U-Eksodusi 32
1 Abantu sebebonile ukuthi uMozisi uphuzile ukwehla entabeni, abantu babuthana kuAroni bathi kuye: Sukuma, usenzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, indoda eyasikhuphula elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi yehlelwe yini.
Mose kyɛree wɔ bepɔ no so saa no, nnipa no nyinaa kɔɔ Aaron so kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ntɛm, yɛ anyame a wɔbɛdi yɛn anim ma yɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛnhunu baabi a Mose a ɔdii yɛn anim de yɛn firi Misraim asase so baa ha no afa; ebia na biribi ayɛ no.”
2 UAroni wasesithi kubo: Qamulani amacici egolide asendlebeni zabomkenu, zamadodana enu, lezamadodakazi enu, liwalethe kimi.
Aaron nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monyiyi mo sika nsonkawa nyinaa mmra.”
3 Bonke abantu basebeqamula amacici egolide ayesendlebeni zabo, bawaletha kuAroni.
Wɔyiyii wɔn nsonkawa no maa Aaron—mmaa ne mmarima ne mmarimaa ne mmaayewa nyinaa.
4 Wawemukela ezandleni zabo, walibumba ngesikhali sokukhanda, wawenza aba lithole elibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa. Basebesithi: Laba ngonkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphule elizweni leGibhithe.
Aaron nanee sikakɔkɔɔ nsonkawa no de bɔɔ nantwie ba ohoni. Nnipa no nyinaa teaam sɛ, “Ao, Israel, yei ne mo anyame a ɔyii mo firii Misraim asase so baeɛ no.”
5 UAroni eselibonile wakha ilathi phambi kwalo; uAroni wamemezela wathi: Kusasa kuzakuba khona umkhosi weNkosi.
Aaron hunuu sɛ nnipa no ani agye sika nantwie ba ohoni no ho no, ɔsii afɔrebukyia sii nantwie ba no anim kaa sɛ, “Ɔkyena yɛbɛhyɛ fa ama Awurade.”
6 Basebevuka ekuseni kakhulu, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa, basondeza iminikelo yokuthula; abantu bahlala phansi ukudla lokunatha, basebesukuma ukudlala.
Wɔsɔree anɔpahema firii aseɛ bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ de maa nantwie ba ohoni no. Ɛno akyi, wɔtoo ɛpono kɛseɛ bi, didi nomee, goroo abosomgorɔ, yɛɛ ahuhudeɛ hodoɔ.
7 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Hamba wehle, ngoba abantu bakho owabakhuphula elizweni leGibhithe bonakalisile;
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Yɛ ntɛm na siane kɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ a wode wɔn firi Misraim asase so baeɛ no nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔagu wɔn ho fi,
8 baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabalaya ngayo; bazenzele ithole elibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa, balikhonza, balihlabela, bathi: Laba ngonkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphule elizweni leGibhithe.
na wɔabu me mmara nyinaa nso so. Wɔayɛ sika nantwie ba a wɔsom no, asane abɔ afɔdeɛ nso ama no aka sɛ, ‘Ao, Israel, yei ne mo nyame a ɔyii mo firii Misraim asase so baeɛ no.’”
9 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibabonile lababantu, khangela-ke, bangabantu abantamo zilukhuni.
Awurade kaa sɛ, “Mahunu sɛdeɛ saa nnipa yi yɛ asoɔden na wɔsane yɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ fa.
10 Khathesi-ke ngiyekela ukuze ulaka lwami lubavuthele, ngibaqede; kodwa wena ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu.
Enti afei, mede mʼabufuhyeɛ bɛtɔre wɔn ase na mama wo Mose mmom ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.”
11 Kodwa uMozisi wancenga ubuso beNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe wathi: Kungani, Nkosi, ulaka lwakho lubavuthela abantu bakho owabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe ngamandla amakhulu langesandla esiqinileyo?
Nanso, Mose srɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnnyɛ saa. Ɔkɔɔ so sɛ, “Awurade, adɛn enti na wo bo afu atia wo ara wo nkurɔfoɔ a wonam anwanwakwan ne wo tumi so yii wɔn firii Misraim asase so yi?
12 Kungani amaGibhithe ezakhuluma athi: Wabakhuphela ububi ukubabulala ezintabeni, lokubaqeda ebusweni bomhlaba? Phenduka ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho, uzisole ngobubi obumelene labantu bakho.
