Bena Edome nebabutuke

² Maweja-Nangila udi wambila bena Edome ne: “Ku bisamba bionsu nuenu nenuikale tshisamba tshidi katshiyi ne bukole. Bantu bonsu nebanupetule.

⁶ Eyi, nuenu ndelanganyi ya Esawu, bintu bienu bionsu nebabipawule, nansha biuma bienu binuvua basokoke, nebabipete baye nabi.

⁷ Bonsu banuvua batue nabu ndondu, mbanubenge. Badi banuipata mu ditunga dienu. Bavua balunda benu, badi banukuate ku bupika. Banuvua nudia nabu ku mesa, badi banuteya. Badi banuamba ne: ‘mBantu batatakane!’

⁸ Nanku meme Maweja-Nangila ndi ngamba ne: Dituku dingafika munda, nembutule bena meji badi mu Edome. Tshiena nshiya muena lungenyi nansha umue, pa mikuna ya Esawu.

⁹ Wewe tshimenga tshia Temane, bilobu biebe bia myita nebikuatshike bowa. Bena myita ba mu ditunga diebe, nebabashipe bonsu.

Bubi bua bena Edome

¹⁰ “Nuvua baluishe bana benu, ndelanganyi ya Yakobe babashipe, bapawule bintu biabu. Nanku bundu nebunukuate. Nebanubutule kashidi.

¹¹ Nuvua bamone, muvua baluishi batshimuna bana benu, babuela mu tshimenga tshiabu. Pavua baluishi batshinka, babanyangana bubanji bua mu Yerushalayime, nuenu kabidi nuvua benza momumue.

¹² Nuenu bena Edome, kanuvua mua kusanka, pavua bana benu bena Yuda mu dikenga. Kanuvua mua kuseka, pavuabu bababutula. Kanutua mua kubapenda, pavuabu bapampakana.

¹⁷ Nanku bantu badi bashala ne muoyi, nebasombe mu Siyone. Mukuna wanyi awu newikale tshiakabidi wa tshijila. Ndelanganyi ya Yakobe, neyipingane mu ditunga diayi, divuabu babanyenge.

¹⁸ Ndelanganyi ya Yakobe ne ya Yozefe neyikale bu kapia. Neyoshe ndelanganyi ya Esawu, bu mudibu bosha bisosa. Nebababutule bonsu, kakuyi muntu ushala ne muoyi. Meme Maweja-Nangila, ndi ngamba nanku.”

Bena Yuda pamue ne bena Izrayele badi batshimuna bena mutumba

¹⁹ Bena Yuda badi basombele kuinshi mu ditunga, nebakuate ditunga dia mikuna dia bena Edome. Badi luseke ludi diba dibuelela, nebakuate ditunga dia bena Peleshete. Bena Izrayele nebakuate ditunga dia bena Efrayime, ne tshimenga tshia Samariya. Bena Binyamine nebakuate ditunga dia Ngilaade.

²⁰ Bena Izrayele ba ku mutu wa ditunga bayua bumuke mu bupika, bungi bu tshiluilu tshia bushiwa, nebakuate ditunga dia Fenisiya too ne tshimenga tshia Sarepta. Bena Yerushalayime bavua mu bupika mu Sefarade, nebakuate bimenga bia kuinshi mu ditunga.

²¹ Bobu bamane kutshimuna, nebabande pa mukuna wa Siyone, bua kuikalabu bamfumu ba bena Edome. Ke mudi Maweja-Nangila ujadika bumfumu buende nanku.
