5 Ngako oko, ubude bakhe baphakama, baba ngaphezu kwayo yonke imithi yasendle; iimbaxa zakhe zanda, namahlamvu akhe aba made, ngenxa yamanzi amaninzi ekunabeni kwakhe.
6 Zonke iintaka zezulu zákha ezimbaxeni zakhe, zonke izinto eziphilileyo zasendle zazakhela phantsi kwamahlamvu akhe; zonke iintlanga ezinkulu zahlala emthunzini wakhe.
7 Wamhle ngobukhulu bakhe, ngobude bamasebe akhe; ngokuba ingcambu yakhe yabe isemanzini amaninzi.
8 Imisedare esemyezweni kaThixo ayimsithanga; imisipres* ayifananga neembaxa zakhe, nemipleyini* ayibanga njengamahlamvu akhe; yonke imithi emyezweni kaThixo ayifananga naye ngobuhle bayo.
9 Ndamenza mhle ngobuninzi bamasebe akhe, yaba nomona ngaye yonke imithi yase-Eden, esemyezweni kaThixo.
10 Ngako oko yatsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba eziphakamisile ngobude, wawanyusela amantloko akhe phakathi kweengqimba zamafu, yazinyusa intliziyo yakhe ngokuphakama kwakhe:
11 ndiya kumnikela esandleni senjengele yeentlanga; inene, iya kumphatha ngesiko layo; ndamgxotha ngenxa yokungendawo kwakhe.
