| 1. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi kogcotshiweyo wayo, kuKurosi, osandla sakhe sokunene ngisibambile ukuze ngehlisele phansi izizwe phambi kwakhe; njalo ngithukulule izinkalo zamakhosi, ukuvula phambi kwakhe amasango alezivalo ezimbili, lamasango angavalwa. |
| 2. | Mina ngizahamba phambi kwakho, ngenze indawo ezigobileyo ziqonde, ngiphahlaze izivalo zethusi, ngiqume imigoqo yensimbi. |
| 3. | Ngizakunika okuligugu kobumnyama, lenotho ethukuziweyo yezindawo ezisithekileyo, ukuze wazi ukuthi mina Nkosi, engikubiza ngebizo lakho, nginguNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli. |
| 4. | Ngenxa yenceku yami uJakobe, loIsrayeli umkhethwa wami, ngikubizile ngitsho ngebizo lakho, ngakunika isibongo, lanxa ungangazanga. |
| 5. | Ngiyi Nkosi, njalo kakho omunye, ngaphandle kwami kakulaNkulunkulu, ngikubhincisile lanxa ungangazanga. |
| 6. | Ukuze bazi kusukela lapho eliphuma khona ilanga, njalo kusukela entshonalanga, ukuthi kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; ngiyi Nkosi, njalo kakho omunye. |
| 7. | Ngibumba ukukhanya, ngidale umnyama; ngenza ukuthula, ngidale ububi; mina Nkosi ngenza zonke lezizinto. |
| 8. | Yehlisani, mazulu, kuvela phezulu, lamayezi athulule ukulunga; umhlaba kawuvuleke, njalo kuthele usindiso, njalo kakuthi ukulunga kumile kanyekanye; mina Nkosi ngikudalile. |
| 9. | Maye kuye ophikisana loMdali wakhe, udengezi lezindengezi zomhlaba! Ibumba lizakutsho yini kolibumbayo ukuthi: Wenzani? kumbe umsebenzi wakho: Kalazandla yini? |
| 10. | Maye kuye othi kuyise: Uzalani? kumbe kowesifazana: Ubeletheni? |
| 11. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, loMdali wakhe: Buzani kimi ngezinto ezizayo, ngamadodana ami, langomsebenzi wezandla zami liyangilaya. |
| 12. | Mina ngiwenzile umhlaba, ngadala umuntu phezu kwawo; mina, izandla zami zendlale amazulu, ngalawula amabutho awo wonke. |
| 13. | Mina ngimvusile ngokulunga, njalo ngizaqondisa zonke izindlela zakhe; yena uzakwakha umuzi wami, akhulule abathunjiweyo bami, kungengenxa yentengo njalo kungengenxa yesivalamlomo, kutsho i Nkosi yamabandla. |
| 14. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi: Umsebenzi weGibhithe, lokuthengiswayo kweEtiyopiya lokwamaShebha, amadoda amade, kuzadlulela kuwe, kuzakuba ngokwakho; bazakulandela, bedlule besemaketaneni, bakhothame kuwe, balabhele kuwe besithi: Isibili uNkulunkulu ukuwe, kakho omunye, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu. |
| 15. | Isibili unguNkulunkulu ozifihlayo, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, uMsindisi. |
| 16. | Bazayangeka, ngitsho babe lenhloni, bonke; bazahamba belehlazo kanyekanye ababazi bezithombe. |
| 17. | UIsrayeli uzasindiswa e Nkosi ni ngo sindiso olulaphakade; kaliyikuyangeka, kaliyikuba lenhloni, kuze kube nini lanini. |
| 18. | Ngoba itsho njalo i Nkosi eyadala amazulu, yona enguNkulunkulu, eyabumba umhlaba yawenza; yona yawumisa, ingawudalelanga ize, yawubumbela ukuze kuhlalwe kuwo, ithi: Ngiyi Nkosi, njalo kakho omunye. |
| 19. | Kangikhulumelanga ekusithekeni, endaweni emnyama yomhlaba, kangitshongo kuyo inzalo kaJakobe ukuthi: Ngidingani ngeze. Mina Nkosi ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngitsho izinto eziqotho. |
| 20. | Buthanani libuye; sondelani kanyekanye, lina elaphunyuka ezizweni; abamisa izigodo zezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo kabazi, abakhuleka kunkulunkulu ongelakusindisa. |
| 21. | Tshelani, li ba sondeze; yebo kabacebisane kanyekanye: Ngubani owazwakalisa lokhu kwasendulo? owakukhulumayo kusukela kulesosikhathi na? Kakusimi i Nkosi yini? Njalo kakho omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, uNkulunkulu olungileyo loMsindisi; kakho ngaphandle kwami. |
| 22. | Phendukelani kimi, lisindiswe, lina lonke mikhawulo yomhlaba; ngoba nginguNkulunkulu, njalo kakho omunye. |
| 23. | Ngizifungile mina, ilizwi liphumile emlonyeni wami ng okulunga, njalo kaliyikuphenduka, elithi: Lonke idolo lizangiguqela, lonke ulimi luzafunga. |
| 24. | Ngeqiniso, omunye uzakuthi: E Nkosi ni ngilokulunga lamandla; bazakuza kuyo; kodwa bonke abayithukuthelelayo bazayangeka. |
| 25. | Yonke inzalo yakoIsrayeli izalungisiswa e Nkosi ni, izincome. |
