U-Eksodusi 9
1 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yana kuFaro uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, ukuthi, “Yekela abantu bami bahambe, ukuze bayengikhonza.”
Pea folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu kia Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu,’ koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.”
2 Ungabalela ukuthi bahambe ube ulokhu ubabambile
He kapau te ke taʻofi hono tukuange, mo ke puke pe ʻakinautolu,
3 uThixo uzakwehlisela isifo esibi ezifuyweni zakho emadlelweni, amabhiza enu, obabhemi, amakamela, inkomo, izimvu lembuzi.
Vakai, ko e nima ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻi hoʻo ngaahi manu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ki he fanga hoosi, pea ki he fanga asi, ki he fanga kāmeli, ki he fanga pulu, pea ki he fanga sipi: ʻe ai ʻae mahaki lahi mo mamahi.
4 Kodwa uThixo uzakwenza umahluko phakathi kwezifuyo zabako-Israyeli lezamaGibhithe ukuze kungafi lasinye isifuyo sabako-Israyeli.’”
Pea ʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsileli mei he ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsipite: pea ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe mate ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
5 UThixo wamisa isikhathi esithile wathi, “uThixo uzakwenza lokhu kusasa elizweni leli.”
Pea naʻe kotofa ʻe Sihova hono feituʻulaʻā, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻapongipongi ʻi he fonua.”
6 Lakanye ngelanga elilandelayo uThixo wakwenza, zonke izifuyo zamaGibhithe zafa, kodwa akufanga ngitsho lasinye isifuyo sabako-Israyeli.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea naʻe mate ai ʻae ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsipite; ka ko e ngaahi manu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai mate ai ha taha.
7 UFaro wathuma amadoda ukuyahlola umonakalo afumana ukuthi kwakungafanga sifuyo lasinye sabako-Israyeli. Kodwa inhliziyo yakhe yala ilokhu ilukhuni, wabalela abantu ukuthi bahambe.
Pea fekau ʻe Felo, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai mate ha manu ʻe taha ʻi he kakai ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻae kakai ke ʻalu.
8 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi lo-Aroni, “Thathani umlotha omlutshwana eziko lifike kuFaro uMosi awuhazele emoyeni phambi kwakhe.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, “Mo toʻo ʻae faluku ʻoe efuefu mei he ngotoʻumu, pea tuku ke laku hake ia ʻe Mōsese ki langi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo:
9 Uzakuba luthuli phezu kwelizwe lonke laseGibhithe, lapho-ke kuzaphihlika amathumba amabi ebantwini lasezinyamazaneni kulolonke ilizwe.”
Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e efu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e hangatāmaki mo e vakafoha, ki he tangata mo e manu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
10 Ngakho bathatha umlotha eziko baya kuFaro. UMosi wawuhazela emoyeni, abantu bonke lezinyamazana zonke kwamilwa ngamathumba aphihlikayo.
Pea naʻa na toʻo mai ʻae efuefu ʻoe ngotoʻumu, ʻo na tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo: pea laku hake ia ʻe Mōsese ki langi; pea naʻe hoko ia ko e hangatāmaki, pea naʻe tupu ʻae vakafoha ki he tangata mo e manu.
11 Izangoma zehluleka ukumisana loMosi ngenxa yamathumba ayezibulala kanye lamaGibhithe wonke.
Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ʻae kau fie mana ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese ko e meʻa ʻi he hangatāmaki; he naʻe ʻi he kau fie mana ʻae hangatāmaki, pea naʻe ʻi he kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē.
12 Kodwa uThixo wenza yaba lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro wala ukulalela uMosi lo-Aroni njengoba uThixo wayevele etshilo kuMosi.
Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinaua; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
13 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Vuka ekuseni kakhulu uye kuFaro, uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, uthi, yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bayengikhonza.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.’
14 Kungenjalo kulesisikhathi ngizakwehlisa ubunzima bezinhlupho zami obulesihluku phezu kwakho, phezu kwezinceku zakho labantu bakho ukuze lazi ukuthi kakho omunye onjengami emhlabeni wonke.
He te u fekau eni ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tautea kotoa pē ki ho loto, pea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ho kakai; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi māmani ʻo hangē ko au.
15 Kunje nje ngabe sengiselulile isandla sami ngakutshaya kanye labantu bakho ngesifo ebesizakucitsha emhlabeni.
He ko ʻeni, teu mafao atu hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke u taaʻi koe mo ho kakai ʻaki ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ʻe tuʻusi koe mei māmani.
16 Kodwa ngikuphephisile ngayonale injongo yokuthi ngikubonise amandla ami, lokuthi ibizo lami lifakazwe kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Pea ko e moʻoni kuo u fokotuʻu koe, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻiate koe ʻeku mālohi; pea ke fakaongo atu ai hoku huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
17 Ulokhu utshingela abantu bami ubalela ukuthi bahambe.
ʻOku ke kei fakahikihiki koe ki hoku kakai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fie tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu?
18 Ngalokho-ke ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizakwehlisa isiqhotho esingakaze sehlele eGibhithe lilokhu lababala laba khona ilizwe leli.
Vakai, ko e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi, Te u pule ke tō ai ʻae ʻuha maka fakamamahi lahi, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi ʻIsipite, talu hono fokotuʻu ʻo ia ʻo aʻu ki heni.
