23 Nangabe utawudla nenkhosi,
Kufanele ucabangisise ngekudla lokubekwe embikwakho;
2 Tibambe*
Nakutsi dlani kakhulu.
3 Ungatihawukeli tibiliboco tayo,
Kuze ungakhohliseki ngenca yato.
4 Ungatikhandli kakhulu kuze utfole umcebo.+
Yekela kwenta njalo, futsi ukhombise kutsi unekucondza.*
5 Utawutsi uyawubuka, uwukhandze ungekho,+
Ngobe lomcebo utawumila timphiko njengelusweti futsi undizele esibhakabhakeni.+
6 Ungakudli kudla kwemuntfu lowemanako;*
Ungatihawukeli tibiliboco takhe,
7 Ngobe ufana nemuntfu lobukako kutsi udla kangakanani.
Utsi kuwe: “Dlani futsi unatse,” kodvwa loko lakushoko kube kungasuki enhlitiyweni.
8 Lokudla lokudlile utakuhlanta
Futsi utawube ubonge lite.
10 Ungayisusi imincele leyabekwa kadzeni+
Nobe utsatse insimu yetintsandzane.
12 Timisele kulalela nawuyalwa
Futsi uwalalelisise emavi lahlakaniphile.
13 Ungesabi kumjezisa umntfwana.+
Nangabe umshaya ngeluswati angeke afe.
14 Ubomshaya ngeluswati,
Kuze umvikele angafi.*
18 Nawenta njalo, utawuba nelikusasa lelihle+
Nelitsemba lakho angeke lishabalale.
19 Ndvodzana yami lalela, uhlakaniphe,
Futsi uhambe* ngendlela lelungile.
20 Ungabi ngulomunye walabo labanatsa kakhulu liwayini,+
Futsi ungabi ngulomunye walabo labadla inyama bangayiyekeli ngisho sebesutsi,+
21 Ngobe bantfu labatidzakwa nalabatimiti batawuphuya,+
Futsi butfongo butawenta umuntfu agcoke emanikiniki.
22 Mlalele babe wakho lokutalako,
Futsi ungamedzeleli make wakho ngobe nje sekagugile.+
24 Babe lonemntfwana lolungile utawujabula;
Nangabe indvodzana ihlakaniphile, babe wayo utawujabula ngayo.
25 Babe wakho namake wakho batawujabula,
Futsi make wakho lokutalako utawutfokota.
26 Ndvodzana yami, ngicela ungilalele ngenhlitiyo yakho yonkhe,
Shengatsi kungakujabulisa kuhamba etindleleni tami.+
28 Umelana emakoneni njengesigebengu;+
Futsi wenta kutsi emadvodza lamanyenti angetsembeki.
29 Bobani labanetinkinga? Bobani labakhatsatekile?
Bobani labalwako? Bobani labakhononako?
Bobani labanemanceba labangati kutsi abuyephi? Bobani labanemehlo labovu?
30 Ngulabo labacitsa sikhatsi lesinyenti banatsa liwayini;+
Labo labahamba bafuna* liwayini lelididiyelwe.
31 Ungabuki kuba bovu kweliwayini
Njengobe libonakala licwebetela endzebeni futsi lehla ngesiphundvu,
32 Ngobe ekugcineni liluma njengenyoka,
Futsi linesihlungu njengelibululu.
33 Emehlo akho atawubona tintfo letingekho,
Nenhlitiyo yakho ikwente ucabange tintfo letimbi.+
34 Utawufana nemuntfu lolele ekhatsi nekhatsi kwelwandle,
Ube njengemuntfu lolele etulu ensikeni yemkhumbi.
35 Utawutsi: “Bangishayile, kodvwa angikeva lutfo.*
Bangishayile, kodvwa angisakhumbuli.
