⁴Vanhu vangu vakadzingwa ngavagare newe; kana ari Moabhi, uve kwaari paangavanda pamberi pomuparadzi; nekuti mutambudzi haachipo, kuparadza kwapera, vamanikidzi vabva panyika.

⁶Takanzwa zvokuzvikudza kwaMoabhi, kuti unozvikudza kwazvo; zvamanyawi ake, nokuzvikudza kwake, nehasha dzake; asi kuzvirumbidza kwake hakuna maturo.

⁷Eb laj Moab teßyâbak xban li raylal li teßxcßul. Chixjunileb teßyâbak nak tâjulticokß reheb lix tzacaêmkeb yîbanbil riqßuin chaki uvas li xeßxcuaß aran Kir-hareset.

¹²Zvino kana Moabhi achizviratidza pamberi paJehovha, kana achizvinetsa padunhu rakakwirira, nokupinda panzvimbo yake tsvene kuzonyengetera, haangatongobatsirwi chinhu.

¹⁴Asi zvino Jehovha akataura achiti, Makore matatu asati apfuura, samakore omunhu anobatira mubayiro, kukudzwa kwaMoabhi kuchazvidzwa, pamwechete navanhu vake vazhinji; vakasara vachava vashoma kwazvo, vasina simba.
