14 Wayesekhumula izingubo zakhe zobufelokazi, wagubuzela, wazimboza, wahlala esangweni lase-Enayimi ngasendleleni eya eThimna, ngokuba wabona ukuthi uShela usekhulile, engamnikwa nokho abe ngumkakhe.
15 UJuda esembona wacabanga ukuthi uyisifebe, ngokuba wayegubuzele ubuso.
16 Waphambukela kuye endleleni, wathi: “Woza, ake ngingene kuwe,” ngokuba wayengazi ukuthi ungumalokazana wakhe.Wathi: “Uyakungiphani ukuba ungene kimi na?”
17 Wayesethi: “Mina ngizakukuthumela izinyane lembuzi elisemhlambini.”Wathi: “Uzakunginika isibambiso, uze ulithume, na?”
18 Wathi: “Ngikuphe sibambiso sini na?”Wathi: “Indandatho yakho, nentambo yakho, nodondolo lwakho olusesandleni sakho.” Wamupha, wangena kuye; wakhuliselwa nguye.
19 Wasuka, wahamba, wakhumula iveli lakhe, wembatha izingubo zakhe zobufelokazi.
20 UJuda wathuma izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somhlobo wakhe wase-Adulamu ukuba athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazane, kepha akamfumananga.
