32 Bantu bamwene’mba Mosesa wabanda bingi ku mutumba.+ Onkao mambo, bakonkene pamo kwi Alona ne kumwambila’mba: “Tulengele lesa etutangijile,+ mambo kechi twayuka kintu kyamwekela uno Mosesa muntu witufumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita ne.” 2 Ponkapo Alona wibambijile’mba: “Fumyai mashikiyo a ngolode+ aji ku tulebelebe twa ku matwi a bakazhi benu, baana benu ba balume ne baana benu ba bakazhi mundetelebyo.” 3 Byonkabyo, bantu bonse batatwile kufumya mashikiyo a ngolode a ku tulebelebe twa ku matwi abo ne kwiapana kwi Alona. 4 Kepo Alona atambwile ngolode kwi abo ne kwiilenga na kyela kya kupokwelako ne kulengako kipashañano* kya mwana ñombe mulume.+ Kabiji bantu batatwile kwamba’mba: “Anweba bena Isalela, uno ye Lesa wenu wimufumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita.”+
5 Alona byo amwene kino, washimikile kya kusokelapo bitapisho kwipi na uno mwana ñombe mulume. Kepo Alona abijikile’mba: “Kesha kukekala kijiilo kwi Yehoba.” 6 Onkao mambo, pa juba jalondejilepo bantu babuukile lukelokelo ne kutendeka kulambula milambo ya kusoka ne milambo ya mutende. Byo apwishishe kuba bino, bantu baikele na kuja ne kutoma. Kepo baimene ne kusangalala.+
7 Ponkapo Yehoba waambijile Mosesa amba: “Kunkuluka, mambo bantu bobe bo wafumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita batamisha.+ 8 Basenduka mu jishinda jo nebakambizhe kuyamo.+ Belengela abo bene kipashañano* kya mwana ñombe mulume, kabiji babena kwikilambila ne kwikitapishisha bitapisho ne kwamba’mba, ‘Anweba bena Isalela, uno ye Lesa wenu wimufumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita.’” 9 Yehoba wabuujile Mosesa amba: “Namona kuba’mba bano ke bantu bakosa* michima.+ 10 Pano akindeke, na mambo a bukaji bwami mbena kwibavizha kabiji obewa nkakwalula ke kisaka kikatampe.”+
11 Kepo Mosesa asashijile* Yehoba Lesa wanji+ ne kumushikisha’mba: “Mambo ka anweba Yehoba, o musakuzhingijila bantu benu bo mwafumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita na bulume bukatampe ne na kuboko kwenu kwakosa?+ 12 Nanchi bena Ijipita kechi bakamba’mba, ‘Wajinga na mulanguluko watama pa kwibalupulamo, aye wakebelengatu kwibepayila mu mitumba ne kwibazhiya pano pa ntanda nenyi?’+ Tontololai bukaji bwenu ne kubwezhamo muchima* pa kuba’mba mubule kuleta kino kya malwa pa bantu benu. 13 Vulukai bakalume benu ba Abalahama, Izaka ne Isalela bo mwachipileko ne kwamba’mba: ‘Nkalengela baana* benu kuvula nobe tubangabanga twa mwiulu,+ kabiji kino kyalo kyonse kyo natongola nkekipana ku baana* benu kuba’mba bakekitambule kwikala ke kyabo myaka ne myaka.’”+
14 Onkao mambo, Yehoba wabwezhezhemo muchima* ne kubula kwiboba bantu banji kintu kyatama kyo aambile.+
15 Kepo Mosesa aalulukile ne kukunkuluka kufuma ku mutumba saka asenda mu kuboko kwanji+ mabwe apapakana abiji a Lushimuno.+ Ano mabwe beanembele bushiya ne bushiya; banembelepo kunyuma ne kulutwe. 16 Ano mabwe apapakana bealengele kwi Lesa, ne bintu byo banembelepo Lesa ye wibinembele kya kukololola.+ 17 Yoshua byo aumvwine mawi a bantu babijikilenga, waambijile Mosesa amba: “Mu kampu mubena kumvwanyika kiwowo kya nkondo.” 18 Bino Mosesa wamwambijile’mba:
“Akyo kechi kiwowo kya kwimba kwa kushinda nkondo* ne,
Kabiji kechi kiwowo kya kujila na mambo a kushindwa ne;
Mbena kumvwa kiwowo kya kwimba kwapusanako.”
