1 Ke kaloku wathi uThixo kuYakobi, Suka uye eBheteli, uhlale khona, wenze khona isibingelelo kuThixo, owabonakalayo kuwe ekubalekeni kwakho ebusweni bukaEsawu, umkhuluwa wakho.
2 Wathi ke uYakobi kwindlu yakhe, nakubo bonke ababenaye, Susani izithixo zasemzini eziphakathi kwenu, nina nizihlambulule, ninxibe ngubo zimbi;
3 sisuke, sinyuke siye eBheteli, senze khona isibingelelo kuThixo, owandiphendula ngomhla wokubandezeleka kwam, obe nam endleleni endandihamba ngayo.
4 Bazinika uYakobi zonke izithixo zasemzini ebezisesandleni sabo, namajikazi abesezindlebeni zabo; uYakobi wazimbela phantsi komoki* obungakwaShekem.
5 Banduluka; uqhiphulo-mbilini ngoThixo lwaba phezu kwemizi ngeenxa zonke kubo, àyabasukela oonyana bakaYakobi.
