Ekisodho 1
1 Aya ndiwo mazita avanakomana vaIsraeri vakaenda naJakobho kuIjipiti, mumwe nomumwe nemhuri yake:
EIA na inoa o na keiki a Iseraela, i hele aku me Iakoba i Aigupita, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i hele aku me ko ka hale ona.
2 Rubheni, Simeoni, Revhi naJudha;
O Reubena, o Simeona, o Levi, o Iuda,
3 Isakari, Zebhuruni naBhenjamini;
O Isakara, o Zebuluna, o Beniamina,
4 Dhani naNafutari; Gadhi naAsheri.
O Dana, o Napetali, o Gada a o Asera.
5 Zvizvarwa zvose zvaJakobho zvakanga zviri makumi manomwe pakuwanda; Josefa akanga atova muIjipiti.
O na mea ola a pau i puka mai ai, mai loko ae o ko Iakoba puhaka, he kanahiku lakou; a ma Aigupita no o Iosepa.
6 Zvino Josefa nehama dzake dzose navose vezera iroro vakafa,
A make iho la o Iosepa, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau, a me ia hanauna a pau.
7 asi vaIsraeri vakaberekana vakawanda zvikuru uye vakava vazhinji kwazvo, zvokuti nyika yakanga yazara navo.
Hanau nui iho la na mamo a Iseraela, a laha loa ae la, a kawowo loa: ua nui loa ko lakou ikaika, a ua piha hoi ka aina ia lakou.
8 Ipapo mambo mutsva, akanga asingazivi nezvaJosefa, akatanga kutonga muIjipiti.
A ku mai la kekahi alii hou ma Aigupita, aole i ike ia Iosepa.
9 Akati kuvanhu vake, “Tarirai, vaIsraeri vanyanya kuwanda kwazvo.
I mai la ia i kona poe kanaka, Aia hoi, ua oi aku ka nui o na kanaka mamo a Iseraela, a me ko lakou ikaika i ko kakou.
10 Uyai tivafungire zano nokuti vangazonyanya kuwanda uye kana hondo ikamuka, vangazobatana navavengi vedu, vakarwa nesu vakazobva munyika.”
E hana maalea kakou ia lakou; o nui auanei lakou, a hiki mai ke kaua, huipu lakou me ko kakou poe enemi, a e kaua mai hoi ia kakou, a pela ia lakou e pii aku ai mai ka aina aku.
11 Saka vakagadza vatariri vebasa pamusoro pavo kuti vavadzvinyirire nebasa rechibharo, uye vakavaka Pitomu neRamesesi kuti ave maguta amatura aFaro.
A hoonoho aku lakou i na luna hooluhi maluna o lakou, i mea e hookaumaha loa ai ia lakou i na haua nui. A hana iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale papaa no Parao, o Pitoma, a o Ramese.
12 Asi pavakanyanya kudzvinyirirwa ndipo pavakanyanya kuwanda uye nokupararira; saka vaIjipita vakasvika pakutya vaIsraeri
E like me ko lakou hooluhi ana mai, pela no hoi ko lakou nei mahuahua, a me ka palahalaha ana aku. A makau loa lakou i na mamo a Iseraela.
13 uye vakavashandisa zvino utsinye.
Hoohana iho la ko Aigupita i na mamo a Iseraela me ka hookoikoi.
14 Vakashungurudza upenyu hwavo nebasa rakaoma rezvidhina nedhaka uye nemhando dzose dzebasa romuminda; vaIjipita vakavashandisa noutsinye mubasa rakaoma.
Hooawahia iho la lakou i ko lakou nei ola ana i ka hana luhi iloko o ka palolo, a i na pohakulepo, a me na hana a pau ma ka mahinaai: a o ka hana a pau a lakou i hoohana iho ai ia lakou nei, he mea koikoi ia.
15 Mambo weIjipiti akati kuna vananyamukuta vechiHebheru vainzi Shifura naPua,
Olelo mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki Hebera, o Sipera ka inoa o kekahi, a o Pua hoi ka inoa o kekahi;
16 “Pamunobatsira vakadzi vechiHebheru pakusununguka uye mukavacherechedza vachisununguka, kana ari mukomana, mumuuraye; kana ari musikana murege ari mupenyu.”
I mai la, A i palekeiki olua i na wahine Hebera, a nana olua iloko o na paholoi; ina he keikikane ia, alaila e pepehi olua ia ia; aka ina he kaikamahine, e ola no ia.
17 Asi, vananyamukuta vakanga vachitya Mwari, uye havana kuita zvavakanga varayirwa namambo weIjipiti kuti vaite; vakarega vanakomana vari vapenyu.
Aka, makau iho la na palekeiki i ke Akua; aole laua i hana i ka mea a ke alii o Aigupita i kauoha ai in laua; aka, hoola ae la laua i na keikikane.
18 Ipapo mambo weIjipiti akadana vananyamukuta akavabvunza achiti, “Seiko maita izvi? Seiko marega vana vechikomana vari vapenyu?”
Kii mai la ke alii o Aigupita i na palekeiki, i mai la ia laua, No ke aha la olua i hana'i i keia mea, a hoola i na keikikane?
19 Vananyamukuta vakapindura Faro vachiti, “Vakadzi vechiHebheru havana kufanana navakadzi veIjipiti; vane simba uye vanosununguka vananyamukuta vasati vasvika.”
I aku la na palekeiki ia Parao, No ka mea, aole i like na wahine Hebera me ko Aigupita poe wahine, he hiki wawe ko lakou, aole e hiki aku na palekeiki, a hanau e no lakou.
20 Saka Mwari akaitira vananyamukuta zvakanaka uye vanhu vakawedzerwa vakava vazhinji kwazvo.
A hoomaikai mai la ke Akua i na palekeiki: a mahuahua aku la na kanaka, a ua nui loa no hoi ko lakou ikaika.
21 Uye nokuda kwokuti vananyamukuta vaitya Mwari, iye akavapa mhuri dzavo pachavo.
A no ka makau ana o na palekeiki i ke Akua, a no kona hoomahuahua ana i ko lakou mau ohana,
22 Ipapo Faro akarayira vanhu vose kuti, “Vanakomana vose vanoberekwa munofanira kuvakanda murwizi Nairi, asi murege vanasikana vose vari vapenyu.”
Kauoha ae la o Parao i kona poe kanaka a pau, i aku la, O na keikikane a pau ke hanau mai, e kiola aku ia lakou i ka muliwai, aka, o na kaikamahine a pau, ka oukou ia e hoola ai.
