Hule kwefa kwatate babo, Ndzimu wakabadusa ikweno akabagadza muhango iyeyi yamabagele muyili; 5koga Ndzimu azotongobapa nhaka muyili, ndibva kene ipo pangalizana nenhambo yegumbo. Koga wakabagadzabgwe kuti unowhobapa iyo, ibo netjizekugwana tjabo tjinowhohha hule kwabo, nekutobe lubaka igogo baka basina mwana. 6Ndzimu wakalebeleka nabo nezila iyeyi. ‘Tjizekugwana tjitjo tjowhobe ntaya muhango isi yatjo, tjowhoyetiwa balanda banobhakhwa zwinogwadza kwemakole ali makulu mana. 7Koga ndowhotonga tjaba itjetjo tjabanowhohingila sebalanda,’ kujalo Ndzimu, ‘hule kwayikoko banowhobhuda muhango iyeyo, bakandinamata mubugalo igogu.’ 8Akakopa Abhurahhamu tjibvumilano tjethumbiwa. Abhurahhamu akaba tate baIsaka akawunthumbila muhhuba lebuhhanakadzi hule kwezwagwa kukwe. Hule kwayikoko Isaka wakaba tate baJakobe, Jakobe akaba tate babobatategulu bali gumi nebabili.”
9“Ngentha yekuti botategulu baka bana fupa nekwaJosefa, bakawuntengesa kuti anobe nlanda kuIgipita; koga Ndzimu wakaba anaye, 10akawunsunungula mubulemo gugwe gose, akawumpa butjenjebvu akayeta kuti adiwe naFaro mambo wekuIgipita; iye wakawunthama mbhati wehango yose yeIgipita nen'umba iye yose. 11Kwakahha bhamba muIgipita nemuKhenani kukadziyigwa kwazo, botate bedu bakahaya zodliwa. 12Jakobe wakati awha kuti kuna zodliwa kuIgipita, akatuma botate bedu kwekutanga. 13Bakati boyenda gwebubili, Josefa akababudza kuti ndiye yani, Faro akazibisiwa nekwehama dzaJosefa. 14Josefa wakati kubuyiwe natate babe Jakobe nehama dzose, kwaka kuli banhu bali makumi ali kutondeka nebahanu, 15Jakobe wakayenda kuIgipita, kwaakanofila iye nabotate bedu, 16bakasengwa bakabgwiliziwa kuShekemu bakabiganyiwa mukumbu tjakatengwa naAbhurahhamu nemari kubakololo baHhamo muShekemu.”
17“Kwakati lubaka gwasedzela kuti Ndzimu ahhadzise tjaakagadzabgwe Abhurahhamu, banhu bakawanda muIgipita 18kudza kuswika lubaka gwewumwe mambo wakatonga Igipita waka asingatjazibe Josefa. 19Wakabhata banhu bakanyikwedu zwakayipa, akabatshambidzila botate bedu, ebamanikidza kuti balahe bana babo batjambozwagwa kuti basitjile. 20Mulubaka igogo Mozisi wakazwagwa, waka akanaka mbeli kweNdzimu. Wakalegwa kwemimwedzi mitatu ali mun'umba yatatayi; 21paakadusigwa kuhhe, nkololokadzi waFaro wakawuntola akanowunlela senkololo uwe. 22Mozisi wakadiyiwa butjenjebvu gose gwemaGipita akabe nemasimba mukulebeleka nemuzwiyeto.”
23“Mozisi wakati atjibe nemakole makumi mana, kukaswika mumoyo uwe kuti anokumba banhu bakanyi kwabo MaIsirayeli. 24Wakabona umwe wabo ebhakhwa zwakayipa, akawunghwila, akabgwilizila ngekhikitidza Nghipita. 25Waka ekumbula kuti hama dzidze dzokuwhisisa kuti Ndzimu unowun'hingisa dzisunungula, koga dzaka dzisingakuwhisise. 26Hhuba linotobela Mozisi wakawana MaIsirayeli egwa. Akayedza kuti abawangule, eti kubali, ‘Balume, muhama; mohakilani kubadzana?’ 27Koga iwhoyo waka ethama zwakayipa kuwumwe, wakasundila Mozisi kutjena eti, ‘Ndiyani wakuthama kuti ube nlawuli nentongi pehhugwi kwedu? 28Wehaka ndibulaya sekwawakabulaya Nghipita hhulo?’ 29Mozisi wakati ekuwha ikoku akatihhila kuhango yeMidiyana kwaakanogala ali ntaya akazwala bakololo babili.”
