Pukaana 10
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hele aku oe iloko io Parao la, no ke mea, ua hoopaakiki au i kona naau, a me ka naau o kana poe kauwa, i hoike aku ai au i keia mau hoailona o'u iwaena o lakou;
Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Hamba kuFaro, ngoba sengiyenze yaba lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe lezinhliziyo zezikhulu zakhe ukuze ngenze izimanga zami kubo
2 A i hai aku ai oe maloko o na pepeiao o kau keiki, a o ke keiki a kau keiki i na mea a'u i hana'i ma Aigupita, a me ko'u mau hoailona a'u i hana aku ai ia lakou, i ike ai oukou, owau no Iehova.
ukuze lilandisele abantwabenu labazukulu benu ukuthi ngabahlukuluza njani abeGibhithe lokuthi ngabenzela izimanga, khona lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
3 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona iloko io Parao la, i aku la ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na Hebera, penei, Pehea la ka loihi o kou hoohaahaa ole ana ia oe iho imua o'u? E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i hookauwa mai lakou na'u.
Ngakho oMosi lo-Aroni baya kuFaro bathi kuye, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru: ‘Uzakwala kuze kube nini ukuzithoba phambi kwami? Yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bayengikhonza.
4 Aka, ina e hoole oe, aole e hookuu mai i ko'u poe kanaka, aia hoi, i ka la apopo, e halihali mai no wau i na uhini ma kou aina.
Nxa usala ukuthi bahambe ngizaletha intethe elizweni lakho kusasa.
5 A e uhi mai auanei lakou maluna o ka aina, aole e ikea ka aina ke nana aku: a e ai iho no lakou i ke koena o na mea i waihoia na oukou e ka huahekili: a e ai iho hoi lakou i na laau a pau e ulu ana no oukou ma ke kula.
Zizakwembesa wonke umhlabathi usale ungasabonakali. Zizakudla ziphundle du lalokho okuncinyane okwatshiywa yisiqhotho kanye lezihlahla zonke ezikhula egangeni.
6 E hoopiha hoi lakou i na hale ou, a me na hale o kau poe kauwa a pau, a me na hale o ko Aigupita a pau: aole i ike kou poe makua i keia mea, aole hoi na makua o kou poe makua, mai ka wa i noho mai ai lakou ma ka honua, a hiki i keia la, Haliu ae la ia, a hele aku la mai o Parao aku.
Zizagcwala ezindlini zakho lezezikhulu zakho zonke lezamaGibhithe, into oyihlo labokhokho bakho abangazange bayibone selokhu bahlala kulelilizwe kuze kube manje.’” Khonapho uMosi wabe efulathela esuka kuFaro.
7 Olelo aku la na kauwa a Parao ia ia, Pehea la ka loihi o ka hoohihia ana o keia kanaka ia kakou? E hookuu aku i ua poe kanaka la, i hookauwa aku ai lakou na Iehova na ko lakou Akua. Aole anei oe i ike i neia manawa, ua oki loa o Aigupita nei?
Izikhulu zikaFaro zathi kuye, “Koze kube nini na indoda le ilokhu iyisifu kithi? Yekela abantu bahambe bayekhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo. Ulokhu ungaboni yini ukuthi ilizwe leGibhithe selichithekile?”
8 Ua lawe hou ia aku o Mose laua o Aarona io Parao la, i mai la ia ia laua, E hele oukou, e hookauwa na Iehova na ko oukou Akua. Owai, owai hoi ka poe hele?
UMosi lo-Aroni basebebuyiswa kuFaro. Wathi, “Hambani liyokhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Kanti konje ngobani abahambayo?”
9 I aku la o Mose, E hele pu no makou me ko makou poe opiopio a me ko makou poe elemakule, me na keikikane a me na kaikamahine a makou, me ka makou hipa, a me ka makou bipi makou e hele aku ai: no ka mea, he ahaaina ka makou no Iehova.
