< Pukaana 7 >

1 I MAI la o Iehova ia Mose, e nana hoi, ua hoonoho wau ia oe i akua no Parao, a o Aarona kou kaikuaana, oia no auanei kou kaula.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Bona, ngikwenze waba njengoNkulunkulu kuFaro; loAroni umnewenu uzakuba ngumprofethi wakho.
2 O na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hai aku ai: a o Aarona kou kaikuaana ke olelo aku ia Parao, e hoouna aku ia i na mamo a Iseraela mai kona aina aku.
Wena uzakhuluma konke engikulaya khona; loAroni umnewenu uzakhuluma kuFaro ukuthi ayekele abantwana bakoIsrayeli baphume elizweni lakhe.
3 A e hoopaakiki auanei au i ka naau o Parao, a e hana no au i ko'u mau ouli a nui, a me ko'u mau mea mana ma ka aina o Aigupita.
Kodwa mina ngizakwenza inhliziyo kaFaro ibe lukhuni, ngandise izibonakaliso zami lezimangaliso zami elizweni leGibhithe.
4 Aole nae e hoolohe mai o Parao ia olua, i kau aku ai au i ko'u lima maluna o Aigupita, a e lawe mai iwaho i ko'u poe kaua i ka poe kanaka o'u, i na mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, me ka hoopai nui aku.
Kodwa uFaro kayikulilalela; njalo ngizabeka isandla sami phezu kweGibhithe, ngikhuphe amabutho ami, isizwe sami, abantwana bakoIsrayeli, elizweni leGibhithe, ngezigwebo ezinkulu.
5 A e ike auanei ko Aigupita, owau no Iehova, ia'u e hookakauha aku ai i ko'u lima maluna o Aigupita, a e lawe mai i na mamo a Iseraela maiwaena mai o lakou.
Njalo amaGibhithe azakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho ngiselula isandla sami phezu kweGibhithe, ngikhuphe abantwana bakoIsrayeli phakathi kwawo.
6 Hana iho la o Mose laua o Aarona, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia laua; pela laua i hana aku ai.
OMozisi loAroni basebesenza njengoba iNkosi yabalaya; benza njalo.
7 He kanawalu na makahiki o Mose, a he kanawalu na makahiki o Aarona a me kumamakolu, i ka wa a laua i olelo aku ai ia Parao.
UMozisi wayeseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, loAroni wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lantathu lapho bekhuluma kuFaro.
8 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni, isithi:
9 I ka wa e olelo mai ai o Parao ia olua, i ka i ana mai, E hoike mai olua i kekahi hana mana; alaila e olelo ae oe ia Aarona, E lalau i kou kookoo, a e kiola iho imua o Parao, a e lilo ia i nahesa:
Nxa uFaro ekhuluma lani esithi: Zenzeleni isimangaliso; uzakuthi kuAroni: Thatha intonga yakho, uyiphosele phansi phambi kukaFaro, izakuba yinyoka.
10 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona io Parao la, hana iho la laua e like me ke kauoha ana a Iehova, a kiola iho la o Aarona i kona kookoo imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa, a lilo iho la ia i nahesa.
UMozisi loAroni basebengena kuFaro, benza njalo njengoba iNkosi ilayile; uAroni wasephosela phansi intonga yakhe phambi kukaFaro laphambi kwenceku zakhe, yasisiba yinyoka.
11 Kii aku la hoi o Parao i na kanaka akamai, a me na kilo; a o na magoi o Aigupita, hana iho la hoi lakou pela, i ko lakou kilokilo ana.
UFaro wasebiza laye izazi labathakathi; labalumbi beGibhithe labo benza njalo ngamalumbo abo.
12 No ka mea, kiola iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona kookoo iho, i lilo lakou i mau nahesa: aka, o ke kookoo o Aarona, moni iho la ia i ko lakou mau kookoo.
Ngoba ngulowo lalowo waphosela phansi intonga yakhe, zaba zinyoka; kodwa intonga kaAroni yaginya intonga zabo.
13 A hoopaakikiia mai la ka naau o Parao, i hoolohe ole ai oia ia laua, e like me ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai.
Kodwa inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, okokuthi kabalalelanga, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
14 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Ua hoopaakikiia ko Parao naau, i ole ai ia e hookuu mai i ka poe kanaka.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Inhliziyo kaFaro inzima, uyala ukuyekela isizwe sihambe.
15 A kakahiaka ae, e hele oe io Parao la, aia e hele ana no ia i ka wai; e ku oe ma ke kapa o ka muliwai e halawai me ia: a e lawe oe ma kou lima i ke kookoo i lilo ai i nahesa.
