17. Nize nigcine umthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele; kuba kanye ngayo loo mini ndayikhupha imikhosi yenu ezweni laseYiputa; niwugcine loo mhla kwizizukulwana zenu, ube ngummiselo ongunaphakade.
18. Ngeyokuqala inyanga, ngosuku lweshumi elinesiné enyangeni leyo, ngokuhlwa, nodla izonka ezingenagwele, kude kuse kusuku lwamashumi omabini analunye lwenyanga leyo, ngokuhlwa.
19. Ze kungafunyanwa gwele ezindlwini zenu iintsuku ezisixhenxe; kuba bonke abadla into enegwele bonqanyulwa bangabikho ebandleni lakwaSirayeli, nokuba ngumphambukeli, nokuba ngozalelwe kuloo ndawo.
20. Yonke into enegwele nize ningayidli; emakhayeni enu onke nodla izonka ezingenagwele.
21. Wawabiza uMoses onke amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, wathi kuwo, Hambani niye, nizithabathele ixhwane ngokwemizalwane yenu, nixhele ipasika.
22. Nithabathe isipha sehisope,* nisithi nkxu egazini elisengqayini, niqabe emqadini nasemigubasini yomibini ngegazi elisengqayini; ke kuni ze kungaphumi mntu emnyango wendlu yakhe kude kusé.
23. UYehova uya kucanda, awabulale amaYiputa. Akulibona igazi emqadini nasemigubasini yomibini, wogqitha uYehova emnyango, angamvumeli umonakalisi ukuba angene ezindlwini zenu, abulale.
24. Wòligcina elo zwi libe ngummiselo kuwe, nakoonyana bakho kude kuse ephakadeni.
25. Nòthi, nakufika ezweni aya kuninika uYehova, njengoko watshoyo, niyigcine le nkonzo.
26. Kothi, xa bathe oonyana benu kuni,
27. Iyintoni na le nkonzo kuni? nithi ke, Ngumbingelelo wepasika kuYehova, owagqitha ezindlwini zoonyana bakaSirayeli eYiputa; ekubulaleni kwakhe amaYiputa, wazihlangula izindlu zethu.
28. Bathoba abantu, baqubuda. Bahamba oonyana bakaSirayeli, baya kwenza; njengoko uYehova wabawisela umthetho uMoses noAron, benjenjalo.
29. Kwathi ke phakathi kobusuku, uYehova wawabulala onke amazibulo ezweni laseYiputa, kwathabathela kowamazibulo kaFaro ohleliyo etroneni yakhe, kwasa kowamazibulo omthinjwa osentolongweni engumhadi, namazibulo onke eenkomo.
30. Wavuka uFaro ebusuku, yena nabakhonzi bakhe bonke, namaYiputa onke; kwabakho isikhalo esikhulu eYiputa; kuba akubangakho ndlu ingenamntu ufileyo.
31. Wabiza uMoses noAron ebusuku, wathi, Sukani niphume phakathi kwabantu bam, nina aba noonyana bakaSirayeli, nihambe niye kumkhonza uYehova, njengokutsho kwenu;
32. nempahla yenu emfutshane neenkomo zenu zithabatheni, njengoko natshoyo, nihambe; nam nindisikelele.
