Ekisodho 15
1 Ipapo Mozisi navaIsraeri vakaimba rwiyo urwu kuna Jehovha: “Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti iye anokudzwa zvikurukuru. Bhiza nomutasvi waro akazvikanda mugungwa.
Khona oMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli bahlabelela lelihubo eNkosini; bakhuluma bathi: Ngizahlabelela iNkosi, ngoba iphakeme isibili. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.
2 “Jehovha ndiye simba rangu norwiyo rwangu; iye ava ruponeso rwangu. Ndiye Mwari wangu, uye ndichamurumbidza, Mwari wababa vangu, uye ndichamukudza.
INkosi ingamandla lehubo lami, isibe kimi lusindiso, lo nguNkulunkulu wami, ngakho ngizamdumisa, unguNkulunkulu kababa, ngakho ngizamphakamisa.
3 Jehovha imhare; Jehovha ndiro zita rake.
INkosi yindoda yempi, iNkosi libizo layo.
4 Ngoro dzaFaro nehondo yake akazvikanda mugungwa. Machinda aFaro akanakisisa akanyudzwa muGungwa Dzvuku.
Inqola zikaFaro lebutho lakhe ikuphosele olwandle, lokhetho lwezinduna zakhe lwacwiliswa oLwandle oluBomvu.
5 Mvura yakadzika yakavafukidza; vakanyura kwakadzika sedombo.
Inziki zabasibekela; behlela ekujuleni njengelitshe.
6 “Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, imi Jehovha, rwakakudzwa nesimba. Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, imi Jehovha, rwakaparadza muvengi.
Isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sidunyisiwe ngamandla; isandla sakho sokunene, Nkosi, sisiphahlazile isitha.
7 “Muukuru hwoumambo hwenyu makakanda pasi vaya vaikupikisai. Makasunungura kutsamwa kwenyu kunopisa, kukavapisa sehundi.
Njalo ngobukhulu bokuphakama kwakho uchithile abakuvukelayo; uthumele ulaka lwakho oluvuthayo, lwabaqeda njengezidindi.
8 Nokufema kwemhino dzenyu mvura zhinji yakaita murwi. Mvura yamasaisai yakamira yakasimba semadziro; mvura yakadzika yakaungana mukati megungwa.
Langokuvuthela kwamakhala akho amanzi abuthelelwa; impophoma zema njengenqumbi; izinziki zajiya enhliziyweni yolwandle.
9 “Muvengi akazvikudza achiti, ‘Ndichavatevera, ndichavabata. Ndichagova zvakapambwa; ndichazvimbirwa navo. Ndichavhomora munondo wangu uye ruoko rwangu ruchavaparadza.’
Isitha sathi: Ngizaxotsha, ngifice, ngehlukanise impango; isiloyiso sami sizasutha bona, ngizahwatsha inkemba yami, isandla sami sizababhubhisa.
10 Asi makafuridza nokufema kwenyu, gungwa rikavafukidza. Vakanyura somutobvu mukati memvura ine simba.
Waphephetha ngomoya wakho, ulwandle lwabasibekela; batshona njengomnuso emanzini alamandla.
11 “Ndianiko pakati pavamwari akaita semi, imi Jehovha? Ndiani akaita semi, paumambo noutsvene, mukubwinya kunotyisa, anoita zvishamiso?
Ngubani onjengawe, Nkosi, phakathi kwabonkulunkulu? Ngubani onjengawe olodumo ebungcweleni, owesabekayo ezindunyisweni, esenza izimangaliso?
12 Makatambanudza ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, nyika ikavamedza.
Welulile isandla sakho sokunene, umhlaba wabaginya.
13 “Murudo rwenyu rusingaperi muchatungamirira vanhu vamakadzikinura. Musimba renyu imi muchavatungamirira kuugaro hwenyu hutsvene.
Ukhokhele ngomusa wakho lesisizwe osihlengileyo; wasihola ngamandla akho endaweni yakho yokuhlala yobungcwele bakho.
14 Ndudzi dzichazvinzwa uye dzichadedera; kurwadziwa kuchabata vanhu vokuFiristia.
Izizwe zizwile, ziyathuthumela; umhelo ubabambile abahlali beFilisti.
15 Madzishe eEdhomu achavhundutswa, vatungamiri veMoabhu vachabatwa nokudedera, vanhu veKenani vachanyunguduka;
Ngalesosikhathi izinduna zeEdoma zizasanganiseka, iziphathamandla zakoMowabi, ukuthuthumela kwazibamba, bonke abahlali beKhanani bazancibilika.
