Ukugonyamela nenkohlakalo eluntwini
1Athi ke mna! Kuba ndisuke ndaba njengokuhlanganiswa kweziqhamo zasehlotyeni, njengokubhikicwa kweediliya; akukho sihloko sakudliwa; akukho khiwane liqalelayo, linqwenelwayo ngumphefumlo wam. 2Udakile owenceba, àkabakho ehlabathini; akasekho nothe tye phakathi koluntu; bonke bephela balalela igazi, elowo uzingela umzalwana wakhe ngomnatha.
3Izandla zabo zozibini zisentweni embi ukuba ziyifeze; uthi umthetheli acele ngegunya, umgwebi enzele umvuzo; omkhulu yena uthetha ububi bomphefumlo wakhe; benjenjalo ke ukuyiphotha. 4Olungileyo kubo unjengomtholo, othe tye ugqithisele nakuthango lweminga; iyéza imini yababoniseli bakho, yokuvelelwa kwakho, kubekho ngoku ukudideka kwabo.
5Musani ukukholwa nguwenu, ningakholosi ngekholwane; nakolele esifubeni sakho, zígcine iingcango zomlomo wakho. 6Ngokuba unyana úmenza isidenge uyise, intombi isukela phezulu kunina, umolokazana kuninazala; iintshaba zomntu ngabantu bendlu yakhe.
Inkoloseko kaSirayeli kuThixo
7Mna ke ndiya kuqwalasela kuYehova; ndiya kulindela kuThixo wokusindiswa kwam; úya kundiva uThixo wam. 8Musa ukundivuyelela, lutshaba lwam; kuba, ndíwile nje, ndiya kubuya ndivuke; kuba, ndíhleli emnyameni nje, uYehova uya kuba kukukhanya kum. 9Ukujala kukaYehova ndiya kukuthwala, kuba ndonile kuye, ade andithethelele etyaleni lam, andilungisele; uya kundikhuphela ekukhanyeni; ndiya kububona ubulungisa bakhe. 10Ke utshaba lwam luya kubona, lugutyungelwe kukudana, obe lusithi kum, Uphi na uYehova, uThixo wakho? Amehlo am aya kulubona; kungoku luya kunyathelwa njengodaka lwezitrato.
11 Iyéza imini yokwakhiwa kweendonga zakho; ngaloo mini úya kuba kude ummiselo. 12Ngaloo mini boza kuwe, bevela eAsiriya nasemizini yaseYiputa, bethabathela eYiputa, bade base kuwo uMlambo;• bethabathela elwandle, base elwandle; bethabathela entabeni base entabeni. 13Kuya kuba senkangala elizweni, ngenxa yabemi balo, ngenxa yeziqhamo zeentlondi zabo.
14Yalusa abantu bakho ngentonga yakho, iigusha zelifa lakho, ezihleli zodwa, ehlathini phakathi kweKarmele; mazidle eBhashan nakwelaseGiliyadi, ngokweemini zasephakadeni. 15Ngokweemini zokuphuma kwakho ezweni laseYiputa, ndiya kubabonisa imisebenzi ebalulekileyo. 16Iintlanga ziya kubona, zibudanele ubugorha bazo bonke; ziya kubeka isandla emlonyeni, iindlebe zazo ziya kuba zizithulu. 17Ziya kukhotha uthuli njengenyoka, njengezinambuzane zehlabathi; ziya kuphuma zigungqa ekuvingcelweni kwazo; ziya kuya zinkwantya kuYehova uThixo wethu, zoyike phambi kwakho.
Iinceba zikaThixo ezingenamlinganiselo
18Ngubani na onguThixo onjengawe, oxolela ubugwenxa, adlule esikreqweni samasalela elifa lakhe? Akawugcini unaphakade umsindo wakhe; kuba yena uthanda ukwenza inceba. 19Wóbuya abe nemfesane kuthi, abunyathelele phantsi ubugwenxa bethu; wòziphosa ezinzulwini zolwandle zonke izono zabo. 20Ùya kumnika uYakobi inyaniso, umnike uAbraham inceba, owabafungela yona oobawo kususela kwimihla yamandulo.
