Iimpukane

20Waphinda *uNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis: “Vuka kusasa ngomso, uhlangabeze ukumkani xa aya emlanjeni, uthethe naye uthi: ‘UNdikhoyo uthi: “Khulula abantu bam, baye kundikhonza; 21okanye xa ungayenzi loo nto, ndiya kukuthumela ngamabubu eempukane, zikuhlasele wena namaphakathi akho, nabantu bakho. Ziya kuzalisa ezindlwini zakho, nakwezabantu bakho, nakuwo wonke umhlaba waseJiputa. 22Kodwa ke eGoshen, apho kukho abantu bam, aziyi kubakho, khon' ukuze uqonde ukuba mna Ndikhoyo ndikho apha kweli lizwe. 23Ndiya kubakhetha abantu bam kubantu bakho ngokubakhusela. Loo mqondiso ke úya kuzibonela ngokwakho kusasa kusile.” ’ ” 24Ngenene ke uNdikhoyo wathumela amabubu eempukane komkhulu nakwimizi yamaphakathi. Lonke elaseJiputa laba semngciphekweni wentshabalalo ngenxa yeempukane.

25Ukumkani wababiza ooMosis noAron, wathi kubo: “Hambani niye kubingelela kuThixo wenu, kodwa ningaphumi kweli lizwe.”

26UMosis waphendula wathi: “Ayinakulunga loo nto. Kaloku isilwanyana esiza kwenza ngaso idini likaNdikhoyo uThixo wethu, silisikizi kumaJiputa. Ngoko ke singathi, siyenzile loo nto phambi kwamaJiputa, asixulube ngamatye, sife. 27Kufuneka sithathe uhambo lweentsuku ezintathu, siye entlango, simenzele khona idini uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu ngokomlomo wakhe.”

28Ukumkani waqhuba wathi: “Ndiyanikhulula nihambe niye kubingelela kuNdikhoyo uThixo wenu entlango, kodwa ke ze ningayi kude kakhulu. Ndithandazele ke!”

29UMosis wathi: “Ndakuba ndimkile ke ndiya kumbongoza uNdikhoyo. Wona ke amabubu eempukane aya kumka aphele ngomso, angabi sakuhlupha wena namaphakathi akho, ngokunjalo nabantu bakho. Kambe ke, wena kumkani, ungaphindi usiqhathe ubalele abantu ukuya kubingelela kuNdikhoyo.”

30Ephumile ke uMosis kwakumkani, watarhuzisa kuNdikhoyo, 31waza wazisusa iimpukane ezo kukumkani, kumaphakathi, nasebantwini bakhe, akwasala nale inye. 32Nakwesi isihlandlo ukumkani waphinda waqaqadeka, wankaniza, akawakhulula amaSirayeli.

EYEMFUDUKO 9

Ukufa kwemfuyo

1*UNdikhoyo wabhekisa kuMosis wathi: “Yiya kukumkani waseJiputa, uthi kuye: ‘UNdikhoyo uThixo wamaHebhere uthethe wenjenje: “Khulula abantu bam, baye kundikhonza.” 2Ukuba uyala ukubakhulula, 3uNdikhoyo uya kukohlwaya ngokuthumela isibetho esoyikekayo kwimfuyo yakho: amahashe, iidonki, iinkamela, iinkomo, iigusha, neebhokhwe. 4Uya kuyikhetha imfuyo yamaSirayeli kweyamaJiputa. EyamaSirayeli imfuyo soze ife. 5Le nto ke iya kwenzeka ngomso.’ ”

6Ngengomso ke uNdikhoyo wenza njengoko wayethethile. Yonke imfuyo yamaJiputa yafa, kodwa kweyamaSirayeli zange kufe nob' ibe nye. 7Ukumkani wathuma amadoda aye kukhangela ukuba kube njani na kwimfuyo yamaSirayeli, waza waxelelwa ukuba akufanga nale inye. Naxa kunjalo wankaniza, akavuma ukuwakhulula amaSirayeli.

