Enza impilo yabo yaba nzima kakhulu betshaya izitina lokuvoxa udaka besenza leminye yonke imisebenzi yemasimini. Kuyo yonke imisebenzi enzima amaGibhithe abasebenzisa ngochuku.
15 Na tokosra Egypt el kaskas nu sin luo sin mutan akisus ma kasru mutan Hebrew. Ineltal pa Shiphrah ac Puah.
Inkosi yaseGibhithe yathi kubabelethisi bamaHebheru okwakuthiwa nguShifira loPhuwa,
16 El fahk nu seltal, “Ke komtal ac akisusye mutan Hebrew uh, fin ac tulik mukul se, na unilya; fin ac tulik mutan se, lela elan moul.”
“Nxa libelethisa abafazi bamaHebheru, lingabona kuzelwe umfana kufanele limbulale; kodwa nxa kuyinkazana, liyiyekele iphile.”
17 Tusruktu mutan akisus inge eltal etu in sangeng sin God, oru eltal tia aksol tokosra, a eltal fuhlela tulik mukul uh in moul.
Kodwa ababelethisi babemesaba uNkulunkulu, ngakho abakwenzanga lokho ababekutshelwe yinkosi yaseGibhithe.
18 Ouinge tokosra el sapla nu sin mutan akisus ah, ac siyuk seltal, “Efu komtal ku oru ange? Efu komtal ku fuhlela tulik mukul uh moul?”
Sekube njalo, inkosi yaseGibhithe yababiza ababelethisi yathi kubo, “Kungani lenze lokhu? Kungani liyekele abafana baphila?”
19 Eltal topuk, “Mutan Hebrew uh tia oana mutan Egypt uh, mweyen isus uh ma fisrasr se selos, oru tulik natulos isusla meet liki na mutan akisus uh sonolos.”
Ababelethisi bamphendula uFaro bathi, “Abafazi bamaHebheru abafani labafazi bamaGibhithe; balamandla baphanga babelethe ababelethisi bengakafiki.”
20 Ouinge God El oru wo nu sin mutan akisus inge, ac mwet uh puselik ac arulana ku.
Ngakho uNkulunkulu waba lomusa kubo ababelethisi, abantu banda baba banengi kakhulu.
21 Ke sripen mutan akisus inge mwet sangeng sin God, oru El sang in oasr pac tulik natultal.
Njalo njengoba ababelethisi bamesaba uNkulunkulu, wabapha ezabo izimuli.
22 Na tokosra el sapelik nu sin mwet lal nukewa, “Tulik mukul Hebrew nukewa ma isusla, kowos sisla nu Infacl Nile, a lela tulik mutan uh in moul.”
UFaro wasesipha abantu bakhe bonke umlayo othi: “Wonke umfana womHebheru ozalwayo kufanele aphoselwe emfuleni uNayili, kodwa wonke amankazana liwayekele aphile.”