UMosi waphendula wathi, “Sizahamba labatsha labadala bethu; lamadodana lamadodakazi ethu, lemihlambi yethu ngoba kumele senzele uThixo umkhosi.”
10 I mai la kela ia laua, o Iehova kekahi pu me oukou, ke hookuu aku au ia oukou, e hele me ka oukou poe keiki. E malama ia olua, no ka mea, aia no ka hewa ma ko olua alo.
UFaro wathi, “uThixo kabe lani, kumbe likhumbula ukuthi ngizaliyekela lihambe labesifazane labantwana! Kusobala ukuthi liqonde ukwenza okubi.
11 Aole pela: o oukou na kanaka ke hele, e hookauwa aku na Iehova; no ka mea, oia ka oukou mea i imi mai nei. A ua kipakuia mai laua, mai ke alo mai o Parao.
Hatshi! Akuhambe amadoda kuphela; amkhonze uThixo ngoba phela yikho ebelivele likukhalela.” Ngakho uMosi lo-Aroni basebexotshwa phambi kukaFaro.
12 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E o aku kou lima, maluna o ka aina o Aigupita no na uhini, i hele mai ai lakou maluna o ka aina o Aigupita, a e ai iho i na laauikiai a pau o ka aina, i na mea a pau i waihoia e ka huahekili.
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yelula isandla sakho phezu kweGibhithe ukuze kwehle isikhongwane, izintethe, kulolonke ilizwe zidle zigugude konke okukhulayo emangweni, konke lokho okwatshiywa yisiqhotho.”
13 O aku la o Mose i kona kookoo maluna o ka aina o Aigupita, a huai mai la o Iehova i ka makani mai ka hikina mai maluna o ka aina, ia la a po, ia po a ao; a i kakahiaka, hoopuka mai la ua makani hikina la i na uhini.
UMosi wayiphakamisa intonga yakhe phezu kweGibhithe, uThixo wasequbula umoya wempumalanga wavunguza elizweni lonke ngalelolanga lobusuku bakhona. Ekuseni umoya waletha izintethe.
14 Lele ae la na uhini maluna o ka aina a pau o Aigupita, a kau iho la ma na mokuna a pau o Aigupita: he ino loa; aohe uhini mamua e like ai, aole hoi e hiki mai ana mahope o lakou na mea e like ai.
Zalihlasela lonke elaseGibhithe zagcwala silikici kuzozonke izindawo zelizwe ngobunengi bazo. Kwakungakaze kube lesikhongwane esingako njalo singeyikufa saba khona njalo lanini.
15 No ka mea, uhi paapu iho la lakou i ka aina a pau, a poeleele hoi ka aina; ai iho la lakou i na laauikiai a pau o ka aina, a me ka hua a pau o na laau, a ka huahekili i waino mai ai; aole i koe kekahi mea uliuli ma na laau, a ma na laauikiai o ke kula, ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita.
Intethe lezo zavala umhlabathi waba mnyama bhuqe. Zatshaya zabhuqa konke okwakusele ngesikhathi sesiqhotho, konke okwakukhula emangweni kanye lezithelo zezihlahla. Akusalanga lutho oluluhlaza ezihlahleni loba isilimo bani kulolonke ilizwe laseGibhithe.
16 Alaila, wikiwiki ae la o Parao e hea mai ia Mose laua o Aarona, i mai la, Ua hana hewa wau ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, a ia olua no hoi.
UFaro waphanga wabiza uMosi lo-Aroni wathi, “Ngonile kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lakini.
17 Ke noi aku nei au, e kala mai no hoi olua i keia hewa hookahi ana no, a e nonoi aku ia Iehova ike oukou Akua, i lawe aku ai ia i keia make wale no, mai o'u aku nei.
Manje-ke ngixolelani njalo libuye likhuleke kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ukuthi asuse loluhlupho olubhubhisayo.”
18 Hele aku la ia mai o Parao aku, a nonoi aku la ia Iehova.
UMosi wasesuka kuFaro wayakhuleka kuThixo.
