U-Eksodusi 2
1 Kwasekusuka indoda yendlu yakoLevi, yathatha indodakazi yakoLevi.
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa nyũmba ya Lawi nĩahikirie mũtumia wa mũhĩrĩga wa Alawii,
2 Owesifazana wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana; eseyibonile ukuthi inhle, wayifihla inyanga ezintathu.
nake akĩgĩa nda, agĩciara kahĩĩ. Rĩrĩa onire kaarĩ kaana gathaka-rĩ, agĩkahitha nyũmba mĩeri ĩtatũ.
3 Kwathi engaselakuyifihla wayithathela isitsha semizi, wasibhada ngengcino langethara, wafaka umntwana kuso, wasibeka emihlangeni ekhunjini lomfula.
No rĩrĩa aaremirwo nĩgũkahitha rĩngĩ-rĩ, agĩgathondekera gĩkabũ gĩa ithanjĩ na agĩgĩthinga na rami. Agĩcooka agĩkomia kaana kau thĩinĩ wakĩo, agĩkahitha mathanjĩ-inĩ kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Nili.
4 Udadewabo wasezimisa khatshana ukuze azi okuzakwenziwa kuye.
Mwarĩ wa nyina na kaana kau aarũgamaga haraaya nĩguo one ũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgakora.
5 Kwasekusehla indodakazi kaFaro ukuyageza emfuleni; lamantombazana ayo ahamba eceleni komfula. Isibonile isitsha phakathi kwemihlanga, yathuma incekukazi yayo yasithatha.
Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩ wa Firaũni agĩikũrũka Nili nĩguo agethambe, nacio ndungata ciake ciaceerangaga kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ rũu. Nake akĩona gĩkabũ kĩu kũu ithanjĩ-inĩ, na agĩtũma ngombo yake ya mũirĩtu ĩkĩgĩĩre.
6 Kwathi isivula, yabona umntwana, khangela-ke, umfanyana wakhala inyembezi. Yasimhawukela yathi: Lo ngomunye wabafana bamaHebheru.
Agĩkunũra gĩkabũ kĩu na akĩona kaana kau. Agĩkaiguĩra tha tondũ nĩkarĩraga. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gaka nĩ kaana kamwe ga twana twa Ahibirania.”
7 Udadewabo wasesithi endodakazini kaFaro: Ngihambe yini ngiyekubizela umfazi omunyisayo kumaHebherukazi ukuze akumunyisele umfana?
Nake mwarĩ wa nyina na kaana kau akĩũria mwarĩ wa Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ngacarie mũtumia ũmwe Mũhibirania akũrerere kaana gaka?”
8 Indodakazi kaFaro yasisithi kuye: Hamba. Intombi yasihamba, yabiza unina womfana.
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, thiĩ.” Nake mũirĩtu ũcio agĩthiĩ, akĩgĩĩra nyina wa kaana kau.
9 Indodakazi kaFaro yasisithi kuye: Thatha uhambe lalo umntwana, ungimunyisele yena; njalo mina ngizakupha iholo lakho. Owesifazana wasemthatha umntwana, wammunyisa.
Mwarĩ wa Firaũni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya kaana gaka ũkanderere, nĩndĩrĩkũrĩhaga.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtumia ũcio akĩoya kaana kau agĩkarera.
10 Umfana esekhulile, wamletha endodakazini kaFaro, wasesiba yindodana yayo. Yasisitha ibizo layo yathi nguMozisi, yathi: Ngoba ngamkhupha emanzini.
Rĩrĩa kaana kau gaakũrire-rĩ, agĩgatwarĩra mwarĩ wa Firaũni nako gagĩtuĩka ta mũriũ. Agĩgeeta Musa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ ndakarutire maaĩ-inĩ.”
11 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku, uMozisi esekhulile, waphuma waya kubafowabo, wakhangela imithwalo yabo; futhi wabona umGibhithe etshaya umHebheru kubafowabo.
Thuutha wa Musa gũtuĩka mũndũ mũgima-rĩ, mũthenya ũmwe nĩathiire gũceera harĩa andũ ao maarĩ, nake akĩmabaara makĩrutithio wĩra na hinya. Ningĩ akĩona Mũmisiri akĩhũũra Mũhibirania, ũmwe wa andũ ake mwene.
12 Wathalaza ngapha langapha; esebonile ukuthi kakulamuntu, wamtshaya umGibhithe, wamfihla etshebetshebeni.
Nake acũthĩrĩria mĩena yothe na ndone mũndũ-rĩ, akĩũraga Mũmisiri ũcio, na akĩmũthika mũthanga-inĩ.
