30 Na kabili Yehova anjebele ati: 2 “We mwana wa muntu, sesema kabili landa auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila:
“Loosheni amuti, ‘Iye ubushiku buleisa!’
3 Pantu ubushiku nabupalama, ubushiku bwa kwa Yehova nabupalama.+
Bukaba bushiku bwa makumbi,+ kabili ikaba ni nshita ya kupingula abena fyalo.+
4 Ulupanga lukasansa Egupti, kabili aba ku Etiopia bakomfwa umwenso pa mulandu na bantu abo bakepaya mu Egupti;
Ifyuma fyabo bakafisenda kabili imifula yabo bakayonaula.+
5 Etiopia,+ Puti,+ Ludi na bonse aba mu nko shimbi,
Kabili Kubu na bana baume ba mu calo ico napangana na co icipangano,*
Bonse bakafwa ku lupanga.”’
6 Yehova atila:
‘Abatungilila Egupti nabo bakafwa,
Kabili amaka yakwe ayo ayumfwilapo yakapwa.’+
“‘Akafwa ku lupanga ukutula ku Migdole+ ukufika ku Syene,’+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda. 7 ‘Icalo cikaba sana icibolya ukucila ifyalo fyonse ifyaba ifibolya, kabili imisumba ya ciko ikonaulwa sana ukucila ifyo imisumba imbi yaonaulwa.+ 8 Kabili bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova ilyo nkasonteka umulilo mu Egupti kabili ilyo abamutungilila bonse bakonaulwa. 9 Muli ubo bushiku, nkatuma inkombe mu mato pa kuti shikayelenga Etiopia uwacilamo ukuicetekela akatutume; bakomfwa umwenso muli bulya bushiku ubukeshila Egupti, pantu nangu cibe shani, bukesa.’
10 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Nkalenga Imfumu Nebukadnesari* iya ku Babiloni+ ikalofye amabumba ya bantu ayakalamba aya mu Egupti. 11 Yena na bashilika ba iko, abakalukisha pa nko shonse+ bakesa no kwisaonaula ici calo. Bakasomwena Egupti ulupanga, kabili icalo conse cikesulamo abantu abo bakepaya.+ 12 Nkalenga imifoolo ya mu mumana wa Naelo+ ikakame, kabili icalo nkacipeela* mu minwe ya baume abacita ifyabipa. Nkalenga aba ku calo cimbi+ bakonaule icalo na fyonse ifyabamo. Ine ne Yehova ninanda.’
13 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Nkonaula utulubi twabo utwa bunani* kabili nkalofya tulesa twa fye utwa ku Nofu.*+ Mu calo ca Egupti tamwakatale amufuma cilolo,* kabili nkalenga icalo ca Egupti cikabe no mwenso.+ 14 Nkonaula Patrose,+ nkasonteka umulilo mu Soani kabili nkapingula No.*+ 15 Nkapongolwela ubukali bwandi pali Sini, umusumba uo Egupti ashintililamo, kabili nkalofya abantu ba mu musumba wa No. 16 Nkasonteka umulilo mu Egupti; kabili Sini akekatwa umwenso sana, umusumba wa No bakausansa e lyo Nofu* bakamusansa mu kasuba akatanda imono! 17 Abalumendo ba ku One* na ku Pibesete, bakafwa ku lupanga, kabili aba muli iyi misumba bakabasenda bunkole. 18 Ilyo nkafunaula amakoli ya ku Egupti,+ mu Tafne mukafiita. Amaka yakwe ayo ayumfwilapo yakapwa,+ amakumbi yakamufimba, kabili aba mu misumba yakwe bakabasenda bunkole.+ 19 Nkapingula Egupti, kabili bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.’”
20 Nomba mu mwaka walenga 11, pa bushiku bwalenga 7 mu mweshi wa kubalilapo, Yehova anjebele ati: 21 “We mwana wa muntu, nimfuna ukuboko kwa kwa Farao imfumu ya ku Egupti; tabakakukake pa kuti kupole nelyo ukukakako icisalu pa kuti kukose ica kutila kuti kwaikata no lupanga.”
22 “E ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Mona ndelwisha Farao imfumu ya ku Egupti,+ kabili nkafuna amaboko yakwe, ukutuntulu no kwafunika,+ kabili nkalenga ulupanga lukapone mu minwe yakwe.+ 23 Lyena nkasalanganishisha abena Egupti mu nko kabili nkabasalanganishisha mu fyalo.+ 24 Nkakosha amaboko* ya mfumu ya ku Babiloni,+ nkabika no lupanga lwandi mu minwe ya iko,+ kabili nkafuna amaboko ya kwa Farao. Lyena akateta nga nshi pa cinso ca iyi mfumu kwati mwaume uulefwa. 25 Nkakosha amaboko ya mfumu ya ku Babiloni, lelo amaboko ya kwa Farao yena yakatompoka; kabili bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova ilyo nkabika ulupanga lwandi mu minwe ya mfumu ya ku Babiloni kabili ilyo ikabomfya ulu ulupanga pa kusansa icalo ca Egupti.+ 26 Nkasalanganishisha abena Egupti mu nko kabili nkabasalanganishisha mu fyalo,+ e lyo bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.’”
