Uhlaziyo lwedinga likaThixo kumaSirayeli
1Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Úya kukubona ngoku endiya kukwenza kuFaro, kuba ùya kubandulula, abagxothe ezweni lakhe ngesandla esithe nkqi.
2Wathetha uThixo kuMoses, wathi kuye, NdinguYehova: 3ndabonakala kuAbraham nakuIsake nakuYakobi ngelokuba nguThixo uSomandla; ke ngegama lam lokuba nguYehova àndazekanga kubo. 4Kananjalo ndawumisa nabo umnqophiso wam wokuba ndibanike ilizwe lakwaKanan, ilizwe lokuphambukela kwabo ábaphambukela kulo. 5Kananjalo ndikuvile mna ukugula koonyana bakaSirayeli abakhonziswayo ngamaYiputa, ndawukhumbula umnqophiso wam. 6Yithi ngoko koonyana bakaSirayeli, ndinguYehova: ndiya kunikhupha phantsi kwemithwalo yamaYiputa, ndinihlangule enkonzweni yawo, ndinihlawulele, ndinikhulule ngengalo eyolukileyo, nangezigwebo ezikhulu; 7ndinithàbathe nibe ngabantu bam, ndibe nguThixo wenu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu, onikhuphayo phantsi kwemithwalo yamaYiputa; 8ndiningènise ezweni endaphakamisa isandla sam ngalo, ukuba ndilinike uAbraham noIsake noYakobi; ndiya kulinika nina, libe lilifa: ndinguYehova. 9Watsho ke uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli; abamphulaphulanga uMoses, ngenxa yokukhathazeka, nangenxa yomsebenzi onzima.
10Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, wathi, 11Yiya uthethe kuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, abandulule oonyana bakaSirayeli, baphume ezweni lakhe. 12UMoses wathetha phambi koYehova, wathi, Yabona, oonyana bakaSirayeli abandiphulaphulanga; wòthini na ke uFaro ukundiphulaphula, ndingomlomo ungalukanga nje? 13Wathetha uYehova kuMoses nakuAron, wabawisela umthetho oonyana bakaSirayeli, nakuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, ukuba babakhuphe oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa.