19 Wohle nje uthumezele ilizwi lokuthi izifuyo zakho lakho konke olakho emadlelweni kubuyiswe kuvalelwe esibayeni esivikelweyo ngoba isiqhotho leso sizatshaya umuntu wonke lesifuyo sonke esingabuthwanga nxa silokhu sisegangeni, konke kuzakufa.’”
Ko ia ke ke fekau ni, ke tānaki hoʻo fanga manu mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi he ngoue; he ko e tangata kotoa pē mo e manu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngoue, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻomi ia ki ʻapi, ʻe tō hifo ʻae ʻuha maka ki ai, pea te nau mate.”
20 Lezozikhulu zikaFaro ezalesabayo ilizwi likaThixo zaphanga zangenisa izigqili zazo lezifuyo ngaphakathi.
Pea ʻilonga ia naʻe manavahē ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Felo, naʻa ne pule ke puna ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e fanga manu ki he ngaahi fale:
21 Labo abangalinanzanga ilizwi likaThixo izigqili zabo lezifuyo zabo bakuyekela kusegangeni.
Pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mo e fanga manu ʻi he ngoue.
22 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Yelula isandla sakho siye phezulu ukuze kune isiqhotho kulolonke iGibhithe, phezu kwabantu lezinyamazana laphezu kwakho konke okukhulayo emasimini aseGibhithe.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki langi: koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻae ʻuha maka ki he tangata mo e manu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ki he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
23 UMosi wonela ukukhomba ngentonga yakhe phezulu, uThixo wehlisa umdumo lesiqhotho, umbane wabaneka phansi emhlabathini. Ngakho uThixo wanisa isiqhotho elizweni laseGibhithe.
Pea mafao atu hono tokotoko e Mōsese ki langi: pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae mana mo e ʻuha maka, pea naʻe malele ʻae afi ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe fakaʻuha maka ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
24 Isiqhotho satshaya umbane wabaneka yonke indawo. Sasingakaze sibe khona isiphepho esinjalo sekulokhu isizwe saseGibhithe saba khona.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻuha maka naʻe fefiofi mo e afi, ko e meʻa mamahi ʻaupito, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite talu hono hoko ko e puleʻanga.
25 Isiqhotho satshaya saqothula yonke into egangeni, abantu lezinyamazana; sabhuqa konke okukhulayo emasimini, saphundla izihlahla zonke eGibhithe.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻe he ʻuha maka ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu: pea teʻia ʻe he ʻuha maka ʻae ʻakau siʻi kotoa pē, pea ne fesiʻi ʻae ʻakau lahi kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue.
26 Indawo eyasilayo yiGosheni lapho okwakulabako-Israyeli khona.
Ka ko e fonua ko Koseni, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻuha maka.
27 UFaro wasebiza uMosi lo-Aroni. Wathi kubo, “Okwamanje ngenze isono. UThixo ulungile, kukanti mina labantu bami siyizoni.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Kuo u fai angahala ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ka ko au mo hoku kakai ʻoku angahala.
28 Khulekani kuThixo, ngoba ukukhwaza kwezulu lesiqhotho sekwanele. Ngizaliyekela lihambe; akusadingeki ukuthi lihlale.”
Mo hū kia Sihova (he kuo lahi, ) ke ʻoua naʻa kei fai ʻae mana lahi mo e ʻuha maka; pea te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ke ʻalu, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou tatali.”
29 UMosi waphendula wathi. “Nxa sengiphumile edolobheni ngizavula izandla zami ngikhuleke kuThixo. Ukuduma kuzakhawula kungabe kusaba lesiqhotho, ukuze wazi ukuthi umhlaba ngokaThixo.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate ia, “ʻI heʻeku hoko leva ki he tuʻa kolo, teu mafao atu hoku nima kia Sihova; pea ʻe tuku leva ʻae mana, pea ʻe ʻikai kei tō ʻae ʻuha maka: koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻa māmani.
30 Kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi wena lezikhulu zakho lilokhu lingamesabi uThixo uNkulunkulu.”
Ka ko koe mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
31 (Amabele lebhali kwabhuqwa nya ngoba amabele ayeselezikhwebu lophoko selumumethe.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻae falakesi mo e paʻale he naʻe fua ʻae paʻale, pea kamata fua mo e falakesi.
32 Ingqoloyi lenyawuthi khona kakuthintwanga ngoba kuvuthwa muva.)
Ka ko e uite mo e lai naʻe ʻikai teʻia, he naʻe teʻeki ai tupu hake.
33 UMosi wasesuka kuFaro waphuma edolobheni. Welulela izandla zakhe kuThixo; ukuduma kwezulu lesiqhotho kwakhawula, izulu alabe lisana emhlabeni.
Pea ʻalu ʻa Mōsese meia Felo ki he tuaʻā kolo, ʻo ne mafao atu hono nima kia Sihova: pea naʻe tuku ai ʻae mana mo e ʻuha maka, pea naʻe ʻikai kei tō ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele.
34 Kwathi uFaro ebona ukuthi izulu lesiqhotho lokukhwaza kwezulu kwasekukhawule waphinda wenza isono: Yena lezikhulu zakhe benza inhliziyo zabo zaba lukhuni.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Felo kuo matuʻu ʻae ʻuha mo e ʻuha maka, mo e mana, naʻe toe fai angahala ia, ʻo fakafefeka hono loto, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
35 Ngakho inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni akaze avumela abako-Israyeli ukuthi bahambe njengoba uThixo wayetshilo ngoMosi.
Pea naʻe fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