Amathumba

8*UNdikhoyo wabiza uMosis noAron, wathi kubo: “Yikhani uthuthu ngezandla, nize niye kwakumkani, uMosis aluphose phezulu ukumkani ebukele. 9Luya kuphephetheka njengothuli kulo lonke elaseJiputa. Luya kudala amathumba aya kubhidla abe zizilonda ebantwini nasezilwanyaneni kulo lonke elaseJiputa.” 10Baluthatha ke uthuthu eziko, baya kwakumkani, waza uMosis waluphosa phezulu ekho nokumkani. Lwaphephetheka ke, lwaza lwadala amathumba asuka abhidla aba zizilonda ebantwini nasezilwanyaneni. 11Ngenxa yamathumba abo abemilingo bona abazange babe nako ukumelana noMosis. Kaloku onke amaJiputa ayenamathumba. 12Kambe ke uNdikhoyo, njengoko wayetshilo kwangaphambili, wamenza waneenkani ukumkani, akavuma ukuphulaphula ooMosis noAron.

Isichotho

13*UNdikhoyo waphinda wathetha noMosis wathi: “Vuka kusasa ngomso, uye kukumkani, umxelele ukuba uNdikhoyo uThixo wamaHebhere uthi: ‘Khulula abantu bam, baye kundikhonza. 14Kwesi sihlandlo ndiya kukuhlabanisela ngezibetho, wena namaphakathi nabantu bakho, nitsho niqonde ukuba ehlabathini liphela akakho onjengam. 15Ukuba bendithanda ngesendisolule isandla sam, ndanitshayela ngesibetho, nanyamalala emhlabeni. 16Kodwa ke ndisaniyekile, kuba ndifuna ukunibonisa ubungangamsha bam, luze luthi nodumo lwam lunwenwe ehlabathini liphela. 17Njengokuba usazingca nje, ungavumi ukubakhulula abantu bam, 18uyabona ke, ngomso ngeli xesha ndiya kuthumela isitshu sesichoto esingazanga sabonwa nanini na ezimbalini zeJiputa. 19Ngoko ke thumela iye kuqokelelwa yonke imfuyo yakho, ivalelwe, khon' ukuze isinde. Kaloku ukufika kwaso yonke into ephandle, umntu kwanesilwanyana, iya kutshabalala.’ ” 20Ke kaloku loo maphakathi kakumkani ayenevuso ngenxa yomlomo kaNdikhoyo, athumela amakhoboka, yaqokelelwa imfuyo yawo, yavalelwa. 21Kambe ke lawo angazange alikhathalele ilizwi likaNdikhoyo awayeka emadlelweni amakhoboka kunye nemfuyo yawo.

22UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis: “Phakamisela isandla sakho esibhakabhakeni, ukuze kuwe isichotho kulo lonke elaseJiputa, sibethe abantu, izilwanyana, nako konke okuntshula emhlabeni.” 23UMosis ke wayiphakamisa induku yakhe, waza uNdikhoyo wayivulela imibane, iindudumo, nesichotho, zatsho kwakubi kwelaseJiputa. 24Wasithulula isichotho, yalenyeza imibane, zatsho ngenzwinini eyayingazange yabonwa ezimbalini zeJiputa. 25Eso sichotho sageqa konke okwakuphandle, abantu, izilwanyana, izityalo, kunye nemithi, kulo lonke elaseJiputa. 26Kanti ke eGoshen, umhlaba wamaSirayeli, zange sifike isichotho.

27Ukumkani ke wathumela buphuthu-phuthu, wathi makubizwe uMosis noAron, waza wathi kubo: “Ngoku ndiyavuma, ndonile mna nabantu bam; uNdikhoyo yena akaphazamanga. 28Khawuncede umbongoze uNdikhoyo. Kwanele ngoku – ezi ndudumo nemibane zisongamele! Ndiza kunikhulula ndingaphozisanga maseko!”

29Waphendula uMosis wathi: “Nje ukuba ndiphume apha esixekweni, ndiya kuzolulela kuNdikhoyo izandla zam, sitsho sithothe isiphango, sinqamke isichotho, khon' ukuze uqonde ukuba lelikaNdikhoyo ihlabathi liphela. 30Kambe ke wena namaphakathi akho ndiyanibona ukuba anikamqondi uNdikhoyo uThixo.”

31Umqhaphu nerhasi zavuthuluka zatshabalala. Kaloku irhasi yona kwakuxa ihlanzayo; umqhaphu ke wona kuxa udubulayo. 32Kanti ke ingqolowa nehabile zange zonakale, kuba zazisephantsi.

33Akumka ke uMosis kwakumkani, ephumile nasesixekweni, waphakamela kuNdikhoyo ngomthandazo. Ngoko nangoko sathotha isiphango, yapheza nemvula. 34Uthe ke ukumkani akubona ukuba sithothile isiphango nemvula inqamkile, waphindela ukona oku; kuba waphinda waqaqadeka, wankaniza, yena ngokunjalo namaphakathi akhe. 35Ewe, wankaniza wala ukuwakhulula amaSirayeli ngokomlomo kaNdikhoyo kuMosis.

