Esodu 2:1-25
2 Mu thangu beni, dibakala dimueka musi dikanda di Levi, wukuela muana wu Levi wunkietu.
2 Nkietu beni wuyiza ba buemba ayi wubuta muana wu dibakala. Bo kamona ti muana beni wuba kitoko, nandi wunsueka mu zingonda zitatu.
3 Bo kamona ti kabasa bue nunga ko kusueka muana beni, nandi wubonga kiphanya kivangulu mu mabubu, ayi wuvinda kiawu lukatrão ayi piche. Bosi wutula muana mu kipanyi beni, ayi wuntula va khati bititi bi muila wu Nilu.
4 Vayi khomba wunkietu w muana beni wuba wutelama ku kinanu muingi kumona mambu mankuiza monika.
5 Muana wu Falawo wunkietu, wuyenda ku muila wu Nilu muingi kue yobila ayi bisadi biandi bi bakietu baba mu ndeku muila. Bosi nandi wumona kiphanya kiba va khati bititi, diawu mu thinu katumina bisadi biandi belanda kiphanya beni.
6 Bo kazibula kiphanya beni, nandi wumona muna muana dibakala ayi muana beni waba dila. Muana wu Falawo wummona kiadi, ayi wutuba: “Muana awuwu widi wu basi Ebeleo.”*
7 Bosi khomba wunkietu wu muana beni wukamba muana wu Falawo: “Ngie wuntomba yelanda nkietu musi Ebeleo muingi kayemika muana beni ayi ka kukiebila nandi?”
8 Muana wu Falawo wunkamba: “Ngete.” Bosi mu thinu nandi wuyetela ngudi wu muana beni.
9 Muana wu Falawo wukamba ngudi yi muana beni: “Nata muana awuwu, nyemika ayi khiebila nandi, bosi minu yala kufuta.” Nkietu beni wunata muana ayi wunkieba.
10 Bo muana beni kayonzuka, nkietu beni wuyemfila kuidi muana wu Falawo. Ayi nandi wuyiza ba buka muana wu muana wu Falawo wunkietu, ayi nandi wumvana dizina Mose* ayi wutuba: “Yibe mvanina dizina adiodio, kibila mu nlangu yimbongila.”
11 Bo Mose kayiza ba nkulutu, nandi wuyenda kuba zikhomba ziandi basi Isaeli, ayi wumona ziphasi baba viokila. Mvandi wumona musi Ngipiti waba bula musi Ebeleo.
12 Bo Mose katala ku khonzu lubakala ayi ku khonzu lukietu ayi bo kakhambu mona ni mutu, nandi wuvonda musi Ngipiti bosi wunsueka kutsi nsengisini.
13 Bosi mu kilumbu kilanda, Mose wumona babakala buadi basi Ebeleo baba nuana. Diawu nandi kakambila kuidi no wuba fotu: “Kibila mbi widi mu kubudila khomb’aku?”
14 Dibakala beni wumvutudila: “Nani wukubiekizi mfundisi? Ngie wuntomba kuphonda dedi bo wuvondidi musi Ngipiti?” Mu phila ayoyo, Mose wuba boma ayi wutuba: “Bukiedika babakudi mambu yivengi!”
15 Bosi Falawo wuyiza zaba mambu Mose kavanga, diawu kaba tombila kumvonda. Vayi Mose wutina ayi wuyezingila ku ntoto wu Midian. Bo katuka kuna, nandi wukala va ndeku kisima.
16 Nganga nzambi yi Midian, wuba sambuadi di bana ba bakietu, bawu bayiza va kisima muingi kuwesa bibuangu bibulu bannuinanga nlangu, ayi kuvana mamemi ma tat’awu nlangu muingi banua.
17 Vayi minsungi mi mamemi bavitila vana, ayi dedi bo bubela kivu kiawu, bawu bakukisa bakietu, mu kibila akiokio, Mose wutelama muingi kusadisa bakietu beni, ayi wuvana mamemi nlangu muingi banua.
18 Bo bakietu beni bavutuka ku nzo tat’awu Jetru,* nandi wuba yuvula: “Kibila mbi benu luma fika vutukila ku nzo?”
19 Bawu bavutudila tat’awu: “Musi Ngipiti mueka nandi be tusadisa bo minsungi mi mamemi babe tukuka, nandi mvandi beteka nlangu muingi kuvana mamemi mitu.”
20 Jetru wukamba bana bandi: “Dibakala beni kuidi kadi? Kibila mbi lube khambu kuntuadila? Yentelanu muingi kadia yitu.”
21 Bosi Mose wukikinina kuzingila ku nzo Jetru, ayi wumvana muan’andi wunkietu Zípora muingi kaba nkazi’andi.
22 Buviokila thangu, Zípora wuba buemba ayi wubuta muana dibakala. Bosi Mose wumvana dizina Gerson* ayi wutuba: “Yima mvanina dizina adiodio, kibila minu yidi nzenza ku ntoto wu kinanu.”
23 Bo vavioka thangu yiwombo, ntinu wu Ngipiti wuyiza fua, vayi basi Isaeli batatamana kukuana mu kibila ki buvika ayi mu kibila ki ziphasi baba viokila. Ayi Nzambi yikiedika wuyuwa manyongi mawu mu kibila ki ziphasi baba viokila.
24 Bo Nzambi kayuwa manyongi mawu, nandi wutebuka monyo luwawanu kavanga na Abalahami, Izaki ayi Yakobi.
25 Mu phila ayoyo, Nzambi wuvutula thalu’andi kuidi basi Isaeli, bo kamona ziphasi baba viokila.
