EYEMFUDUKO 6

₁Wathi ke uNdikhoyo kuMosis: “Uza kuyibona ke ngoku into endiza kuyenza kukumkani waseJiputa. Ngamandla am ndomnyanzela abakhulule aba bantu; enyanisweni ndiza kumenza abagxothe ngokwakhe emhlabeni wakhe.”

₂UThixo wathetha noMosis wathi: “*NdinguNdikhoyo. ₃Ndabonakala kuAbraham nakuIsake nakuYakobi njengoThixo uSomandla, kodwa ke andizange ndizazise kubo ngegama lam uNdikhoyo. ₄Ngaphezu koko ndênza umnqophiso nabo, ndathi ndobanika ilizwe laseKanana, apho boma khona baxhwarhe okwabahambi. ₅Ngoku ke ndisivile isingqala samaSirayeli ngenxa yokukhotyozwa ngamaJiputa, ndaye ke ndiwukhumbule loo mnqophiso. ₆Ngoko ke yithi kumaSirayeli: ‘NdinguNdikhoyo, ndaye ke ndiza kunikhupha kwingcinezelo yamaJiputa, ndinikhulule kwiimbophelelo zawo. Ndiya kunihlangula ngesandla esigadalala nangezigwebo ezingqongqo. ₇Ndiya kunenza abantu bam, mna ndibe nguThixo wenu. Nani ke niya kuqonda ukuba mna Ndikhoyo ndinguThixo wenu onikhulule ebukhobokeni eJiputa. ₈Ndiya kunikhokela, ndinise kwilizwe endafungayo ukuba ndolinika uAbraham, uIsake, noYakobi. Ndiya kunipha lona, libe lelenu; kaloku mna ndinguNdikhoyo.’ ” ₉La mazwi uMosis wawaxela kumaSirayeli, kodwa ngenxa yokudakumba nangenxa yenkohlakalo yasebukhobokeni akamphulaphulanga.

₁₀Wathi ke uNdikhoyo kuMosis: ₁₁“Hamba uye kukumkani waseJiputa, uthi ndithi kuye makawakhulule amaSirayeli, aphume emhlabeni wakhe.”

₁₂UMosis waphendula wathi: “Njengokuba engandiphulaphuli nje amaSirayeli, uya kundiphulaphula njani ke ukumkani? Ibe ke andililo naciko.”

₁₃Naxa kunjalo uNdikhoyo wathetha nabo ooMosis noAron, wabathumela kumaSirayeli nakukumkani, esithi amaSirayeli makakhutshwe aphume eJiputa.
