10 ¹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yiya kuFaro, kuba ndiyenze lukhuni intliziyo yakhe nentliziyo zabakhonzi bakhe, ukuze ndibeke imiqondiso yam phakathi kwabo. ²Baxelele unyana wakho nonyana wonyana wakho indlela endafeketha ngayo ngamaYiputa, nokubeka kwam imiqondiso yam phakathi kwabo, ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguBawo wenu.”

³Baya ke uMoses noAron kuFaro, bathi: “Utsho oku uBawo wamaHebhere: ‘Koda kube nini na usala ukuzithoba phambi kwam? Bandulule abantu bam baye kundikhonza.’ ⁴Kaloku, xa ungavumi ukubakhulula abantu bam, ngomso ndiya kuzisa iinkumbi elizweni lakho. ⁵Ziya kubugubungela ubuso belizwe, lingabonakali umhlaba, zidle oko nakushiyelwa sisichotho, zidle nemithi yonke emilela nina entsimini. ⁶Ziya kuzalisa izindlu zakho, nezabakhonzi bakho, nezamaYiputa onke—into abangazanga bayibone ooyihlo nooyihlomkhulu, kususela kwimini ababa semhlabeni ngayo kude kube ngoku.” Waza wajika waphuma kuFaro.

⁷Bathi abathetheli bakaFaro: “Koda kube nini na lo mntu engumgibe kuthi? Bandulule abantu baye kukhonza uThixo wabo. Akukazi na ukuba iYiputa yonakele?”

⁸Babuyiselwa kuFaro uMoses noAron. Wathi: “Hambani, niye kukhonza uThixo. Kodwa ngoobani na abaya kuhamba?”

⁹Wathi uMoses: “Siya kuhamba nabaselula nabadala bethu; oonyana neentombi, impahla emfutshane neenkomo—siya kuhamba, kuba sinomthendeleko kuBawo wethu.”

¹⁰Wathi kubo: “Wanga uThixo angaba nani—ngokungathi ndinganindulula nina nabantwana benu abancinane! Khangelani, ninobubi phambi kwenu. ¹¹Hayi! Hambani nina madoda niye kukhonza uThixo, kuba yiloo nto niyifunayo.” Wabagxotha ke uFaro ebusweni bakhe.

¹²Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yolula isandla sakho phezu kweYiputa, ukuze kunyuke iinkumbi phezu kweYiputa, zidle yonke imifuno yelizwe eshiywe sisichotho.”

¹³Wayolula uMoses intonga yakhe phezu kweYiputa, waza uBawo wethu wazisa umoya wasempumalanga elizweni imini yonke nobusuku bonke; kwathi kwakusa wawuthwele iinkumbi. ¹⁴Zenyuka iinkumbi phezu kweYiputa yonke, zazinza kuyo yonke imida yayo—zinzima kunene, ekungazanga kubekho ezinjengazo ngaphambili, kungayi kuphinda kubekho ezinjengazo. ¹⁵Zabugubungela bonke ubuso belizwe, laba mnyama, zadla yonke imifuno yelizwe, nazo zonke iziqhamo zemithi ezasindiswa sisichotho—akwasala luhlaza emthini nasemfunweni wasentsimini kwilizwe lonke laseYiputa. ¹⁶Wakhawuleza ke uFaro wababiza ooMoses noAron, esithi: “Ndonile kuThixo wenu nakuni. ¹⁷Khawusixolele ngoku isono sam esi sihlandlo sodwa, uthandaze kuThixo wenu ukuba asuse oku kufa kuphela kum.”

¹⁸Waphuma ke uMoses kuFaro, wathandaza kuBawo wethu. ¹⁹Waza uBawo wethu waguqula umoya waba ngumoya onamandla kakhulu wasentshonalanga, owaziphakamisayo iinkumbi, waziqhubela eLwandle oluBomvu; akwasala nankumbi inye kuyo yonke imida yaseYiputa. ²⁰Kodwa uBawo wethu wayenza lukhuni intliziyo kaFaro, akabandulula oonyana bakaSirayeli.

Iimini Ezintathu Zobumnyama

²¹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yolula isandla sakho usingise ezulwini, ukuze ubumnyama bugubungele ilizwe laseYiputa—ubumnyama obushinyeneyo obunokuphatheka.”

²²Wayolula uMoses isandla sakhe esingisa ezulwini; baza ubumnyama obushinyeneyo bagubungela ilizwe lonke laseYiputa iimini ezintathu. ²³Akwabakho bani wambona omnye, akwabakho bani wasuka endaweni yakhe iimini ezintathu; kodwa bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli babenokukhanya emakhayeni abo.

²⁴Wambiza uFaro uMoses, wathi: “Hambani, niye kukhonza uThixo wenu. Nabantwana benu banganaba bahambe—kodwa impahla yenu emfutshane neenkomo zenu niziyekele ngasemva.”

²⁵Wathi uMoses: “Wena umelwe usinike nemibingelelo namadini anyukayo, ukuze sibingelele kuBawo wethu. ²⁶Imfuyo yethu imelwe ihambe nathi—akuyi kusala nophuphu lunye. Siya kuthabatha kuyo ukuze sikhonze uBawo wethu; asisayi kwazi into esiya kukhonza ngayo side sifike khona.”

²⁷Kodwa uBawo wethu wayenza lukhuni intliziyo kaFaro, akavuma ukubandulula. ²⁸Wathi kuye uFaro: “Suka kum! Uze ulumke, ungaze uphinde ubukhangele ubuso bam; kuba mhla ububonayo ubuso bam, wofa.”

²⁹Wathi uMoses: “Utshilo ngokufaneleyo. Andisayi kuphinda ndibubone ubuso bakho.”
