13INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi: 2 Ngingcwelisela lonke izibulo, elivula loba yisiphi isizalo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, elomuntu lelenyamazana, lingelamia.

3 UMozisi wasesithi ebantwini: Khumbulani lolusuku eliphume ngalo eGibhithe, endlini yobugqilib; ngoba ngamandla esandla iNkosi ilikhuphile lapha. Njalo kakungadliwa isinkwa esilemvubeloc. 4 Ngalolusuku liyaphuma ngenyanga kaAbhibhid.

5 Njalo kuzakuthi lapho iNkosi isikungenisile elizweni lamaKhanani lamaHethi lamaAmori lamaHivi lamaJebusie, afunga kuboyihlo ukukunika lonaf, ilizwe eligeleza uchago lolujug, uzagcina linkonzo ngalinyangah. 6 Insuku eziyisikhombisa uzakudla izinkwa ezingelamvubelo, langosuku lwesikhombisa kuzakuba khona umkhosi eNkosinii. 7 Izinkwa ezingelamvubelo zizadliwa ngensuku eziyisikhombisa; njalo kakuyikubonwa kuwe okuvutshelweyo lemvubelo kayiyikubonwa kuwe kuwo wonke umngcele wakho.

8 Njalo uzatshela indodana yakho ngalolosuku usithi: Ngenxa yalokho iNkosi eyakwenza kimi ekuphumeni kwami eGibhithej. 9 Futhi kuzakuba kuwe luphawu phezu kwesandla sakhok lesikhumbuzol phakathi laphakathi kwamehlo akho, ukuze umlayo weNkosi ube semlonyeni wakho; ngoba ngesandla esilamandla iNkosi ikukhuphile eGibhithe. 10 Ngakho uzagcina lesisimiso ngesikhathi saso esimisiweyo iminyaka ngeminyakam.

11 Njalo kuzakuthi lapho iNkosi isikungenisile elizweni lamaKhanani, njengokufunga kwayo kuwe lakuboyihlo, isikunike lona, 12 uzakwehlukanisela iNkosi konke okuvula isizalo; lalo lonke izibulo lomqegu wezifuyo olazo, amaduna azakuba ngaweNkosin. 13 Lalo lonke izibulo likababhemi uzalihlenga ngewundluo; kodwa uba ungalihlengi, uzalephula intamo; lalo lonke izibulo lomuntu phakathi kwamadodana akho uzalihlengap.

14 Njalo kuzakuthi lapho indodana yakho ikubuza ngesikhathi esizayo isithi: Kuyini lokhuq? Uzakuthi kuyo: Ngamandla esandla iNkosi yasikhupha eGibhithe, endlini yobugqilir. 15 Ngoba kwathi uFaro ezenza lukhuni ukuthi asiyekele sihambe, iNkosi yabulala lonke izibulo elizweni leGibhithes, kusukela kuzibulo lomuntu kusiya kuzibulo lezifuyo; ngakho ngiyahlabela iNkosi konke okuvula isizalo okuduna; kodwa lonke izibulo lamadodana ami ngiyalihlengat. 16 Njalo kuzakuba luphawu phezu kwesandla sakho lamafilakteriyu* phakathi laphakathi kwamehlo akhou, ngoba ngamandla esandla iNkosi yasikhupha eGibhithe.

17 Kwasekusithi uFaro eseyekele abantu bahambe, uNkulunkulu kabakhokhelanga ngendlela yelizwe lamaFilisti, lanxa yayiseduze; ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi: Hlezi abantu bazisole nxa bebona impi, babuyele eGibhithev. 18 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wababhodisa abantu ngendlela yenkangala yoLwandle oluBomvuw. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenyuka besuka elizweni leGibhithe behlomile. 19 UMozisi wasethatha amathambo kaJosefa wahamba lawo, ngoba wayebafungisile lokubafungisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Isibili uNkulunkulu uzalihambela; futhi kalibokwenyusa lapha amathambo ami lihambe lawox.

20 Basebesuka eSukothi, bamisa inkamba eEthama, ekucineni kwenkangalay. 21 INkosi yasihamba phambi kwabo emini ngensika yeyezi ukubakhokhela endleleni, lebusuku ngensika yomlilo ukubakhanyiselaz, ukuze bahambe emini lebusuku. 22 Kayiyisusanga insika yeyezi emini, lensika yomlilo ebusuku, phambi kwabantu.
