2Kwasekusuka indoda yendlu yakoLevi, yathatha indodakazi yakoLevia. 2 Owesifazana wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana; eseyibonile ukuthi inhle, wayifihla inyanga ezintathub. 3 Kwathi engaselakuyifihla wayithathela isitsha semizic, wasibhada ngengcino langethara, wafaka umntwana kuso, wasibeka emihlangeni ekhunjini lomfulad. 4 Udadewaboe wasezimisa khatshana ukuze azi okuzakwenziwa kuye.

5 Kwasekusehla indodakazi kaFaro ukuyageza emfuleni; lamantombazana ayo ahamba eceleni komfula. Isibonile isitsha phakathi kwemihlanga, yathuma incekukazi yayo yasithathaf. 6 Kwathi isivula, yabona umntwana, khangela-ke, umfanyana wakhala inyembezi. Yasimhawukela yathi: Lo ngomunye wabafana bamaHebheru. 7 Udadewabo wasesithi endodakazini kaFaro: Ngihambe yini ngiyekubizela umfazi omunyisayo kumaHebherukazi ukuze akumunyisele umfana? 8 Indodakazi kaFaro yasisithi kuye: Hamba. Intombi yasihamba, yabiza unina womfana. 9 Indodakazi kaFaro yasisithi kuye: Thatha uhambe lalo umntwana, ungimunyisele yena; njalo mina ngizakupha iholo lakho. Owesifazana wasemthatha umntwana, wammunyisa. 10 Umfana esekhulile, wamletha endodakazini kaFaro, wasesiba yindodana yayog. Yasisitha ibizo layo yathi nguMozisi1, yathi: Ngoba ngamkhupha emanzini.

11 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku, uMozisi esekhulile, waphuma waya kubafowaboh, wakhangela imithwalo yaboi; futhi wabona umGibhithe etshaya umHebheru kubafowabo. 12 Wathalaza ngapha langapha; esebonile ukuthi kakulamuntu, wamtshaya umGibhithe, wamfihla etshebetshebeni. 13 Waphuma langosuku lwesibili, khangela-ke, amaHebheru amabili esilwa; wasesithi kowonileyo: Umtshayelani umakhelwane wakhoj? 14 Wasesithi: Ngubani okubeke ube yisiphathamandla2 lomahluleli phezu kwethu? Wena uzimisele ukungibulala yini njengalokho ubulele umGibhithe? UMozisi wasesesaba wathi: Isibili udaba luyaziwa.

15 Kwathi uFaro eseluzwile udaba, wadinga ukumbulala uMozisi. Kodwa uMozisi wabalekela ubuso bukaFarok, wahlala elizweni leMidiyani; wahlala emthonjenil. 16 Njalo umpristi weMidiyani wayelamadodakazi ayisikhombisa; ezam ukukhan, agcwalisa imikoloo ukunathisa umhlambi kayise. 17 Kwasekufika abelusi, bawaxotsha; kodwa uMozisi wasukuma, wawasiza wanathisa umhlambi wawop. 18 Lapho efika kuRehuweliq uyise, wathi: Kungani libuye masinyane kangaka lamuhla? 19 Asesithi: Indoda engumGibhithe isophulile esandleni sabelusi; futhi yasikhela lokusikhela, yanathisa umhlambi. 20 Wasesithi emadodakazini akhe: Kambe ingaphi? Kanti liyitshiyeleni indoda? Ibizeni, ukuze idle isinkwar. 21 UMozisi wasevuma ukuhlala lendoda; wasemnika uMozisi uZipora indodakazi yakhes. 22 Wasezala indodana; wayitha ibizo layo uGereshoma3, ngoba wathi: Ngangingowemzini elizweni lemzini.

23 Kwasekusithi emva kwalezinsuku ezinengit, inkosi yeGibhithe yafa. Labantwana bakoIsrayeli babubula ngenxa yobugqiliu, bakhala; lokukhala kwabo kwenyukela kuNkulunkulu ngenxa yobugqiliv. 24 UNkulunkulu wasesizwa ukububula kwabow, uNkulunkulu wakhumbula isivumelwanox sakhe loAbrahama, loIsaka, njalo loJakobey. 25 UNkulunkulu wasebona abantwana bakoIsrayeliz, uNkulunkulu wabazia.
