14 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, ² “Uza Aisraeli abwerere ndi kukagona pafupi ndi Pihahiroti, pakati pa Migidoli ndi nyanja. Inu mumange zithando mʼmbali mwa nyanja moyangʼanana ndi Baala-Zefoni. ³ Farao adzaganiza kuti ‘Aisraeli asokonezeka nʼkumangozungulirazungulira mu dzikomo, chipululu chitawazinga.’ ⁴ Ndidzawumitsa mtima wa Farao ndipo adzathamangira Aisraeliwo. Choncho ndikadzagonjetsa Farao ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, Ine ndidzalemekezedwa.” Choncho Aisraeli aja anachita zimenezi.

⁵ Farao, mfumu ya Igupto atamva kuti anthu aja athawa, iye pamodzi ndi nduna zake anasintha maganizo awo pa Israeli ndipo anati, “Ife tachita chiyani? Tawalola Aisraeli kuti apite ndi kuleka kutitumikira?” ⁶ Choncho anakonzetsa galeta lake ndipo ananyamuka pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake. ⁷ Iye anatenga magaleta 600 abwino kwambiri pamodzi ndi magaleta ena a dziko la Igupto. Anatenganso akuluakulu onse ankhondo. ⁸ Yehova anawumitsa mtima wa Farao mfumu ya dziko la Igupto, kotero iye anawathamangira Aisraeli amene ankachoka mʼdzikomo mosavutika. ⁹ Aigupto aja (kutanthauza akavalo ndi magaleta onse a Farao, okwera akavalowo pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo) analondola Aisraeli aja ndipo anakawapeza pamalo pamene anamanga zithando paja, mʼmbali mwa nyanja, pafupi ndi Pihahiroti, moyangʼanana ndi Baala-Zefoni.

¹⁰ Tsono Farao anayandikira. Ndipo Aisraeli ataona kuti Aigupto akuwatsatira, anachita mantha aakulu ndipo anafuwula kwa Yehova. ¹¹ Iwo anafunsa Mose kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chakuti kunalibe manda ku dziko la Igupto kuti iwe utibweretse muno mʼchipululu kuti tidzafe? Chimene watichitachi nʼchiyani, kutitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto? ¹² Kodi sindizo zimene tinakuwuza mʼdziko la Igupto? Ife tinati, ‘Tileke titumikire Aigupto?’ Zikanatikomera kutumikira Aigupto kulekana ndi kufa mʼchipululu muno.”

¹³ Mose anayankha anthu kuti, “Musachite mantha. Imani, ndipo muone chipulumutso chimene Yehova akuchitireni lero. Aigupto amene mukuwaona lerowa simudzawaonanso. ¹⁴ Yehova adzakumenyerani nkhondo. Inu mungokhala chete.”

¹⁵ Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Chifukwa chiyani ukufuwulira kwa ine? Uwuze Aisraeli aziyenda. ¹⁶ Nyamula ndodo yako ndi kutambasula dzanja lako kuloza ku nyanja, kugawa madzi kuti Aisraeli awoloke powuma. ¹⁷ Ine ndidzawumitsa mitima ya Aigupto kotero kuti adzatsatirabe Aisraeli. Ndipo ine ndikadzagonjetsa Farao ndi asilikali ake onse ankhondo, okwera magaleta ndi akavalo, ndidzapeza ulemerero. ¹⁸ Aigupto adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova akadzaona mmene ndipambanire Farao ndi magaleta ndi owayendetsa ake.”

¹⁹ Ndipo mngelo wa Mulungu amene amayenda patsogolo pa gulu lankhondo la Israeli anachoka ndi kupita kumbuyo kwawo. Chipilala cha mtambo chinasunthanso kuchoka kutsogolo ndi kupita kumbuyo kwawo. ²⁰ Choncho mtambowo unakhala pakati pa asilikali ankhondo a dziko la Igupto ndi a dziko la Israeli. Choncho panali mdima motero kuti magulu awiri ankhondowa sanathe kuyandikizana usiku wonse.

²¹ Kenaka Mose anatambalitsa dzanja lake pa nyanja, ndipo Yehova pogwiritsa ntchito mphepo yamphamvu ya kummawa imene inawomba usiku wonse anabweza madzi ndi kuwumitsa nyanja ija. Choncho nyanja ija inagawanika. ²² Ndipo Aisraeli anawoloka pakati pa nyanja powuma, madzi atasanduka khoma kumanja ndi kumanzere kwawo.

