U-Eksodusi 16
1 Basebesuka eElimi, lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yafika enkangala yeSini, ephakathi kweElimi leSinayi, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga yesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo elizweni leGibhithe.
Afei, wotu fii Elim baa Sin sare a ɛda Elim ne Bepɔw Sinai ntam no so. Wotu fii Misraim no, ɔsram a ɛto so abien no nnaawɔtwe abien so na woduu hɔ.
2 Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yakhonona imelana loMozisi loAroni enkangala.
Woduu hɔ no nso, nnipa no kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron se,
3 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kubo: Kungathi ngabe safa ngesandla seNkosi elizweni leGibhithe lapho sasihlezi embizeni zenyama, lapho sadla isinkwa sasutha; ngoba lisikhuphele kulinkangala ukuze libulale lelibandla lonke ngendlala.
“Sɛ yɛwɔ Misraim na anka Awurade rekunkum yɛn wɔ hɔ a, anka yɛpɛ. Na yenya nnuan bebree di wɔ hɔ. Nanso mode yɛn abegu sare so ha ama ɔkɔm rekum yɛn.”
4 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, ngizalinisela isinkwa sivela emazulwini; labantu bazaphuma ukubutha isabelo sosuku ngosuku lwaso, ukuze ngibalinge ukuthi bazahamba ngomlayo wami yini kumbe hayi.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Merebɛtɔ aduan afi ɔsoro abegu asase so ama wɔn. Obiara betumi akɔboaboa dodow biara a ɔpɛ ano ama nea obedi no da koro. Mede eyi bɛsɔ wɔn ahwɛ sɛ wobedi mʼahyɛde so anaasɛ wɔrenni so.
5 Kuzakuthi-ke ngosuku lwesithupha bazalungisa lokho abakulethileyo, njalo kuzabe kuphindwe kabili kulokho abakubuthayo insuku ngensuku.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn na nnaawɔtwe biara mu da a ɛto so asia no, wɔmmoaboa aduan no ano sɛnea daa wɔboaboa no no, mmɔho abien.”
6 UMozisi loAroni basebesithi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli: Kusihlwa, khona lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi ilikhuphile elizweni leGibhithe;
Enti Mose ne Aaron frɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa ne wɔn hyia ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anwummere yi, mubehu sɛ Awurade na oyii mo fii Misraim asase so.
7 njalo kusisa, khona lizabona inkazimulo yeNkosi, ngoba izwile ukukhonona kwenu limelene leNkosi. Thina-ke siyini ukuthi lisikhononele?
Sɛ edu anɔpa a, mubehu nʼanuonyam bebree; efisɛ wate sɛnea munwiinwii tia no no. Na yɛn ne hena a munwiinwii tia yɛn?
8 UMozisi wasesithi: Lapho iNkosi ilinika inyama yokudla kusihlwa, lesinkwa ekuseni, ukuze lisuthe, kungoba iNkosi izwile ukukhonona kwenu elikukhonona limelene layo. Ngoba thina siyini? Ukukhonona kwenu kakumelananga lathi, kodwa kumelene leNkosi.
Anwummere yi, Awurade bɛma mo nam awe, na wama mo aduan anɔpa, efisɛ wate mo anwiinwii a etia no no. Moannwiinwii antia yɛn, na munwiinwii tiaa Awurade.”
9 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Tshono kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Sondelani phambi kweNkosi, ngoba izwile ukukhonona kwenu.
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no nyinaa sɛ wɔmmra Awurade anim na wommetie wɔn anwiinwii no ho mmuae.”
10 Kwasekusithi uAroni esakhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, bakhangela ngasenkangala, khangela-ke, inkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala eyezini.
Enti Aaron frɛɛ wɔn boaa ano, na prɛko pɛ, wɔmaa wɔn ani so kyerɛɛ baabi a omununkum a ɛrekyerɛ wɔn kwan no wɔ no, Awurade fii mu daa nʼanuonyam kɛse no adi.
