Eksodusi 2 Kuzalwa uMose, indodakazi kaFaro ithola uMose emkhunjini

¹ Kwasekuphuma umuntu wendlu kaLevi, wathatha indodakazi kaLevi.

² Owesifazane wakhulelwa, wazala indodana; lapho embona ukuthi ungumntwana omuhle, wamthukusa izinyanga ezintathu.

³ Kwathi engasakwazi ukumfihla, wamthathela umphongolo wemizi, wawumboza ngodaka nangekolitayi, wamlalisa kuwo umntwana; wayibeka emhlangeni ngasosebeni lomfula.

⁴ Udadewabo wema khatshana ukuze azi okuzakwenziwa kuye.

⁵ Indodakazi kaFaro yehla ukuyogeza emfuleni; bheka, intombazane yayihamba eceleni komfula; lapho ebona umkhumbi phakathi kwezinhlaka, wathumela incekukazi yakhe ukuba iwulande.

⁶ Eseyivula, wabona umntwana, bheka, umntwana wayekhala. Wamhawukela kakhulu, wathi: “Lo ungomunye wabantwana bamaHeberu.”

⁷ Wayesethi udadewabo endodakazini kaFaro: “Ngihambe ngikubizele umzanyana phakathi kwabesifazane bamaHebheru ukuba akuncelisele umntwana na?”

⁸ Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Hamba!” Yahamba incekukazi yabiza unina womntwana.

⁹ Indodakazi kaFaro yathi kuye: “Thatha lo mntwana omncane, ungincelisele yena, futhi ngizokunika umvuzo wakho.” Owesifazane wathatha umntwana, wamupha.

¹⁰ Wakhula umntwana, wamyisa endodakazini kaFaro, waba yindodana yayo. Wambiza uMose, wathi: “Ngokuba ngamkhipha emanzini.”

¹¹ Ngalezo zinsuku uMose esekhulile waphuma ukuyobheka abafowabo nemithwalo yabo; futhi wabulala umGibhithe owayeshaye umHebheru, omunye wabafowabo.

¹² Wabheka ngapha nangapha, wabona ukuthi akukho muntu, wambulala owaseGibithe, wamthukusa esihlabathini.

¹³ Esephuma ngosuku lwesibili, bheka, amadoda amabili amaHeberu ephikisana omunye komunye, wathi kowonileyo: “Umshayelani umngane wakho na?

¹⁴ Wathi: “Ubekwe ngubani umbusi nomahluleli phezu kwethu na?” ubuhlose ukungibulala mina njengalokho ubulele umGibithe na? UMose wayesesaba, wathi: “Impela le ndaba yaziwa.”

¹⁵ UFaro esekuzwile lokho wazama ukumbulala uMose. Kepha uMose wabaleka ebusweni bukaFaro, waya wahlala ezweni lakwaMidiyani, wahlala phansi ngasemthonjeni.

¹⁶ Umpristi wakwaMidiyani wayenamadodakazi ayisikhombisa; afika akha amanzi, agcwalisa izitsha zokuphuzisa umhlambi kayise.

¹⁷ Abelusi bafika, bawaxosha, kepha uMose wasukuma, wawasiza, waphuzisa imihlambi yawo.

¹⁸ Base befika kuyise uRehuweli, wathi: “Nifike kanjani masinyane kangaka namuhla na?”

¹⁹ Base bethi: “UmGibithe wasisindisa esandleni sabelusi, wasidalela amanzi, waphuzisa umhlambi.”

²⁰ Wathi emadodakazini akhe: “Uphi na?” umshiyeleni umuntu ukuthi adle isinkwa.

²¹ UMose wavuma ukuhlala kulowo muntu, wamupha uMose indodakazi yakhe uZipora.

²² Wamzalela indodana, wayiqamba igama lokuthi uGereshomu, ngokuba wathi: “Ngangingowezizwe ezweni labezizwe.”

²³ Kwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi inkosi yaseGibhithe yafa, abantwana bakoIsrayeli babubula ngenxa yobugqili, bakhala inyembezi, bakhala kuNkulunkulu ngobugqili.

²⁴ UNkulunkulu wezwa ukububula kwabo, uNkulunkulu wakhumbula isivumelwano sakhe no-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe.

²⁵ UNkulunkulu wababheka abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, futhi uNkulunkulu wababona.
