1 Ilizwi likaYehova elafika kuYoweli, unyana kaPetuweli.
2 Yivani oku, nina madoda makhulu, nibeke iindlebe, nonke bemi belizwe; kwakha kwakho na oku ngemihla yenu, nangemihla yooyihlo?
3 Kuxeleni koonyana benu, oonyana benu bakuxele koonyana babo, oonyana babo bakuxele kwisizukulwana esisemva kwabo.
4 Okushiywe ngumqikela kudliwé yinkumbi, okushiywe yinkumbi kudliwe ngumkhothululi, okushiywe ngumkhothululi kudliwé ngumnqunquthi.
5 Vukani, manxila, nilile; bhombolozani, nonke baseli bewayini, ngenxa yencindi yewayini; kuba inqunyulwe emlonyeni wenu.
6 Kuba ezweni lakowethu kunyuké uhlanga olunamandla, olungenakubalwa; amazinyo alo ngamazinyo engonyama, nawemihlathi alo ngawengonyamakazi.
