1 “Bese nibiza abafowenu ngokuthi u-Ami, nawodadewenu ngokuthi uRuhama.
2 “Phikisanani nonyoko, niphikisane,ngokuba akasiye umkami,nami angisiyo indoda yakhe;makasuse ubufebe bakhe ebusweni bakhe,nokuphinga kwakhe phakathi kwamabele akhe,
3 funa ngimhlubule abe nqunu,ngimenze njengasosukwini lokuzalwa kwakhe,ngimenze ihlane,ngimbeke abe njengezwe elomileyo,ngimbulale ngokoma.
4 Angiyikuhawukela abantwana bakhe,ngokuba bangabantwana bobufebe.
5 Ngokuba unina ufebile,ngokuba wathi: ‘Ngiyakulandela izithandwa zamiezinginika isinkwa sami namanzi ami,uboya bami bezimvu nefilakisi* lami,amafutha ami nokuphuza kwami.’
6 Ngalokho bhekani, ngiyakuvimbela indlela yakho ngameva,ngakhe ugange ngakuye,ukuze angafumani imikhondo yakhe.
7 Uyakulandela izithandwa zakhe,kepha akayikuzifica;uyakuzifuna, kepha akayikuzifumana;abesethi: ‘Ngiyakuhamba ngibuyele endodeni yami yokuqala,ngokuba kwakukuhle kimi lapho kunamanje.’