11 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 Sengizwile ukukhonona kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli; batshele uthi: Kusihlwa lizakudla inyama, lekuseni lisuthe isinkwa, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
“Mate wɔn anwiinwii no, ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Anwummere, mubenya nam awe na anɔpa nso mubenya aduan pii adi na mubehu sɛ mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, no.’”
13 Kwasekusithi ntambama kwenyuka izagwaca, zasibekela inkamba; lakusisa kwakulomlalela wamazolo uzingelezele inkamba.
Anwummere no, nnomaa pii bebuu so wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ na anɔpa no, obosu tɔ guu sare no so maa ɛyɛɛ fɔkyee.
14 Kwathi umlalela wamazolo usuwenyukile, khangela-ke, phezu kobuso benkangala into eyisigaqa encinyane, incinyane njengongqwaqwane emhlabathini.
Obosu no yowee no, nsinsenii nketenkete bi a ɛte sɛ sukyerɛmma beguu asase no so.
15 Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bezibona bathi omunye komunye: Yimana. Ngoba babengazi ukuthi kuyini. UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Kuyisinkwa iNkosi elinike sona ukuze lidle.
Israelfo no hui no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Dɛn ni?” Na Mose buaa wɔn se, “Ɛyɛ aduan a Awurade de ama mo sɛ munni no.
16 Le yinto iNkosi elilaye ngayo yathi: Ngulowo lalowo kabuthe kuyo okulingene ukudla kwakhe, i-omeri ngekhanda, njengenani lemiphefumulo yenu, ngulowo uzathathela abasethenteni lakhe.
Awurade aka se, ‘Obiara mmoaboa dodow biara a ɛbɛso ɔne ne fifo di no ano.’”
17 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njalo, babutha, omunye okunengi lomunye okulutshwana.
Enti Israelfo no fii adi kɔboaboaa aduan no bi ano. Ebinom faa pii na bi nso faa kakraa bi.
18 Sebelinganise nge-omeri, lowo owayebuthe okunengi kabanga lokusalayo, lowayebuthe okulutshwana kaswelanga; babutha, ngulowo lalowo okulingene ukudla kwakhe.
Wohwiee nea wɔaboaboa ano no nyinaa guu susukoraa mu no, na ɛdɔɔso sɛ obiara benya bi. Wɔn a wonyaa pii no, ebi anka, na wɔn a wonyaa kakraa bi no nso, ɛsoo wɔn. Ofi biara nyaa ne so ne ne de.
19 UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Kakungabi lamuntu otshiya kukho kuze kube sekuseni.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mommma ade nkye so.”
20 Kodwa kabamlalelanga uMozisi; kodwa abanye batshiya kukho kwaze kwaba sekuseni, kwasekuphethuza impethu, kwaba levumba. Ngakho uMozisi wabathukuthelela.
Nanso ebinom yɛɛ asoɔden maa ade kyee so. Ade kyee so no, na adɔ nsaammoa ma ɛbɔn enti Mose bo fuw wɔn yiye.
21 Bakubutha ukusa ngokusa, ngulowo lalowo okulingene ukudla kwakhe; lapho ilanga selitshisa, kwancibilika.
Afei na wɔkɔtase aduan no anɔpa anɔpa, na wɔtase dodow biara a, ɛso ofi biara. Na awia bɔɔ denneennen guu so no, aduan no nyinaa nanee.
22 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithupha babutha isinkwa esiphindwe kabili, ama-omeri amabili ngamunye. Njalo zonke izinduna zenhlangano zeza zamtshela uMozisi.
Da a ɛto so asia no, wɔtasee sɛnea wɔtase no daa no mmɔho abien. Wɔtasee susukoraa asia, nanso daa na wɔtase susukoraa abiɛsa. Mpanyimfo a wotuatua nnipa no ano no bebisaa Mose nea nti a aba saa.
23 Wasesithi kuzo: Lokhu yikho iNkosi ekutshiloyo: Kusasa yikuphumula, isabatha elingcwele leNkosi. Bhakani elizakubhaka, lipheke elizakupheka, konke lokho okuseleyo lizibekele kugcinwe kuze kube sekuseni.
