1 Kwathi ngamhla uthile, oonyana bakaThixo beza kuzimisa phambi koYehova; weza noSathana* phakathi kwabo, ukuba azimise phambi koYehova.
2 Wathi uYehova kuSathana, Uvela phi na? USathana wamphendula uYehova, wathi, Ekutyhutyha-tyhutyheni ehlabathini, nasekuhamba-hambeni kulo.
3 Wathi uYehova kuSathana, Ùmgqalile na kodwa umkhonzi wam uYobhi, ukuba akukho unjengaye ehlabathini, indoda egqibeleleyo, ethe tye, emoyikayo uThixo, etyekayo ebubini: esabambeleleyo ekugqibeleleni kwayo,
4 noko undixhokonxele kuyo ukuba ndiyiginyele ilize? USathana wamphendula uYehova, wathi, Ulùsu ngenxa yolùsu; konke anako umntu wókunika ngenxa yomphefumlo wakhe.
5 Kodwa ke khawuse isandla sakho ngoku, uchukumise emathanjeni akhe nasenyameni yakhe, ukuba akayi kukulahla na nawe lo, akwenze oko ebusweni bakho.
6 Wathi uYehova kuSathana, Nanko esesandleni sakho; kuphela wògcina umphefumlo wakhe.
7 Waphuma ke uSathana, wemka ebusweni bukaYehova; wambetha uYobhi ngamathumba amabi, wathabathela entendeni yonyawo lwakhe, wesa elukakayini lwakhe.
