< 2 Mose 2 >

1 Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Lewini bi waree abaayewa bi firii Lewi abusuakuo mu.
Kwasekusuka indoda yendlu yakoLevi, yathatha indodakazi yakoLevi.
2 Ɔbaa no nyinsɛnee, woo abarimaa. Abɔfra no maame hunuu sɛ ne ho yɛ fɛ yie enti ɔde no siee efie abosome mmiɛnsa.
Owesifazana wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana; eseyibonile ukuthi inhle, wayifihla inyanga ezintathu.
3 Ɛduruu ɛberɛ bi no, na ɔde no sie a ɛnyɛ yie enti, ɔde mmɛwa nwonoo kɛntɛn bi de ɛhyɛ ne aman faa ho sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuo ntumi nkɔ mu. Ɔde abɔfra no too mu de no kɔsii asuo Nil konkɔn so wɔ wura a na ɛwɔ hɔ no bi mu.
Kwathi engaselakuyifihla wayithathela isitsha semizi, wasibhada ngengcino langethara, wafaka umntwana kuso, wasibeka emihlangeni ekhunjini lomfula.
4 Abɔfra no nuabaa kɔgyinaa akyiri baabi a na ɔwɛn no.
Udadewabo wasezimisa khatshana ukuze azi okuzakwenziwa kuye.
5 Farao babaa kɔɔ nsuo no mu sɛ ɔrekɔdware. Ɛberɛ a ɔne ne mmaawa nam asuo no konkɔn so no, ɔhunuu kɛntɛn no sɛ ɛhyɛ wiram hɔ baabi, enti ɔsomaa ne mmaawa no mu baako sɛ ɔnkɔfa mmrɛ no.
Kwasekusehla indodakazi kaFaro ukuyageza emfuleni; lamantombazana ayo ahamba eceleni komfula. Isibonile isitsha phakathi kwemihlanga, yathuma incekukazi yayo yasithatha.
6 Ɔde baeɛ a ɔbuee so no, ɔhunuu sɛ abarimaa bi da mu a ɔresu. Asɛm no yɛɛ no awerɛhoɔ. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ yi binom ba.”
Kwathi isivula, yabona umntwana, khangela-ke, umfanyana wakhala inyembezi. Yasimhawukela yathi: Lo ngomunye wabafana bamaHebheru.
7 Abɔfra no nuabaa a na ɔrewɛn no no kɔɔ ɔhene babaa no nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Menkɔfrɛ Hebrifoɔ mmaa no baako na ɔmmɛhwɛ no mma wo anaa?”
Udadewabo wasesithi endodakazini kaFaro: Ngihambe yini ngiyekubizela umfazi omunyisayo kumaHebherukazi ukuze akumunyisele umfana?
8 Ɔhene babaa no buaa sɛ, “Aane.” Enti, abaayewa no tuu mmirika kɔɔ efie kɔfrɛɛ abɔfra no maame de no baeɛ.
Indodakazi kaFaro yasisithi kuye: Hamba. Intombi yasihamba, yabiza unina womfana.
9 Ɔhene babaa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa abɔfra no kɔ efie na kɔhwɛ no ma me na mɛtua wo ho ka.” Enti, ɔde no kɔɔ efie kɔhwɛɛ no.
Indodakazi kaFaro yasisithi kuye: Thatha uhambe lalo umntwana, ungimunyisele yena; njalo mina ngizakupha iholo lakho. Owesifazana wasemthatha umntwana, wammunyisa.
10 Ɔnyinii kakra no, ɔde no brɛɛ ɔhene babaa no ma ɔgyee no de no yɛɛ ne ba. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛto ne edin Mose ɛfiri sɛ meyii no firii nsuo mu.”
Umfana esekhulile, wamletha endodakazini kaFaro, wasesiba yindodana yayo. Yasisitha ibizo layo yathi nguMozisi, yathi: Ngoba ngamkhupha emanzini.
11 Mose nyiniiɛ no, ɛda bi, ɔkɔsraa ne manfoɔ Hebrifoɔ no. Ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ ne manfoɔ no reyɛ adwumaden. Nsrahwɛ no mu na Mose hunuu sɛ Misraimni bi reboro Hebrini a ɔyɛ ne nua.
Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku, uMozisi esekhulile, waphuma waya kubafowabo, wakhangela imithwalo yabo; futhi wabona umGibhithe etshaya umHebheru kubafowabo.
12 Mose hwɛɛ ha hwɛɛ ha hunuu sɛ obiara nni hɔ no, ɔkumm Misraimni no tutuu fam de no hyɛɛ hɔ.
Wathalaza ngapha langapha; esebonile ukuthi kakulamuntu, wamtshaya umGibhithe, wamfihla etshebetshebeni.
