< 2 Mose 3 >
1 Ɛda bi na Mose rehwɛ nʼase Yetro a ɔyɛ Midian ɔsɔfoɔ nnwan. Ɔde nnwan no wuraa ɛserɛ no mu kɔɔ akyirikyiri kɔduruu Horeb a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn bepɔ no so.
UMozisi wayeselusa-ke umhlambi kaJetro uyisezala, umpristi weMidiyani; waqhuba umhlambi waya ngaphambili kwenkangala waze wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu, eHorebe.
2 Prɛko pɛ, na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ daa ne ho adi sɛ gyaframa wɔ wira no mu kyerɛɛ no. Mose hunuu sɛ wira no redɛre nanso na ɛnhye.
Njalo ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye elangabini lomlilo liphuma phakathi kwesihlahla; wasebona, khangela-ke, isihlahla sivutha umlilo, kodwa isihlahla sasingapheli.
3 Enti, Mose kaa sɛ, “Mɛkɔ akɔhwɛ anwanwadeɛ yi ahunu deɛ enti a wira no nhye.”
UMozisi wasesithi: Ngizaphambuka-ke ngibone lo umbono omkhulu, ukuthi kungani isihlahla singatshi.
4 Ɛberɛ a Awurade hunuu sɛ ɔrekɔhwɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ no firii wira no mu sɛ, “Mose! Mose!” Mose gyee so sɛ, “Me nie.”
Kwathi iNkosi isibonile ukuthi uphambukile ukuyabona, uNkulunkulu wambiza ephakathi kwesihlahla, wathi: Mozisi, Mozisi! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha.
5 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mmɛn me. Yi wo nan mu mpaboa na baabi a wogyina no yɛ asase kronkron.”
Wasesithi: Ungasondeli lapha; khupha amanyathela akho enyaweni zakho, ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
6 Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Mene wʼagyanom Onyankopɔn—Abraham Onyankopɔn, Isak Onyankopɔn ne Yakob Onyankopɔn.” Mose kataa nʼanim, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔsuro sɛ ɔbɛhwɛ Onyankopɔn anim.
Wathi futhi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMozisi wasefihla ubuso bakhe, ngoba esesaba ukukhangela uNkulunkulu.
7 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mahunu amanehunu a me manfoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim no wɔ mu, na mate wɔn nkotosrɛ a ɛfa wɔn nnwuma wuranom ho, na menim wɔn ahohiahia.
INkosi yasisithi: Isibili ngibonile ukuhlupheka kwesizwe sami esiseGibhithe, ngizwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yabaqhubi besibhalo babo; ngoba ngiyazazi insizi zabo;
8 Maba sɛ merebɛgye wɔn afiri Misraimfoɔ nsam na mayi wɔn afiri Misraim asase so de wɔn akɔ asase pa so—asase a ɛtrɛ; asase a ɛwoɔ ne nufosuo wɔ so—asase a Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ te soɔ no so.
njalo ngehlile ukusikhulula ezandleni zamaGibhithe, lokusenyusa kulelolizwe, ngisise elizweni elihle elibanzi, siye elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju, siye endaweni yamaKhanani lamaHethi lamaAmori lamaPerizi lamaHivi lamaJebusi.
9 Mate Israelfoɔ no su, na mahunu nya a Misraimfoɔ di wɔn no.
Khathesi-ke, khangela, ukukhala kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli sekufikile kimi; njalo lami ngibonile ucindezelo amaGibhithe abacindezela ngalo.
10 Afei, merebɛsoma wo akɔ Farao nkyɛn, akɔyi me ɔman Israel afiri Misraim.”
Khathesi-ke, woza, ngizakuthuma kuFaro ukuze ukhuphe isizwe sami, abantwana bakoIsrayeli, eGibhithe.
11 Mose bisaa sɛ, “Mene hwan a mɛtumi akɔ Farao anim akɔka sɛ merebɛyi Israelfoɔ afiri Misraim asase so?”
Kodwa uMozisi wathi kuNkulunkulu: Ngingubani mina ukuthi ngiye kuFaro, lokuthi ngikhuphe abantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe?
12 Onyankopɔn buaa no sɛ, “Mɛka wo ho. Adansedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ me na masoma wo no nie. Sɛ woyi nnipa no firi Misraim a, mobɛsom Onyankopɔn wɔ saa bepɔ yi so.”
Wasesithi: Isibili ngizakuba lawe; lalokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kuwe sokuthi mina ngikuthumile; lapho ususikhuphile isizwe eGibhithe, lizamkhonza uNkulunkulu kulintaba.
