1 Zuwa limwe, Musa nayali yodima chilundo cha ming'holo ja mgosi wa heye, Yesilo, mtambika wa Midiani. Musa nakachihilika chila chilundo ubanzi wa kolizibilaga isanya mwa kuchiwala, nakachifichila chidunda cha Holebu, chidunda cha Nguluwi. 2 Lelo mhilisi wa Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlawila mlilapi lya chiluli hagati na chisosolo. Musa nakalola, nakabubuwala kona chisosolo chikwaka chiluli na hambe chilakale. 3 Lelo Musa nakelonjelela, “Achi ndo chinduzanduza. Chisosolo kwaka na hambe chilakale? Tandi ndute behi, ndole goya.” 4 Mkulu Nguluwi loyamuwene Musa yogalamka kuchilola chisosolo, nakamchema hala mchisosolo, “Musa! Musa!” Musa nakedichila, “Ena! Heni nda baha.” 5 Nguluwi nakamlonjela, “Uleche kuhejela habehi. Uvule makwamba gako kwa vila honhu aha howimile ndo helile.” 6 Hamba Nguluwi nakamlonjela, “Heni nda Nguluwi wa mhaza wa hegwe Abulahamu na Nguluwi wa Isaka na Nguluwi wa Yakobo.” Musa nakagubika meho gake kwa vila nakadumba kumlola Nguluwi.

7 Hamba Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlonjela, “Ndangukomya mbona ng'hatu kugaya kwa wanhu wa heni wawele Misili na nyhulika chililo cha hewo chambuzwe na walolezi wa Wamisili. Ndigazela magazo ga hewo, 8 ahyo mbuya leka ndiwagombole mmoko mwa Wamisili. Ndowalavya amo muisi na kuwahilika kuli isi inojile na ng'hulu, isi iwele na mboto, isi ya Wakanaani na Wahiti na Waamoli na Wapelisi na Wahivi na Wayebusi. 9 Ena, chililo cha Waisilaeli chimbuyila, mbona Wamisili vyowalinguwagaza. 10 Lelo ulute ndangukulajiza kwa Falao leka uwalavye wanhu wa heni, Waisilaeli muisi ya Misili.” 11 Ila Musa nakamlonjela Nguluwi, “Heni nda whaani mbaka ndimlutile Falao na kuwalavya Waisilaeli kuli isi ya Misili?” 12 Nguluwi nakamlonjela, “Heni ndowa hamwe na hegwe. Houwalavile wanhu wa Isilaeli kulawa Misili na kuya kufugamila heni mchidunda chichi. Awu wowa ndo ulajilo kota ndo heni Nguluwi ndikulajize hegwe.”

13 Aho, Musa nakamlonjela Nguluwi, “Lelo londiwalutila Waisilaeli na kuwalonjela, ‘Nguluwi wa wasekulu wa hemwe nakanhuma kwa hemwe,’ nawo howombuza, ‘Itagwa lyake lyani,’ ndowalonjela choni?” 14 Nguluwi nakamwidichila Musa, “HENI NDO NDIWELE.” Na kahi nakalonga, “Walonjele ahi wanhu wa Waisilaeli, ‘Yula yalinguchemigwa, HENI NDIWELE, kandajiza kwa hemwe.’ ” 15 Nguluwi nakamlonjela Musa, “Walonjele ahi Waisilaeli, ‘Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa wasekulu wa hemwe na Nguluwi wa Abulahamu na Nguluwi wa Isaka na Nguluwi wa Yakobo, nakandajiza kwa hemwe. Ali ndo itagwa lyangu mazuwa gose, na ahyo ndo vyondiwa ndikumbuchilwa mli lulelo lweng'ha.’ 16 Luta ukawakungajize wasekulu wa Isilaeli na kuwalonjela, ‘Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa wasekulu wa hemwe, Nguluwi wa Abulahamu na Nguluwi wa Isaka na Nguluwi wa Yakobo, nakandawila na kulonga, “Ndiwalolani na kona isungu kwa kuzona mbuli zomlinguditilwa kuli isi ya Misili. 17 Ndangilaha kota ndowalavya mli kugaya kwa hemwe ako Misili na kuwahilika kuli isi ya Wakanaani na Wahiti na Waamoli na Wapelisi na Wahivi na Wayebusi, ndowahilika kuli isi iwele na mboto.” ’

18 “Hewo wokuhulichiza, nagwe hamwe na wasekulu wa Waisilaeli momlutila mndewa wa Misili na kumlonjela, ‘Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa Waebulaniya, nakatulawila. Lelo utukundize twinule majendo ga mazuwa gadatu kuchiwala, tukamlavile nhambiko Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa hetwe.’ 19 Ndivizela kota mndewa wa Misili howakundiza muche mbaka yavizele kota heni ndina ludali ng'hatu kusinda heye. 20 Lelo ndowalajila ludali lwa heni kwa kuitowa isi ya Misili kwa vinduzanduza vyondiza dita ako. Hamba mndewa kowalechela muche. 21 Kahi ndogana mbone Wamisili wowakunda Waisilaeli, na homkuka Misili, hamkuka moko hela. 22 Chila mdala wa Chiebulaniya komlanda wekalase behi na heye Mmisili ama mjenzi yawele mng'handa ya heye, yamhe vinhu vilingupulika vya sendi na zahabu hamwe na nguwo. Ahyo mowavika wana wa hemwe wasongolo na wadala. Ahyo ndo Waisilaeli vyowaholile lufufu lwa Wamisili.”
