Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Kulandelwa itshuni ethi, “Iluba lesiVumelwano.” Imikithamu kaDavida. Elokufundisa. Lapho alwa lo-Aramu Naharayimu lo-Aramu Zobha, njalo lapho uJowabi athi ekubuyeni kwakhe walahla phansi ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili eSigodini seTswayi.

1Ususilahlile, Oh Nkulunkulu, wabhidliza izinqaba zethu;

ubukade uthukuthele, manje ake usivuselele!

2Usulizamazamisile ilizwe waliqhekeza;

namathisela iminkenke yalo ngoba selivevezela.

3Ubabonisile abantu bakho izikhathi ezilukhuni;

usiphe iwayini elisenza sidiyazele.

4Kodwa kulabo abakwesabayo usuphakamise uphawu

lokubahlanganisa ndawonye.

5Sisindise, usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene,

ukuze bonke labo obathandayo bakhululwe.

6UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele:

“Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu,

ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.

7Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami;

u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami,

uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.

8IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela,

phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami;

phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”

9Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na?

Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?

10Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusilahlile,

ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?

11Ake usisize ezitheni zethu,

ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.

12Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba,

njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
