Mabasa 7:17-29

“Zvino nguva yechipikirwa chakanga chapikirwa Abhurahamu naMwari, yakati ichiswedera, vanhu vakawanda, vakaita vazhinji muIjipiti; kusvikira mumwe mambo akamuka muIjipiti, akanga asina kuziva Josefa. “Iye akabata rudzi rwedu namano, akatambudza madzibaba edu, akavarayira kuti varase vacheche vavo, kuti varege kuraramiswa. Nenguva iyo Mosesi akaberekwa, akanga akaisvonaka kwazvo; akarerwa mwedzi mitatu mumba mababa vake; zvino akati araswa, mukunda waFarao akamunonga, akamurera kuti ave mwanakomana wake. Mosesi akadzidziswa uchenjeri hwose hwavaIjipiti; akava nesimba pamashoko napamabasa ake. “Zvino akati asvika makore ana makumi mana, mwoyo wake ukada kushanyira hama dzake, vana vaIsiraeri. Akaona mumwe achiitirwa zvisakarurama, ndokumurwira, akauraya muIjipiti, achitsiva akanga achitambudzwa. Akati, zvimwe hama dzake dzichanzwisisa kuti Mwari akanga achida kuvaponesa noruoko rwake; asi havana kunzwisisa. Fume mangwana akavaona vachikakavara, akaedza kuvayananisa, achiti, ‘Varume, muri hama, munoitirana zvisakarurama neiko?’ “Zvino iye akanga achiitira wokwake zvisakarurama akamusundira kure, achiti, ‘Ndianiko akakuita mubati nomutongi wedu? Unoda kundiuraya, sezvawakauraya muIjipiti zuro kanhi?’ Mosesi akatiza achinzwa shoko iri, akandova mutorwa kunyika yeMidhiani, kwaakandobereka vanakomana vaviri.
