1 Ngalesosikhathi uThixo wathi kuMosi, “Sekusele ukuthi ngehlise uhlupho olulodwa kuFaro laphezu kweGibhithe. Ngemva kwalokho uzaliyekela lisuke lapha, njalo liphume eselixotsha lonke.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOku toe taha pe ʻae tautea te u ʻomi kia Felo mo ʻIsipite; hili ia, te ne tuku ke mou ʻalu ʻi heni: pea ka fekau ia ke mou ʻalu, ko e moʻoni te ne kapusi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻalu kotoa pē ʻi heni.
2 Tshela abantu ukuthi amadoda labafazi ngokufananayo bacele kubomakhelwane babo izinto zesiliva legolide.”
Ke ke lea ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, pea tuku ke nau kole taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, mo e fefine kotoa pē ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e teunga koula.”
3 (UThixo wenza amaGibhithe aba lomusa ebantwini, loMosi uqobo wahlonitshwa kakhulu yizikhulu zikaFaro langabantu.)
Pea naʻe fakaʻofeina ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite. Kae muʻa hake foki, naʻe ongoongo lahi ʻaupito ʻae tangata ko Mōsese ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Felo, pea mo e ʻao ʻoe kakai.
4 Ngakho uMosi wasesithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Phakathi kobusuku ngizahambahamba kulolonke elaseGibhithe.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ‘ʻE feʻunga mo e tuʻuapō te u ʻalu atu ki he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsipite:
5 Wonke owesilisa olizibulo eGibhithe uzakufa, kusukela ezibulweni likaFaro ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi kuthathe kanye lezibulo lesigqili sentombazana esisebenza ukuchola, kanye lamazibulo enkomo uqobo.
Pea ʻe mate ʻae ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he ʻuluaki fānau ʻa Felo ʻoku nofo ʻi hono nofoʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻuluaki fānau ʻae kaunanga ʻoku muimui ʻi he meʻa momosi; pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻoe fanga manu.
6 Kuzakuba lesililo esikhulu eGibhithe lonke, isililo esingakaze sibe khona njalo esingayikuba khona lanini.
Pea ʻe ai ʻae tangi lahi ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha meʻa pehē.
7 Kodwa kwabako-Israyeli akuyikuba lanja ezakhonkotha umuntu loba inyamazana.’ Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi uThixo uyawehlukanisa amaGibhithe kwabako-Israyeli.
Ka ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe ʻikai ha kulī ʻe taha ke ne ueʻi hono ʻelelo ki ai, ki ha tangata pe ki ha manu: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo kuo fai kehekehe ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻIsileli.’”
8 Zonke izikhulu zakho lezi zizakuza kimi zikhothamisele ubuso phansi phambi kwami zisithi, ‘Hambani, wena labo bonke abakulandelayo!’ Ngemva kwalokho ngizasuka.” UMosi wasesuka kuFaro elokhu ezonde evutha umlilo.
Pea ko kinautolu ni ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, te nau ʻalu hifo kiate au, ʻonau punou hifo ʻakinautolu kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke ʻalu koe, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku muimui ʻiate koe; pea hili ia, te u ʻalu kituaʻā.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kituaʻā meia Felo ʻoku ʻita lahi.
9 UThixo wayesetshilo kuMosi wathi, “UFaro uzaqinisa intamo, ukuze zande izimangaliso zami eGibhithe.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻE ʻikai tokanga ʻa Felo kiate kimoua: koeʻuhi ke fakalahi ai ʻeku ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
10 UMosi lo-Aroni bazenza zonke izimangaliso lezi emehlweni kaFaro, kodwa uThixo wayenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro kaze abavumela abako-Israyeli ukuthi baphume elizweni lakhe.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻae ngaahi mana ni kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo: pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu mei hono fonua.