19 Huai hou mai la o Iehova i makani komohana ikaika, a lawe aku la ia i na uhini, a hoopaa iho la ia lakou iloko o ke Kaiula. Aohe uhini hookahi i koe ma ka aina a pau i Aigupita.
UThixo wasewuguqula umoya waphephetha uvelela entshonalanga ulamandla. Wazidudula izintethe wazitshovela oLwandle Olubomvu. Akusalanga ntethe layinye loba ngaphi eGibhithe.
20 Aka, hoopaakiki iho la o Iehova i ko Parao naau, aole ia hookuu aku i na mamo a Iseraela.
Kodwa uThixo wayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kaze abavumela abako-Israyeli ukuthi bahambe.
21 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E o aku kou lima i ka lani, i kau mai ka poeleele maluna o ka aina o Aigupita, i aaki ka pouli.
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yelulela isandla sakho emkhathini ukwenzela ukuthi umnyama wembese iGibhithe lonke, umnyama obambekayo.”
22 O aku la no ko Mose lima i ka lani, a pouli loa iho la ka aina a pau o Aigupita i na la ekolu.
Ngakho uMosi waseselulela isandla sakhe phezulu, kwathi gubu umnyama okhasa phansi, walembesa lonke elaseGibhithe okwensuku ezintathu.
23 Aole loa lakou i ike i kekahi i kekahi, aole hoi i ala ae kekahi mai kona wahi ae, i na la ekolu; aka, o na mamo a pau a Iseraela, he malamalama ko lakou iloko o ko lakou mau hale.
Kakho owayesabona omunye njalo kakho owayengasuka endaweni yakhe okwalezonsuku ezintathu. Kodwa ama-Israyeli ayelakho ukukhanya ezindaweni ayehlala kuzo.
24 Hea mai la o Parao ia Mose, i mai la, Ou haele oukou, e hookauwa aku na Iehova; aka, o ka oukou hipa, a me ka oukou bipi, e waiho ia lakou: e hele pu no hoi ka oukou poe keiki.
UFaro wasebiza uMosi wathi, “Hambani liyekhonza uThixo. Ngitsho labesifazane benu labantwana hambani labo; litshiye kuphela imihlambi yezifuyo zenu.”
25 I aku la o Mose, E haawi mai hoi iloko o ko makou mau lima, i na mohai, a me na mohai kuni, i kanmaha aku ai makou na Iehova na ko makou Akua.
Kodwa uMosi wathi, “Kumele usivumele ukuthi siyokwenza imihlatshelo leminikelo yokutshiswa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.
26 E hele pu no hoi ka makou holoholona, aole e waihoia kekahi maanei; no ka mea, e lawe ana makou i na mea o lakou e malama'i ia Iehova i ko makou Akua: aole nae makou e ike i na mea o lakou ka makou e malama ai ia Iehova, a hiki aku makou ilaila.
Izifuyo zethu lazo zimele zihambe lathi kungasali lasinye. Kumele siyosebenzisa ezinye zazo ekukhonzeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu. Phela kasisoze sazi ukuthi sizasebenzisa siphi isifuyo ukukhonza uThixo size sifike khonale.”
27 Aka, hoopaakiki mai la o Iehova i ka naau o Parao, aole no ia i hookuu ia lakou.
Kodwa uThixo wayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kaze afuna ukubayekela bahambe.
28 I mai la o Parao ia ia, E hele aku oe pela, mai o'u aku nei, e malama ia oe iho, aole e ike hou mai i ko'u maka, no ka mea, i ka la au e nana hou mai ai i ko'u maka, e make oe.
UFaro wathi kuMosi, “Suka phambi kwami! Phinde ngikubone futhi. Mhla wangibona futhi ufile wena.”
29 I aku la o Mose ia ia, Ua olelo pono mai oe; aole au e ike hou aku i kou maka.
UMosi waphendula wathi, “Akube njengokuba usitsho. Phinde ungibone njalo lapha.”
