1Ilizwi likaYehova elafika kuYoweli, unyana kaPetuweli.

2Yivani oku, nina madoda makhulu, nive, nonke bemi belizwe; Ngaba kwakunjalo ngemihla yenu, nangemihla yooyihlo?

3Kuxeleni koonyana benu, oonyana benu bakuxele koonyana babo, oonyana babo bakuxele kwisizukulwana esisemva kwabo.

4Okuseleyo kumpethu kudliwa ziinkumbi; okuseleyo kwadliwa ziinkumbi; okuseleyo eenkumbini, kwadliwa ngumqikela.

5Vukani, manxila, nikhale; lilani, nonke baseli bewayini, ngenxa yewayini entsha; ngenxa yokuba isusiwe emlonyeni wakho.

6Ngenxa enokuba lungene ezweni lam uhlanga olunamandla, olungenakubalwa, olumazinyo amazinyo engonyama, nezidlele zengonyama enkulu.

7Uwutshabalalisile umdiliya wam, lwawunyothula umkhiwane wam; Wayikhulula wayilahla; amasebe awo amhlophe.

8Lilile njengentombi eyambethe ukuzila ngenxa yendoda yobutsha bayo.

9Umnikelo otshiswayo nomnikelo othululwayo ugqityiwe endlwini kaYehova; balila ababingeleli, abakhonzi bakaYehova.

10Ilizwe libhuqiwe, ilizwe liyakhala; kuba ingqolowa ibhuqiwe, umququ itshile, ioli iyachithwa.

11Nidanile, balimi; lilani, balimi bewayini, ngenxa yengqolowa nerhasi; ngokuba uvuyo lwehlabathi luphelile.

12Umdiliya ubunile, umkhiwane womile; umrharnate, nesundu, nom-apile, yonke imithi yelizwe yomile; ngokuba bumile uvuyo loonyana babantu.

13Zibopheni nina babingeleli; Dumani, bakhonzi besibingelelo; yizani, nilale ebumnyameni bonke ubusuku, bakhonzi boThixo wam;

14Ngcwalisani umhla wokuzila ukudla, nibize ingqungquthela, niwahlanganise amadoda amakhulu, nabemi bonke belizwe, endlwini kaYehova uThixo wenu, nikhale kuYehova.

15Yeha loo mini! kuba ikufuphi imini kaYehova, yaye iya kuza njengentshabalalo evela kuSomandla.

16Ayinqunyulwanga na inyama phambi kwamehlo ethu, nemivuyo nemivuyo endlwini yoThixo wethu?

17Zibolile iimbewu phantsi kwemidumba, ziqhawukile iingxam, ziqhawukile iingxam; kuba ingqolowa yomile.

18Hayi indlela izilwanyana ezikhala ngayo! Ikhohliwe imihlambi yeenkomo, kuba ingenatyani; ewe, imihlambi yempahla emfutshane ithe shwaka.

19Ndikhala kuwe, Yehova, kuba umlilo uwatshisile amakriwa asentlango, nelangatye layirhawula yonke imithi yelizwe.

20Kwanezilwanyana zelizwe zikhala kuwe, kuba itshile imijelo yamanzi, nomlilo uwatshisile amakriwa asentlango.
