26 Njengobe nje lingakhitsiki ehlobo futsi lingani nakusikhatsi sekuvuna,

Kanjalo-ke nesilima+ kufanele singadvunyiswa.

 2 Njengobe inyoni ingabaleki ngaphandle kwesizatfu, nanjengobe inkonjane ingandizi ngaphandle kwesizatfu,

Kanjalo nemuntfu akwenteki acalekiswe ngaphandle kwesizatfu.*

 3 Njengobe siswebhu sisekushaya lihhashi, nematomu entelwe kucondzisa imbongolo,+

Kanjalo nendvuku yentelwe kushaya imihlane yetilima.+

 4 Silima ungasiphendvuli ngendlela levumelana nebulima baso,

Kuze ungatifananisi naso.

 5 Nawuphendvula silima, ubosenta sibone kutsi silibele,

Kuze singacabangi kutsi sihlakaniphile.+

 6 Njengemuntfu lochwalisa tinyawo takhe futsi atilimate yena

Unjalo-ke nemuntfu lotfuma silima kutsi kube ngiso lesimentela imisebenti yakhe.

 7 Njengemilente lecegetelako yemuntfu lokhubatekile,

Sinjalo-ke saga nasishiwo tilima.+

 8 Njengekubophela litje esidubulelweni,

Kunjalo-ke nekudvumisa silima.+

 9 Njengalapho sidzakwa sihlatjwa sihlahla semanyeva esandleni,

Sinjalo-ke saga nasishiwo tilima.

10 Njengemuntfu lodubula nobe ngukuphi* ngebutjoki bakhe,

Unjalo-ke umuntfu locasha silima nobe locasha umuntfu lowengca ngendlela.

11 Njengenja lebuyela iyodla emahlanta ayo,

Sinjalo-ke nesilima, naso siphindzaphindzana nebulima baso.+

13 Livila litsi: “Kunelibhubesi lapha endleleni,

Kunelibhubesi lapha ekhatsi emgwacweni!”+

14 Njengesivalo lesihlale sijikajika sibanjwe ngemahhuka,

Lenta njalo nelivila nalilele embhedzeni walo.+

15 Livila lifaka sandla salo endishini lenekudla,

Kodvwa libese liyavilapha kusimikisa emlonyeni.+

16 Livila licabanga kutsi lihlakaniphe kakhulu

Kunebantfu labangu-7 labaphendvula ngekuhlakanipha.

17 Njengemuntfu lobamba tindlebe tenja

Unjalo-ke umuntfu lotsi engca ngendlela atfukutseliswe* yimphikiswane lengamtsintsi.+

18 Njengeluhlanya loludubula ngetikhali letivutsako nangemicibisholo lebulalako,

19 Unjalo-ke umuntfu lokhohlisa* makhelwane wakhe, bese utsi: “Bengidlala!”+

20 Umlilo uyacima nakute tinkhuni,

Futsi nangabe kute umuntfu lonyundzelako, kuba bete kucabana.+

21 Njengobe emalahle netinkhuni kwenta umlilo uvutse,

Nemuntfu lotsandza kususa lutfutfuva, ubanga kucabana.+

22 Emavi emnyundzeli afana nekudla lokumnandzi;

Umuntfu uyawamita bese ehlela esiswini sakhe.+

23 Njengelucetu lwentfo yelubumba lenindvwe ngelisiliva

Anjalo nemavi lamnandzi lakhulunywa ngumuntfu lonenhlitiyo lembi.+

24 Umuntfu lowenyanya labanye uyakufihla loko ngetintfo latishoko,

Kodvwa ngekhatsi kuye kube kugcwele kukhohlisa.

25 Nanobe akhuluma emavi lamnandzi, ungametsembi,

Ngobe kunetintfo letingu-7 letenyanyekako enhlitiyweni yakhe.*

26 Nanobe kukhohlisa kwakhe kuyifihla inzondo lanayo,

Kodvwa libandla litawubati bubi bakhe.

27 Loyo logubha umgodzi utawungena kuwo,

Futsi nobe ngubani logicita litje, litawubuya etikwakhe.+

28 Umuntfu lonemanga uyabenyanya labo labavise buhlungu ngemanga akhe,

Nemlomo lokhohlisako uyabalimata labanye.+
