1 Khangela, inkosi izabusa ngokulunga, leziphathamandla zibuse ngesahlulelo.
Khangelani, inkosi izabusa ngokulunga lababusi bazabusa ngemfanelo.
2 Lomuntu uzakuba njengendawo yokucatshela umoya lesivikelo kuzulu lesiphepho; njengemifula yamanzi endaweni eyomileyo, njengomthunzi wedwala elikhulu elizweni elomileyo.
Umuntu ngamunye uzakuba njengesihonqo sokuvikela umoya, lesiphephelo sokucatshela isiphepho, njengezihotsha zamanzi enkangala njengomthunzi wedwala elikhulu elizweni elomileyo.
3 Lamehlo alabo ababonayo kawayikufiphala, lezindlebe zalabo abezwayo zizalalela.
Lapho-ke amehlo alabo ababonayo kawasayikuvaleka, lezindlebe zalabo abezwayo zizalalela.
4 Lenhliziyo yabalamawala izaqedisisa ulwazi, lolimi lwabagagasayo luzaphangisa ukukhuluma ngokucaca.
Ingqondo yowalazelayo izakwazi, iqedisise, ogagasayo ulimi lwakhe luzatshwaphuluka luzwakale kuhle.
5 Isithutha kasisayikubizwa ngokuthi sihloniphekile, loncitshanayo angathiwa uyaphana.
Isithutha kasisayikuthiwa ngumhlonitshwa, lesigangi kasiyikuhlonitshwa.
6 Ngoba isithutha sikhuluma ubuthutha, lenhliziyo yaso isebenze okubi, ukwenza ubuzenzisi, lokukhuluma okuphambeneyo ngeNkosi, ukwenza umphefumulo wolambileyo ube ze, senze kusweleke okunathwayo kowomileyo.
Ngoba isithutha sikhuluma ubuwula, ingqondo yaso isebenza ububi: Senza imisebenzi yenkohlakalo, siqambe amanga ngoThixo; abalambayo kasibaniki lutho, abomileyo sibancitsha amanzi okunatha.
7 Izikhali zoncitshanayo lazo zimbi; yena uceba amacebo akhohlakeleyo ukuze achithe abayanga ngamazwi amanga, lanxa oswelayo ekhuluma okulungileyo.
Izindlela zesigangi zimbi, senza amacebo amabi ukuba sichithe abayanga ngamanga, lanxa isikhalazo sabaswelayo siqotho.
8 Kodwa ohloniphekayo uceba izinto ezihloniphekayo; langezinto ezihloniphekayo yena uzakuma.
Kodwa umuntu ohloniphekayo wenza amacebo ahloniphekayo, njalo uma ngezenzo ezihloniphekayo.
9 Vukani, besifazana abonwabileyo, lizwe ilizwi lami; madodakazi avikelekileyo, bekani indlebe ekukhulumeni kwami.
Lina besifazane elingakhathazeki ngalutho, vukani lilalele kimi; lina madodakazi elizizwa livikelekile, lalelani engikutshoyo!
10 Izinsuku ezedlula umnyaka lizathuthumela, besifazana abavikelekileyo, ngoba ukuvunwa kwevini kuzaphela, ukubutha kakuyikufika.
Ngesikhatshana nje esedlula umnyaka lina elizizwa livikelekile lizathuthumela; ukuvunwa kwevini akuyikuphumelela, lokuvunwa kwezithelo akuyikuba khona.
11 Thuthumelani, besifazana abonwabileyo, liqhuqhe, bavikelekileyo; khululani, lizinqunule, libhince amasaka enkalweni.
Thuthumelani lina madodakazi azizwa evikelekile; qhaqhazelani lina madodakazi azizwa evikelekile! Khululani izigqoko zenu, lithandele inkalo zenu ngamasaka.
12 Bazakhalela amabele okumunya, amasimu amahle, ivini elithelayo.
Zitshayeni izifuba zenu ngenxa yamasimu amahle, langenxa yezivini ezithela izithelo,
13 Phezu komhlabathi wabantu bami kuzakhula ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; yebo, phezu kwezindlu zonke zenjabulo, emzini wentokozo.
langenxa yelizwe labantu bami, ilizwe eligcwele ukhula lameva, yebo, lilelani zonke izindlu zenjabulo ledolobho lokuzitika lentokozo.
14 Ngoba isigodlo sizadelwa, inengi lomuzi lizatshiywa; inqaba lemiphotshongo kuzakuba yimihome kuze kube phakade, intokozo yabobabhemi beganga, lamadlelo emihlambi;
Inqaba enkulu izatshiswa, idolobho elilomsindo lizatshiywa; inqaba lomphotshongo wokulinda kuzakuba ngumhlabathi ongatheli lutho kokuphela, kube yintokozo yabobabhemi lamadlelo emihlambi,
15 aze athululelwe phezu kwethu uMoya evela phezulu, lenkangala ibe yinsimu ethelayo, lensimu ethelayo ithiwe lihlathi.
umoya uze uthelwe phezu kwethu uvela phezulu, inkangala ibe ngumhlaba ovundileyo, umhlaba ovundileyo ube njengenhlabathi.
16 Khona isahlulelo sizahlala enkangala, lokulunga kuhlale ensimini ethelayo.
Ukwahlulela kuhle kukaThixo kuzakuba khona enkangala, ukulunga kube khona emhlabeni ovundileyo.
17 Lomsebenzi wokulunga uzakuba yikuthula, lokwenza kokulunga kube yikuthula lokuqinisekiswa kuze kube nininini.
Izithelo zokulunga zizakuba yikuthula; okufaneleyo kuzaletha ukuthula zwi lethemba kuze kube nininini.
18 Labantu bami bazahlala endaweni yokuhlala elokuthula, lezindaweni zokuhlala ezivikelekileyo, lezindaweni zokuphumula ezonwabileyo.
Abantu bami bazahlala ezindaweni ezilokuthula, emakhaya avikelekileyo, ezindaweni zokuphumula ezingelahlupho.
19 Kodwa lizakuna ngesiqhotho ekwehleni kwehlathi, lomuzi uzathotshiswa endaweni ephansi.
Lanxa isiqhotho sitshabalalisa ihlathi ledolobho lidilizwe laphela nya,
20 Libusisiwe lina elihlanyela ngasemanzini wonke, lithumezela lapho inyawo zezinkabi labobabhemi.
yeka ukubusiswa elizakuba yikho, lihlanyela inhlanyelo yenu emaceleni ezifula zonke, njalo liyekela inkomo zenu labobabhemi benu ukuba kusabalale.
