2 Mose 19
1 Anadwo a Israelfoɔ no tu firii Misraim no, nʼabosome mmiɛnsa so na wɔde kɔduruu Sinai ɛserɛ so.
Ngosuku olufanayo, emva kwezinyanga ezintathu abantu bako-Israyeli besuke eGibhithe bafika enkangala yeSinayi.
2 Wɔtu firii Refidim no, wɔbɛduruu Sinai Bepɔ ase bɔɔ atenaseɛ wɔ hɔ. Mose foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so kɔhyiaa Onyankopɔn.
Sebesukile eRefidimu bangena enkangala yeSinayi bamisa amathente abo phansi kwentaba.
3 Mose kɔɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so na Awurade frɛɛ no firii bepɔ no so kaa sɛ, “Ka saa nsɛm yi kyerɛ Yakob asefoɔ Israelman sɛ,
Lapho-ke uMosi wakhuphukela kuNkulunkulu entabeni, uThixo esentabeni wabiza uMosi wathi kuye, “Tshela abantu bendlu kaJakhobe labantu bako-Israyeli, uthi
4 ‘Moahunu deɛ meyɛɛ Misraimfoɔ no ne ɛkwan a menam so de mo baa me nkyɛn te sɛ deɛ na mote ɔkɔdeɛ ntaban so no.
‘Lina ngokwenu lizibonele engikwenze eGibhithe lokuthi ngilithwele ngamaphiko okhozi ngaliletha lapha kimi.
5 Sɛ mobɛtie me, na moadi mʼahyɛdeɛ so a, mobɛyɛ me nnwankuo ketewa wɔ asase so aman nyinaa mu, ɛfiri sɛ, asase nyinaa yɛ me dea.
Ngakho-ke lingangilalela ligcine isivumelwano sami lani lizakuba ligugu kimi phakathi kwezizwe zonke. Lanxa umhlaba wonke ungowami,
6 Na mobɛyɛ asɔfoɔ ahemman a ɛyɛ ɔman kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.’ Saa nsɛm yi na ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no.”
lina kimi lizakuba ngumbuso wabaphristi lesizwe esingcwele.’ Yiwo amazwi okumele uwakhulume kwabako-Israyeli.”
7 Mose siane firii bepɔ no so baeɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua nnipa no ano nyinaa na ɔkaa asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
UMosi wabuyela ebantwini, wafika wabuthanisa abakhokheli babantu wabatshela okwakutshiwo nguThixo.
8 Wɔtee asɛm no, wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Yɛbɛyɛ biribiara a Awurade aka sɛ yɛnyɛ no nyinaa.” Enti, Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a nnipa no aka no kyerɛɛ Awurade.
Bonke bavuma ngalizwi linye bathi, “Sizakwenza konke uThixo athe sikwenze.” UMosi wambikela uThixo okwakukhulunywe ngabantu.
9 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Merebɛba wo nkyɛn sɛ omununkum sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na me ne wo kasa a, nnipa no bɛte me nne na ɛnam so ama wɔagye wo adi daa.
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Ngizakuza kini nginjengeyezi elimnyama ukuze abantu bangizwe ngikhuluma lawe. Ngakho ngezikhathi zonke bazakholwa kuwe.” UMosi watshela uThixo okwakutshiwo ngabantu.
10 “Siane kɔ nnipa no nkyɛn na kɔhwɛ sɛ wɔasiesie wɔn ho rehwɛ me ɛkwan. Fa ɛnnɛ ne ɔkyena te wɔn ho. Ma wɔnsi wɔn nneɛma nyinaa.
Ngakho uThixo wathi kuMosi, “Buyela ebantwini ubangcwelise lamhla lakusasa. Batshele bagezise izigqoko zabo
11 Na ɔkyena akyiri mɛsiane aba Sinai Bepɔ no so a ɔmanfoɔ nyinaa rehwɛ ɛkwan.
kuthi ngelanga lesithathu libe selilungiselele ngoba ngalelolanga uThixo uzakwehlela entabeni yeSinayi abantu bonke bekhangele.
12 Twitwa ahyeɛ sɛdeɛ nnipa no rentra na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Monhwɛ yie. Mommforo nkɔ bepɔ no atifi na monnkɔ nʼahyeɛ no nso so; obiara a ɔbɛbu saa mmara yi so no, ɔbɛwu.
Yenzela abantu imingcele malungana lentaba, ubatshele uthi, ‘Limukani! Lingakhweli entabeni, kumbe ukufika phansi kwayo. Lowo ozasondela entabeni uzabulawa.’
13 Sɛ ɔyɛ onipa anaa a, obiara nsɔ ne mu. Na mmom, wɔbɛsi no aboɔ anaasɛ wɔbɛtoto agyan awowɔ no ama wawu.’ Montwe mo ho mfiri bepɔ no ho koraa kɔsi sɛ totorobɛnto bi bɛhyɛne ntwemu so; sɛ ɛba saa a, momforo nkɔ bepɔ no so!”
