1 Abantu basola ngobunzima ababelabo uThixo esizwa, kwathi ekuzwa lokho wathukuthela kakhulu. Kwasekusithi umlilo ovela kuThixo wavutha phakathi kwabo waze waqothula lezinye izindawo ezisemaphethelweni ezihonqo.
Ankyɛre biara na nnipa no firii aseɛ nwiinwii sɛ nneɛma nkɔ yie mma wɔn, na Awurade teeɛ. Nʼabufuhyeɛ kɔɔ wɔn so wɔ wɔn anwiinwii no ho. Yei enti, Awurade maa ogya bɛhyee beaeɛ a na wɔte hɔ no mfikyire.
2 Kwathi lapho abantu sebekhale kuMosi, yena wakhuleka kuThixo ngakho umlilo wadeda.
Wɔteateaam frɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmmɛgye wɔn. Mose bɔɔ mpaeɛ srɛɛ Awurade maa wɔn na ogya no dumiiɛ.
3 Indawo leyo yasibizwa ngokuthi yiThabhera, ngoba umlilo kaThixo wavutha phakathi kwabo.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin sɛ Tabera a asekyerɛ ne “Ahyeɛ”, ɛfiri sɛ, ogya a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn no hyee wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
4 Uquqaba lwabantu olwaluphakathi kwabo lwaqala ukufisa okunye ukudla, ngakho labako-Israyeli baqala ukulila bathi, “Aluba besingazuza inyama yokudla nje kodwa lokhu!
Misraimfoɔ a na wɔwɔ wɔn ntam no kɔn dɔɔ nneɛma pa a na ɛwɔ Misraim no. Yei amma Israelfoɔ no ani ansɔ baabi a na wɔwɔ hɔ no, enti wɔsuu sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛma yɛn aduane adi?
5 Sesikhumbula inhlanzi esasizidla eGibhithe kungelambadalo lamakhomane, amakhabe, amalikhi lemihlobo yonke yehanyanisi kanye legalikhi.
Ɛberɛ a na yɛwɔ Misraim no, na yɛnya ɛnam ne nsuomnam we. Saa ara nso na na yɛnya kokumba, ɛferɛ, gyeene ne galik nso die.
6 Pho khathesi lapha sesize singasakhwabithi lokudla; kasiboni lutho ngaphandle kwemana yonale zwi!”
Nanso, seesei deɛ, yɛn ahoɔden so ate na ɛda biara yɛnnya biribiara sɛ mana nko ara.”
7 Imana yayiphose ilingane lentanga yekhoriyanda ilombala ofana lowenhlaka.
Na mana no kɛseɛ te sɛ wisa aba na ɛsɛ ɛhyɛ a awaawae firi dubona ho agu fam.
8 Abantu babephuma bayeyibutha, bayichole kumbe bayigige. Babeyipheka embizeni kumbe benze amaqebelengwana ngayo. Yayinambitheka njengento ephekwe ngamafutha e-oliva.
Nnipa no tasee firi fam na wɔayam anaa wɔasi no waduro mu ama adane esiam. Wɔwie a, wɔnoa de bi yɛ taterɛ. Woka wʼano a, ɛte sɛ taterɛ a wɔakye wɔ nhahamma ngo mu.
9 Kwakusithi nxa kusiba lamazolo ezihonqweni ebusuku, imana layo ikhithika.
Anadwo bosuo mu na mana no tɔ.
10 UMosi wezwa abantu bendlu inye ngayinye bekhala, ngulowo esemnyango wethente lakhe. UThixo wathukuthela kakhulu, njalo uMosi wakhathazeka.
Mose tee sɛ mmusuakuo no nyinaa gyinagyina, atwa wɔn ntomadan ho ahyia resu. Yei hyɛɛ Awurade abufuo yie. Na anyɛ Mose nso abodwo koraa.
11 UMosi wathi kuThixo, “Kungani wehlisele ubunzima encekwini yakho na? Kuyini engikwenzileyo okungakuthokozisanga ukuze ungeleke ngobunzima babantu bonke laba na?
Mose bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woyɛ me saa na wode saa nnipa a wɔte seyie yi nyinaa adesoa abɛsoa me?
12 Ngingunina wabo na? Yimi engabazalayo yini? Kungani usithi ngibaphathe ngezandla zami njengomongikazi ephethe usane, ngibase elizweni lesithembiso owafunga ngalo kubokhokho babo na?
Wɔyɛ me mma anaasɛ me nso meyɛ wɔn agya? Yei enti na wode wɔn ama me sɛ menhwɛ wɔn sɛ nkɔkoaa kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛduru asase a wohyɛɛ wɔn agyanom ho bɔ no?
