₂Qiqa phambi kokuba uthethe;

musa ukungxama ukwenza izithembiso kuThixo.

Kaloku yena usezulwini, ube ke wena ulapha emhlabeni;

ngoko ke amazwi akho makabe mbalwa.

₃Ubuninzi bemicimbi bubanga amaphupha;

ubuninzi bamazwi kuhamba nentetho yobutyhakala.

₁₀Umntu oyinyolukeleyo imali soze imanelise;

kanti ke noxhinele ubutyebi akaze aneliswe yingeniso yakhe.

Nale ke into ngamampunge.

₁₁Yakukhula ingeniso bayanda nabaxhomekeke kuyo,

ibe yintoni ke ezuzwa ngumniniyo?

Kuphela uyitya ngamehlo!

₁₂Umntu ophangelayo ulala athi yoyi,

noba utya kancinci, okanye ke uyahlutha.

Ke bona ubunewu-newu besityebi busitsho siphuthelwe.

₁₃Apha phantsi kwelanga ndibone ububi obungcungcuthekisayo:

umntu angaziqwebela ubutyebi, busuke benzakalise kwayena mnikazi wabo!

₁₄Omnye ke ufumba ubutyebi, alahlekelwe bubo ngenxa yentlekele,

ze ke unyana ozelwe nguye angabi nanto ezandleni.

₁₅Mhla wavela umntu uzalwa ngunina ezé;

mhla andulukayo uhamba kwangolo hlobo eze ngalo.

Kuko konke ukubulaleka kwakhe umntu apha emhlabeni

umka engaphathanga nto ngesandla sakhe.

₁₆Ewe ngenene, ibuhlungu le meko!

Umntu umka eyiloo nto ebefike eyiyo.

Kumncede ntoni ke ukusebenzela ilize?

₁₇Kananjalo imihla yobomi bakhe yonke uyidlela ebumnyameni,

egutyungelwa ziinkathazo neenzingo nomsindo.

₇Kuyo yonke imizabalazo yakhe umntu usebenzela emlonyeni,

kodwa akaze anele.

₈Umntu osisilumko usigqitha ngani isityhakala?

Kulinceda ntoni ihlwempu ukuyazi indlela yokuziphatha phakathi kwabantu?

₉Masanele zezo zinto sinazo

endaweni yokuzikhathaza ngokunqwenela le naleya.

Hayi bo, ngamampunge lawo, nqwa nokusukelana nomoya!

₁₀Yonke into ekhoyo sekukudala ithiywe igama layo,

nento ayiyo umntu selisaziwa kakade;

umntu akanako ukumelana nalowo womeleleyo kunaye.

₁₁Okukhona intetho iba nde kokukhona iye ilambatha intsingiselo yayo,

ize ke incede bani loo nto?

₁Igama elihle lilungile

ngaphezu kwamafutha aqholiweyo.

Umhla wokufa ulungile kunomhla wokuzalwa.

₂Kungcono uye emzini onesililo kunokuya emzini onetheko,

kuba kaloku ukufa sisiphelo sabantu bonke.

Ngoko ke abantu ngebeyithathela ingqalelo le nto.

₃Kubhetele kwaiinzingo kunokuhleka,

kuba ubuso obuthe rhubaxa buyayomeleza intliziyo.

₄Intliziyo yesilumko isendlwini yesijwili,

ke intliziyo yesiyatha isendlwini yeziyolo.

₅Kulungile ukuva ukukhalinyelwa sisilumko

kunokuphulaphula ukombelelwa sisityhakala.

₆Ukuhleka kwesityhakala kufana nqwa nokunqanqaza komlilo wameva phantsi kwembiza.

Nale ke into ngamampunge!

₇Isilumko esiphantsi kwezoyikiso silahlekelwa ziingqondo;

umntu onyotywayo wonakala ingqiqo.

₈Isiphelo somcimbi sibhetele kunesiqalo sawo.

Umonde ungcono kunekratshi.

₉Musa ukukhawuleza ucaphuke ngaphakathi kwakho;

kaloku umsindo yinto yezityhakala.

₁₀Musa ukuthi: “Bekungani ukuba imihla yamandulo ibe ngcono kunale yangoku?”

