maaliif qooda xuubii kan akka hojjettaniif isinii ramadame sana akkuma duriitti hin guuttanne?” jedhamanii gaafatamaa turan.
15 Ngakho abaphathi bezisebenzi bako-Israyeli baya kuFaro bamncenga besithi, “Kungani uphatha izisebenzi zakho ngale indlela?
Israaʼeloonni toʼattoota hojii taʼanis dhaqanii akkana jedhanii Faraʼoonitti iyyatan; “Ati maaliif tajaajiltoota kee akkas goota?
16 Izisebenzi zakho kazinikwa utshani, kodwa sitshelwa ukuthi, ‘Tshayani izitina!’ Izisebenzi zakho ziyatshaywa, kodwa umlandu ngowabantu bakho.”
Cidiin tajaajiltoota keetiif hin kennamu; taʼus, ‘Xuubii hojjedhaa!’ nuun jedhan. Kunoo tajaajiltoonni kee reebamaa jiru; balleessaan garuu kanuma saba keetii ti.”
17 UFaro wathi, “Mavila, yikho eliyikho, mavila! Yikho lihlala lisithi, ‘Siyekele siyenikela kuThixo.’
Faraʼoonis akkana jedhe; “Isin dhibaaʼoo dha; isin dhibaaʼoo dha! Kanaafuu isin, ‘Nu dhaqnee Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessina’ jettan.
18 Buyelani emsebenzini. Akulatshani elizabuphiwa. Kodwa kumele lenze izitina ezifika inani ebelivele lilenza.”
Amma dhaqaatii hojjedhaa; cidiin isiniif hin kennamu; garuu xuubii isinitti ramadame hojjetanii guutuu qabdu.”
19 Abaphathi bezisebenzi bako-Israyeli bananzelela ukuthi babesebunzimeni obukhulu baze batshelwe ukuthi, “Kakumelanga lehlise inani lezitina okumele lilenze nsuku zonke.”
Israaʼeloonni toʼattoota hojii taʼan yommuu, “Isin lakkoobsa xuubii kan guyyaa guyyaatti akka hojjettaniif isin irraa eegamu sana hirʼisuu hin qabdan” jedhamee isaanitti himametti akka rakkina keessa seenan hubatan.
20 Sebesukile kuFaro, bafica uMosi lo-Aroni bebalindele.
Yeroo Faraʼoon biraa gad baʼanitti utuu Musee fi Aroon isaan eeganuu argatan;
21 Basebesithi, “uThixo kalikhangele alahlulele. Selenze ukuthi senyanyeke kuFaro lakuziphathamandla zakhe, lafaka inkemba ezandleni zabo ukuba basibulale.”
isaanis, “Waan isin akka Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltonni isaa nu xireeffatan gootanii akka isaan nu ajjeesaniif goraadee harka isaanii keessa keessaniif Waaqayyo isinitti haa ilaalu; isinitti haa murus!” jedhan.
22 UMosi wabuyela kuThixo wathi kuye, “Thixo, kungani ulethe uhlupho ebantwini laba? Yiso yini isizatho sokungithuma.
Museen gara Waaqayyootti deebiʼee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Gooftaa, ati maaliif saba kanatti rakkina fidde? Ati kanaaf na ergitee?
23 Selokhu ngaya kuFaro ukuyakhuluma ngebizo lakho, uselethe uhlupho ebantwini laba, njalo kawubahlenganga abantu bakho lakancane.”
Gaafa ani maqaa keetiin dubbachuuf Faraʼoon bira dhaqee jalqabee inni saba keetti rakkinuma fidaa jira; ati garuu gonkumaa saba kee hin furre.”
