3 Mose wuyiza ba nsungi wu mamemi ma nkuekizi’andi Jetru nganga nzambi yi Midiqn. Bo kaba nata mamemi ku thandu ku khonzu oeste, nandi wuvitila ku Horebe mongo wu Nzambi yikiedika.
2 Bosi mbasi yi Yave yimonikina Mose va khati mbazu yaba lema mu mua nti wu zitsendi. Bo Mose katala mua nti beni, nandi wumona ti wawu wabasa via ko.
3 Diawu Mose katubila: “Yamfikama vana muingi kumona buboti mambu amomo ma kukuitukila, ayi kuzaba kibila mbi mua nti beni wu zitsendi wukhambu vila.”
4 Bo Yave kamona ti Mose waba fikama muingi kutala mua nti beni, vana khati mbazu nandi wuntela: “Mose! Mose!” Nandi wuntambudila: “Minu kawu.”
5 Bosi Nzambi wunkamba: “Bika bue fikama. Vula zisandali ziaku, kibila kibuangu widi wutelama kidi kinlongo.”
6 Nzambi wubue tuba: “Minu yidi Nzambi yi tat’aku, Nzambi yi Abalahami, yi Izaki ayi yi Yakobi.” Mu kibila akiokio, Mose wufuka kizizi kiandi kibila wuba boma bu kutala Nzambi yikiedika.
7 Yave wubue tuba: “Yizebi buboti ziphasi dikabu diama badi mu kuviokila ku Ngipiti, ayi yibe kuwa manyongi mawu mu kibila ki bisalu bingolo badi mu kuba kuika kuvanga, ayi yizebi buboti ti badi mu kutovuka.
8 Minu veka yenkuenda kuna muingi kuba kula mu mioko mi basi Ngipiti, ayi kuba botula kuna muingi kuba nata ku ntoto wumboti wuwedi wika* ayi leta, kizunga ki basi kanani, zi hitita, zi amorreu, zi perizeu, zi heveu ayi zi jebuzeu.
9 Buabu yima kuwa manyongi ma basi Isaeli, ayi yima mona phila basi Ngipiti badi mu kuba tuadisila ziphasi.
10 Minu yeku fila kuidi Falawo, ayi ngiewu wunkuiza basisa dikabu diama Isaeli ku Ngipiti.”
11 Bosi Mose wukamba Nzambi yi kiedika: “Minu yidi nani muingi kukuenda kuidi Falawo ayi kubotula dikabu di Isaeli ku Ngipiti?”
12 Nzambi wunkamba: “Minu yala ba yaku, ayi akiki kiawu kidimbu ya kuvana muingi wuba lufiatu ti minu yibe kufila: Bo wala botula dikabu di Isaeli ku Ngipiti, benu luala buongimina Nzambi yikiedika mu mongo awuwu.”
13 Vayi Mose wukamba Nzambi yikiedika: “Buabu minu kukuenda kuidi basi Isaeli ayi kuba kamba: ‘Nzambi yi zikhaya zinu nandi bemfila kuidi benu’, ayi ba kukhuvula: ‘Dizina diandi nani?’ Mbi yifueti kuba kamba?”
14 Bosi Nzambi wukamba Mose: “Minu Yinkuiza Kituka Kioso Kiuma Yitidi Kukituka.” Ayi wubue tuba: “Amama mawu mambu fueti kamba kuidi basi Isaeli: ‘Minu Yinkuiza Kituka, nandi bemfila kuidi benu.’”
15 Bosi Nzambi wubue kamba Mose:
“Amama mawu fueti kamba kuidi basi Isaeli: ‘Yave Nzambi yi zikhaya zinu, Nzambi yi Abalahami yi Izaki ayi yi Yakobi, nandi bemfila kuidi benu.’ Adiodio diawu dizina diama mu zithangu zioso ayi diawu bala thedilanga mu zimbandu zioso.
16 Buabu yenda kutikisa bakulutu ba basi Isaeli ayi wuba kamba: ‘Yave Nzambi yi zikhaya zinu, Nzambi yi Abalahami, yi Izaki ayi Nzambi yi Yakobi, wumbonikini ayi wukhambizi: “Minu yimmonanga mambu moso mambi basi Ngipiti ba luvangilanga.
17 Diawu yintubila: Minu yinkuiza lukula mu ziphasi basi Ngipiti baku lutuadisanga, ayi yala kulunata ku ntoto wu zi amorreu, wu ziperizeu, wu zi heveu ayi wu zi jebuzeu, ntoto wuwedi wika ayi leta.”’
18 “Bawu bala kikinina mambu wala tuba. Ngie wala kuenda vantuala ntinu wu Ngipiti va kimueka na bakulutu ba basi Isaeli. Benu lufueti kunkamba: ‘Yave Nzambi yi basi Ebeleo, bekoluka yitu. Diawu lemvuka, wutuvana nsua muingi tuvanga viage yi bilumbu bitatu ku thandu muingi tuevana minkhailu kuidi Yave Nzamb’itu.’
19 Vayi yizebi buboti ti, ntinu wu Ngipiti kasinkuiza luvana ko nsua muingi luenda, boti vasimmonika ko diambu dinkuiza nkuika kuvanga mawu.
20 Diawu minu yinkuiza sadila mangolo mami muingi kunuanisa tsi yi Ngipiti mu kuvanga mangitukulu mawombo kuna, ayi mu phila ayoyo, Falawo wala ku luvana nsua muingi lubasika ku Ngipiti.
21 Minu yala vanga muingi dikabu diama diba lunungu va mesu ma basi Ngipiti. Ayi bo luala basika kuna, lualasa kuenda ko mioko yi mioko.
22 Kadika nkietu musi Isaeli kafueti dinda biuma bi wola ayi bi palata, mvandi kafueti dinda bikhutu kuidi musi Ngipiti wunkalanga yandi va nsengi ayi wunkalanga ku nzo’andi. Mvandi lufueti vana biuma beni kuidi bana binu ba babakala ayi ba bakietu. Mu phila ayoyo, luala nata busina bu basi Ngipiti.”
