Eksodusi
7 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi: “Ngikwente waba njengaNkulunkulu* kuFaro, Aroni umnakenu yena utawuba ngumphrofethi wakho.+ 2 Kufanele uchazele Aroni umnakenu konkhe lengitakutjela kona, bese yena ukhuluma naFaro. Ekugcineni Faro utawakhipha ema-Israyeli eveni lakhe. 3 Mine ngitawuvumela inhlitiyo yaFaro kutsi ibe lukhuni,+ ngente tibonakaliso netimangaliso letinyenti eveni laseGibhithe.+ 4 Kodvwa Faro ngeke anilalele. Ngako ngitawushaya iGibhithe ngesandla sami, futsi emabutfo ami, lokubantfu bami ema-Israyeli ngitawakhipha eGibhithe, yona ngiyijezise kakhulu.+ 5 Nangelula sandla sami ngishaya iGibhithe, ngiphindze ngikhulula ema-Israyeli, bantfu baseGibhithe batawukwati kutsi mine nginguJehova.”+ 6 BoMosi na-Aroni bakwenta loko Jehova labebatjele kona; bakwenta konkhe njengobe abeshito. 7 Ngesikhatsi bakhuluma naFaro,+ Mosi abeneminyaka lengu-80 budzala, Aroni yena aneminyaka lengu-83.
8 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi na-Aroni: 9 “Nangabe Faro atsi kini: ‘Yentani simangaliso,’ ubotjela Aroni utsi: ‘Tsatsa lendvuku yakho uyijike phansi embikwaFaro.’ Yona itawugucuka ibe yinyoka lenkhulu.”+ 10 Ngako boMosi na-Aroni baya kuFaro bafike benta njengobe nje Jehova abebatjelile. Aroni wajika indvuku yakhe phansi embikwaFaro netinceku takhe, yona yagucuka yaba yinyoka lenkhulu. 11 Kodvwa Faro wabita emadvodza lahlakaniphile netangoma, nebaphristi baseGibhithe+ labenta imilingo futsi nabo benta lokufanako ngemilingo yabo.+ 12 Nguloyo naloyo wajika indvuku yakhe phansi, tonkhe tagucuka taba tinyoka letinkhulu. Kodvwa indvuku ya-Aroni yamita letindvuku tabo. 13 Nobe kunjalo, inhlitiyo yaFaro yachubeka yaba lukhuni.+ Akazange abalalele boMosi na-Aroni, njengobe nje Jehova abeshito.
14 Ngemuva kwaloko Jehova watsi kuMosi: “Inhlitiyo yaFaro ilukhuni.+ Walile kukhulula bantfu bami. 15 Ubokuya kuFaro ekuseni, njengobe atawube aya emfuleni. Ubofike ume ngaseceleni kweMfula iNayili kuze akukhandze khona, futsi uphatse lendvuku legucuke yaba yinyoka.+ 16 Ubotsi kuye: ‘Jehova Nkulunkulu wemaHebheru ungitfume kuwe,+ watsi: “Khulula bantfu bami kuze bayewungikhonta ehlane,” kodvwa kuze kube ngunyalo solo awubakhululi. 17 Naku Jehova lakushoko: “Utawukwati ngaloku kutsi nginguJehova.+ Ngitawushaya emanti eMfula iNayili ngalendvuku, agucuke abe yingati. 18 Tinhlanti letiseMfuleni iNayili titawufa, nalomfula utawunuka. Bantfu baseGibhithe ngeke bakhone kuwanatsa lamanti awo.”’”
19 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi: “Tjela Aroni utsi: ‘Tsatsa lendvuku yakho, welulele sandla sakho ngetulu kwemanti aseGibhithe,+ etikwemifula yakhona, imisele,* ematete,+ nasetikwawo onkhe emadamu akhona, kuze lamanti agucuke abe yingati.’ Kutawuba nengati kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe, ngisho nasetintfweni tekuphatsa emanti letentiwe ngelugodvo nangematje.” 20 Ngekushesha boMosi na-Aroni benta njengobe nje Jehova abatjelile. Aroni waphakamisa lendvuku, washaya emanti eMfula iNayili embikwaFaro netinceku takhe, futsi onkhe lamanti agucuka aba yingati.+ 21 Tinhlanti lebetikuloMfula iNayili tafa,+ lomfula wabese uyanuka, nebantfu baseGibhithe bebangasakhoni kunatsa emanti awo.+ Kwaba nengati kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe.
22 Kodvwa baphristi baseGibhithe labenta imilingo nabo benta lokufanako ngemilingo yabo,+ ngako inhlitiyo yaFaro yachubeka yaba lukhuni futsi akazange abalalele boMosi na-Aroni, njengobe nje Jehova abekhulumile.+ 23 Ngemuva kwaloko Faro wabuyela endlini yakhe, naloku lebekwentekile akazange akunake. 24 Bonkhe bantfu baseGibhithe bagubha kuto tonkhe tindzawo ngaseMfuleni iNayili kuze batfole emanti ekunatsa, ngobe bebangakhoni kuwanatsa emanti awo. 25 Kwendlula emalanga langu-7 kusukela Jehova ashaye uMfula iNayili.
