12. UYifeta wasusa abathunywa, baya kukumkani woonyana baka-Amon, wathi, Yintoni na enam nawe, uzé kum nje ukuba ulwe nelizwe lam?
13. Wathi ukumkani woonyana baka-Amon kubathunywa bakaYifeta, Kungokuba amaSirayeli alithabatháyo ilizwe lam, ukunyuka kwawo eYiputa, athabathela eArnon, esa eYabhoki, esa eYordan; libuyise ngoxolo kalokunje.
14. UYifeta waphinda wathuma abathunywa kukumkani woonyaka baka-Amon,
15. wathi kuye, Utsho uYifeta ukuthi, AmaSirayeli akalithabathanga ilizwe lakwaMowabhi, nelizwe loonyana baka-Amon;
16. ngokuba ekunyukeni kwawo eYiputa amaSirayeli ahamba ngentlango, eza eLwandle oluBomvu,* eza eKadeshe;
17. amaSirayeli athuma abathunywa kukumkani wakwaEdom, esithi, Makhe ndicande ezweni lakho. Ke ukumkani wakwaEdom akaphulaphulanga. Athuma nakukumkani wakwaMowabhi, naye akavumanga. Ahlala amaSirayeli eKadeshe.
18. Ahamba entlango, alijikela ilizwe lakwaEdom nelizwe lakwaMowabhi, evela ekuphumeni kwelanga; aya ezweni lakwaMowabhi, amisa ngaphesheya kweArnon, àkangena emdeni wakwaMowabhi, ngokuba iArnon ngumda wakwaMowabhi.
19. AmaSirayeli athuma abathunywa kuSihon, ukumkani wama-Amori, ukumkani waseHeshbhon; athi amaSirayeli kuye, Makhe ndicande ezweni lakho, ndiye endaweni yam.
20. Ke uSihon akakholwa ngamaSirayeli, ukuba acande emdeni wakhe. Wabahlanganisa uSihon bonke abantu bakhe, bamisa eYatsa, walwa namaSirayeli.
21. UYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, wamnikela uSihon nabantu bakhe bonke, esandleni samaSirayeli. Ababulala, alihlutha amaSirayeli lonke ilizwe lama-Amori abehleli kweli lizwe.
22. Awuhlutha wonke umda wama-Amori, athabathela eArnon esa eYabhoki, athabathela entlango esa eYordan.
23. Kaloku uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, uwagqogqile ama-Amori phambi kwabantu bakhe amaSirayeli. Ùya kulihlutha na ke wena?
24. Akuhluthi elo na, akuhluthele lona uKemoshe* uthixo wakho? Nathi síhluthe lonke asihluthele lona uYehova uThixo wethu ebusweni bethu?
25. Ngoku wena ulunge ngaphezu koBhalaki unyana kaTsipore, ukumkani wakwaMowabhi, yini na? Wákha wabambana nokubambana na yena namaSirayeli, wakha walwa nokulwa na yena nawo?
26. Ekuhlaleni kwamaSirayeli eHeshbhon nasemagxamesini ayo, naseArohere nasemagxamesini ayo, nasemizini yonke esemacaleni eArnon iminyaka emakhulu mathathu, ibiyini na ukuba ningayihlanguli ngelo xesha?
27. Mna andikonanga; nguwe ondenza into embi ngokulwa nam. UYehova uMgwebi makagwebe namhla phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli noonyana baka-Amon.
28. Ukumkani woonyana baka-Amon akawaphulaphula amazwi kaYifeta awawathumela kuye.
29. UMoya kaYehova wamfikela uYifeta, wacanda eGiliyadi nakwaManase, wacanda naseMizpa yaseGiliyadi; wesuka eMizpa yaseGiliyadi, wabangenela oonyana baka-Amon.
