| 1. | I Nkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni elizweni leGibhithe, isithi: |
| 2. | Le inyanga kayibe kini yinhloko yezinyanga, ibe kini ngeyokuqala yenyanga zomnyaka. |
| 3. | Khulumani kunhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli lithi: Ngolwetshumi lwalinyanga bazazithathela ngulowo iwundlu, ngokwezindlu zaboyise, iwundlu ngendlu. |
| 4. | Uba-ke indlu incinyane kakhulu ewundlwini, kakuthi yena athathe lomakhelwane wakhe, oseduze lendlu yakhe, njengobunengi bemiphefumulo; ngulowo njengokudla kwakhe, lizabalela iwundlu. |
| 5. | Lizakuba lezinyane elingelasici, eliduna, elilomnyaka owodwa; lithatheni ezimvini loba ezimbuzini. |
| 6. | Njalo lizaligcina kuze kufike usuku lwetshumi lane lwaleyonyanga, njalo ibandla lonke lenhlangano yakoIsrayeli izalihlaba kusihlwa. |
| 7. | Bazathatha-ke okwegazi, bakufake emigubazini yomibili lekhothameni, ezindlini abazalidlela kuzo. |
| 8. | Njalo bazakudla inyama ngalobobusuku, yosiwe ngomlilo, lesinkwa esingelamvubelo, lemibhida ebabayo baza yi dla. |
| 9. | Lingadli okwalo kuluhlaza kumbe kuphekwe lokuphekwa ngamanzi, kodwa yosiwe ngomlilo; inhloko yalo lemilenze yalo, kanye lemibilini yalo. |
| 10. | Njalo lingatshiyi lutho kulo kuze kube sekuseni, kodwa okusalayo kulo kuze kube sekuseni lizakutshisa ngomlilo. |
| 11. | Ngokunjalo-ke lizalidla, inkalo zenu zibotshiwe, izicathulo zenu zisenyaweni zenu, lendondolo zenu zisezandleni zenu; lizalidla ngokuphangisa; kuliphasika le Nkosi. |
| 12. | Ngoba ngizadabula phakathi kwelizwe leGibhithe ngalobubusuku, ngitshaye wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni, ngizakwenza izigwebo kubo bonke onkulunkulu beGibhithe; mina ngiyi Nkosi. |
| 13. | Legazi lizakuba kini yisibonakaliso ezindlini lapho elikhona; nxa ngibona igazi ngizadlula phezu kwenu, njalo kungehleli kini inhlupheko yokuchitha, mhla ngitshaya ilizwe leGibhithe. |
| 14. | Njalo lolusuku luzakuba kini yisikhumbuzo; njalo lizalugcina lube ngumkhosi e Nkosi ni; lizalugcina ezizukulwaneni zenu ngokomthetho wanininini. |
| 15. | Insuku eziyisikhombisa lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo. Yebo ngosuku lokuqala lizakhupha imvubelo ezindlini zenu; ngoba wonke odla okuvutshelweyo kusukela kusuku lokuqala kuze kufike usuku lwesikhombisa, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke koIsrayeli. |
| 16. | Njalo ngosuku lokuqala kuzakuba khona inhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele, langosuku lwesikhombisa lizakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; kungenziwa msebenzi ngazo, kuphela lokho wonke umphefumulo okudlayo, lokho kodwa kungenziwa yini. |
| 17. | Ngakho gcinani izinkwa ezingelamvubelo; ngoba ngalona lolosuku ngikhuphile amabutho enu elizweni leGibhithe. Ngakho lizagcina lolosuku ezizukulwaneni zenu ngesimiso saphakade. |
| 18. | Kweyokuqala, osukwini lwetshumi lane lwenyanga kusihlwa lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo, kuze kufike usuku lwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga kusihlwa. |
| 19. | Insuku eziyisikhombisa kakungaficwa imvubelo ezindlini zenu; ngoba wonke odla okuvutshelweyo lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke kunhlangano yakoIsrayeli, loba engowemzini loba engowokuzalwa elizweni. |
| 20. | Lingadli lutho oluvutshelweyo; emizini yenu yonke lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo. |
| 21. | UMozisi wasebiza bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: Hudulani lizithathele amawundlu ngokwensapho zenu, lihlabe iphasika, |
| 22. | lithathe ilixha lehisope*, liligxamuze egazini elisemganwini, lininde ikhothamo lemigubazini emibili ngegazi elisemganwini; lina-ke, kakungaphumi muntu endlini yakhe kuze kube sekuseni. |
| 23. | Ngoba i Nkosi izadabula ukutshaya amaGibhithe; nxa ebona igazi ekhothameni lemigubazini yomibili, i Nkosi izadlula phezu komnyango, ingavumeli umchithi ukuthi angene ezindlini zenu ukutshaya. |
