5 Enyuma w’aho, Musa na Haruni mubaya eyiri Farao n’erimubwira bati: “Yehova oMungu wa Israeli ati, ‘Uleke abandu baghe baghende, bayanikolere ekiro kikulu omo mbwarara.’”
2 Nikwa Farao mwabugha ati: “Yehova nindi, muti nyowe omulenge wiwe n’erileka Abaisraeli baghende? Sinasi Yehova wenyu oyo n’ahake kandi sinendileka Abaisraeli baghende.”
3 Aliwe mubabugha bati: “OMungu w’Abaebrania abirikania netu. Kisi tukakusaba, utulighire tughende omo mbwarara olughendo lw’ebiro bisatu eriyaherera Yehova Mungu wetu y’amahere; twamatendikola tutya inyakenditutumako amakoni kutse eritwita omo muyali.”
4 Neryo omwami we Misri mwabasubirya ati: “Musa na Haruni, busanaki mukalusaya abandu b’oko mubiiri* wabo? Musube oko mibiiri yenyu.”
5 Farao mwatomekako ati: “Munalangire ngoko abandu aba ni bangyi omo kihugho, neryo mwanzire ibaluhuka oko mubiiri wabo?”
6 Ekiro ekyo kisa-kisa, Farao mwabwira abakimanira emibiiri n’abakulu b’abakoli ati:
7 “Muleke eribya mukasyaha abandu aba b’obunyatsi bakakokotya esyombiriki; babye bakayayironderabo.
8 Aliwe litolere imwabasaba erikokotya emighanzo y’esyombiriki singana n’esyo banabya bakakokotya, isimwakehaya kusyo; kusangwa balimubya baghata,* ekyo kyo kikaleka ibalira-lira bati, ‘Twanzire erighenda eriyaherera oMungu wetu y’amahere.’
9 Muhebo omubiiri owakalire kutsibu okw’aho. Mukolesayebo kutsibu; sibahulikirire ebinywa-binywa by’amabehi.”
10 Abimaniri b’omubiiri n’abakulu b’abakoli mubayabwira abandu bati: “Farao ati, ‘Sinendisyabya ngabaha obunyatsi.
11 Mughende muyironderaye obunyatsi ehosi-hosi eyo mwangasungabo, aliwe emibiiri yenyu siyendikehibwako n’ahake.’”
12 Neryo abandu mubayitsatsanga omo kihugho kyosi kye Misri bamayakuma-kuma ebiti ebyumire* erikolesyabyo omo mwanya w’obunyatsi.
13 Abimaniri b’omubiiri mubabya bakababwira bati: “Litolere obuli mundu iniabya akabugha obuli mubiiri owasabirwe erikola obuli kiro ng’omughulu mwabya imukinahabawa obunyatsi.”
14 N’abakulu b’emibiiri, Abaisraeli, abo abimaniri b’omubiiri ba Farao bahiraho mubahunzwa. Abimaniri b’omubiiri mubabulyabo bati: “Busanaki munabwire na muligholo simwetaghonerya emighanzo y’esyombiriki esyo mwabya mukakokotya embere?”
15 Neryo abakulu b’emibiiri, Abaisraeli, mubaya eyiri Farao n’eriyamulirira bati: “Busanaki ukatukolera utya itwe baghombe baghu?
16 Abaghombe baghu sibetabya bakahabwa obunyatsi, aliwe kandi banemutubwira bati, ‘Mukokotaye esyombiriki!’ Kandi abaghombe baghu banemuhunzwa, aliwe abandu baghu bo b’amakosa.”
17 Nikwa Farao mwasubirya ati: “Mwabiribya baghata!* Obo ni bughata bo bukababughisaya buti, ‘Twanzire erighenda, eriyaherera Yehova y’amahere.’
18 Mulue hano mughende, musube oko mubiiri, simwendihabwa obunyatsi aliwe litolere imwakokotya emighanzo y’esyombiriki eyo musabirwe.”
19 Neryo abakulu b’emibiiri, Abaisraeli, mubalangira ngoko emyatsi yabiribakalako, kusangwa bamabwirwa ambu: “Isimwakehaya oko mighanzo y’esyombiriki esyo musabirwe erikokotya oko kiro.”
20 Bakalua ewa Farao, mubahindana Musa na Haruni, ibanabalindire.
21 Mubalw’ibabwirabo bati: “Yehova alangire ekyo mwabiritukolera kandi abatswere. Mwabirileka Farao n’abaghombe biwe ibatupona* kandi mwabirihira omuyali omo byala byabo batoke eritwita.”
22 Neryo Musa mwalakira Yehova ati: “Yehova busanaki wabiryaghalya abandu aba? Busanaki mughukanituma?
23 Kusangwa erilua ekiro ningira ewa Farao erikania naye omo rina ryaghu, abiritasyaghalya abandu aba bo kutsibu, kandi naghu siwetalwira oko bandu baghu.”