Mose buaa wɔn se, “Efisɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ se, ‘Ɔkyena yɛ homeda. Ɛyɛ homeda kronkron ma Awurade a ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ yɛn nnwuma biara. Enti monnoa dodow biara a mopɛ nnɛ, na nea ɛbɛka no, munnyaw mma ade nkye so.’”
24 Basebekubeka kwaze kwaba sekuseni njengokulaya kukaMozisi. Njalo kakubanga levumba, kwakungelampethu kukho.
Na ade kyee so no, na nsaammoa biara nni mu na ɛmmɔn nso.
25 UMozisi wasesithi: Dlanini lokhu lamuhla, ngoba lamuhla kulisabatha leNkosi; lamuhla kaliyikukuthola egangeni.
Mose kae se, “Nnɛ, mo aduan ni, efisɛ nnɛ yɛ Awurade homeda enti aduan biara rentɔ ngu asase so.
26 Lizakubutha insuku eziyisithupha; kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, isabatha, kakuyikuba khona kulo.
Momfa nnansia mmoaboa aduan ano, efisɛ da a ɛto so ason no yɛ homeda enti morennya aduan biara saa da no.”
27 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa abanye babantu baphuma ukubutha, kodwa kabakutholanga.
Homeda no, nnipa no bi fii adi sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ aduan no bi, nanso na ebi nni hɔ.
28 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lisala ukugcina imilayo yami lemithetho yami?
Awurade bisaa Mose se, “Saa nnipa yi bɛyɛ asoɔden akosi da bɛn?
29 Bonani, ngoba iNkosi ilinikile isabatha, ngakho ilinika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sensuku ezimbili; hlalani kube ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, kakungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
Wonhu sɛ nnansia so no, memaa wɔn mmɔho abien sɛnea ɛbɛso wɔn nnaanu? Awurade se momfa da a ɛto so ason no sɛ homeda; montena mo ntamadan mu. Mummfi adi nkɔtase aduan mfi asase so.”
30 Ngakho abantu baphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
Enti da a ɛto so ason no, nnipa no homee.
31 Indlu yakoIsrayeli yasibiza ibizo lakho ngokuthi yimana; njalo kwakunjengenhlanyelo yekhoriyanderi emhlophe, lokunambitheka kwayo kwakunjengezinkwana eziyizipatalala eziloluju.
Israelfo no too aduan no din se Mana, ase ne “Ɛyɛ dɛn?” Ɛyɛ fitaa sɛ wusa aba na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ tetare a ɛwo wɔ mu.
32 UMozisi wasesithi: Le yinto iNkosi elaye ngayo ukuthi: Gcwalisani i-omeri ngayo igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu, ukuze zibone isinkwa engalinika sona ukuthi lidle enkangala ekulikhupheni kwami elizweni leGibhithe.
Mose kaa asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmfa aduan no susukoraa abiɛsa na wɔmfa nkosie wɔn adekorabea afebɔɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, nkyirimma behu aduan a Awurade de maa wɔn dii wɔ sare so bere a oyii wɔn fii Misraim no.
33 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Thatha inqayi eyodwa, ufake kuyo i-omeri eligcwele imana, uyibeke phambi kweNkosi, igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se ɔmfa kuruwa na ɔmfa mana lita abiɛsa ngu mu na ɔmfa nsie kronkronbea bi mma nkyirimma.
34 Njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, uAroni wayibeka phambi kobufakazi ukuze igcinwe.
Aaron yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnyɛ no na ɔnkora no wɔ Apam Adaka no mu wɔ kronkronbea hɔ.
35 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli-ke badla imana iminyaka engamatshumi amane baze bafika elizweni elakhiweyo. Badla imana baze bafika emngceleni welizwe leKhanani.
Enti Israelfo dii mana yi mfe aduanan kosii sɛ woduu Kanaan asase so a ɛhɔ de, na afumduan wɔ no.
36 I-omeri-ke ingokwetshumi kwe-efa.
Lita abiɛsa yɛ omer baako.
