1Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Khawuze khe ndikulinge ngovuyo; Ziyolise ngoko; yabona, kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.

2Ndathi ngokuhleka, Kukuphambana, nolonwabo: Wenza ntoni na?

3Bendisithi, ngentliziyo yam ukuzinikela ewayinini, kodwa ndayinikela intliziyo yam ngobulumko; yaye ndibambelele ngobudenge de ndibone oko baya kukwenza oonyana babantu phantsi kwezulu yonke imihla yobomi babo.

4Ndizenzele imisebenzi emikhulu; ndazakhela izindlu; Mna ndityale izidiliya zam;

5Ndazenzela imiyezo namasimi, ndatyala kuyo imithi eneziqhamo zonke;

6Ndazenzela amaqula okunkcenkceshela imithi evelisa imithi.

7Ndazuza izicaka nezicakakazi, kwaza kwazalelwa endlwini yam; Kananjalo bendineenkomo neenkomo ezininzi ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwam eYerusalem.

8Kwakhona ndaqokelela isilivere negolide nobuncwane obukhethekileyo bookumkani nobamaphondo, yaye ndineemvumi neemvumikazi nezinto ezivuyisayo zoonyana babantu, njengezixhobo zeentlobo ngeentlobo.

9Ndakhula, ndanda, ndanda ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwam eYerusalem; bahlala nam ubulumko bam.

10Andikuthandi konke akunqwenelayo amehlo am; andiyivimbanga intliziyo yam namnye umvuyo; ngokuba intliziyo yam yayivuya emigudwini yam yonke;

11Ndabheka mna ezenzweni zam zonke, ezazenzayo izandla zam, nomsebenzi endawenza;

12Ndajika ke mna, ndakhangela ubulumko, nobugeza, nobuyatha; Angenza ntoni na umntu oza emva kokumkani? kuninzi okwenziweyo.

13Ndabona ukuba ubulumko bukhulu kunobudenge, njengokuba ukukhanya kubungaphezu kobumnyama.

14Amehlo esilumko asentlokweni yaso; ke sona isidenge sihamba ebumnyameni;

15Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Njengoko sihlelwa kuko isinyabi, kuya kuba njalo nakum; kwaye kutheni ndikrelekrele ngakumbi? Ndathi ke entliziyweni yam nalo ngamampunge.

16Ngokuba akukho silumko ngaphezu kwesidenge, ukuze kukhunjulwe ngonaphakade; ngokuba oko kuza kweli phakade kuya kulibaleka. Ke yena umntu osisilumko ufa njani? ngaphezu kwesidenge.

17Ngenxa yoko ndibuthiyile ubomi; ngenxa yokuba unzima kum umsebenzi owenziweyo phantsi kwelanga, ngenxa yokuba yonk’ into ililize yaye umphefumlo uyagula.

18Ndayithiya yonke imisebenzi endayenzayo phantsi kwelanga, ekubeni ndiya kuyishiya nomntu oya kubakho emva kwam.

19Waziwa ngubani na, ukuba woba sisilumko, nokuba woba sisiyatha, kusini na? Noko ke uya kulawula kuzo zonke iinzame endazifundisayo, kwaye ndenze ngobulumko phantsi kwelanga. Oku kukwabubudenge.

20Ngoko ke ndaba buhlungu intliziyo yam ngenxa yemisebenzi yonke endayenzayo phantsi kwelanga.

21Ngokuba kubakho umntu omsebenzi wakhe bubulumko nokwazi nokuqiqa; ke lowo ungenzanga nto, uya kuyishiya ibe sisabelo sakhe. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nobubi obukhulu.

22Kuba uzuza ntoni umntu kuko konke ukusebenza kwakhe nzima nangentlungu yentliziyo yakhe azikhathaze ngayo phantsi kwelanga?

23Ngokuba yonke imihla yakhe inobubi, nomsebenzi wakhe unzima; nasebusuku ayiphumli intliziyo yakhe. Oku kukwabubudenge.

24Akukho nto ilungileyo ebantwini kunokuba badle, basele, ukuze umphefumlo wakhe ube nemihlali ngemisebenzi yakhe. Ndaphinda ndabona ukuba iphuma esandleni sikaThixo.

25Ngokuba ngubani na ongadlayo ngaphezu kwam, ngubani na ongangxamelayo khona?

26Ngokuba umntu olungileyo phambi kwakhe umnika ubulumko nokwazi nolonwabo; ke yena umoni umnika ubutyebi, ukuze amnike okulungileyo phambi koThixo; Kukwalilize nentuthumbo yokomoya.
