| 1. | Zwanini lokhu, lina ndlu kaJakobe, elabizwa ngebizo likaIsrayeli, elaphuma emanzini akoJuda, elifunga ngebizo le Nkosi, elikhuluma ngoNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kungeyisikho ngeqiniso, njalo kungeyisikho ngokulunga. |
| 2. | Ngoba bazibiza ngokuthi ba ngabomuzi oyingcwele, beseyama kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; i Nkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe. |
| 3. | Ngamemezela izinto zamandulo kwasekuqaleni, zaphuma emlonyeni wami, ngazizwakalisa, ngenza masinyane, zafika. |
| 4. | Ngoba ngangisazi ukuthi ulukhuni, lentamo yakho ngumsipha wensimbi, lebunzi lakho lithusi, |
| 5. | Ngitsho kwasekuqaleni ngamemezela kuwe, kungakenzakali ngakwenza wa ku zwa, hlezi uthi: Isithombe sami sizenzile, lesithombe sami esibaziweyo, lesithombe sami esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa sikulayile. |
| 6. | Usuzwile, khangela konke lokhu; njalo kaliyikukumemezela yini? Ngikwenze uzwe izinto ezintsha kusukela khathesi, lezinto ezifihlakeleyo obungazazi. |
| 7. | Zidalwe khathesi, kungeyisikho ekuqaleni; ngitsho lungakafiki lolusuku ungakezwa langazo, hlezi uthi: Khangela, bengizazi. |
| 8. | Yebo, kawuzwanga; yebo, kawazanga; yebo, kusukela ngalesosikhathi indlebe yakho yayingavulekanga; ngoba bengisazi ukuthi uzakwenza lokwenza ngenkohliso, wabizwa ngokuthi uyisiphambuki kusukela esizalweni. |
| 9. | Ngenxa yebizo lami ngizaphuzisa ulaka lwami, la ngenxa yodumo lwami ngizibambe ngawe, ukuze ngingakuqumi. |
| 10. | Khangela, ngikuhlolile, kodwa hatshi ngesiliva, ngikukhethile esithandweni somlilo senhlupheko. |
| 11. | Ngenxa yami, ngenxa yami ngiyakwenza; ngoba ibizo lami lingangcoliswa njani? Njalo kangiyikunika udumo lwami komunye. |
| 12. | Ngilalela, Jakobe, lawe Israyeli obiziweyo wami: Nginguye, ngingowokuqala, njalo ngingowokucina. |
| 13. | Isandla sami laso sabeka isisekelo somhlaba, lesandla sami sokunene sendlale amazulu; lapho ngikubiza, kuyasukuma kanyekanye. |
| 14. | Buthanani lina lonke, lizwe; ngubani phakathi kwabo omemezele lezizinto? I Nkosi imthandile, izakwenza intando yayo eBhabhiloni, lengalo yayo izakuba phezu kw amaKhaladiya. |
| 15. | Mina uqobo ngikhulumile; yebo ngambiza, ngimlethile, njalo uzaphumelelisa indlela yakhe. |
| 16. | Sondelani kimi, lizwe lokhu; kangikhulumanga ensitha kusukela ekuqaleni; kusukela kulesosikhathi kusenzeka, ngikhona. Khathesi-ke iNkosi uJehova kanye loMoya wayo ingithumile. |
| 17. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi, uMhlengi wakho, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli: Ngiyi Nkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ekufundisa okukusizayo, ekukhokhela ngendlela ofanele ukuthi uhambe ngayo. |
| 18. | Kungathi ngabe walalela imilayo yami! Khona ukuthula kwakho kwakuzakuba njengomfula, lokulunga kwakho njengamagagasi olwandle. |
| 19. | Inzalo yakho layo yayizakuba njengetshebetshebe, lomdeni wemibilini yakho njengokhethe lwalo; ibizo lwawo belingayikuqunywa kumbe lichithwe lisuke phambi kwami. |
| 20. | Phumani eBhabhiloni, libalekele amaKhaladiya, limemeze ngelizwi lokuhlabelela, likuzwakalise, likuphumisele kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba, lithi: I Nkosi ihlengile inceku yayo uJakobe. |
| 21. | Njalo kabomanga ibakhokhela bedabula izinkangala; yenza amanzi abagelezela evela edwaleni, futhi yaqhekeza idwala, lamanzi ampompoza. |
| 22. | Kakulakuthula, itsho I Nkosi, kwabakhohlakeleyo. |