16 kutya nokuvhunduka zvichavawira. Nesimba roruoko rwenyu vachanyarara kunge dombo, kusvikira vanhu venyu vapfuura, imi Jehovha, kusvikira vanhu vamakatenga vapfuura.
Ukwethuka lokwesaba kuzabehlela; ngobukhulu bengalo yakho bazathula njengelitshe, size sichaphe isizwe sakho, Nkosi, size sichaphe isizwe osithengileyo.
17 Muchaenda navomo uye mugovasima pagomo renhaka yenyu, nzvimbo tsvene yakasimbiswa namaoko enyu, imi Jehovha.
Uzabangenisa, ubahlanyele entabeni yelifa lakho, indawo oyenzileyo, Nkosi, ukuthi uhlale kuyo, indawo engcwele eziyimisileyo izandla zakho, Nkosi.
18 “Jehovha achatonga nokusingaperi-peri.”
INkosi izabusa kuze kube phakade lanininini.
19 Mabhiza aFaro, ngoro navatasvi vamabhiza vakapinda mugungwa, Jehovha akauyisa mvura yomugungwa pamusoro pavo, asi vaIsraeri vakafamba napakati pegungwa pavhu rakaoma.
Ngoba ibhiza likaFaro langena olwandle lenqola yakhe labagadi bakhe bamabhiza, iNkosi yasibuyisela amanzi olwandle phezu kwabo, kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle.
20 Ipapo Miriamu muprofitakadzi, hanzvadzi yaAroni, akatora tambureni muruoko rwake, uye vakadzi vose vakamutevera, vana matambureni uye vachitamba.
UMiriyamu umprofethikazi, udadewabo kaAroni, wasethatha isigujana esandleni sakhe; bonke abesifazana basebephuma ngemva kwakhe, lezigujana lemigido.
21 Miriamu akavaimbira akati: “Imbirai Jehovha, nokuti anokudzwa zvikuru kuru. Bhiza nomutasvi waro akazvikanda mugungwa.”
UMiriyamu wasebaphendula wathi: Hlabelelani iNkosi, ngoba inqobe ngodumo. Ibhiza lomgadi walo ikuphosele olwandle.
22 Ipapo Mozisi akatungamirira vaIsraeri kubva paGungwa Dzvuku uye vakapinda murenje reShuri. Vakafamba kwamazuva matatu murenje vachishayiwa mvura.
UMozisi wasemkhokhela uIsrayeli eqhubeka esuka eLwandle oluBomvu, baphuma baya enkangala yeShuri; bahamba insuku ezintathu enkangala, kabatholanga manzi.
23 Vakati vasvika paMara, havana kugona kunwa mvura yacho nokuti yaivava. (Ndokusaka nzvimbo yacho ichinzi Mara.)
Kwathi lapho befika eMara babengelakuwanatha amanzi eMara, ngoba ayebaba; ngakho ibizo layo lathiwa yiMara.
24 Saka vanhu vakapopotera Mozisi vachiti, “Tonweiko?”
Abantu basebekhonona bemelene loMozisi besithi: Sizanathani?
25 Ipapo Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha, Jehovha akamuratidza chimuti. Akachikanda mumvura, mvura ikanaka. Jehovha akavaitirapo mutemo nomurayiro, uye akavaedza ipapo.
Wasekhala eNkosini. INkosi yasimtshengisa isihlahla, asiphosela emanzini, amanzi asesiba mnandi. Yabamisela khona isimiso lesimiselo, lalapho yabalinga,
26 Akati, “Kana mukanyatsoteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukaita zvakarurama pamberi pake, kana mukarerekera nzeve dzenyu kumirayiro yake uye mukachengeta mitemo yose, haangauyisi pamusoro penyu zvirwere zvose zvandakauyisa pamusoro pavaIjipita, nokuti ndini Jehovha anokuporesai.”
yasisithi: Uba lilalela lokulalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lenze okulungileyo emehlweni ayo, libeke indlebe emilayweni yayo, ligcine zonke izimiso zayo, kangiyikwehlisela phezu kwenu lasinye sezifo engazehlisela phezu kwamaGibhithe; ngoba ngiyiNkosi elelaphayo.
27 Ipapo vakasvika paErimu, paiva namatsime gumi namaviri uye nemiti yemichindwe makumi manomwe, uye vakadzika misasa ipapo pedyo nemvura.
Basebefika eElimi lapho okwakukhona imithombo elitshumi lambili yamanzi, lezihlahla zelala ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa; basebemisa inkamba khona emanzini.
