2UNkulunkulu wakhuluma noMose, wathi kuye: “NginguSimakade. 3Ngabonakala ku-Abhrahama, ku-Isaka, nakuJakobe njengoNkulunkulu uSomandla, kodwa igama lami, ‘uSimakade’ angibazisanga lona. 4Ngenza isivumelwano nabo sokubanika iKhanani, izwe ababehlala kulo njengabafokazi. 5Ngikuzwile futhi ukububula kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli abenziwe izigqila ngabaseGibhithe, ngase ngisikhumbula isivumelwano sami. 6Ngakho-ke yisho kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘NginguSimakade, ngiyakunikhulula emithwalweni yabaseGibhithe, nginikhulule ekugqilazweni yibo, nginihlenge ngengalo eyeluliweyo nangezenzo ezinkulu zokwehlulela. 7Ngizonithatha nibe ngabantu bami, futhi ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu. Niyokwazi ukuthi Mina Simakade nginguNkulunkulu wenu, onikhululile emithwalweni yabaseGibhithe. 8Ngiyakuniyisa ezweni engafunga ukulinika u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe; ngiyakuninika lona libe yifa lenu. NginguSimakade.’ ”
9UMose wakhuluma kanjalo kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, kodwa abazange bamlalele, ngenxa yezinhliziyo ezincane nokusebenza kanzima.
10USimakade wakhuluma kuMose, ethi: 11“Hamba ukhulume noFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ukuba avumele abakwa-Israyeli baphume ezweni lakhe.”
12Kepha uMose waphendula uSimakade, wathi: “Abantu abazange bangilalele; uzongilalela kanjani uFaro nginezindebe ezingasokwanga kanje na?”
13USimakade wakhuluma kuMose no-Aroni ukuba bayale abantu bakwa-Israyeli noFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ukuba akhiphe abantu bakwa-Israyeli eGibhithe.
