Eksodus

11 UYehova wathi kuMoses: “Ndiza kumzisela esokugqibela isibetho uFaro neYiputa. Emva kwaso uza kunikhulula nimke apha.+ Xa enikhulula, uza kube eniqhuba ngasemva.+ 2 Xelela abantu, amadoda nabafazi ukuba bazicelele izinto ezenziwe ngesilivere negolide kubamelwane babo.”+ 3 UYehova wabenza bathandwa ngamaYiputa. NoMoses wayesele ehlonitshwa kakhulu elizweni laseYiputa, ehlonitshwa zizicaka zikaFaro nangabantu bakwaSirayeli.

4 Wathi uMoses: “Uthi uYehova, ‘Ndiza kuphuma ezinzulwini zobusuku ndingene eYiputa,+ 5 yaye onke amazibulo elizweni laseYiputa aza kufa,+ ukusuka kwizibulo likaFaro ohleli etroneni yakhe ukuyokutsho kwizibulo lesicakakazi esisebenza elityeni lokuguba, nawo onke amazibulo emfuyo.+ 6 Kuza kuvakala isikhalo esikhulu kulo lonke ilizwe laseYiputa, isikhalo esingazange saviwa nesingasoze siphinde siviwe.+ 7 Kodwa akukho nenja le eza kuwakhonkotha amaSirayeli nemfuyo yawo, ukuze nazi ukuba uYehova uyakwazi ukwahlula phakathi kwamaYiputa namaSirayeli.’+ 8 Ngokuqinisekileyo zonke izicaka zakho ziza kwehla zize kum ziqubude, zisithi, ‘Hamba, wena nabo bonke abantu abakulandelayo.’+ Emva koko ndiza kuhamba.” Watsho ephuma kuFaro evutha ngumsindo.

9 Wathi uYehova kuMoses: “UFaro akazukukumamela,+ ukuze ndenze imimangaliso emininzi elizweni laseYiputa.”+ 10 UMoses noAron bayenza yonke le mimangaliso phambi koFaro,+ kodwa uYehova wayiyeka yaba lukhuni intliziyo kaFaro, akawakhulula amaSirayeli elizweni lakhe.+
