Isiqephu sesibili: Amaxoxo
1INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngena kuFaro, uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Bayekela abantu bami ukuthi bahambe, bangikhonze.
2Uma wenqaba ukuba bahambe, bheka, ngiyakushaya yonke indawo yakho ngamasele.
3Umfula uyakuzala amasele, akhuphukele endlini yakho, nasekamelweni lakho lokulala, naphezu kombhede wakho, nasendlini yezinceku zakho, naphezu kwabantu bakho, naphezu kohhavini bakho, nasezitsheni zakho zamadolo;
4Amaxoxo ayakukhuphukela kuwe nakuzo abantu bakho nakuzo zonke izinceku zakho.
5INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi kuAroni: Yelula isandla sakho esilenduku yakho phezu kwemifula, laphezu kwemifula, laphezu kwamachibi, amaxoxo akhuphukele elizweni leGibhithe.
6U-Aroni welula isandla sakhe phezu kwamanzi aseGibithe; amasele akhuphuka, asibekela izwe laseGibithe.
7Izanusi zenza njalo ngemilingo yazo, zakhuphula amasele ezweni laseGibithe.
8UFaro wayesebabiza oMose no-Aroni, wathi: “Ncengani uJehova ukuba asuse amasele kimi nakubantu bami; ngiyakubavumela abantu ukuba bahambe, bahlabele uJehova.
9UMose wayesethi kuFaro: “Zibonge ngami; ngiyakukuncenga nini wena nezinceku zakho nabantu bakho ukuba baqothule amasele kuwe nasezindlini zakho, asale emfuleni kuphela, na?
10Wathi: “Kusasa.” Wathi: “Kuhamba njengokusho kwakho, ukuze wazi ukuthi akakho onjengoJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.”
11Amasele ayakumuka kuwe, nasezindlini zakho, nasezincekwini zakho, nakubantu bakho; bangahlala emfuleni kuphela.
12OMose no-Aroni basuka kuFaro, uMose wakhuleka kuJehova ngenxa yamasele awalethela uFaro.
13INkosi yenza njengezwi likaMose; amasele afa ezindlini, nasemizini nasemasimini.
14Bazibuthela izinqwaba, izwe lanuka.
15Kodwa uFaro esebonile ukuthi sekuphuzile, wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe, kabalalelanga; njengokutsho kweNkosi.
Isifo Sesithathu: Omiyane
16INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Tshono kuAroni uthi: Yelula intonga yakho, utshaye uthuli lwelizwe, lube omiyane elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
17Benza njalo; ngokuba u-Aroni welula isandla sakhe esinenduku yakhe, washaya uthuli lomhlabathi, lwaba omiyane kubantu nasezinkomeni; lonke uthuli lwezwe lwaba omiyane ezweni lonke laseGibithe.
18Izanusi zenza njalo ngemilingo yazo ukuba ziveze omiyane, kepha azikwazanga; kwaba khona omiyane kubantu nasezilwaneni.
19Zase zithi izanusi kuFaro: “Lokhu kungumunwe kaNkulunkulu; njengokutsho kweNkosi.
Isifo Sesine: Izixuku izimpukane
20UJehova wayesethi kuMose: “Vuka ekuseni kakhulu, ume phambi kukaFaro; bheka, Uphumela emanzini; wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bavumele abantu bami ukuba bahambe, ukuze bangikhonze.
21Uma kungenjalo, uma ungabadedeli abantu bami, bheka, ngiyakuthuma izibawu kuwe, nasezincekwini zakho, nakubantu bakho, nasezindlini zakho; izindlu zabaseGibhithe ziyogcwala izibawu kanye nomhlabathi ezikuwo.
22Ngalolo suku ngiyakunquma izwe laseGosheni abantu bami abahlala kulo, kungabikho izibawu; kuze kube sekupheleni niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova enkabeni yomhlaba.
23Ngizakwahlukanisa phakathi kwabantu bami labantu bakho; kusasa kuzoba yilesi sibonakaliso.
24INkosi yenza njalo; kwafika uswebezane lwezibawu endlini kaFaro, nasezindlini zezinceku zakhe, nakulo lonke izwe laseGibithe;
25UFaro wayesebabiza oMose no-Aroni, wathi: “Hambani nihlabele uNkulunkulu wenu ezweni.”
26Wayesethi uMose: “Akulungile; ngoba siyakunikela okunengekayo kwabaseGibhithe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu; bheka, siyakunikela okunengekayo kwabaseGibithe phambi kwamehlo abo, bangasikhandi ngamatshe, na?
27Siyakuhamba ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu ehlane, sihlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, njengalokho yasiyala.
28Wayesethi uFaro: “Ngiyakunivumela ukuba nihambe, nihlabele uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ehlane; kodwa akumelwe nihambe kakhulu; ngikhulekeleni.
29Wayesethi uMose: “Bheka, ngiyaphuma kuwe, ngiyakuncenga uJehova ukuba kusasa zisuke izibawu kuFaro, nasezincekwini zakhe, nakubantu bakhe; kepha uFaro makangabe esaqhubeka nokukhohlisa, avumele abantu ukuba bahambe bayohlabela uJehova.
30UMose wamuka kuFaro, wakhuleka kuJehova.
31INkosi yenza njengezwi likaMose; wasusa izibawu kuFaro, nasezincekwini zakhe, nakubantu bakhe; akwasala noyedwa.
32Naye uFaro wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe ngalesi sikhathi, kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe.
