Udaba lukaThixo kuFaro; ukwandiswa kwengcinezelo
1Emveni koko beza ooMoses noAron, bathi kuFaro, Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Bandulule abantu bam, bandenzele umthendeleko entlango. 2Wathi uFaro, Ngubani na uYehova, ukuba ndiphulaphule izwi lakhe, lokuba ndindulule uSirayeli? Andimazi uYehova, kananjalo andiyi kumndulula uSirayeli. 3Bathi ke, UThixo wamaHebhere uhlangene nathi; makhe sihambe entlango uhambo lweentsuku ezintathu, sibingelele kuYehova uThixo wethu, hleze asiqwele ngendyikitya yokufa nangekrele. 4Wathi ukumkani waseYiputa kubo, Yini na, nina Moses noAron, ukuba nibakhulule abantu emisebenzini yabo? Yiyani emithwalweni yenu.
5Wathi uFaro, Yabonani, baninzi abantu belizwe ngoku, ke nina niyabaphumza emithwalweni yabo.
6UFaro wabawisela umthetho abaphathi nabaqhubi-kalukhuni babantu ngaloo mini, esithi, 7Ize ningabi sabanika abantu umququ wokwenza izitena, njengokwangaphambili; mabaye ngokwabo, bazibuthele umququ; 8nenani lezitena ababelenza njengokwangaphambili, bamiseleni lona; ize ningalinciphisi, kuba bayahiliza; kuko le nto bakhalayo, besithi, Masiye kubingelela kuThixo wethu. 9Mawube nzima umsebenzi phezu kwamadoda, asebenze wona, angaphulaphuli amazwi obuxoki.
10Baphuma ke abaphathi nabaqhubikalukhuni babantu, bathetha ebantwini bathi, Utsho uFaro ukuthi, Andiyi kuninika mququ; 11yiyani nina, nizithabathele umququ apho ningawufumana khona; kuba akuyi kuncitshiswa nto emsebenzini wenu. 12Baphalazeka abantu ezweni lonke laseYiputa, babutha iindiza endaweni yomququ. 13Abaqhubi-kalukhuni babantu babangxamisa, besithi, Yisebenzeni imisebenzi yenu, into yemini ngangemini yayo, ngangókuya naninomququ. 14Babethwa ke abaphathi boonyana bakaSirayeli, ababemiswe phezu kwabo ngabaqhubi-kalukhuni babantu bakaFaro, kusithiwa, Kungathuba lini na, ukuba ningagqibi ukwenza izitena enizimiselweyo izolo nanamhla, njengokwangaphambili?
15Baya abaphathi boonyana bakaSirayeli, bakhala kuFaro, besithi, Yini na ukuba wenjenje kubakhonzi bakho? 16Abakhonzi bakho aba àbanikwa mququ; kuthiwa ke kuthi, Yenzani izitena. Yabona, abakhonzi bakho aba bayabethwa, kanti kona abantu bakho abo. 17Wathi, Kuhiliza nina; niyahiliza, kuko le nto nithi, Masiye sibingelele kuYehova. 18Yiyani ke ngoku, nisebenze; aniyi kunikwa mququ; ke lona inani lezitena niya kulirhola.
19Babona abaphathi boonyana bakaSirayeli ukuba basebubini, kusithiwa nje, Aniyi kunciphisa nto eziteneni zenu, kwinto yemini ngangemini yayo. 20Baqubisana noMoses noAron, beza kubo ekuphumeni kwabo kuFaro. 21Bathi kubo, UYehova makanikhangele, agwebe; ekubeni nilinukisile ivumba lethu phambi koFaro, naphambi kwabakhonzi bakhe, ukuba kubekwe ikrele lokusibulala esandleni sabo.
22Wabuyela kuYehova uMoses, esithi, Nkosi yam, yini na ukuba ubaphathe kakubi aba bantu? Yini na le nto uthume mna? 23Kususela koko ndangenayo kuFaro, ndithetha egameni lakho, yena ubaphethe kakubi aba bantu; àkubahlangulanga nokubahlangula abantu bakho.
