1 “Kungani ukuba uSomandlaangazibekeleli izikhathi zokwahlulela,abamaziyo babone imihla yakhe, na?
2 Imincele iyasuswa;bahlwitha imihlambi, bayiklabise.
3 Bamukisa imbongolo yezintandane,nenkomo yomfelokazi bayayithatha ibe yisibambiso.
4 Bafuzula abaswelayo endleleni;abampofu bomhlaba bacasha ndawonye.
5 Bheka, njengezimbongolo ehlanebayaphumela emisebenzini yabo befunisisa ukudla;ihlane lingukudla kwabo abakunika abantwana babo.
6 Emasimini bavuna ifoliji;*bakhothoza esivinini somubi.
7 Ebusuku balala nqunu bengenangubo,bengenanto yokuzisibekela emakhazeni.
8 Bamanzi ngezihlambi zasezintabeni;basingatha idwala bengenasiphephelo.
9 Intandane ihlwithwa ebeleni,nengane yompofu ithathwa ibe yisibambiso,
10 bahambe nqunu bengenangubo,bethwele izithungu, belambile.
11 Benza amafutha phakathi kwezingange zabahluphi;banyathela izikhamo zewayini,kepha bayoma.
12 Bexoshwe emzini abafayo bayabubula;imiphefumulo yabalimeleyo iyakhala,kepha uNkulunkulu akanaki lokho okubi.
13 “Bakhona abakuhlubukile ukukhanya;abazi indlela yakho,abanamatheli emikhondweni yakho.
14 Umbulali uvuka ekuseni,abulale ompofu noswelayo;ebusuku unjengesela.
15 Iso lesiphingi libheka ukuhlwangokuthi: ‘Malingangiboni iso,’sisithe ubuso baso.
16 Bafohla izindlu sekumnyama;emini bayazivalela;ukukhanya abakwazi.
17 Ngokuba ithunzi lokufa kubo bonke labo linjengokusa,lokhu beyazi ingebhe yethunzi lokufa.
18 “Banejubane ebusweni bamanzi;izabelo zabo ziqalekisiwe emhlabeni;abasayikuphendukela endleleni yezivini.
19 Ukoma nokushisa kuyaqeda amanzi eqhwa;kanjalo indawo yabafileyo labo abonileyo.
20 Isizalo siyamkhohlwa;izimpethu ziyamsobozela;akasayikukhunjulwa;ukungalungi kuyaphulwa njengomuthi.
21 Uyayidla inyumba engazaliyo;akenzeli umfelokazi okuhle.
22 Uyadonsa namaqhawe ngamandla akhe;uyavuka; akakho osenethemba lokuphila.
23 UNkulunkulu uyamnika ukuba alondeke, asekelwe;kepha amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabo.
24 Bayaphakanyiswa;emva kwesikhashana abasekho;bayaphela njengabanye, bafe;babuna njengezihloko zezikhwebu.
25 “Uma kungenjalo,ngubani ongangenza onamanga,awenze ize amazwi ami, na?”