Yana kuFaro ekuseni; khangela, uzaphuma esiya emanzini, ume uqondane laye ekhunjini lomfula, lentonga eyaphenduka yaba yinyoka ithathe esandleni sakho.
16 A e olelo aku oe ia ia, Ua hoouna mai nei ke Akua o ka poe Hebera ia'u ion nei, ua i mai, E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i hookauwa mai lakou na'u ma ka waonahele: aia hoi, aole oe i manao e hoolohe mamua.
Uzakuthi kuye: INkosi uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru ingithume kuwe isithi: Yekela isizwe sami sihambe, singikhonze enkangala; kodwa khangela, kawulalelanga kuze kube khathesi.
17 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ma keia mea e ike auanei oe, owau no Iehova: aia hoi, e hahau no wau i keia kookoo ma kuu lima, maluna o ka wai maloko o ka muliwai, a e lilo ia i koko.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngalokhu uzakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi; khangela, ngizatshaya ngentonga esesandleni sami phezu kwamanzi asemfuleni, njalo azaphenduka abe ligazi.
18 A e make no ka ia maloko o ka muliwai, a e hoopailua ko Aigupita ke inu i ka wai o ka muliwai.
Lenhlanzi ezisemfuleni zizakufa, lomfula ube levumba; lamaGibhithe azadinwa yikunatha amanzi emfuleni.
19 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E olelo aku oe ia Aarona, E lalau oe i kou kookoo, a e o aku kou lima maluna o na wai o Aigupita, ma na kahawai, a ma na muliwai, a ma na loko, a ma na huinawai a pau o lakou, i lilo ai lakou i koko: i hiki mai ke koko ma na aina a pau o Aigupita nei, maloko o ka laau, a maloko o ka pohaku.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Tshono kuAroni uthi: Thatha intonga yakho, welule isandla sakho phezu kwamanzi eGibhithe, phezu kwemifula yabo, phezu kwezifula zabo, laphezu kweziziba zabo, laphezu kwamachibi wonke amanzi abo, ukuze abe ligazi. Kuzakuba legazi elizweni lonke leGibhithe, lezitsheni zezihlahla lezamatshe.
20 A hana iho la o Mose laua o Aarona e like me ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai. Hapai ae la ia i ke kookoo a hahau iho la i ka wai maloko o ka muliwai, imua i ke alo o Parao, a imua i ke alo o kana poe kauwa: a lilo ae la ka wai a pau o ka muliwai i koko.
UMozisi loAroni basebesenza njalo, njengokulaya kweNkosi; wasephakamisa intonga, watshaya amanzi ayesemfuleni phambi kwamehlo kaFaro laphambi kwamehlo ezinceku zakhe; lawo wonke amanzi ayesemfuleni aphendulwa aba ligazi.
21 A make iho la ka ia maloko o ka muliwai; pilau mai la ka muliwai; aole i hiki i ko Aigupita ke inu i ka wai o ua muliwai la: a he koko no ma ka aina o Aigupita a pau.
Lenhlanzi ezisemfuleni zafa; lomfula waba levumba, kwaze kwathi amaGibhithe ehluleka ukuwanatha amanzi emfuleni; njalo kwakulegazi elizweni lonke leGibhithe.
22 Hana iho la no pela na magoi o Aigupita i ko lakou mea e kilokilo ai; a ua hoopaakikiia ka naau o Parao, aole hoi ia i hoolohe mai ia laua, e like no me ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai.
Labalumbi beGibhithe benza njalo ngamalumbo abo, kwaze kwathi inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, njalo kabalalelanga, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
23 Huli ae la o Parao, a hoi aku la i kona hale; aole hoi ia i kau aku i kona manao ma ia mea.
UFaro wasetshibilika waya endlini yakhe njalo kayibekanga inhliziyo yakhe lakulokhu.
24 Kohi iho la ko Aigupita a pau i na wahi e kokoke ana i ka muliwai, i loaa'i ka wai e inu: no ka mea, aole i hiki ia lakou ke inu i ka wai o ka muliwai.
LamaGibhithe wonke agebha amanzi okunatha inhlangothi zonke zomfula, ngoba babengelakunatha emanzini omfula.
25 A ua hala ae la na la ehiku mai ka wa mai o ko Iehova hahau ana i ka muliwai.
Lensuku eziyisikhombisa zagcwaliseka emva kokuthi iNkosi isitshaye umfula.
