1. Ngokusingisele kwelakwaMowabhi, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi:Yeha iNebho, ngokuba ibhuqiwe. Ihlazisiwe, ithinjiwe iKiriyatayim; ihlazekile, iqhiphuke umbilini ingxonde leyo.
2. Iqhayiya lakwaMowabhi alisekho; eHeshbhon bacebe ububi ngaye, bathi, Yizani simnqumle, angabi luhlanga. Nawe, Mademena, uya kudaka; ikrele liya kukulandela.
3. Phulaphulani ukukhala eHoronayim! Yimbuqo nokwaphuka okukhulu!
4. UMowabhi waphukile, iimbedlenge zakhe zivakala zikhala.
5. Ngokuba ekunyukeni eqhineni laseLuhoti, baya kulila, balile; ngokuba ekuhlèni eHoronayim ababandezelwa baya kuvakala bekhaliswa kukwaphulwa.
6. Sabani, sizani imiphefumlo yenu, yibani njengoze entlango.
7. Ngenxa enokuba ùkholose ngezenzo zakho nangobuncwane bakho, nawe uya kuthinjwa, aphume afuduswe uKemoshe,* ababingeleli bakhe nabathetheli bakhe kunye.
