² Onu yaagarukamu ati: Beene waitu na baataata, nimuhurire! Ruhanga ow'ekitiinwa akabonekyera tataitwe Aburahamu, akiri Mesopotamiya, atakatwire Harani,

³ yaamugira ati: Ruga omu nsi yaanyu, n'omu b'oruganda rwanyu, oze mu nsi ei ndikworeka.

⁴ Atyo yaaruga Kalidaaya, yaatuura Harani. Bwanyima ishe ku yaafiire, Ruhanga yaamwihayo, yaamureeta omu nsi egi ei mutwiremu obwa hati.

⁵ Ruhanga taramuhaire nangwa n'ah'okuta ekigyere omuri egi nsi, ahu arikweta ahakwe ahabwe; kwonka akamuraganisa kugimuha, na bwanyima ebe ey'abaijukuru, nobu araabe yaabaire ari encwekye.

⁶ Ebigambo ebi Ruhanga yaamugambiire naagamba nawe, nibigira ngu, abaijukuru baryazaahibwa omu rindi ihanga, ei baribeera abahuuku, bakamarayo emyaka magana ana nibahatwa.

⁷ Kandi ati: Kwonka eihanga eiribahindura abahuuku ndyaricwera orubanja, bwanyima barugyeyo, bandamize omu mwanya ogu.

⁸ Atyo Ruhanga yaakora na Aburahamu endagaano eyaahamiibwe omugyezo gw'okusharwa. Omutabani Isaaka ku yaazairwe, Aburahamu yaamushara aha kiro kya munaana. Isaaka nawe nikwo yaashazire Yakobo, na Yakobo akashara atyo baatataitwe ikumi na babiri.

⁹ Baatataitwe abo bakagirira Yosefu eihari, baamuguza abaamutwaire Misiri kuba omuhuuku. Kwonka Ruhanga yaaguma nawe,

¹⁰ yaamurabya omu busaasi bwe bwona, yaamuha obwengye obwamureeteire kushongoka ahari Faraaho omugabe wa Misiri. Faraaho akahindura Yosefu ogwo omutegyeki mukuru wa Misiri, yaamuha n'okureeberera ekikaari kye kyona.

¹¹ Bwanyima enjara ekateera Misiri yoona na Kanaani, yaazireetera omugango mwingi; baatataitwe baabura ekyokurya.

¹² Yakobo, ku yaahuriire ngu Misiri hariyo engano z'okushaka, yaayoherezayo baatataitwe omurundi gw'okubanza.

¹³ Bwanyima aha murundi gwa kabiri, Yosefu yaayetondera bakuru be, kandi obuzaare bwe bwamanywa Faraaho.

¹⁴ Mpaho Yosefu nikwo kutuma kureeta Yakobo ishe n'ab'oruganda rwe boona, abantu makumi mushanju na bataano;

¹⁵ atyo Yakobo yaashuuma Misiri. We na baatataitwe ku baaherize kugwayo,

¹⁶ emitumbi yaabo yaatwarwa Shekemu, yaaziikwa omu kituuro eki Aburahamu yaabaire aguzire ahari batabani ba Hamori omuri Shekemu.

¹⁸ okuhitsya obu omugabe musya, owaabaire atarikumanya Yosefu, yaagiire aha ngoma omuri Misiri.

¹⁹ Akeehindukiriza ab'eihanga ryaitu, akaita kubi baatataitwe, naabagyemesereza kunaga abeereere baabo, ngu batakaagumaho.

²⁰ Obwo nibwo Musa yaazaarwa, ari omwana murungi orikusiimwa Ruhanga. Akamara ameezi ashatu naarererwa omwa ishe;

²² Musa yaayegyesibwa atyo eby'obwengye bw'Abanyamisiri byona, yaaba omushaija w'amaani omu bi arikugamba n'omu bi arikukora.

²³ Musa ku yaahikize emyaka makumi ana y'obukuru, yaagira ekiteekateeko ky'okuza kureeba abantu b'eihanga rye Abaisiraeli.

²⁴ Ku yaareebire omwe omuribo naatwazibwa kubi, yaamurwanaho, yaamuhoorera, yaita Omunyamisiri.

²⁵ Akateekateeka ngu beene ishe nibaija kumanya ku niwe Ruhanga atumire kubaiha omu buhuuku, kwonka bo tibaakimanya.

²⁶ Eizooba eryakuratsireho, ku yaashangire bamwe omuribo nibarwana, yaateeraho kubagarukanisa, yaabagira ati: Bagyenzi bangye, ka muri eishe-emwe, ahabw'enki nimushaagizana?

