12 Mna, Ntshumayeli, ndibe ndingukumkani kwaSirayeli eYerusalem.
13 Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ukuba ingxoke, isingasinge ngobulumko, yonke into eyenzekayo phantsi kwezulu; ngumzamo ombi uThixo awuniké oonyana babantu, ukuba bawuzame.
14 Ndazikhangela zonke izenzo ezenzékayo phantsi kwelanga; yabona, zonke zingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
15 Into egoso ayinakolulwa; into engekhoyo ayinakubalwa.
16 Ndathetha mna nentliziyo yam, ndisithi, Yabona, mna ndikhulisé ndandisa ubulumko, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababephethe iYerusalem phambi kwam; nentliziyo yam iboné kakhulu ubulumko nokwazi.
17 Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ekwazini ubulumko, nasekwazini ubugeza nobuyatha; kwanaloo nto ndayiqonda ukuba kukusukelana nomoya.
18 Ngokuba ebuninzini bobulumko kukho ukuhlelwa sisiyengelezane esininzi; owongeza ukwazi, wongeza umvandedwa.