| 24. | Njalo lizagcina le into, kube yisimiso kini lakubantwana benu kuze kube phakade. |
| 25. | Njalo kuzakuthi lapho lifika elizweni i Nkosi ezalinika lona njengokukhuluma kwayo, lizagcina linkonzo. |
| 26. | Kuzakuthi-ke lapho abantwana benu besithi kini: Iyini linkonzo elilayo? |
| 27. | Lizakuthi-ke: Lo ngumhlatshelo wephasika le Nkosi, eyedlula phezu kwezindlu zabantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe mhla itshaya amaGibhithe, wophula izindlu zethu. Njalo abantu bakhothama bakhonza. |
| 28. | Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebehamba, bayakwenza njengalokhu i Nkosi yayibalayile oMozisi loAroni, benza njalo. |
| 29. | Kwasekusithi phakathi kobusuku i Nkosi yatshaya wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe, kusukela kuzibulo likaFaro elalizahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube kuzibulo lesibotshwa esasisentolongweni, lamazibulo wonke ezifuyo. |
| 30. | UFaro wasesukuma ebusuku, yena lenceku zakhe zonke lamaGibhithe wonke. Kwasekusiba khona isililo esikhulu eGibhithe, ngoba kwakungekho ndlu lapho okwakungelamufi khona. |
| 31. | Wasebiza oMozisi loAroni ebusuku, wathi: Sukumani, liphume phakathi kwabantu bami, lonke lina labantwana bakoIsrayeli, lihambe liyekhonza i Nkosi njengokutsho kwenu. |
| 32. | Thathani lani izimvu zenu lenkomo zenu njengokutsho kwenu, lihambe; futhi lingibusise lami. |
| 33. | Njalo amaGibhithe ayebakhuthaza abantu ebahaluzelisa ukuthi baphume elizweni, ngoba athi: Sonke sifile. |
| 34. | Abantu-ke bathatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa, betshata imiganu yabo yokuxovela ibotshelwe ezembathweni zabo. |
| 35. | Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengelizwi likaMozisi; bacela kumaGibhithe izinto zesiliva lezinto zegolide lezigqoko. |
| 36. | I Nkosi yasibapha abantu umusa emehlweni amaGibhithe, aze abanika izicelo zabo. Basebewaphundla amaGibhithe. |
| 37. | Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesuka eRamesesi besiya eSukothi; amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ahamba ngenyawo, ngaphandle kwabantwana. |
| 38. | Kwasekusenyuka labo lexuku lenhlobonhlobo, lezimvu lezinkomo, lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu. |
| 39. | Basebebhaka izinkwa ezingelamvubelo ngenhlama abayikhupha eGibhithe, ngoba ingavutshelwanga, ngoba baxotshwa eGibhithe, ngoba babengelakulibala, futhi bengazilungiselelanga umphako. |
| 40. | Isikhathi sokuhlala-ke kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abasihlala eGibhithe sasiyiminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu. |
| 41. | Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu, kwathi ngalona lolosuku wonke amabutho e Nkosi aphuma elizweni leGibhithe. |
| 42. | Kuyibusuku bokulindelwa i Nkosi kakhulu ngokubakhupha elizweni leGibhithe; lobu yibusuku be Nkosi, bokulindwa kakhulu yibo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli ezizukulwaneni zabo. |
| 43. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi loAroni: Lesi yisimiso sephasika. Kakho owezizwe ongalidla; |
| 44. | kodwa sonke isigqili sawo wonke umuntu, esathengwa ngemali, nxa usisokile, ngalesosikhathi sizakudla kulo. |
| 45. | Owezizwe loqatshiweyo bangadli kulo. |
| 46. | Lizadlelwa endlini yinye; ungakhupheli phandle kwendlu okwenyama, ungephuli thambo lalo. |
| 47. | Inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli izakwenza lokhu. |
| 48. | Uba owemzini ohlala lani egcinela i Nkosi iphasika, kabasokwe bonke abesilisa laye, abesesondela-ke aligcine, uzakuba njengowokuzalwa elizweni; kodwa kakho ongasokwanga ozalidla. |
| 49. | Umlayo munye uzakuba kowokuzalwa elizweni lakowemzini ohlala phakathi kwenu. |
| 50. | Bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengalokhu i Nkosi yayibalayile oMozisi loAroni; benza njalo. |
| 51. | Kwasekusithi ngalona lolosuku i Nkosi yabakhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe ngamabutho abo. |
