1 “Shaa shoka oshigwana shaIsrael tashi longo okuza ongula sigo ongulohi, kashi na shilonga notashi fala meyonuuko. Ekotokelo nuukolokoshi otayi indjipala mokati kawo. Otaa uvanene naAssur e taa pindike naEgipiti.”
2 Omuwa ota tamaneke oshigwana shaJuda, ota ka geela wo Israel molwiilonga mbyoka ta longo. Ote ya galulile shoka yi ilongele. 3 Hekulu Jakob okwa kondjele nomumwayina omukwanambwiyu, manga ya li natango mela lyayina. Jakob sho a koko, okwa kondjo naKalunga — 4 okwa kondjo nomuyengeli e ta sindana. Okwa lili e ti indile eyambeko. PuBetel Kalunga okwe ya kutatekulu Jakob e te mu popitha. 5 Nguka oye Omuwa Kalunga Omunankondoawike — Omuwa olyo edhina ndyoka ha simanekwa nalyo. 6 Onkee ngashingeyi, luvalo lwaJakob, inekeleni Kalunga keni nokugalukila kuye. Kaleni aainekelwa naayuuki, nokutegelela neidhidhimiko ekwatho lyaKalunga keni.

7 Omuwa ota ti: “Oshigwana shaIsrael osha fa Aakaanana, kashi shi kwiinekelwa. Oshi hole okukotokela aalandi yasho nondjele ya puka. 8 Aaisraeli ohaa ti: ‘Tse aayamba notu na omaliko. Kape na ngoka te tu nyenyetele, sho tu na uuyamba wa za mokukotokela.’ 9 Ihe ngame, Omuwa Kalunga keni nde mu tembudha muEgipiti, otandi ke mu kaleka ishewe mootenda, ngashi mwa li nale, sho nde ya kune mombuga.
10 “Onda lombwele aahunganeki nonde ya talitha omamoniko ogendji, nomaahunganeki onda londodha olwindji aantu yandje. 11 Natango iimenka otayi longelwa muGilead, naayehe mboka taa yi longele, otaa ka sa. Oontsezi otadhi yambwa muGilgal, niiyambelo otayi ka ninga omakulukuma momalundu.”
12 Tatekulu Jakob okwa fadhukile kuMesopotamia, hoka a lithile omusamane Laban iimuna ye yoonzi, opo a mone omukiintu. 13 Omuwa okwa tumu omuhunganeki, a mangulule Israel muupika waEgipiti noku ya sila oshimpwiyu. 14 Oshigwana shaIsrael osha geyitha Omuwa; oshi ilongele okusa molwokuyona kwasho. Omuwa ote ke shi geela, sho inaashi mu simaneka.
