1. UYakobi wahamba ngendlela yakhe; zaqubisana naye izithunywa zikaThixo.
2. Wathi uYakobi akuzibona, Ngumkhosi kaThixo lo; wathi igama laloo ndawo yiMahanayim.*
3. Ke kaloku uYakobi wathuma abathunywa phambi kwakhe, baya kuEsawu, umkhuluwa wakhe, ezweni lakwaSehire, emhlabeni wakwaEdom.
4. Wabawisela umthetho esithi, Nòthi ukuthetha enkosini yam uEsawu, Utsho umkhonzi wakho uYakobi ukuthi, Bendingumphambukeli kuLabhan, ndalibala khona kwada kwangoku;
5. ndineenkomo, namaesile, nempahla emfutshane, nabakhonzi, nabakhonzazana; ndithumèle ukuxelela inkosi yam, ukuze indibabale.
6. Abathunywa babuyela kuYakobi besithi, Sifikile kumkhuluwa wakho uEsawu, naye uyeza kukukhawulela, enamadoda angamakhulu omané.
7. Woyika kunene uYakobi, wabandezeleka, wabahlula abantu ababenaye, nempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, neenkamela; iimfuduka zambini.
8. Wathi, Ukuba uEsawu uthe wafika kwenye imfuduka, wayichitha, yosinda imfuduka eseleyo.
9. Wathi uYakobi, Thixo kabawo uAbraham, Thixo kabawo uIsaka, Yehova, ùthe kum, Buyela ezweni lakowenu, kwelokuzalwa kwakho; ndokuphatha kakuhle.
10. Andiyilingene inceba yonke, nenyaniso yonke oyenzileyo kumkhonzi wakho; kuba ndayiwela le Yordan, ndinentonga yam yodwa, kodwa ngoku ndimfuduka mbini.
11. Khawundihlangule esandleni somkhuluwa wam, esandleni sikaEsawu; ngokuba ndiyamoyika, hleze afike andibulale, unina ndawonye nabantwana.
12. Wawuthe wena, Inene, ndiya kukuphatha kakuhle, imbewu yakho ndiyenze ibe njengentlabathi yolwandle, engenakubalwa ngenxa yobuninzi.
