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?