Wopɛ sɛ Misraimfoɔ no ka sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn daadaa wɔn sɛ wɔmmra bepɔ no so sɛdeɛ ɔbɛnya wɔn akum wɔn, atɔre wɔn ase afiri asase so?’ Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam na gyae adwene a woafa sɛ wode rebɛtia wo nkurɔfoɔ no.
13 Khumbula uAbrahama, uIsaka loIsrayeli, inceku zakho, owazifunga wena kizo wathi kuzo: Ngizakwandisa inzalo yenu njengezinkanyezi zamazulu, lalelilizwe lonke engikhulume ngalo, ngizalipha inzalo yenu, njalo bazalidla ilifa lalo kuze kube nininini.
Kae ɛbɔ a wohyɛɛ wʼasomfoɔ Abraham, Isak ne Israel no. Wo ara wokaa ntam sɛ, ‘Mɛma mo asefoɔ adɔɔso sɛ ɛsoro nsoromma na mede saa asase a mahyɛ mo ho bɔ yi nyinaa bɛma mo asefoɔ na wɔatena so afebɔɔ.’”
14 INkosi yasizisola ebubini eyayisithi izabenza ebantwini bayo.
Na Awurade sesaa nʼadwene de wɔn ho kyɛɛ wɔn.
15 UMozisi wasetshibilika wehla entabeni, lezibhebhe ezimbili zobufakazi esandleni sakhe; izibhebhe zazibhalwe inhlangothi zazo zombili; zibhalwe ngapha langapha.
Afei, Mose siane firii bepɔ no so baeɛ a ɔkura Mmaransɛm Edu no a wɔatwerɛ agu aboɔ apono mmienu akyi ne animu no.
16 Lezibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, lombhalo wawungumbhalo kaNkulunkulu, ubazwe ezibhebheni.
Onyankopɔn no ankasa na ɔtwerɛɛ mmaransɛm no wɔ apono no so.
17 Kwathi uJoshuwa esezwile umsindo wabantu beklabalala, wathi kuMozisi: Kulomsindo wempi enkambeni.
Ɛberɛ a Yosua tee sɛ nnipa bi reyɛ gyegyeegye no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me sɛ wɔreboaboa wɔn ho akɔ ɔko!”
18 Kodwa wathi: Kakusumsindo wokuklabalala kokunqoba, njalo kakusumsindo wokuklabalala kokunqotshwa; ngizwa umsindo wokuhlabelela.
Ɛnna Mose nso buaa no sɛ, “Ɛnnyɛ nkonimdie mu anigyeɛ anaa, nkoguo na mmom, ɛyɛ nnwontoɔ.”
19 Kwasekusithi esesondele enkambeni walibona ithole lokugida; ulaka lukaMozisi lwaseluvutha, wasezilahla izibhebhe ezandleni zakhe, waziphahlazela phansi kwentaba.
Wɔbɛduruu atenaeɛ hɔ, Mose hunuu nantwie ba no ne asa a wɔresa. Enti, ɔde abufuhyeɛ too twerɛ apono no hwee fam ma ɛbubuu wɔ bepɔ no ase.
20 Wathatha ithole ababelenzile, walitshisa emlilweni, walichola laze lacoleka, walivuvuzela emanzini, wabanathisa wona abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ɔfaa nantwie ba no nanee no wɔ ogya mu na ɛdwoeɛ no, ɔyam no muhumuhu de guu nsuo mu maa nnipa no nomeeɛ.
21 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Abantu laba benzeni kuwe ukuze ubehlisele isono esikhulu kangaka?
Afei, ɔbisaa Aaron sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn nko ara na nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ wo a enti ɛnam so maa wode saa bɔne kɛseɛ yi baa wɔn so?”
22 UAroni wasesithi: Kalungavuthi ulaka lwenkosi yami; wena uyabazi abantu ukuthi batshekele ebubini.
Aaron buaa no sɛ, “Mma wo bo mfu. Wo ara wonim sɛdeɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ yi yɛ nnipa bɔne fa.
23 Ngoba bathi kimi: Senzele onkulunkulu abazahamba phambi kwethu; ngoba uMozisi lo, indoda eyasikhuphula elizweni leGibhithe, kasazi ukuthi yehlelwe yini.
Wɔn ara na wɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Yɛ onyame bi ma yɛn na ɔnkyerɛ yɛn ɛkwan na biribi ayɛ saa Mose a ɔdii yɛn anim firii Misraim no.’
24 Ngasengisithi kubo: Loba ngubani olegolide, kabaliqamule. Basebenginika lona. Ngasengiliphosela emlilweni, kwasekuphuma lelithole.
