1Khumbula umdali wakho emalangeni wobutjha bakho, kungakafiki imihla emimbi nokutjhidela kweminyaka ozakutjho ngayo uthi, “Anginakwenama ngayo.”

2Iye, ngaphambi kobana ilanga nomkhanyo, inyezi neenkwekwezi kube mnyama, namafu asabuthile ngemva kwezulu,

3mhla abaqaphi bekumba bathuthumelako, neendlakela zithoma ukukhokhoba, nabagayikazi bangasagayi ngebanga lokuba mbalwa, nabahlola ngamafesidere sele bafiphele.

4Iye, mhlana iminyango ngaphandle ivaliwe, kunciphe netjhada lokugaya, lokha iphimbo seliphakama njengelenyoni, kodwana ukuzwakala kwalo sekuphasi;

5lokha umuntu angakesabi iindawo eziphakamileko nalokha kunezinto ezethusako endleleni; iye, lokha nakuthuthumba umuthi we-alimondi nentethe sele irhurhuba nomvusakunzi ungasasebenzi. Ngambala, umuntu uya endawenakhe yanini nanini nabalilako behla benyuka endleleni.

6Iye, mkhumbule umdali wakho kungakaqhusuki intambo yesiliva, ithunga legolide lingakaphahlaki, umjeka ungakaphadlheki emthonjeni nevili lingakaphukeli ngepetsini,

7ithuli lingakabuyeli equlwanini njengombana lalinjalo nomphefumulo wokuphila ungakabuyeli kuZimu owawunikelako.

8Kulilize lakolize! Iye, uMtjhumayeli uthi: “Yoke into ililize!”

9Isengezo: UMtjhumayeli gade angakahlakaniphi kwaphela, kodwana gade afundisa nabantu ilwazi. Walinganisa izinto wahlolisisa bewahlela kuhle izaga ezinengi.

10UMtjhumayeli wafunisisa kobana afumane amezwi afaneleko nokutlola amezwi weqiniso ngobuqotho.

11Amezwi wohlakaniphileko anjengesitlhorholojakomo nezinto eziqakathekileko, zinjengeenkhonkhwani ezimanyene nesitlhorholojakomo. Lokho kuvela kumelusi munye.

12Isengezo esinye: Ndodanami, yewuyelele! Ukwenza iincwadi ezinengi akunasiphetho begodu ukufunda khulu kukhathaza umzimba.

13Ekugcineni, koke okuzwakeleko kufanele kunakekelwe: Yesaba uZimu ulonde imiyalwakhe; lokho kungokomuntu woke

14ngombana uZimu uzokugweba yoke imisebenzi, ngitjho nakho koke okufihlakeleko, nanyana kukuhle, nanyana kukumbi.
