17 amaSirayeli athuma abathunywa kukumkani wakwaEdom, esithi, Makhe ndicande ezweni lakho. Ke ukumkani wakwaEdom akaphulaphulanga. Athuma nakukumkani wakwaMowabhi, naye akavumanga. Ahlala amaSirayeli eKadeshe.
18 Ahamba entlango, alijikela ilizwe lakwaEdom nelizwe lakwaMowabhi, evela ekuphumeni kwelanga; aya ezweni lakwaMowabhi, amisa ngaphesheya kweArnon, àkangena emdeni wakwaMowabhi, ngokuba iArnon ngumda wakwaMowabhi.
19 AmaSirayeli athuma abathunywa kuSihon, ukumkani wama-Amori, ukumkani waseHeshbhon; athi amaSirayeli kuye, Makhe ndicande ezweni lakho, ndiye endaweni yam.
20 Ke uSihon akakholwa ngamaSirayeli, ukuba acande emdeni wakhe. Wabahlanganisa uSihon bonke abantu bakhe, bamisa eYatsa, walwa namaSirayeli.
21 UYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, wamnikela uSihon nabantu bakhe bonke, esandleni samaSirayeli. Ababulala, alihlutha amaSirayeli lonke ilizwe lama-Amori abehleli kweli lizwe.
22 Awuhlutha wonke umda wama-Amori, athabathela eArnon esa eYabhoki, athabathela entlango esa eYordan.
23 Kaloku uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, uwagqogqile ama-Amori phambi kwabantu bakhe amaSirayeli. Ùya kulihlutha na ke wena?