Enti, me nso mekaa sɛ, ‘Monyiyi mo sikakɔkɔɔ nsonkawa mma me.’ Wɔyiyi de maa me na mede guu ogya mu. Ɛne saa nantwie ba no.”
25 Kwathi uMozisi esebonile abantu ukuthi babengabambeki (ngoba uAroni wabayekela bangabambeki ukuze bayangeke kwababengabavukela),
Mose hunuu sɛ Aaron ama nnipa no adane adwamammɔfoɔ ama wɔn atamfoɔ anya wɔn no,
26 uMozisi wasesima esangweni lenkamba, wathi: Loba ngubani ongoweNkosi, keze kimi! Kwasekubuthana kuye wonke amadodana kaLevi.
ɔgyinaa wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ ɛpono no ano teaam sɛ, “Mo a mowɔ Awurade afa no, mommra me nkyɛn.” Lewifoɔ no nyinaa kɔɔ ne nkyɛn.
27 Wasesithi kuwo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ithi: Ngulowo lalowo kahlome inkemba yakhe ethangazini lakhe, adabule aphenduke esuka esangweni esiya esangweni enkambeni, langulowo lalowo abulale umfowabo, langulowo lalowo umngane wakhe, langulowo lalowo umakhelwane wakhe.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn se, ‘Momfa mo akofena nhyehyɛ mo ho na monni mo atenaeɛ hɔ akɔneaba, na monkunkum mo nuanom, mo nnamfonom ne mo afipamfoɔ.’”
28 Amadodana kaLevi asesenza njengelizwi likaMozisi; njalo kwawa ebantwini ngalolosuku abantu abangabazinkulungwane ezintathu.
Enti, wɔyɛɛ saa maa nnipa bɛyɛ mpensa totɔɔ ɛda no.
29 UMozisi wasesithi: Lizehlukanisele iNkosi lamuhla, ngoba ngulowo lalowo ubemelene lendodana yakhe amelane lomfowabo, ukuze aphe isibusiso phezu kwenu lamuhla.
Afei, Mose ka kyerɛɛ Lewifoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, moatu mo ho akyɛ sɛ mobɛsom Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, moayɛ ɔsetie ama no ama mpo, monam so akunkum mo mma ne mo nuanom, enti ɔbɛhyira mo bebree.”
30 Kwasekusithi kusisa uMozisi wathi ebantwini: Lina lenze isono esikhulu; khathesi sengizakwenyukela eNkosini; mhlawumbe ngingenza inhlawulo yokuthula ngesono senu.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Moayɛ bɔne a ɛso bi mmaa da, nanso mɛsane akɔ Awurade nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so akɔhwɛ sɛ ebia, mɛnya bɔnefakyɛ ama mo anaa.”
31 UMozisi wasebuyela eNkosini wathi: Maye! Lababantu bonile isono esikhulu, bazenzele onkulunkulu begolide.
Enti, Mose sane kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ao, saa nnipa yi ayɛ bɔne a ɛso bi mmaa da, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ wɔn anyame.
32 Khathesi-ke, uba uthethelela isono sabo - kodwa uba kungenjalo, ake ungesule egwalweni lwakho olubhalileyo.
Enti, meredi ama wɔn sɛ, fa wɔn bɔne kyɛ wɔn, na sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, pepa me din firi nwoma a woatwerɛ no mu.”
33 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Owonileyo kimi ngizamesula egwalweni lwami.
Awurade buaa Mose sɛ, “Obiara a wayɛ me bɔne no, mɛpepa no afiri me nwoma mu.
34 Kodwa hamba-ke, ukhokhele abantu baye lapho engikhulume lawe ngakho; khangela, ingilosi yami izahamba phambi kwakho. Kanti mhla ngiphindisela ngizaphindisela isono sabo phezu kwabo.
Enti afei, kɔ na di nkurɔfoɔ no anim kɔ beaeɛ a mekyerɛɛ woɔ no na mehyɛ wo bɔ sɛ, mɛma me ɔbɔfoɔ adi wʼanim; nanso sɛ mebɛsra nkurɔfoɔ no a, mɛtwe wɔn aso wɔ wɔn bɔne no ho.”
35 INkosi yasibatshaya abantu ngoba babenze ithole, uAroni ayelenzile.
Na ɛsiane sɛ nnipa no somm Aaron nantwie ba no enti, ɔtee yadeɛ guu wɔn so.
