1 “Danduluka kaloku, ukhale,ubone ukuba ukhona oya kuphendula!He-e-e, uza kubhenela kwesiphi ke ngoku isithunywa?
2 Ngenene izityhakala zizigwinta ngengcwangu yazo;lona ikhwele yimfeketho ephelela ekufeni.
3 Ndakha ndasibona isityhakala sihluma;suka ke mna ndaliqalekisa elo khaya laso.
4 Oonyana baso basesichengeni;nasenkundleni basisisulu,akukho bani ubahlangulayo.
5 Isivuno saso sityiwa zizilambi,zisicubungula naphakathi kwameva.Amabawa ayaburhogola ubutyebi baso.
6 Kaloku inkxwaleko ayiphumi luthulini,ibe ke nenkathazo ayintshuli mhlabeni.
7 Umntu nenkathazo ngumtya nethunga,kwanjengokuba intlantsi ihamba nomlilo!”
8 “Kambe ke, ukuba ibindim, bendiya kubhenela kuThixo,ndiyaneke phambi kwakhe imeko yam.
9 Kaloku nguye owenza izigigaba ezingenakugoca-gocwa;imimangaliso yakhe ayiphele ndawo.
10 Nguye onisa imvula emhlabeni,amasimi awanyakamise ngamanzi.
11 Yena ngumphakamisi wabadelekileyo;ke bona abasezinyembezini uyabathuthuzela.
12 Kaloku yena uyaliphuthisa icebo lesindwebi,ize imizamo yaso ibuye nemband' esikhova.
13 Izilumko uzitsho zixakane nobuqhokolo bazo,ize imizabalazo yazo yobuqhophololo ibhange ngesaquphe.
14 Kwakuba njalo ke kutsho kuhlw' emini kuzo;kuthi kusemin' emaqanda, zona zitotobe ziphampathe ngathi kukwabhadakazi!
15 NguThixo obakhuselayo abahlelelekileyo ekutyholweni;nguye obahlangula esandleni sabomeleleyo.
16 Ngoko ke likhona ithemba nakumahlwempu;ke zona izikhohlakali zitsho zisikw' umlomo!
17 “Ewe, unenyhweba umntu olulekwa nguThixo;ngoko ke sukuyidela ingqeqesho kaSomandla!
18 Kaloku yena uyenzakalisa, abuye abophe;kanti kwayena uyabetha, abuye aphilise ngezandla zakhe.
19 Yena uyaphinda-phinda ukukuhlangula ezinkathazweni,kanti ke ekugqibeleni akuyi kuba sachukunyiswa bubi.
20 Ngexesha lendlala uya kukuhlangula ekufeni;ukanti emfazweni uya kukusindisa ekreleni.
21 Ngokunjalo uya kukukhusela kwintlebendwane,ungabi naxhala ngexesha lonxunguphalo.
22 Unxunguphalo nendlala ziya kuba yimfeketho kuwe,ungawaxhaleli namarhwamncwa ehlabathi.
23 Uya kunqophisana namatye asemathambekeni,kubekho uxolo phakathi kwakho namarhamncwa asendle.
24 Umzi wakho uya kuhlala ukhuselekile,nasesibayeni uthi wakukhangela ufike ziphelele.
25 Inzala yakho iya kuba yinyambalala,isizukulwana sakho sinabe njengengca emhlabeni.
26 Uya kudla ubomi ude ukhokhobe,nqwa nengqolowa engavunwayo lingekafiki ixesha.
27 “Uyabona, siziphicothile ezi zinto, yaye zinjalo;yiva ke, uziqonde ubunyaniso bazo kuwe.”
