9 Ndamenza mhle ngobuninzi bamasebe akhe, yaba nomona ngaye yonke imithi yase-Eden, esemyezweni kaThixo.
10 Ngako oko yatsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba eziphakamisile ngobude, wawanyusela amantloko akhe phakathi kweengqimba zamafu, yazinyusa intliziyo yakhe ngokuphakama kwakhe:
11 ndiya kumnikela esandleni senjengele yeentlanga; inene, iya kumphatha ngesiko layo; ndamgxotha ngenxa yokungendawo kwakhe.
12 Bámnqumla abasemzini, abangcangcazelisi basezintlangeni bamlahla. Ezintabeni nasemifuleni yonke awa amasebe akhe; amahlamvu akhe aphukela ezihlanjeni zehlabathi lonke; zehla zemka emthunzini wakhe zonke izizwe zehlabathi, zamlahla.
13 Phezu kwesibili sakhe esiwileyo kuhlala zonke iintaka zezulu, zifike emahlamvini akhe zonke izinto eziphilileyo zasendle;
14 ukuze ingaziphakamisi ngenxa yobude bayo yonke imithi yasemanzini, ingawanyuseli phakathi kweengqimba zamafu amantloko ayo, ingaziméli ngokwayo ekuziphakamiseni kwayo, yonke esela amanzi. Ngokuba bonke bephela banikelwe ekufeni, ezweni langaphantsi, phakathi koonyana baka-Adam, kwabahlé baya emhadini.
15 Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngemini yokuhla kwakhe ukuya kwelabafileyo, ndabanga isijwili; ndawagqubuthela ngenxa yakhe amanzi anzongonzongo, ndathintela imilambo yawo, avingcelwa amanzi amakhulu. Ndayambathisa iLebhanon ngezimnyama zokuzila ngenxa yakhe, yonke imithi yasendle yetha amandla ngenxa yakhe.
