Ukunyaniseka elunqulweni
1Gcina unyawo lwakho xeshikweni uya endlwini kaThixo; ukusondela ukuba uve, kungaphezu kokunikela kwezidenge imibingelelo; ngokuba ukungazi kwazo kwenza izinto ezimbi. 2Musa ukungxama ngomlomo wakho, intliziyo yakho ingaphangi ikhuphe ilizwi phambi koThixo; ngokuba uThixo usemazulwini, ke wena usehlabathini; ngenxa yoko amazwi akho makabe mancinane. 3Ngokuba ukuphupha kuza ngobuninzi bemicimbi, nezwi lesidenge liza ngobuninzi bentetho.
4Xeshikweni uthe wabhambathisa isibhambathiso kuThixo, musa ukuzekelela ukusizalisa; ngokuba azinanzwa izidenge; loo nto uyibhambathisileyo yizalise. 5Kulungile ukuba ungabhambathisi, kunokuba ubhambathise ungazalisi. 6Musa ukuwuvumela umlommo wakho, ukuba uyonise inyama yakho; ungàtsho phambi komthunywa kaThixo ukuthi ibikukulahleka. Yini na ukuba uThixo abe noburhalarhume ngezwi lakho asonakalise isenzo sezandla zakho? 7Ngokuba ebuninzini bamaphupha namazwi, maninzi amampunge; ke yoyika uThixo.
Ugonyamelo nobutyebi
8Ukuba uthe wakubona ukucudiswa kwehlwempu, nokuhluthwa kokusesikweni nobulungisa elizweni, musa ukumangaliswa yiloo nto; ngokuba oyena uphakamileyo ukhangele phezu kophakamileyo; kukho abaphakamileyo naphezu kwabo. 9Ilungelo lelizwe entweni yonke ngukumkani onyamekela umhlaba.
10Othanda isilivere akaneliswa yisilivere; nalowo uthanda intabalala, akangenelwa nto. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge. 11Ekwandeni kwezinto ezilungileyo bayanda abazidlayo zona, abe umninizo enempumelelo eyini na, ingekuko ukwanela ukuzibona ngamehlo? 12Bumnandi ubuthongo bosebenzayo, nokuba incinane, nokuba ininzi into ayidlayo; ke intabalala yesityebi ayisivumeli ukuba silale buthongo.
13Kukho ububi obusisifo, endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga; ukuthi ubutyebi obugcinelwe umninibo, bube nobubi kuye; 14obo butyebi butshabalala ngento embi; uzala unyana, engenayo nento esandleni sakhe. 15Njengokuba waphuma esizalweni sonina ezé, uya kubuya emke njengoko weza enjalo, angàthabathi nento ngemigudu yakhe, angáyiphathayo ngesandla sakhe. 16Kwanale nto bububi obusisifo, ukuba eya kumka kanye kwanjengoko weza ngako: unalungelo lini na ke owaphukela umoya? 17Kananjalo iimini zakhe zonke uzidlela emnyameni, enengqumbo enkulu, nesifo, noburhalarhume.
18Nantsi into endiyibonileyo mna, ilungile, intle: into yokuthi umntu adle, asele, abone okulungileyo ngemigudu yakhe yonke aphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga, ngokwenani lemihla yobomi bakhe amnikileyo uThixo, ngokuba kusisabelo sakhe oko. 19Kananjalo wonke umntu, athe uThixo wamnika ubutyebi nokuqweba, wamnika negunya lokudla kubo, athabathe isabelo sakhe, avuye emigudwini yakhe: sisipho sikaThixo eso. 20Ngokuba akayikhumbuli kakhulu imihla yobomi bakhe; ngokuba uThixo eluphendula uvuyo lwentliziyo yakhe.
