18. Loo nto ilula emehlweni kaYehova; uya kuwanikela namaMowabhi esandleni senu.
19. Noyixabela yonke imizi enqatyisiweyo, nemizi yonke enyuliweyo, niyiwise yonke imithi emihle, niyidibelele yonke imithombo yamanzi, niwonakalise onke amasimi amahle ngamatye.
20. Kwathi kusasa, xa kunyuswa umnikelo wokudla, nanko kusiza amanzi, evela ngendlela yakwaEdom, ilizwe lazala amanzi.
21. Eva ke onke amaMowabhi ukuba benyukile ookumkani, besiza kulwa nawo, ahlaba umkhosi kwintanga yonke exhobayo nengaphezulu, ema emdeni.
22. Avuka kusasa, ilanga lithe chapha emanzini; amaMowabhi awabona amanzi phambi kwawo, ebomvu njengegazi; athi,
23. Ligazi le nto; ookumkani bachithene bodwa, babulalana. Nalo ke ixhoba, Mowabhi.
24. Afika ke emkhosini wakwaSirayeli; asuka amaSirayeli, awaxabela amaMowabhi, asaba wona ebusweni bawo, alingenela ilizwe, ehamba ewaxabela amaMowabhi.
25. Bayigungxula nemizi; emasimini onke amahle, elowo waphosa ilitye lakhe, bawazalisa, bayidibelela yonke imithombo yamanzi, bayiwisa yonke imithi emihle, kwada eKir-hareshete kwasala amatye ayo odwa; bayirhawula abasawuli, batsho kuyo.
26. Wabona ukumkani wamaMowabhi, ukuba impi imkhulele, wathabathela kuye amadoda angamakhulu asixhenxe arhola ikrele, ukuba atyhudise, abheke kukumkani wakwaEdom; ákaba nako.
27. Wathabatha unyana wakhe wamazibulo, obeya kuba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe, wamnyusa waba lidini elinyukayo phezu kodonga. Afikelwa buburhalarhume obukhulu amaSirayeli. Ancothuka kuye, abuyela ezweni lawo.
