¹ Wase Simakadze ukhuluma ku Mosi, watsi, ² "Tjela ema Israyeli kutsi kumele ancandzeke afike ahlalahlale ngaphambi kwePi Hahirothi, emkhatsini we Migdol nelwandle, eceleni kwe Baal Zephon. Nitawuve nihlala ngaselwandle lolubukene ne Pi Hahiroth. ³ Faro utawukhuluma ngema Israyeli atsi, 'Bayayingayinga kulendzawo. Lelihlane libavalele.' ⁴ Ngitawenta inhlitiyo ya Faro ibe lukhuni, utawuphindze abacoshe. Ngitawutfola ludvumo ngenca ya Faro nayo yonkhe imphi yakhe. Ema Gibhithe atawati kutsi ngingu Simakadze." Ngako ke ema Israyeli ahlalahlala njengobe abetjeliwe. ⁵ Ngalesikhatsi inkhosi yema Gibhithe itjelwa kutsi ema Israyeli abalekile, ingcondvo ya Faro netingcondvo tetisebenti takhe tasijikela lesive. Base batsi, "Yini lesiyentile? Sesikhulule ema Israyeli ekusebenteleni tsine." ⁶ "Wase Faro ulungiselela tincola waphindze watsatsa nemphi yakhe. ⁷ Watsatsa tincola telukhetselo letingemakhulu lasitfupha nato tonkhe letinye tincola tase Gibhithe, tinetindvuna tato. ⁸ Simakadze wayenta yaba lukhuni inhlitiyo ya Faro, inkhosi yema Gibhithe, lenkhosi yawacosha lama Israyeli. Ngaleso sikhatsi ema Israyeli ahamba ngenjabulo. ⁹ Kodvwa ema Gibhithe abacosha, kanye nemahhashi netincola, nebagibeli bemahhashi, nemphi yakhe. Bawakhandza labekahlalahlala khona ema Israyeli ngaselwandle dvute ne Pi Harirothi, lengembili kwe Baal Zephon. ¹⁰ Kwatsi Faro nakasondzela, ema Israyeli abuka etulu amangala. Ema Gibhithe bekahamba ngemuva kwabo, betfuka. Ema Israyeli akhala ku Simakadze. ¹¹ Atsi ku Mosi, "Kungenca yekutsi bekute emathuna yini e Gibhithe, kutsi bongadzimate usitsatse kutsi sitewufela lapha ehlane? Usente leni kanjena, wasikhipha e Gibhithe? ¹² Akusiko yini loku lesakutjela kona e Gibhithe? Satsi kuwe, 'Siyekele, khona sitewusebentela ema Gibhithe.' Bekutawuba ncono kitsi kutsi sibasebentele kunekutsi sifele kulelihlane." ¹³ Mosi watsi kulesive, "Ningesabi. Manini nicine niphindze nibone lusito Simakadze lataninika lona namuhla. Ngobe ngeke niphindze niwabone lama Gibhithe leniwabonako namuhla. ¹⁴ Simakadze utanilwela, nine ke kutawumele nime nicine. ¹⁵ "Wase Simakadze ku Mosi utsi, "Leni wena, Mosi, uchubeke nekungibita? Tjela ema Israyeli kutsi achubekele embili.. ¹⁶ Phakamisa indvuku yakho, welulele sandla sakho elwandle ulidzabule libe kabili, khona sive saka Israyeli sitolewela lelwandle emhlabatsini lowomile. ¹⁷ Yati kutsi ngitawenta tinhlitiyo tema Gibhithe tibe lukhuni khona titobalandzela. Ngitawutfola ludvumo ngenca ya Faro nemphi yakhe, netincola kanye nebagibeli bemahhashi. ¹⁸ Atawubese ema Gibhithe ayati kutsi ngingu Simakadze nasengitfole ludvumo ngenca ya Faro, netincola takhe, kanye nebagibeli bemahhashi akhe. ¹⁹ Ingelosi ya Nkulunkulu, leyahamba ngaphambi kwema Israyeli, yajika yayohamba ngemuva kwabo. Insika yelifu yesuka embikwabo yafike yema ngemuva kwabo. ²⁰ Lelifu langena emkhatsini wesive sema Gibhithe nesive sema Israyeli. Bekulifu lelimnyama kuma Gibhithe, kodvwa laletsa kukhanya kuma Israyeli, ngako ke kute sive lesasondzela kulesinye busuku bonkhe. ²¹ Mosi welulela sandla sakhe elwandle. Simakadze wabuyisela emuva lwandle ngemoya lomkhulu busuku bonkhe waphindze lwandle walenta laba ngumhlabatsi lowomile. Ngaleyo ndlela emanti ahlukana. ²² Ema Israyeli angena ekhatsi elwandle ahamba emhlabatsini lowomile. Lamanti akha lubondza ngesekudla sabo nasencele sabo. ²³ Ema Gibhithe abacosha. Ahamba emvakwabo angena ekhatsi nelwandle- onkhe emahhashi a Faro, tincola, kanye nebagibeli bemahhashi. ²⁴ Kodvwa ngetikhatsi tasekuseni, Simakadze wabuka phansi abuka imphi yema Gibhithe ngalensika yemlilo nelifu. Wafaka kwesaba kuma Gibhithe. ²⁵ Emasondvo etincola tabo abambeka, nebagibeli bemahhashi bawachuba matima. Ngako ke ema Gibhithe atsi, "Asimbalekeleni Israyeli, ngobe Simakadze uyabalwela kitsi." ^{26 27 28} "Simakadze watsi ku Mosi, "Yelula sandla sakho etikwelwandle khona lamanti atobuya tikwe ma Gibhithe, netincola, nebagibeli bemahhashi." Ngako ke Mosi welula sandla sakhe etikwelwandle, lwaphindze lwabuyela njengoba belinjalo nakusa. Ema Gibhithe emuka ekhatsi elwandle, Simakadze waholela ema Gibhithe ekhatsi nelwandle. Lamanti abuyela ambonya tincola ta Faro, nebagibeli bemahhashi, nayo yonkhe imphi yakhe lebeyilandzela letincola elwandle. Kute lowasindza. ²⁹ Kodvwa, ema Israyeli ahamba kulendzawo leyomile ekhatsi nelwandle. Lamanti bekalubondza lwabo ngesencele sabo nangasekudla sabo. ³⁰ Ngako Simakadze wasindzisa Israyeli esandleni sema Gibhithe ngalelo langa, phindze Israyeli wabona ema Gibhithe lafile emacentselweni elwandle. ³¹ Ngaleskhatsi Israyeli abona emandla lamakhulu Simakadze lawasebentise kuma Gibhithe, base bamunika ludvumo Simakadze, baphindze bametsemba Simakadze kanye nesisebenti sakhe Mosi.
