Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tsopano udzaona zimene ndimuchite Farao: Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzalola anthu anga kuti atuluke. Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzawatulutsa mʼdziko lake.”
2 Mwari akatiwo kuna Mozisi, “Ndini Jehovha.
Mulungu anatinso kwa Mose, “Ine ndine Yehova.
3 Ndakazviratidza kuna Abhurahama, kuna Isaka, nokuna Jakobho saMwari Wamasimba Ose, asi nezita rangu, Jehovha, handina kuzvizivisa kwavari.

4 Ndakasimbisawo sungano yangu navo kuti ndivape nyika yeKenani, nyika yavakagara savatorwa.
Ndinakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwo kuwalonjeza kuti ndidzawapatsa dziko la Kanaani kumene anakhalako kale ngati alendo.
5 Pamusoro paizvozvo, ndanzwa kugomera kwavaIsraeri, vakabatwa muutapwa navaIjipita, uye ndarangarira sungano yangu.
Ndamvanso kubuwula kwa Aisraeli, amene Aigupto awayesa akapolo ndipo ndakumbukira pangano langa.”
6 “Naizvozvo, uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Ndini Jehovha, uye ndichakubudisai kubva pasi pejoko ravaIjipita. Ndichakusunungurai kuti musava nhapwa kwavari, uye ndichakudzikinurai noruoko rwakatambanudzwa uye nokutonga kwamabasa makuru.
“Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova, ndipo ndidzakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto. Ndidzakumasulani mu ukapolo, ndidzakuwombolani ndi dzanja langa lotambasuka ndi kuchita ntchito zachiweruzo.
7 Ndichakutorai savanhu vangu, uye ndichava Mwari wenyu. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, akakubvisai pasi pejoko ravaIjipita.
Ndidzakutengani kukhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto.
8 Uye ndichakuuyisai kunyika yandakapika ndakasimudza ruoko kuna Abhurahama, kuna Isaka nokuna Jakobho. Ndichaipa kwamuri senhaka yenyu. Ndini Jehovha.’”
Ndipo ndidzakufikitsani ku dziko limene ndinalumbira kuti ndidzalipereka kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo. Ndidzakupatsani dziko limenelo kuti likhale lanu. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
9 Mozisi akazivisa izvi kuvaIsraeri, asi havana kumuteerera nokuda kwokuora mwoyo kwavo uye nousungwa hune utsinye.

10 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
11 “Enda undotaurira Faro mambo weIjipiti kuti arege vaIsraeri vabude munyika yake.”
“Pita ukawuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti awalole Aisraeli atuluke mʼdziko lake.”
12 Asi Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, “Kana vaIsraeri vasinganditeereri, Faro anganditeerera seiko, sezvo ndichitaura nemiromo inokakama?”
Koma Mose ananena kwa Yehova kuti, “Ngati Aisraeli sanandimvere, Farao akandimvera chifukwa chiyani, pajatu sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
13 Zvino Jehovha akataura kuna Mozisi naAroni pamusoro pavaIsraeri napamusoro paFaro mambo weIjipiti, uye akavarayira kuti vabudise vaIsraeri kubva muIjipiti.
