Eksodusi 9 Isifo Sesihlanu: Isifo esiwumshayabhuqe phakathi kwemfuyo

¹ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngena kuFaro, uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru: Yekela abantu bami bahambe, ukuze bangikhonze.

² Ngokuba uma wala ukubakhulula, ubathulise,

³ Bhekani, isandla sikaJehova siphezu kwezinkomo zenu ezisendle, naphezu kwamahhashi, naphezu kwezimbongolo, naphezu kwamakamela, naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwezimvu; kuyoba khona isifo esiwumshayabhuqe esinzima kakhulu.

⁴ UJehova uyakwahlukanisa imfuyo yakwa-Israyeli nemfuyo yaseGibithe, akuyikufa lutho kukho konke okwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

⁵ INkosi yasimisa isikhathi esimisiweyo yathi: Kusasa iNkosi izakwenza lokhu elizweni.

⁶ INkosi yasikwenza lokho ngangomuso, imfuyo yonke yaseGibithe yafa; kepha emfuyweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli akufanga neyodwa.

⁷ UFaro wathuma, bheka, emfuyweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli akufanga neyodwa. Inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kabavumelanga abantu ukuba bahambe.

Isifo Sesithupha: Ukuqubuka kwamathumba

⁸ UJehova wathi kuMose naku-Aroni: “Zithatheleni izandla zomlotha waseziko, uMose awuphonse esibhakabhakeni phambi kwamehlo kaFaro.

⁹ Kuyoba uthuli oluncane ezweni lonke laseGibhithe, kube yithumba eliqubuka nezikhothwayo kubantu nasezilwaneni ezweni lonke laseGibhithe.

¹⁰ Base bethatha umlotha waseziko, bema phambi kukaFaro; uMose wayifafazela ezulwini; kwaba yithumba eliqubuka nezikhothwa kubantu nasezinkomeni.

¹¹ Izanusi zazingenakuma phambi kukaMose ngenxa yamathumba; ngoba amathumba ayephezu kwezanusi laphezu kwawo wonke amaGibhithe.

Inhlupho Yesikhombisa: Isichotho Esinzima

¹² UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, kabalalelanga; njengalokho uJehova wakhuluma kuMose.

¹³ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Vuka ekuseni kakhulu, ume phambi kukaFaro, uthi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru: Yekela abantu bami bahambe ukuze bangikhonze.

¹⁴ Ngokuba ngalesi sikhathi ngiyakuthuma zonke izinhlupho zami enhliziyweni yakho, nasezincekwini zakho, nakubantu bakho; ukuze wazi ukuthi akakho onjengami emhlabeni wonke.

¹⁵ Ngokuba manje ngiyakwelula isandla sami ukuba ngikushaye wena nabantu bakho ngesifo; futhi uyonqunywa emhlabeni.

¹⁶ Ngakuvusa-ke impela, ukuze ngibonakalise amandla ami kuwe; nokuthi igama lami lishunyayelwe emhlabeni wonke.

¹⁷ Usaziphakamisa yini phezu kwabantu bami, ukuze ungabayekeli bahambe?

¹⁸ Bheka, kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngiyakunisa isichotho esinzima kakhulu, esingakaze sibe khona eGibithe kusukela ekusekelweni kwalo kuze kube manje.

¹⁹ Manje thumela futhi uqoqe izinkomo zakho nakho konke onakho endle; ngoba phezu kwawo wonke umuntu nezilwane ezitholakala endle futhi zingalethwa ekhaya, isichotho siyowela phezu kwazo, zife.

²⁰ Owesabayo izwi leNkosi phakathi kwezinceku zikaFaro, izinceku zakhe nemfuyo yakhe mababalekela ezindlini.

²¹ Kepha yena ongalalelanga izwi likaJehova washiya izinceku zakhe nezinkomo zakhe endle.

²² INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yelulela isandla sakho emazulwini, ukuze kube khona isichotho elizweni lonke leGibhithe, phezu kwabantu lezilwane laphezu kwazo zonke izimila zeganga elizweni lonke leGibhithe.

²³ UMose wayeselula intonga yakhe ezulwini, uJehova wathumela ukuduma nesichotho, nomlilo wehlela emhlabeni; uJehova wanisa isichotho phezu kwezwe laseGibithe.

²⁴ Kwasekusiba khona isichotho lomlilo kuxutshaniswe lesiqhotho, esinzima kakhulu, ekungazange kube khona okunjengalokhu elizweni lonke leGibhithe selokhu laba yisizwe.

²⁵ Isichotho sashaya konke okwakusendle, abantu nezinkomo, ezweni lonke laseGibithe; isichotho sashaya zonke izitshalo zasendle, saphula yonke imithi yasendle.

²⁶ Ezweni laseGosheni kuphela, lapho kwakukhona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, akubangakho sichotho.

²⁷ UFaro wayesethuma wabiza oMose no-Aroni, wathi kubo: “Ngonile ngalesi sikhathi; uJehova ulungile, mina nabantu bami sibabi.

²⁸ Khulekani eNkosini (ngoba sekwanele) ukuthi kungabe kusaba khona ukuduma okukhulu lesichotho; ngiyakunivumela ukuba nihambe, ningabe nisahlala.

²⁹ UMozisi wasesithi kuye: Nxa ngiphuma emzini, ngizakwelulela izandla zami eNkosini; nokuduma kuyonqamuka, nesichotho ngeke sisaba khona; ukuze nazi ukuthi umhlaba ungokaJehova.

³⁰ Kepha wena nezinceku zakho ngiyazi ukuthi aniyikuyesaba iNkosi uJehova.

³¹ Ifilakisi nebhali kwase kubhulwa, ngokuba ibhali lase liyisikhwebu, nefilakisi laliyithumba.

³² Kodwa ukolweni nokhula akubhuqwanga, ngokuba kwakungekukhulu.

³³ UMose waphuma emzini kaFaro, welulela izandla zakhe kuJehova; kwanqamuka ukuduma nesichotho, nemvula ayizange inethe emhlabeni.

³⁴ Lapho uFaro ebona ukuthi imvula nesichotho nokuduma kunqamukile, waqhubeka wona futhi wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe, yena nezinceku zakhe.

³⁵ Inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kabavumelanga abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe; njengokukhuluma kukaJehova ngoMose.
