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.