13 Mose bisaa sɛ, “Sɛ mekɔ Israelfoɔ no nkyɛn kɔka sɛ, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn na wasoma me na wɔbisa me sɛ. ‘Onyankopɔn bɛn na mereka ne ho asɛm no’ a, mmuaeɛ bɛn na memfa mma wɔn?”
UMozisi wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Khangela, nxa ngifika kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ngisithi kubo: UNkulunkulu waboyihlo ungithumile kini; bazakuthi kimi: Ungubani ibizo lakhe? Ngizathini kubo?
14 Ɔbuaa Mose sɛ, ka sɛ, “Mene deɛ ɔwɔ hɔ daa no. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Me Ara na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.’”
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuMozisi: NGINGUYE ENGINGUYE. Wathi futhi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: UNGINGUYE ungithumile kini.
15 Onyankopɔn toaa so sɛ, “Awurade a ɔyɛ mo nananom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Onyankopɔn na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.” Yei ne me edin a wɔde bɛkae me ɛda biara firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi njalo kuMozisi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: INkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe ungithumile kini; leli libizo lami kuze kube nininini, njalo lesi yisikhumbuzo sami kusizukulwana kusiya kusizukulwana.
16 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Frɛ Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ nyinaa hyia na ka hunu a wohunuu Awurade wɔ wira a na ɛredɛre mu no kyerɛ wɔn. Afei, ka asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ, ‘Makɔsra me nkurɔfoɔ na mahunu deɛ aba wɔn so wɔ Misraim no kyerɛ wɔn.
Hamba, ubuthanise abadala bakoIsrayeli, uthi kubo: INkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo ibonakele kimi, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, kaIsaka, lokaJakobe, isithi: Ngokulihambela ngilihambele, lalokho elikwenziwe eGibhithe;
17 Mehyɛ bɔ sɛ mɛyi wɔn afiri amanehunu ne animguaseɛ a wɔwɔ mu no mu na mede wɔn akɔ asase a Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ te so ɛnnɛ yi a ɛwoɔ ne nufosuo wɔ so no so.’
futhi ngathi ngizalenyusa enhluphekweni yeGibhithe, ngilise elizweni lamaKhanani lelamaHethi lelamaAmori lelamaPerizi lelamaHivi lelamaJebusi, liye elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju.
18 “Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ bɛtie wʼasɛm na wɔne wo akɔ Misraimhene hɔ akɔka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Awurade, Hebrifoɔ Onyankopɔn, ne yɛn ahyia na waka akyerɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛntu nnansa ɛkwan nkɔ ɛserɛ so nkɔbɔ afɔdeɛ mma no. Enti, ma yɛn ɛkwan.’
Njalo bazalalela ilizwi lakho. Futhi uzakuya, wena labadala bakoIsrayeli, enkosini yeGibhithe, lithi kuyo: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, ihlangene lathi; khathesi-ke, ake usiyekele sihambe ummango wensuku ezintathu siye enkangala ukuze sihlabele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
19 Nanso, menim sɛ Misraimhene remma mo ɛkwan da, gye sɛ wɔhyɛ no ketee.
Kodwa mina ngiyazi ukuthi inkosi yeGibhithe kayiyikuliyekela lihambe, ngitsho langesandla esilamandla.
20 Enti, mɛhyɛ no ketee sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ. Menam anwanwakwan so bɛsɛe Misraim na akyire no, wama mo akɔ.
Ngakho ngizakwelula isandla sami ngilitshaye iGibhithe ngezimangaliso zami zonke engizazenza phakathi kwalo; njalo emva kwalokho izaliyekela lihambe.
21 “Mɛma mo anim aba nyam Misraimfoɔ no anim na wɔahyehyɛ akyɛdeɛ ama mo, na moankɔ no nsapan.
Njalo ngizanika lesisizwe umusa emehlweni amaGibhithe. Kuzakuthi-ke mhla lisukayo, kaliyikusuka lingelalutho,
22 Ɔbaa biara mmisa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ adwinneɛ ne ntoma pa mfiri nʼafipamfoɔ ne ne fiefoɔ mmaa nkyɛn na wɔmfa nsiesie wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn mmammaa ho. Wɔnam saa yɛ so bɛpansam Misraimfoɔ ahonyadeɛ te sɛ deɛ wɔafom asadeɛ.”
kodwa wonke owesifazana uzacela kumakhelwane wakhe, lakuye ohlezihleziyo endlini yakhe, izinto zesiliva, lezinto zegolide, lemvunulo; lizazifaka emadodaneni enu lemadodakazini enu; lizawaphanga amaGibhithe.
