E a tle e re mmelegisi a ise a fitlhe kwa go bone, ba bo ba setse ba belege.” 20Babelegisi bao Modimo wa ba phedisa sentle, mme morafe wa Baiseraele wa ata, wa tia thata. 21Mme ya re ka babelegisi ba boifa Modimo, ona wa ba naya malapa a a tletseng bana. 22Ke fa Farao a laela morafe otlhe wa gagwe a re: “Basimane botlhe ba Bahebere ba ba tla tsalwang lo ba latlheleng mo nokeng ya Nile, mme basetsana botlhe lo ba lese ba phele!”
