23“Pidafika Mose pyaka makumanayi, adanyerezera kafambira Aisraele anzache.#Kub. 2.11-15. 24Iye adaona mwanzawo mbodzi akubonereswa na munthu wa ku Iguputo, natenepo adenda kamvunulira mbabwezera pakupha munthu wa ku Iguputo ule. 25Mose adanyerezera kuti anthu ache anapidziwa kuti Mulungu anaphatisa basa iye kuti aabuluse panyatwa zawo, mbwenye iwo nee akhapidziwabi. 26Nsiku inango iye adaona amuna awiri a ku Israele okhokha akumenyana, tenepo adayesa-yesa kuavunulira. Iye adalonga mbati, ‘Ngavani amunamwe, imwe ngubaleanu, mphapo mwatani munamenyana tenepa?’ 27Mbwenye akhaboneresa mwanzache ule adamgwinyira Mose kukhundu mbavunza mbati, ‘Mbani akuikha kukhala mkadamu pontho nyakutonga miseru pakati pathu? 28Kadi iwe ukufuna kundipha ninga mudaphera iwe munthu wa ku Iguputo ule dzulo?’ 29Pidava Mose penepi adathawako ku Iguputo mbaenda kakhala ninga mlendo kudziko ya Midiani. Kweneko adabalako anache achimuna awiri.#Kub. 18.3, 4.

30“Pidagwanda pyaka makumanayi, mngelo adamuonekera Mose m'thando yatchetcha m'malulume a moto m'thenthere yakugaka chifupi na phiri ya Sinai.#Kub. 3.1-10. 31Mose adadodoma pyakwanga na pidaona iyepyo mwakuti adafendedza chifupi kuti aone mwadidi. Mbwenye iye adava fala ya Mbuya ikulonga kuti, 32‘Ine ndine Mulungu wa makolo ako, Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Isake na Yakobo.’ Tenepo Mose adatetemera na mantha, pontho hadawange mtima kuyang'anakove tayu. 33Tenepo Mbuya adampanga mbati, ‘Dula nkhwaira zako, thangwi mbuto inaponda iweyo njakuchena. 34Ine ndaona nyatwa zinaona anthu anga ku Iguputo, pontho ndava kubulira kwawo, tenepo ndatchitha kuti ndiapulumuse panyatwa. Bwera, mphapo, ndikutume uende ku Iguputo.’

Iye akhali kweneko na makolo athu, pontho na mngelo, ule adalonga naye paphiri ya Sinai mbatitambirira mphangwa zamoyo kubulukira kuna Mulungu.#Kub. 19.1—20.17; Deut. 5.1-33.

39“Mbwenye makolo athu adakhonda kumvera, mbamgwinyira kukhundu mbakhumba kubwerera pyawo ku Iguputo. 40Tenepo iwo adalonga kuna Aroni mbati, ‘Tisasanyire pyathu milungu kuti ititsogolere. Ife nkhabe dziwa pyachitikira munthu weneyu, Mose, ule adatidzesa kuno kubulukira ku Iguputo.’#Kub. 32.1. 41Penepo iwo adasasanya mfanikizo wa mwanamphulu, adapereka nsembe kuna mfanikizowo mbachita phwando yakulemedza pile pidasasanya iwo okha ene.#Kub. 32.2-6. 42Tenepo Mulungu adaapasa nkhodolo mbaaleka kuti apembedze nyenyezi za kudzulu ninga mwalemberwa ipyo m'bukhu ya maprofeti kuti,

‘Anthu a ku Israele! Si ine tayu adaphera imwe nyama zanu

43Imwe mudathukula khumbi ya milungu Moleki

yeneyi ikhali mifanikizo idasasanya imwe kuti muipembedze.

Natenepo ndinakutamisani kupiringana dziko ya Babiloni.’

Chidasasanywa ninga montho mudapangirwa Mose kuti asasanye, kutewezana na mudamuonesera Mulungu.#Kub. 25.9, 40. 45M'nduli mwache makolo athu adatambira Chikhumbicho kubulukira kuna ababawo. Iwo adachithukula pikhaenda iwo na Yoswa kapokosa dziko kuna madzinza anango adathamangiswa na Mulungu pamaso pawo ale. Chikhumbi chidakhala kweneko kufikirana ndzidzi wa Davite.#Yos. 3.14-17. 46Mulungu adakomerwa naye, tenepo Davite adavunza Mulungu kuti amtawirise kumanga nyumba yakukhalamo Mulungu wa Yakobo.#7.46 Mulungu wa Yakobo: Pyakulembwa pinango pyakale pyalonga anthu a ku Israele.#2Sam. 7.1-16; 1Mbi. 17.1-14. 47Mbwenye adammangira nyumba akhali Mfumu Solomoni.#1Maf. 6.1-38; 2Mbi. 3.1-17.

48“Mbwenye Mulungu Wakudzulu-dzulu nkhabe khala m'nyumba zakumangwa na anthu tayu. Ninga mwalongera mprofeti kuti:

49‘Mulungu alonga kuti, Kudzulu ndi mpando wanga wachifumu,

50Kadi si ine ene ndekha ndidapisasanya pinthu pyonsenepi tayu?’ ”

51Setefano adathimiza kulonga mbati, “Anthu akuchimwanika imwe! Imwe muna mtima ninga wa anthu okhonda khulupira Mulungu. Makutu anu agontha tani tenepa mwakuti mukuchimwana kuva kwene mphangwa za Mulungu? Imwe mwakhala ninga makolo anu, pontho ndzidzi onsene mumbakhonda vera Mzimu Wakuchena!#Yes. 63.10. 52Nkhabe mprofeti na mbodzi ene adasiyiwa kukhonda kubonereswa na makolo anu tayu. Iwo adapha anyamphangwa a Mulungu, ale kale ene adalonga pyakudza kwa Nyabasache Wakulungama.
