Eyemfuduko 9 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

9 ¹Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yiya kuFaro uthi kuye: ‘Utsho uBawo wamaHebhere ukuthi: “Bandulule abantu bam baye kundinqula. ²Kaloku ukuba uthe akwavuma ukubandulula, waqhubela phambili ukubabamba, ³isandla sikaBawo wethu siya kuba phezu kwemfuyo yakho esendle: amahashe, namaesile, neenkamela, neenkomo, nempahla emfutshane—isibetho esinzima kunene. ⁴Kodwa uBawo wethu uya kwahlula imfuyo yakwaSirayeli kweyaseYiputa, ukuze kungafi nanye kweyakwaSirayeli.”’” ⁵UBawo wethu wamisa ixesha, wathi: “Ngomso uBawo wethu uya kwenza le nto ezweni.”

⁶Ngengomso uBawo wethu wayenza le nto: yafa yonke imfuyo yaseYiputa, kodwa kweyakwaSirayeli—akufanga nanye. ⁷UFaro wathumela ukuya kuhlola: akufanga nanye kwizinto zakwaSirayeli. Kodwa yahlala ilukhuni intliziyo kaFaro, akabandulula abantu.

Amathumba Kuwo Onke AmaYiputa

⁸Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses noAron: “Thabathani izandla ezizele ngomlotha weziko, uMoses awusasaze ezulwini phambi koFaro. ⁹Woba luthuli oluncinane phezu kwelizwe lonke laseYiputa, luphume lube ngamathumba ayintlungu ebantwini nasezinkomeni kulo lonke laseYiputa.”

¹⁰Bawuthabatha umlotha weziko, bema phambi koFaro. UMoses wawusasa ezulwini, aphuma ke amathumba, eyintlungu ebantwini nasezinkomeni. ¹¹Zazingenako izazi ukuma phambi koMoses, kuba amathumba ayephezu kwazo naphezu kwamaYiputa onke. ¹²Kodwa uBawo wethu wayenza lukhuni intliziyo kaFaro; akabaphulaphula, njengoko uBawo wethu wayetshilo kuMoses.

Isilumkiso Phambi Kwesaqhwithi

¹³Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Vuka kusasa, ume phambi koFaro, uthi kuye: ‘Utsho uBawo wamaHebhere ukuthi: “Bandulule abantu bam baye kundinqula. ¹⁴Ngesi sihlandlo ndithumela zonke izibetho zam kuwe, nakubaphathi bakho, nakubantu bakho, ukuze wazi ukuba akukho namnye onjengam emhlabeni wonke. ¹⁵Ngoku ngendisiphakamisile isandla sam, ndakubetha wena nabantu bakho ngesibetho, ndanicima emhlabeni. ¹⁶Kodwa ndikuphakamisile ukuze ndikubonise amandla am, nokuze ndilivakalise igama lam emhlabeni wonke. ^a a v16 UPawulos ulicaphula eli vesi kweyabaseRoma 9:17 — kwanenkani kaFaro yawancedisa amacebo kaBawo wethu okwenza ukuba igama lakhe laziwe emhlabeni wonke. ¹⁷Usazimisa ngokuchasene nabantu bam, usala ukubandulula. ¹⁸Ngomso ngeli xesha ndiya kunisa isichotho esinzima kangangokuba akuzange kubekho esinjengaso eYiputa, kususela kwasekusekweni kwayo kude kube ngoku. ¹⁹Ngoko ke thumela: isa imfuyo yakho nako konke onako esendle endaweni ekhuselekileyo, kuba isichotho siya kwehlela phezu kwabantu bonke nezinto zonke eziseleyo esendle, ezingangeniswanga ngaphakathi, zife.”’”

²⁰Abo babephakathi kwabaphathi bakaFaro boyika ilizwi likaBawo wethu bazingxamisela endlwini izicaka zabo nemfuyo yabo, ²¹kodwa lowo ubelityeshela ilizwi likaBawo wethu wazishiya esendle izicaka zakhe nemfuyo yakhe.

²²Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuMoses: “Yolulela isandla sakho ezulwini, kwehle isichotho phezu kwelizwe lonke laseYiputa—phezu kwabantu, nezinto, nayo yonke imifuno yasendle, kulo lonke laseYiputa.”

²³UMoses wayolulela intonga yakhe ezulwini, waza uBawo wethu wathumela iindudumo nesichotho, wehla umlilo waya emhlabeni. UBawo wethu wanisa isichotho phezu kwelizwe laseYiputa. ²⁴Kwabakho isichotho, nomlilo obengezela rhoqo phakathi kwesichotho, sinzima kangangokuba akuzange kubekho into enjengayo ezweni lonke laseYiputa, selokweli laba luhlanga. ²⁵Kulo lonke laseYiputa isichotho sabetha yonke into esendle, abantu kwakunye nezinto; sabetha yonke imifuno yasendle, saphohloza yonke imithi yasendle. ²⁶Kuphela sekwelaseGoshen, apho babehleli khona abantu bakwaSirayeli, apho kwakungekho sichotho.

²⁷UFaro wathumela ukuya kubiza uMoses noAron, wathi: “Ngesi sihlandlo ndonile. UThixo unobulungisa; mna nabantu bam singabenzi bobubi. ²⁸Thandazani kuBawo wenu—seziyanele iindudumo nesichotho zikaThixo. Ndiya kunindulula; ningabi saphinda nilibazise.”

²⁹UMoses wathi kuye: “Ndakuba ndiphumile emzini, ndiya kuzolulela izandla zam kuBawo wethu. Ziya kupheza iindudumo, siphele nesichotho, ukuze wazi ukuba umhlaba ngokaBawo wethu. ³⁰Kodwa ke wena nabaphathi bakho, ndiyazi ukuba anikamoyiki uBawo wethu.”

³¹(Iflakisi nerhasi zonakala, kuba irhasi yayisele inezikhwebu, iflakisi yona iyintyatyambo. ³²Kodwa ingqolowa nerhasi emnyama azonakalanga, kuba zivuthwa kamva.). ³³UMoses wemka kuFaro, waphuma emzini, wazolulela izandla zakhe kuBawo wethu. Zaphela iindudumo nesichotho, ayaba saphalala imvula emhlabeni. ³⁴Uthe uFaro akubona ukuba imvula, nesichotho, neendudumo zipheliwe, waphinda wona, wayenza lukhuni intliziyo yakhe—yena nabaphathi bakhe. ³⁵Yaba lukhuni ke intliziyo kaFaro; akabandulula amaSirayeli, njengoko wayetshilo uBawo wethu ngoMoses.