13 Ngingayithatha ngaphi inyama yokupha abantu bonke laba? Lokhu bengikhalela besithi, ‘Sinike inyama sidle!’
Ɛhefa na merekɔfa ɛnam abrɛ nnipa yi? Wɔsu kyerɛ me sɛ, ‘Ma yɛn ɛnam!’
14 Ngeke ngibathwale abantu bonke laba ngingedwa; umthwalo lo unzima kakhulu kimi.
Mʼankasa merentumi nsoa ɔman yi! Adesoa no mu yɛ duru ma me dodo!
15 Nxa kuyiyo indlela ozangiphatha ngayo, ngibulala khathesi, nxa ngifumane umusa kuwe, ukuze ngingaboni ukuhlupheka kwami.”
Na sɛ saa na wo ne me bɛdi no deɛ a, mesrɛ, kum me seesei ara; ɛbɛyɛ adom ama me! Yi me firi saa ahokyere yi mu!”
16 UThixo wathi kuMosi: “Ngilethela ebadaleni bako-Israyeli abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa obaziyo ukuthi bangabakhokheli futhi yizikhulu zabantu. Balethe ethenteni lokuhlangana ukuze bame lawe khonapho.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Frɛ Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ no mu aduɔson ma me; fa wɔn bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu na wo ne wɔn nnyina hɔ.
17 Ngizakwehla ngizekhuluma lawe khonapho, ngizathatha ingxenye yoMoya okuwe ngiwufake phezu kwabo. Bazakuncedisa ukuthwala umthwalo wabantu bako-Israyeli ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.
Mɛba hɔ na me ne wo abɛkasa na honhom a ɛwɔ wo so no, mɛfa na mede akɔgu wɔn nso so bi; ɛba saa a, wɔne wo bɛsoa nnipa no adesoa sɛdeɛ ɛrenyɛ wo nko ara wʼadesoa.
18 Tshela abantu uthi: Zingcweliseni lilungiselela usuku lwakusasa, lapho elizakudla khona inyama. UThixo ulizwile likhala kuye lisithi, ‘Ngubani ozasipha inyama ukuba sidle? Kwakungcono kithi siseGibhithe!’ Khathesi uThixo uzalinika inyama, njalo lizayidla.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔnnwira wɔn ho na ɔkyena, wɔbɛnya ɛnam awe. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Awurade ate mo sufrɛ a ɛfa nneɛma a mogyaa no Misraim no ho na ɔrebɛma mo ɛnam. Mobɛwe;
19 Aliyikuyidla okosuku olulodwa loba ezimbili, loba ezinhlanu, ezilitshumi loba ezingamatshumi amabili,
ɛnyɛ ɛda koro anaa nnanu anaa nnanum anaa dadu anaa adaduonu!
20 kodwa lizayidla okwenyanga yonke, ize iphume ngamakhala enu, ilitshiphele, ngoba limhlamukele uThixo ephakathi kwenu, njalo likhalile phambi kwakhe, lisithi, ‘Kanti sivele sasukelani eGibhithe.’”
Na bosome baako mu, mobɛwe ɛnam ara ma apuro mo ama afa mo hwene mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, moapo Awurade a ɔka mo ho wɔ ha no, na moasu ama Misraim nso.’”
21 Kodwa uMosi wathi, “Mina ngilapha phakathi kwamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ahamba ngezinyawo, kodwa wena uthi, ‘Ngizabanika inyama abazayidla okwenyanga yonke!’
Mose kaa sɛ, “Mmarima nko ara mpem ahansia na wɔwɔ ha, ɛnna woahyɛ wɔn bɔ sɛ wobɛma wɔn ɛnam awe ara bosome!
22 Bebengeneliswa na aluba bebehlatshelwe imihlambi yezimvu leyezifuyo? Babezakweneliswa na aluba begolelwe inhlanzi zonke zasolwandle?”
Sɛ yɛkum yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie nyinaa koraa a, ɛrenso wɔn so. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyere ɛpo mu ɛnam nyinaa ansa na yɛatumi adi wo bɔhyɛ no so!”
23 UThixo wamphendula uMosi wathi, “Kambe ingalo kaThixo imfitshane na? Uzabona-ke khathesi longabe yebo loba hayi ukuthi engikutshoyo kuzagcwaliseka kuwe.”
Na Awurade bisaa Mose sɛ, “Da bɛn na meyɛɛ mmerɛ? Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mʼasɛm yɛ nokorɛ anaa ɛnyɛ nokorɛ.”
24 Ngakho uMosi waphuma wayatshela abantu lokho okwakutshiwo nguThixo. Wahlanganisa abadala abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa wabamisa bahonqolozela ithente.
