10 Farao paakasvika pedyo, vanakomana vaIsraeri vakatarira, vakaona vaIjipiti vachivatevera; vanakomana vaIsraeri vakatya kwazvo vakatanga kuchemera Jehovha.+ 11 Ivo vakati kuna Mosesi: “Makatisvitsa kuno kuti tifire murenje nokuti muIjipiti hamuna kana makuva here?+ Chii ichi chamakatiitira nokutibudisa muIjipiti? 12 Izvi handizvo here zvatakakuudzai tiri muIjipiti, tichiti, ‘Tiregei hedu, kuti tishandire vaIjipiti’? Nokuti zviri nani kuti tishandire hedu vaIjipiti, pane kuti tifire murenje.”+ 13 Mosesi akabva ati kuvanhu vacho: “Musatya henyu.+ Mirai makasimba muone ruponeso rwaJehovha, rwaachakuitirai nhasi.+ Nokuti vaIjipiti ava vamuri kuona nhasi hamuchazombovaonizve, aiwa, kana.+ 14 Jehovha achakurwirai,+ uye imi muchange makanyarara henyu.”

26 Jehovha akazoti kuna Mosesi: “Tambanudzira ruoko rwako pamusoro pegungwa,+ kuti mvura idzokere pamusoro pevaIjipiti, pangoro dzavo dzehondo nevarwi vavo vanotasva mabhiza.” 27 Mosesi akabva atambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, gungwa rikatanga kudzokera pane zvarakanga rakaita kwava kuedza. Munguva yose iyi vaIjipiti vakanga vachitiza kuti varege kusangana naro, asi Jehovha akazunzira vaIjipiti mukati megungwa.+ 28 Mvura yakaramba ichidzokera.+ Iyo yakazofukidza ngoro dzehondo nevarwi vaitasva mabhiza vemauto ose ehondo aFarao vakanga vapinda mugungwa vachivatevera.+ Hapana kana nomumwe wavo akasara.+
