22 Wena ke nyana wakhe, Bheleshatsare, akuyithobanga intliziyo yakho, nakuba ubukwazi oko konke.
23 Ùziphakamisile ngaphezu, kweNkosi yamazulu, neempahla zendlu yayo zaziswa phambi kwakho, wena nezikhulu zakho, namakhosikazi akho, namashweshwe akho; nasela iwayini ngazo. Wancoma oothixo besilivere, nabegolide, nabobhedu, nabesinyithi, nabemithi, nabamatye, abangaboniyo, abangevayo, abangaziyo. Ke uThixo lowo, kùsesandleni sakhe ukuphefumla kwakho, onazo zonke iindlela zakho, akumbekanga.
24 Waza wathuma, kwavela kuye oko kuphela kwesandla, lo mbhalo ke wàwubhaliwe.
25 Nangu ke loo mbhalo wàwubhaliwe: MENE, MENE, TEKELE, UFARSIN.
26 Nanku ukutyhilwa kwale nto: elokuba MENE lithi, UThixo ububalile ubukumkani bakho, wabuphelisa.
27 Elokuba TEKELE lithi, Wena ulinganisiwe esikalini,* wafunyanwa ulula.
28 Elokuba PERES lithi, Buyahlulwa ubukumkani bakho, bunikwe amaMedi namaPersi.
