| 1. | Maye kuAriyeli, iAriyeli umuzi uDavida amisa kuwo inkamba! Yengezelelani umnyaka emnyakeni; kayibhode imikhosi. |
| 2. | Kanti ngizayicindezela iAriyeli, njalo kube khona ukulila losizi; kuzakuba njengeAriyeli kimi. |
| 3. | Njalo ngizamisa inkamba inhlangothi zakho zonke, ngikuvimbezele ngedundulu, ngikumisele izinqaba ezimelene lawe. |
| 4. | Njalo uzakwehliselwa phansi, ukhulume usemhlabathini, lenkulumo yakho izakuba phansi ethulini, lelizwi lakho lizakuba njengeloledlozi liphuma emhlabathini, lenkulumo yakho ibe ngumlozwi ophuma othulini. |
| 5. | Njalo ixuku labezizwe bakho lizakuba njengothuli olucholekileyo, lexuku labalesihluku libe njengamakhoba adlulayo. Yebo, kuzahle kube masinyane. |
| 6. | Uzakwethekelelwa yi Nkosi yamabandla ngokuduma, langokuzamazama komhlaba, lomsindo omkhulu, isivunguzane, lesiphepho, lelangabi lomlilo oqothulayo. |
| 7. | Lexuku lezizwe zonke elilwa limelene leAriyeli, ngitsho zonke ezilwa zimelene layo lezinqaba zayo, leziyicindezelayo, zizakuba njengephupho, umbono webusuku. |
| 8. | Kuzakuba lanjengolambileyo ephupha; khangela-ke, uyadla, kodwa aphaphame, lomphefumulo wakhe ungelalutho; loba njengowomileyo ephupha, khangela-ke, uyanatha, kodwa aphaphame, khangela-ke uphelelwa ngamandla, lomphefumulo wakhe uyalangatha; lizakuba njalo ixuku lazo zonke izizwe ezilwa zimelene lentaba iZiyoni. |
| 9. | Manini, lithithibale; ziphumphuthekiseni liphumphutheke; badakiwe, kodwa hatshi ngewayini; bayadiyazela, kodwa hatshi ngenxa yokunathwayo okulamandla. |
| 10. | Ngoba i Nkosi ithululele phezu kwenu umoya wobuthongo obunzima, yavala amehlo enu; abaprofethi lezinhloko zenu, ababoni, ibagubuzele. |
| 11. | Lawo wonke umbono usube kini njengamazwi ogwalo olunanyekiweyo okuthi balunika owazi umbhalo, besithi: Bala lokhu siyakuncenga; yena athi: Ngingeke, ngoba lunanyekiwe. |
| 12. | Ugwalo beselunikwa ongazi umbhalo, besithi: Bala lokhu, siyakuncenga; yena athi: Kangiwazi umbhalo. |
| 13. | INkosi yasisithi: Ngenxa yokuthi lababantu besondela ngomlomo wabo langezindebe zabo bengihlonipha, kodwa babeka inhliziyo zabo khatshana lami, lokungesaba kwabo kufundiswa ngumlayo wabantu; |
| 14. | ngakho, khangela, ngizaqhubeka ukuphatha lababantu ngokumangalisayo, umsebenzi omangalisayo lesimanga; ngoba inhlakanipho yabahlakaniphileyo babo izaphela, lokuqedisisa kwabaqedisisayo babo kucatshe. |
| 15. | Maye kulabo abajula besuka e Nkosi ni ukuze bafihle icebo labo, lemisebenzi yabo isemnyameni, bathi: Ngubani osibonayo? Njalo ngubani osaziyo? |
| 16. | Ukugonqomisa kwenu kuthiwa kunjengebumba lombumbi! Ngoba umsebenzi uzakutsho yini ngaye owenzileyo ukuthi: Kangenzanga? Kumbe okubunjiweyo kungatsho yini ngombumbi wakho ukuthi: Kaqedisisi? |
| 17. | Kakuseyi sikha tshana esifitshane yini, ukuthi iLebhanoni liphendulwe libe yinsimu ethelayo, lensimu ethelayo ithiwe injengehlathi? |
| 18. | Njalo ngalolosuku izacuthe zizakuzwa amazwi ogwalo, lamehlo eziphofu abone ekufiphaleni lemnyameni. |
| 19. | Abathobekileyo labo bazakwandisa intokozo e Nkosi ni, labangabayanga ebantwini bathokoze koNgcwele kaIsrayeli. |
| 20. | Ngoba olesihluku kayikuba khona, lodelelayo uqediwe, labo bonke abalindele okubi bazaqunywa; |
| 21. | abenza umuntu one ngelizwi, bambekele umjibila okhuzayo esangweni, baphambule olungileyo ngento engelutho. |
| 22. | Ngakho itsho njalo i Nkosi eyahlenga uAbrahama, ngendlu kaJakobe: Khathesi uJakobe kayikuba lanhloni, lobuso bakhe khathesi kabuyikuhloba. |
| 23. | Ngoba lapho ebona abantwana bakhe, umsebenzi wezandla zami, phakathi kwakhe, bazangcwelisa ibizo lami; bangcwelise oNgcwele kaJakobe, besabe uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli. |
| 24. | Lalabo abaduhayo emoyeni bazakwazi ukuqedisisa, labangungunayo bazafunda imfundiso. |