²³ Aigupto onse, Farao, ndi onse okwera pa magaleta ndi akavalo anawalondola ndipo analowa mʼmadzi. ²⁴ Kutatsala pangʼono kucha, Yehova ali mu chipilala chamoto ndi chamtambo, anayangʼana asilikali ankhondo a Igupto ndipo anabweretsa chisokonezo pakati pawo. ²⁵ Yehova anamanga matayala a magaleta kotero kuti ankavutika kuyenda. Ndipo Aigupto anati, “Tiyeni tiwathawe Aisraeli! Yehova akuwamenyera nkhondo kulimbana nafe.”

²⁶ Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tambasula dzanja lako pa nyanja kuti madzi amize Aigupto ndi magaleta awo ndi okwera pa akavalo.” ²⁷ Mose anatambasula dzanja lake pa nyanja, ndipo mmene kumacha nyanja inabwerera mʼmalo mwake. Aigupto pothawa anakumana nayo, ndipo Yehova anawakokera mʼnyanja momwemo. ²⁸ Madzi anabwerera ndi kumiza magaleta ndi okwera akavalo, asilikali ankhondo onse amene anatsatira Aisraeli mʼnyanja, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anapulumuka.

²⁹ Koma Aisraeli aja anawoloka nyanja pansi pali powuma, madzi atachita khoma kumanja ndi kumanzere kwawo. ³⁰ Tsiku limeneli Yehova anapulumutsa Israeli mʼmanja mwa Aigupto ndipo Israeli anaona Aigupto ali lambalamba mʼmbali mwa nyanja atafa ³¹ Choncho Aisraeli anaona dzanja lamphamvu la Yehova limene linagonjetsa Aigupto aja, ndipo iwo anaopa Yehova ndi kumukhulupirira pamodzi ndi mtumiki wake Mose.

“Ngati mʼbale wanu achimwa, mudzudzuleni, ndipo ngati alapa, mukhululukireni. ⁴ Ngati iye akulakwira kasanu ndi kawiri pa tsiku, ndipo ngati nʼkubweranso kwa iwe kasanu ndi kawiri nati, ‘Ndalapa,’ umukhululukire.”

⁵ Atumwiwo anati kwa Ambuye, “Kulitsani chikhulupiriro chathu!”

⁶ Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati muli ndi chikhulupiriro chachingʼono ngati kambewu kampiru, mukhoza kulamula mtengo wamkuyu uwu kuti, ‘Zulidwa ndi kukadzalidwa mʼnyanja,’ ndipo udzakumverani.

⁷ “Tiyerekeze kuti mmodzi mwa inu anali ndi wantchito wolima kapena woweta nkhosa, kodi angawuze wantchitoyo atabwera ku munda kuti, ‘Tsopano bwera kuno khala pansi kuti udye?’ ⁸ Kodi sangamuwuze kuti, ‘Konzere chakudya cha madzulo, iweyo ukonzeke ndipo undidikirire pamene ndikudya ndi kumwa; kenaka ukhoza kudya ndi kumwa?’ ⁹ Kodi iye angathokoze wantchitoyo chifukwa chochita chimene anawuzidwa kuchita? ¹⁰ Chimodzimodzi inunso, mukachita zonse zimene munawuzidwa, muzinena kuti, ‘Ndife antchito osayenera; tangogwira ntchito yathu basi.’ ”

¹⁷ Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi amene anachiritsidwa sanalipo khumi? Nanga asanu ndi anayi ena ali kuti? ¹⁸ Kodi palibe mmodzi mwa iwo amene anabwerera kudzalemekeza Mulungu kupatula mlendoyu?” ¹⁹ Pamenepo anati kwa iye, “Imirira ndipo pita; chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa iwe.”

²⁰ Ndipo Afarisi atamufunsa Iye kuti, ufumu wa Mulungu udzabwera liti, Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mulungu sakhazikitsa ufumu wake mooneka ndi maso, ²¹ kapenanso kuti anthu adzati, ‘Uwu uli apa,’ kapena ‘Uwo uli apo,’ Pakuti taonani ufumu wa Mulungu uli pakati panu.”

²² Kenaka Iye anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Masiku akubwera pamene inu mudzalakalaka mutaona tsiku limodzi la masiku a Mwana wa Munthu, koma simudzaliona. ²³ Anthu adzakuwuzani kuti, ‘Uyo ali apoyo!’ kapena ‘Uyu ali apa!’ Musawathamangire iwo. ²⁴ Pakuti monga mphenzi ingʼanima ndi kuwala kuchokera mbali ina ya thambo kufikira inzake, koteronso adzakhala ali Mwana wa Munthu pa tsiku lake. ²⁵ Koma poyamba ayenera kuzunzika mu zambiri ndi kukanidwa ndi mʼbado uno.
