| 2. | Yabonani, ndikwenze wamncinane ezintlangeni, udelekile kakhulu. |
| 3. | Ukukhukhumala kwentliziyo yakho kukulukuhlile, wena uhleliyo emfanteni wengxondorha, okhaya liphezulu, othi entliziyweni yakhe, Ngubani na oya kundihlisela ehlabathini? |
| 4. | Ukuba uthe wakhela phezulu njengexhalanga, nokuba ithe indlu yakho yabekwa phakathi kweenkwenkwezi, ndokuhlisa nalapho; utsho uYehova. |
| 5. | Ukuba amasela ebethe eza kuwe, ukuba amanyangaza ebethe eza ebusuku (hayi, ukunqunyulwa kwakho!), ebengayi kuba anele na? Ukuba babethe beza kuwe abavuni beediliya, babengayi kushiya okungabhikicwayo na? |
| 6. | Hayi, ukuphengululeka kwezinto zakwaEsawu! Hayi ukukhanukwa kwezinto zakhe eziqhushekiweyo! |

| 9. | Aya kuqhiphuka umbilini amagorha akho, Teman, ukuze banqanyulwe bonke ezintabeni zakwaEsawu ngokubulawa. |
| 10. | Ngenxa yokumgonyamela kwakho umninawa wakho uYakobi, kuya kukugubungela ukudana, unqanyulwe ngonaphakade. |
| 11. | Ngemini owabumi malunga naye, mini abasemzini bathimba ubutyebi bakhe, abolunye uhlanga beza emasangweni akhe, bayenzela amaqashiso iYerusalem: nawe wawunjengomnye wabo. |
| 12. | Musa ukukhangela kwimini yomninawa wakho ngemini yeshwangusha lakhe, ungabavuyeleli oonyana bakaYuda ngemini yenkxwaleko yabo; ungasineki ngemini yembandezelo. |
| 13. | Musa ukungena esangweni labantu bam ngemini yeshwangusha labo, ungakhangeli nawe ebubini babo ngemini yeshwangusha labo, ungasi sandla ebutyebini babo ngemini yeshwangusha labo. |
| 14. | Musa ukuma ekwahlukaneni kweendlela, ukuze unqumle abasabayo bakubo; ungabanikeli abaseleyo bakubo ngemini yembandezelo. |
| 15. | Ngokuba isondele imini kaYehova kuzo zonke iintlanga. Njengoko wenze ngako, kuya kwenjiwa njalo kuwe; okwenzileyo kuya kubuyela entlokweni yakho. |
| 16. | Ngokuba njengoko nisele ngako entabeni yam engcwele, ziya kuhlala zisela ngokunjalo zonke iintlanga, zisele zibizele, zibe njengabangabangakho. |
| 17. | Ke, entabeni yeZiyon kuya kubakho okusindileyo, kube yingcwele; indlu kaYakobi izihluthe iindawo eyazihluthwayo. |
| 18. | Indlu kaYakobi iya kuba ngumlilo, nendlu kaYosefu ibe lilangatye; indlu kaEsawu ibe ziindiza, batshise phakathi kwabo, babadle, kungabikho usalayo wasendlwini kaEsawu; ngokuba uYehova uthethile. |
| 19. | Abakwelasezantsi bozithimba iintaba zakwaEsawu; nabasezithabazini bahluthe amaFilisti; bahluthe isisimi sakwaEfrayim, nesisimi sakwaSamari; uBhenjamin ahluthe elaseGiliyadi. |
| 20. | Abathinjwa bakule mpi yonyana bakaSirayeli baya kubahlutha abangamaKanan, bade base eTsarefa, abathinjwa baseYerusalem abaseSefaradi bahluthe imizi yelasezantsi. |
| 21. | Konyuka abasindisi entabeni yeZiyon, ukuze bazigwebe iintaba zakwaEsawu, ubukumkani bube bobu kaYehova. |
