Lesa wabulemu walabonekela kuli mushali wetu mukulukulu Abulahamu mpwalikwikala ku Mesopotamiya, katanalongela ku Halani. 3 Walamwambileti, ‘Fuma mucishi cakobe, ushiye banse bobe, wenga kucishi nceti ndikuleshe.’ 4 Walafuma mucishi ca Akaladayo nekuya kwikala ku Halani. Baishi mpobalafwa, Lesa walamufunyako ne kumuleta mucishi cino ncomwekalamo lelo. 5 Lesa uliya kumupako nakaba kabela kang'ana kacishici kuba kakendi mwine. Nsombi walamulayeti, cishi conseci nicikabe cakendi ne bashikulu bendi, nikukabeti nkalikukute mwana pacindico. 6 Lesa walamwambileti, ‘Bashikulu bobe nibakabe basha mucishi cabwensu moti bakapenshewe kwa byaka myanda ina.’ 7 Kayi Lesa walambeti, ‘Ame ninkape mulandu mushobo uyo weti ukabasunge busha. Balo nibakapule mucishico ne kwisa kunkambilila pamusena uno.’ 8 Lesa walapangana ne Abulahamu, ne kumupa cingashilo ico ecando cakupalulwa. Neco Abulahamu walamupalula Isake mwanendi, kakute masuba asanu ne atatu akusemwa. Neye Isake walapalula Yakobo mwanendi, neye Yakobo walapalula banabendi bali likumi ne babili, abo ebamashali betu bakulukulu. 9 Abo bamashali betu balamunyonokela Yosefe mukwabo, balamulisha busha ku Injipito. Nsombi Lesa walikuba nendi, 10 cakwinseti, walamupulusha mu mapensho akendi onse. Walamupa mano alenshisha kwambeti, Mwami Falawo waku Injipito amuyande, kayi walamubika Yosefe kuba muntu shikwendelesha cishi ca Injipito, kayi mukulene shikulangilila pamukowa wakendi Falawo wonse. 11 Nomba mwalaba nsala mucishi conse ca Injipito ne Kenani, bantu balapenga, ne bamashali betu kumo balabula cakulya. 12 Yakobo mpwalanyumfweti ku Injipito kuli cakulya, walatumako banabendi bamashali betu. Ubu bwalikuba bulwendo bwabo bwakutanguna. 13 Pabulwendo bwabo bwacibili, Yosefe walaliyubulula kubakwabo, kayi walamwinshibisha Mwami Falawo shabanse bendi bonse. 14 Yosefe walabakuwa baishi ba Yakobo, pamo ne banse bendi. Bonse pamo balikuba bantu makumi asanu ne abili ne basanu. 15 Yakobo walaya kwikala ku Injipito pamo ne bamashali betu basa. Bonse balafwila kopeloko. 16 Bitumbi byabo byalakabikwa ku Sekemu, kunamaumbwe awo Abulahamu ngwalaula ne mali kubana bendi Hamoli ku Sekemu.
17 “Cindi mpocalashika pepi kwambeti Lesa akwanilishe cipangano ncalambila Abulahamu, mushobo wetu wali kauli ulafulu mu Injipito. 18 Panyuma pakendi kwalapyana Mwami naumbi mu Injipito walikubula kumwinshiba Yosefe. 19 Mwami uyo walaupita panshi mushobo wetu, walatatika kupensha bamashali betu, pakubakakatisheti bashiyenga bana babo pansa kwambeti bafwe. 20 Pacindico Mose walasemwa, walikuba mwana wapa. Walalelwa ne kwa myenshi itatu mung'anda ya baishi. 21 Mpobalamushiya pansa mwanendi Falawo mutukashi walamumanta, walikumuleleti mwanendi. 22 Neco Mose walaiya mano a bantu bonse baku Injipito, mano ne ncito shakendi shalikuba shangofu.”
23 “Mose mpwalaba ne byaka makumi ana, walayeya kuya kufwakashila banse bendi bene Islayeli.” 24 Lino mpwalabona mwine Injipito kapensha umo wabanse bendi, Mose walamufuna mwine Islayeli ne kumushina mwine Injipito. 25 Walikuyeyeti banse bendi bene Islayeli nibenshibe kwambeti Lesa, kufumina muli Mose nakabapulushe, nsombi balo baliya kwingashileco. 26 Mpobwalaca mumene walacana bene Islayeli babili kabalwana. Walelekesha kubafuna. Walabambileti, “Amwe batuloba, moba mukowa umo, inga mulalwanininga cani?” 27 Nomba uyo walasoka munendi, walanyakila Mose pambali ne kwambeti, “Niyani walakubiketi ube mutangunishi shikutombolosha? 28 Sena ulayandanga kunshina mbuli ncowashina mwine Injipito usa lilo?” 29 Mpwalanyumfweco, Mose walafwambila kucishi censu ca Midyani. Kopeloko nkwalasemena bana batuloba babili.
