10 Jehova watsi kuMosi: “Hamba uye kuFaro ngobe ngivumele inhlitiyo yakhe kanye neyetinceku takhe kutsi ibe lukhuni,+ kuze ngente letimangaliso tami embikwakhe,+ 2 futsi nawe utawucocela emadvodzana akho kanye nebatukulu bakho kutsi ngabajezisa njani bantfu baseGibhithe, nekutsi ngutiphi timangaliso lengatenta kubo.+ Nakanjani nitawukwati kutsi mine nginguJehova.”
3 BoMosi na-Aroni baya kuFaro, batsi kuye: “Naku Jehova Nkulunkulu wemaHebheru lakushoko: ‘Kutawuze kube ngunini solo ungafuni kungilalela?+ Khulula bantfu bami kuze bayongikhonta. 4 Ngobe nangabe solo ungabakhululi, kusasa ngitawuletsa sikhonyane kulelive lakho. 5 Sitawugcwala kulo lonkhe lelive nize ningasawuboni nemhlabatsi. Sitawudla loko lobekusele, lokungazange kumoshwe sangcotfo, sidle nato tonkhe tihlahla tenu letimilako.+ 6 Sitawugcwala etindlini takho, etindlini tato tonkhe tinceku takho nakuto tonkhe tindlu taseGibhithe, sitawuba sinyenti ngendlela bobabe benu nabomkhulu benu labangazange sebayibone kusukela baba khona kulelive kuze kube ngulamuhla.’”+ Ngemuva kwaloko, Mosi wesuka kuFaro.
7 Ngako tinceku taFaro tatsi kuye: “Kutawuze kube ngunini sihlushwa ngulendvodza?* Khulula labantfu kuze bayokhonta Jehova Nkulunkulu wabo. Nanyalo solo awuboni yini kutsi iGibhithe seyimoshakele?” 8 Ngenca yaloko boMosi na-Aroni baletfwa kuFaro, futsi watsi kubo: “Hambani niyokhonta Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu. Kodvwa-ke bobani vele lenitawuhamba nabo?” 9 Mosi watsi: “Sitawuhamba nebantfu bakitsi labasha nalabadzala, emadvodzana kanye nemadvodzakati etfu, timvu kanye netinkhomo tetfu,+ ngobe siyowentela Jehova umkhosi.”+ 10 Faro watsi kubo: “Nangiyoke nginikhulule nine nebantfwana benu, impela kutawusho kutsi Jehova unani!+ Ngiyabona kutsi kunentfo lembi lenifuna kuyenta. 11 Cha, angeke nihambe nonkhe! Kutawuhamba emadvodza kuphela ayokhonta Jehova, ngobe nguloko lenikucelile.” Ngemuva kwaloko boMosi na-Aroni bakhishwa embikwaFaro.
12 Jehova wase utsi kuMosi: “Yelulela sandla sakho eveni laseGibhithe kuze kuvele sikhonyane futsi sidle tonkhe titjalo letikulelive, lokungiko konkhe lokungazange kumoshwe sangcotfo.” 13 Ngaso leso sikhatsi Mosi welulela indvuku yakhe eveni laseGibhithe. Jehova wase wenta kutsi kuhhushe umoya wasemphumalanga imini yonkhe nebusuku bonkhe kulelive. Ekuseni, lomoya wasemphumalanga waletsa sikhonyane. 14 Lesikhonyane sagcwala kulo lonkhe lelive laseGibhithe,+ sasakatekela kuyo yonkhe indzawo. Sabanga umonakalo lomkhulu kakhulu. Bekungakaze kube nesikhonyane lesingaka+ futsi besingeke siphindze sibe khona lesingangaso. 15 Lesikhonyane sambonya lonkhe lelive laze laba mnyama, sadla tonkhe titjalo kanye nato tonkhe titselo lebetisetihlahleni letingazange timoshwe sangcotfo. Kute ngisho nakunye lokuluhlata lokwasala etihlahleni nobe emasimini kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe.
16 Ngekushesha Faro wabita Mosi na-Aroni watsi: “Ngonile kuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, futsi ngonile nakini. 17 Ngicela ningicolele kanye nje, ningincengele nakuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu kutsi asuse lesishayo lesibulalako langiletsele sona.” 18 Ngako wesuka* embikwaFaro, wancenga Jehova.+ 19 Jehova wabese wenta kutsi lomoya ushintje uchamuke ngasenshonalanga, futsi waba mkhulu kakhulu wasusa sonkhe lesikhonyane wasiphephulela eLwandle Lolubovu. Kute ngisho nalesincane lesasala kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe. 20 Kodvwa Jehova wavumela inhlitiyo yaFaro kutsi ibe lukhuni,+ futsi akazange awakhulule ema-Israyeli.
21 Jehova wase utsi kuMosi: “Yelulela sandla sakho emazulwini kuze kube mnyama eveni laseGibhithe, kube mnyama khwishi.” 22 Ngaso leso sikhatsi, Mosi welulela sandla sakhe emazulwini, futsi kwaba mnyama kakhulu kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe emalanga lamatsatfu.+ 23 Bantfu baseGibhithe bebangabonani, futsi kute ngisho namunye lowakhona kusuka endzaweni labekuyo emalanga lamatsatfu. Kodvwa bekukhanya lapho ema-Israyeli abehlala khona.+ 24 Faro wase ubita Mosi watsi kuye: “Hambani niyokhonta Jehova.+ Kodvwa timvu tenu kanye netinkhomo tenu titawusala. Bantfwana benu ningahamba nabo.” 25 Mosi watsi: “Wena kufanele usivumele kutsi sihambe netilwane tekwenta imihlatjelo, nalesiyokwenta ngato iminikelo yekushiswa. Letilwane sitawunikela ngato kuJehova Nkulunkulu wetfu.+ 26 Imfuyo yetfu sitawuhamba nayo. Angeke sivume kutsi kusale ngisho nasinye silwane* ngobe sitawusebentisa letinye tato nasikhonta Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu, futsi sitawukwati nasifika khona kutsi ngutiphi lesitawunikela ngato kuJehova.” 27 Jehova wavumela inhlitiyo yaFaro kutsi ibe lukhuni, futsi Faro akazange avume kutsi bahambe.+ 28 Faro watsi kuMosi: “Suka embikwami! Ungaphindzi nje ute lapha kimi, ngobe mhlazana uta kimi, utawufa.” 29 Ngako Mosi watsi: “Kutawuba njengobe usho, angeke ngiphindze ngite kuwe.”
