iMizekeliso 4:1-19

Nina bantwana, yivani imfundiso kayihlo, niyilumkele, ukuze nikwazi ukuqonda. Ngenxa yokuba ndininika imfundiso elungileyo, musani ukuwutyeshela umthetho wam. Kuba bendingunyana kabawo, Ndithambile, ndiyintanda emehlweni kama. Wandiyala ke, wathi kum, Intliziyo yakho mayiwabambe amazwi am; Gcina imithetho yam, nobomi bam. Rhweba ubulumko, rhweba ingqiqo; musa ukuyilibala; kwaye ungaphambuki emazwini omlomo wam. Musa ukumshiya, wokugcina; mthande, wokugcina. Ubulumko yeyona nto ibalulekileyo; Rhweba ke ubulumko, urhwebe ingqondo nako konke ukuqonda. Mphakamise, wokuphakamisa; uya kukuhlonipha xa umbuza. Buya kukunika isihombo sokuhomba entlokweni yakho; wokunika isithsaba sokuhomba. Phulaphula, ungunyana wam, uze uwamkele amazwi am; woba mininzi iminyaka yobomi. Ndikuyalele indlela yobulumko; Ndikukhaphele ngeendlela ezithe tye. Ekuhambeni kwakho akayi kuphazamiseka ukunyathela kwakho; nokuba uyabaleka, akuyi kukhubeka. Bamba ingqeqesho; musa ukumshiya; mgcine; ngokuba ububomi bakho. Musa ukungena emendweni wabangendawo, Ungahambi emendweni wabangendawo. Yicezele, ungadluli kuyo; yijike, udlule. Kuba abalali, ababi benza ububi; Bomkelwa bubuthongo, ukuba abakhanga; Ngokuba badla isonka sokungendawo, Basele newayini yobutshijolo. Kodwa umendo wamalungisa unjengokukhanya okuqaqambileyo okuqhubeka kukhanya de kube semini enkulu. Indlela yabangendawo injengesithokothoko; abayazi into abakhubeka ngayo.
