4 “Bushe nauipekanya ukubapingula?* Bushe nauipekanya ukubapingula, we mwana wa muntu? Lenga beshibe ifya bunani ifyo ifikolwe fyabo fyalecita.+ 5 Ubebe auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Mu bushiku nasalile Israele,+ nalilapile* ku bana* ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Yakobo kabili nalilengele banjishiba mu calo ca Egupti.+ Cine cine nalilapile kabili nabebele nati, ‘Nine Yehova Lesa wenu.’ 6 Muli bulya bushiku nalilapile ukuti nali no kubafumya mu calo ca Egupti no kubatwala ku calo ico nabalengwilile, umwaba sana umukaka no buci.+ Icalo icawamishe* pa fyalo fyonse. 7 Lyena nabebele nati, ‘Cila muntu apoose ifya bunani ifyo aloleshapo; lekeni ukuikowesha ku tulubi twa bunani* utwa mu Egupti.+ Nine Yehova Lesa wenu.’+

8 “‘“Lelo balimpondokele, kabili tabalefwaya ukumfwa ifyo nalebeba. Tabapoosele ifya bunani ifyali pa ntanshi yabo, kabili tabashile utulubi twa bunani utwa ku Egupti.+ E ico nabebele nati, nkabapongolwela ubukali bwandi, kabili nkaleka ubukali bwandi bonse bukese pali bena mu calo ca Egupti. 9 Lelo nalicitilepo cimo pa mulandu we shina lyandi, pa kuti abantu ba mu nko abo abena Israele baleikala nabo+ bepontela ishina lyandi. Pantu nalengele banjishiba* pa menso ya ishi nko ilyo nabafumishe* mu calo ca Egupti.+ 10 E ico nabafumishe mu calo ca Egupti no kubatwala mu matololo.+

11 “‘“Lyena nabapeele amafunde yandi no bupingushi bwandi ifya kuti umuntu nga alefikonka,+ kuti aba no mweo.+ 12 Nabapeele na masabata yandi,+ aya kuba icishibilo pa kati kabo na ine,+ pa kuti baleibukisha ukuti ine ne Yehova nine ndelenga babe aba mushilo.

13 “‘“Lelo aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele balimpondokele ilyo bali mu matololo.+ Tabalekonka amafunde yandi kabili balikeene ukukonka ubupingushi bwandi, ifya kuti umuntu nga alefikonka kuti aba no mweo. Balisaalwile sana amasabata yandi. E ico nalandile ukuti nkapongolwela ubukali bwandi pali bena mu matololo pa kuti nkabalofye.+ 14 Nalicitilepo cimo pa mulandu we shina lyandi pa kuti abantu ba mu nko abamweneko ilyo nabafumishe* mu calo ca Egupti bepontela ishina lyandi.+ 15 Kabili nalilapile ukuti nshakabengishe mu calo ico nabapeele+—icalo umwaba sana umukaka no buci,+ icalo icawamisha* pa fyalo fyonse— 16 pa mulandu wa kuti balikeene ubupingushi bwandi, tabalekonka amafunde yandi kabili balisaalwile amasabata yandi pantu imitima yabo yalefwaya utulubi twabo utwa bunani.+

17 “‘“Lelo nalebomfwila uluse,* kabili nshabonawile; nshabalofeshe ilyo bali mu matololo. 18 Naebele abana babo mu matololo+ nati, ‘Mwilakonka amafunde ya fikolwe fyenu+ nelyo ubupingushi bwabo nelyo ukulaikowesha ku tulubi twabo utwa bunani. 19 Nine Yehova Lesa wenu. Mulekonka amafunde yandi kabili mulekonka ubupingushi bwandi.+ 20 Kabili muleleka amasabata yandi yaleba aya mushilo,+ kabili yaleba icishibilo pa kati kenu na ine, ica kumwibukishako ukuti nine Yehova Lesa wenu.’+

21 “‘“Lelo abana babo batendeke ukumpondokela.+ Tabalekonka amafunde yandi, kabili tabalekonka ubupingushi bwandi, ifya kuti umuntu nga alefikonka kuti aba no mweo. Balesaalula amasabata yandi. E ico natile nali no kubapongolwela ubukali bwandi, kabili nali no kuleta ubukali bwandi bonse pali bena mu matololo.+ 22 Lelo nali-ilamine+ kabili nalicitilepo cimo pa mulandu we shina lyandi,+ pa kuti abantu ba mu nko abalemonako ilyo nalebafumya* mu calo ca Egupti bepontela ishina lyandi. 23 Na kabili, nalilapile pali bena mu matololo ukuti nali no kubasalanganishisha mu nko na mu fyalo ifyalekanalekana,+ 24 pa mulandu wa kuti tabakonkele ubupingushi bwandi kabili balikeene amafunde yandi,+ balisaalwile amasabata yandi, kabili balekonka* utulubi twa bunani utwa fikolwe fyabo.+ 25 Kabili nalekele balakonka amafunde ayashaweme no bupingushi ubushali no kulenga baba no mweo.+ 26 Nalibalekele balaikowesha ku malambo yabo—ilyo baleoca amabeli yabo yonse mu mulilo+—pa kuti mbalofye na pa kuti beshibe ukuti nine Yehova.”’

