,} ^c: Sukumani, kasimvukele empini! 2 Khangela, ngikwenze waba mncinyane phakathi kwezizwe ^d, udelelwe kakhulu ^e.

3 Ukuziqhenya kwenhliziyo yakho ^f kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala ezingoxweni zamadwala ^g, ondawo yakhe yokuhlala iphakeme ^h, othi enhliziyweni yakhe: Ngubani ozangehlisela emhlabathini ⁱ? 4 Loba uphakeme njengokhozi ^{j
,} ^k, njalo loba ubeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi ^{l
,} ^{m
,} ⁿ, ngizakwethula khona, itsho iNkosi ^o. 5 Uba amasela efika kuwe, loba abaphangi ebusuku ^p (uqunywe kangakanani! ^q) bebengayikuntshontsha baze banele yini? Uba abavuni bezithelo zevini bebengafika kuwe ^r, bebengayikutshiya umkhothozo yini ^s? 6 Yeka ukuhlolwa kwezinto zikaEsawu ^t, ukudingisiswa kokuligugu kwakhe okufihliweyo! 7 Wonke amadoda esivumelwano sakho akuthumele emngceleni; amadoda okuthula kwakho akukhohlisile, akwehlule ^u, adla isinkwa sakho abeke ^v imbule ngaphansi kwakho ^w; kakukho ukuqedisisa kuye ^x. 8 Kakuyikuba njalo yini ^y ngalolosuku ^z, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi ngizachitha abahlakaniphileyo eEdoma lokuqedisisa ^aa entabeni kaEsawu ^ab. 9 Lamaqhawe akho ^ac azatshaywa luvalo, Themani ^{ad
,} ^ae, ukuze ngulowo lalowo aqunywe entabeni kaEsawu ngokubulawa ^af.

10 Ngenxa ^ag yodlakela lwakho umelene ^ah lomfowenu uJakobe ^ai inhloni zizakusibekela ^aj, uqunywe kuze kube phakade ^ak. 11 Ngosuku owema ngalo uqondene labo, ngosuku abezizweni abathumba ngalo amabutho akhe, abezizwe abangena emasangweni akhe ^al, abenza inkatho yokuphosa ngeJerusalema ^am, lawe wawunjengomunye wabo. 12 Kodwa wawungafanelanga ukukhangela ^an ngosuku lomfowenu ^ao ngosuku lwenhlupheko yakhe ^ap; njalo wawungafanelanga uthokoze ngabantwana bakoJuda ngosuku lokuchitheka kwabo ^aq; njalo wawungafanelanga ukhulume ngokuziqhenya ngosuku lokuhlupheka. 13 Ngabe kawungenanga ngesango labantu bami osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo ^ar; ngabe kawukhangelanga, lawe, ebubini babo osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo ^as; njalo ngabe ^at kawelulelanga isandla sakho enothweni yabo osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo ^au. 14 Ngabe kawumanga emehlukanweni endlela ukuquma abaphunyukayo bakhe ^av; njalo ngabe kawunikelanga abasalayo bakhe osukwini losizi ^aw. 15 Ngoba usuku lweNkosi lusondele ^{ax
,} ^ay ezizweni zonke ^az. Njengokwenza kwakho kuzakwenziwa kuwe ^ba; umvuzo wakho uzabuyela ekhanda lakho ^bb. 16 Ngoba njengoba linathile ^bc entabeni yami engcwele ^bd, ngokunjalo zonke izizwe zizanatha njalonjalo ^be, yebo, zizanatha, ziginye ^bf, zibe kungathi kazizanga zibe khona ^bg.
