U-Eksodusi 33
1 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Hamba wenyuke lapha wena labantu owabenyusa elizweni leGibhithe, uye elizweni engalifungela uAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe ngisithi: Inzalo yakho ngizayinika lona.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Vva mu kifo kino ogende, ggwe n’abantu be waggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, olage mu nsi gye nalayirira Ibulayimu ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo, nga njogera nti, ‘Ndigiwa bazzukulu bammwe.’
2 Njalo ngizathuma ingilosi phambi kwakho, ngixotshe amaKhanani, amaAmori, lamaHethi, lamaPerizi, amaHivi, lamaJebusi.
Ndiweereza malayika abakulemberenga; era ndigobamu Abakanani, n’Abamoli, n’Abakiiti, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi n’Abayebusi.
3 Uye elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju; ngoba kangiyikwenyuka phakathi kwakho, ngoba uyisizwe esintamo lukhuni, hlezi ngikuqede endleleni.
Yambuka mu nsi ekulukutiramu amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki. Naye sijja kugenda nammwe; sirwa kubazikiririza mu kkubo, kubanga muli bantu ab’ensingo enkakanyavu.”
4 Kwathi abantu sebezwile lelilizwi elibi, balila; njalo kakulamuntu owafaka izigqizo zakhe;
Abantu bwe baawulira amawulire ago ag’ennaku, ne bakungubaga ne watabaawo ayambala eby’omu matu wadde eby’oku mikono ebyokwewoomya.
5 ngoba iNkosi yayithe kuMozisi: Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Lingabantu abantamo zilukhuni; ngisenyuka ngiphakathi kwakho ngokucwayiza kwelihlo, ngizakuqeda. Ngakho-ke khupha izigqizo zakho kuwe ukuze ngazi engizakwenza kuwe.
Kubanga Mukama yali alagidde Musa nti, “Gamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mulina omutima omukakanyavu, era singa ntambula nammwe okumala akaseera wadde katono katya, nzija kubazikiriza. Kale kaakano mweyambulemu ebyokwewoomya byammwe, ndyoke ndabe kye nnaakola.’”
6 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebezihlubula izigqizo zabo kusukela entabeni yeHorebe.
Bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri ne beeyambulamu eby’obugagga byabwe nga bali ku lusozi Kolebu.
7 UMozisi wasethatha ithente walimisa ngaphandle kwenkamba, khatshana lenkamba; walibiza ngokuthi lithente lenhlangano. Kwasekusithi wonke odinga iNkosi waphuma waya ethenteni lenhlangano elalingaphandle kwenkamba.
Kale, Musa yaddiranga eweema n’agisimba ebweru w’olusiisira, ewala ddala n’olusiisira; n’agiyita Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Ne buli eyeetaaganga Mukama, ng’agenda awali Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, eyali ebweru w’olusiisira.
8 Kwakusithi lapho uMozisi ephuma ukuya ethenteni, bonke abantu basukume, beme kube ngulowo lalowo emnyango wethente lakhe; bakhangele emva kukaMozisi aze angene ethenteni;
Era buli Musa lwe yafulumanga n’alaga eri Eweema, abantu bonna nga bayimirira mu miryango gy’eweema zaabwe ne batunuulira Musa okutuusa lwe yayingiranga mu Weema.
9 njalo kwakusithi lapho uMozisi esengene ethenteni, insika yeyezi yehle, ime emnyango wethente; ibisikhuluma loMozisi.
Musa bwe yayingiranga mu Weema, empagi ey’ekire n’ekka n’eyimirira mu mulyango gw’Eweema; Mukama n’alyoka ayogera ne Musa.
10 Lapho bonke abantu beyibona insika yeyezi imi emnyango wethente, bonke abantu basukume bakhonze, kube ngulowo lalowo emnyango wethente lakhe.
Abantu bwe baalabanga ng’empagi ey’ekire eyimiridde mu mulyango gw’Eweema, bonna ne basituka ne basinza, buli omu mu mulyango gw’eweema ye.
11 INkosi yakhuluma-ke kuMozisi ubuso ngobuso, njengomuntu ekhuluma lomngane wakhe. Wasebuyela enkambeni, kodwa uJoshuwa inceku yakhe, indodana kaNuni, ijaha, kasukanga phakathi kwethente.
