3 Nkeerelha, ‘Nthame wiilhaponi winyu, mwaahiyeke ashilhoko inyu, nrweeke ilhapo inohalha aka uwoonihani.’
4 Paahi etu, Aburahimu nkayaathama ilhapo yo Ukaldayo, nkayarwaa uukhalhani Uharani. Athumwanaya arimeelheke, Nlhuku ahaathamiha tho Uharani nkayaawa uukhalhani ilha ilhapo nnokhalha inyu vano ilha.
5 Nlhuku khaavanhe inakhalha ikipande imoka yo ilhapo ilha ikhalhe yawaya, inakhalhaka chiicho, ahaalheha waavaha ilha ilhapo ilha ikhalhe yawaya ni iyari aya, inakhalhaka yeyo ikatema iyo Aburahimu khayaarina mwaana.

8 Yamalheke, Nlhuku aheenelha unyawo Aburahimu ukhalha phi malhehano aya. Aburahimu ni ayo nkayamwiinelha mwaamwanaya Isaka nihuku no nane toka ayariekeru. Ni Naisaka chiicho, yahenelha Nayakhobo. Chiicho etu, Nayakhobo yahenelha unyawo manyaapwiiya ihu khumi ni elhi alhe.”
9 “Manyaapwiiya alhe nkayaamwonelha ihache mwanhimaya Yusufu, nkayanthumiha wiira akhalhe ipotta Umisri. Nansho Nlhuku aari vamoka ni uyo,
10 nkaamwoopolha mu uhuvani mwawe mwonkhaye. Nlhuku ahonvahera nnema wo nrima woombone ni irusho, ata vaaphilhe awe u Nafarao amwene o Umisri nkaapangiya ni Nafarao ukhalha o weemelhelha ilhapo ilhe ni inupa ya amwene.
11 Paahi nkayaakelha ikuruna ilhapo yonkhaye yo Umisri ni Ukanaani, yaahuvinhe chinene. Manyaapwiiya ihu khayoonrie upatta yolhia iriyoothe.
12 Nayakhobo yeeweke wiira chihawo cholhia Umisri uwo, yahaaruma achishaana aya, yaani manyaapwiiya ihu, arwee Umisri wo nkwaha wo upacha athume cholhia.
13 Nkwaha aya wo nayelhi, Nayusufu nkayeechuwelhiha wa manyonnaya ni Nafarao nkayaachuwelhacha ashilhoko aya Nayusufu.
14 “Paahi etu Nayusufu yahoruma nttenga wo weehana Nayakhobo athumwanaya ni ashilhoko aya onkhaye, aaphiyelha attu makhumi saba ni nthanu wiira awe Umisri.
15 Chiichammo etu, Nayakhobo yahorwaa Umisri, waarimenlhe aya ni manyaapwiiya ihu akina.
16 Mitembo chaya chahokushiya mpaka Ushekemu, nkachaavithiya nnihiyeni mwooponlhe aya Aburahimu ukhuma nikosho na Ahamori.”
17 “Ikatema yaayekeru Nlhuku wo utimiriha malhehano eerenlhe awe Aburahimu, attu yaari Umisri ulhe yahonchereria chinene.
18 Yamalheke, mwene mmoka ahaachuwenlhe Nayusufu ahochokholha utawara ilhapo yo Umisri.
19 Ahaapangelha attu ihu ushilhilhi, ni waapangelha chittu cho uhilhoka manyaapwiiya ihu wo waakhanyereriha yaarihe vathe achishaana aya ashikaani wiira akhwaache.
20 Yaari phi ikatema vaayarelhe aya ashinna Musa, akhalhaka mwaana o urera chinene. Nkayaalhelhiya uwani wo mieri miraru unupani wa apwiiya awe,
21 ata vaathamihiye aya naarihiya umolhokoni, abiti Farao ahaakusha, ni waalhelha thoko mwaana aya onnyara anene.
22 Ashinna Musa nkayeettuchihiya uchuwelha irusho chonkhaye cha attu o Umisri, nkayaapenya wo wooria wulhumacha ni uvara mitheko.
23 “Ashinna Musa vaari aya ni malhipa o iyaakha makhumi ncheshe yaholhakelha munrimani wiira arwee oone ashilhoko aya Aisraeli cheera aya wo utwarushiya ni attu o Umisri.
