1Mkhumbule uMdali wakho ngemihla yobutsha bakho, xa ingekafiki imihla yobubi, ingekafiki iminyaka, ukuba uthe: “Andiyoliswa yiyo;

2Xa ilanga, nokukhanya, nenyanga, neenkwenkwezi, azibi mnyama, namafu akabuyi emva kwemvula.

3Ngaloo mini baye begubha ababoniseli bendlu, bayaguqa abomeleleyo, bayeke abasila ngenxa yokuba betyhafile, nabavelela ngeefestile benza mnyama;

4ziya kuvalwa iingcango ezitratweni, sakudamba isandi sengxokozelo;

5Xa bezoyika iziganga, endleleni kunkwantya, umile um-amangile, usuke ube ngumthwalo umqiwu, uphele umnqweno; Ngokuba umntu uya endlwini yakhe ende, bathi abamatsheke basasaze izitalato.

6Kunjengoko kwaphulwa intambo yesilivere, nokuba kukwaphulwa kwesitya segolide, nokuba sisitya sequla, nokuba kukwaphuke ivili.

7Luya kubuyela emhlabeni uthuli, njengoko belunjalo, umoya ubuyele kuThixo owawunikayo.

8Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli; yonke into ingamampunge.

9Ngaphezu koko, ekubeni umshumayeli wayesisilumko, wayesafundisa abantu ukwazi; ewe, wacingisisa kakuhle waphengulula walungisa izivakalisi ezininzi.

10Umshumayeli wayefuna ukufumana amazwi amkelekileyo, yaye oko kubhaliweyo kwakuchanekile, amazwi enyaniso.

11Amazwi ezilumko anjengentonga nanjengezikhonkwane ezibethelelwe ziinkokeli zamabandla, ezinikwe ngumalusi omnye.

12Kwaye kwakhona, ngoku, nyana wam, lumka: akukho siphelo ekudalweni kweencwadi ezininzi; Ukufunda okuninzi kudinisa inyama.

13Ukuhlanganiswa kwentetho, yakuba ivakele into yonke, nanku: Yoyika uThixo, ugcine imithetho yakhe, ngokuba indawo leyo yimfanelo yoluntu lonke.

14Kuba wonke umsebenzi uThixo uya kuwuzisa ekugwetyweni kwayo yonke into efihliweyo, enoba ilungile okanye imbi.
