1 Ubulumko buyakhile indlu yabo,bayenzela iintsika ezisixhenxe.
2 Ubulumko buxhelile, bayixuba newayini;kwaye netafile sebuyidekile.
3 Buthume izicakazana ukuba zime ezindulini,zazise apho edolophini, zithi:
4 “Yizani nonke, nina bangaqondiyo.”Kanti ke kwabaswele ukuqonda buthi:
5 “Ngenani nitye ukutya endikulungisileyo,nisele newayini endiyixubileyo.
6 Lahlani ubuyatha, khon' ukuze niphile;hambani ngendlela yeengqondi.
7 “Othethisa umgxeki uzibizela ukuthukwa;okhalimela isikhohlakali udibana nokunyeliswa.
8 Sukuziduba ngokululeka umgxeki kuba wosuka akucaphukele;kambe ke wakululeka isilumko sitsho sikuhloniphe.
9 Wakusifundisa isilumko sitsho silumke ngaphezulu.Ukuba uyalicebisa ilungisa litsho longeze ulutho kulwazi lwalo.
10 “Isiseko sobulumko kukuthobela *uNdikhoyo;umntu omaziyo oyiNgcwele kanye uzuza ingqiqo.
11 Mna bulumko ndoyenza ibe mininzi imihla yakho,ndiyongeze iminyaka yobomi bakho.
12 Xa usisilumko woncedwa bubulumko bakho;kanti xa ungumgxeki iya kuba nguwe kanye ohluphekayo.”
13 Umfazi onguNobudenge usoloko engxola;yindlavinikazi engazi nto.
14 Uthanda ukuhlala emnyango endlwini yakheokanye kwiindawo eziphezulu edolophini,
15 ufike selemana ekhwaza abantu abadlula ngendlela,behamba bexakeke yimicimbi yabo,
16 esithi: “Yizani apha nonke, nina bangaqondiyo!”Kwabaswele ukuqonda uthi:
17 “Akamnandi ngako amanzi abiweyo!Kanti ke nokutya okutyiwa ekufihlekeni kokona kunencasa.”
18 Abamphulaphulayo abaqondi ukuba kukufa okubalindele apho;abazi ukuba abo bakhe bamtyelela xa kungokunje bakwelabafileyo.