24 Wowo yahomwoona mu Israeli mmoka apangelhiyaka ittu yo uhilhoka ni Mmisri. Nkayaamwaakiha ni uhokolhoshera wo umwiiva Mmisri ulhe.
25 Yaari aanyiheraka wiira Aisraeli ashilhoko aya yanchuwelha wiira Nlhuku haaruma wiira opolhe, nansho khayachuwenlhe chiicho.
26 Waashelhe waya yahoona Aisraeli elhi yaana indewo, nkayaalhikacha waathaniha eeraka, ‘Mwaattiva attu o nlhoko mmoka, nnopangelhana chittu cho uhilhoka mwaashineneru?’
27 Nansho ulhe ampangelha ittu yo uhilhoka nkhunanawe ulhe nkaakakha ashinna Musa uchereshere eeraka, ‘Phi mpani oweensheni inyuva ukhalha nholhelhi o unihukumulha hii?
28 Chani, nnothanana ukiiva thoko chaamwiivilhe inyu Mmisri ulhe nchana valhe?’
29 Ashinna Musa yeeweke chiicho yahottawa nkayarwaa uukhalhani ilhapo yo Umidiani ni wowo nkayaapatta ashaana elhi.”
30 “Iyaakha makhumi ncheshe chatimireke, nnepa wo wiirimu wa Athithi wahaakhumelhelha ashinna Musa va ithuphi yaapharelha mooro uthakoni waatamana mwaako wo Usinai.
31 Ashinna Musa yahoshanga chinene voona aya yeyo ittu iyo, nkayaachushera vakhiviru wiira athurumelhe, nansho nkayeewa nlhove na Athithi,
32 ‘Mii phi Nlhuku a manyaapwiiya inyu ni Nlhuku a Aburahimu ni Nlhuku a Naisaka ni Nlhuku a Nayakhobo!’ Ashinna Musa nkayaathukumelha wo woova ni mena khayonrie uweha chinene.
33 Athithi nkayeerelha, ‘Nrulhe iratu chinyu ukhalhawaya va vaneemelha inyu va phi vakittu vatakatifu.
34 Kihoona chittu cho uhilhoka chinopangelhiya aya attu aka Umisri. Kiheewa ikutto aya ni mii kihowa woopolhani. Paahi vano, kinourumani nrwee Umisri.’ ”
35 “Ashinna Musa ayo phi alhe yaakhotiye Umisri ni attu o Uisraeli yenre, ‘Phi mpani oweensheni inyuva ukhalha nholhelhi o unihukumulha hii?’ Nlhuku ahaaruma yayo ashinna Musa ayo ukhalha aholhelhi ni moopolhi wo iphiro yo nnepa waakhumelhenlhe aya ithuphi vaapharelha aya mooro uthakhwani.
36 Phi yayo yaholhenlhe attu alhe akhume Umisri wo upanga ithikineha ni cho ushangiha, Umisri ni ubahari yo Shamu ni uthakoni iyaakha makhumi ncheshe.
37 Ashinna Musa phi erenlhe attu o Uisraeli, ‘Nlhuku nouthanlhelhani namilhohi thoko chikirumilhe awe mii, ukhuma munlhokoni mwinyu mwaashinene.’
38 Attu o Uisraeli vaathothokanne aya uthakoni, ashinna Musa yaari wowo vamoka ni ashulhupalhe ihu, ni nnepa waholhumacha ni ayo umwaakoni Usinai ulhe. Phi yayo yaapochenre malhove annivaha ukumi alhe anivahe hiyaano.”
39 “Nansho manyaapwiiya ihu yahokhota weewelhelha, nkayaakakhelha uchereshere, mirima chaya nkachaathanana uhokolhia Umisri.
40 Nkayeerelha Naharuni, ‘Nnikooroshelhe milhuku chinohalha uniholhelha. Ukhalhawaya khanichuwenlhe chaapantte ashinna Musa anithaminhe ilhapo yo Umisri!’
41 Yeyo etu phi ikatema vaakoronshe aya isinyago yo mwannama, nkayaakumihera isadaka, ni uttapelhelha ittu ikooronshe aya ashinene.
