Isibetho sesibini nesesithathu nesesiné
1Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yiya kuFaro, uthi kuye, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Bandulule abantu bam, baye kundikhonza. 2Ke ukuba ùthe akwavuma ukubandulula, uyabona, ndoyibetha yonke imida yakho ngamasele; 3umlambo unyakazele amasele, anyuke, angene endlwini yakho, nasesililini sakho, naphezu kwesingqengqelo sakho, nasendlwini yabakhonzi bakho, nasebantwini bakho, nasezimbizeni zakho, nasemikhumbini yakho yentlama; 4anyuke amasele lawo, eze nakuwe, nakubantu bakho, nakubakhonzi bakho bonke. 5Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yithi kuAron, Yolula isandla sakho eso sinentonga yakho phezu kwemilambo, naphezu kwemijelo, naphezu kwamachibi, unyuse amasele phezu kwelizwe laseYiputa. 6Wasolula ke uAron isandla sakhe phezu kwamanzi aseYiputa; enyuka amasele, aligubungela ilizwe laseYiputa. 7Zenjenjalo nezazi ngobugqi bazo, zawanyusa amasele phezu kwelizwe laseYiputa.
8UFaro wabiza uMoses noAron, wathi, Mthandazeni uYehova, awasuse amasele kum nasebantwini bam; ndobandulula abantu, baye kubingelela kuYehova. 9Wathi uMoses kuFaro, Zizukise ngokundimisela ixesha lokuba ndikuthandazele nini na, wena nabakhonzi bakho, nabantu bakho, anqunyulwe amasele kuwe nakwindlu yakho, asale emlanjeni wodwa. 10Wathi yena, Ngomso. Wathi ke, Makube ngokwelizwi lakho, ukuze wazi ukuba akukho unjengoYehova uThixo wethu; 11asuke amasele kuwe, nakwizindlu zakho, nakubakhonzi bakho, nakubantu bakho; asale emlanjeni wodwa.
12Baphuma ke ooMoses noAron kuFaro; wadanduluka uMoses kuYehova ngendawo yamasele abewabeke phezu koFaro. 13Wenza uYehova ngokwelizwi likaMoses. Afa amasele ezindlwini, nasezintendelezweni, nasemasimini. 14Bawahlanganisa aziimfumba ngeemfumba; lanuka ilizwe. 15Uthe ke uFaro akuba nethuba lokuphefumla, wayenza lukhuni intliziyo yakhe, akabaphulaphula, njengoko watshoyo uYehova.
16Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yithi kuAron, Yolula intonga yakho, ulubethe uthuli lwelizwe lube ziingcongconi ezweni lonke laseYiputa. 17Benjenjalo. Wasolula uAron isandla sakhe eso sinentonga yakhe, walubetha uthuli lwelizwe, lwaba ziingcongconi ebantwini nasezinkomeni. Lonke uthuli lwelizwe lwaba ziingcongconi ezweni lonke laseYiputa. 18Zenjenjalo nezazi ngobugqi bazo, ukuba zivelise iingcongconi, azaba nako. Kwakho iingcongconi ebantwini nasezinkomeni. 19Zathi izazi kuFaro, Ngumnwe kaThixo. Yaba lukhuni intliziyo kaFaro, akabaphulaphula, njengoko watshoyo uYehova.
20Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Vuka kusasa ngomso, ume phambi koFaro, nanko ephuma esiya emanzini; uthi kuye, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Bandulule abantu bam, baye kundikhonza. 21Okanye ukuba uthe akwabandulula abantu bam, yabona, ndithuma izibawu kuwe, nakubakhonzi bakho, nakubantu bakho, nasezindlwini zakho, zizale izindlu zamaYiputa zizibawu, nomhlaba akuwo; 22ndilibàlule ngaloo mini lona ilizwe laseGoshen, abemi kulo abantu bam, kungabikho zibawu khona, ukuze wazi ukuba ndinguYehova phakathi kwelizwe; 23ndimìse inkululo phakathi kwabantu bam nabantu bakho; lo mqondiso uya kubakho ngomso. 24Wenjenjalo uYehova. Kweza izibawu ezininzi endlwini kaFaro, nasezindlwini zabakhonzi bakhe, nasezweni lonke laseYiputa; lonakala ilizwe zizibawu.
25UFaro wabiza uMoses na-Aron, wathi, Yiyani nibingelele kuThixo wenu kweli lizwe. 26Wathi uMoses, Àkulungisile ukwenjenjalo; kuba soba sibingelela amasikizi amaYiputa kuYehova uThixo wethu. Ukuba sithe sabingelela into engamasikizi kumaYiputa phambi kwawo, osixuluba ngamatye. 27Siya kuhamba uhambo lweentsuku ezintathu entlango, sibingelele kuYehova uThixo wethu, njengoko wóthi asiyalele. 28Wathi uFaro, Ndiya kunindulula nina, niye kubingelela kuYehova uThixo wenu entlango, kodwa ize ningahambi niye kude; ndithandazeleni. 29Wathi uMoses, Yabona, ndiya kuphuma kuwe, ndithandaze kuYehova, zimke izibawu kuFaro, nakubakhonzi bakhe, nakubantu bakhe ngomso, kodwa makangaphindi uFaro akhohlise ngokungabandululi abantu, baye kubingelela kuYehova.
30Wemka uMoses, wathandaza kuYehova. 31Wenza uYehova ngokwelizwi likaMoses, wazisusa izibawu kuFaro, nakubakhonzi bakhe, nakubantu bakhe; akwasala nasinye. 32UFaro wayiqaqadekisa intliziyo yakhe, nangesi sihlandlo, akabandulula abantu.
