29 Umuntfu locinisa inhloko* ngisho sekakhutwe kanyenti+
Utawuphahlateka angakagadzi futsi abe angeke aphindze asindze.+
2 Nangabe labalungile babanyenti, bantfu bayajabula,
Kodvwa nangabe kubusa lomubi, bantfu bayakhala.+
3 Umuntfu lotsandza kuhlakanipha ujabulisa babe wakhe,+
Kodvwa umuntfu lotihlanganisa netingwadla udlabhatisa umcebo wakhe.+
4 Nangabe inkhosi yehlulela kahle,+ umbuso wayo utawucina,
Kodvwa umuntfu lotsandza kudizelwa uletsa inhlekelele eveni.
5 Umuntfu lohhalatisa makhelwane wakhe
Wendlala linethi kuze atsiye tinyawo tamakhelwane wakhe.+
6 Sono lesentiwa ngumuntfu lomubi silugibe kuye,+
Kodvwa umuntfu lolungile umemeta ajabulile futsi uyatfokota.+
8 Bantfu labatigabatisako basusa lutfutfuva edolobheni,+
Kodvwa labahlakaniphile bayayibohlisa intfukutselo.+
9 Nangabe umuntfu lohlakaniphile aphikisana nesilima,
Batawutsetsisana futsi bedzelelane, kodvwa lolohlakaniphile ngeke asitakale ngalutfo.+
11 Silima siyikhiphela ngaphandle yonkhe intfukutselo yaso,*+
Kodvwa umuntfu lohlakaniphile uyatibamba.+
12 Nangabe umbusi alalela emanga,
Tonkhe tinceku takhe titawuba timbi.+
13 Umuntfu lophuyile kanye nalocindzetelanako bafana ngentfo yinye:
NguJehova lobanikete kuphila.
15 Luswati* kanye nekwekhutwa kwenta umuntfu ahlakaniphe,+
Kodvwa umntfwana loyekelelwako uhlaza make wakhe.
16 Nakwandza bantfu lababi, nekona kuyandza,
Kodvwa labalungile batawubona lapho lababi babhujiswa.+
17 Yijezise indvodzana yakho, yona itakunika kuthula;
Futsi itakujabulisa kakhulu.+
18 Lapho kute khona sicondziso lesivela kuNkulunkulu,* bantfu abalawuleki,+
Kodvwa bayajabula labo labalalela umtsetfo.+
19 Sisebenti ngeke usicondzise nawutawulibala kukhuluma ngemlomo,
Ngobe ngisho siva kodvwa asilaleli.+
20 Uke wambona yini umuntfu lojaka kukhuluma?+
Kulula ngesilima kutsi sisitakale kunaye.+
21 Nangabe sisebenti sitototiswa kusukela sisesincane,
Ngeke sibonge nasesikhulile.
22 Umuntfu losheshe atfukutsele ubanga kucabana;+
Futsi nobe ngubani losheshe akwate wenta tono letinyenti.+
24 Umngani wesigebengu utiletsela tinkinga.
Utsi nobe ati kutsi kufanele ayofakaza,* kodvwa angakhulumi lutfo.+
