He rhoek he Egypt la aka kun Israel ca a ming ni. Te vaengah Jakob neh a imkhui kah hlang neh,
2 uRubheni, uSimiyoni, uLevi loJuda;

5 Inzalo yonke kaJakhobe yayingamatshumi ayisikhombisa. UJosefa wayevele eseseGibhithe.
Te vaengah Jacob hlit lamkah aka thoeng hinglu boeih he hinglu sawmrhih lo coeng tih Joseph khaw Egypt ah om coeng.
6 Kwathi uJosefa labo bonke abafowabo kanye lasosonke lesosizukulwane sebefile,
Te phoeiah Joseph neh a manuca boeih neh te kah cadilcahma tah boeih duek.
7 abako-Israyeli bazalana banda kakhulu, okokuthi ilizwe lonke lagcwala ngabo.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah pungtai uh tih luem uh, ping uh tih yet uh. Te dongah amih te khohmuen ah mawk mawk bae uh.
8 Kwasekusiba lenye inkosi eyayingazi lutho ngoJosefa, yaba ngumbusi eGibhithe.
Te vaengah Egypt ah manghai a thai phoe tih te long te Joseph ming pawh.
9 Yathi ebantwini bayo, “Khangelani, abantu bako-Israyeli sebebanengi kakhulu kulathi.
Te dongah a pilnam te, 'Pilnam he, Israel ca rhoek he mamih lakah muep pilnu coeng.
10 Asiboneni amacebo esingawenza ngabo funa bande kakhulu kuthi lapho kuqhamuka impi, babambane lezitha zethu, balwe lathi, besebesuka elizweni.”

11 Ngakho babeka izinduna zezigqili ukuthi zibasebenzise kanzima, bakha iPhithomi leRamesesi aba ngamadolobho eziphala zikaFaro.
Te dongah amih bitloh neh phaep sak ham saldong mangpa a khueh thil uh. Te vaengah Pharaoh kah rhuengim khopuei la Pithom neh Raamses te a thoh pah.
12 Kodwa kwathi ngokuhlutshwa kwabo ngamandla, labo banda kakhulu basabalala; okwenza amaGibhithe abesaba abako-Israyeli
Anih a phaep uh vanbangla ping van tih pungtai van. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a mueipuel uh.
13 asebasebenzisa ngochuku.
Te dongah Egypt loh Israel ca rhoek te mangkhak la a thohtat sak.
14 Enza impilo yabo yaba nzima kakhulu betshaya izitina lokuvoxa udaka besenza leminye yonke imisebenzi yemasimini. Kuyo yonke imisebenzi enzima amaGibhithe abasebenzisa ngochuku.

15 Inkosi yaseGibhithe yathi kubabelethisi bamaHebheru okwakuthiwa nguShifira loPhuwa,
Te phoeiah Egypt manghai loh Hebrew ca-om rhoi, a ming la pakhat ah Shiphrah neh a pabae ah a ming la Puah te a uen.
16 “Nxa libelethisa abafazi bamaHebheru, lingabona kuzelwe umfana kufanele limbulale; kodwa nxa kuyinkazana, liyiyekele iphile.”
Te vaengah, “Hebrew nu te na om sak vaengah a omnah te so rhoi. tongpa atah ngawn rhoi lamtah huta atah hing saeh.
17 Kodwa ababelethisi babemesaba uNkulunkulu, ngakho abakwenzanga lokho ababekutshelwe yinkosi yaseGibhithe.
Tedae ca-om rhoi loh Pathen te a rhih rhoi. Te dongah Egypt manghai loh amih rhoi taengkah a thui bangla saii rhoi pawt tih camoe te a hing sak rhoi.
18 Sekube njalo, inkosi yaseGibhithe yababiza ababelethisi yathi kubo, “Kungani lenze lokhu? Kungani liyekele abafana baphila?”
Te dongah Egypt manghai loh ca-om rhoek te a khue tih amamih taengah, “Balae tih he kah hno he na saii uh tih camoe na hing sak uh,” a ti nah.
19 Ababelethisi bamphendula uFaro bathi, “Abafazi bamaHebheru abafani labafazi bamaGibhithe; balamandla baphanga babelethe ababelethisi bengakafiki.”
Te vaengah ca-om rhoek loh Pharaoh te, “Hebrew nu he Egypt nu bang moenih. Amih tah rhaang uh tih amih taengla ca-om a pawk hlan ah khaw om uh coeng,” a ti nah.
20 Ngakho uNkulunkulu waba lomusa kubo ababelethisi, abantu banda baba banengi kakhulu.
Te dongah Pathen loh ca-om rhoek te a voelphoeng sak tih pilnam a ping dongah muep rhoeng uh.
21 Njalo njengoba ababelethisi bamesaba uNkulunkulu, wabapha ezabo izimuli.
Ca-om rhoek loh Pathen te a rhih uh dongah amih ham im khaw a thoh pah.
22 UFaro wasesipha abantu bakhe bonke umlayo othi: “Wonke umfana womHebheru ozalwayo kufanele aphoselwe emfuleni uNayili, kodwa wonke amankazana liwayekele aphile.”
Te dongah Pharaoh loh a pilnam boeih te a uen tih, “tongpa la aka thaang boeih tah sokko la voei uh kuekluek lamtah huta tah boeih hing sak uh,” a ti nah.
