Kusibe ne nshingo unowoshingwa mu mazhuba iyawo, kuzhe kwe kululwamisila bathu zojiwa zwinowojiwa nge mmwe ne mmwe. 17 Mulondolodze Nzano we Tjiwunga tjisina Mbidzo, ngoti mu zhuba ileli ndakadusa njudzi dzenyu mu shango ye Egipiti. Ndizo wali mulondolodze zhuba ileli mu zwizekugwana zose tjili ikumbuludzo nge kusingapele. 18 Mu mwedzi we kutanga, mu zhuba lawo le bugumi lina mazhuba ali manna mu madekwana alo muje tjiwunga tjisina mbidzo, mutjije kuswikila zhuba lawo le bumakumi mabili ana zhuba ling'ompela mu madekwana alo. 19 Mu mazhuba ali kutendeka kusiwang'we mbidzo mu ng'umba dzenyu; ngoti ha kungabe ne unoja tjakabidziwa, ali ntaya kene Iziraela nthu iwoyo unowodusiwa mu gubungano le Iziraela. 20 Musitongo ja tjimwe tjina mbidzo, mu magalo enyu wose muje tjiwunga tjisina mbidzo.”
Nzano we Kupinda pezhugwi we kutanga
21 Ipapo Mushe kadana batungamili be Iziraela bose kabadwa kati, “Nsha mmwe ne mmwe uzwishalulile pkhwizana uibhaye ili tjibhayilo tje kupinda pezhugwi. 22 Mutole ntshwailo we ntinyana unoyi hisopu mudubike mu malopa ali mu ndilo, muazhodze pezhugwi kwe dendele ne mu makwasayile mabili e dendele, ngakusitongobe ne mmwe wenyu unobhudila kuzhe kwe ng'umba iye kuswikila tjimuka mangwanana. 23 Yahwe banowopinda benobulaya Baegipiti; ngono banowoti bebona malopa pezhugwi kwe dendele ne mu makwasayile e dendele banowopinda pezhugwi kwe dendele ilelo, abatowoletja unobulaya kubulaya engina mu ng'umba iyeyo kumubulaya. 24 Mulondolodze nzano iwoyu uli ikumbuludzo tjenyu ne bana benyu nge kusingapele. 25 Ndizo mowoti muswika mu shango yamunowopiwa ndi Yahwe sekwa bakagadzabgwe, mulondolodze nzano iwoyu. 26 Ngono bana benyu banowoti bemubhuzwa beti, ‘Nzano iwoyu unodwani kene?’ 27 Mowodabila muti, ‘Ikoku tjibhayilo tje kupinda pezhugwi kwa Yahwe, ngoti bakapinda pezhugwi kwe ng'umba dze bathu be Iziraela mu Egipiti pabakabe bebulaya Baegipiti koga bakasiya dzedu ng'umba.’ ” Ngono bathu bakakotamisa misholo yabo bakanamata. 28 Ipapo bathu be Iziraela bakayenda bakanoshinga sekwa kadwiwa Mushe na Aroni ndi Yahwe.
Mbano dzobulawa
29 Pakati kwe busiku Yahwe bakabulaya mbano dzose mu shango ye Egipiti, kudwa mu mbano ya Faro iye Mambo kunoti mu mbano ye nsungwa wakabe ali mu ng'umba ye busungwa ne zwithuwo zose zwakazwagwa kutanga. 30 Faro kamuka busiku iye ne makombgwa awe wose ne Baegipiti bose. Kukabe ne tjililo tjikulu mu Egipiti ngoti kwakabe kusina ng'umba ne ing'ompela isina mbano yafa. 31 Ndizo kadana Mushe na Aroni busiku kabadwa kati, “Milikani muyende mudwe pakati kwe bathu bangu, imwi mose ne bathu be Iziraela. Yendani munonamata Yahwe sekwa makaleba. 32 Tolani zwithuwo zwenyu sekwa makaleba muyende ngono mundikombolelebo.” 33 Baegipiti bakalibilidzila kudusa Baiziraela mu shango yabo ngoti bakazwidwa bakati, “Tafa tose.” 34 Ndizo Baiziraela bakatola fulawa yabo yakavangwa isathu ikabidziwa ili mu ndilo dzayo yakasungigwa mu matyila bakapika. 35 Bathu be Iziraela bakabe bathama sekwa bakabe badwiwa ndi Mushe, bakakumbila zwithu zwakathamiwa nge siliva ne golide mu Baegipiti ne zwiambalo. 36 Yahwe bakathama kuti bathu be Iziraela batetiwe mu mesho e Baegipiti, ndizo bakathama kuti bawane zwabakabe bakumbila.

37 Bathu be Iziraela bakatola gwendo kudwa ku Ramesesi kunoti ku Sukoti. Bakabe bali balume banoyenda nge makumbo bangabe zwiwulu zwili mazana ali matathatu 600 000, kuzhe kwe bakadzi ne bana. 38 Kwakabe kuna bathu banjinji bakashangashangana bakayenda nabo ne zwithuwo zwinjinji, ng'ombe ne pkhwizi ne mbudzi. 39 Ngono bakabhika zwiwunga nge fulawa yakabe isakabidziwa yabakabhuda nayo mu Egipiti ngoti bakadusiwa mu Egipiti ngolibilidza, kusina tjibaka ne mbuba basatubula kuzwilulwamisila iyo. 40 Bathu be Iziraela bakagala mu Egipiti makole ali mazana manna ana makole ali makumi matatu (430). 41 Kukati ku bupelo gwe makole iyawa ali mazana manna ana makole ali makumi matatu, mu zhuba ilelo koga bathu ba Yahwe bakabhuda mu shango ye Egipiti. 42 Gwakabe guli busiku gwe kulindila gwa Yahwe kubadusa mu shango ye Egipiti. Ndizo ndilo zwalo zhuba linolondolodzegwa Yahwe nge bathu bose be Iziraela kuswikila kuzwizekugwana zwabo.

Musitongo sengela imwe nyama kuzhe kwe ng'umba iyeyo inowobe yabhikigwa muili kakale musitongo ita ne fupa lamunovuna. 47 Gubungano lose le Iziraela likulondolodze. 48 Ngono ha kuna ntaya wamukumba eyemula kulondolodza Nzano Kupinda pezhugwi wa Yahwe, balume bose be nsha uwe ngabathumbigwe ndizo kudwa ipapo ungakulondolodza. Unowofanana koga ne Baiziraela. Koga kusitongobe ne nthu usakathumbigwa unokuja. 49 Kowobe ne nlayo nng'ompela koga pakati kwe nzwale ne ntaya wamukumba ali pakati kwenyu. 50 Ndizo bathu bose be Iziraela bakashinga kose kwakabe kwadwiwa Mushe na Aroni. 51 Ngono mu zhuba ilelo Yahwe bakadusa bathu be Iziraela mu shango ye Egipiti nge njudzi dzabo.”
