6 ¹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Ngoku uya kubona oko ndiya kukwenza kuFaro: ngesandla esinamandla uya kubandulula; ngesandla esinamandla aya kubagxotha ezweni lakhe.”

²Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses, wathi kuye: “Ndim uBawo wakho. ³Ndabonakala kuAbraham, nakuIsake, nakuYakobi ndinguThixo uSomandla—uBawo wethu uSomandla—kodwa abandazanga ngegama lam, uBawo. ^a a v3 Ookhokho babethandaza ngeli gama (uGenesis 15:2)—kodwa ukulazi kukuliphila, yaye oko kuqala ngoku (6:7). Uninzi lweeBhayibhile zesiNgesi luliprinta lusithi ‘uNdikhoyo.’ ⁴Ndaba ndawuqinisa nomnqophiso wam nabo, ukuze ndibanike ilizwe lakwaKanan, ilizwe ababehlala kulo bengabasemzini. ⁵Kananjalo ndikuvile ukugula kwabantwana bakaSirayeli, abo bakhonziswa ngamaYiputa, ndaza ndawukhumbula umnqophiso wam. ⁶Yitsho koonyana bakaSirayeli: Ndim uBawo wenu. Ndiya kunikhupha phantsi kwemithwalo yaseYiputa, ndinihlangule ebukhobokeni babo, ndinikhulule ngengalo eyolukileyo nangezigwebo ezikhulu. ⁷Ndiya kuthabatha nina, nibe ngabantwana bam, ndibe nguBawo wenu. Niya kwazi ukuba ndim uBawo wenu, onikhululayo phantsi kwemithwalo yaseYiputa. ⁸Ndiya kunisa kwilizwe endalifungela, ndiphakamise isandla, ukuba ndilinike uAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi, ndaye ndilinike nina libe lilifa lenu. Ndim uBawo wenu.”

⁹Watsho ke uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli; kodwa abamphulaphulanga uMoses ngenxa yokutyhafa komoya wabo nangenxa yobukhoboka obulukhuni.

¹⁰Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses:

¹¹“Yiya, uthi kuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa abandulule abantwana bakaSirayeli baphume ezweni lakhe.”

¹²Kodwa uMoses wathetha phambi koBawo wethu, wathi: “Ukuba abantwana bakaSirayeli abandiphulaphuli, wondiphulaphula njani na uFaro, ndithetha kakubi nje?” ¹³Wathetha ke uBawo wethu kuMoses nakuAron, wabawisela umthetho ngabantwana bakaSirayeli nangokumkani waseYiputa uFaro, ukuba babakhuphe abantwana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa.

Umlibo kaLevi: UMoses noAron

¹⁴Zezi iintloko zezindlu zooyise: uRubhen, owamazibulo kaSirayeli; oonyana bakhe nguHanoki, noFalu, noHetseron, noKarmi. Le yimizalwane yakwaRubhen. ¹⁵Oonyana bakaSimon yaba nguYemuweli, noYamin, no-Ohadi, noYakin, noTsohare, kwakunye noSawule owazalwa ngumKananekazi. Ngabo abo imizalwane yakwaSimon. ¹⁶Oonyana bakaLevi ngokwezizukulwana zabo nguGershon, noKehati, noMerari. ULevi wadla ubomi iminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathathu anesixhenxe. ¹⁷Oonyana bakaGershon nguLibheni noShimehi, ngokwemizalwane yabo. ¹⁸Oonyana bakaKehati nguAmram, noItsare, noHebron, noUziyeli. UKehati wadla ubomi iminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathathu anesithathu. ¹⁹UMerari wona, oonyana bakhe nguMaheli noMushi. Le yimizalwane yakwaLevi ngokwezizukulwana zabo. ²⁰UAmram wazeka uYokebhede udade boyise; wamzalela uAron noMoses. Wadla ubomi iminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mathathu anesixhenxe. ²¹Oonyana bakaItsare nguKora, noNefege, noZikri. ²²Oonyana bakaUziyeli nguMishayeli, noElitsafan, noSitri. ²³UAron wazeka uElishebha, udade boNashon oyintombi ka-Aminadabhi; waza wamzalela uNadabhi, noAbhihu, noElazare, noItamare. ²⁴Oonyana bakaKora nguAsire, noElikana, noAbhiyasafu. Yiyo leyo imizalwane yamaKora. ²⁵Ke yena uElazare, unyana ka-Aron, wazeka enye kwiintombi zikaPutiyeli, yaza yamzalela uPinehasi. Zezi ke iintloko zezindlu zooyise zabaLevi, ngokwemizalwane yabo.

²⁶Ngabo aba ooAron noMoses awathi kubo uBawo wethu: “Bakhupheni abantwana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa ngokwemikhosi yabo.”

²⁷Ngabo aba babethetha noFaro ukumkani waseYiputa ukuze bakhuphe abantwana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa: nguMoses noAron.

²⁸Kwathi ngemini awathetha ngayo uBawo wethu kuMoses ezweni laseYiputa,

²⁹uBawo wethu wathi kuye: “Ndim uBawo wakho. Yitsho kuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa konke endikuxelela khona.”

³⁰Kodwa uMoses wathi phambi koBawo wethu: “Njengokuba ndithetha kakubi nje, wondiphulaphula njani na uFaro?”
