| 1. | Qaphelani ukuthi umsebenzi wenu womusa lingawenzi phambi kwabantu ukuze libonwe yibo; nxa kunge njalo, alilamvuzo kuYihlo osemazulwini. |
| 2. | Ngakho nxa usenza umsebenzi womusa, ungakhalisi uphondo phambi kwakho, njengokwenza kwabazenzisi emasinagogeni lezindleleni, ukuze badunyiswe ngabantu; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewemukele umvuzo wabo. |
| 3. | Kodwa wena nxa usenza umsebenzi womusa isandla sakho sokhohlo kasingakwazi esikwenzayo esokunene sakho, |
| 4. | ukuze umsebenzi wakho womusa ube sekusithekeni; njalo uYihlo obona ekusithekeni, yena uzakuvuza obala. |
| 5. | Lalapho likhuleka, lingabi njengabazenzisi, ngoba bona bathanda ukukhuleka bemi emasinagogeni lemahlanganweni endlela, ukuze babonwe ngabantu; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewemukele umvuzo wabo. |
| 6. | Kodwa wena nxa ukhuleka, ngena endlini yakho yensitha, ubusuvala umnyango wakho, ukhuleke kuYihlo osensitha; njalo uYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakuvuza obala. |
| 7. | Njalo uba likhuleka lingaphindaphindi njengabezizwe; ngoba bacabanga ukuthi bazakuzwiwa ngokukhuluma kwabo okunengi. |
| 8. | Ngakho lingafanani labo; ngoba uYihlo uyakwazi elikuswelayo, lingakaceli kuye. |
| 9. | Ngakho lina khulekani ngokunje: Baba wethu osemazulwini, kalihlonitshwe ibizo lakho; |
| 10. | umbuso wakho kawuze; intando yakho kayenziwe, lemhlabeni njengezulwini; |
| 11. | siphe lamuhla ukudla kwethu kwensuku zonke; |
| 12. | njalo usithethelele amacala ethu, njengalokhu lathi sibathethelela abalamacala kithi; |
| 13. | njalo ungasingenisi ekulingweni, kodwa usikhulule ebubini. Ngoba umbuso ungowakho lamandla lenkazimulo kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. |
| 14. | Ngoba uba lithethelela abantu iziphambeko zabo, uYihlo osezulwini uzalithethelela lani. |
| 15. | Kodwa uba lingathetheleli abantu iziphambeko zabo, loYihlo kayikulithethelela iziphambeko zenu. |
| 16. | Futhi nxa lizila ukudla, lingabi lobuso obudanileyo njengabazenzisi; ngoba benyukumalisa ubuso babo, ukuze babonakale ebantwini ukuthi bazilile; ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewemukele umvuzo wabo. |
| 17. | Kodwa wena nxa uzila ukudla gcoba ikhanda lakho, ugeze ubuso bakho, |
| 18. | ukuze ungabonakali ebantwini ukuthi uzilile ukudla, kodwa kuYihlo osekusithekeni; njalo uYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakuvuza obala. |
| 19. | Lingazibekeli impahla eziligugu emhlabeni, lapho inundu lokuthomba okona khona, lalapho amasela afohlela khona abeseseba; |
| 20. | kodwa zibekeleni izinto eziligugu ezulwini, lapho inundu lokuthomba okungoni khona, lalapho amasela angafohleli khona ebe. |
| 21. | Ngoba lapho okukhona impahla yenu eligugu, lenhliziyo yenu izakuba lapho. |
| 22. | Isibane somzimba yilihlo; ngakho uba ilihlo lakho liphilile, umzimba wakho wonke uzagcwala ukukhanya; |
| 23. | kodwa uba ilihlo lakho lilibi, umzimba wakho wonke uzakuba lobumnyama. Ngakho uba ukukhanya okuphakathi kwakho kuyibumnyama, umnyama mkhulu kangakanani ! |
| 24. | Kakho ongakhonza amakhosi amabili; ngoba uzazonda enye, athande enye; kumbe uzabambelela kwenye, adelele enye. Lingekhonze uNkulunkulu loMamona*. |
| 25. | Ngakho ngithi kini: Lingaphisekeli impilo yenu, ukuthi lizakudlani lokuthi lizanathani; lomzimba wenu, ukuthi lizakwembathani. Impilo kayidluli yini ukudla, lomzimba izembatho? |
| 26. | Khangelani inyoni zezulu, ukuthi kazihlanyeli njalo kazivuni, kazibutheli eziphaleni; kanti uYihlo osezulwini uyazondla; lina kalizidluli kakhulu yini? |
| 27. | Njalo nguwuphi kini ngokuphisekela ongengezelela ingalo ibenye ebudeni bakhe? |
| 28. | Langezembatho liphisekelani? Qaphelisani imiduze yeganga, ukuthi ikhula njani; kayitshikatshiki, kayiphothi; |
| 29. | kodwa ngithi kini: LoSolomoni ebucwazicwazini bakhe bonke wayengembathiswanga njengomunye wayo. |
| 30. | Njalo uba uNkulunkulu esembathisa ngokunjalo utshani beganga, obukhona lamuhla, kuthi kusasa buphoswe eziko, kayikule mbathisa kakhulu yini, lina abokholo oluncinyane? |
| 31. | Ngakho lingaphisekeli lutho, lisithi: Sizakudlani? Kumbe: Sizanathani? Loba: Sizakwembathani? |
| 32. | Ngoba zonke lezizinto izizwe ziyazidinga; ngoba uYihlo osezulwini uyazi ukuthi liyaziswela zonke lezizinto. |
| 33. | Kodwa dingani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu lokulunga kwakhe, njalo zonke lezizinto zizakwengezelelwa kini. |
| 34. | Ngakho lingaphisekeli ikusasa; ngoba ikusasa izaziphisekela yona; bulwanele usuku obalo ububi. |
