1 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2 Nyana womntu, umthi womdiliya uyidlula ngantoni na yonke eminye imithi, isebe lomdiliya eliphakathi kwemithi yehlathi?
3 Kukha kuthatyathwe umthi yini na kuwo wokusebenza umsebenzi? Kukha kuthatyathwe nesikhonkwane na kuwo, sokuxhoma iimpahla nokuba ziziphi?
4 Yabona, ufakwa emlilweni ukuba uwutshise; umlilo utshisa iincam zawo zombini, sirhawuke isibili sawo; wówulungela na ke umsebenzi?
5 Yabona, oko ube usewonke, ubungenamsebenzi; wóbeka phi na ke ukungabi namsebenzi, xa uthe watshiswa ngumlilo, warhawuka?
6 Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Njengomthi womdiliya phakathi kwemithi yehlathi, endiwufaka emlilweni ukuze utshiswe, ndenjènjalo ukubabeka emlilweni abemi baseYerusalem,
7 Ndiya kubachasa; baya kuphuma emlilweni, umlilo uya kubatshisa; názi ukuba ndinguYehova ekubachaseni kwam.
8 Ndiya kwenza elizweni kube senkangala, ngenxa yokuba bemenezile ngobumenemene; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