27 “E ico we mwana wa muntu eba aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Ifi fine e fyo ne fikolwe fyenu fyamponteele pantu tafyali ne cishinka kuli ine. 28 Nabaletele mu calo ico nalapile ukuti nali no kubapeela.+ Ilyo bamwene utupili tonse utwasansuka ne fimuti fyonse ifya fumba,+ batampile ukutuula amalambo yabo ne mituulo ya kunkalifya. Baletuula imituulo yabo iya kacena akasuma,* kabili mu calo cine ici, e mo baleitulwila imituulo yabo iya myangashi. 29 E ico nabepwishe nati, ‘Cinshi muila kuli ici icifulo ca kupepelapo? (Ukufika na lelo citwa ukuti Icifulo ca Kupepelapo.)’”’+

30 “Nomba eba aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Bushe muleikowesha nge fyaikoweseshe ifikolwe fyenu, ilyo fyalekonkelela utulubi twa fiko utwa bunani, pa kuti ficite nato bucilende?+ 31 Kabili bushe mucili muleikowesha ukufika na buno bushiku ukupitila mu kutuula imituulo yenu ku tulubi twenu tonse utwa bunani, na mu kupitila mu koca abana benu mu mulilo?+ Bushe mulefwaya ndemwasuka nga mwaisa mu kunjipusha, nangu ca kuti mucili mulecita ifi mwe ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele?”’+

“‘Na pali ne mwine,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda, ‘nshakalemwasuka.+ 32 Kabili ifyo mutontonkanya ilyo mutila, “Na ifwe bene natube nge nko shimbi, nge nko sha mu fyalo fimbi, ishipepa* ifimuti na mabwe,”+ tafyakacitike.’”

33 “‘Na pali ne mwine,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda, ‘nkaba imfumu pali imwe kabili nkamutekela ku kuboko ukwa maka, ku kuboko ukwatambalikwa kabili nkapongolwela ubukali bwandi pali imwe.+ 34 Nkamufumya mu nko, kabili nkamulonganya ukufuma mu fyalo umo mwasalanganina ku kuboko kwandi ukwa maka, ku kuboko ukwatambalikwa e lyo na ku bukali ubo nkapongolola.+ 35 Nkamutwala mu matololo ya nko, kabili mulya mwine e mo nkalubulula nenu ninshi natuloshanya ne finso.+

36 “‘Nga filya fine nalubulwile ne fikolwe fyenu mu matololo ya calo ca Egupti, e fyo nkalubulula na imwe,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda. 37 ‘Nkalenga mukapite mwi samba lya nkonto ya kwa kacema+ kabili nkalenga mukasunge icipangano. 38 Lelo nkafumya pali imwe bacipondoka na bamembukila.+ Pantu nkabafumya mu calo icishili cabo, lelo mu calo ca Israele tabakengilemo;+ kabili mukeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.’

39 “Nomba imwe mwe ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele, ifi e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda, atila: ‘Cila muntu aleya mu kubombela utulubi twakwe utwa bunani.+ Lelo pa numa nga ca kuti tamwakulang’umfwila, tamwakatwalilile ukusaalula ishina lyandi ilya mushilo ukupitila mu malambo yenu na mu tulubi twenu utwa bunani.’+

40 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda ati, ‘Pantu mu lupili lwandi ulwa mushilo, ulupili ulutali ulwa mu Israele,+ e mo aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele bonse, bonse fye mu calo, bakamombela.+ Mulya mwine e mo nkasekelela pali bena, kabili nkafwaya imisangulo yenu ne mituulo yenu iya fisabo ifyabalilapo ukupya, ifintu fyenu fyonse ifya mushilo.+ 41 Nkasekelela pali imwe pa mulandu wa mituulo ya kacena akasuma,* ilyo nkamufumya mu nko kabili ilyo nkamulonganika ukufuma mu fyalo umo mwasalanganina;+ kabili nkalenga mukamone ukuti ndi wa mushilo ne nko nasho shikamona ifi.’+

42 “‘Kabili mukeshiba ukuti nine Yehova,+ ilyo nkamutwala mu calo ca Israele,+ mu calo ico nalapile ukuti nkapeela ifikolwe fyenu. 43 Kabili mulya mwine e mo mukebukishisha imibele yenu iyabipa na fyonse ifyo mwalecita ifyalengele muikoweshe,+ kabili mukomfwa insoni* pa fyabipa fyonse ifyo mwacitile.+ 44 Lyena mukeshiba ukuti nine Yehova ilyo nkamucita ifi pa mulandu we shina lyandi,+ te kulingana ne mibele yenu iyabipa nangu ifyabipa ifyo mucita mwe ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.”

45 Na kabili Yehova anjebele ati: 46 “We mwana wa muntu, losha icinso cobe ku kapinda ka ku kulyo kabili sesema ifyabipa ifikacitikila akapinda ka ku kulyo, sesema ne fikacitikila umutengo wa ku kapinda ka ku kulyo. 47 Eba umutengo wa ku kapinda ka ku kulyo auti, ‘Umfwa icebo ca kwa Yehova. Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Mona, ndesonteka umulilo muli iwe,+ kabili ukoca icimuti conse icibishi ne cimuti conse icauma. Ulubingu lwa uyu mulilo talwakashime,+ kabili lukoca ifinso fyonse ukufuma ku kapinda ka ku kulyo ukufika ku kapinda ka ku kuso. 48 Kabili abantu bonse bakamona ukuti ine ne Yehova, nine ngusonteke pa kuti wikashima.”’”+

49 Kabili natile: “Iye mwe Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova! Balanda pali ine abati, ‘Bushe talepika fye ubwile?’”*