19 Kabiji Mosesa byo anangijilenga kwipi na kampu ne kumona mwana ñombe+ ne bantu saka bazha, wazhingijile bingi ne kutaya panshi mabwe apapakana ajinga mu kuboko kwanji ne kwialalaula munshi ya mutumba.+ 20 Washikwile mwana ñombe ye balengele ne kumusoka mu mujilo ne kumuvingakanya yense ke bungatu;+ kepo ebusukumwijile mu mema ne kwibatomeshao bena Isalela.+ 21 Kabiji Mosesa washikishe Alona amba: “Nanchi bano bantu bemujimbaikile byepi pa kuba’mba mwibaletele buno bubi bukatampe?” 22 Alona wakumbwile’mba: “Nkambo, kange munzhingijile ne. Anweba mwayukishatu bulongo amba bano bantu bakeba bingi kuba byatama.+ 23 Byonkabyo, bañambijile’mba, ‘Tulengele lesa etutangijile, mambo kechi twayuka kintu kyamwekela uno Mosesa muntu witufumishe mu kyalo kya Ijipita ne.’+ 24 Onkao mambo, amiwa nebambijile namba, ‘Muntu yense uji na bintu bya ngolode ebivuule ne kwibileta kwi amiwa.’ Kepo nebitayile mu mujilo ne abyo byaalukile ke mwana ñombe.”
25 Mosesa wamwene’mba bantu bezhilulula, mambo Alona wibalengejile kwizhilulula, kabiji akino kibalengejile kwibalengulula ku balwanyi babo. 26 Kepo Mosesa aimene ku kibelo kya kampu ne kwamba’mba: “Ñanyi uji ku lubaji lwa Yehoba? Eye ko nji!”+ Kabiji bena Levi bonse bakonkene konka ko ajinga. 27 Ponkapo wibambijile’mba: “Abino byo byaamba Yehoba Lesa wa Isalela amba, ‘Muntu yense akase mpoko yanji mu lubunda ne kupitañana monse mu kampu ku kibelo ku kibelo ne kwipaya mulongo wanji, kwipaya ye ekala nanji kipikipi ne mulunda nanji.’”+ 28 Bena Levi baubile monka mwibabuujile Mosesa. Onkao mambo, banabalume nobe 3,000 bebepayile pa joja juba. 29 Kepo Mosesa aambile’mba: “Lelo mwizhijike* kwi Yehoba, mambo muntu yense waipaya mwananji wa mulume ne mulongo wanji;+ lelo Lesa usakumupesha.”+
30 Pa juba jalondejilepo, Mosesa waambijile bantu amba: “Mwalenga mambo akatampe, pano nsakuya kwi Yehoba ne kumubuula umvwe usakwimulekelako mambo enu.”+ 31 Onkao mambo, Mosesa wabwelele kwi Yehoba ne kumubuula’mba: “Bano bantu balenga mambo akatampe! Belengejile abo bene lesa wa ngolode!+ 32 Pano umvwe mwaswa, balekelaiko mambo abo;+ pakuba umvwe mwakana, mufuute jizhina jami mu buku wenu ye mwanemba.”+ 33 Nangwa byonkabyo, Yehoba waambijile Mosesa amba: “Amiwa nkafuuta mu buku wami muntu yenka wandenga mambo. 34 Pano obewa yanga ukatangijile bantu ne kwibatwala ku mpunzha yo nakubuujile. Umvwa! Malaika wami ukatangilako kulutwe yobe+ kabiji pa juba jo nkebatotolwesha, nkebakabisha na mambo a bubi bwabo.” 35 Kepo Yehoba atumine kinkunka pa bantu na mambo a kuba balengele mwana ñombe, yenka Alona ye ebalengejile.
