3 ¹Mose anali kudyetsa nkhosa za apongozi ake Yetro, wansembe wa Midiyani. Anatsogolera nkhosazo kuseri kwa chipululu, nafika ku Horebu, phiri la Atate wathu. ²Kumeneko mthenga wa Atate wathu anamuonekera mu malawi a moto wochokera mkati mwa chitsamba. Mose anayang'ana: chitsambacho chinali kuyaka moto koma sichinapsa. ³Mose anati, “Ndipite kumeneko ndikaone chozizwitsa ichi—chifukwa chiyani chitsamba sichikupsa.”

⁴Ndipo Atate wathu ataona kuti wapatuka kuti aone, anamuitana kuchokera mkati mwa chitsamba, nati, “Mose, Mose!” Mose anayankha nati, “Ine ndili pano.”

⁵Anati, “Usayandikire pafupi. Vula nsapato zako kumapazi ako, pakuti pamalo pamene wayimapo ndi poyera.” ⁶Anati, “Ine ndine Atate wako, Mulungu wa Abrahamu, wa Isake, ndi wa Yakobo.” Mose anabisa nkhope yake, pakuti anaopa kuyang'ana Atate wathu.

⁷Ndipo Atate wathu anati, “Ndaona ndithu masautso a anthu anga ku Igupto, ndamva kulira kwawo chifukwa cha oyang'anira akapolo awo, pakuti ndikudziwa zowawa zawo. ⁸Choncho ndatsika kudzawapulumutsa m'dzanja la Aigupto, ndi kuwatulutsa m'dziko limenelo kupita ku dziko labwino ndi lotambalala—dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi—ku malo a Akanani, Ahiti, Aamori, Aperizi, Ahivi, ndi Ayebusi. ⁹Tsopano kulira kwa ana a Isiraeli kwandifikira, ndipo ndaona chipsinjo chimene Aigupto akuwapsinja nacho. ¹⁰Tsopano pita—ndikutuma iwe kwa Farao, kuti utulutse anthu anga, ana a Isiraeli, m'dziko la Igupto.”

¹¹Mose anati kwa Atate wathu, “Kodi ine ndine yani kuti ndipite kwa Farao ndi kutulutsa ana a Isiraeli m'dziko la Igupto?”

¹²Anati, “Ndithudi ndidzakhala nawe. Ichi ndicho chizindikiro chako chakuti ndakutuma: pamene udzatulutsa anthu m'dziko la Igupto, mudzalambira Atate wanu pa phiri ili.”

¹³Ndipo Mose anati kwa Atate wathu, “Ngati ndipita kwa ana a Isiraeli ndi kuwawuza kuti, ‘Mulungu wa makolo anu wandituma kwa inu,’ ndipo iwo akandifunsa kuti, ‘Dzina lake ndani?’—ndiwawuze chiyani?”

¹⁴Atate wathu anati kwa Mose, “NDINE AMENE NDINE.” Ndipo anati, “Uwuze ana a Isiraeli kuti, ‘NDINE wandituma kwa inu.’” ^a a v14 Pamene Yesu anati “Abrahamu asanakhaleko, Ine ndilipo” (Yohane 8:58), anali kunena dzina lomwelo limene Atate wathu anapatsa Mose pano. ¹⁵Atate wathu anawuzanso Mose kuti, “Uwuze ana a Isiraeli kuti, ‘Atate wanu—Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Isake, ndi Yakobo—wandituma kwa inu.’ Ili ndilo dzina langa muyaya, ndipo umu ndi mmene ndidzakumbukiridwira m'mibadwo yonse. ¹⁶Pita, sonkhanitsa akulu a Isiraeli ndi kuwawuza kuti: Atate wanu—Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Isake, ndi Yakobo—anandionekera nati: Ndithudi ndakuyang'anirani, ndipo ndaona zimene zikuchitika kwa inu ku Igupto, ¹⁷Ndalonjeza kukutulutsani ku masautso a ku Igupto kupita ku dziko la Akanani, Ahiti, Aamori, Aperizi, Ahivi, ndi Ayebusi—dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi. ¹⁸Iwo adzakumvera iwe. Iwe ndi akulu a Isiraeli muyenera kupita kwa mfumu ya Igupto ndi kuwuza kuti, ‘Atate wa Aheberi wakumana nafe. Tsopano chonde mutilole tiyende ulendo wa masiku atatu m'chipululu kuti tikapereke nsembe kwa Atate wathu.’ ¹⁹Koma ndikudziwa kuti mfumu ya Igupto sidzakulolani kupita, pokhapokha itakakamizidwa ndi dzanja lamphamvu. ²⁰Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa ndi kukantha Igupto ndi zozizwitsa zonse zimene ndidzachita kumeneko; ndipo pamenepo adzakulolani kupita. ²¹Ndidzachititsa kuti Aigupto akomere mtima anthu awa, kotero kuti pamene mudzanyamuka, simudzapita manja chabe. ²²Mkazi aliyense apemphe kwa mnansi wake ndi mkazi amene akukhala m'nyumba mwake ziwiya za siliva ndi za golide ndi zovala, ndipo muveke ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi nazo. Momwemo mudzawafunkha Aigupto.” ^b b v22 Kuchoka kwa Isiraeli ku Igupto ndi chuma kukwaniritsa lonjezo la Atate kwa Abrahamu mu Genesis 15:14.