13 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔsane kɔɔ Hebrifoɔ no hɔ nsrahwɛ. Ɔduruu hɔ no, na wɔn mu baanu reko. Ɔbisaa deɛ nʼasɛm nyɛ dɛ no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na woreyɛ yi a worebobɔ wo nua Hebrini saa?”
Waphuma langosuku lwesibili, khangela-ke, amaHebheru amabili esilwa; wasesithi kowonileyo: Umtshayelani umakhelwane wakho?
14 Ɔbarima no nso bisaa no sɛ, “Wofiri he? Hwan na ɔde wo yɛɛ yɛn sodifoɔ ne ɔtemmufoɔ? Anaasɛ woayɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobɛkum me sɛdeɛ nnora wokumm Misraimni no?” Mose hunuu sɛ bɔne a wayɛ no ho ada hɔ no, ɔsuroeɛ.
Wasesithi: Ngubani okubeke ube yisiphathamandla lomahluleli phezu kwethu? Wena uzimisele ukungibulala yini njengalokho ubulele umGibhithe? UMozisi wasesesaba wathi: Isibili udaba luyaziwa.
15 Na Farao nso tee asɛm no, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔnkɔfa Mose mmra na wɔnkum no. Nanso, Mose dwane kɔɔ Midian asase so. Ɛda bi a Mose kɔtenaa abura bi ho wɔ hɔ no,
Kwathi uFaro eseluzwile udaba, wadinga ukumbulala uMozisi. Kodwa uMozisi wabalekela ubuso bukaFaro, wahlala elizweni leMidiyani; wahlala emthonjeni.
16 Midian ɔsɔfoɔ mmammaa baason bi baa hɔ sɛ wɔrebɛto nsuo de akɔma wɔn agya nnwan.
Njalo umpristi weMidiyani wayelamadodakazi ayisikhombisa; eza ukukha, agcwalisa imikolo ukunathisa umhlambi kayise.
17 Nanso, nnwanhwɛfoɔ bi pampam mmaayewa no. Mose bɛgyee wɔn firii nnwanhwɛfoɔ no nsam maa mmaayewa no nnwan no nyaa nsuo nomeeɛ.
Kwasekufika abelusi, bawaxotsha; kodwa uMozisi wasukuma, wawasiza wanathisa umhlambi wawo.
18 Wɔsane kɔduruu wɔn agya Reuel nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na ɛnnɛ deɛ monyaa nsuo maa nnwan yi nom ntɛm seyie?”
Lapho efika kuRehuweli uyise, wathi: Kungani libuye masinyane kangaka lamuhla?
19 Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn agya sɛ, “Misraimni bi na ɔgyee yɛn firii nnwanhwɛfoɔ no nsam. Ɔno ara na ɔtoo nsuo maa yɛn nnwan no nomeeɛ.”
Asesithi: Indoda engumGibhithe isophulile esandleni sabelusi; futhi yasikhela lokusikhela, yanathisa umhlambi.
20 Wɔn agya bisaa sɛ, “Na ɔwɔ he? Mogyaa no hɔ anaa? Monkɔfrɛ no na ɔmmɛdidi.”
Wasesithi emadodakazini akhe: Kambe ingaphi? Kanti liyitshiyeleni indoda? Ibizeni, ukuze idle isinkwa.
21 Mose kɔɔ Reuel frɛ no. Akyire yi no, ɔne wɔn kɔtenaeɛ ma Reuel de ne babaa Sipora maa no awadeɛ.
UMozisi wasevuma ukuhlala lendoda; wasemnika uMozisi uZipora indodakazi yakhe.
22 Wɔwoo ɔbabarima ma Mose too no edin Gersom, aseɛ ne Ɔhɔhoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Mose kyerɛ aseɛ sɛ, “Meyɛ ɔhɔhoɔ wɔ ananafoɔ asase so.”
Wasezala indodana; wayitha ibizo layo uGereshoma, ngoba wathi: Ngangingowemzini elizweni lemzini.
23 Mfeɛ bi akyiri no, Misraimhene no wuiɛ. Na Israelfoɔ no resi apinie wɔ wɔn nkoasom no mu. Enti na wɔresu frɛ Onyankopɔn.
Kwasekusithi emva kwalezinsuku ezinengi, inkosi yeGibhithe yafa. Labantwana bakoIsrayeli babubula ngenxa yobugqili, bakhala; lokukhala kwabo kwenyukela kuNkulunkulu ngenxa yobugqili.
24 Onyankopɔn nso tiee wɔn sufrɛ no, kae ɛbɔ a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob sɛ ɔde nʼasefoɔ bɛsane aba Kanaan asase so no.
UNkulunkulu wasesizwa ukububula kwabo, uNkulunkulu wakhumbula isivumelwano sakhe loAbrahama, loIsaka, njalo loJakobe.
25 Onyankopɔn hwɛ hunuu sɛ ɛberɛ aduru sɛ ɔgye wɔn.
UNkulunkulu wasebona abantwana bakoIsrayeli, uNkulunkulu wabazi.
