Efilu 2:1-25
2 Mu aa mafuku, ungi muntu a mu kisamba kia Levi, bayibakile muana a Levi mukashi.
2 Na yawa mukashi bayimite, atanda muana mulume. Bu bibamuene’shi muana baadi buwa bukile, bamufuamishe munda mua mieshi isatu.
3 Pabamuene’shi te na dingi mushindo wa kumufuamisha, batshile kisaku* kikitshibue na papirise,* aye nkuikishinga kabudimbo na oliba, akupu nkuimuela muana na nkukekitula mu malengie ku bukunkula bua muela wa Nile.
4 Kadi tat’aye baadi muimane kubula bua kumona kibaadi kilombene kumufuila.
5 Pabaadi muana mukashi a Faraone mufikie mu kuitumpa ku muela wa Nile, bafubi baye bakashi babaadi abatambukila ku bukunkula bua muela. Na bamuene kisaku munkatshi mua malengie. Musango umune batumine mufubi aaye mukashi bua kuikiata.
6 Pabaadi muikibuule, bamuene muana mulume kuete kudila. Bamupushishe lusa, na amba’shi: “Uno ngumune a ku bana ba bena Ebelu.”
7 Akupu, tata a yawa muana bayipuishe muana mukashi a Faraone’shi: “Okumiina nkakukimbile muana mukashi muina Ebelu bua’shi akomeeshe uno muana su?”
8 Muana mukashi a Faraone bamualuluile’shi: “Nda!” Musango umune yawa tat’aye bayile mu kuitanyina nyinaye na yawa muana.
9 Muana mukashi a Faraone balunguile nyina muana’shi: “Ata uno muana omungomeeshe, nakakufutu.” Yawa muana mukashi bamuatshile na aye nkumomeesha anka.
10 Pabakudile yawa muana, bamutuadile kui muana mukashi a Faraone, na aye nkufika bu muan’aye. Bamudikile bu Moyise,* na nkuamba’shi: “Muanda ne mumuate ku mema.”
11 Dingi efuku, pabaadi Moyise bapu kukula, bayile kui bakuabo bena Isalele na amona midimo i bukopo ibabadi abebafubisha, aye nkumona muina Ejipitu baadi akupila mukuabo muina Ebelu.
12 Na pabatadile ku lupese, amona’shi takui muntu baadi amumono, bayipayile yawa muina Ejipitu na aye nkumushiika mu lusenga.
13 Muifuku dibalondele bayile’nyi, na asangana bena Ebelu babidi abalu ngoshi. Balunguile yawa baadi mu kilubilo’shi: “Buakinyi okupila mukuenu?”
14 Na yawa nkumualuula’shi: “Nnanyi bakutuulu bu nfumu na bu nsushi eetu? Okiebe kungipaa bu bioyipayile muina Ejipitu su?” Biabia Moyise bapushishe moo, amba’shi: “Eyendo, uno muanda ubapu kuukibua!”
15 Na pabapushishe Faraone wawa muanda, bakimbile bia kuipaa Moyise; anka Moyise bamusuukile, aye nkuenda mu kushala muiumbo dia Madiane. Pabafikile kuakua, bashalele pepi na kitonko kia mema.
16 Tshite muakuidi a mu Madiane baadi na ba nsonguakashi musambobidi. Babayile mu kutapa mema na kuusha miomba bua kutomesha nyema ya nshabo.
17 Nka bu pa kiubishi, balami ba nyema babafikile bebabinga. Moyise nkuenda mu kukaluila* baba ba nsonguakashi na nkutomesha nyema yabo mema.
18 Pababalukiile ku nshibo kui nshabo Rewele,* bakaanyine amba’shi: “A lelo nubaluka bukidi biabia naminyi?”
19 Babamualuluile’shi: “Ungi muana mulume muina Ejipitu betukaluila kui balami ba nyema, betutapila mpa na mema, na batomesha nyema yetu.”
20 Bepuishe bana baye’shi: “Kadi yawa muana mulume e kunyi? Buakinyi nubamulekie? Muitanyineyi bua’shi tudie naye kantu pamune.”
21 Kunyima Moyise nkukumina bua kushala kua Rewele, na aye nkupa Moyise muan’aye mukashi Sipora bua’shi amuibakile.
22 Akupu, yawa mukashi bamutandiile muana, Moyise nkumudika bu Gershome,* muanda bambile’shi: “Nemufikie mu kushala bu muenyi mu kibundi kiabeene.”
23 Kunyima kua mafuku e bungi, nfumu a mu Ejipitu bafuile, anka bena Isalele babatungunukile na kukienga na kuidila pa muanda wa bupika, na kuakua kuidila kuabo kua kukimba bukuashi pa muanda wa bupika, kubaadi kutungunukie na kupushika kui Efile Mukulu a binyibinyi.
24 Nfudiilo a bioso, Efile Mukulu bapushishe kudila kuabo, na aye nkutentekiesha kilombeno kibakitshine na Abalahama, Isaake na Yakobo.
25 Biabia, Efile Mukulu batadile bena Isalele; aye nkutuula muanda wabo kuishimba.
