U-Eksodusi 18
1 Kwathi uJetro umpristi weMidiyani, uyisezala kaMozisi, esezwile konke uNkulunkulu ayemenzele khona uMozisi loIsrayeli isizwe sakhe, ukuthi iNkosi yayimkhuphile uIsrayeli eGibhithe,
Ankyɛ biara na Mose ase, Midian sɔfo Yetro, tee anwonwade a Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama ne nkurɔfo Israelfo ne Mose, ne sɛnea wayi wɔn afi Misraim asase so no.
2 uJetro uyisezala kaMozisi wathatha uZipora umkaMozisi emva kokumbuyisela kwakhe,
Mose de ne yere Sipora kɔe no, nʼase Yetro gyee no
3 kanye lamadodana akhe amabili; obizo lenye lalinguGereshoma, ngoba wathi: Ngangingowemzini elizweni lemzini;
a na ne mmabarima baanu ka ne ho. Mose too ne babarima a na ɔyɛ nʼabakan no din Gersom a ɔkyerɛ ase se, “Mabɛyɛ ɔhɔho wɔ ananafo asase so.”
4 lebizo lenye linguEliyezeri, ngoba uNkulunkulu kababa wayelusizo lwami, wangikhulula enkembeni kaFaro.
Na ne babarima a ɔto so abien no nso, ɔtoo ne din Elieser a ɔkyerɛ ase se “Mʼagyanom Nyankopɔn no yɛ me boafo. Ogyee me fii Farao afoa ano.”
5 UJetro uyisezala kaMozisi wasesiza lamadodana akhe lomkakhe kuMozisi enkangala, entabeni kaNkulunkulu lapho ayemise khona inkamba.
Yetro kɔsraa Mose. Ɔde Mose yere ne ne mmabarima baanu no kaa ne ho. Wodui no, na Mose ne nnipa no abɔ atenae wɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔw no ho.
6 Wasesithi kuMozisi: Mina, uyihlozala, uJetro, ngiza kuwe lomkakho lamadodana akhe amabili elaye.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wʼase Yetro reba abɛsra wo. Wo yere ne wo mmabarima baanu no ka ne ho.”
7 UMozisi wasephuma ukumhlangabeza uyisezala, wakhothama, wamanga. Basebebuzana impilakahle; bangena ethenteni.
Mose sɔre kohyiaa nʼase. Ɔkotow no nidi mu gyee no fɛw so. Wokyiakyiaa wɔn ho wɔn ho na wɔkɔɔ Mose ntamadan mu.
8 UMozisi wasemlandisela uyisezala ngakho konke iNkosi eyayikwenzile kuFaro lakumaGibhithe ngenxa kaIsrayeli, yonke inhlupheko eyabehlela endleleni, lokuthi iNkosi yayibakhulule.
Mose kaa nsɛm a asisi nyinaa kyerɛɛ nʼase no. Ɔkaa nea Awurade ayɛ atia Farao ne Misraimfo a ɔnam so agye Israelfo, ayi wɔn afi Misraim, asan ayi wɔn afi ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ mu no nso kyerɛɛ no.
9 UJetro wasethokoza ngakho konke okuhle iNkosi eyayikwenzele uIsrayeli, ukuthi yayimkhulule esandleni samaGibhithe.
Yetro tee nea Awurade ayɛ ama Israel, ne titiriw no, sɛnea oyii wɔn fii Misraim no, nʼani gyee yiye.
10 UJetro wasesithi: Ibusisiwe iNkosi elikhulule esandleni samaGibhithe lesandleni sikaFaro; eyakhulula lesisizwe ngaphansi kwesandla samaGibhithe.
Yetro kae se, “Nhyira nka Awurade sɛ wagye mo afi Misraimfo ne Farao nsam, na wagye ɔman Israel nso.
11 Khathesi sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi inkulu kulabo bonke onkulunkulu, ngoba endabeni abazigabisa ngayo yayiphezu kwabo.
Afei, mahu sɛ Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse sen onyame foforo biara, efisɛ wayɛ eyi ama wɔn a wɔde ahantan di wɔn so no.”
12 UJetro uyisezala kaMozisi wasethathela uNkulunkulu umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo; kwasekusiza uAroni labo bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli ukudla isinkwa loyisezala kaMozisi phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Yetro de ɔhyew afɔrebɔde bae, na ɔbɔɔ afɔre maa Onyankopɔn. Akyiri no, Aaron ne Israel mpanyimfo no baa Yetro nkyɛn. Wɔn nyinaa too nsa dii afɔreguan no wɔ Awurade anim.
13 Kwasekusithi kusisa uMozisi wahlala ukwahlulela abantu; njalo abantu bema phambi kukaMozisi kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwahlwa.
Ade kyee no, Mose tenaa ase fii anɔpa kosii anwummere tiee ntawntaw a asisi wɔ nnipa no mu.
14 Kwathi lapho uyisezala kaMozisi esekubonile konke akwenzela abantu wathi: Iyini linto oyenza ebantwini? Uhlalelani wedwa, labantu bonke bemi kuwe kusukela ekuseni kuze kuhlwe?