Ngempela uzatshaywa ngamatshe kumbe acitshwe ngemitshoko kodwa angathintwa ngesandla. Akukhathalekile ukuthi ngumuntu loba yinyamazana akusoze kuvunyelwe ukuphila. Bazakhwela entabeni kuphela nxa uphondo lwenqama selukhale isikhathi eside.”
14 Mose siane firii bepɔ no so kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔtee wɔn ho ma wɔsii wɔn nneɛma nyinaa.
Ngemva kokuba uMosi esehlile entabeni waya ebantwini wabangcwelisa basebegezisa lezigqoko zabo.
15 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsiesie mo ho, na aka nnansa na Onyankopɔn aba, enti obiara nnkɔ ɔbaa ho.”
Wathi ebantwini, “Lungiselelani ilanga lesithathu. Zilani omkenu.”
16 Nnansa so anɔpa pɛpɛɛpɛ, aprannaa a ano yɛ den bobɔɔ mu, ma ayerɛmo pepaeɛ, ma omununkum kabii bi siane firii bepɔ no so. Totorobɛnto bi hyɛnee ntwemu so ma nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa ho popoeɛ.
Ekuseni ngelanga lesithathu kwaba lomdumo lombane othuthumelisayo, leyezi elikhulukazi lehlela phezu kwentaba, kwezwakala lomsindo omkhulu wecilongo. Abantu bonke ezihonqweni besaba, baqhaqhazela.
17 Mose dii nnipa no anim firi wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔhyia Onyankopɔn. Wɔn nyinaa kɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ bepɔ no ase.
UMosi wasebakhokhela ebasusa emathenteni ebasa kuNkulunkulu. Bafika bema ngaphansi kwentaba.
18 Wisie kumɔnn kataa Sinai Bepɔ no so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade siane baa so sɛ ogya. Wisie buaa ewiem nyinaa te sɛ deɛ ɛfiri fononoo mu, na asasewosoɔ wosoo bepɔ no dendeenden.
Intaba yonke iSinayi yembeswa yintuthu ngoba uThixo wehlela phezu kwayo ngesimo somlilo. Intuthu yathunqa ngamandla isiya phezulu kungathi iphuma emphongolweni.
19 Totorobɛnto no hyɛnee dendeenden pa ara no, Mose kasaeɛ na Onyankopɔn nso de nne kɛseɛ buaeɛ.
Njalo umsindo wecilongo waya ulokhu ukhula. UMosi wakhuluma, kwathi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lamphendula.
20 Enti, Awurade baa Sinai Bepɔ no atifi, na ɔfrɛɛ Mose maa ɔforo kɔɔ ne nkyɛn.
UThixo wehlela phezu kwentaba iSinayi, wabizela uMosi khona. Ngakho uMosi wakhwela,
21 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sane wʼakyi kɔ nnipa no nkyɛn na kɔbɔ wɔn kɔkɔ sɛ wɔnntra ahyeɛ no. Wɔnnyɛ wɔn adwene nso sɛ wɔreforo aba soro ha abɛhwɛ Awurade. Wɔn a wɔbɛyɛ saa no bɛwuwu.
UThixo wasesithi kuye, “Buyela phansi uyexwayisa abantu ukuba bangaqali ukweqa imingcele ukuba babone uThixo ngoba bangafa ngobunengi.
22 Asɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so no mpo nnwira wɔn ho, anyɛ saa a, Awurade bɛsɛe wɔn.”
Labaphristi abaya kuThixo kumele bazenze babengcwele, funa uThixo ababhubhise.”
23 Mose nso buaa Awurade sɛ, “Nnipa no deɛ, wɔremforo mma bepɔ no atifi, ɛfiri sɛ, woabɔ wɔn kɔkɔ dada. Woka kyerɛɛ me sɛ mentwitwa ahyeɛ mfa bepɔ no ho na menka nkyerɛ nnipa no sɛ, obiara nnkɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.”
UMosi wathi kuThixo, “Akulamuntu ongakhwela entabeni yeSinayi ngoba wena ngokwakho wathi bangakwenzi lokho. Uthe ngenze imingcele egombolozela intaba ngitshele abantu bangasondeli kuyo ngoba ingcwele.”
24 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Siane kɔ fam na kɔfa Aaron bra. Mma asɔfoɔ no ne nnipa no ntra ahyeɛ no sɛ wɔreba ha. Wɔyɛ saa a, mɛsɛe wɔn.”
Kodwa uThixo wathi, “Yehla uyebuya lo-Aroni. Kodwa abaphristi labantu akumelanga ukuba beqe imingcele besiza lapho ngoba ngingabaphendukela.”
25 Enti, Mose siane kɔɔ bepɔ no ase kɔkaa asɛm a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ no no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Ngakho uMosi wehla waya ebantwini wabatshela.
