| 1. | Isandla se Nkosi kasifinyezwanga ukuze singasizi, lendlebe yayo kayibuthundu ukuze ingezwa. |
| 2. | Kodwa ububi benu bulehlukanisile loNkulunkulu wenu, lezono zenu zibusithile ubuso bakhe ukuze angezwa. |
| 3. | Ngoba izandla zenu zingcoliswe ligazi, leminwe yenu ingcoliswe yibubi, lomlomo wenu uqambe amanga, lolimi lwenu lukhuluma ububi. |
| 4. | Kakho omangala ngendlela eqondileyo, kakho oya emthethweni ngendlela eqotho. Bathemba okuyize, bakhulume amanga, bamitha kubi, bazale ububi. |
| 5. | Bachamusela amaqanda ebululu, beluke ubulembu; odlayo emaqanda alo uyafa, kuthi kulo elichamiselweyo kuphume ibululu. |
| 6. | Ubulembu babo kabuyikuba yizembatho, labantu kabayikwembatha lokho abakwenzileyo. Imisebenzi yabo ibanga ububi, lezandla zabo zenza isihluku. |
| 7. | Balamawala okwenza okubi, baphangisa ukuchitha igazi elingelacala; amacebo abo ngamacebo obubi, lemigwaqo yabo emikhulu igcwele ukuchitheka lokubhubhisa. |
| 8. | Kabayazi indlela yokuthula, lezindlela zabo kazilakho ukulunga; benze imigwaqo yabo yaba ngamazombazombe, kakho ohamba ngayo owaziyo ukuthula. |
| 9. | Ngalokho-ke okufaneleyo kukhatshana lathi, lokulunga kakufinyeleli kithi. Sidinga ukukhanya, kodwa, khangela, sithola umnyama; sidinge imini, kodwa sihambe emnyameni. |
| 10. | Siphuthaza umduli njengesiphofu, siphuthaze njengalabo abangelamehlo; sikhubeke emini kungathi kukusihlwa, sinjengabafileyo elizweni labafileyo. |
| 11. | Siyabhonga njengamabhere, sikhale njengamajuba; sidinga ukulunga, kodwa singakutholi, sidinge ukukhululwa, kodwa kukhatshana lathi. |
| 12. | Ngoba sonile kuwe kanenginengi, lezono zethu zifakaze ngathi; ngoba siyazikhumbula zonke iziphambeko zethu, lobubi bethu siyabazi; |
| 13. | siyaphambeka, siyiphike i Nkosi, simhlamuke uNkulunkulu wethu, sikhulume ngocindezelo langokuhlamuka, sicabange ngamanga enhliziyweni zethu siwakhulume. |
| 14. | Okufaneleyo kubuyiselwa emuva, lokulunga kumi khatshana; ngoba iqiniso liyawa ezigcawini, lobuqotho kabulandawo. |
| 15. | Iqiniso kalikho, lowehlukana lobubi uzenza impango. I Nkosi yabona lokho, kwaba kubi kuyo ukuthi ukulunga kakukho. |
| 16. | Yabona ukuthi kwakungekho muntu osizayo, yamangala ukuthi kwakungekho muntu olamulayo; yasinqoba ngamandla ayo, lokulunga kwayo kwayisekela. |
| 17. | Yembatha ukulunga njengesivikelo sesifuba, yathwala ingowane yokunqoba ekhanda layo; yagqoka izembatho zempindiselo, yazigoqela ngentukuthelo njengejazi. |
| 18. | Izaphindisela njengokwenza kwabo, yehlisela ulaka ezitheni zayo, impindiselo kwabamelana layo; izaphindisela lakuzo izihlenge. |
| 19. | Bazalesaba ibizo le Nkosi entshonalanga, besabe ubukhulu bayo kusukela lapho eliphuma khona ilanga; ngoba izafika njengomfula okhukhulayo, ofuqwa nguMoya we Nkosi. |
| 20. | Izafika eZiyoni inguMhlengi, lakulabo abakoJakobe abatshiya iziphambeko zabo, kutsho i Nkosi. |
| 21. | Mina-ke, lesi yisivumelwano sami labo, itsho i Nkosi; uMoya wami ophezu kwakho, lamazwi ami engiwafake emlonyeni wakho, kawayikusuka emlonyeni wakho, lemlonyeni wenzalo yakho, lemlonyeni wenzalo yenzalo yakho, itsho i Nkosi, kusukela khathesi kuze kube phakade. |
