1 Yithini tu phambi kwam, ziqithi; izizwe mazihlaziye amandla; mazize zisondele, zandule zithethe; masiqubisane ematyaleni.
2 Ngubani na ovuse empumalanga lowo ukhawulelwa bubulungisa ezinyaweni zakhe? Unikela iintlanga phambi kwakhe, unyathela ookumkani, ubanikela ekreleni lakhe njengothuli, esaphetheni sakhe njengomququ ophetshethwayo.
3 Uyabasukela, udlula enoxolo ngomendo abengawuhambanga ngeenyawo zakhe.
4 Ngubani na okusebenzileyo wakwenza oko, obiza izizukulwana kwasentloko? Ndim, mna Yehova, ndingowokuqala; nakwabangasemva ndikwanguye.
5 Iziqithi zabona zoyika, iziphelo zehlabathi zagubha, zasondela, zeza.
6 Umntu wamnceda ummelwane wakhe, wathi kumzalwana wakhe, Yomelela.
7 Ingcibi yomeleza umnyibilikisi; ogudisayo ngesando womeleza obetha esikhandelweni, esithi, Kulungile; wasiqinisa ngezikhonkwane, ukuba singashukumi isithixo.
8 Ke wena Sirayeli, mkhonzi wam Yakobi, wena ndakunyulayo, mbewu ka-Abraham umthandi wam;
9 endakubambayo kwaseziphelweni zehlabathi, endakubizayo kwasemacaleni alo; endathi kuwe, Ungumkhonzi wam wena, ndikunyule, andikucekisile;
10 musa ukoyika, kuba ndinawe mna; musa ukubhekabheka, kuba ndinguThixo wakho; ndikukhaliphisile, ewe, ndikuncedile, ndikuxhasile ngesandla sam sokunene sobulungisa bam.
11 Yabona, baya kudana bahlazeke bonke abavutha umsindo ngawe; aya kuba yinto engento, adake amadoda abambana nawe.
12 Ùya kuwafuna, ungawafumani, amadoda aphikisana nawe; aya kuba yinto engento, engekhoyo, amadoda alwa nawe.
13 Ngokuba mna, Yehova Thixo wakho, ndiya kusibamba isandla sakho sokunene; ndingóthi kuwe, Musa ukoyika, ndiya kukunceda mna.
14 Musa ukoyika, mbungu Yakobi, bantu bambalwa bakwaSirayeli; ndiya kukunceda mna; utsho uYehova, uMkhululi wakho oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.
15 Yabona, ndikwenzé isisizilo esibukhali esitsha, esintlangothi mbini; uya kuzibhula iintaba uzicole, iinduli uzixelise umququ.
16 Ùya kuzela, umoya uzithabathe, umoya ovuthuzayo uziphangalalise; ke wena ugcobe ngoYehova, uqhayise ngoyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.
17 Ke abaziintsizana nabangamahlwempu baya kufuna amanzi, angabikho, ulwimi lwabo lomè linxano; mna Yehova ndiya kubaphendula; mna, Thixo kaSirayeli, andiyi kubashiya.
18 Ndiya kuyivula imilambo eluqayini, nemithombo phakathi kweentili, ndenze intlango ibe lidike elinamanzi, nomhlaba ongumqwebedu ube ziindawo eziphuma amanzi.
19 Ndiya kutyala entlango imisedare,* nemingampunzi, nemimirtile,* neminquma yasendle, ndimise enkqantosini imisipres,* nemipleyini,* nemigalagala, ndawonye;
20 ukuze babone, bazi, bagqale ngentliziyo, baqiqe kunye, ukuba isandla sikaYehova sikwenzile oko, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli ukudalile oko.
21 Sondezani iindawo enibambene ngazo, utsho uYehova; zimiseni iziganeko zenu, utsho uKumkani kaYakobi.
22 Mabazizise, basixelele okuza kuhla; mabaxele izinto zangaphambili, ubunjani bazo, sizigqale ngeentliziyo, silazi ikamva lazo; nokuba zezizayo siviseni.
23 Xelani izinto ezizayo ngasemva, ukuze sazi ukuba ningoothixo; ewe, yenzani okulungileyo, nokuba kokubi, sikhwankqiswe, sibonisane ngako.
24 Yabonani, ningabento engento, nomsebenzi wenu awuní yaní; úlisikizi oninyulayo.
25 Ndivusé owasentla, weza; owasempumalanga, onqula igama lam; uzifikela iirhuluneli njengodaka, njengombumbi exovula udongwe.
26 Ngubani na owakuxelayo oko kwasekuqaleni? makavele sazi; owakuxelayo ngenxa engaphambili makavele, sithi, Úlungisile. Hayi, akukho waxelayo; hayi, akukho wavakalisayo; hayi, akukho wazivayo iintetho zenu.
27 Ndim endaqala ndathi kwiZiyon, Yabona, nanzo; ndayinika iYerusalem umshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo.
28 Kuba ndakhangela, akwabakho bani; nakwaba akwabakho bacebisi ndingababuzayo, baphendule ngelizwi.
29 Yabona, bonke bephela bayinto engento, ziyinto engekhoyo izenzo zabo, imifanekiso yabo etyhidiweyo ingumoya nochuku.