Kaloku ayibubo ubulumko ukubuza umbuzo onjalo.

₁₁Ubulumko nqwa nelifa ngokulunga;

bululutho kubo bonke abaphilayo;

₁₂umntu bumenza akhuseleke njengokuba nemali isenjenjalo.

Ewe, naku ukubalasela kolwazi: ubulumko buyabukhusela ubomi balowo unabo.

Ngubani ongayolulayo into ayenze goso?

₁₄Ngamathuba obumnandi yonwaba;

ngemihla yobubi qonda kakuhle ukuba kwale njengaleya yenziwe nguThixo.

Ngoko ke akukho mntu uyaziyo into eza kwenzeka kamva.

Ndibone umntu olungileyo efela ebulungiseni bakhe,

ngokunjalo ndabona nomntu okhohlakeleyo ephila ubomi obude benkohlakalo.

₁₆Ngani ukuba uzenzakalise ngokusuka uzenze uchwenene welungisa,

okanye ingcaphephe yesilumko?

₁₇Ngani ukuba ufe phambi kwexesha lakho ngokusuka ubalasele ngenkohlakalo,

okanye ugqwese ngobutyhakala?

₁₈Bambelela kwezi zinto zombini, kungabikho oyiyekelelayo.

Umntu omoyikayo uThixo uya kuwaphepha omabini la macala.

₁₉Ubulumko bumenza onabo abe namandla

ngaphezu kwabalawuli besixeko abalishumi.

₂₀Emhlabeni akukho mntu ulilungisa

owenza okuhle kuphela angoni.

₂₁Musa ukuphulaphula yonke into ethethwa ngabantu,

hleze ude uve isicaka sakho sikunyemba.

₂₂Kaloku nawe ngokwakho uyazi

ukuba kukaninzi ubanyelisa abanye abantu.

“Ndizimisele ukuba sisilumko,”

kodwa ke andafikelela kubo.

₂₄Oko kukude kakhulu –

ndithi oko kunzulu gqitha –

ngubani ongaze akubhaqe?

₂₅Ndazinikezela ke ukuba ndiphande ndifune ulwazi,

ukuze ndibuzuze ubulumko bokubhaqa isizekabani sezinto,

ndibuqonde nobutyhakala benkohlakalo nokuphutha kobudenge.

₂₆Ndifumanise ukuba eyona nto ikrakra nangaphezu kokufa ngumfazi oliqili,

ontliziyo inezabatha, ongalo zifana namakhamandela.

Ke yona indoda ekholisa uThixo iyasinda kuye,

kodwa ke yona engumoni uyayibambisa.

₂₇“Khangel' apha,” itsho iNgqondi,

“nantsi into endiyibhaqileyo:

Ndakudibanisa enye nenye ukuze ndicacelwe zizinto –

₂₈lo gama umoya wam wawusaphengulula ndingekafumani nto –

ndibhaqe indoda yanye kwiwaka ethe ngqo,

kodwa yena umfazi onjalo andimfumananga phakathi kwabo bonke.

₂₉Kuphela kwendikufumeneyo kukuba uThixo uluntu waludala luthe ngqo,

kodwa ke abantu basuke bayila ubuqili phezu kobuqili.”

₁Yaz'ba ngubani eso silumko singaziqondayo ezi zinto?

Ngubani ongayichazayo intsingiselo yezi zinto?

Kaloku ubulumko buyabuswabulula ubuso bomntu,

atsho ayeke ukumatsheka.

₅Lowo ugcina umthetho akayi kuhlelwa bububi;

onobulumko uyakwazi amakakwenze ngexesha elifanelekileyo.

₆Kaloku yonke into inexesha layo nendlela emayenziwe ngayo;

kambe buninzi ububi obunokumhlela umntu –

₇akazi ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni.

Kakade ngubani onokuxela okuya kubakho?

₈Umntu akanalo igunya phezu komoya ukuba awuthintele;

akukho bani uyilawulayo imini yokufa kwakhe.

Njengokuba kungekho ukuphuncula emfazweni,

kananjalo inkohlakalo ayibayeki abo bayenzayo.
