Ekisodho 9:1-35

Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi, “Pinda kuna Farao, undomuudza, uti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wavaHebheru: Tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.’ Nokuti kana ukaramba kuvatendera, ukaramba uchivadzivisa, tarira, ruoko rwaJehovha ruchava pamusoro pezvipfuwo zvako zviri kusango, napamusoro pamabhiza, napamusoro pembongoro, napamusoro pamangamera, napamusoro pemombe, napamusoro pezvipfuwo zviduku; hosha yakaipa kwazvo ichavapo. Jehovha acharaura zvipfuwo zvavaIsiraeri pazvipfuwo zvavaIjipiti; hapana chimwe chingafa pazvipfuwo zvose zvavaIsiraeri.” Zvino Jehovha akatara nguva akati, “Mangwana Jehovha achaita chinhu ichi munyika ino.” Fume mangwana Jehovha akaita chinhu ichocho, zvipfuwo zvose zveIjipiti zvikafa; asi pazvipfuwo zvavana vaIsiraeri hapana zvakafa, kunyange nechimwe chete. Farao akatuma vanhu, vakawana kuti pazvipfuwo zvavaIsiraeri hapana zvakafa, kunyange chimwe chete. Asi mwoyo waFarao wakava mukukutu, akasatendera vanhu kuenda. Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi naAroni, “Torai tsama dzamadota echoto, Mosesi aakushire kudenga pamberi paFarao. Achashanduka guruva rakatsetseka panyika yose yeIjipiti, achiita mamota anoputika semhoni pavanhu napazvipfuwo zvose zveIjipiti.” Ivo vakatora madota echoto, vakamira pamberi paFarao, Mosesi akaakushira kudenga, akaita mamota anoputika semhoni pavanhu napazvipfuwo. Zvino n'anga dzakanga dzisingagoni kumira pamberi paMosesi nokuda kwamamota, nokuti mamota akanga ari pan'anga napavaIjipiti vose. Asi Jehovha akaomesa mwoyo waFarao, akasavateerera, sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha kuna Mosesi. Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi, “Fumira mangwanani, undomira pamberi paFarao, uti kwaari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wavaHebheru: Tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.’ Nokuti nenguva ino ndichatuma madambudziko angu ose pamusoro pomwoyo wako, napamusoro pavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, uzive kuti hapana akafanana neni panyika dzose. Nokuti dai ndisakadaro, ndingadai ndaitambanudza ruoko rwangu, ndikakurova iwe navanhu vako nehosha yakaipa, ukaparadzwa chose panyika; asi zvirokwazvo ndakakuraramisa nokuda kwaizvozvo, kuti ndikuratidze simba rangu, uye kuti zita rangu rikurumbire kunyika dzose. Zvino ucharamba uchingozvikudza uchirwa navanhu vangu, usingadi kuvatendera kuenda here? Tarira, mangwana, nenguva yakaita seino, ndichanisa chimvuramabwe chakaipa kwazvo, chisina kumbovapo paIjipiti kubva pakuvambwa kwayo kusvikira zvino. Naizvozvo zvino tuma vanhu, uunganidze zvipfuwo zvako nezvose zvaunazvo kusango, nokuti vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvose zvinowanikwa kusango, zvisina kuiswa mudzimba, zvicharohwa nechimvuramabwe zvikafa.” Zvino vakatya shoko raJehovha pakati pavaranda vaFarao vakaraira kuti varanda vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo zvitizire mudzimba. Asi vakanga vasingateereri shoko raJehovha, vakarega varanda vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo kusango. Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi, “Tambanudzira ruoko rwako kudenga, chimvuramabwe chivepo panyika yose yeIjipiti, pamusoro pavanhu, napamusoro pezvipfuwo, napamusoro pemiriwo yose yeminda panyika yose yeIjipiti.” Mosesi akatambanudzira tsvimbo yake kudenga, Jehovha akatuma kutinhira nechimvuramabwe, moto wemheni ukarova pasi. Jehovha akanaisa chimvuramabwe panyika yeIjipiti. Chimvuramabwe chikavapo, nomoto wakavengana nechimvuramabwe, chikanyanya kwazvo, chisina kumbovapo panyika yose yeIjipiti, kubva pakutanga kworudzi ipapo. Chimvuramabwe chikarova zvose zvakanga zviri kusango, vanhu nezvipfuwo, panyika yose yeIjipiti; chimvuramabwe chikarova miriwo yose yeminda, chikavhuna miti yose yesango. Asi munyika yeGosheni bedzi, imo makanga muna vana vaIsiraeri, ndipo pakanga pasina chimvuramabwe. Zvino Farao akatuma vanhu kundodana Mosesi naAroni, akati kwavari, “Nguva ino ndatadza; Jehovha akarurama, asi ini navaranda vangu takaipa. Nyengeterai kuna Jehovha, nokuti kutinhira kukuru kwaMwari nechimvuramabwe zvaringana; ndichakutenderai kuenda, murege kugara.” Mosesi akati kwaari, “Kana ndangobuda paguta, ndichatambanudzira maoko angu kuna Jehovha; ipapo kutinhira kuchanyarara, nechimvuramabwe hachizovipo; muchaziva kuti nyika yose ndeyaJehovha. Asi kana murimi navaranda venyu, ndinoziva kuti hamungatyi Jehovha Mwari.” Miti yoruchinda nebhari zvikarohwa, nokuti bhari yakanga yatumbuka, nemiti yoruchinda yakanga yava namaruva. Asi zviyo zvekoroni nezvesipereti hazvina kurohwa, nokuti zvakanga zvisina kukura. Zvino Mosesi akabuda muguta pamberi paFarao, akatambanudzira maoko ake kuna Jehovha, kutinhira nechimvuramabwe zvikanyarara, nemvura ikasadururirwa panyika. Zvino Farao akati aona kuti mvura nechimvuramabwe nokutinhira zvanyarara, akawedzera kutadza, akaomesa mwoyo wake, iye navaranda vake. Mwoyo waFarao ukaomeswa, akasatendera vana vaIsiraeri kuenda; sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha nomuromo waMosesi.
