11 UMoses wambongoza uYehova uThixo wakhe, wathi, Yini na, Yehova, ukuba uvuthe umsindo wakho kubantu bakho, obakhuphileyo ezweni laseYiputa ngamandla amakhulu, nangesandla esithe nkqi?
12 Yini na ukuba amaYiputa atsho ukuthi, Wabakhuphela ububi, ukuze ababulalele ezintabeni, abagqibele bemke emhlabeni? Buya ekuvutheni komsindo wakho, uzohlwaye ngobubi obo ngenxa yabantu bakho.
13 Khumbula uAbraham noIsake noSirayeli, abakhonzi bakho, owazifunga ngokwakho kubo, wathi kubo, Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yenu ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, neli lizwe lonke ndithethileyo ngalo, ndiya kulinika imbewu yenu, ilidle ilifa ngonaphakade.
14 Wazohlwaya ke uYehova ngobubi abethe uya kubenza ebantwini bakhe.
15 Wajika uMoses, wehla entabeni, enamacwecwe omabini esingqino esandleni sakhe, amacwecwe lawo ebhalwe ngamacala omabini, ebhalwe ngapha nangapha.
16 Amacwecwe lawo ebengumsebenzi kaThixo, nombhalo lowo ubungumbhalo kaThixo ukroliwe emacwecweni.
17 Waliva uYoshuwa izwi labantu ekudumeni kwabo, wathi kuMoses, Lilizwi lemfazwe eminqubeni.
