11 and now to flee to/for you to(wards) place your to say to honor: honour to honor: honour you and behold to withhold you LORD from glory

17 to see: see him and not now to see him and not near to tread star from Jacob and to arise: rise tribe: staff from Israel and to wound side Moab and to destroy all son: descendant/people Seth
Ngiyambona, kodwa hatshi khathesi; ngiyambona, kodwa kungesikho eduze. Inkanyezi izaphuma ivela kuJakhobe; intonga yobukhosi izaphakama ivela ku-Israyeli. Uzacobodisa amabunzi kaMowabi, inkakhayi zamadodana wonke kaSethi.
18 and to be Edom possession and to be possession Seir enemy his and Israel to make: do strength
I-Edomi izanqotshwa; uSeyiri, oyisitha sakhe, uzanqotshwa, kodwa u-Israyeli uzakhula abe lamandla.
