U-Eksodusi

11 UJehova wasesithi kuMosi: “Sekusele ukuthi ngehlisele uhlupho olulodwa kuFaro laphezu kweGibhithe. Ngemva kwalokho uzaliyekela lihambe,+ njalo uzathi eselivumele ukuthi lihambe lizaphuma eselixotsha+ sibili. 2 Ngakho tshela abantu ukuthi bonke abesilisa labesifazana kumele bacele izinto ezenziwe ngesiliva lezenziwe ngegolide+ kubomakhelwane babo.” 3 UJehova wenza ukuthi amaGibhithe abe lomusa ebantwini bako-Israyeli. Kanti njalo uMosi wayesehlonitshwa kakhulu yizinceku zikaFaro kanye labantu bonke elizweni laseGibhithe.

4 UMosi wasesithi: “UJehova uthe, ‘Ngizaphuma phakathi kwamabili ngiyengena eGibhithe,+ 5 njalo wonke amazibulo aselizweni laseGibhithe azakufa,+ kusukela ezibulweni likaFaro ohlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi kuze kuyefika ezibulweni lesigqilikazi esisebenza elitsheni lokuchola, kuphinde kufe wonke amazibulo ezifuyo.+ 6 Kuzakuba lesililo esikhulu kulo lonke ilizwe laseGibhithe, esingakaze sibe khona njalo esingasoze siphinde sibe khona.+ 7 Kodwa akula leyodwa inja ezakhonkotha abantu bako-Israyeli kumbe izifuyo zabo ukuze likwazi ukuthi uJehova uyenelisa ukwenza kube lomehluko phakathi kwamaGibhithe lama-Israyeli.’+ 8 Zonke izinceku zakho zizabuya kimi zizoguqa zikhothamise amakhanda azo zithi, ‘Suka uhambe labantu bonke abakulandelayo.’+ Ngemva kwalokho ngizahamba.” UMosi esetsho njalo wasuka kuFaro ezonde efile.

9 UJehova wasesithi kuMosi: “UFaro kasoze akulalele+ ukuze izimangaliso zami zande elizweni laseGibhithe.”+ 10 UMosi lo-Aroni benza zonke izimangaliso lezi phambi kukaFaro,+ kodwa uJehova wavumela ukuthi inhliziyo kaFaro ibe lukhuni. UFaro kazange avume ukuthi abako-Israyeli baphume elizweni lakhe.+
