| 1. | Kodwa khathesi itsho njalo i Nkosi eyakudalayo, Jakobe, leyakubumbayo, Israyeli: Ungesabi; ngoba ngikuhlengile, ngakubiza ngebizo lakho; ungowami. |
| 2. | Lapho udabula emanzini ngizakuba lawe, lemifuleni, kayiyikukukhukhula; lapho uhamba udabula emlilweni, kawuyikutsha, lelangabi kaliyikukulumathisa. |
| 3. | Ngoba ngiyi Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, uMsindisi wakho. Nginikele iGibhithe libe lihlawulo lokuthula lakho, iEtiyopiya leSeba esikhundleni sakho. |
| 4. | Njengoba wawuligugu emehlweni ami, wawudumile, njalo mina ngikuthandile. Ngakho ngizanika abantu esikhundleni sakho, lezizwe endaweni yempilo yakho. |
| 5. | Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizaletha inzalo yakho ivela empumalanga, ngikubuthe uvela entshonalanga; |
| 6. | ngizakutsho kuyo inyakatho: Phana; lakuningizimu: Ungagodli; lethani amadodana ami akhatshana, lamadodakazi ami asemkhawulweni womhlaba, |
| 7. | wonke obizwa ngebizo lami; ngoba ngimdalele udumo lwami, ngimbumbile, yebo ngimenzile. |
| 8. | Khuphani abantu abayiziphofu abalamehlo, lezacuthe ezilendlebe. |
| 9. | Izizwe zonke kazibuthane ndawonye, labantu bahlangane. Ngubani phakathi kwabo ongamemezela lokhu, asenze sizwe izinto zamandulo? Kabalethe abafakazi babo, ukuze balungisiswe, kumbe bezwe bathi: Kuliqiniso. |
| 10. | Lingabafakazi bami, kutsho i Nkosi, lenceku yami engiyikhethileyo: ukuze lazi, lingikholwe, liqedisise ukuthi nginguye; ngaphambi kwami kakubunjwanga unkulunkulu, langemva kwami kayikuba khona. |
| 11. | Mina, mina ngiyi Nkosi; langaphandle kwami kakulamsindisi. |
| 12. | Ngimemezele, ngasindisa, ngazwakalisa, kungakabikho unkulunkulu wezizwe phakathi kwenu; ngakho lingabafakazi bami, kutsho i Nkosi, ukuthi nginguNkulunkulu. |
| 13. | Yebo, kungakabi khona usuku, mina nginguye; njalo kakho ongakhulula esandleni sami; ngizasebenza, njalo ngubani ongakubuyisela emuva? |
| 14. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi, uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli: Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBhabhiloni, ngehlisele phansi bonke ababalekayo babo, lamaKhaladiya osimemezelo sawo sisemikhunjini. |
| 15. | Ngiyi Nkosi, oNgcwele wenu, uMdali kaIsrayeli, inkosi yenu. |
| 16. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi, eyenza indlela olwandle, lomkhondo emanzini alamandla, |
| 17. | ekhupha inqola lebhiza, ibutho lamandla; kuzalala ndawonye, kakuyikuvuka; kuzaphela du, kucitshe njengentambo yesibane. |
| 18. | Lingakhumbuli izinto zakuqala, linganakani ngezinto zendulo. |
| 19. | Khangelani, ngizakwenza into entsha; khathesi kuzahluma, kaliyikukwazi yini? Yebo, ngizakwenza indlela enkangala, imifula ogwaduleni. |
| 20. | Inyamazana zeganga zizangidumisa, amakhanka lamadodakazi ezintshe; ngoba nginika amanzi enkangala, imifula ehlane, ukunathisa abantu bami, abakhethiweyo bami. |
| 21. | Lababantu ngizibumbele bona; bazalandisa udumo lwami. |
| 22. | Kanti kawungibizanga, Jakobe; kodwa udiniwe ngami, Israyeli. |
| 23. | Kawulethanga kimi izimvu zomnikelo wakho wokutshiswa, kawungihloniphanga ngemihlatshelo yakho. Kangikwenzanga wakhonza ngomnikelo, kangikudinisanga ngempepha. |
| 24. | Kawungithengelanga umhlanga wamakha ngemali, njalo kawungisuthisanga ngamahwahwa emihlatshelo yakho; kodwa ungenze ngasebenza ngezono zakho, wangidinisa ngeziphambeko zakho. |
| 25. | Mina, mina nginguye owesula iziphambeko zakho ngenxa yami, kangiyikuzikhumbula izono zakho. |
| 26. | Ngikhumbuza: kasehlulelane; landisa wena, ukuze ulungisiswe. |
| 27. | Uyihlo wokuqala wona, labachasisi bakho baphambukile bemelene lami. |
| 28. | Ngakho ngingcolise iziphathamandla zendlu engcwele, nganikela uJakobe ekutshabalalisweni, loIsrayeli ekuthukweni. |
