1. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yana kuFaro uthi kuye: Itsho njalo i Nkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, ithi: Yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuthi bangikhonze. |
2. | Ngoba uba usala ukubayekela bahambe, ulokhu ubabambile, |
3. | khangela, isandla se Nkosi sizakuba phezu kwezifuyo zakho ezisegangeni, phezu kwamabhiza, phezu kwabobabhemi, phezu kwamakamela, phezu kwenkomo laphezu kwezimvu, umatshayabhuqe wesifo onzima kakhulu. |
4. | Kodwa i Nkosi izakwenza umehluko phakathi kwezifuyo zakoIsrayeli lezifuyo zeGibhithe, kuze kuthi kakuyikufa lutho kukho konke okwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. |
5. | I Nkosi yasimisa isikhathi esimisiweyo, isithi: Kusasa i Nkosi izakwenza linto elizweni. |
6. | I Nkosi yayenza-ke linto kusisa; lazo zonke izifuyo zeGibhithe zafa; kodwa kakufanga lesisodwa ezifuyweni zabantwana bakoIsrayeli. |
7. | UFaro wasethuma, khangela-ke, kakufanga ngitsho lesisodwa ezifuyweni zakoIsrayeli. Kodwa inhliziyo kaFaro yaba nzima, kasiyekelanga isizwe sihambe. |
8. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi lakuAroni: Zithatheleni izandla zenu ezigcweleyo zomlotha weziko, njalo uMozisi awutsahazele emazulwini phambi kwamehlo kaFaro. |
9. | Njalo uzakuba luthuli olucolekileyo phezu kwelizwe lonke leGibhithe, njalo luzakuba phezu kwabantu laphezu kwezifuyo lube lithumba eliphihlika amathuthuva elizweni lonke leGibhithe. |
10. | Basebethatha umlotha weziko, bema phambi kukaFaro; uMozisi wasewutsahazela emazulwini, waba lithumba eliphihlika amathuthuva ebantwini lezifuyweni. |
11. | Njalo abalumbi babengeme phambi kukaMozisi ngenxa yamathumba; ngoba amathumba ayephezu kwabalumbi laphezu kwawo wonke amaGibhithe. |
12. | Kodwa i Nkosi yayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, njalo kazabezwa, njengokutsho kwe Nkosi kuMozisi. |
13. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Vuka ekuseni kakhulu, uzimise phambi kukaFaro uthi kuye: Itsho njalo i Nkosi uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru ithi: Yekela isizwe sami sihambe bangikhonze. |
14. | Ngoba ngalesisikhathi ngizathumela zonke inhlupheko zami enhliziyweni yakho laphezu kwenceku zakho laphezu kwesizwe sakho, ukuze wazi ukuthi kakho onjengami emhlabeni wonke. |
15. | Ngoba khathesi ngizaselula isandla sami ukuze ngikutshaye lesizwe sakho ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ubusuchitheka usuke emhlabeni. |
16. | Kodwa isibili ngalokhu ngikumisile ukuze ngikutshengise amandla ami lokuze ibizo lami lilandiswe emhlabeni wonke. |
17. | Usaziphakamisa umelana labantu bami, ukuthi ungabayekeli bahambe yini? |
18. | Khangela, kusasa ngalesisikhathi ngizanisa isiqhotho esinzima kakhulu, esingazanga sibe khona esinjalo eGibhithe kusukela ngosuku lisekelwa kuze kube khathesi. |
19. | Khathesi-ke thuma, ubuthe izifuyo zakho lakho konke olakho ensimini; wonke umuntu layo yonke inyamazana okuficwa ensimini okungabuthelwanga ekhaya, nxa isiqhotho siwela phezu kwakho, kuzakufa. |
20. | Lowo olesabayo ilizwi le Nkosi phakathi kwenceku zikaFaro wenza izisebenzi zakhe lezifuyo zakhe zibalekele ezindlini; |
21. | kodwa lowo ongabekanga inhliziyo yakhe elizwini le Nkosi watshiya izisebenzi zakhe lezifuyo zakhe ensimini. |
22. | I Nkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yelulela isandla sakho emazulwini, ukuze kube khona isiqhotho elizweni lonke leGibhithe, phezu kwabantu laphezu kwezinyamazana laphezu kwemibhida yonke yensimu elizweni leGibhithe. |
23. | UMozisi waseselulela intonga yakhe emazulwini; i Nkosi yasiletha imidumo lesiqhotho; lomlilo wehlela emhlabeni; le Nkosi yanisa isiqhotho elizweni leGibhithe. |
24. | Kwasekusiba khona isiqhotho, lomlilo uzixubanise esiqhothweni; okunzima kakhulu; okungazanga kube khona okunjengakho elizweni lonke leGibhithe selokhu laba yisizwe. |
25. | Isiqhotho sasesitshaya elizweni lonke leGibhithe konke okusegangeni, kusukela ebantwini kusiya ezinyamazaneni; lesiqhotho satshaya wonke umbhida weganga, sephula sonke isihlahla seganga. |
26. | Kuphela elizweni leGosheni lapho ababekhona abantwana bakoIsrayeli kwakungekho isiqhotho. |
27. | UFaro wasethuma wabiza uMozisi loAroni, wathi kubo: Ngonile ngalesisikhathi; i Nkosi ilungile, kanti mina labantu bami sibabi. |
28. | Ncengani i Nkosi, ngoba sekwanele, ukuze kungabi lemidumo elamandla lesiqhotho; besengiliyekela lihambe, lingabe lisahlala. |
29. | UMozisi wasesithi kuye: Nxa sengiphumile emzini, ngizachaya izandla zami e Nkosi ni; kuzaphela imidumo lesiqhotho kasisayikuba khona, ukuze wazi ukuthi umhlaba ungowe Nkosi. |
30. | Kodwa wena lenceku zakho, ngiyazi ukuthi kalikayesabi i Nkosi uNkulunkulu. |
31. | Kwasekutshaywa ifilakisi* lebhali*; ngoba ibhali yayisesikwetshini, lefilakisi yayisithela amaluba. |
32. | Kodwa ingqoloyi lespelite* kakutshaywanga, ngoba kwakungakavuthwa. |
33. | UMozisi wasephuma emzini evela kuFaro, wachaya izandla zakhe e Nkosi ni; kwasekusima imidumo lesiqhotho, lezulu kalabe li sa thululeka emhlabeni. |
34. | Kwathi uFaro esebonile ukuthi izulu lesiqhotho lemidumo sekumile, wengezelela ukona, wayenza yaba nzima inhliziyo yakhe, yena lenceku zakhe. |
35. | Njalo inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kazabayekela abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahambe, njengalokhu i Nkosi yayitshilo ngesandla sikaMozisi. |