13 Waphuma langosuku lwesibili, khangela-ke, amaHebheru amabili esilwa; wasesithi kowonileyo: Umtshayelani umakhelwane wakho?
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ akiumagara na akĩona Ahibirania eerĩ makĩrũa. Akĩũria ũrĩa wogitanĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũraringa Mũhibirania wanyu nĩkĩ?”
14 Wasesithi: Ngubani okubeke ube yisiphathamandla lomahluleli phezu kwethu? Wena uzimisele ukungibulala yini njengalokho ubulele umGibhithe? UMozisi wasesesaba wathi: Isibili udaba luyaziwa.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wagũtuire mwathi na mũtuithania wa maciira maitũ? Anga nĩũreciiria kũnjũraga o ta ũrĩa ũrooragire Mũmisiri?” Nake Musa agĩĩtigĩra na agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ndĩrekire no nginya ũkorwo nĩũmenyekete.”
15 Kwathi uFaro eseluzwile udaba, wadinga ukumbulala uMozisi. Kodwa uMozisi wabalekela ubuso bukaFaro, wahlala elizweni leMidiyani; wahlala emthonjeni.
Rĩrĩa Firaũni aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akĩgeria kũũragithia Musa, nowe Musa akĩũrĩra Firaũni agĩthiĩ gũtũũra Midiani, kũrĩa aikarire thĩ hakuhĩ na gĩthima.
16 Njalo umpristi weMidiyani wayelamadodakazi ayisikhombisa; eza ukukha, agcwalisa imikolo ukunathisa umhlambi kayise.
Na rĩrĩ, Jethero mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Midiani aarĩ na airĩtu ake mũgwanja, nao magĩũka gũtaha maaĩ na kũiyũria mĩharatĩ manyuithie rũũru rwa mbũri rwa ithe wao.
17 Kwasekufika abelusi, bawaxotsha; kodwa uMozisi wasukuma, wawasiza wanathisa umhlambi wawo.
Arĩithi amwe nĩmookire na makĩingata airĩtu acio, no Musa agĩũkĩra, akĩmateithũra na akĩhe ũhiũ wao maaĩ.
18 Lapho efika kuRehuweli uyise, wathi: Kungani libuye masinyane kangaka lamuhla?
Rĩrĩa airĩtu acio maainũkire kũrĩ ithe wao Reueli-rĩ, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma mũcooke narua ũguo ũmũthĩ?”
19 Asesithi: Indoda engumGibhithe isophulile esandleni sabelusi; futhi yasikhela lokusikhela, yanathisa umhlambi.
Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũmisiri ũmwe nĩatũteithũrire kũrĩ arĩithi; o na nĩwe ũtũtahĩire maaĩ na atũheera mbũri ciitũ maaĩ.”
20 Wasesithi emadodakazini akhe: Kambe ingaphi? Kanti liyitshiyeleni indoda? Ibizeni, ukuze idle isinkwa.
Jethero akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Na akĩrĩ kũ?” “Mũmũtigire nĩkĩ? Thiĩi mũmwĩte, oke arĩĩanĩre na ithuĩ.”
21 UMozisi wasevuma ukuhlala lendoda; wasemnika uMozisi uZipora indodakazi yakhe.
Nake Musa agĩĩtĩkĩra gũikara kwa mũndũ ũcio, nake akĩmũhe mwarĩ wetagwo Zipora amũhikie.
22 Wasezala indodana; wayitha ibizo layo uGereshoma, ngoba wathi: Ngangingowemzini elizweni lemzini.
Zipora agĩciara kaana ga kahĩĩ, nake Musa agĩgeeta Gerishomu, tondũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Nduĩkĩte mũgeni bũrũri wene.”
23 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezinsuku ezinengi, inkosi yeGibhithe yafa. Labantwana bakoIsrayeli babubula ngenxa yobugqili, bakhala; lokukhala kwabo kwenyukela kuNkulunkulu ngenxa yobugqili.
Thuutha wa ihinda iraaya-rĩ, mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri nĩakuire. Andũ a Isiraeli magĩcaaya nĩ ũndũ wa ũkombo, na makĩrĩrĩra Ngai; nakĩo kĩrĩro kĩao atĩ mateithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũkombo gĩgĩkinyĩra Ngai.
24 UNkulunkulu wasesizwa ukububula kwabo, uNkulunkulu wakhumbula isivumelwano sakhe loAbrahama, loIsaka, njalo loJakobe.
Nake Ngai akĩigua gũcaaya kwao nake akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake na Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu.
25 UNkulunkulu wasebona abantwana bakoIsrayeli, uNkulunkulu wabazi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩona gũtangĩka kwa andũ a Isiraeli, nake akĩrũmbũiya ũhoro wao.
