| 1. | Ngubani owayengakholwa esikuzwileyo? Amandla e Nkosi embulelwa bani? |
| 2. | Ngoba inceku yakhula njengehlumela phambi kwayo, lanjengempande emhlabathini owomileyo; yayingelasithunzi lobuhle ukuthi siyibuke, yayingabukeki ukuthi siyifune. |
| 3. | Yadelelwa, yaliwa ngabantu, yaba ngumuntu wezinhlupheko, ijwayele umkhuhlane; yaba njengomuntu owenza abantu ukuthi bangamkhangeli, yeyiswa, kasiyinanzanga. |
| 4. | Isibili yathwala eyethu imikhuhlane, yathwala insizi zethu. Kanti thina sathi itshayiwe, itshayiwe nguNkulunkulu, njalo ihlutshiwe. |
| 5. | Kodwa yalinyazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, yachotshozwa ngenxa yobubi bethu, ukujeziswa kokuthula kwethu kwakuphezu kwayo, langemivimvinya yayo siyasiliswa thina. |
| 6. | Thina sonke njengezimvu siduhile; saphenduka lowo lalowo ngendlela yakhe; njalo i Nkosi yehlisele phezu kwayo ububi bethu sonke. |
| 7. | Yacindezelwa, yahlutshwa, kanti kayivulanga umlomo wayo yalethwa ekuhlatshweni njengewundlu, lanjengemvu ethuleyo phambi kwabagundi bayo kayivulanga umlomo wayo. |
| 8. | Yabotshwa yagwetshwa, yasiwa ekufeni; ngubani owananza isiphetho sayo? Ngoba yaqunywa yasuka elizweni labaphilayo, itshaywa ngenxa yeziphambeko zabantu bami. |
| 9. | Bayingcwabela phakathi kwababi, ekufeni kwayo yayilomuntu onothileyo, ngoba yona ingenzanga okubi, kungekho inkohliso emlonyeni wayo. |
| 10. | Kanti i Nkosi yathanda ukuyichoboza, ya yi hlupha. Uba umphefumulo wayo usenza umnikelo wecala, izabona inzalo yayo, yelule izinsuku, lentando ye Nkosi izaphumelela esandleni sayo. |
| 11. | Izabona okuvela ekuhluphekeni komphefumulo wayo, yeneliswe; ngolwazi lwayo inceku yami elungileyo izalungisisa abanengi, ngoba izono zabo yona izazithwala. |
| 12. | Ngakho ngizayabela kanye labakhulu, yehlukaniselane impango labalamandla; ngoba yathululela umphefumulo wayo ekufeni, yabalwa kanye lezoni; njalo yona yathwala izono zabanengi, yalabhelela izoni. |
