1 Zvino Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi, “Ndichauyisa rimwezve dambudziko pamusoro paFaro napamusoro peIjipiti. Shure kwaizvozvo, achakutenderai kubva muno, uye paanozviita, achakudzingirai kunze zvachose.
Tsopano Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndidzalanga Farao pamodzi ndi Aigupto onse ndi mliri umodzi wotsiriza. Zikadzachitika izi iye adzakulolani kuti mutuluke mʼdziko lino. Ndithu pamene azidzakutulutsani adzachita ngati akukuyingitsani.
2 Udza vanhu kuti varume navakadzi, pamwe chete, vakumbire vavakidzani vavo zvishongo zvesirivha nezvegoridhe.”
Awuze anthu kuti mwamuna aliyense ndi mkazi aliyense apemphe kwa mnansi wake ziwiya zasiliva ndi golide.”
3 Jehovha akaita kuti vanhu vawanirwe nyasha navaIjipita, uye Mozisi pachake akanga achikudzwa zvikuru muIjipiti namachinda aFaro uye navanhu.
Tsono Yehova anachititsa Aigupto kuti akomere mtima Aisraeli. Komanso Mose anali wotchuka kwambiri mʼdziko la Igupto, pamaso pa nduna za Farao ndi anthu onse.
4 Saka Mozisi akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Pakati pousiku ndichafamba napakati peIjipiti.
Tsono Mose anawuza Farao kuti, “Pakati pa usiku, Yehova adzayenda pakati pa anthu a ku Igupto.
5 Mwanakomana wose wedangwe ari muIjipiti achafa, kubva pamwanakomana wedangwe waFaro, iye agere pachigaro choushe, kusvikira kumwanakomana wedangwe womurandakadzi, ari paguyo rake, namatangwe ose emombewo.
Ndipo mwana aliyense wamwamuna wachisamba adzafa, kuyambira mwana wamwamuna wa Farao amene amakhala pa mpando waufumu, mpaka mwana wamwamuna wachisamba wa mdzakazi wake amene ali naye pa mtondo, komanso ana oyamba a ziweto.
6 Pachava nokuchema kukuru muIjipiti yose, kwakadaro hakuna kumbovapo uye hakungavepozve.
Kudzakhala kulira kwakukulu mʼdziko lonse la Igupto, kumene sikunachitikepo ndipo sikudzachitikanso.
7 Asi pakati pavaIsraeri hapana kana imbwa ichahukura munhu zvake kana chipfuwo.’ Ipapo uchaziva kuti Jehovha anoita mutsauko pakati peIjipiti neIsraeri.
Koma pakati pa Aisraeli, ngakhale galu sadzawuwa munthu aliyense kapena chiweto!” Kotero mudzadziwa kuti Yehova ndiye wasiyanitsa pakati pa Igupto ndi Israeli.
8 Machinda ako ose aya achauya kwandiri, vachipfugama pamberi pangu vachiti, ‘Chiendai, imi navanhu vose vanokuteverai!’ Shure kwaizvozvo ndichaenda.” Ipapo Mozisi, atsamwa kwazvo, akabva pana Faro.
Nduna zanu zonse zidzabwera kwa ine, kugwada pamaso panga ndi kunena kuti, “Pita iwe ndi anthu ako onse amene akukutsatirawa! Zimenezi zikadzachitika ine ndidzachoka.” Ndipo Mose anachoka kwa Farao atakwiya kwambiri.
9 Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi, “Faro acharamba kukuteerera, kuitira kuti zvishamiso zvangu zviwande muIjipiti.”
Yehova ananena kwa Mose kuti, “Farao adzakana kukumvera, kuti zodabwitsa zanga zichuluke mʼdziko la Igupto.”
10 Mozisi naAroni vakaita zvishamiso zvose izvi pamberi paFaro, asi Jehovha akaomesa mwoyo waFaro uye haana kuda kutendera vaIsraeri kuti vabude munyika yake.
Mose ndi Aaroni anachita zodabwitsa zonsezi pamaso pa Farao koma Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao, ndipo sanalole kuti Aisraeli atuluke mʼdziko lake.
