4 Kodwa uFaro kasoze alilalele. Ngizabeka isandla sami phezu kweGibhithe ngikhiphe amaxuku* ami, abantu bami bako-Israyeli, elizweni laseGibhithe ngezahlulelo+ ezinkulu.

4 Ngizavumela ukuthi inhliziyo kaFaro ibe lukhuni,+ uzabahlala izithende njalo ngizazikhazimulisa ngalokho engizakwenza kuFaro lakulo lonke ibutho lakhe.+ AmaGibhithe azakwazi sibili ukuthi nginguJehova.”+ Lakanye abako-Israyeli bakwenza ababekutsheliwe.

20 Kodwa khathesi awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu, sisindise esandleni sakhe ukuze yonke imibuso esemhlabeni yazi ukuthi nguwe wedwa uNkulunkulu, awu Jehova.”+

16 Uzahlasela abantu bami bako-Israyeli angathi ngamayezi agubuzele ilizwe. Ngensuku zokucina ngizakuletha elizweni lami ukuthi uzolihlasela.+ Ngalesosikhathi izizwe zizakwazi ukuthi mina ngingcwele nxa sezibone lokho engizakwenza kuwe Gogi.”’+

11 “Phela ibizo lami lizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe ilanga liphuma lize liyetshona.*+ Kuzatshiswa imihlatshelo kuzo zonke izindawo njalo kuzakwenziwa iminikelo ebizweni lami, ibe yisipho esihle, ngenxa yokuthi ibizo lami lizaphakanyiswa ezizweni,”+ kutsho uJehova wamabutho.
