1 Memelela, ludlolo lungazaliyo; gqabhuka umemelele, utsholoze, wena ungenanimba; ngokuba baninzi abantwana besishiywa, ngaphezu kwabantwana bonendoda; utsho uYehova.
2 Yenze banzi indawo yentente yakho, uwatwabulule amalengalenga eminquba yakho, ungathinteli; zolule izintya zakho, uziqinisele izikhonkwane zakho.
3 Kuba ùya kutyhobozela ekunene nasekholo, imbewu yakho izidle ilifa iintlanga, iyime imizi ebingamanxuwa.
4 Musa ukoyika, ngokuba akuyi kudana; musa ukudideka lihlazo, ngokuba akuyi kuba nazintloni. Ngokuba ukudana kobuntombi bakho ùya kukulibala, ungcikivo lobuhlolokazi bakho ungabi salukhumbula.
5 Ngokuba indoda yakho nguMenzi wakho, ogama lakhe linguYehova wemikhosi; nguMkhululi wakho oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli, ekuthiwa nguThixo wehlabathi lonke.
6 Ngokuba uYehova ukubize njengomfazi obeshiyiwe, omoya ubulalekileyo, njengomfazi wobutsha, xeshikweni ebethe wacekiswa; utsho uThixo wakho.
7 Ndakushiya okwephanyazo elincinane; ndiya kukubutha ngemfesane enkulu.
