1 Umthwaloa welizwi leNkosi kuIsrayelib ngesandla sikaMalaki. 2 Ngilithandilec, itsho iNkosi. Kodwa lithi: Usithande ngani? UEsawud kasuye yini umfowabo kaJakobe? itsho iNkosi. Kanti ngamthanda uJakobe,e 3 loEsawu ngamzondaf; ngenzag izintaba zakhe incithakalo, lelifah lakhe laba ngelamakhankai enkangala. 4 Lanxa uEdoma esithi: Senziwe abayangaj, kodwa sizabuyela siyekwakha amanxiwa; itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Bonak bangakha, kodwa mina ngizadiliza, njalo bazababiza ngokuthi: Ngumngcelel wobubi, labantum iNkosi ebathukutheleleyo kuze kube phakade. 5 Lamehlon enu azabona, lani lithi: INkosio izakhuliswa kusukela ngaphetsheya komngcelep wakoIsrayeli.

6 Indodanaq iyamhlonipha uyise, lenceku inkosi yayo. Uba-ker nginguyihlo, kungaphi ukuhlonitshwa kwami? Uba-kes ngiyiNkosi, kungaphi ukwesatshwa kwami? itsho iNkosi yamabandla kinit, bapristi elidelela ibizo lami; kodwau lithiv: Silidelele ngani ibizo lakho? 7 Lisondezaw isinkwax esingcolileyoy phezu kwelathi lami, lisithiz: Sikungcolise ngani? Ngokuthi kwenu: Itafulaa leNkosi liyadeleleka. 8 Njalo nxa lisondezab okuyisiphofuc kube ngumhlatshelo, kakukubi yini? Lalapho lisondeza okuqhulayo lokugulayod, kakukubi yini? Ake ukusondeze kumbusi wakhoe; angathokoza ngawe yini, kumbe angabemukelaf yini ubuso bakho? itsho iNkosi yamabandla. 9 Khathesi-ke ake lincenge ubuso bukaNkulunkulu ukuze abe lomusa kithi; lokhug kube ngesandla senu; uzabemukelah ubuso benu yini? itsho iNkosi yamabandla. 10 Ngubanii okhona ngitsho phakathi kwenu ongavala izivalo? Njalo lingabaseli ize umlilo phezu kwelathi lami. Kangithokozi ngani, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo kangiyikwemukelaj umnikelo esandleni senu ngentokozo. 11 Ngobak kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo, ibizol lami lizakuba likhulu phakathim kwezizwe; lakuyon yonke indawo impephao izatshiselwap ibizo lami, lomnikeloq ohlambulukileyor; ngobas ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathit kwezizwe, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.

12 Kodwa liyalingcolisa ngokuthi kwenu: Itafulau leNkosi lingcolisiwe; lesithelo salo, ukudla kwalo, kudelelekilev. 13 Njalo lithi: Khangela, ukudinisaw okungakanani! Njalox likuchilela amakhala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; njalo lilethe impangoy, lokuqhulayoz, lokugulayoa; ngokunjalo lilethe umnikelo. Ngikwemukeleb lokhu yini ngokuthokoza esandleni senu? itsho iNkosi. 14 Kaqalekiswe-ke umkhohlisi oledunac emhlanjini wakhe, ofunga ahlabele iNkosi okonakeleyod; ngoba ngiyiNkosi enkulue, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lebizo lami liyesabekaf phakathi kwezizwe.
