nomsebenzi wakho ukuthi: Akanazo izandla, na?

₁₀Wo kuye osho kuyise ukuthi: Uzalani na?

nakowesifazane ukuthi: Unemihelo ngani na?

Ningibuza ngezinto ezizayo, ngabantwana bami,

ningiyaleze ngomsebenzi wezandla zami, na?

bayakukulandela, bafike beboshwé ngamaketanga,

bakhothamele kuwe, bakhuleke kuwe, bathi:

UNkulunkulu ukuwe kuphela, akakho omunye,

akakho ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu.

bayakuhamba benamahloni bonke abenza izithombe.

₁₇Kepha uIsrayeli uyakusindiswa nguJehova

ngokusindiswa okuphakade;

aniyikujabha, aniyikuba-namahloni

kuze kube-phakade.

₁₈Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova,

owalidala izulu, onguNkulunkulu,

owawubumba umhlaba, wawenza,

wawumisa, engawudalelanga ize,

wawubumba ukuba kuhlalwe kuwo, uthi:

NginguJehova, akakho omunye.

₁₉Angikhulumanga ekusithekeni,

endaweni emnyama emhlabeni;

angishongo enzalweni kaJakobe ukuthi:

Ngifuneni ngeze;

mina-Jehova ngikhuluma ukulunga,

ngimemezela okuqotho.

₂₀Buthanani nize, nisondelane ndawonye

nina-bakhululekileyo bezizwe;

abawuthwala umuthi wezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo abanakwazi,

bakhuleka kunkulunkulu ongenakusindisa.

₂₁Kumemezeleni, nikuveze; yebo, balulekane kanyekanye.

Ngubani owakuzwisa lokhu endulo,

wakumemezela kwasesikhathini samandulo na?

Akusimina-Jehova na?

Akakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami,

uNkulunkulu olungileyo noMsindisi,

akakho ngaphandle kwami.

₂₂Phendukelani kimi, nisindiswe,

nonke nina-majukujuku omhlaba,

ngokuba nginguNkulunkulu,

akakho omunye.

₂₃Ngizifungile mina, kuphumile izwi emlonyeni wami ngokulunga,

aliyikubuya,

lokuthi: Kimina ayakuguqa onke amadolo,

nezilimi zonke ziyakufunga.

₂₄Kuyakuthiwa: KuJehova kuphela nginokulunga namandla;

bayakufika kuye, bajabhe bonke abamvuthelayo.

₂₅KuJehova yonke inzalo kaJakobe yakwaIsrayeli