Enti Mose firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ kɔkaa nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔboaboaa mpanimfoɔ aduɔson ano ma wɔtwaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho hyiaeɛ.
25 Ngalokho uThixo wehla ngeyezi wakhuluma laye, yena wasethatha uMoya owawuphezu kwakhe wawethulela phezu kwabadala bebandla abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Kwathi uMoya usuphezu kwabo, baphrofitha, kodwa kabazange baphinde bakwenze emva kwalokho.
Na Awurade nam omununkum mu baa fam ne Mose kasaeɛ, na ɔfaa honhom a ɛwɔ Mose so no de guu mpanimfoɔ aduɔson no so. Ɛberɛ a honhom no baa wɔn so kakra no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm mmerɛ tiawa bi mu.
26 Kodwa-ke, kwakukhona amadoda amabili, kungu-Elidadi loMedadi ababesele esihonqweni. Lanxa babebalelwa ebadaleni, kodwa kabazange baphume ukuya eThenteni. Kanti-ke uMoya wawehlele phezu kwabo labo, njalo babephrofitha besesihonqweni.
Nanso na mpanimfoɔ aduɔson no mu baanu a wɔfrɛ wɔn Eldad ne Medad da so wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ. Na mmerɛ a honhom no baa wɔn so wɔ hɔ no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ hɔ.
27 Ijahana elincinyane lagijima layabikela uMosi lathi, “U-Elidadi loMedadi bayaphrofitha besesihonqweni.”
Mmeranteɛ bi tuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ Mose asɛm a asie no ho amaneɛ
28 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, owayekade engumsekeli kaMosi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe, waphakamisa ilizwi wathi, “Mosi, nkosi yami, bathulise!”
na Nun babarima Yosua a na wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ Mose ɔboafoɔ no ampene so, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Owura, ma wɔnnyae!”
29 Kodwa uMosi waphendula wathi, “Uyangikhwelezela na? Ngiyafisa ukuthi ngabe bonke abantu bakaThixo bangabaphrofethi njalo lokuthi UThixo wehlisele uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo!”
Mose bisaa no sɛ, “Me ho na woretwe ninkunu yi? Ɛkaa me nko a, na anka Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa yɛ adiyifoɔ a Awurade de ne honhom agu wɔn nyinaa so!”
30 Ngakho uMosi labadala bako-Israyeli babuyela ezihonqweni.
Afei, Mose ne Israel mpanimfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
31 Kwasekuphephetha umoya uvela kuThixo wathinta izagwaca zivela olwandle. Zakhithika zelekana ukusuka phansi okwezingalo ezimbili ezihonqweni, zendlaleka okomango ongahanjwa okosuku lonke inxa zonke.
Awurade bɔɔ ahum maa ɛde mmoko firi ɛpo mu bɛguu atenaeɛ hɔ ne ɛho mmaa nyinaa. Baabiara a obi bɛfa no, na nnomaa yi bi atu nenam asase ani bɛyɛ anammɔn ɛnan.
32 Mhlalokho emini lebusuku njalo langosuku olulandelayo abantu baphuma bayabutha izagwaca. Akekho owabutha izagwaca ezinganeno kwamahomeri alitshumi. Ngakho basebezichaya indawana zonke ezihonqweni.
Enti ɛda mu no nyinaa, nnipa kyekyeree mmoko no bi kunkumm wɔn awia ne anadwo ne nʼadekyeeɛ nso. Deɛ wannya bi no koraa na ɔnyaa susukora ɔha! Mmoko buu so wɔ atenaeɛ hɔ nyinaa.
33 Kodwa kwathi belokhu besayihlafuna inyama bengakayiginyi, ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha phezu kwabantu, njalo wabatshaya ngokubehlisela umkhuhlane.
Na nnipa no firii aseɛ wee mmoa no bi. Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ weeɛ no, Awurade bo sane fuu wɔn maa ɔde ɔyaredɔm kumm wɔn mu fa kɛseɛ no ara.
34 Ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiKhibhrothi Hathava, ngoba kulapho okwangcwatshwa khona abantu ababebukhali kokunye ukudla.
Enti wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin sɛ Kibrot-Hataawa a asekyerɛ ne, “Akɔnnɔ damena” ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a na wɔn ani bere ɛnam na wɔn kɔn adɔ Misraim tena no na wɔsiee wɔn wɔ hɔ.
35 Ekusukeni kwabo eKhibhrothi Hathava abantu bahamba baze bayafika eHazerothi bahlala khona.
Ɔman no tu firii hɔ kɔtenaa Haserot kakra.
