14 Yehova nomba aebele Mose ati:
2 “Eba abena Israele ukuti baluluke kabili bapange inkambi pa Pihahirote, pa kati ka Migidole na bemba, mupepi na Baali-sefone.+ Mupangile iyi inkambi apalungatana ne yi incende, mu lulamba lwa bemba.
3 Lyena Farao akalanda ukuti abena Israele, ‘Bale-endauka fye mu calo pantu nabafulungana. Tabakwete kwa kuya mu matololo.’
4 Nkaleka Farao akatalamike umutima wakwe,+ kabili akabakonka, lyena nkalenga ishina lyandi likacindikwe ilyo nkacimfya Farao na bashilika bakwe bonse;+ kabili abena Egupti bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.”+ E ico abena Israele bacitile ifyo babebele.
5 Pa numa kwali abaebele imfumu ya Egupti ukuti abantu balibutwike. Ilyo line Farao na babomfi bakwe bayalwile ifyo baletontonkanya,+ kabili batile: “Cinshi twalekeele abasha besu abena Israele baya?”
6 E ico apekenye amaceleta yakwe aya nkondo, kabili aile pamo na bantu bakwe.+
7 Asendele amaceleta 600 ayo acetekele sana e lyo na maceleta yonse aya mu Egupti, kabili mu maceleta yonse mwali abashilika.
8 E fyo Yehova alekele umutima wa kwa Farao imfumu ya Egupti watalama, kabili Farao akonkele abena Israele. Nomba abena Israele bena baleya fye ukwabula ukutiina nangu cimo.*+
9 Abena Egupti balikonkele abena Israele,+ kabili bakabalwe bonse abaletinta amaceleta ya kwa Farao na baninine pali bakabalwe bakwe na bashilika bakwe baile balepalamina apo abena Israele bapangiile inkambi mu lulamba lwa bemba, mupepi na Pihahirote apalungatana na Baali-sefone.
10 Ilyo Farao apaleme, abena Israele bainwine amenso no kumona abena Egupti balebakonka. Abena Israele batiinine nga nshi kabili batendeke ukulilila Yehova.+
11 Baipwishe Mose abati: “Cinshi ico watuletele muno mu matololo, bushe nico mu Egupti tamwaba inshiishi?+ Cinshi watufumiishe mu Egupti?
12 Bushe ilyo twali mu Egupti tatwakwebele ukuti, ‘Utuleke fye fwe bene tulebombela abena Egupti’? Pantu cawamapo ukubombela abena Egupti ukucila ukwisafwila mu matololo.”+
13 Lyena Mose aebele abantu ati: “Mwitiina.+ Iminineni ndi, mumone ifyo Yehova alamupususha lelo.+ Pantu abena Egupti abo mulemona lelo, tamwakabamonepo na kabili.+
14 Yehova e walamulwila,+ imwe mwikale fye tondolo.”
15 Nomba Yehova aebele Mose ati: “Leka ukundilila. Eba abena Israele ukuti beme baleya.
16 Lelo iwe, imya inkonto yobe no kutambalika ukuboko kobe pali bemba pa kuti bemba akanikane pabili, pa kuti abena Israele bende panshi ya bemba apauma.
17 Lelo ine, nalaleka imitima ya bena Egupti italame, pa kuti babakonke; e ico nalalenga ishina lyandi licindikwe ilyo nalalofya Farao na mabumba ya bashilika bakwe bonse, amaceleta yakwe aya nkondo, na baume ba pali bakabalwe bakwe.+
18 Kabili abena Egupti balaishiba ukuti nine Yehova ilyo nalalenga ishina lyandi licindikwe pantu nalalofya Farao, amaceleta yakwe aya nkondo, na baume ba pali bakabalwe bakwe.”+
19 Lyena malaika wa kwa Lesa wa cine+ uwaletangilila abena Israele aile ku numa yabo, ne ntumba ye kumbi iyali ku ntanshi yabo yaile ku numa yabo, yaiminina no kwiminina.+
20 E ico yaishile pa kati ka bena Egupti na bena Israele.+ Lubali lumo yali likumbi ilyafiita. Lubali lumbi yalesanika ubushiku.+ Kanshi abena Egupti tabapaleme ku bena Israele ubushiku bonse.
21 Mose nomba atambalike ukuboko kwakwe pali bemba;+ kabili Yehova alengele umwela uwa maka uwa ku kabanga wapuupa ubushiku bonse ica kuti wasunkila amenshi ya muli bemba ku numa. Ici calengele panshi ya bemba pauma,+ kabili amenshi ya-akanikene pabili.+
22 E ico abena Israele bapitile mu kati ka bemba pa mushili uwauma,+ ninshi amenshi nayapanga icibumba ku kulyo na ku kuso.+
23 Abena Egupti balibakonkele, kabili bakabalwe bonse aba kwa Farao, amaceleta yakwe aya nkondo, na baume ba pali bakabalwe bakwe batendeke ukubakonka mu kati ka bemba.+
24 Mu nshita ya bulinde bwa lucelo,* Yehova aloleshe pa bena Egupti ukufuma mu ntumba ya mulilo ne ye kumbi,+ kabili afulungenye abena Egupti.
25 Alesokola imipeto ku maceleta yabo ica kuti yalabafya ukwensha, kabili abena Egupti batendeke ukulanda abati: “Natufulumuke, pantu Yehova alelwilako abena Israele.”+
26 Lyena Yehova aebele Mose ati: “Tambalika ukuboko kobe pali bemba, pa kuti amenshi yabwelele pa bena Egupti, pa maceleta yabo aya nkondo, na pa baume ba pali bakabalwe babo.”
27 Ilyo fye Mose atambalike ukuboko kwakwe pali bemba, kabili ilyo bwaleya buleca, amenshi yalibwelele no kupuminkana nga filya fine yali kale. Cilya abena Egupti batendeka ukufulumuka pa mulandu wa kutiina amenshi, Yehova e pa kubapenwina muli bemba.+
28 Amenshi ayabwelele yabunshishe amaceleta ya nkondo na baume ba pali bakabalwe na bashilika ba kwa Farao bonse abakonkele abena Israele muli bemba.+ Takwali nangu umo uwapuswike.+
29 Lelo abena Israele bena baendele muli bemba pa mushili uwauma,+ kabili amenshi yapangile icibumba ku kulyo na ku kuso.+
30 E fyo Yehova apuswishe Israele ku bena Egupti pa bushiku bulya,+ kabili Israele amwene abena Egupti nabafwa mu lulamba lwa bemba.
31 Na kabili Israele alimwene amaka ayengi* ayo Yehova abomfeshe pa bena Egupti. E ico abantu batendeke ukutiina Yehova kabili batetekeele Yehova na Mose umubomfi wakwe.+
