| 1. | Maye ebantwaneni abahlamukayo! itsho i Nkosi, abenza icebo, kodwa elingeyisilo elami, abembesa ngesembeso, kodwa esingesiso so moya wami, ukuze bengezelele isono phezu kwesono. |
| 2. | Abahamba ukwehlela eGibhithe, njalo bengabuzanga umlomo wami, ukuze baziqinise emandleni kaFaro, bathembele emthunzini weGibhithe! |
| 3. | Ngakho amandla kaFaro azakuba yinhloni kini, lokuthembela emthunzini weGibhithe kube yikuyangeka. |
| 4. | Ngoba iziphathamandla zakhe zaziseZowani lezithunywa zakhe zafika eHanesi. |
| 5. | Bonke izabayangisa ngabantu ababengelakubasiza, bangabi luncedo njalo bangabi yinzuzo, kodwa babe luyangiso njalo babe lihlazo. |
| 6. | Umthwalo wezilo zeningizimu. Elizweni lokucindezelwa lembandezelo, lapho okuvela khona ibhongo lesilwane, ibululu lenyoka ephaphayo elokutshisa, bathwala inotho yabo emhlane wamathole abobabhemi, lokuligugu kwabo phezu kwamalunda amakamela, bekusa ebantwini abangelasizo. |
| 7. | Ngoba amaGibhithe azasiza ngeze langokungelalutho; ngakho ngakhala ngalokhu ngathi: Amandla abo yikuhlala bathule. |
| 8. | Khathesi hamba, ukubhale phambi kwabo esibhebheni, ukulobe ngokugubha egwalweni, ukuze kube khona kuze kube lusuku lokucina, kuze kube laphakade. |
| 9. | Ngoba bangabantu abavukelayo, abantwana abaqamba amanga, abantwana abangathandi ukuzwa umlayo we Nkosi; |
| 10. | abathi kubaboni: Lingaboni; lakubakhangeli: Lingasikhangeleli izinto eziqondileyo; khulumani kithi izinto ezibutshelezi, likhangele izinkohliso, |
| 11. | phumani endleleni, liphambuke lisuke emkhondweni, lisuse oNgcwele kaIsrayeli phambi kwethu. |
| 12. | Ngakho utsho njalo oNgcwele kaIsrayeli uthi: Ngoba lidelele lelilizwi, lathembela kucindezelo lokuphambeneyo, labambelela kukho. |
| 13. | Ngakho lobububi buzakuba kini njengomkenke osuzakuwa, ukhukhumala emdulini omude, okudilika kwawo kuhle kufike masinyazane. |
| 14. | Yebo, uzawephula njengokwephulwa kwembiza yababumbi ephahaziweyo; kayikuyekela, ukuze kungatholakali ezicucwini zayo udengezi lokokha umlilo eziko, kumbe ukukha amanzi emthonjeni. |
| 15. | Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli: Ngokuphenduka lokuphumula lizasindiswa; ngokuthula langokwethemba kuzakuba ngamandla enu; kodwa kalifunanga. |
| 16. | Kodwa lathi: Hatshi, ngoba sizabaleka ngamabhiza; ngakho-ke lizabaleka; njalo: Sizagada amabhiza alejubane; ngakho-ke abalixotshayo bazakuba lejubane. |
| 17. | Inkulungwane eyodwa izabaleka ngokukhalima koyedwa; ngokukhalima kwabahlanu lizabaleka, lize lisale njengensika phezu kwengqonga yentaba, lanjengesiboniso phezu koqaqa. |
| 18. | Ngakho-ke i Nkosi izalinda, ukuze ibe lomusa kini, ngakho-ke izaphakanyiswa ukuthi ibe lesihawu kini; ngoba i Nkosi ing uNkulunkulu wesahlulelo; babusisiwe bonke abalindela kuyo. |
| 19. | Ngoba abantu bazahlala eZiyoni eJerusalema: kaliyikukhala lokukhala inyembezi; izakuba lomusa omkhulu kuwe elizwini lokukhala kwakho; lapho isizwa lona, izakuphendula. |
| 20. | Loba iNkosi ilinika isinkwa sosizi lamanzi okuhlupheka, kanti abafundisi bakho kabasayikususelwa engonsini, kodwa amehlo akho azabona abafundisi bakho. |
| 21. | Lendlebe zakho zizakuzwa ilizwi emva kwakho lisithi: Le yiyo indlela, hambani ngayo, lapho liphambukela ngakwesokunene lalapho liphambukela ngakwesokhohlo. |
| 22. | Lizangcolisa lokunanyekiweyo kwezithombe zakho ezibaziweyo zesiliva, lokunanyekiweyo kwezithombe zakho zegolide ezibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa; lizihlakaze njengelembu losesikhathini, lithi kuzo: Phumani! |
| 23. | Khona izanika izulu lenhlanyelo yakho ozayihlanyela emhlabathini, lesinkwa sesivuno somhlaba; uzavunda ucicime. Ngalolosuku izifuyo zenu zizakudla emadlelweni abanzi; |
| 24. | lezinkabi labobabhemi abatsha okulima umhlabathi kuzakudla umcantsha, oweliweyo ngefotsholo langefologwe. |
| 25. | Laphezu kwayo yonke intaba ende laphezu kwalo lonke uqaqa oluphakemeyo kuzakuba lemifula le zifudlana zamanzi ngosuku lokubulawa okukhulu, lapho kusiwa imiphotshongo. |
| 26. | Futhi ukukhanya kwenyanga kuzakuba njengokukhanya kwelanga, lokukhanya kwelanga kuphindwe kasikhombisa, njengokukhanya kwensuku eziyisikhombisa, mhla i Nkosi ibopha ukwephuka kwabantu bayo, ipholisa umvimvinya wesilonda sabo. |
| 27. | Khangela, ibizo le Nkosi livela khatshana, livutha ulaka lwayo, lomthwalo walo unzima; indebe zayo zigcwele intukuthelo lolimi lwayo lunjengomlilo oqothulayo; |
| 28. | lokuphefumula kwayo kunjengesifula esiphuphumayo size sifike phakathi kwentamo, ukuhlungula izizwe ngesihlungulo sobuze; njalo kuzaba letomu eliduhisayo emihlathini yabantu. |
| 29. | Lizakuba lengoma, njengeyobusuku bokwehlukaniswa komkhosi, lokuthokoza kwenhliziyo, njengohamba lomhubhe esiya entabeni ye Nkosi, eDwaleni lakoIsrayeli. |
| 30. | I Nkosi izazwakalisa-ke ilizwi layo elilodumo, ibonakalise ukwehla kwengalo yayo, ngentukuthelo yolaka, lelangabi lomlilo oqothulayo, isivunguvungu, lezulu lesiphepho, langesiqhotho. |
| 31. | Ngoba ngelizwi le Nkosi amaAsiriya azaphahlazwa, itshaya ngenduku. |
| 32. | Kuzakuthi yonke indawo okwedlula khona induku emisiweyo, i Nkosi eyibeka phezu kwayo, kube ngezigubhu langamachacho, langezimpi zokunyikinya ilwe labo. |
| 33. | Ngoba iThofethi yahlelwa endulo, layo yamiselwa inkosi; yayenza yatshona, yaba banzi, inqumbi yayo ingumlilo lenkuni ezinengi; ukuphefumula kwe Nkosi kuyayithungela njengesifula sesolufa*. |
