1 USimakade wathi kuMose: “Manje uzokubona engizokwenza kuFaro. Uzobadedela bahambe, ngenxa yesandla esinamandla; ngesandla esinamandla uzobaxosha ezweni lakhe.”
UNkulunkulu Umbiza Okwesibili UMose Uqoka No-Aroni2 UNkulunkulu wakhuluma noMose, wathi kuye: “NginguSimakade.
3 Ngabonakala ku-Abhrahama, ku-Isaka, nakuJakobe njengoNkulunkulu uSomandla, kodwa igama lami, ‘uSimakade’ angibazisanga lona.
4 Ngenza isivumelwano nabo sokubanika iKhanani, izwe ababehlala kulo njengabafokazi.
5 Ngikuzwile futhi ukububula kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli abenziwe izigqila ngabaseGibhithe, ngase ngisikhumbula isivumelwano sami.
6 Ngakho-ke yisho kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘NginguSimakade, ngiyakunikhulula emithwalweni yabaseGibhithe, nginikhulule ekugqilazweni yibo, nginihlenge ngengalo eyeluliweyo nangezenzo ezinkulu zokwehlulela.
7 Ngizonithatha nibe ngabantu bami, futhi ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu. Niyokwazi ukuthi Mina Simakade nginguNkulunkulu wenu, onikhululile emithwalweni yabaseGibhithe.
8 Ngiyakuniyisa ezweni engafunga ukulinika u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka, noJakobe; ngiyakuninika lona libe yifa lenu. NginguSimakade.’ ”
9 UMose wakhuluma kanjalo kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, kodwa abazange bamlalele, ngenxa yezinhliziyo ezincane nokusebenza kanzima.
10 USimakade wakhuluma kuMose, ethi:
11 “Hamba ukhulume noFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ukuba avumele abakwa-Israyeli baphume ezweni lakhe.”
12 Kepha uMose waphendula uSimakade, wathi: “Abantu abazange bangilalele; uzongilalela kanjani uFaro nginezindebe ezingasokwanga kanje na?”
13USimakade wakhuluma kuMose no-Aroni ukuba bayale abantu bakwa-Israyeli noFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ukuba akhiphe abantu bakwa-Israyeli eGibhithe.

27 Yibo laba abakhuluma noFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe ukuba ikhiphe abantu bakwa-Israyeli eGibhithe, oMose no-Aroni.
28Ngosuku uSimakade akhuluma ngalo noMose eGibhithe,
29 uSimakade wathi kuye: “NginguSimakade, khuluma kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe konke engikutshela khona.”
30 Kepha uMose wathi phambi kukaSimakade: “Njengoba nginezindebe ezingasokwanga nje, uzongizwa kanjani uFaro na?”
