2 Silima asitsandzi kufundza kulabanye;
Sitsandza nje kuveta imibono yaso.+
3 Nangabe umuntfu enta lokubi, labanye bantfu batawumedzelela,
Nangabe umuntfu enta tintfo letilihlazo, utawuhlazeka.+
4 Emavi lakhulunywa ngumuntfu afana nemanti lashonako.+
Kuhlakanipha lokuphuma kuye kutawugeleta njengemfula.
5 Kukabi kutsi utawutsi lomubi akanacala abe analo,*+
Futsi kukabi kungamehluleli ngekulunga umuntfu lolungile.+
7 Umlomo wesilima usibangela inhlekelele,+
Netindzebe taso temlomo tilugibe kuso.
10 Libito laJehova lingumbhoshongo locinile.+
Umuntfu lolungile ubalekela kulo futsi avikeleke.*+
11 Injinga icabanga kutsi umcebo wayo unjengelidolobha lelivikelekile;
Futsi icabanga kutsi lomcebo ufana nelubondza loluyivikele.+
12 Umuntfu lotigcabhako enhlitiyweni yakhe ugcine awile,+
Futsi kutfobeka kwenta umuntfu advunyiswe.+
14 Umuntfu lohlala ajabulile uyakhona kubeketelela kugula,+
Kodvwa ngubani nje longabeketelela kuba nemoya lowephukile?*+
15 Inhlitiyo yemuntfu lonekucondza itfola lwati,+
Nendlebe yemuntfu lohlakaniphile ifuna kutfola lwati.
16 Sipho simvulela ematfuba loyo lophana ngaso;+
Simenta akhone kubonana nebantfu labahlonishwako.
17 Umuntfu lokhuluma kucala ecaleni ubonakala acinisile,+
Kuze kube ngulapho lona lommangalele efika amphenyisise ngemibuto.+
18 Kwenta inkatho kucedza imibango+
Futsi ilamula bantfu labanemandla lebebacabene.
19 Kubohlisa intfukutselo yemngani lowoniwe kumatima kakhulu kunekuncoba lidolobha lelivikelekile,+
Futsi imibango ingehlukanisa bantfu njengemagede lanemishudo yensimbi.+
20 Loko umuntfu lakusho ngemlomo wakhe kunjengekudla lokugcwalisa sisu sakhe;+
Futsi utawutfola imiphumela yemavi akhe.
21 Kuphila nekufa kusemandleni elulwimi;+
Futsi labo labatsandza kulusebentisa batawubhekana nemiphumela yaloko labakushoko.+
23 Umuntfu lophuyile uncenga lonjingile kutsi amsite,
Kodvwa lolonjingile uvele amphendvule kabi.
