1. Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yiya kuFaro; kuba mna ndiyiqaqadekisile intliziyo yakhe, nentliziyo yabakhonzi bakhe, ukuze ndibónakalalise le miqondiso yam phakathi kwalo ilizwe;
2. ukuze ubalise, ezindlebeni zonyana wakho nezonyana wonyana wakho, izenzo ezincamisileyo endizenzileyo kumaYiputa, nemiqondiso yam endiyibonakalalisileyo phakathi kwawo, ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
3. Waya uMoses noAron kuFaro, bathi kuye, Utsho uYehova, uThixo wamaHebhere, ukuthi, Kunini na ungavumi ukuzithoba phambi kwam? Bandulule abantu bam, baye kundikhonza.
4. Okanye ukuba uthe akwavuma ukubandulula abantu bam, uyabona, ngomso ndozisa iinkumbi emideni yakho;
5. zibugubungele ubuso belizwe, lingabi nakubonwa ilizwe, zidle intsalela esindileyo, enisalele esichothweni, zidle yonke imithi enihlumelayo endle;
6. zizalise izindlu zakho, nezindlu zabakhonzi bakho bonke, nezindlu zamaYiputa onke: iinkumbi ezingabonwanga ngooyihlo noonyokokhulu, kususela kwiimini ababekho ngazo emhlabeni, unanamhla. Wajika, waphuma kuFaro.
7. Bathi abakhonzi bakaFaro kuye, Koda kube nini na, lo engumgibe kuthi? Bandulule abantu, baye kukhonza uYehova uThixo wabo. Akukazi na, kuhleliwe nje, ukuba iYiputa iza kutshabalala?
8. Baza ooMoses noAron babuyiselwa kwakuFaro; wathi kubo, Hambani, niye kukhonza uYehova uThixo wenu; kuhamba oobani noobani ke?
9. Wathi uMoses, Siya kuhamba nolutsha neengwevu zakowethu, sihambe noonyana bethu neentombi zethu, nempahla yethu emfutshane neenkomo zethu; kuba kuthi ngumthendeleko kaYehova.
10. Wathi kubo, Makube njalo kambe; uYehova makabe nani, njengokuba ndinindulula nina nentsapho yenu. Khangelani, kukho ububi phambi kwenu.
11. Makungabi njalo; makuhambe nina bangamadoda, niye kukhonza uYehova; kuba nibe nifuna oko. Bagxothwa, baphuma ebusweni bukaFaro.
12. Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yolula isandla sakho phezu kwelizwe laseYiputa, kuze iinkumbi, zinyuke kulo ilizwe laseYiputa, ziyidle yonke imifuno yelizwe eli, yonke into eshiywe sisichotho.
13. Wayolula uMoses intonga yakhe phezu kwelizwe laseYiputa, uYehova waqhuba umoya wasempumalanga kwelo lizwe yonke loo mini nobusuku bonke; kwakusa, umoya wasempumalanga wazithwala iinkumbi.
14. Zenyuka iinkumbi kulo lonke ilizwe laseYiputa; zeza zahlala emideni yonke yaseYiputa, zininzi kunene; ekungazanga phambi kwazo kubekho zinkumbi zingako, kwabe emva kwazo kungasayi kubakho zinjalo.
