| 1. | Wathi ke uYehova kum, Kungafanelana kumi ooMoses noSamuweli phambi kwam, umphefumlo wam ubungebheki kwaba bantu. Bagxothe ebusweni bam, baphume. |
| 2. | Kuya kuthi, xa bathe kuwe, Siphume siye ngaphi na? uthi kubo, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Abokufa bafe; abekrele babe ngabekrele; abendlala babe ngabendlala; abokuthinjwa bathinjwe. |
| 3. | Ndobavelela ngeentlobo ezine, utsho uYehova: ikrele, ukuba libulale; izinja, ukuba zirhwiqilize; iintaka zezulu nezilo zomhlaba, ukuba zidle, ukuba zonakalise. |
| 4. | Ndobanikela kwizikumkani zonke zehlabathi ukuba babe yinto yokunqakulwa, ngenxa kaManase unyana kaHezekiya, ukumkani wakwaYuda, ngenxa yoko wakwenzayo eYerusalem. |
| 5. | Ewe, ngubani na oya kuba nofefe kuwe, Yerusalem? ngubani na oya kukukhuza? ngubani na oya kuphambuka, abuze ukuphila kwakho? |
| 6. | Wena undilahlile, utsho uYehova, ubuye umva; ndiya kusolula isandla sam ngakuwe, ndikonakalise; ndidiniwe kukuzohlwaya. |
| 7. | Ndiyabachithachitha ngexhayi emasangweni elizwe, ndibahluthe abantwana abantu bam, ndibatshabalalise, bengabuyi nje ezindleleni zabo. |
| 8. | Abahlolokazi babo baziimfidi kum kunentlabathi yolwandle; ndizisa kubo phezu konina wamadodana umbhuqi emini enkulu; ndibawisela ngesiquphe inimba nokukhwankqiswa. |
| 9. | Uyantshwenya ozele abasixhenxe, uphuma umphefumlo; liyatshona ilanga lakhe kusesemini; udanile, uneentloni; namasalela abo ndiwanikela ekreleni phambi kweentshaba zabo; utsho uYehova. |
| 10. | Athi ke mna, ma, ukuba uzale umna, umntu wembambano, umntu wengxabano nehlabathi lonke! Andibolekanga, andabolekwa; kanti bonke bephela bayanditshabhisa. |
| 11. | UYehova uthi, Inyaniso, ndiya kukuqinisela wena kokulungileyo; inyaniso, utshaba ndiya kulubongozisa kuwe, ngexesha lobubi nangexesha lembandezelo. |
| 12. | Sikha saphuke na isinyithi, isinyithi sasentla, nobhedu? |
| 13. | Ubutyebi bakho nobuncwane bakho ndobunikela ukuba bube lixhoba, kungengaxabiso, ngenxa yezono zakho zonke, nasemideni yakho yonke; |
| 14. | ndibuweze neentshaba zakho, ndibuye ezweni ongalaziyo; ngokuba kuphenjwe umlilo ngomsindo wam, uvutha phezu kwenu. |
| 15. | Wena, Yehova, uyazi, Ndikhumbule, undivelele, undiphindezelele kubasukeli bam; ekuzekeni kade komsindo wakho ungandikhukulisi; yazi ukuba ndithwele ihlazo ngenxa yakho. |
| 16. | Afumaneka amazwi akho, ndawadla; amazwi akho kum aba yimihlali nemivuyo yentliziyo yam, ngokuba ndabizwa ngegama lakho, Yehova, Thixo wemikhosi. |
| 17. | Andihlalanga embuthweni yabahleki, andidlamkanga nokudlamka; ngenxa yesandla sakho ndahlala ndedwa; ngokuba undizalisile ngokubhavuma. |
| 18. | Yini na ukuba umvandedwa wam uhlale uhleli, nenxeba lam libulale, lingavumi ukuphola? Wohla ube ngumlambo okhohlisayo na kum, omanzi angahlaliyo na? |
| 19. | Ngako oko utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ukuba uthe wabuya, ndokubuyisa, ubuye ume phambi kwam; ukuba uthe wakhupha okunqabileyo kokungeni, woba njengomlomo wam; abo baya kubuyela kuwe; ke wena akuyi kubuyela kubo. |
| 20. | Ndiya kukwenza udonga lobhedu olunqatyisiweyo kwaba bantu, balwe nawe, bangabi nakukuthini; ngokuba ndinawe, ukuze ndikusindise mna, ndikuhlangule; utsho uYehova. |
| 21. | Ndiya kukuhlangula esandleni sabangendawo, ndikukhulule ekubambeni kwabangcangcazelisayo. |
