¹Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Zvino muchaona zvandichaitira Farao, nekuti achavatendera kuenda noruoko rune simba, uchavadzinga munyika yake noruoko rune simba.

¹Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

²Mwari akataurawo naMozisi, akati kwaari, Ndini JEHOVHA.

²And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:

³Ndakazviratidza kuna Abhurahamu, nokunaIsaka, nokunaJakove, ndiri Mwari Wamasimbaose, asi ndakanga ndisingazikamwi navo nezita rangu rinonzi JEHOVHA.

³And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

⁴Zvino ndakasimbisa sungano yangu navo kuti ndivape nyika yeKanani, nyika youtorwa hwavo, mavakanga vari vatorwa.

⁴And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

⁵Ndakanzwa kugomba kwavana vaIsiraeri vakasungwa navaEgipita pauranda, ndikarangarira sungano yangu.

⁵And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

⁶Naizvozvo muti kuvana vaIsiraeri, Ndini Jehovha, ini ndichakubudisai pamirimo yavaEgipita, ndichakusunungurai pauranda hwenyu, ndichakudzikunurai noruoko rwakatambanudzwa, uye nokutonga kukuru.

⁶Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:

⁷Ndichakutorai imwi kuti muve vanhu vangu, ini ndichava Mwari wenyu, iye anokubudisai pamirimo yaEgipita.

⁷And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

⁸Ndichakuisai kunyika yandakasimudzira ruoko rwangu kuti ndiipe Abhurahamu, naIsaka, naJakove, ndichakupai iyo ive nhaka yenyu; ndini Jehovha.

⁸And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.

⁹Mozisi akataura saizvozvo kuvana vaIsiraeri, asi havana kuteerera Mozisi nokuda kweshungu dzomweya nedzouranda hwakanga huchirema.

⁹And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

¹⁰Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

¹⁰And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹¹Pinda, undotaura naFarao mambo weEgipita, kuti atendere vana vaIsiraeri kubuda munyika yake.

¹¹Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

¹²Mozisi akataura pamberi paJehovha, akati, Tarirai, vana vaIsiraeri havana kunditeerera; zvino Farao anganditeerera seiko, ini munhu ane miromo isina kudzingiswa?

¹²And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

¹³Ipapo Jehovha akataura naMozisi naAroni, akavatuma neshoko kuvana vaIsiraeri nokuna Farao, mambo weEgipita, kuti vabudise vana vaIsiraeri munyika yeEgipita.