Bw’atyo Mukama bwe yayogeranga ne Musa nga batunulaganye, ng’omuntu bw’ayogera ne mukwano gwe. Musa bwe yaddangayo mu lusiisira, omuweereza we, omuvubuka Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, ye n’asigalayo mu Weema.
12 UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Khangela, uthi kimi: Yenyusa lababantu; kodwa wena kawungazisanga ozamthuma lami. Kanti wena uthe: Ngiyakwazi ngebizo, futhi uthole umusa emehlweni ami.
Musa n’agamba Mukama nti, “Obadde ontegeeza nti, ‘Kulembera abantu bano,’ naye omuntu gw’onontuma naye tomuntegeezezza. Ogambye nti, ‘Nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo, era onsanyusizza.’
13 Ngakho-ke ngicela, uba ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ake ungazise indlela yakho, ukuze ngikwazi, ukuze ngithole umusa emehlweni akho; ukhumbule futhi ukuthi lesisizwe singabantu bakho.
Obanga nkusanyusizza, njigiriza amakubo go ndyoke nkumanye era nneeyongeranga okukusanyusa. Jjukira nti eggwanga lino be bantu bo.”
14 Wasesithi: Ubukhona bami buzahamba lawe, ngikuphumuze.
Mukama n’addamu nti, “Nnaagendanga naawe, era nnaakuwummuzanga.”
15 Wasesithi kuye: Uba ubukhona bakho bungahambi lami, ungasenyusi lapha.
Musa n’amugamba nti, “Obanga toogende naffe, totuggya wano.
16 Ngoba kuzakwaziwa-ke ngani ukuthi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, mina labantu bakho? Kakusikho yini ekuhambeni kwakho lathi? Ngakho sizakwehlukaniswa, mina labantu bakho, kubo bonke abantu abasebusweni bomhlaba.
Kale abantu balitegeerera ku ki nga Nkusanyusizza, nze n’abantu bo? Si lwa kubanga onooba ogenze naffe, ne tuba ba njawulo, nze n’abantu bo, nga twawukana ku bantu bonna ab’oku nsi?”
17 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Lale into oyitshoyo ngizayenza, ngoba uthole umusa emehlweni ami, njalo ngiyakwazi ngebizo.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kukola ekyo kyennyini ky’osabye; onsanyusizza, era nkumanyi awamu n’erinnya lyo.”
18 Wasesithi: Ake ungitshengise inkazimulo yakho.
Musa n’agamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, ndaga ekitiibwa kyo.”
19 Yasisithi: Mina ngizadlulisa bonke ubuhle bami phambi kwakho, ngimemezele ibizo leNkosi phambi kwakho. Ngizahawukela lowo engizamhawukela, ngibe lomusa kulowo engizakuba lomusa kuye.
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Nzija kuggyayo obulungi bwange bwonna nga mbuyisa mu maaso go. Era nzija kukutegeeza erinnya lyange, Mukama. Buli gwe nnaayagalanga okukwatirwa ekisa, nnaamukwatirwanga ekisa, ne buli gwe nnaayagalanga okusaasira nnaamusaasiranga.”
20 Yathi futhi: Ungebone ubuso bami; ngoba kakho umuntu ongangibona, aphile.
Era n’agamba nti, “Naye toyinza kulaba maaso gange, kubanga tewali muntu antunulako n’aba mulamu.”
21 INkosi yasisithi: Khangela, kulendawo ngakimi lapho ozakuma khona edwaleni;
Mukama n’agamba nti, “Waliwo wano okumpi nange ekifo ku lwazi kw’onooyimirira.
22 kuzakuthi-ke lapho inkazimulo yami isedlula, ngizakufaka esikhexeni sedwala, ngikusibekele ngesandla sami ngize ngidlule;
Ekitiibwa kyange bwe kinaaba kiyitawo, nnaakuteeka mu mpataanya mu lwazi, ne nkubikkako omukono gwange okutuusa lwe nnaamala okuyitawo.
23 besengisusa isandla sami ubusubona ingemuva yami; kodwa ubuso bami kabuyikubonwa.
Oluvannyuma omukono gwange nnaaguggyawo, n’olaba amabega gange; naye tojja kulaba ku maaso gange.”
