¹Kodwa khawukuve, Yobhi, ukuthetha kwam, Uwabekele indlebe amazwi am onke."

²Khawubone, ndiwuvulile umlomo wam, Luyathetha ulwimi lwam ekhuhlangubeni lam."

³Akukuthi tye kwentliziyo yam amazwi am; Ukwazi komlomo wam akuthetha kanyulu."

⁴UMoya kaThixo wandenza, Nokuphefumla kukaSomandla kundidlise ubomi."

⁵Ukuba unako, ndiphendule; Yakha uluhlu amazwi phambi kwam; misa."

⁶Uyabona, njengawe ndingokaThixo; Ndacatshulwa eludongweni nam."

⁷Yabona, ukothusa kwam akuyi kukudandathekisa; Nokushicilela kwam akuyi kuba nzima phezu kwakho."

⁸Okunene, uthethe ezindlebeni zam, Ndaliva ilizwi lokukhuluma, lisithi,"

⁹Ndiqaqambile, andinalukreqo; Ndiguxiwe, andinabugwenxa."

¹⁰Yabona, ufuna izizekabani zokuthibana nam, Uthi ndilutshaba lwakhe."

¹¹Uzifaka iinyawo zam esitokisini, Uwulinga wonke umendo wam."

¹²Yabona akulungisi ngaloo nto; ndokuphendula; Kuba uThixo yena mkhulu kunomntu."

¹³Yini na ukuba ubambane naye, Kuba engaphenduli ngeendawo zakhe zonke?"

¹⁴Kanti, hayi, ngendlela enye uThixo uyathetha, Nangezimbini, ke akukhathalwa."

¹⁵Ephupheni, embonweni wasebusuku, Bakuwelwa bubuthongo obukhulu abantu, Ekozeleni elukhukweni;"

¹⁶Uzityhila oko iindlebe zabantu, Akutywine akuvingce ukuthethiswa kwabo,"

¹⁷Ukuze amthinte umntu ekwenzeni into, Agubungele uqhankqalazo lomfo;"

¹⁸Awunqande umphefumlo wakhe esihogweni, Nobomi bakhe bungagqitheli emkhontweni."

¹⁹Wohlwaywa umntu ngumvandedwa esililini sakhe, Nayimfazwe esimakade emathanjeni akhe;"

²⁰Ubomi bakhe bukwale ukudla, Nomphefumlo wakhe wale ukudla okunqwenelekayo."

²¹Iyadleka inyama yakhe, ingabonakali, Avele amathambo akhe abengabonakali."

²²Uyasondela ke esihogweni umphefumlo wakhe, Nobomi bakhe kubabulali."

²³Ukuba ke kuthe kwakho isithunywa sezulu Esimlamlelayo, noko sisinye ewakeni, Sokumxelela umntu okumfaneleyo:"

²⁴Wombabala, athi, Mkhulule, angehli aye esihogweni, Kuba ndilufumene ucamagusho."

²⁵Isuka ibe nentlahla inyama yakhe; Ubuyela emihleni yobudodana bakhe;"

²⁶Uthandaza kuThixo, akholiswe yena nguye; Abubone ubuso bakhe eduma; Yena ambuyekeze ke umntu ubulungisa bakhe."

²⁷Lo uvuma ebantwini, athi, Bendonile, ndakugwenxa okuthe tye, Akwalinganiselwa kum njengoko noko."

²⁸Uwukhulule umphefumlo wam, ukuba ungagqitheli esihogweni, Nobomi bam bokubona ukukhanya."

²⁹Yabona, oko konke uyakwenza uThixo Izihlando ezibini nezithathu kumfo,"

³⁰Ukuba abuyise umphefumlo wakhe esihogweni, Ukhanye ngokukhanya kobomi."

³¹Baza indlebe, Yobhi, phulaphula kum; Yithi tu, ndithethe mna."

³²Ke ukuba unokuthetha, ndiphendule; Thetha, kuba ndifuna ukukugwebela."

³³Ukuba akukho, phulaphula kum wena; Yithi tu, ndikufundise ubulumko."