42 Nansho Nlhuku ahorukunuwa nkaathama iriyari aya, nkaahiya athimiche ittotwa cho wiirimu, thoko chilhepiye aya nkitaabuni mwa anamilhohi a Nlhuku,
‘Mwaatti attu o Uisraeli!
Akihiwe phi mii mwaakihithenlhe ashinama ni ukivaha isadaka
wo iyaakha makhumi ncheshe uthakoni ulhe.
43 Mwaattiva mwahokusha nihema na nlhuku Moleki, ni isinyago yo ittotwa ya nlhuku inyu Refani.
Mwaathimicha isinyago chaapanganche inyu.
Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo kinourweehani upottani utayi uvira Ubabeli!’
44 “Manyaapwiiya ihu yahokoorosha Nihema na Nlhuku no uhimiechesha wiira ri variyari aya uthakoni ulhe. Naakoroshiye thoko Nlhuku chaalhehenre aya ashinna Musa wiira apangache, nilhikaanaka thoko nne noonihiye aya.
45 Yamalheke manyaapwiiya ihu yahopocherana Nihema ashineneru mpaka ikatema i Nayoshua, vooponlhe aya ilhapo ukhuma wa amalhaponi omonlhe awe Nlhuku umiholho waya. Vavawo naholhokelha mpaka ikatema ya Adaudi.
46 Adaudi yahottuniya chinene ni Nlhuku, nkayanvekelha nipesha no utheka nipuro no ukhalha Nlhuku a Nayakhobo.
47 Nansho yanthekenlhe Nlhuku inupa yaari Naselemani.”
48 “Inakhalhaka chiicho, Nlhuku Mulhupalhe khanokhalha inupa chithekiye na attu, thoko namilhohi a Nlhuku chineera awe,
49 Athithi aneera,
‘Irimu phi machokholhelho o Imwene aka ni ilhapo phi nipitinkwa naka no waathalhelha mieto.
Inupa thoko phivi nnohalha inyu ukithekelha?
Iri vayi ihiche aka o ukhalhelha?
50 Mii vekha aka phi upilhe chittu chonkhaye chi.’ ”
51 Nastefano nkayaathepa wiira, “Inyu mwaatti o vaanyiha va! Mirima chinyu ni maaru inyu ari thoko attu o mwiilhaponi ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku. Nrii thoko manyaapwiiya inyu. Mahuku onkhaye nnonvinga Iphumu ya Nlhuku!
52 Chani hawo namilhohi a Nlhuku riyoothe hihuvihachiye ni manyaapwiiya inyu? Yaheevakacha attu yaarumiye ni Nlhuku wiira ahimiache uwa wawe uyo ri Karumiya e Ikekhiaye uyo. Ni uyo vano, nhonthumiha nkamwaamwiiva.
53 Mwaatti mwahopochera Malhehero a Nlhuku yaawiihiye ni minepa, nansho khamwaarumelhenlhe.”
Waatiya malhuku Nastefano
54 Ashulhupalhe veewilhe aya, yahothunalha chinene, nkayaakhuura miino wo nlhatu no urushiya.
55 Nansho Nastefano anachariye Iphumu ya Nlhuku, ahoweha wiirimu, nkoona nthimicho wa Nlhuku ni Yesu neemenlhe wiimonono wa Nlhuku.
56 Nkayeera, “Mwooneke! Kihoona irimu chihohulhiya ni Mwaana a Ntu howeemelha wiimonono wa Nlhuku.”
57 Attu onkhaye va Ipuwa vawo, ahotiyelha maaru aya wo makokho nkayaakhuwelhacha. Paahi, attu onkhaye nkayaathuphelha Nastefano,
58 nkayaapurulhelha uchereshere iwani ni uwaata malhuku. Attu yaahimiechesha ayo, nkayaarulhacha miinjiro chaya ni ummaha mmirawo mmoka eehaniya Sauli wiira alhitelhelhe.
59 Vaatiya aya malhuku, Nastefano yaari yaalhapelhaka Athithi nkayaamumulha eeraka, “Thithi Yesu, nrima aka!”
60 Nkayaakhoroma, nkayaakhuwelha, “Thithi, nhaalhakelhe uwonya waya ulha!” Olhumacheke chiicho, nkayaarimeelha.
