24 Akaona mumwe wavo achitambudzwa nomuIjipita, saka akasvika akamurwira akatsiva nokuuraya muIjipita uya.
Wakabona mu Izilayeli kalo kutamizigwa, Mozesi wakamuvuna mu Izilayeli nyina, wakali kupenzegwa mpawo wajaya mu Ijiputi:

Mubuzuba butobela wakabona balumi babili kabalo kulwana, wakeezya kubavuna chaluumuno wati, “Nobalumi, muli bantu bamwi biyo, nkambonzi nimulokuchisana lwanu lwanu?”

34 Zvirokwazvo ndaona kudzvinyirirwa kwavanhu vangu muIjipiti. Ndanzwa kugomera kwavo, saka ndaburuka kuti ndizovasunungura. Zvino uya, ndinoda kukutuma udzokere kuIjipiti.’
Ndabona loko kupenzegwa kwabantu bangu balimu Ijiputi; Ndamvwa kukwila kwabo, alimwi Ndasika kuza kuzobavuna; kwalino kweza, Ndilakutuma ku Ijiputi.'
35 “Ndiye Mozisi uya wavakanga varamba namashoko okuti, ‘Ndianiko akakuita mubati nomutongi wedu?’ Ndiye akatumwa naMwari pachake kuti ave mubati nomusununguri wavo, kubudikidza nomutumwa akazviratidza kwaari mugwenzi.
Oyu Mozesi nguwe ngubakakkaka nibakamba kuti, “Ngwani wakakubikka buzuluzi amubetesi?” - nguwe ngwakatuma Leza kuti abe muzuluzi amuvuni. Leza wakamutuma kwinda mukuboko kwamungelo iwakalibonia kuli Mozesi muchiteyo.
36 Ndiye akavabudisa muIjipiti uye akaita zvishamiso nezviratidzo muIjipiti, paGungwa Dzvuku uye kwamakore makumi mana murenje.

37 “Ndiye Mozisi uya akaudza vaIsraeri kuti, ‘Mwari achakutumirai muprofita akaita seni anobva muvanhu venyu chaivo.’
“Oyu Mozesi ngonguwe wakaamba kuti kuba Izilayeli, 'Leza uyomupa musinsimi kazwa akati kababunyina, musinsimi uli mbuli ndime.'
38 Akanga ari muungano yaiva murenje, pamwe chete nomutumwa akataura kwaari paGomo reSinai, uye namadzibaba edu; uye akagamuchira mashoko mapenyu kuti azoasvitsa kwatiri.
Oyu ngomwalumi wakali mukwiizya amungelo wakali kwambula awe atala achilundu cha Sinayi, iwakali aamwi abamataata, iwakatambula imajwi apona kuti atwambile iswebo.
39 “Asi madzibaba edu akaramba kumuteerera. Vakamuramba uye mumwoyo yavo vakadzokerazve kuIjipiti.
“Pesi bamataata bakakaka kumuswilizya; bakamutontela kule kuzwa kulimbabo, mpawo mumyoyo yabo bakabweda ku Ijiputi.
40 Vakati kuna Aroni, ‘Tiitire vamwari vachatitungamirira. Kana ari Mozisi uyu akatibudisa muIjipiti, hatizivi zvakamuwira!
Echo chindi bakambila Aaloni kuti tupangile baleza batatuzulwide. Oyu Mozesi, wakatugwisya mu Ijiputi tatuzi pe ichachitika kulinguwe.'
41 Ndiyo nguva yavakaumba chifananidzo chakaita semhuru. Vakauya nezvibayiro kwachiri vakachipemberera vachikudza chinhu chakaitwa namaoko avo.
Lino bakapanga kanamani kumazuba ayo baleta chipayizyo kuli nkako, mpawo bakakondwa nkambo kamilimo yamaboko abo.

43 Makatakura tabhenakeri yaMoreki nenyeredzi yamwari wenyu Refani, zvifananidzo zvamakaita kuti muzvinamate. Naizvozvo ndichakuendesai kuutapwa’ mberi kweBhabhironi.
Mwakatambula chikombelo cha Moleki antomwe anyenyeezi yaleza waLafani, azikozyanio nzimwakapanga kuti muzikombe: alimwi Ndiyomubweza nkamwiinzye mu Bbabbiloni.'
44 “Madzitateguru edu akanga ane tabhenakeri yeChipupuriro pakati pavo murenje. Yakanga yakagadzirwa sokurayirwa kwakanga kwaitwa Mozisi naMwari, maererano nomufananidzo waakanga aona.
Bamataata bakalijisi idumba lyabukamboni munkanda, mbuli Leza mbwakalayilila nakaambula a Mozesi kuti welede kuchita mbuli mabambilo ngaakabona.
45 Vakagamuchira tabhenakeri, vachitungamirirwa naJoshua, madzibaba edu akauya pamwe chete nayo paya pavakatora nyika kubva kundudzi dzakanga dzadzingwa pamberi pavo naMwari. Tabhenakeri yakagara munyika iyo kusvikira panguva yaDhavhidhi,