EYEMFUDUKO 10

Iinkumbi

1*UNdikhoyo wathetha noMosis wathi: “Yiya kwakumkani. Kaloku yena namaphakathi akhe ndibaqaqadekisile, ukuze ndifumane ithuba lokwenza le miqondiso phakathi kwabo, 2nokuze nibe nako ukubalisela abantwana nabazukulwana benu. Niya kubanika ingcombolo yendlela endabonisa ngayo ubungangamsha bam kumaJiputa, nangemiqondiso endiyenzileyo phakathi kwawo, khon' ukuze nani niqonde ukuba ndinguNdikhoyo.”

3UMosis noAron ke baya kwakumkani, bathi kuye: “UNdikhoyo uThixo wamaHebhere uthi: ‘Koda kube nini ungavumi ukuzithoba kum? Khawubakhulule abantu bam, baye kundikhonza. 4Ukuba uyala, ngomso ndiza kuthumela iinkumbi emhlabeni wakho. 5Ziya kuba yinyambalala eya kuwugquma tu umhlaba wakho xa uwonke. Yonke into esinde kwesiya sichotho ziya kuyinqunqutha iphele tu! Nditsho nomthi lo wembala. 6Ziya kunyakazela ezindlwini zakho, kwezamaphakathi, nakuzo zonke izindlu zamaJiputa. Lowo iya kuba ngumbono ongazange walanywa ngooyihlo ngokunjalo nooyihlo-mkhulu ezimbalini zeli lizwe.’ ” Akuba etshilo waphuma, wemka kwakumkani.

7Amaphakathi kakumkani abhekisa kuye athi: “Yaz'ba kode kube nini na lo mfo elukhwembe-khwembe kuthi? Nceda, khulula aba bantu baye kukhonza uNdikhoyo uThixo wabo. Ngaba awukaqondi ukuba iJiputa itshabalele?”

8Babizwa ke ooMosis noAron, babuyela kukumkani, waza wathi kubo: “Hambani niye kukhonza uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. Kodwa ke ngoobani kanye abaza kuhamba?”

9UMosis wathi: “Kuza kuhamba abadala nabanci, oonyana neentombi, iigusha neenkomo. Kaloku kufuneka senzele uNdikhoyo itheko.”

10Kambe ke ukumkani waphendula wathi: “Ndifung' uNdikhoyo, soze ndinikhulule nihambe neentsapho zenu. Kakade, nithi andiniboni ukuba nindenzela iyelenqe? 11Hayi, makuhambe amadoda odwa aye kukhonza uNdikhoyo, njengoko nanitshilo kakade.” Baza ke bakhutshwa buphuthu-phuthu apho kwakumkani.

12Kwesi sithuba ke uNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis wathi: “Phakamisa ingalo yakho, uwangawangise kulo lonke elaseJiputa, ukuze kuvele iinkumbi eziya kunqunqutha zonke izityalo nayo yonke into eyasinda esichothweni.” 13UMosis ke wayiphakamisa induku yakhe, wawangawangisa ngayo, waza ke uNdikhoyo wathumela umoya wasempuma, wabhudla loo mini yonke nobusuku bayo. Kwathi kusisa kwaye sekunyakazela ziinkumbi kulo lonke elaseJiputa. 14Zafika zilibubu, zanyakazela kulo lonke elaseJiputa neziphaluka zalo. Ezingako zona zazingazange zabonwa ngaphambili, zaye zingasoze zibonwe nanini na! 15Zaba lukhoko olwawambathisa wonke umhlaba; kwatsho kwamnyama nje! Zanqunqutha zonke izityalo nemithi yeziqhamo, nako konke okwasinda mhla ngesiphango, zatsho akwasala nempunde le yegqabi eliluhlaza kulo lonke elaseJiputa.

16Ukumkani ke wababiza ngobungxamo ooMosis noAron, wathi kubo: “Ndimonile uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, ngokunjalo nani. 17Ndicela uxolo ngesono sam; ndiyanibongoza, okwesi isihlandlo khaninditarhuzisele kuNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, ayisuse le ntshabalalo!” 18Waphuma ke uMosis, waya kuthandaza uNdikhoyo. 19UNdikhoyo ke wathumela umoya wasentshona, wazitshayela zonke iinkumbi, waya kuzeyelisela kuLwandle oluBomvu, akwasala nob' ibe nye inkumbi kwelaseJiputa. 20Kambe ke uNdikhoyo wamqaqadekisa ukumkani waseJiputa, akavuma ukuwakhulula amaSirayeli.

