2 Kodwa ngubani ongalumela usuku lokuza kwaso, njalo ngubani ongema ekubonakaleni kwaso? Ngoba sinjengomlilo womcwengi wegolide, lanjengesepa yomwatshi.

3 Sizahlala njengomcwengi lomhlambululi wesiliva, sihlambulule amadodana kaLevi, siwacwenge njengegolide lanjengesiliva; ukuze asondeze iminikelo ngokulunga eNkosini.

to say vanity: vain to serve: minister God and what? unjust-gain for to keep: obey charge his and for to go: walk mournfully from face: before LORD Hosts

15 Khathesi-ke sithi abaziqhenyayo babusisiwe; yebo, labo abenza inkohlakalo bayakhiwa; yebo balinga uNkulunkulu, baphephe.

and now we to bless arrogant also to build to make: [do] wickedness also to test God and to escape

16 Khona labo abayesabayo iNkosi bakhulumisana; njalo iNkosi yalalela, yezwa; logwalo lwesikhumbuzo lwalotshwa phambi kwayo ngabo abayesabayo iNkosi, langalabo abazindla ngebizo layo.

then to speak: speak afraid LORD man: anyone with neighbor his and to listen LORD and to hear: hear and to write scroll: book memorial to/for face: before his to/for afraid LORD and to/for to devise: count name his