30“Kwapinda makole makumi mana, ntumwa weNdzimu wakaboneka kuwunli, mudenje lemhiwa linopfuta moto, mutjilambanyika tjeDombo leSinayi. 31Mozisi wakati ebona ikoku, akatjenamisiwa netjaaka akalinga. Paakasedzela eti anobona ali pedlo, wakawha whi laHe. 32‘Imi ndiNdzimu wabobatategulu babo, Ndzimu waAbhurahhamu, naIsaka, naJakobe.’ Mozisi wakatetema, akasiyedze linga. 33He wakati kuwunli, ‘Mbula hangu dzidzo; ngobe bugalo gwawumile po mavu akayengemala. 34Ndabona zwakwako tshambidzigwa kwebanhu bangu muIgipita, ndawha lila kwabo, kakale ndajetuka kuti ndibasunungule. Iwe tjibuya, ndokutuma kuIgipita.’ ”
35“Ndiyezwe Mozisi iwhoyu wabakalamba nematama anoti, ‘Ndiyani wakuthama kuti ube nlawuli nentongi?’ Ndzimu wakawuntuma senlawuli nensununguli, ehingisa ntumwa weNdzimu wakaboneka mudenje lemhiwa. 36Wakabatungamila kuti babhude muhango yeIgipita athama matjenamiso nezwilakidzilo muIgipita, nepaGungwa Haba, nemutjilambanyika kwemakole ali makumi mana. 37Ndiyezwe Mozisi iwhoyo wakabudza banhu bekuIsirayeli eti, ‘Ndzimu unowhomumusila nlebesambeli unonga imi pakati kwenyu.’ 38Ndiye waka ali mugubungano mutjilambanyika panhu pan'ompela nentumwa weNdzimu wakalebeleka naye paDombo leSinayi, nabotate bedu; akawamutjila matama ebutjilo akawawamutjidza nekutili bo.”
39“Botate bedu bakalamba wuwhilila. Koga bakawunsundila ntome, mumimoyo yabo bakabgwilila kuIgipita, 40beti kuna Aroni, ‘Utithamile midzimwana inowhotitungamila; ngobe iwhoyu Mozisi wakatitungamila tibva kuhango yeIgipita, atitjaziba kuti kwayetikani kuwunli!’ 41Ndigo lubaka gwabakabumba ndzimwana wemhulu, bakahhisa tjibhayilo kundzimwana, bakahanhila mihingo yemaboko abo. 42Koga Ndzimu wakabafupatila, akabasiya kuti banamate zwivoneko zwekumakole. Sekwakwaka kwagwa mulukwalo gwebalebesambeli.
“ ‘Imwi banhu beIsirayeli,
makatongondipa zwibhayilo zwemhuka nemipilo,
kwemakole ali makumi mana mutjilambanyika?
43Makasenga thebhanekili laMoloki,
nenyenyedzi yendzimwana wenyu Refani, zwifananidzo zwamakazwitila kuti muzwinamate.
Ndizo ndemutatila mbeli kweBhabhiloni.’ ”
44“Bobatategulu baka bana thebhanekili lebusupi mutjilambanyika. Laka layetiwa sekwaka kwalebgwa ngewakabudza Mozisi kuti lithamiwe tjini, kufanana nezila yaaka abona. 45Hule kwekube bawamutjila thebhanekili, botate bedu bakabuya nalo betungamigwa naJoshuwa pabakatolela hango dzimwe njudzi dzaka dzatakhwa neNdzimu. Lakaba ipapo kudzina kunoswika lubaka gwaDavida, 46iye wakadiwa zwe neNdzimu, akakumbila kuti abakile Ndzimu waJakobe bugalo. 47Koga ndiSolomoni wakawhobakila Ndzimu n'umba.
48“Koga, uPehhugwihhugwi atogala mudzin'umba dzakabakiwa nebanhu. Sekwakalebgwa nenlebesambeli eti.
49“ ‘Kudzimu tjigalo tjangu tjebumambo,

In'umba yakatini yamungandibakila?
Kene guyayi bugalo pandinganyaluluka? Unojalo He.
50Haata maboko angu akabumba zose zwinhu izwezwi?’
51“Imwi banhu bemitshibha yakawoma, basakathumbigwa mumimoyo nemuzebe! Makafanana nabotate benyu. Mogala mulamba Meya Yakayengemala! 52Ndiwupi webalebesambeli wabasakadziyidza botate benyu ibabo? Bakabulaya banhu bakalebesambeli hha kweWakalulama, iyezwe imwi wamatjitengesa mukabulaya, 53imwi makawamutjila nlayo wakahhisiwa nebatumwa beNdzimu koga amuzowuntobela.”
