2 Ye Sipora, omukali wa Musa abya iniabirisuba ewa baba wiwe ye Yetro. Kusangwa Musa abya iniabirisubya Sipora ewa Yetro
3 haghuma n’abaghala biwe babiri. Erina ly’omughuma ryabya Gershomu,* kusangwa Musa mwabugha ati, “Nabiribya mubunga omo kihugho ekite kyetu.”
4 N’erina ly’oghundi, lyabya Eliezeri,* kusangwa mwabugha ati, “OMungu wa tata waghe ni muwatikya waghe, oyo wanilamaya oko muyali wa Farao.”
5 Neryo Yetro tata-byala wa Musa mwasa eyiri Musa omo mbwarara, aho abya omo kambi oko kitwa ky’oMungu w’ekwenene. Mwasa haghuma n’abaghala ba Musa n’omukali wa Musa.
6 Neryo mwalayira oko Musa ati: “Ingye Yetro tata-byala waghu ninemwasa eyo uli haghuma n’omukali waghu n’abaghala baghu babiri.”
7 Neryo Musa mwalw’iniayahindana na tata-byala wiwe. Munama n’erimuha ebizu. Babere babiramukania, Musa mwamutwala omo hema yiwe.
8 Musa mwakanirya tata-byala wiwe y’ebyosi ebyo Yehova akolera Farao n’ekihugho kye Misri busana n’Abaisraeli. Mwamukanirya n’oko maligho wosi agho balolako omo lughendo, kandi ngoko Yehova alamayabo.
9 Yetro mwatsema akowa ebibuya byosi ebyo Yehova akolera Abaisraeli akabalamya oko Misri.*
10 Neryo Yetro mwabugha ati: “Yehova apipawe oyo wabalamaya oko Misri n’oko Farao, n’erilamya abandu biwe erilua omo byala bye Misri.
11 Neryo lino busana n’ebyo oMungu akolera abapokaya abandu biwe, namaminya ngoko Yehova ni mukulu kulenga eyindi miungu yosi.”
12 Neryo Yetro, tata-byala wa Musa mwaletera oMungu y’amahere w’eryokererya n’awandi mahere. Na Haruni n’abasyakulu bosi be Israeli mubasa bamalya akalyo haghuma na tata-byala wa Musa embere sy’oMungu w’ekwenene.
13 Engyakya, Musa mwikala akatswera abandu ngoko anabya abeghere erikola. N’abandu mubimana embere sya Musa eritsuka omo tututu erihika omw’igholo.
14 Omughulu tata-byala wa Musa alangira ebyosi ebyo Musa akakolera abandu, mwabugha ati: “Ebyo ukakolera abandu ebi ni bihi? Busanaki ukikala hano h’ighuwene, n’abandu bosi ibimana embere syaghu eritsuka omo tututu erihika omw’igholo?”
15 Musa mwasubirya tata-byala wiwe ati: “Kusangwa abandu bakabya iko banemwasa eyo niri bakasondya obusondoli bw’oMungu.
16 Omughulu hakabya omwatsi, bakanileteragho, naghe inatswera omo kati-kati k’omundu n’omulikyabo; kandi ngabwirabo erihana ry’oMungu w’ekwenene n’ebyalayiro biwe.”
17 Tata-byala wa Musa mwamubwira ati: “Ekyo ukakola ekyo, sikyowene.
18 Oko kwenene ukendiyiluhya, n’abandu abali haghuma naghu aba. Kusangwa omubiiri oyu, ni muheke munene siwangahekagho ighuwene.
19 Neryo lino unihulikirire ngakuha erihano, n’oMungu akendikuwatikya. Iwe ubye ng’omwimaniri w’abandu embere sy’oMungu w’ekwenene, n’eribya ukaleta emyatsi eyiri oMungu w’ekwenene.
20 Ukendibya ukakangiriryabo emighambo n’ebyalayiro, n’eribakangania ngoko bangayighendya n’omubiiri ogho bangakola.
21 Aliwe litolere iwasombola omo bandu mw’abalume b’amenge abakubaha oMungu, ab’eriyiketerwa kandi abaponire endundi eyikabanika omo nzira esite sy’ekwenene. Ukendibayira mo bakulu oko bandu; abakulu b’abandu 1000, abakulu b’abandu 100, abakulu b’abandu 50, n’abakulu b’abandu 10.
22 Hamabibya* omwatsi mulebe, bakendibya bakatswera abandu. Bakendibya bakakuletera omwatsi owakalire, aliwe amabibya mwatsi molo ibasohagho. Uleke baheke omuheke haghuma naghu, uyanguhiraye emyatsi.
23 Wamabikola utya, n’oMungu kw’akakuhana atya, ighukenditoka eriheka omuheke oyo; n’abandu ibakendibya bakasuba ewabo, ibanatulere.”
24 Musa mwalw’inyowa ebyo tata-byala wiwe amubwira. Mwakola ebyosi ebyo abugha.
25 Musa mwasombola abalume b’amenge omo Baisraeli bosi. Mwayirabo mo bakulu oko bandu; abakulu b’abandu 1000, abakulu b’abandu 100, abakulu b’abandu 50, n’abakulu b’abandu 10.
26 Neryo mubabya bakatswera abandu omughulu hamabya omwatsi. Omwatsi owakalire ibakatwaliragho Musa, nikwa obuli mwatsi owolobire ibakasohagho.
27 Enyuma sy’aho, Musa mwakwamanisya tata-byala wiwe. Neryo tata-byala wa Musa mwasuba omo kihugho kiwe.
