UMose Uphiwa Amandla Okwenza Izimangaliso
1 UMose waphendula wathi: “Kepha bheka, ngeke bangikholwe noma bangilalele, bayakuthi: ‘USimakade akabonakalanga kuwe.’ ”
2 USimakade wathi kuye: “Yini le esesandleni sakho na?”
Wathi: “Yinduku.”
3 Wayesethi: “Yiphonse emhlabathini.”
Wayiphonsa emhlabathini, yaphenduka inyoka; uMose wayibalekela. 4Kepha uSimakade wathi kuMose: “Yelula isandla sakho, uyibambe ngomsila.”
Waselula isandla sakhe, wayibamba; yaphenduka induku esandleni sakhe. 5“Bazokholwa-ke ukuthi uSimakade, uNkulunkulu wokhokho benu, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, uNkulunkulu ka-Isaka noNkulunkulu kaJakobe ubonakele kuwe.”
6 USimakade wabuye wathi kuye: “Faka isandla esifubeni sakho.”
Wasifaka. Lapho esikhipha, mameshane, isandla sakhe sabe sesinochoko, simhlophe njengeqhwa. 7 UNkulunkulu wathi kuye: “Siphindisele esifubeni isandla sakho.”
Wasiphindisela esifubeni sakhe. Kuthe lapho esesikhipha, habe, sesibuyele esimweni saso, sesifana nesikhumba sakhe.
8“Uma bengakukholwa, noma bengasishayi mkhuba isibonakaliso sakho sokuqala, bayosikholwa esilandelayo. 9 Uma bengazikholwa zombili izibonakaliso noma bengakulaleli okushoyo, uyokukha amanzi eNayili, uwathele emhlabathini owomileyo, lawo manzi owakhe emfuleni ayophenduka igazi emhlabathini owomileyo.”
10 UMose wathi kuSimakade: “Nkosi, ngixolele, angikaze ngibe ngumuntu oyiciko lokukhuluma, kusukela kuqala kuze kube manje njengoba ukhuluma nenceku yakho, ngokuba nginamalimi, ulimi lwami lulukhuni.”
11 USimakade wathi kuye: “Ngubani owenza umlomo womuntu na? Ngubani owenza isimungulu nesithulu, obonayo noyimpumputhe na? AkusiMina Simakade na? 12Ngalokho-ke hamba, ngizokuba semlonyeni wakho, ngikufundise ozokusho.”
13 Kepha wathi: “Nkosi, ngixolele, ngiyakucela ukuba uthumele omunye.”
14 Intukuthelo kaSimakade yamvuthela uMose, wathi: “Akekho yini umfowenu u-Aroni ongumLevi na? Ngiyazi ukuthi uliciko lokukhuluma; bheka, uyeza uzokuhlangabeza, lapho ekubona uyothokoza enhliziyweni yakhe. 15 Uyokhuluma naye, umtshele amazwi azowakhuluma ngomlomo wakhe, ngizokuba semlonyeni wakho nakowakhe, nginifundise enizokwenza. 16 Nguye ozokukhulumela kubantu; uyakuba ngumlomo wakho, wena ufane nonkulunkulu kuye. 17 Phatha le nduku ngesandla sakho, wenze ngayo izibonakaliso.”
UMose Ubuyela EGibhithe
18 UMose wahamba wabuyela kumukhwe wakhe uJethro, wathi kuye: “Ngiyakucela, ngivumele ngihambe, ngibuyele kubahlobo bami abaseGibhithe, ngiyobona ukuthi basaphila yini.”
UJethro wathi kuMose: “Hamba ngokuthula.”
19 USimakade wathi kuMose ekwaMidiyani: “Hamba ubuyele eGibhithe, ngokuba sebafa bonke abebefuna ukukubulala.”
20 UMose wathatha umkakhe namadodana akhe, wabagibelisa embongolweni, wahamba wabuyela eGibhithe. UMose wayephethe induku kaNkulunkulu ngesandla.
21 USimakade wathi kuMose: “Lapho usubuyele eGibhithe, qikelela ukuthi uzenze zonke izimangaliso phambi kukaFaro engakunika amandla okuba uzenze, kodwa ngiyoyenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe, ukuze angabavumeli abantu ukuba bahambe. 22 Uyakuthi kuFaro: ‘Usho kanje uSimakade: “U-Israyeli uyizibulo lami, 23 ngathi kuwe: yivumele indodana yami ihambe ukuze ingikhonze, kepha wenqaba ukuyidedela ihambe, uyabona-ke, ngizoyibulala indodana yakho, izibulo lakho.” ’ ”
24 Esendleleni, endaweni yokuphumula, uSimakade wahlangana naye, wafuna ukumbulala. 25 UZiphora wathatha itshe elicijile wasika ijwabu lendodana yakhe, wathinta izinyawo zikaMose, wathi: “Ungumyeni wami wegazi kimi.”
26Ngalokho wamyeka uMose uSimakade, ngokuba uZiphora wathi: “Ungumyeni wami wegazi, ngenxa yokusoka.”
27 USimakade wathi ku-Aroni: “Hamba uye ehlane uyohlangabeza uMose.”
Wahamba, wahlangana naye entabeni kaNkulunkulu, wamanga. 28UMose wayesetshela u-Aroni wonke amazwi kaSimakade ayemthume wona, nazo zonke izibonakaliso ayemyale ukuba azenze. 29 UMose no-Aroni bahamba baqoqa wonke amalunga abantu bakwa-Israyeli. 30 U-Aroni wawakhuluma wonke amazwi uSimakade ayewakhulume kuMose, wenza nezibonakaliso phambi kwabantu. 31 Abantu bakholwa lapho bezwa ukuthi uSimakade uqaphelile, wabona futhi ukuhlupheka kwabo, base bekhothama, bakhuleka.