Mose ase no huu brɛ a ɔrebrɛ nnipa no ho no, obisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wopɛ sɛ wo nko ara wudi dwuma kɛse yi a enti nnipa gyina wo so saa ara fi anɔpa kosi anwummere yi?”
15 UMozisi wasesithi kuyisezala: Ngoba abantu beza kimi ukubuza kuNkulunkulu.
Mose buae se, “Nnipa no de akasakasa bi a asisi wɔn ntam bɛtoo mʼanim sɛ mimmisa Onyankopɔn hɔ akwankyerɛ.
16 Nxa belendaba, beza kimi, njalo ngahlulele phakathi komuntu lomakhelwane wakhe, ngibazise izimiso zikaNkulunkulu lemithetho yakhe.
Sɛ ntawntaw bi ba wɔn ntam a, wɔba ma misiesie. Mekyerɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn mmara ne nʼapɛde.”
17 Uyisezala kaMozisi wasesithi kuye: Into oyenzayo kayinhle.
Nʼase no kae se, “Nea woreyɛ no nye.
18 Isibili uzazidlakaza, wena-ke lalababantu abalawe; ngoba linto inzima kakhulu kuwe, kawulakukwenza wedwa.
Worekum wo ho na sɛ wuwu a, nnipa yi bɛyɛ dɛn? Mose, adwuma yi so dodo sɛ wo nko ara wobɛyɛ.
19 Khathesi lalela ilizwi lami; ngizakweluleka, njalo uNkulunkulu abe lawe. Wena kawube ngowabantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, wena ulethe izindaba kuNkulunkulu,
Tie fo a merebetu wo yi na Onyankopɔn behyira wo. Kɔ so ara si nnipa no anan wɔ Onyankopɔn anim na fa wɔn haw to nʼanim.
20 ubafundise izimiso lemithetho, ubazise indlela abamele bahambe ngayo, lomsebenzi abamele bawenze.
Kyerɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn akwan a wɔmfa so ntena ase.
21 Futhi wena ubone phakathi kwabo bonke abantu amadoda alamandla, amesabayo uNkulunkulu, amadoda eqiniso, azonda inzuzo engalunganga, uwabeke phezu kwabo, induna zezinkulungwane, induna zamakhulu, induna zamatshumi amahlanu, lenduna zamatshumi;
Na hwehwɛ nnipa bi a wɔyɛ nyamesurofo na wɔyɛ nokwafo a wɔmpɛ adanmudegye, na wɔn mu baako biara nyɛ nnipa apem so otemmufo. Ɛsɛ sɛ saa onipa no nya atemmufo du hyɛ nʼase na wɔn mu baako biara ahwɛ nnipa ɔha so. Na wɔn ase no, wobeyi atemmufo baanu a wɔbɛhwɛ nnipa aduonum so, na wɔn nso, atemmufo baanum bɛhyɛ wɔn mu biara ase na wɔatu nnipa du fo.
22 ukuthi zahlulele abantu ngaso sonke isikhathi; kodwa kuzakuthi lonke udaba olukhulu zizaluletha kuwe, kodwa lonke udaba oluncinyane zizalwahlulela zona, ukuze kube lula kuwe, njalo zizathwalisana lawe.
Ma saa nnipa yi nni wɔn ho ni na wonni nokware daa. Asɛm biara a ɛho hia anaa ɛkyere adwene no, wɔmfa mmra wʼanim. Wɔn ankasa nhwɛ nka nsɛm nketenkete a ɛbɛba wɔn anim no. Sɛ wofa saa kwan yi so a, adwuma no bɛyɛ mmerɛw ama wo, efisɛ woakyekyɛ nnwuma no ama wɔn.
23 Uba usenza linto, loNkulunkulu ekulawula, uzakuba lamandla okuma, njalo labo bonke lababantu bazabuyela endaweni yabo ngokuthula.
Sɛ wutie afotu no na Onyankopɔn nso pene so a, wubetumi agyina asɛm biara ano na asomdwoe aba.”
24 UMozisi waselilalela ilizwi likayisezala, wenza konke ayekutshilo.
Mose tiee nʼase afotu no dii so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
25 UMozisi wasekhetha amadoda alamandla kuye wonke uIsrayeli, wawabeka inhloko phezu kwabantu, induna zezinkulungwane, induna zamakhulu, induna zamatshumi amahlanu lenduna zamatshumi.
Oyiyii nnipa pa a wɔwɔ Israelman mu nyinaa de wɔn yɛɛ atemmufo—apem apem, ɔha ɔha, aduonum aduonum ne du du.
26 Zasezibahlulela abantu ngaso sonke isikhathi; zaletha kuMozisi indaba ezinzima, kodwa lonke udaba oluncinyane zalwahlulela zona.
Na wobuu ɔman no atɛn bere nyinaa mu. Wɔde nsɛm akɛse no maa Mose na wɔn nso dii nsɛm nketenkete no.
27 UMozisi wasemyekela wahamba uyisezala; waya elizweni lakibo.
Akyiri no, Mose gyaa nʼase kwan ma ɔkɔɔ ne kurom.
