Eksodho

14 Yahova apanga Mose: 2 “Panga Aizraeli toera abwerere, amange nsasa wawo patsogolo pa Pi-Airoti, pakati pa Migidholi na bara. Musafunika kumanga nsasa wanu cifupi na bara, kutsogolo kwa Bhaale-Zefoni.+ 3 Buluka penepo Farau anadzalonga ipi thangwi ya Aizraeli: ‘Iwo akundzendza-ndzendza mbasowa cakucita mu dziko. Iwo afungirika nʼthando.’ 4 Ine ndinadzatawirisa kuti Farau aumise ntima wace,+ pontho iye anadzakutowererani. Ine ndinadzapasika mbiri ndingakunda Farau na nsoka onsene wa anyankhondo ace;+ mwandimomwene Aejitu anadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova.”+ Natenepa Aizraeli acita pyenepi.

5 Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, Farau mambo wa ku Ejitu apangwa kuti mbumba yathawa. Mwakucimbiza Farau na atumiki ace acinja manyerezero awo thangwi ya Aizraeli,+ mbalonga: “Thangwi yanji tacita pyenepi? Thangwi yanji tatawirisa kuti Aizraeli, mabitcu athu ale aende pyawo?” 6 Natenepa iye akhunganya ngolo zace za nkhondo, mbakwata anyankhondo ace.+ 7 Iye akwata ngolo zadidi kakamwe zakukwana 600 na ngolo zinango zonsene za mu Ejitu, na anyankhondo pa ngolo ibodzi na ibodzi. 8 Natenepa Yahova atawirisa kuti Farau mambo wa ku Ejitu aumise ntima wace, iye atowerera Aizraeli, mu ndzidzi ukhabuluka Aizraeli mwakukhonda gopa.*+ 9 Aejitu aatowerera,+ pontho makavalo onsene akhakwewa ngolo za Farau, anyamakavalo na anyankhondo ace afendedzera Aizraeli pikhali iwo mʼmisasa mwawo cifupi na bara, dhuzi na Pi-Airoti, kutsogolo kwa Bhaale-Zefoni.

10 Pidafendedzera Farau, Aizraeli aona kuti akhatowererwa na Aejitu. Aizraeli agopa kakamwe mbatoma kulira kuna Yahova+ toera kuphemba ciphedzo. 11 Iwo apanga Mose: “Kodi watibweresa kuno toera tifere nʼthando+ muno thangwi ku Ejitu nkhabeko masiye? Ninji pyenepi pidaticitira iwe? Thangwi yanji watibulusa ku Ejitu? 12 Kodi si pyenepi tayu pidakupanga ife ku Ejitu kuti: ‘Tisiye pyathu titumikire Aejitu’? Thangwi mphyadidi kakamwe kwa ife kutumikira Aejitu kupiringana kufera nʼthando muno.”+ 13 Penepo Mose apanga mbumba: “Lekani kugopa.+ Khalani na cinyindiro, pontho onani cipulumuso cinafuna kukupasani Yahova lero.+ Thangwi Aejitu anewa anaona imwe lero, cipo munadzaaona pontho.+ 14 Yahova ndiye anafuna kudzakumenyerani nkhondo,+ imwe munadzamatama mbamukhonda kucita cinthu.”

15 Yahova apanga Mose: “Thangwi yanji usapitiriza kukhuwa kuna ine? Panga Aizraeli kuti alamuke aende. 16 Mbwenye iwe kwata ndodo yako uthonye bara toera igawike, toera Aizraeli akwanise kupita na pa mataka akuuma pakati pa bara. 17 Ine ndinatawirisa kuti Aejitu aumise mitima yawo, natenepa iwo anadzaatowerera; munjira ineyi ndinadzapasika mbiri ndingadzakunda Farau na anyankhondo ace onsene, ngolo zace za nkhondo na anyamakavalo+ ace. 18 Mwandimomwene Aejitu anadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova ndingapasika mbiri pakumala kukunda Farau, ngolo zace za nkhondo na anyamakavalo+ ace.”

19 Buluka penepo, anju adatumwa na Mulungu wandimomwene+ toera kuenda patsogolo pa Aizraeli abuluka mbaenda nduli mwawo, pontho khole yakuti ikhali patsogolo pawo yabwerera nduli, mbilimira nduli mwawo.+ 20 Natenepa khole yalimira pakati, uku anyankhondo a Ejitu uku mbumba ya Izraeli.+ Khole yacitisa kuti kukhundu ya Aejitu kukhale na cidima, mbwenye kukhundu ya Aizraeli kuoneke ceza namasiku.+ Na thangwi ineyi, nsoka ubodzi nee wakwanisa kufendedzera nsoka unango masiku anewa onsene.

21 Mose athonya bara+ na ndodo yace; Yahova asosesa mphepo yakuwanga yakumabulukiro a dzuwa yakuti yaphuphudza na kupepesa, madzi a mʼbara agawika+ mʼmakhundu mawiri, pakati mbapasala mataka akuuma.+ 22 Natenepa Aizraeli apita na pakati pa bara pa mataka akuuma,+ madzi akhali ninga mpanda kukhundu yawo yamadyo na yabzwere.+ 23 Aejitu aatowerera, pontho makavalo onsene a Farau, ngolo zace za nkhondo na anyamakavalo ace atoma kuatowerera nduli mwawo mʼbara.+ 24 Pa ndzidzi unalira madzongwe akumalisa,* Yahova ayangʼana Aejitu kubulukira pa khole+ na pa khole ya moto, mbadzudzumisa anyankhondo a Ejitu. 25 Iye apitiriza kuleresa maroda a ngolo zawo, natenepa iwo akhanentseka toera kuzifambisa, pontho Aejitu akhalonga: “Tendeni tithawe Aizraeli, thangwi Yahova ali kumenya nkhondo na ife Aejitu+ toera kuphedza Aizraeli.”

26 Yahova apanga Mose: “Lamusa djanja yako uthonye bara toera madzi aphatane, abize Aejitu, ngolo zawo za nkhondo na anyamakavalo awo.” 27 Mwakucimbiza Mose alamusa djanja yace mbathonya bara, mukhaca kunja madzi abwerera pontho ninga mukhali iwo kale. Aejitu ayesera kuthawa madzi, mbwenye Yahova aabiza mʼmadzi pakati pa bara.+ 28 Madzi anewa abwerera mbabiza ngolo za nkhondo, anyamakavalo na anyankhondo onsene a Farau adatowerera+ Aizraeli pakati pa bara. Nkhabepo adapulumuka,+ nee mʼbodzi wa iwo.

29 Mbwenye Aizraeli awambuka na pa mataka akuuma pakati pa bara,+ madzi akhali ninga mpanda kukhundu yawo yamadyo na yabzwere.+ 30 Natenepa, pa ntsiku ineyi Yahova apulumusa Aizraeli mʼmanja mwa Aejitu,+ Aizraeli aona Aejitu adafa pagombe ya bara. 31 Aizraeli aonambo mphambvu zikulu zidaphatisira Yahova toera kukunda Aejitu, natenepa mbumba yatoma kugopa Yahova, mbakhulupira Yahova pabodzi na Mose,+ ntumiki wace.
