INkosi uJehova ithi nge-Edomi; Sizwile ilizwi elivela kuSomnini, begodu isithunywa sithunyelwe eenarheni: Sukumani sivukele epini. 2 Khangela, ngikwenzile omncani hlangana neentjhaba, udelelwa khulu. 3 Ukuzikhakhazisa kwehliziywakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala emifantwini yedwala, indawo yokuhlala iphakeme; othi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Ngubani ozongiwisa phasi na?” 4 Lanxa ungaziphakamisela njengokhozi, loba ungabeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwenkanyezi, ngizakwehlisa lapho,” kutsho uJehova. 5Uma amasela eza kuwe, uba amasela ebusuku, (ubhujiswa njani!) ngabe angeze bantshontsha beze banane na? Aluba abavuni bamadiribe beza kuwe, bangeze batjhiya amanye amadiribe na? 6 Izinto zaka-Esawu zihlolisiswe njani! izinto zakhe ezifihlekileko zifunwa njani! 7Wonke amadoda ahlangana nawe akulethe emngceleni, amadoda ayenokuthula nawe akukhohlisile, akuhlula; labo abadla isinkwa sakho bafake isilonda ngaphasi kwakho; 8Ngalolosuku, kutsho uJehova, kangiyikubhubhisa yini abahlakaniphileyo e-Edomi, lokuqedisisa entabeni ka-Esawu? 9Njalo amaqhawe akho, wena Temani, azakwethuka, ukuze wonke umuntu waseNtabeni ka-Esawu abulawe. 10 Ngenxa yobudlova bakho kumfowenu uJakobe ihlazo lizakusibekela, ukhutjhwe unomphela. 11 Ngelanga owawumi ngalo ngaphetjheya, ngelanga abafokazi bathumba ngalo amabutho wakhe, nabafokazi bangena emasangweni wakhe, benza inkatho ngeJerusalema, wena bewunjengomunye wabo. 12 Kodwana wena bekungakafaneli bona uqale ilanga lomfowenu mhla aba mfokazi; begodu bewungafaneli bona uthokozele abantwana bakwaJuda ngelanga lokubhujiswa kwabo; Bekungakafaneli bona ukhulume ngokuzikhakhazisa ngelanga lokutlhaga. 13 Bekungakafaneli bona ungene esangweni labantu bami ngelanga lenhlekelele yabo; iye, bewungeze waqala ukutshwenyeka kwabo ngelanga lokuhlupheka kwabo, namkha ubeke izandla phezu kwepahla yabo ngelanga lokuhlupheka kwabo; 14 Bekungakafaneli bona ume ephambukeni, ukuqeda labo abaphunyukileko bakhe; begodu bewungeze wanikela labo abaseleko ngelanga lokutlhaga. 15 Ngoba usuku lukaJehova luseduze phezu kwazo zonke izizwe: njengoba wenze, kuzakwenziwa kuwe; umvuzo wakho uzabuyela phezu kwekhanda lakho. 16Njengombana linatha entabeni yami ecwengileko, ngokunjalo zoke iintjhaba zizakunatha qobe, iye, zizanatha, ziginye, zibe njengokungathi bezingakabi khona. 17 Kodwana eNtabeni yeZiyoni kuzakuba nokukhululwa, kube nobungcwele; nendlu kaJakopo izakudla ilifa layo. 18Indlu kaJakobe izakuba ngumlilo, lendlu kaJosefa ibe lilangabi, lendlu ka-Esawu ibe yikhoba, bavuthe phakathi kwayo, baqede; begodu angeze kwaba nokusala endlini ka-Esawu; ngombana uSomnini ukhulumile. 19 Abaseningizimu bazakuthatha intaba ka-Esawu; namaFilisti wethafa, bazakuthatha amasimu kaEfrayimi namasimu weSamariya, noBhenjamini uzakuthatha iGileyadi. 20 Ukuthunjwa kwalelibutho labantwana bakwa-Israyeli bazakuthatha ilizwe lamaKhanani ukuya eZarefathi; begodu abathunjiweko beJerusalema, eseSefaradi, bazakuthatha imizi yeSewula. 21 Njalo abasindisi bazakwenyukela entabeni iZiyoni ukwahlulela intaba ka-Esawu; umbuso uzakuba ngekaSomnini.
