U-Eksodusi 15
1 Khona oMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli bahlabelela lelihubo eNkosini; bakhuluma bathi: Ngizahlabelela iNkosi, ngoba iphakeme isibili. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.
Awo Musa n’abaana ba Isirayiri ne bayimbira Mukama oluyimba luno nga bagamba nti, “Nnaayimbiranga Mukama, kubanga awangudde n’ekitiibwa kingi. Asudde mu nnyanja embalaasi n’omwebagazi waayo.
2 INkosi ingamandla lehubo lami, isibe kimi lusindiso, lo nguNkulunkulu wami, ngakho ngizamdumisa, unguNkulunkulu kababa, ngakho ngizamphakamisa.
Mukama ge maanyi gange era lwe luyimba lwange, era afuuse obulokozi bwange. Ye Katonda wange, nange nnaamutenderezanga, ye Katonda wa kitange, nange nnaamugulumizanga.
3 INkosi yindoda yempi, iNkosi libizo layo.
Mukama mulwanyi; Mukama, ly’erinnya lye.
4 Inqola zikaFaro lebutho lakhe ikuphosele olwandle, lokhetho lwezinduna zakhe lwacwiliswa oLwandle oluBomvu.
Amagaali ga Falaawo n’eggye lye abisudde mu nnyanja; n’abaduumizi b’amaggye ge abalondemu basaanyeewo mu Nnyanja Emyufu.
5 Inziki zabasibekela; behlela ekujuleni njengelitshe.
Obuziba bubasaanikidde; basse okutuuka ku ntobo ng’ejjinja.
6 Isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sidunyisiwe ngamandla; isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sisiphahlazile isitha.
“Omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, Ayi Mukama, gwalina amaanyi n’ekitiibwa; omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, Ayi Mukama, gwasesebbula omulabe.
7 Njalo ngobukhulu bokuphakama kwakho uchithile abakuvukelayo; uthumele ulaka lwakho oluvuthayo, lwabaqeda njengezidindi.
Mu bukulu obw’ekitiibwa kyo, wamegga abalabe bo, wabalaga obusungu bwo, ne bubasiriiza ng’ebisasiro.
8 Langokuvuthela kwamakhala akho amanzi abuthelelwa; impophoma zema njengenqumbi; izinziki zajiya enhliziyweni yolwandle.
Omukka bwe gwava mu nnyindo zo, amazzi ne geetuuma; amazzi g’ebuziba ne geekwata ng’ekisenge wakati mu nnyanja.
9 Isitha sathi: Ngizaxotsha, ngifice, ngehlukanise impango; isiloyiso sami sizasutha bona, ngizahwatsha inkemba yami, isandla sami sizababhubhisa.
“Omulabe n’ayogera nti, ‘Ka mbagobe, mbakwate. Nnaagabana omunyago; mbeemalireko eggoga. Nnaasowolayo ekitala kyange, ndyoke mbazikirize.’
10 Waphephetha ngomoya wakho, ulwandle lwabasibekela; batshona njengomnuso emanzini alamandla.
Naye wakunsa embuyaga zo, ennyanja n’ebasaanikira. Bakka ng’ekyuma, ne basaanawo mu mazzi amangi ag’amaanyi.
11 Ngubani onjengawe, Nkosi, phakathi kwabonkulunkulu? Ngubani onjengawe olodumo ebungcweleni, owesabekayo ezindunyisweni, esenza izimangaliso?
Ani akufaanana, Ayi Mukama, mu bakatonda bonna? Ani akufaanana, ggwe, Omutukuvu Oweekitiibwa, atiibwa era atenderezebwa, akola ebyamagero?
12 Welulile isandla sakho sokunene, umhlaba wabaginya.
“Wagolola omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, ensi n’ebamira.
13 Ukhokhele ngomusa wakho lesisizwe osihlengileyo; wasihola ngamandla akho endaweni yakho yokuhlala yobungcwele bakho.
Mu kwagala kwo okutaggwaawo, abantu be wanunula olibakulembera. Mu maanyi go, olibatuusa mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu.
14 Izizwe zizwile, ziyathuthumela; umhelo ubabambile abahlali beFilisti.
Amawanga galikiwulira ne gakankana, ababeera mu Bufirisuuti balijjula ennaku.
15 Ngalesosikhathi izinduna zeEdoma zizasanganiseka, iziphathamandla zakoMowabi, ukuthuthumela kwazibamba, bonke abahlali beKhanani bazancibilika.
Abakungu b’omu Edomu balitangaalirira nga batidde; abakulembeze ab’amaanyi aba Mowaabu balikankana; abatuuze b’omu Kanani baliggwaamu endasi.
16 Ukwethuka lokwesaba kuzabehlela; ngobukhulu bengalo yakho bazathula njengelitshe, size sichaphe isizwe sakho, Nkosi, size sichaphe isizwe osithengileyo.
