Isigidimi sikaMowabhi

1Isihlabo sikaMowabhi. Ngokuba iphanzisiwe ebusuku iAri yakwaMowabhi; kuba ngobusuku ibhuqiwe iKire yakwaMowabhi, yathi shwaka;

2Wenyuka waya eBhayiti naseDibhon, kummandla weentaba, ukuya kulila; uMowabhi uya kuzilela ngenxa yeNebho neMedebha; zonke iintloko zabo ziya kuba ziinkqayi, zonke iindevu zabo ziya kuchetywa.

3Baya kunxiba ezimnyama ezitalatweni zabo;

4Iya kubiza iHeshbhon, ne-Elehali; ilizwi labo liya kuvakala naseYatsa; ke ngoko amagorha axhobileyo akwaMowabhi aya kuduma; ubomi bakhe buya kuba nzima kuye.

5Intliziyo yam iyakhala ngenxa kaMowabhi; abasabayo bakhe baya kusabela eTsohare, ithokazi lenkomo eliminyaka mithathu; kuba endleleni yaseHoronayim baya kuduma ngentshabalalo.

6Ngenxa yokuba amanzi aseNimrim aya kuba yintlango, ngenxa yokuba ingca yomile, ingca iwile, ayibikho luhlaza.

7Ke ngoko, baya kuthabatha intabalala abayifumeneyo, abayibeke kwiqula lemingcunube.

8Isikhalo sajikeleza emdeni wakwaMowabhi; ukukhala kwakhe kufik’ e-Eglayim, ukukhala kwakhe kufike eBhelim.

9Kuba amanzi aseDimon aya kuzala ligazi, yaye ndiya kuzisa okungakumbi phezu kweDimon, ndizisa iingonyama phezu kwabasindileyo bakwaMowabhi nakwabaseleyo belizwe.