²⁷ Kwonka omushaija owaabaire naashaagiza mugyenzi we, yaamwesha naagira ati: N'oha owaakutaireho kuba omutegyeki kandi omuramuzi waitu?

²⁹ Musa ku yaakihuriire, yaahunga, yaaza kutuura omu nsi ya Midiyani, ei yaazaariire abatabani babiri.

³⁰ Ku haahingwireho emyaka makumi ana, maraika yaabonekyera Musa omu ndimi z'omuriro, ogwabaire nigwakira omu rushaka omu ihamba, haihi n'Orushozi Sinai.

³¹ Musa ku akireeba, kimutangaaza. Ku airira haihi kukyetegyereza, ahurira eiraka rya Nyakubaho nirimugira riti:

³² Niinye Ruhanga wa baashwenkuru, Ruhanga wa Aburahamu na Isaaka na Yakobo. Musa atetema, atiina kureebayo obundi.

³³ Nyakubaho amugira ati: Juura enkaito zaawe, ahabw'okuba omwanya ogu oyemereiremu n'ogurikwera.

³⁴ Buzimazima ndeebire oku abantu bangye barikwitwa kubi omuri Misiri, mpuriire entsinda yaabo; hati naija kubaiha omu buhuuku. Mbwenu ija, nkutume Misiri.

³⁵ Musa ori, ou baayangire obu baagira bati: N'oha owaakutaireho kuba omutegyeki kandi omuramuzi waitu, mbwenu niwe Ruhanga yaatuma kuba omwebembezi kandi omucunguzi, naahwerwa maraika owaamubonekyeire omu rushaka.

³⁷ Kandi Musa ogwo niwe yaagambiire Abaisiraeli ati: Ruhanga aryabaimukiza omurangi nkaanye, arugye omuri beene waanyu.

³⁸ Niwe ogwo owaabaire aine Abaisiraeli obu baateranira omu ihamba, hamwe na maraika owaamugambiriire aha Rushozi Sinai, kandi akagamba na baatataitwe. Niwe ogwo owaakwatsiibwe ebigambo by'amagara kubituha.

³⁹ Ogwo niwe baatataitwe baayangire kworobera, bakamwesha; omu mitima yaabo bakagaruka Misiri,

⁴⁰ nibagira Arooni bati: Tukorere baaruhanga, batwebembere, ahabw'okuba titurikumanya oku Musa, owaatwihire omuri Misiri, abaire.

⁴¹ Batyo baaheesha ekimasha, baahongyera ekyo kishushani ebitambo, bashemerererwa ekyo kintu ki baayekoreire.

⁴⁵ Eryo ihema baatataitwe bakaguma nibaritsigirana, okuhitsya obu Yoshua yaarihikize omu nsi ei twakubwire, tuginyagire amahanga agu Ruhanga yaabingiremu nitukihikamu. Ryaguma omwo okuhitsya omu busingye bwa Daudi,

⁴⁶ owaashongokire ahari Ruhanga, akamushaba kumwikiriza kumwombekyera Nyaruju ya Ruhanga wa Yakobo;

⁴⁷ Solomooni nobu araabe niwe yaayombekire egyo nju.

⁴⁸ Kwonka Rukiraboona we tatuura mu nju eyombekirwe emikono y'abantu, nk'oku Mukama yaagambiire omu murangi ati:

⁴⁹ Eiguru n'ekitebe kyangye ky'obugabe, n'ensi n'endibatiro yangye. Mbwenu ni nju ki ei mwakuunyombekyera? Ni mwanya ki ogu mwakumbonereza kuhuumuriramu?

⁵⁵ Na Sitefano ogwo aijwire Mutima Orikwera yaaranzya omu iguru, yaareeba Ruhanga ow'ekitiinwa, na Yesu amwemereire aha rubaju rwa buryo.

⁵⁶ Yaagira ati: Nindeeba eiguru rishuuruukire, n'Omwana w'omuntu ayemereire aha rubaju rwa Ruhanga orwa buryo.

⁵⁷ Boona ku baahuriire ekyo, baayogoorekana, baayekwata aha matu, baamweshukaho,

⁵⁸ baamushohoza aheeru y'orurembo, baamuteera amabaare. Baamushinja be baanaga emyenda yaabo aha bigyere by'omutsigazi orikwetwa Saulo.

⁵⁹ Ku baabaire nibateera Sitefano amabaare, yaahooga ati: Ai Mukama Yesu, yakiira amagara gangye.
