Isifo Sesihlanu: Isifo esiwumshayabhuqe phakathi kwemfuyo
1INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngena kuFaro, uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru: Yekela abantu bami bahambe, ukuze bangikhonze.
2Ngokuba uma wala ukubakhulula, ubathulise,
3Bhekani, isandla sikaJehova siphezu kwezinkomo zenu ezisendle, naphezu kwamahhashi, naphezu kwezimbongolo, naphezu kwamakamela, naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwezimvu; kuyoba khona isifo esiwumshayabhuqe esinzima kakhulu.
4UJehova uyakwahlukanisa imfuyo yakwa-Israyeli nemfuyo yaseGibithe, akuyikufa lutho kukho konke okwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
5INkosi yasimisa isikhathi esimisiweyo yathi: Kusasa iNkosi izakwenza lokhu elizweni.
6INkosi yasikwenza lokho ngangomuso, imfuyo yonke yaseGibithe yafa; kepha emfuyweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli akufanga neyodwa.
7UFaro wathuma, bheka, emfuyweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli akufanga neyodwa. Inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe.
Isifo Sesithupha: Ukuqubuka kwamathumba
8UJehova wathi kuMose naku-Aroni: “Zithatheleni izandla zomlotha waseziko, uMose awuphonse esibhakabhakeni phambi kwamehlo kaFaro.
9Kuyoba uthuli oluncane ezweni lonke laseGibhithe, kube yithumba eliqubuka nezikhothwayo kubantu nasezilwaneni ezweni lonke laseGibhithe.
10Base bethatha umlotha waseziko, bema phambi kukaFaro; uMose wayifafazela ezulwini; kwaba yithumba eliqubuka nezikhothwa kubantu nasezinkomeni.
11Izanusi zazingenakuma phambi kukaMose ngenxa yamathumba; ngoba amathumba ayephezu kwezanusi laphezu kwawo wonke amaGibhithe.
Inhlupho Yesikhombisa: Isichotho Esinzima
12UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kabalalelanga; njengalokho uJehova wakhuluma kuMose.
13INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Vuka ekuseni kakhulu, ume phambi kukaFaro, uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru: Yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bangikhonze.
14Ngokuba ngalesi sikhathi ngiyakuthuma zonke izinhlupho zami enhliziyweni yakho, nasezincekwini zakho, nakubantu bakho; ukuze wazi ukuthi akakho onjengami emhlabeni wonke.
15Ngokuba manje ngiyakwelula isandla sami ukuba ngikushaye wena nabantu bakho ngesifo; futhi uyonqunywa emhlabeni.
16Ngakuvusa-ke impela, ukuze ngibonakalise amandla ami kuwe; nokuthi igama lami lishunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.
17Usaziphakamisa yini phezu kwabantu bami, ukuze ungabayekeli bahambe?
18Bheka, kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngiyakunisa isichotho esinzima kakhulu, esingakaze sibe khona eGibithe kusukela ekusekelweni kwalo kuze kube manje.
19Manje thumela futhi uqoqe izinkomo zakho nakho konke onakho endle; ngoba phezu kwawo wonke umuntu nezilwane ezitholakala endle futhi zingalethwa ekhaya, isichotho siyowela phezu kwazo, zife.
20Owesabayo izwi leNkosi phakathi kwezinceku zikaFaro, izinceku zakhe nemfuyo yakhe mababalekela ezindlini.
21Kepha yena ongalalelanga izwi likaJehova washiya izinceku zakhe nezinkomo zakhe endle.
22INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yelulela isandla sakho emazulwini, ukuze kube khona isichotho elizweni lonke leGibhithe, phezu kwabantu lezilwane laphezu kwazo zonke izimila zeganga elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
23UMose wayeselula intonga yakhe ezulwini, uJehova wathumela ukuduma nesichotho, nomlilo wehlela emhlabeni; uJehova wanisa isichotho phezu kwezwe laseGibithe.
24Kwasekusiba khona isichotho lomlilo kuxutshaniswe lesiqhotho, esinzima kakhulu, ekungazange kube khona okunjengalokhu elizweni lonke leGibhithe selokhu laba yisizwe.
25Isichotho sashaya konke okwakusendle, abantu nezinkomo, ezweni lonke laseGibithe; isichotho sashaya zonke izitshalo zasendle, saphula yonke imithi yasendle.
26Ezweni laseGosheni kuphela, lapho kwakukhona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, akubangakho sichotho.
27UFaro wayesethuma wabiza oMose no-Aroni, wathi kubo: “Ngonile ngalesi sikhathi; uJehova ulungile, mina nabantu bami sibabi.
28Khulekani eNkosini (ngoba sekwanele) ukuthi kungabe kusaba khona ukuduma okukhulu lesichotho; ngiyakunivumela ukuba nihambe, ningabe nisahlala.
29UMozisi wasesithi kuye: Nxa ngiphuma emzini, ngizakwelulela izandla zami eNkosini; nokuduma kuyonqamuka, nesichotho ngeke sisaba khona; ukuze nazi ukuthi umhlaba ungokaJehova.
30Kepha wena nezinceku zakho ngiyazi ukuthi aniyikuyesaba iNkosi uJehova.
31Ifilakisi nebhali kwase kubhulwa, ngokuba ibhali lase liyisikhwebu, nefilakisi laliyithumba.
32Kodwa ukolweni nokhula akubhuqwanga, ngokuba kwakungekukhulu.
33UMose waphuma emzini kaFaro, welulela izandla zakhe kuJehova; kwanqamuka ukuduma nesichotho, nemvula ayizange inethe emhlabeni.
34Lapho uFaro ebona ukuthi imvula nesichotho nokuduma kunqamukile, waqhubeka wona futhi wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe, yena nezinceku zakhe.
35Inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kabavumelanga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe; njengokukhuluma kukaJehova ngoMose.
