1 Yihla, uhlale eluthulini, nkazanandini, ntombi inguBhabheli; hlala phantsi emhlabeni ungenatrone, ntombi ingamaKaledi; ngokuba akuyi kuba sathiwa uyimvoco, noxhamla ubuncwane.
2 Thabatha amatye, usile umgubo; bhenqa isigqubuthelo sakho, finyezela phezulu, tyhila umlenze, wela imilambo.
3 Mabutyhileke ubuze bakho, kubonakale nokungcikiveka kwakho; ndiya kuphindezela, andiyi kubuka mntu.
4 Umkhululi wethu, igama lakhe nguYehova wemikhosi, oyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.
5 Hlala uthi cwaka, ungeneemnyameni, ntombi ingamaKaledi; ngokuba akuyi kuba sabizwa ngokuba uyinkosikazi yezikumkani.
6 Ndaba noburhalarhume kubantu bam, ndalingcolisa ilifa lam, ndabanikela ezandleni zakho; akwaba namfesane kubo; naphezu kwamadoda amakhulu wayenza yanzima kakhulu idyokhwe yakho.
7 Ubusithi, Ndiya kuba yinkosikazi ngonaphakade; wada akwakunyamekela oko ngentliziyo, akwalikhumbula ikamva lakho oko.
8 Kaloku ke yiva oku, wena mxhamli weziyolo, uhleliyo ukholosile, wena uthi entliziyweni yakho, Ndim kwaphela, akukho wumbi; andiyi kuhlala ndingumhlolokazi, andiyi kukwazi ukungabi nabantwana.
9 Ziya kukuzela ezo zinto zombini ngephanyazo, ngamini-nye, ukungabi nabantwana nobuhlolokazi; ziya kukuzela ngokugqibelela kwazo ebuninzini bokukhafula kwakho, enkitheni eninzi yomabophe bakho.
10 Ngokuba ukholose ngezinto zakho ezimbi, wathi, Akukho undibonayo; ubulumko bakho nokwazi kwakho kuko okukuphambanisileyo; wathi entliziyweni yakho, Ndim kwaphela, akukho wumbi.
11 Bokuzela ke ububi, ungakwazi ukubunyanga; ikuwele inkohlakalo, ungabi nako ukuyicamagushela; ikuzele ngesiquphe intshabalala ongayaziyo.
12 Khawumise ngomabophe bakho, nangokukhafula kwakho okuninzi, ozixhamle ngako kwasebuncinaneni bakho; mhlawumbi ungaba nokunceda, mhlawumbi ungaba nokweyisa.
13 Udiniwe bubuninzi bamaqhinga akho; mabamise kaloku, bakusindise oonocanda bezulu, oojongiinkwenkwezi, abakwazisayo ekuthwaseni kwenyanga ngenyanga izinto ezikuzelayo.
14 Yabona, basuke baba njengeendiza; umlilo ubatshisile; abanakuwuhlangula umphefumlo wabo emandleni elangatye; akukho lahle lakuzifudumeza, akukho mlilo kungahlalwa phambi kwawo.
15 Boba njalo kuwe abo uzixhamle ngabo, ababerhwebelana nawe kwasebuncinaneni bakho; elowo uya kundwendwela ecaleni lakhe, kungabikho ukusindisayo.
