1Wena ulungile izikhathi zonke,
2Ubahlanyele, njalo sebemilile;
3Kodwa mina, Oh Thixo*, uyangazi;
4Koze kube nini ilizwe lomile
5“Nxa ugijime labantu ngezinyawo
6Abafowenu, abendlu yakwenu
7Indlu yami ngizayitshiya,
8Ilifa lami kimi selibe
9Ilifa lami kimi kaselibe
10Abelusi abanengi bazasichitha isivini sami
11Izakwenziwa ugwadule,
12Emiqolweni yonke engelalutho enkangala
13Bazahlanyela ingqoloyi kodwa bavune ameva;
14UThixo* uthi: “Bonke omakhelwane bami ababi abathumba ilifa engalinika abantu bami bako-Israyeli, ngizabasusa emazweni abo ngisuse lendlu kaJuda phakathi kwabo.
15Kodwa emva kokubasusa kwami, ngizaphinda ngibe lesihawu ngibuyisele omunye lomunye wabo endaweni eyilifa lakhe elizweni lakhe.
16Bangazifunda kuhle izindlela zabantu bami njalo bafunge ngebizo lami besithi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo* ephila’ lanxa nje bake bafundisa abantu bami ukufunga ngoBhali, bazahlaliswa phakathi kwabantu bami.
