Kodwa akukho nanja iya kuvungamela amaSirayeli — uBawo wethu wenza umahluko ucace. UMoses umka kuFaro evutha ngumsindo.
11 1Wathi uBawo wethu kuMoses: “Ndiza kuzisa esinye isibetho phezu koFaro naphezu kweYiputa. Emva koko uya kunindulula apha; xa esenjenjalo, uya kunigxotha niphele nje. 2Yithi kubantu: elowo makacele kummelwane wakhe, nalowo makacele kummelwane wakhe, impahla yesilivere neyegolide.”
3UBawo wethu wabanika abantu ukubabalwa emehlweni amaYiputa. Ngaphezu koko, uMoses ngokwakhe wayemkhulu kakhulu ezweni laseYiputa, emehlweni abakhonzi bakaFaro nawabantu.
4Wathi uMoses: “Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Malunga nobusuku obuphakathi ndiya kucanda eYiputa,
5 size sife sonke isibulo ezweni laseYiputa, kuthabathele kwisibulo likaFaro ohleli etroneni yakhe, kuse kwisibulo lomkhonzazana osemva kwamatye okusila, namazibulo onke eenkomo. 6Isililo esikhulu siya kuzalisa lonke ilizwe laseYiputa, esingazanga sibekho ngaphambili nesingasayi kuphinda sibekho. 7Kodwa akukho nanja iya kugcuma kubo nabanye boonyana bakaSirayeli, nokuba ngumntu nokuba yinkomo, ukuze nazi ukuba uBawo wethu uyawahlula amaYiputa kumaSirayeli. 8Bonke aba bakhonzi bakho baya kuhla beze kum, baqubude phambi kwam, bathi: ‘Hamba, wena nabantu bonke abakulandelayo.’ Emva koko ndiya kuphuma.” Wandula uMoses ukumka kuFaro evutha ngumsindo.
9Wathi uBawo wethu kuMoses: “UFaro akayi kuniphulaphula, ukuze zande izimanga zam ezweni laseYiputa.”
