Eksodusi 14
1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
2Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba baphenduke, bamise ngaphambi kwePhihagiroti, phakathi kweMigidoli nolwandle, malungana neBali Sefoni; ngalokho uyakumisa ngaselwandle.
3Ngoba uFaro uzakuthi ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli: Badidekile elizweni, inkangala ibahaqile.
4Ngiyakuyenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro ukuba abalandele; ngiyakudunyiswa phambi kukaFaro naphezu kwempi yakhe yonke; ukuze abaseGibithe bazi ukuthi nginguJehova. Benza kanjalo.
5Kwasekubikwa enkosini yeGibhithe ukuthi abantu babalekile, lenhliziyo kaFaro leyenceku zakhe yabaphendukela abantu, bathi: Sikwenzeleni lokhu, ukuthi senze uIsrayeli ahambe asikhonze?
6Walungisa inqola yakhe, wathatha abantu bakhe wahamba naye.
7Wathatha izinqola ezingamakhulu ayisithupha zekhethelo kanye nazo zonke izinqola zaseGibhithe nezinduna phezu kwazo zonke.
8UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe, waxosha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphuma ngesandla esiphakeme.
9AbaseGibithe babaxosha, amahhashi onke, nezinqola zikaFaro, nabamahhashi bakhe, nempi yakhe, babafica ababemise ngaselwandle ngasePhi-hagiroti ngaphambi kweBali Sefoni.
10UFaro esesondela, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphakamisa amehlo abo, bheka, abaseGibithe babebalandela; besaba kakhulu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuleka kuJehova.
11Base bethi kuMose: “Ngokuba kwakungekho mathuna eGibithe wasisusa ukuba sifele ehlane na?” wasenzelani kanje, wasikhipha eGibithe na?
12Leli akulona yini izwi esalikhuluma kuwe eGibhithe ukuthi: Ake sime, ukuze sikhonze abaseGibhithe? Ngokuba kwakungcono kithi ukukhonza abaseGibithe kunokuba sifele ehlane.
13UMose wayesethi kubantu: “Ningesabi; yimani, nibone ukusindiswa kweNkosi ezonenzela khona namuhla; ngokuba abaseGibithe enibabonile namuhla anisayikubabona kuze kube phakade.
14UJehova uyakunilwela, nina nithule;
15UJehova wathi kuMose: “Ungibizelani na? khuluma nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuthi baqhubeke.
16Kepha wena phakamisa udondolo lwakho, welule isandla sakho phezu kolwandle, uluhlukanise, ukuze abantwana bakwa-Israyeli badabule ulwandle emhlabathini owomileyo.
17Mina, bheka, ngiyakuzenza lukhuni izinhliziyo zabaseGibithe, bawalandele; ngizakhazimulisa uFaro lakulo lonke ibutho lakhe, lezinqola zakhe, labagadi bamabhiza bakhe.
18AbaseGibithe bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, uma ngimdumise uFaro, nezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.
19Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu eyaphuma phambi kwempi yakwa-Israyeli yasuka, yabalandela; insika yefu yasuka phambi kwawo, yema emva kwawo.
20Yangena phakathi kwempi yabaseGibithe nempi yakwa-Israyeli; futhi laliyifu nobumnyama kubo, kodwa lalibakhanyisela ebusuku, ukuze omunye angafiki komunye ubusuku bonke.
21UMose wayeselula isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle; uJehova wabangela ukuba ulwandle luhlehle ubusuku bonke ngomoya wasempumalanga onamandla, womisa ulwandle, amanzi ahlukana.
22Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle, amanzi aba lugange kubo ngakwesokunene sabo nangakwesokhohlo.
23AbaseGibithe babaxosha, bawalandela kwaze kwaba phakathi kolwandle, namahhashi onke kaFaro, nezinqola zakhe, nabamahhashi bakhe.
24Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi ngomlindo wokusa iNkosi yabheka phakathi kwensika yomlilo nefu ebuthweni labaseGibhithe, futhi impi yamaGibhithe yanqotshwa.
25Ase ekhumula amasondo ezinqola zawo, awagibelisa, kangangokuthi abaseGibithe bathi: “Masibaleke phambi kuka-Israyeli; ngoba uJehova uyabalwela emelene labaseGibhithe.
26INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yelula isandla sakho phezu kolwandle, ukuze amanzi abuyele phezu kwabaseGibhithe, phezu kwezinqola zabo laphezu kwabagadi bawo bamabhiza.
27UMose wayeselula isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle, ulwandle lwabuyela ngamandla alo ekuzeni kokusa; abaseGibithe bawubalekela; uJehova wagumbuqela abaseGibithe phakathi kolwandle.
28Amanzi abuya, asibekela izinqola, nabamahhashi, nempi yonke kaFaro eyangena elwandle emva kwawo; akwasala ngisho noyedwa kubo.
29Kepha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahamba emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kolwandle; amanzi aba lugange kubo ngakwesokunene sabo nangakwesokhohlo sabo.
30Ngakho uJehova wakhulula u-Israyeli ngalolo suku esandleni sabaseGibhithe; u-Israyeli wabona abaseGibithe befile ogwini lolwandle.
31U-Israyeli wawubona umsebenzi omkhulu uJehova awenza kwabaseGibhithe; abantu base bemesaba uJehova, bakholwa nguJehova nenceku yakhe uMose.
