| 1. | Duduzani, liduduze abantu bami, utsho uNkulunkulu wenu. |
| 2. | Khulumani kunhliziyo yeJerusalema, limemeze kuyo ukuthi imfazo yayo iphelelisiwe, ukuthi ububi bayo buthethelelwe, ngoba yemukele esandleni se Nkosi okuphindwe kabili ngazo zonke izono zayo. |
| 3. | Ilizwi lomemezayo ehlane lithi: Lungisani indlela ye Nkosi, limqondisele uNkulunkulu wethu umgwaqo omkhulu enkangala. |
| 4. | Sonke isigodi sizaphakanyiswa, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswa; lokugobileyo kuzakwenziwa kuqonde, lendawo ezimaxhakaxhaka zibe ligceke. |
| 5. | Inkazimulo ye Nkosi izabonakaliswa, layo yonke inyama i yi bone kanyekanye, ngoba umlomo we Nkosi ukhulumile. |
| 6. | Ilizwi lathi: Memeza! Wasesithi: Ngizamemeza ngithini? Yonke inyama ibutshani, labo bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengeluba leganga. |
| 7. | Utshani buyabuna, iluba liyawohloka, ngoba uMoya we Nkosi uphephetha phezu kwakho; isibili abantu babutshani. |
| 8. | Utshani buyabuna, iluba liyawohloka; kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu wethu limi kuze kube nini lanini. |
| 9. | Wena Ziyoni, oletha izindaba ezinhle, khwela entabeni ende; wena Jerusalema, oletha izindaba ezinhle, phakamisa ilizwi lakho ngamandla, liphakamise ungesabi; tshono emizini yakoJuda uthi: Khangelani, uNkulunkulu wenu. |
| 10. | Khangela, iNkosi uJehova izakuza ngamandla, lengalo yayo izayibusela: khangela, umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo. |
| 11. | Izakwelusa umhlambi wayo njengomelusi, izabutha amawundlu ngengalo yayo, iwathwale esifubeni sayo, ikhokhele kuhle ezimunyisayo. |
| 12. | Ngubani olinganise amanzi entendeni yesandla sakhe, walinganisa amazulu ngeminwe eyeluliweyo, wahlanganisa uthuli lomhlaba esilinganisweni, walinganisa izintaba ngesikali, lamaqaqa ngezilinganiso? |
| 13. | Ngubani oqondise uMoya we Nkosi, kumbe wamfundisa eng umeluleki wakhe? |
| 14. | Yelulekane lobani, owayenza yaqedisisa, wayifundisa endleleni yesahlulelo, wayifundisa ulwazi, wayazisa indlela yokuqedisisa? |
| 15. | Khangela, izizwe zinjengethonsi lenkonxa, zibalwa njengothuli lwesikali. Khangela, uphakamisa izihlenge njengento encinyane kakhulu. |
| 16. | LeLebhanoni kayeneli ukutsha, lenyamazana zayo kazeneli umnikelo wokutshiswa. |
| 17. | Zonke izizwe zinjengezingasilutho phambi kwayo, zibalwa kuyo zingaphansi kokungelutho lokuyize. |
| 18. | Lizamfananisa lobani-ke uNkulunkulu, loba mfanekiso bani elizamlinganisa lawo? |
| 19. | Ingcitshi incibilikisa isithombe esibaziweyo, lomkhandi wegolide uyasinameka ngegolide, abumbe ngokuncibilikisa amaketane esiliva. |
| 20. | Lowo ongumyanga ongelamnikelo ukhetha isihlahla esingaboliyo, azidingele umbazi oyingcitshi ukuze alungise isithombe esingayikunyikinywa. |
| 21. | Kalazi yini? Kalizwanga yini? Kalitshelwanga yini kwasekuqaleni? Kaliqedisisanga yini kwasekusekelweni komhlaba? |
| 22. | Kunguye ohlala phezu kwesigombolozi somhlaba, labahlali bawo banjengentethe; owendlala amazulu njengekhetheni, awelule njengethente lokuhlala; |
| 23. | owenza iziphathamandla zingabi yilutho, enze abehluleli bomhlaba babe njengeze. |
| 24. | Yebo, kabayikugxunyekwa; yebo, kabayikuhlanyelwa; yebo isiqu sabo kasiyikugxila emhlabathini; laye uzaphephetha phezu kwabo babune; lesivunguzane sibasuse njengamabibi. |
| 25. | Pho, lizangifananisa lobani, engizafanana laye? kutsho oNgcwele. |
| 26. | Phakamiselani amehlo enu phezulu, likhangele odale lezizinto, okhipha ibutho lazo ngenani; azibize zonke ngamabizo ngobukhulu bamandla akhe, ngoba eqinile emandleni; kayikho leyodwa esilelayo. |
| 27. | Utsholoni, wena Jakobe, ukhulume, wena Israyeli ukuthi: Indlela yami isithekile e Nkosi ni lesahlulelo sami sedlule sivela kuNkulunkulu wami? |
| 28. | Kawazi yini, kawukezwa yini? UNkulunkulu olaphakade, i Nkosi, uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba kapheli amandla njalo kadinwa? Kakuphenyeki ukuqedisisa kwakhe. |
| 29. | Inika amandla abadangeleyo, lakwabangaqinanga yandisa amandla. |
| 30. | Labatsha bazaphelelwa ngamandla, badinwe, lamajaha azakuwa lokuwa; |
| 31. | kodwa abalindela i Nkosi bazavuselela amandla; bazaqonga ngempiko njengenkozi, bagijime bangadinwa, bahambe bangapheli amandla. |
