| 1. | Thuthuzelani, bathuthuzeleni abantu bam, utsho uThixo wenu. |
| 2. | Thethani kakuhle neYerusalem, nimemeze kuyo, nithi kuzalisekile ukuphuma kwayo umkhosi; nithi, buhlawulelwe ubugwenxa bayo; nithi, yamkeliswe esandleni sikaYehova okuphindwe kabini kwizono zayo zonke. |
| 3. | Yivani omemezayo, esithi, Yigeceni entlango indlela kaYehova; tyenenezelani uThixo wethu umendo enkqantosini. |
| 4. | Yonke imifula mayinyuswe, zonke iintaba neenduli zigungxulwe; iindawo ezimagqagala zibe zithabazi, nemixawuka ibe ziintili; |
| 5. | butyhileke ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, ibubone inyama yonke kunye; ngokuba uthethile umlomo kaYehova. |
| 6. | Ilizwi lothile lathi, Memeza. Wathi yena, Ndimemeze ntoni na? Yithi, Yonke inyama ibutyani, bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengentyantyambo yasendle. |
| 7. | Buyoma utyani, iyabuna intyantyambo; ngokuba umoya kaYehova uvuthuza kuyo; inene, abantu babutyani. |
| 8. | Buyoma utyani, iyabuna intyantyambo; ke lona ilizwi likaThixo wethu liya kuma ngonaphakade. |
| 9. | Wena Ziyon, mshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo, nyuka uye entabeni ephakamileyo; wena Yerusalem, mshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo, liphakamise ngamandla ilizwi lakho, phakamisa ungoyiki. Yithi kwimizi yakwaYuda, Nanko uThixo wenu! |
| 10. | Uyabona, iNkosi uYehova iya kuza, ingowomeleleyo, ingalo yayo iyilawulela. Uyabona, umvuzo wayo inawo, nomsebenzi wayo uphambi kwayo. |
| 11. | Iya kuwalusa umhlambi wayo njengomalusi; iya kuwabutha ngeengalo zayo amatakane, iwathwale ngesifuba sayo, izithundeze ezanyisayo. |
| 12. | Ngubani na olinganise amanzi la entendeni yesandla sakhe, walilungisa izulu ngomoluko weminwe, walukhongozela uthuli lomhlaba ngomlinganiselo, wazilinganisa iintaba ngesilinganiso, neenduli ngesikali? |
| 13. | Ngubani na owalungisa uMoya kaYehova, waba yindoda emcebisayo, wamazisa? |
| 14. | Wacebisana nabani na owamqondisayo, wamfundisa umendo wesiko, wamfundisa ukwazi, wamazisa indlela yokuqonda? |
| 15. | Yabona, iintlanga zibalelwa ekubeni zinjengethontsi emphandeni, njengesuntswana esikalini. Yabona, iziqithi zinjengothuli oluqhaphukayo. |
| 16. | ILebhanon ayilingene kubaswa, neenyamakazi zayo azilingene kubalidini elinyukayo. |
| 17. | Zonke iintlanga zinjengento engento phambi kwakhe; kuye zibalelwa ekuthini asizanto, ziluchuku. |
| 18. | Ningamfanekisa ke nabani na uThixo, ninxulumise mfanekiselo mni na naye? |
| 19. | Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo utyhidwa yingcibi, awaleke ngegolide umnyibilikisi, awunyibilikisele imixokelelwane yesilivere. |
| 20. | Okhohliweyo ngumrhumo ukhetha umthi ongenakubola; uzifunela ingcibi eyaziyo, ukuba imlungisele umfanekiso oqingqiweyo ongayi kushukuma. |
| 21. | Anazi na? aniva na? anixelelwanga na kwasentloko? aniqondanga na kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi? |
| 22. | Ngulo uhlala phezu kwesazinge sehlabathi, abemi balo ke benjengemicikwane; ulowaneka izulu njengeqhiya eliyasuyasu, walitwabulula njengentente yokuhlala; |
| 23. | ulozenza izidwangube ukuba zingabi nto, abagwebi behlabathi abenze babe luchuku. |
| 24. | Bengekathi ukutyalwa, bengekathi ukuhlwayelwa, singekathi ukwendelisela iingcambu emhlabeni isiphunzi sabo, uselebafuthela bome, ubathabathe umoya ovuthuzayo njengomququ. |
| 25. | Niya kundifanisa nabani na, ndilingane naye? utsho oyiNgcwele. |
| 26. | Phakamiselani amehlo enu phezulu, nibone: ngubani na owadala ezi zinto? Ngulokhupha umkhosi wazo ngamaqela, uzibiza zonke ziphela ngamagama, ngenxa yobukhu bokomelela, ekhaliphile ngamandla; akusali nanye. |
| 27. | Yini na ukuba uthi, Yakobiuthethe uthi, Sirayeli Indlela yam isithele kuYehova, nebango lam lidlule kuThixo wam? |
| 28. | Akwazi na? akuvanga na, ukuba uThixo ongunaphakade nguYehova, tyhafi, akadinwa; ayinakugocwagocwa ingqondo yakhe. |
| 29. | Umnika otyhafileyo amandla, ongenakomelela amandisele ukuqina. |
| 30. | Namadodana angatyhafa adinwe, nabafana bakhubeke bawe; |
| 31. | ke bona abathembele kuYehova baya kuhlaziyeka emandleni; banyuke ngamaphiko njengeenkozi. Baya kugidima bangadinwa, bahambe bangatyhafi. |
