| 1. | Ngoko ke ndithi, UThixo ubagibile na abantu bakhe? Nakanye! Kuba nam lo ndingumSirayeli wasembewini ka-Abraham, wesizwe sikaBhenjamin. |
| 2. | UThixo akabagibanga bona abantu bakhe, abebazi ngenxa engaphambili. Okanye aniyazi na indawo ethetha ngoEliya esibhalweni, ukumangalela kwakhe amaSirayeli kuThixo, esithi, |
| 3. | Nkosi, abaprofeti bakho ababulele, nezibingelelo zakho azichithile; mna ndisele ndedwa; afuna ke ubomi bam? |
| 4. | Sisuka esikaThixo isihlabo sithini na kuye? Sithi, Ndizishiyele amadoda angamawaka asixhenxe, angagobanga dolo kuBhahali wona. |
| 5. | Ngokunjalo ke ngoko, nakweli xesha lakalokunje, kukho amasalela ngokonyulo lobabalo. |
| 6. | Ukuba ke kungobabalo, akusengamisebenzi; okanye ubabalo alungebi saba lubabalo. |
| 7. | Kuthiweni na ngoko? Kuthiwe, Khona oko akungxameleyo amaSirayeli akakufumananga; ke abanyuliweyo bakufumana, bathi ke abanye baqaqadekiswa; |
| 8. | njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, UThixo ubanike umoya wokuqoba, amehlo okuba bangaboni, neendlebe zokuba bangeva, kwada kwaba yimini yanamhla. |
| 9. | Kanjalo uDavide uthi, Isithebe sabo masibe sisibatha, nesihogo sokubambisa, Nesikhubekiso, nesiphindezelo kubo: |
| 10. | Makenziwe abe mnyama amehlo abo, ukuba bangaboni; Nomhlana wabo wugobe amaxa onke. |
| 11. | Ndithi ngoko, Bakhubeka ukuze bawe na? Nakanye! Kuthe ngesiphoso sabo, usindiso lwafika kuzo iintlanga, ukuze zibakhweletise. |
| 12. | Ukuba ke isiphoso sabo siba bubutyebi behlabathi, nokuncipha kwabo kuba bubutyebi beentlanga, yobeka phi na inzaliseko yabo? |
| 13. | Kuba ndithetha kuni, zintlanga. Ekubeni okunene mna ndingumpostile weentlanga, ndiyaluzukisa ulungiselelo lwam; |
| 14. | ukuba ndingade ndibakhweletise abenyama yam, ndisindise inxenye yabo. |
| 15. | Kuba xa ukulahlwa kwabo kuluxolelaniso lwehlabathi, koba yintoni na ukwamkelwa kwabo? Akububomi obuphuma kwabafileyo, yini na? |
| 16. | Ukuba ke intlahlela ingcwele, ikwanjalo nentlama; ukuba ke ingcambu ingcwele, akwanjalo namasebe. |
| 17. | Ke ukuba inxenye yamasebe yaxhuzulwa, wathi ke wena, ungumnquma wasendle nje, wamiliselwa phakathi kwawo, waba lidlelane nengcambu nokutyeba komnquma: |
| 18. | musa ukuwaqhayisela amasebe; ke ukuba uyawaqhayisela, yazi ukuba asinguwe oyithweleyo ingcambu; yingcambu ethwele wena. |
| 19. | Uya kuthi ngoko, Axhuzulwa amasebe, ukuze mna ndimiliselwe. |
| 20. | Utyaphile; axhuzulwa ngokungakholwa, ke wena umi ngokholo; musa ukukratsha, yoyika. |
| 21. | Kuba, xa uThixo angawaconganga awasemvelweni amasebe, lumka hleze angakucongi nawe lo. |
| 22. | Khawububone ke ububele nobukhali bukaThixo; ubukhali okunene kwabo bawayo; kodwa kuwe, ububele, ukuba uthe wahlala kobo bubele; okanye wogawulwa nawe lo. |
| 23. | Nabo ke, ukuba abathanga bahlale ekungakholweni, bomiliselwa; kuba uThixo unako ukubuya abamilisele. |
| 24. | Kuba wena, xa wagawulwa kumnquma ongowasendle ngokwemvelo, waza wamiliselwa ngokunxamnye nemvelo komhle umnquma: bobeka phi na aba bangamasebe ngokwemvelo, ukumiliselwa kwabo kowabo umnquma? |
| 25. | Kuba andithandi, bazalwana, ukuba ningayazi le mfihlelo, ukuze ningabi ziingqondi ngokwenu: le yokuba ukuqaqadeka kuwahlele amaSirayeli ngenxenye, ide ingene inzaliseko yazo iintlanga; |
| 26. | aze ngokunjalo ke wonke uSirayeli asindiswe, njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uya kuvela eZiyon uMhlanguli, Akusonge kumke kwaYakobi ukungahloneli Thixo. |
| 27. | Nguwo ke lo umnqophiso wam nabo, Xa ndithe ndazisusa izono zabo. |
| 28. | Okunene ngokweendaba ezilungileyo, baziintshaba ngenxa yenu; kodwa ngokonyulo, ngabaziintanda ngenxa yoobawo. |
| 29. | Kuba azinabuyambo izibabalo ezi, nobizo olu lukaThixo. |
| 30. | Kuba, njengokuba nani benifudula ningamvi uThixo, ngoku ke nenzelwe inceba kukungeva kwabo abo; |
| 31. | kwangokunjalo, nabo ababanga namvo ngoku, ukuze ngokwenzelwa kwenu inceba, benzelwe nabo inceba. |
| 32. | Kuba uThixo ubavalele ndawonye entsweleni-kuva bonke, ukuze abenzele inceba bonke. |
| 33. | Hayi, ubunzulu bobutyebi nobobulumko nobokwazi kukaThixo! Asikuko nokuba ayiphengululeki imigwebo yakhe, azilandeki iindlela zakhe! |
| 34. | Kuba ngubani na oyazileyo ingqiqo yeNkosi? Ngubani na khona othe waba ngumcebisi wayo? |
| 35. | Ngubani na khona owayinikayo ngenxa engaphambili, kwaza kwabuyekezwa kuye? |
| 36. | Ngokuba ziphuma kuyo ke, zikho ngayo, zikholo yona, zonke ezo zinto. Malube kuyo uzuko, kude kube ngunaphakade. Amen. |
