14USimakade wathi kuMose: “Inhliziyo kaFaro ilukhuni; uyenqaba ukuvumela abantu ukuba bahambe. 15 Hamba uye kuFaro ekuseni, uyaphuma njengamanje uya emfuleni. Uyokuma umlinde ngasosebeni lomfula. Phatha ngesandla induku leyo eyaphenduka inyoka. 16 Uyakuthi kuye: ‘USimakade, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru ungithume kuwe ukuba ngithi: “Vumela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bayongikhonza ehlane. Kepha kuze kube manje awulalelanga. 17 Uthi-ke uSimakade: ngalokhu uzokwazi ukuthi nginguSimakade. Uyabona-ke, ngale nduku engiyiphethe ngesandla, ngiyoshaya amanzi omfula iNayili, ayophenduka igazi. 18 Izinhlanzi ezisemfuleni ziyokufa, umfula iNayili unuke phu, abaseGibhithe bayakukhathazeka bengakwazi ukuwaphuza amanzi omfula.” ’ ”
19 USimakade wathi kuMose: “Yisho ku-Aroni uthi: ‘Thatha induku yakho uyelulele phezu kwamanzi aseGibhithe, phezu kwemithombo, naphezu kwemifula, phezu kwamaxhaphozi, namachibi, ukuze amanzi aphenduke igazi. Kuyoba negazi kulona lonke iGibhithe, ngisho nasezitsheni zokhuni nezitsha zamatshe.’ ”
20 UMose no-Aroni benza njengoba uSimakade ayebayalile. Wayiphakamisa induku yakhe, washaya amanzi emfuleni phambi kukaFaro nezinceku zakhe, onke amanzi ayesemfuleni iNayili aphenduka igazi, 21kwafa izinhlanzi. Umfula wanuka kangangokuthi abaseGibhithe abakwazanga ukuphuza amanzi awo: kwakunegazi kulona lonke iGibhithe. 22 Kepha nosomlingo baseGibhithe nabo, ngemilingo yabo, benza into efanayo, ngakho-ke inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, akavumanga ukubadedela, njengalokhu uSimakade ayeshilo. 23UFaro waphenduka wabuyela esigodlweni sakhe, akaze akunaka lokho enhliziyweni yakhe. 24Bonke abaseGibhithe bamba nxazonke zomfula iNayili ukuze bathole amanzi okuphuza, ngoba babengenakuwaphuza amanzi ayesemfuleni.
25Kwedlula izinsuku eziyisikhombisa uSimakade eyishayile iNayili.
