U-Eksodusi 1
1 La-ke ngamabizo amadodana kaIsrayeli afika eGibhithe loJakobe; afika, ileyo laleyo lomuzi wayo,
Maqaan ilmaan Israaʼel kanneen maatii isaanii qabatanii Yaaqoob wajjin Gibxi dhaqanii kanaa dha:
2 uRubeni, uSimeyoni, uLevi, loJuda,
Ruubeen, Simiʼoon, Lewwii fi Yihuudaa;
3 uIsakari, uZebuluni, loBhenjamini,
Yisaakor, Zebuuloonii fi Beniyaam;
4 uDani, loNafithali, uGadi, loAsheri.
Daanii fi Niftaalem; Gaadii fi Aasheer.
5 Njalo yonke imiphefumulo eyaphuma ekhalweni lukaJakobe yayiyimiphefumulo engamatshumi ayisikhombisa. Kodwa uJosefa wayeseGibhithe.
Namoonni sanyii Yaaqoob irraa dhalatan walumaa galatti torbaatama turan; Yoosef durumaanuu Gibxi ture.
6 UJosefa wasesifa labo bonke abafowabo, lalesosizukulwana sonke.
Yoosefii fi obboloota isaa hundi, dhaloonni sun hundinuus, ni duʼan.
7 Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazalana, baba banengi, banda, baba lamandla kakhulukazi, ilizwe laze lagcwaliswa yibo.
Israaʼeloonni garuu horanii akka malee baayʼatan; baayʼataniis akka malee jabaatan; biyyattii keessas ni guutan.
8 Kwasekuvela inkosi entsha phezu kweGibhithe eyayingamazi uJosefa.
Ergasii mootiin waaʼee Yoosef hin beekin haaraan tokko bulchaa Gibxi taʼe.
9 Yasisithi esizweni sayo: Khangela, isizwe sabantwana bakoIsrayeli sinengi, futhi silamandla kulathi.
Innis saba isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Kunoo, Israaʼeloonni nu caalaa baayʼataniiru; nu caalaas jabaataniiru.
10 Wozani, asisihlakanipheleni, hlezi sande, njalo kuzakuthi lapho kusehla impi, laso sihlangane lezitha zethu, silwe simelene lathi, senyuke sisuke elizweni.
Kottaa akka isaan kana caalaa hin baayʼanneef, yoo waraanni kaʼes diinota keenya gargaaranii akka nu hin waraannee fi akka biyyattii keessaa baqatanii hin baaneef haxxummaadhaan isaan qabna.”
11 Ngakho bamisa phezu kwaso izinduna zesibhalo ukusihlupha ngemithwalo yabo. Njalo samakhela uFaro imizi eyiziphala, iPithoma leRamesesi.
Kanaafuu itti gaafatamtoota isaan cunqursanii hojii humnaa hojjechiisan isaanitti muudan; Israaʼeloonnis Fiitoomii fi Raamsee magaalaawwan waa itti kuusan godhanii Faraʼooniif ijaaran.
12 Kodwa kwathi ekusihlupheni kwaso kwang'khona sisanda, kwang'khona sisabalala. Ngakho banengwa ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Isaan garuu hamma cunqursaan isaanitti jabaachaa deeme sana baayʼatanii lafa guutan; kana irratti warri Gibxi saba Israaʼel sodaatan.
13 Njalo amaGibhithe abasebenzisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngochuku,
Warri Gibxis Israaʼelootatti gara jabinaan isaan hojjechiifatan.
14 aze enza impilo zabo zababa ngomsebenzi onzima, ngodaka langezitina, langawo wonke umsebenzi emasimini; ngomsebenzi wabo wonke, ababenza bawenza ngodlakela.
Isaanis suphee fi xuubii hojjechiisuudhaan, lafa qotiisaa keessas hojii garaa garaa hunda hojjechiisuudhaan hojii itti cimsanii jireenya isaanitti hadheessan; warri Gibxi hojii jabaa jara hojjechiisan hunda keessatti garaa isaaniif hin laafan ture.
15 Inkosi yeGibhithe yasikhuluma lababelethisi amaHebherukazi, obizo lowokuqala lalinguShifira, lebizo lowesibili lalinguPhuwa,
Mootiin Gibxi deessistoota Ibrootaa kanneen Siipaaraa fi Fuuhaa jedhamaniin akkana jedhe;
16 yasisithi: Nxa libelethisa amaHebherukazi, lapho libabona ezihlalweni zokubeletha, uba kuyindodana, liyibulale; kodwa uba kuyindodakazi, iyekeleni iphila.
“Isin yommuu dubartoota Ibrootaa daʼumsa irratti gargaartanii fi barcuma daʼumsaa irratti isaan argitan, yoo dhiira taʼe ajjeesaa; yoo durba taate immoo haa jiraattuu dhiisaa.”
17 Kodwa ababelethisi babemesaba uNkulunkulu, kabenzanga njengalokho yakhuluma kubo inkosi yeGibhithe, kodwa babayekela abafana baphila.
Deessistoonni sun garuu waan Waaqa sodaataniif, waan mootiin Gibxi isaanitti hime sana hin goone; ijoollee dhiiraas akka isaan jiraataniif dhiisan.
18 Inkosi yeGibhithe yasibiza ababelethisi, yathi kubo: Liyenzeleni linto ukuthi liyekele abafana baphile?
Mootiin Gibxis deessistoota sana ofitti waamee, “Isin maaliif waan kana gootan? Maaliifis ijoollee dhiiraa akka isaan jiraataniif dhiiftan?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
19 Ababelethisi basebesithi kuFaro: Ngoba amaHebherukazi kawanjengabafazi bamaGibhithe; ngoba alamandla, umbelethisi engakafiki kuwo, asebelethile.
Deessistoonni sunis, “Dubartoonni Ibrootaa akka dubartoota warra Gibxi miti; isaan waan jajjaboo taʼaniif utuu deessistoonni isaan bira hin gaʼin daʼanii nama eegu” jedhanii Faraʼooniif deebisan.
20 Ngalokhu uNkulunkulu wabenzela ababelethisi okuhle, labantu banda, baba lamandla kakhulu.
Waaqnis deessistoota sanaaf waan gaarii godhe; Israaʼeloonnis baayʼatanii akka malee jabaatan.
21 Kwasekusithi, ngoba ababelethisi bamesaba uNkulunkulu, wabakhela imizi.
Sababii isaan Waaqa sodaataniif Waaqni deessistoota sanaaf maatii ofii isaanii kenneef.
22 UFaro waselaya isizwe sakhe sonke esithi: Yonke indodana ezalwayo liyiphosele emfuleni, kodwa yonke indodakazi liyiyekele iphile.
Kana irratti Faraʼoon, “Ilma dhalatu hunda laga Abbayyaa keessa buusaa; durbi hundi garuu haa jiraattuu dhiisaa” jedhee saba isaa hunda ajaje.
