¹ Ngako Simakadze watsi kuMose, ''Hamba kuFaro umtjele yena ,' Simakadze, Nkulunkulu wemaHebheru, usho loku: ''Yekela bantfu bami bahambe kute bayongikhonta mine.'' ² Kodvwa nangabe uyala kubayekela bahambe, uma ngabe ubagcinela emuva, ³ ngako sandla saSimakadze sitowuletsa sibhuku lesibi emfuyweni yakho lesensimini- emahhashi, timbongolo, emakamela, umhlambi wetinkhomo, nemhlambi wetimvu takho . ⁴ Kepha Simakadze utokwenta umehluko emkhatsini kwemfuyo yakaIsrael nemfuyo neyaseGibhithe, khona kutoba bete silwane lesisema Israyeli lesitakufa. ⁵ Simakadze wemisa sikhatsi; lasisho, kukusasa langitokwenta khona loku kulelive. ⁶ ''Simakadze wakwenta loku ngelilanga lelilandzelako: tonkhe tinkhomo taseGibhithe tafa, kepha kute tilwane tema Israyeli letafa, nasinye silwane. ⁷ Faro wahlola, bukani, kute ngisho nasinye silwane semaIsrayeli lesafa. Kepha inhlitiyo yakhe yabalukhuni, akaze wabayekela bantfu kutsi bahambe. ⁸ Wase Simakadze utsi kuMose naAroni, ''Tsatsani nigcwalise sandla umlotsa ebhayeleni. Wena, Mose, kufanele ujike imilotsa etulu emoyeni Faro abukile. ⁹ Itawubese seyiba lutfuli lolucosakele kulolonkhe lelive laseGibhitse. Itawubanga ematfumba netilondza kutsi kubhedvuke kubantfu netilwane kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe.'' ¹⁰ Ngako Mose naAroni batsatsa imilotsa ebhayeleni base bema embikwa Faro. Wase Mose ujika lemilotsa etulu emoyeni. Lemilotsa yabanga ematfumba netilondza kutsi kubhedvuke kubantfu netilwane. ¹¹ Bantfu bemilingo abatange bakhone kumphikisa Mose ngenca yematfumba, ngobe lamatfumba aba kubo nakuwo onkhe emaGibhithe. ¹² Simakadze wenta inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba lukhuni, ngako Faro azange abalalela bo Mose naAroni. Bekunjengobe Simakadze abeshito kuMose kutsi Faro utakwenta. ¹³ Ngako Simakadze watsi kuMose, Vuka ekuseni ngeluvivi, ume embikwaFaro, utsi kuye, 'Simakadze, unguNkulunkulu wemaHebheru, usho naku : "Yekela bantfu bami bahambe khona batokwati batongikhonta. ¹⁴ Kuleskhatsi lesi ngitotfumela sonkhe sibhuku kuwe cobo lwakho, etisebentini takho nakubantfu bakho. Ngitokwenta loku khona utowati kutsi kute namunye lofanana nami emhlabeni wonkhe. ¹⁵ Kungunyalo ngabe sengifinyelele ngesandla sami ngakuhlasela wena nesive sakho ngesifo, futsi ngabe wesuswa kulelive. ¹⁶ Kodvwa ngunasi sizatfu lesangenta ngakuvumela kutsi uphile: Kute ngitekukhombisa emandla ami, khona libito lami litomenyetelwa emhlabeni. ¹⁷ Solo usatiphakamisa wena umelene nebantfu bami ngalokungabayekeli bahambe. ¹⁸ Lalela! kusasa ngalesikhatsi ngitoletsa sangcotfo lesimatima kakhulu, lesingakate sabonwa eGibhithe kusukela ngelilanga lesacala ngalo kute kube ngunyalo. ¹⁹ Manje ke, tfumela emadvodza ubutsise imfuyo yakho nako konkhe lokusemasimini kuye endzaweni lephephile. Yonkhe indvodza nesilwane lesi semasimini lokungakabuyiswa ekhaya- lesangcotfo sitokwehlela kuko, futsi kutokufa.''' ²⁰ Base labo bebatisebenti taFaro letatikholelwa kulomlayeto waSimakadze taphutfuma tabuyisa tigcili tato nemfuyo etindlini. ²¹ Kodwa labo labangawutsatsanga umlayeto waSimakadze ngekutimisela bashiya tigcili tabo nemfuyo emasimini. ²² Ngako Simakadze watsi kuMose, ''Yelulela sandla sakho esibhakabhakeni kute kutoba nesangcotfo kulo lonkhe lelive laseGibhithe, kubantfu nase tilwaneni, nakuso sonkhe silimo sensimi eveni laseGibhithe.'' ²³ Mose welulela indvuku yakhe wayibhekisa esibhakabhakeni, Simakadze watfumela kudvuma, sangcotfo, nembane emhlabatsini. Wase futsi unisa sagcotfo kulelive laseGibhithe. ²⁴ Ngako kwaba nesangcotfo nembane lohlangene nesangcotfo, kamatima, lesingakate saba khona kulolonkhe laseGibhitse solo laba live. ²⁵ Kulo lonkhe live laseGibhithe, lesangcotfo sashaya konkhe bekusemasimini, kufaka bantfu netilwane. Sacotfula tonkhe tilimo emasimini saphula tonkhe tihlahla. ²⁶ Kuphela esifundzeni sase Gosheni, labekuhlala khona ema Israyeli, labekute khona sangcotfo. ²⁷ Ngako Faro watfumela emadvodza kutsi abita boMose naAroni . Watsi kubo,'' Ngonile kulesikhatsi. Simakadze ulungile, mine nebantfu bami sikhohlakele. ²⁸ Thandaza kuSimakadze, ngobe lelitulu lelidvuma ngemandla nalesangcotfo sekukhulu. Ngitaniyekela nihambe, ngeke nisahlala lapha.'' ²⁹ Mose watsi kuye, ''masinyane nje nangishiya lelidolobha, Ngitawuphakamisela tandla tami kuSimakadze. Lesangcotfo sitakuma, futsi ngeke kusaba nesangcotfo. Ngaleyondlela nitokwati kutsi umhlaba waSimakadze. ³⁰ Kodvwa wena netisebenti takho, Ngiyati kutsi nisengakamhloniphi Simakadze Nkulunkulu.'' ³¹ Ngaleso skhatsi iflekisi nebhali kwamoshakala, ngobe ibhali tindlebe tayo besetilunga, iflekisi yase ishakata. ³² Kodvwa kolo nesipelite akuzange kulimale ngobe bekuhlanyelwe muva. ³³ Uma Mose asashiyile Faro nelidolobha, Waphakamisa tandla takhe kuSimakadze; kudvuma nesangcotfo kwema , nemvula yema kuna. ³⁴ Watsi Faro nabona kutsi imvula, sangcotfo, nekudvuma sekumile, wona futsi nenhlitiyo yakhe wayenta yaba lukhuni, kanye netisebenti takhe. ³⁵ Inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba likhuni, waphindze wangawayekeli emaIsrayeli kutsi ahambe, njengobe Simakadze abekhulumile ngesandla saMose.
