1Lawa mamezwi woMtjhumayeli, indodana kaDavida, ikosi yeJerusalema:

2“Kulilize lakolize!” Iye, uMtjhumayeli uthi: “Kulilize lakolize! Yoke into ililize!”

3Kumbhadekela ngani umuntu ukutjhabatjheka kwakhe; akujulukela ngaphasi komthunzi welanga na?

4Iinzukulwana ziyafika zibuye zidlule, kodwana iphasi linzinzile nini nanini.

5Ilanga liyaphuma libuye litjhinge; lirhabe libuyele lapha liphume khona.

6Ummoya uphembethela ngesewula, ubuye ujikele ngetlhagwini; ujikeleze njalo njalo, godu ubuyele emzombenawo.

7Yoke imilambo igelezela ngelwandle, nanyana kunjalo alizali. Lapho imilambo igelezela khona ibuya igelezele lapho.

8Zoke izinto ziyakhathaza, azihlathululeki emuntwini. Amehlo akadeli ukubona neendlebe azidinwa kulalela.

9Okwakhe kwaba khona, kusazakuba khona godu; nokwakhe kwenziwa kusazakwenziwa godu, akunalitho elitjha ngaphasi komthunzi welanga.

10Ingabe ikhona into ekungathiwa ngayo, “Qalani lapha, lokhu kutjha!” Kwabe kukhona kwekadeni, iye, ekadeni ngaphambi kwethu.

11Kwekadeni akusakhunjulwa, ngitjho nokusezako asoze kusakhunjulwa ngilabo abalandelako.

12Mina Mtjhumayeli nangisese yikosi phezu kwaka-Israyeli eJerusalema,

13ngazinikela ekurhubhululeni nekuhlolisiseni ngokuhlakanipha koke okwenziwa ngaphasi komthunzi welanga. Maye, ubudisi kangangani umthwalo uZimu awethwese abantu kobana abatshwenye ngawo!

14Ngibone koke okwenziwa ngaphasi komthunzi welanga: Yoke into ililize! Kukugijimisa ummoya!

15Okusonganisiweko angeze kwathatjululwa, okutlhayelako angeze kwabalwa.

16Ngadlumbana ngathi, “Qala, mina ngikhule benganda nokuhlakanipha ngaphezu kwabo boke abakhe babusa eJerusalema ngaphambi kwami. Nginelemuko elinengi ngokuhlakanipha nangelwazi.”

17Nje-ke ngazinikela kobana ngazi ukuhlakanipha nokwazi kanye nokutlhoga ingqondo nobudlhadlha. Ngalemuka bonyana nakho lokho kukugijimisa ummoya:

18Ekuhlakanipheni okunengi kunesizi elinengi, nokwanda kwelwazi kukwanda kokuhlupheka.
