1Maye kulowomqhele wamaluba,
2Khangelani, uThixo ulaye olamandla oqinileyo.
3Umqhele lowo wamaluba, iqhono lezidakwa zako-Efrayimi
4Leliyaluba elibunayo, ubuhle bakhe obukhazimulayo,
5Ngalolosuku uThixo* uSomandla
6Uzakuba ngumoya wokulunga
7Lalaba bayadiyazela ngenxa yewayini,
8Amatafula wonke agcwele amahlanzo
9“Ngubani lowo ozama ukumfundisa?
10Ngoba kumi kanje:
11Kungasenani, ngezindebe zabezizweni langolimi
12atshoyo kubo wathi,
13Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo* kubo lizakuba ngelithi:
14Ngakho-ke zwanini ilizwi likaThixo* lina bantu abaklolodayo,
15Lizitshaya izifuba lisithi, “Senze isivumelwano lokufa,
16Ngakho lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo* woBukhosi:
17Ngizakwenza okufaneleyo kube yintambo yokulinganisa,
18Isivumelwano senu lokufa sizakwesulwa;
19Ngazozonke izikhathi esizafika ngazo sizalithatha;
20Umbheda mfitshane kakhulu ukuba unabe kuwo,
21UThixo* uzavuka njengalokho akwenzayo entabeni iPherazimu;
22Khathesi-ke yekelani ukukloloda kwenu
23Lalelani lizwe ilizwi lami;
24Lapho umlimi elima ukuba ahlanyele, ulima kokuphela na?
25Nxa umhlabathi esewendlale kuhle,
26UNkulunkulu wakhe uyamfundisa,
27Ikharawayi kayibhulwa ngesileyi;
28Amabele kumele acholwe ukuba kwenziwe isinkwa,