30 “Lino mpokwalapita byaka makumi ana, mungelo walabonekela kuli Mose mucinyika pepi ne mulundu wa Sinai, pacinkupu cisa calikubangila mulilo mucinyika. 31 Mose mpwalaboneci walakankamana, walaseng'ena pepi kwambeti abonesheshe.” Popelapo walanyumfwa liswi lya Lesa lyakwambeti, 32 “Ame njame Lesa wabamashali bakobe, Lesa wa Abulahamu ne Isake ne Yakobo.” Popelapo Mose walatatika kututuma ne kutina cakwinseti calala kulangako. 33 Popelapo Lesa walamwambileti, “Kofulula nkwabilo shakobe, pakwinga pamusena apo mpowalyata Paswepa. 34 Ndabono kupenshewa kwabantu bakame mu Injipito. Ndanyumfu kulilishanya kwabo, lino ndesa kubapulusha, lino kwesa ndikutume ku Injipito.”
35 Uyo Mose engobalakana Baislayeli pakumwipusheti, “Niyani walakubiketi ube mukulene kayi momboloshi wetu?” Epeloyo engwalatuma Lesa kwambeti abe mukulene kayi mupulushi, kufumina mumungelo usa walamubonekela pacinkupu cisa calikubilima mulilo. 36 Mose ewalabatangunina bantu ne kubapulisha mucishi ca Injipito, walikwinsa bishikukankamanisha, ne bingashilo ku Injipito, palwenje lufubela ne mucinyika, kwabyaka makumi ana. 37 Mose uyo ewalabambila Baislayeli kwambeti, “Lesa nakatume naumbi kufumina mubanse benu eshakabe mushinshimi eti njame.” 38 Mose ewalikuba nabo pamubungano wa Baislayeli mucinyika. Nendi ewalemana pamo ne mungelo walikwamba pakati pa bamashali betu bakulukulu pamulundu wa Sinai. Ewalatambula maswi abuyumi akutwambila.
39 “Bamashali betu bakulukulu balakana kumunyumfwila, pakwinga myoyo yabo yalikuyeya ku Injipito. 40 Neco, Aloni balamwambileti, ‘Kotupangila Lesa eshatutanguninenga, pakwinga nkatucishi cilenshiki kuli Mose, walatufunya ku Injipito.’ 41 Mumasuba opelawo balabumba cimbwanga ca mwanawang'ombe. Balatwala milumbo kucimbwanga ne kukondwa ne ncito yalabamba makasa abo.” 42 Neco Lesa walabafutatila, ne kubaleketi bakambililenga nyenyenshi shakwilu, mbuli ncocalembwa mu mabuku abashinshimi bakulukulu akwambeti,
“Amwe Baislayeli, kamutayeyangeti
Mwalikubengela ame nyama nshomwali kushina ne kutwala milumbo, kwabyaka makumi ana musa mucinyika.
43 Mwalikunyamuna lesa wenu Moleki mutente,
Ne nyenyenshi ya lesa wenu Lefani, bimbwanga mbyomwalabumba
Kwambeti mubikambililenga.
Pacebo ico ninkamutandanyine kutali, kupitilila cishi ca Babulo.”
44 “Bamashali betu bakulukulu balikukute tente wa cipangano walikulesheti Lesa mpwali pakati pabo musa mucinyika. Walapangwa mbuli Lesa ncalamwambila Mose mucikoshanyo ncalabona. 45 Uyo tente walapewa ku bamashali betu kufuma ku ba mashali babo, tente iyo yalikuba ya cishiya matongo. Yalikubapo cindi Yoswa mpwalikubatangunina, pakulamuna cishi mishobo njalatandanya Lesa. Tente iyo yalekala mpaka mucindi ca Dafeti. 46 Lesa walikumusuna Dafeti, nendi Dafeti walasenga kwambeti amwibakile ng'anda, Lesa wa Yakobo. 47 Nomba Solomoni ewalebaka ng'andeyo. 48 Nikukabeco Lesa wapita byonse, nkakute kwikala mung'anda yebakwa ne makasa, mbuli ncalamba mushinshimi mukulukulu.” Kwambeti,
49 “Lesa lambangeti, Kwilu ecipuna cakame ca Bwami, cishi capanshi epakulyata myendo yakame.
Ngamunjibakila ng'anda ilyeconi?
Nambi nimusena ulyeconi ngondelela kupumwininamo?
50 Sena ntame ndalapanga bintu byonsebi?”
51 Stefano walapitilisha kwambeti, “Ha! Amwe bantu balunkanwa, myoyo yenu ilyeti bantu batashomo Lesa, kayi matwi enu ashinka. Mwakoshanowa ne bamashali benu bakulukulu, pakwinga nenjamwe mulakananga kunyumfwila Mushimu Uswepa.” 52 “Sena pali mushinshimi ngobalabula kupensha bamashali benu bakulukulu? Paliyawa, balo balikushina bantu balikwamba shakwisa kwa Musebenshi Waswepa usa. Nsombi amwe mwalamulisha kubalwani bakendi ne kumushina. 53 Amwe omwalatambula Milawo ya Lesa njobalikuleta bangelo pacishi capanshi, nsombi amwe muliya kwikonkela sobwe.”

54 Neco Bomboloshi bankuta inene mpobalanyumfwa maswi onse ngalamba Stefano, balatatika kubimba myoyo cebo cabukalu. 55 Stefano walesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walalanga kwilu, walabona bulemeneno bwakendi Lesa, kayi walabona Yesu kali wemana kucikasa cakululyo ca Lesa. 56 Popelapo walambeti, “kamubonani!
