18 Biabia Yetro tshite muakuidi a mu Madiane, muko a Moyise bapushishe bioso bibaadi Efile Mukulu mukitshine Moyise na muilo wa Isalele, na bibaadi Yehowa mutushe bena Isalele mu Ejipitu.
2 Yetro muko a Moyise baadi mukuukile Sipora mukashi a Moyise, pabaadi Moyise mumualushe kuabo,
3 pamune na bana baye babidi. Umune a ku bana baye bamudikile bu Gershome, muanda Moyise bambile’shi, “Ne mufikie mu kushala bu muenyi mu kibundi kiabene,”
4 na ungi bamudikile bu Eliezere,* muanda bambile’shi, “Efile Mukulu a nshami mmukuashi ande, aye mumpaashe ku lupete lua Faraone.”
5 Paapa Yetro muko a Moyise, pamune na mukashi a Moyise na bana baye, babayile kui Moyise mu kabaaka kubaadi mushale ku muengie w’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi.
6 Akupu batumine eyi kui Moyise’shi: “Ami muko oobe Yetro, nkuete kufika kodi na mukashi oobe na bana baye babidi.”
7 Musango umune Moyise batukile, nkuenda mu kufumankana na muko aaye, aye nkukupila mpala paashi na nkumuanya kiipa. Boso babaadi beyipushene pabitale nshalelo abo, na abo nkutuela mu nshibo y’epema.
8 Moyise nkulondela muko aaye bioso bibaadi Yehowa mukite Faraone na bena Ejipitu pa muanda wa bena Isalele, nkalakashi yoso ibabaadi bafumankane nayo muishinda, na bibaadi Yehowa muibapaashe.
9 Yetro nkusanka bua mianda yoso ibuwa ibaadi Yehowa mukitshine bena Isalele pa kuibapaasha kui bena Ejipitu.*
10 Paapa Yetro nkuamba’shi: “Yehowa atumbishibue, aye muinupaashe kui bena Ejipitu na kui Faraone, na mupaashe muilo ku bukunkushi bua bena Ejipitu.
11 Binobino nauku’shi Yehowa e na bukome kukila bangi b’efile boso, pa muanda wa bibakitshina baba abakiengieshanga muilo waye n’etombo.”
12 Akupu, Yetro muko a Moyise bafikile na mulambu wa kushiika na ingi milambu bua kulambula Efile Mukulu. Alona na bakulu boso ba Isalele babafikile, abo nkudia pamune na muko a Moyise kumpala ku’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi.
13 Muifuku dibalondele, Moyise bashalele nka bu pa kiubishi bua kusambisha muilo, bantu babayimene kumpala kua Moyise kubanga ku nakashika mpa na ku kiolua.
14 Pabaadi muko a Moyise mumone bioso bibaadi Moyise akitshina muilo, bambile’shi: “A kiokitshina bino nkinyi? Buakinyi we mushale pano bupenka, na muilo oso nguimane kumpala kobe kubanga ku nakashika mpa na ku kiolua?”
15 Moyise nkulungula muko aye’shi: “Mpa muanda bantu bakuete nka kufika kuandi bua kuipusha Efile Mukulu mianda.
16 Apatuku kilumbu, abafiki nakio kuandi, abitungu nebasambishe ku muntu na muntu, na kuibaukisha bitshibilo bi’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi na miiya yaye.”
17 Muko a Moyise nkumulungula’shi: “Biabia biokitshi ta bibuwa nya.
18 Eyendo’shi wekookiesha ngofu, mpa na bantu bodi nabo, muanda uno mudimo ngukile bukopo na tue kuiukita obe nabene.
19 Binobino nteemeshe. Nakiebe kukupa elango, n’Efile Mukulu ekala nobe. Obe ekala bu muntu alesha mpala ya muilo kumpala ku’Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi, na abitungu wekale okalubuila Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi mianda.
20 Ebapatuluile bitshibilo na miiya, na webaleshe eshinda diabadia kutambukila, na mudimo wabadia kukita.
21 Anka sangula munkatshi mua muilo balume be na ngobesha, abatshinyi Efile Mukulu, balume ba kukulupila bash’abakumiina’shi bebatshibe milomo, na webatule bu ba nfumu ba bantu kinunu, ba nfumu ba bantu lukama, ba nfumu ba bantu makumi atano, na ba nfumu ba bantu ekumi.
22 Abekala abasambisha muilo apatuku bilumbu,* anka su kui kilumbu ki bukopo abafiki nakio kodi, kadi tu bilumbu tupeela bekale abata bitshibilo. Ebofuishe mianda pa kukumiina kufuba nabo pamune.
23 Su bokitshi biabia, na su mbipushene na abikumiina Efile Mukulu, okoobesha uno mudimo kalolo, na muntu oso alukiila kuaye na muloo.”
24 Musango umune Moyise bateemeshe muko aaye, aye nkukita bioso bibamulunguile.
25 Moyise nkusangula balume banyingie mu Isalele mushima, na aye nkuibatula bu ba nfumu kunundu kua muilo, ba nfumu ba bantu kinunu, ba nfumu ba bantu lukama, ba nfumu ba bantu makumi atano, na ba nfumu ba bantu ekumi.
26 Biabia babaadi abasambisha muilo pabaadi apatuku bilumbu. Anka bilumbu bi bukopo babaadi abende nabio kui Moyise, kadi babaadi abasambisha bilumbu bipeela.
27 Kunyima kua biabia, Moyise beladikishene na muko aaye, na muko aaye nkualukila muiumbo diabo.
