₁Isandla sikaJehova sasiphezu kwami, sangikhipha ngoMoya kaJehova, sangibeka phakathi kwesigodi; sasigcwele amathambo.

₂Wangidlulisa kuwo, ngawazungeza; bheka, ayemaningi kakhulu ebusweni besigodi, futhi bheka, ayomile kakhulu.

₃Wayesethi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, lawamathambo angaphila na? Ngathi: Nkosi Jehova, wena uyazi.

₄Wayesethi kimi: Profetha phezu kwalawamathambo, uthi kuwo: Ninamathambo omileyo, zwanini izwi likaJehova.

₅Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kulawamathambo, ithi: Bhekani, ngiyakungenisa kini umoya, niphile.

₆Ngiyakubeka imisipha phezu kwenu, ngihlumise inyama phezu kwenu, nginimboze ngesikhumba, nginike umoya, niphile, nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

₇Ngaprofetha njengalokho ngiyaliwe, nalapho ngiprofetha kwaba-khona umsindo nokugunquza; amathambo asondelana, ithambo kulo ithambo.

₈Ngase ngibona; bheka, kwakukhona imisipha phezu kwawo, kwahluma nenyama, nesikhumba sawasibekela ngaphezulu, kepha umoya wawungekho kuwo.

₉Wayesethi kimi: Profetha kuwo umoya, profetha, ndodana yomuntu, uthi kuwo umoya: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Woza, moya, uvele emimoyeni yomine, uphefumulele laba ababuleweyo ukuba baphile.

₁₀Ngaprofetha njengalokho ngiyaliwe; umoya wangena kuwo, aphila, ema ngezinyawo zawo, impi enkulu kakhulu impela.

₁₁Wayesethi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, lawamathambo ayindlu yonke yakwaIsrayeli; bathi: Bheka, amathambo ethu omile, ithemba lethu liphelile, sinqunyiwe.

₁₂Ngalokho profetha, uthi kubo: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuvula amathuna enu, nginikhuphule emathuneni enu nina-bantu bami, nginiyise ezweni lakwaIsrayeli.

₁₃Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho sengiwavulile amathuna enu, nganikhuphula emathuneni enu nina-bantu bami.

₁₄Ngiyakuwufaka uMoya wami kini, nize niphile, nginibeke ezweni lakini, nazi ukuthi mina-Jehova ngikhulumile, ngakwenza, usho uJehova.
