3 Mozisi akava mufudzi wemakwai atezvara vake Jetro,+ mupristi weMidhiyani. Paakanga achitungamirira makwai akananga kumavirira kwerenje, akazosvika kugomo raMwari wechokwadi, reHorebhi.+
2 Ngirozi yaJehovha yakabva yazviratidza kwaari iri murimi remoto pakati pegwenzi reminzwa.+ Paakaramba akatarisa, akaona kuti gwenzi racho reminzwa raibvira, asi rakanga risingatsvi.
3 Saka Mozisi akati: “Regai ndinoongorora chishamiso chandiri kuona ichi, kuti sei gwenzi racho risiri kutsva.”
4 Jehovha paakaona kuti aenda kunoona, akabva amushevedza ari pakati pegwenzi akati: “Mozisi! Mozisi!” iye akati: “Ndiri pano.”
5 Akabva ati: “Usaramba uchiswedera. Bvisa shangu dzako, nekuti nzvimbo yaumire itsvene.”
6 Akaenderera mberi achiti: “Ndini Mwari wababa vako, Mwari waAbrahamu,+ Mwari waIsaka,+ naMwari waJakobho.”+ Mozisi akabva avanza chiso chake, nekuti aitya kutarisa Mwari wechokwadi.
7 Jehovha akatizve: “Ndaona zvechokwadi kuti vanhu vangu vari kutambudzika muIjipiti, uye ndanzwa kuchema kwavo nemhaka yevaya vanovamanikidza kushanda; ndinonyatsoziva kurwadziwa kwavo.+
8 Ndichaburuka kunovanunura pamaoko evaIjipiti+ uye kunovabudisa munyika iyoyo, ndovaendesa kunyika yakanaka uye yakakura, nyika inoyerera uchi nemukaka,+ kunharaunda yevaKenani, vaHiti, vaAmori, vaPerizi, vaHivhi, nevaJebhusi.+
9 Saka chiona! Kuchema kwevaIsraeri kwasvika kwandiri, uyewo ndaona utsinye hwavari kuitirwa nevaIjipiti vachidzvinyirirwa.+
10 Iye zvino chiuya ndikutume kuna Farao, ubudise vanhu vangu, ivo vaIsraeri, muIjipiti.”+
11 Asi Mozisi akati kuna Mwari wechokwadi: “Ndiri aniwo zvangu kuti ndiende kuna Farao uye kuti ndinobudisa vaIsraeri muIjipiti?”
12 Iye akati: “Ndichava newe,+ uye ichi ndicho chiratidzo chekuti uzive kuti ndini ndakutuma: Kana wabudisa vanhu vacho muIjipiti, muchanamata* Mwari wechokwadi muri mugomo rino.”+
13 Asi Mozisi akati kuna Mwari wechokwadi: “Ngatitii ndasvika kuvaIsraeri ndoti kwavari, ‘Mwari wemadzitateguru enyu andituma kwamuri,’ ivo vobva vati kwandiri, ‘Anonzi ani?’+ Ndinofanira kuvapindura kuti chii?”
14 Mwari akabva ati kuna Mozisi: “Ndichava Zvandinenge Ndasarudza* Kuva.”*+ Akawedzera kuti: “Izvi ndizvo zvaunofanira kuudza vaIsraeri, ‘Ndichava andituma kwamuri.’”+
15 Mwari akabva atizve kuna Mozisi:
“Izvi ndizvo zvaunofanira kuudza vaIsraeri, ‘Jehovha, Mwari wemadzitateguru enyu, Mwari waAbrahamu,+ Mwari waIsaka,+ naMwari waJakobho,+ andituma kwamuri.’ Iri ndiro zita rangu nekusingaperi,+ uye ndiro randichayeukwa naro kwezvizvarwa nezvizvarwa.
16 Chienda unounganidza vakuru vaIsraeri, uti kwavari, ‘Jehovha Mwari wemadzitateguru enyu azviratidza kwandiri, Mwari waAbrahamu, Isaka, naJakobho, uye ati: “Ndanyatsoona zviri kuitika kwamuri+ uye zvamuri kuitirwa muIjipiti.
17 Saka ndiri kukuvimbisai kuti ndichakubvisai pakutambudzwa+ nevaIjipiti ndokuendesai kunyika yevaKenani, vaHiti, vaAmori,+ vaPerizi, vaHivhi, nevaJebhusi,+ nyika inoyerera uchi nemukaka.”’+
18 “Vachateerera inzwi rako,+ uye muchaenda kuna mambo weIjipiti, iwe nevakuru vaIsraeri, moti kwaari: ‘Jehovha Mwari wevaHebheru+ akataura nesu. Saka tinokumbirawo kuenda rwendo rwemazuva matatu kurenje kuti tinopa zvibayiro kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.’+
19 Asi ini ndinonyatsoziva kuti mambo weIjipiti haazokubvumirii kuenda, kunze kwekunge amanikidzwa neruoko rune simba.+
20 Saka ndichatambanudza ruoko rwangu ndorova Ijipiti nemabasa angu ese anoshamisa andichaita imomo, uye iye achabva akuregai muchienda.+
21 Uye ndichaita kuti vanhu ava vanzwirwe nyasha nevaIjipiti, zvekuti pamunoenda, hamuzoendi muchingova maoko chete.+
22 Mukadzi mumwe nemumwe anofanira kukumbira muvakidzani wake nemukadzi ari kugara mumba make zvinhu zvesirivha nezvegoridhe, pamwe chete nezvipfeko, uye muchazvipfekedza vanakomana venyu nevanasikana venyu; uye muchatuta zvinhu zvevaIjipiti.”+
