1 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndixhoxhela iBhabheli, nabahleli ngaphakathi kwabasukela phezulu kum, umoya womonakalisi.
2 Ndiya kuthumela eBhabheli abasemzini, abaya kuyela; balithi qongqololo ilizwe layo; ngokuba boyifikela ngeenxa zonke ngemini yobubi.
3 Umtyedi wesaphetha makagobele kogobayo, nakozinyusayo, enengubo yentsimbi, ningawayeki amadodana ayo; singelani phantsi wonke umkhosi wayo;
4 bawé ababuleweyo ezweni lamaKaledi, nabahlatywe amahlanza ezitratweni zayo.
5 Ngokuba uSirayeli, kwanoYuda, akashiywanga wangumhlolokazi nguThixo wakhe, nguYehova wemikhosi; kuba ilizwe labo lizele lityala koyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.
6 Sabani niphume eBhabheli, nisize elowo umphefumlo wakhe; maningadaki ngenxa yobugwenxa bayo; ngokuba eli lixesha lempindezelo kuYehova; uya kubuyekeza kuyo kwaimpatho yayo.
7 IBhabheli ibé iyindebe yegolide esandleni sikaYehova, ilinxilisa lonke ihlabathi; zasela iintlanga ewayinini yayo. Ngako oko ziyageza iintlanga.
