2 Ndvodzana yami, nangabe wemukela emavi ami,
Nemitsetfo yami uyente ibe ligugu kuwe,+
2 Futsi wente indlebe yakho ilalelisise tintfo letihlakaniphile+
Wente nenhlitiyo yakho ibe nekucondza;+
3 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe utawumemeta ucele
lwati,+
Umemete kuze utfole kucondza;+
4 Futsi nangabe uchubeka ukufuna kube shengatsi ufuna lisiliva,+
Uchubeke ukumba kube shengatsi umba emagugu lafihliwe;+
5 Utawubese uyacondza kutsi kusho kutsini kwesaba Jehova,+
Futsi utawuba nelwati ngaNkulunkulu.+
6 Ngobe nguJehova lophana kuhlakanipha;+
Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma emavi lenta bantfu kutsi babe nelwati nekucondza.
7 Bantfu labalungile ubabekela kuhlakanipha;
Futsi usihlangu salabo labacotfo.+
8 Ugadza tindlela talabalungile,
Futsi utawugadza indlela yebantfu bakhe labetsembekile.+
9 Ngako wena utawubese uyacondza kutsi yini lelungile, lekahle nalemsulwa,
Utawati nekutsi nguyiphi indlela lekahle lokufanele uhambe ngayo.+
10 Kutawutsi lapho kuhlakanipha kungena enhlitiyweni yakho+
Nelwati lujabulisa umphefumulo* wakho,+
11 Kusebentisa kahle ingcondvo kutakulondza,+
Kucondza kutakugadza,
12 Kuze kukusite ungahambi endleleni lembi,
Ungahambi nebantfu labakhuluma tintfo letingakalungi,+
13 Kukuvikele kulabo labashiya tindlela letilungile
Futsi bahambe ngetindlela tebumnyama,+
14 Kukuvikele kulabo labajabulela kwenta lokubi,
Labo labajatjuliswa kwenta tintfo letimbi naletingcolile,
15 Kukuvikele kulabo labahamba ngetindlela letingakacondzi
Nakulabo labaphila imphilo yebucili.
16 Kutakuvikela kumfati lokhohlakele,*
Kukuvikele emavini lashelelako emfati lotiphatsa kabi,*+
17 Lokungumfati loshiye indvodza* yakhe lashada nayo asemusha+
Futsi wakhohlwa nesivumelwane lasenta naNkulunkulu wakhe;
18 Ngobe kuya endlini yakhe kufana nekutimikisa ekufeni,
Nemgwaco loya endlini yakhe uholela ethuneni.+
19 Bonkhe labatiphatsa kabi naye bahamba bangabuyi,
Futsi ngeke baphindze bayitfole indlela leya ekuphileni.+
