Yabelana

UKWOYIKA UYEHOVA kusisiqalo sokwazi: ubulumko nemfundiso amahilihili ayazidela. Yiva, nyana wam! imfundiso kayihlo, ungalahli umteto kanyoko.

Ngokuba ukupambuka kwezidenge kuya kuzibulala, nokungakatali kwamageza kuya kuwabubisa. Kodwa ondivayo mna wohlala ngokunqaba; uya kwonwaba, kungeko kwoyika ububi.

Ilumko liya kuva, landise ufundo; noqondayo uya kuzuza amaqinga alumkileyo

Nyana wam! ukuba aboni bayakuhenda, zungavumi ke.

IMIZEKELISO ka‐Solomone, unyana ka‐Davide, ukumkani wo‐Sirayeli; yokuba kwaziwe ubulumko nemfundiso; yokuba kuqondwe iziteto zengqondo; yokuba kwamkelwe imfundiso yobutelekelelo; ubulungisa, nobugwebo, nolungelelwano; yokunika izidenge ubuciko, nomfana ukwazi nentelekeleliso.

Baya kwandul’ ukundibiza, kanti andiyi kusabela; baya kundifuna msinya, kanti abasayi kundifumana: ngenxa yokuba betiyile ukwazi, nokuba bengaqashanga ukwoyika UYEHOVA.
