Kusele inhlupho eyodwa. Phakathi kwamabili wonke amazibulo eGibhithe azofa, kusukela esihlalweni sobukhosi kuya etsheni lokugaya, futhi kuzokhala isililo esingakaze sibe khona. Kodwa ngisho nenja ngeke ibakhonkothele abakwa-Israyeli — uBaba wethu wenza umehluko ucace. UMose uphuma phambi kukaFaro evutha ulaka.
11 1UBaba wethu wathi kuMose: “Kukhona inhlupho eyodwa enye engizoyehlisela phezu kukaFaro naphezu kweGibhithe. Emva kwalokho uyakunidedela ukuba niphume lapha; nxa esenza njalo, uyakunixosha nina nonke niphele nya. 2Tshela abantu: akuthi yilowo nalowo acele kumakhelwane wakhe, nabo bonke abesifazane kumakhelwane babo, izinto zesiliva nezegolide.”
3UBaba wethu wabapha abantu umusa emehlweni abaseGibhithe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uMose ngokwakhe wayemkhulu kakhulu ezweni laseGibhithe, emehlweni ezinceku zikaFaro nasemehlweni abantu.
4UMose wathi: “Usho kanje uBaba wethu: Cishe phakathi kwamabili ngizakudabula iGibhithe,
5“futhi lonke izibulo ezweni laseGibhithe liyakufa, kusukela ezibulweni likaFaro elihlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, kuze kube sezibulweni lencekukazi engasemva kwamatshe okugaya, nezibulo lonke lezinkomo. 6Kuyakuba khona ukukhala okukhulu ezweni lonke laseGibhithe, okungazange kube khona okunjengakho ngaphambili, okungasayikuba khona futhi. 7Kodwa nankunye inja ngeke ihhonge noyedwa wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, kungakhathaliseki ukuba ngumuntu noma yisilwane, ukuze nazi ukuthi uBaba wethu uyalahlukanisa iGibhithe no-Israyeli. 8Zonke lezi zinceku zakho ziyakwehlela kimi, zikhothame phambi kwami, zithi: ‘Hamba, wena nabo bonke abantu abakulandelayo.’ Emva kwalokho ngizaphuma.” Wayesesuka uMose kuFaro ethukuthele egane unwabu.
9UBaba wethu wathi kuMose: “UFaro ngeke akulalele, ukuze izimangaliso zami zande ezweni laseGibhithe.”
10UMose no-Aroni benza zonke lezi zimangaliso phambi kukaFaro, kodwa uBaba wethu wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, waze wenqaba ukubadedela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphume ezweni lakhe.
