iMizekeliso 3:1-12

Nyana wam, musa ukuwulibala umyalelo wam; Intliziyo yakho mayiyibambe imithetho yam; ngokuba iya kubandisa ubude bemihla yakho, neminyaka yobomi, noxolo. Musa ukuswela inceba nenyaniso; Zinxibe kuwe emqaleni; yibhale elucwecweni lwentliziyo yakho. Wofumana ke ukwamkeleka, nokwamkeleka kakuhle emehlweni kaThixo nakubantu. Kholosa ngoYehova ngentliziyo yakho yonke; kwaye ungayami ngokwakho ukuqonda. Umazi kuzo zonke iindlela zakho, kwaye uya kuwenza uthi tye umendo wakho. Musa ukuba sisilumko; yoyika uYehova, usuke ebubini. Kuya kuba sempilweni entle enkabeni yakho nomongo emathanjeni akho. Mzukise uYehova ngempahla yakho, nangongeniselo lwakho lonke. Ozala amaqonga akho yintabalala, ozalatha isixovulelo sakho ngewayini; Nyana wam, musa ukuwucekisa uqeqesho lukaYehova; ungadinwa kukukhalima kwakhe. Ngokuba uYehova uyamohlwaya amthandayo; njengoyise wonyana akholiswayo nguye.
