| 1. | Isono sikaYuda sibhalwe ngenkxola yesinyithi, sakrolwa ngetsolo ledayiman elucwecweni lwentliziyo yabo, nasezimpondweni zezibingelelo zenu. |
| 2. | Njengokubakhumbula kwabo oonyana babo, bayazikhumbula izibingelelo zabo, nooAshera babo ngasemithini eluhlaza, ezindulini ezinde. |
| 3. | Ntaba yam esezweni, ubutyebi bakho nobuncwane bakho bonke ndibunikela ekuphangweni, neziganga zakho ngenxa yezono emideni yakho yonke. |
| 4. | Uya kuliyeka ngokwakho ilifa lakho endakunikayo, ndikukhonzise kwiintshaba zakho elizweni ongalaziyo; ngokuba niwuphembile umlilo ngomsindo wam, uvutha usa ephakadeni. |
| 5. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Iqalekisiwe indoda ekholose ngomntu, eyenza inyama ingalo yayo, intliziyo yayo imke nje kuYehova; |
| 6. | ibe njengochushuluzayo enkqantosini, ingaboni kufika nto ilungileyo; ime engqaqasini, entlango, ezweni letyuwa elingenammi. |
| 7. | Isikelelwe indoda ekholose ngoYehova, enkoloseko ikuYehova; |
| 8. | kuba yoba njengomthi omiliselwe emanzini, unabise iingcambu zawo phezu komlambo, ungoyiki xa kuthe kweza ubushushu; aqhame amagqabi awo, ungakhathali ngomnyaka wokubalela, ungayeki ukuvelisa iziqhamo. |
| 9. | Intliziyo inenkohliso ngaphezu kweento zonke, isisifo esibi; ngubani na onokuyazi? |
| 10. | Mna, Yehova, ndiyayigocagoca intliziyo, ndiyazicikida izintso, ukuze ndinike ulowo nalowo ngokwendlela yakhe, ngokwesiqhamo seentlondi zakhe. |
| 11. | Njengesikhwatsha esifukamela amaqanda esingawazalanga, unjalo ozuza ubutyebi ngokungesesikweni; uya kubushiya phakathi kwemihla yakhe, abe sisidenge ekupheleni kwakhe. |
| 12. | Wena trone yobuqaqawuli, mongamo kwasekuqaleni, ndawo yengcwele yethu; |
| 13. | themba likaSirayeli, Yehova, bonke abakushiyayo baya kudana. Abatyekayo kum baya kubhalelwa emhlabeni, ngokuba belishiyile ithende lamanzi aphilileyo, uYehova. |
| 14. | Ndiphilise, Yehova, ndiphile; ndisindise, ndisinde; ngokuba indumiso yam nguwe. |
| 15. | Yabona, bathi, Liphi na ilizwi likaYehova? malize kalokunje. |
| 16. | Mna andikubalekelanga ukuba ngumalusi emva kwakho; andiwunqwenelanga umhla onesifo, wena uyazi; okuphume emlonyeni wam bekuphambi kobuso bakho. |
| 17. | Musa ukundiqhiphula umbilini; ulihlathi lam ngomhla wobubi. |
| 18. | Mabadane abandisukelayo, mandingadani mna; mabaqhiphuke umbilini bona, mandingaqhiphuki umbilini mna; bazisele imini yobubi, ubaphule ngolwaphulo olubini. |
| 19. | UYehova watsho kum ukuthi, Hamba uye kuma esangweni loonyana babantu, abangena ngalo ookumkani bakwaYuda, abaphuma ngalo, nasemasangweni onke aseYerusalem; |
| 20. | uthi kubo, Liveni ilizwi likaYehova, ninakumkani bakwaYuda, nani maYuda nonke, nani bemi bonke baseYerusalem, bangenayo ngala masango. |
| 21. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Zigcineni ngenxa yemiphefumlo yenu, ningathwali mthwalo ngomhla wesabatha, niwungenise ngamasango aseYerusalem; |
| 22. | ningaphumi nomthwalo ezindlwini zenu ngomhla wesabatha, ningenzi nalinye ishishini. Wungcwaliseni umhla wesabatha, njengoko ndabawiselayo umthetho ooyihlo. |
| 23. | Ke abevanga, abazithobanga iindlebe zabo, bayenza lukhuni intamo yabo, ukuze bangevi, ukuze bangavumi ntethiso. |
| 24. | Kothi ke, ukuba nithe nandiphulaphula, utsho uYehova, anangenisa mthwalo ngamasango alo mzi ngomhla wesabatha, nawungcwalisa umhla wesabatha, anenza nalinye ishishini ngawo: |
| 25. | kothi ke kungene ngamasango alo mzi ookumkani nabathetheli, abahleli etroneni kaDavide, bekhwele ezinqwelweni nasemahasheni, bona, nabathetheli babo, amadoda akwaYuda, nabemi baseYerusalem; lo mzi umiwe ngonaphakade, |
| 26. | Baya kuvela emizini yakwaYuda, nangeenxa zonke eYerusalem, nasezweni lakwaBhenjamin, nasesithabazini, nakwelithe thabalala, nakwelisezantsi, bezisa amadini anyukayo, nemibingelelo, neminikelo yokudla, nentlaka emhlophe; bangenise umbulelo endlwini kaYehova. |
| 27. | Ke ukuba anithanga nindiphulaphule, ukuba niwungcwalise umhla wesabatha, ningathwali mthwalo, ningangeni ngamasango aseYerusalem ngomhla wesabatha: ndofaka isikhuni emasangweni ayo, udle iingxande ezinde zaseYerusalem, ungacinywa. |