Isithokothoko sobumnyama

21Waphinda *uNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis ukuba aphakamisele isandla sakhe esibhakabhakeni, ukuze kubekho isithokothoko sobumnyama kulo lonke elaseJiputa, esatsho baziimpumputela abantu. 22Wasiphakamisa ke uMosis isandla sakhe, kwaza kwakho isithokothoko sobumnyama esabetha kwathi thsu iintsuku ezintathu kulo lonke elaseJiputa. 23Obo bumnyama ke batsho amaJiputa akabi nako nokubonana oku, engenako nokuphuma endlwini ezo ntsuku zontathu. Kanti ke kwisiphaluka samaSirayeli kwakukhanya.

24Waza ke ukumkani wabiza uMosis, wathi kuye: “Ngoku ningahamba niye kukhonza uNdikhoyo kunye nabafazi nabantwana benu, nishiye imfuyo yenu kuphela.”

25UMosis waphendula wathi: “Kofuneka ke usinike izinto esobingelela ngazo, ngokunjalo nezokwenzela uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu amadini atshiswayo. 26Hayi bo! Asinakuyishiya imfuyo yethu; asinakushiya nob' ibe nye! Kaloku kufuneka sizikhethele ngokwethu leyo siza kuyisebenzisa xa sinqula uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu, ibe ke asinakuyazi esiza kubingelela ngayo side sifike apho siya khona.”

27Kambe ke uNdikhoyo wamqaqadekisa ukumkani, akavuma ukubakhulula. 28Ukumkani wamgxotha uMosis, wathi: “Phuma! Zichithe! Mandingaze ndiphinde ndikubone! Mhla ndakubona ndokucim' igama!”

29UMosis waphendula wathi: “Uthethe kakuhle! Soze uphinde undibone!”

EYEMFUDUKO 11

Isibetho sokugqibela

1*UNdikhoyo wabhekisa kuMosis wathi: “Uyabona ke, ukumkani lo ndawonye nabantu bakhe ndiya kumzisela isibetho sokugqibela. Emva kweso ke uya kunikhulula nihambe. Enyanisweni uya kunigxotha niphume niphele. 2Ngoku ke yitsho ibe ngulowo nalowo kumaSirayeli acele isiliva negolide kummelwane wakhe.” 3UNdikhoyo ke wawenza axatyiswa amaSirayeli ngamaJiputa. Ngenene uMosis wayehlonitshwe gqitha ngamaphakathi kakumkani ndawonye nawo onke amaJiputa.

4UMosis waxelela ukumkani wathi: “UNdikhoyo uthi: ‘Ndiya kuphuma ezinzulwini zobusuku, ndilijikeleze lonke elaseJiputa. 5Ndiya kuwathi qwaka afe onke amazibulo, kuqalela kwelokumkani ongqendeve ebhotwe, kuye kwelekhoboka elisebenzayo, kuye kuthi xhaxhe kwizibulo lemfuyo. 6ElaseJiputa liya kuhlahlamba ngesijwilikazi esingazange seviwa ngaphambili, esingayi kuze siviwe nanini na. 7Kanti ke wona amaSirayeli nemfuyo yawo sobe abe nawo nowempumlo umkrwelo.’ Ngaloo ndlela ke niya kutsho niqonde ukuba uNdikhoyo uyahlula phakathi kwamaJiputa namaSirayeli.”

8UMosis waqukumbela ngelithi: “Ke wona la maphakathi akho aya kuza kum akhahlele endibongoza esithi: ‘Thatha abantu bakho, niphume niphele kweli.’ Kwakuba njalo ke ndiya kunduluka.” Akukhov' ukutsho ke, uMosis waphuma efuthekile.

9Ke kaloku uNdikhoyo wayethethe noMosis wenjenje: “Ukumkani waseJiputa akayi kukuphulaphula, khon' ukuze ndiyandise imimangaliso yam phakathi kwamaJiputa.” 10Le mimangaliso ke uMosis noAron bayenza phambi kokumkani. Kambe ke uNdikhoyo wamqaqadekisa ukumkani waseJiputa, akavuma ukuwakhulula amaSirayeli emke eJiputa.
