17. Lithe ke, lakuba lisondele ixesha ledinga, awalifungayo uThixo kuAbraham, bakhula abantu, banda eYiputa,
18. kwada kwavela kumkani wumbi, ubengamazi uYosefu.
19. Lowo wabalumkisa abakowethu, wabaphatha kakubi oobawo bethu, ngokokuze bazilahle iintsana zabo, ukuze zingabudli ubomi.
20. Ekuthe ke kwelo xesha, kwazalwa uMoses; waye emhle kuThixo, wondliwa iinyanga zantathu endlwini kayise.
21. Elahliwe ke, yamchola intombi kaFaro, yazondlela ukuba abe ngunyana wayo.
22. Waqeqeshwa ke uMoses kubo bonke ubulumko bamaYiputa; waye ke eyinkunkqele ngamazwi nangemisebenzi.

24. Waza, akubona othile esoniwa, wamhlanganisela, wamphindezelela lowo ucinezelweyo ngokumthi qwaka umYiputa:
25. wayeba ke yena boqonda abazalwana bakhe ukuba uThixo ebeya kubasindisa ngesandla sakhe; abaqondanga ke bona.
26. Kananjalo ngengomso wabonakala kubo besilwa, wabanyanzela ukuba baxolisane, esithi, Madoda, niyazalana nina; yini na ukuba nonane?
27. Uthe ke yena owayemonile uwabo wamgiba, esithi, Umiswe ngubani na ukuba ube ngumphathi nomahluli phakathi kwethu?
28. Ungaba wena ufuna ukundisika na, ngohlobo omsike ngalo umYiputa izolo?
29. Wasaba ke uMoses ngelo lizwi, wangumphambukeli emhlabeni wakwaMidiyan, apho wazalela khona oonyana bababini.
30. Kuthe ke kwakuzaliseka iminyaka emashumi mané, kwabonakala kuye kwintlango yentaba yeSinayi isithunywa seNkosi, elangatyeni lomlilo etyholweni.
31. Ke kaloku, akukubona oko uMoses, wamangaliswa ngumbono lowo. Kuthe ke, akusondela ukuba awuqiqe, kwafika izwi leNkosi kuye lisithi,
32. Mna ndinguThixo wabo ooyihlo, uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi. Wesuka ke wagubha uMoses, akaba nabuganga bakuwuqiqa.
33. Ithe ke kuye iNkosi, Zithukulule iimbadada ezinyaweni zakho; kuba indawo leyo umi kuyo ingumhlaba ongcwele.
34. Ndikubonile ndakubona ukuphathwa kakubi kwabantu bam abaseYiputa, ndakuva nokuncwina kwabo; ndihlile, ukuze ndibahlangule. Yiza ngoku, ndikuthume eYiputa.
