1Khangelani khathesi UThixo*,
2iqhawe lebutho,
3induna yebutho labangamatshumi amahlanu
4“Ngizakwenza abafana babeyizikhulu zabo;
5Abantu bazancindezelana,
6Indoda izabamba omunye wabafowabo
7Kodwa ngalolosuku uzakhala athi,
8IJerusalema liyadiyazela,
9Ukukhangeleka kobuso babo kufakaza kubi ngabo;
10Tshela abalungileyo ukuthi kuzakuba kuhle kubo,
11Maye kwababi!
12Abatsha bancindezela abantu bami,
13UThixo* uphakama ukuba afakaze indaba yakhe,
14UThixo* uqalisa ukwahlulela
15Litshoni ngokuchoboza abantu bami
16UThixo* uthi,
17Ngakho-ke uThixo* uzakwenza amakhanda
18Ngalolosuku uThixo uzahluthuna imiceciso yabo: amasongo, imincwazi, lemigaxo yentanyeni
19amacici, izigqizo lezimbombozo,
20amaqhiye, izigetsho lamabhanti; amambodlela amakha lezintebe,
21indandatho ezilophawu lamasongo empumulo,
22izembatho ezinhle lezingubo lezigqoko, izikhwama
23lezibuko, lezigqoko zelineni, imiqhele lamaveli.
24Endaweni yephunga elimnandi
25Amadoda akini azakuwa ngenkemba,