Okwesisiwala n’entiisa biribajjira. Olw’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi tebalinyega, balisirika ng’ejjinja okutuusa abantu bo lwe baliyitawo, Ayi Mukama, okutuusa abantu bo, be wanunula, lwe baliyitawo.
17 Uzabangenisa, ubahlanyele entabeni yelifa lakho, indawo oyenzileyo, Nkosi, ukuthi uhlale kuyo, indawo engcwele eziyimisileyo izandla zakho, Nkosi.
Olibayingiza n’obassa ku lusozi lwo lwe weerondera, kye kifo, Ayi Mukama kye weekolera mw’onoobeeranga, ekifo kyo Ekitukuvu, kye weekolera, Ayi Mukama, n’emikono gyo.
18 INkosi izabusa kuze kube phakade lanininini.
Mukama anaafuganga emirembe n’emirembe.”
19 Ngoba ibhiza likaFaro langena olwandle lenqola yakhe labagadi bakhe bamabhiza, iNkosi yasibuyisela amanzi olwandle phezu kwabo, kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle.
Embalaasi za Falaawo, n’amagaali ge, ne basajja be abeebagadde embalaasi bwe baayingira mu nnyanja, Mukama n’akomyawo amazzi ag’ennyanja ne gabasaanikira; naye nga bo abaana ba Isirayiri batambulira ku ttaka kkalu wakati mu nnyanja.
20 UMiriyamu umprofethikazi, udadewabo kaAroni, wasethatha isigujana esandleni sakhe; bonke abesifazana basebephuma ngemva kwakhe, lezigujana lemigido.
Awo Miryamu, nnabbi omukazi era mwannyina wa Alooni, n’akwata ekitaasa; n’abakazi abalala ne bamugoberera nga balina ebitaasa era nga bwe bazina.
21 UMiriyamu wasebaphendula wathi: Hlabelelani iNkosi, ngoba inqobe ngodumo. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.
Miryamu n’abayimbira bw’ati nti, “Muyimbire Mukama, kubanga awangudde n’ekitiibwa kingi. Asudde mu nnyanja embalaasi n’agyebagadde.”
22 UMozisi wasemkhokhela uIsrayeli eqhubeka esuka eLwandle oluBomvu, baphuma baya enkangala yeShuri; bahamba insuku ezintathu enkangala, kabatholanga manzi.
Awo Musa n’akulembera Isirayiri, n’abaggya ku Nnyanja Emyufu, ne bayingirira eddungu ly’e Ssuuli. Ne batambulira ennaku ssatu mu ddungu nga tebalabye ku mazzi.
23 Kwathi lapho befika eMara babengelakuwanatha amanzi eMara, ngoba ayebaba; ngakho ibizo layo lathiwa yiMara.
Bwe baatuuka e Mala, ne batasobola kunywa ku mazzi gaawo, kubanga gaali gakaawa: era eyo y’ensonga eyatuumisa ekifo ekyo Mala.
24 Abantu basebekhonona bemelene loMozisi besithi: Sizanathani?
Abantu ne beemulugunyiza Musa, ne bamubuuza nti, “Tunywe ki?”
25 Wasekhala eNkosini. INkosi yasimtshengisa isihlahla, asiphosela emanzini, amanzi asesiba mnandi. Yabamisela khona isimiso lesimiselo, lalapho yabalinga,
Musa ne yeegayirira Mukama; Mukama n’amulaga ekitundu ky’omuti. Bwe yakisuula mu mazzi, amazzi ne gaba malungi okunywa. Mu kifo kino Mukama we yabaweera ekiragiro kino n’etteeka, era n’abagezesa
26 yasisithi: Uba lilalela lokulalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lenze okulungileyo emehlweni ayo, libeke indlebe emilayweni yayo, ligcine zonke izimiso zayo, kangiyikwehlisela phezu kwenu lasinye sezifo engazehlisela phezu kwamaGibhithe; ngoba ngiyiNkosi elelaphayo.
ng’agamba nti, “Singa muwuliriza eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe n’obwegendereza, ne mukola ebyo by’alaba nga bituufu, ne mussaayo omwoyo ku biragiro bye, era ne mugondera amateeka ge, sigenda kubaleetako ndwadde n’emu, ng’ezo ze naleetera Abamisiri, kubanga nze Mukama, nze mbawonya endwadde zammwe.”
27 Basebefika eElimi lapho okwakukhona imithombo elitshumi lambili yamanzi, lezihlahla zelala ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa; basebemisa inkamba khona emanzini.
Awo ne batuuka mu Erimu, awaali ensulo ekkumi n’ebbiri, n’enkindu ensanvu; ne bakuba awo eweema zaabwe okumpi n’amazzi.
