1Amazwi oMshumayeli, indodana kaDavide, inkosi yaseJerusalema.

2“Ize leze,” kusho uMshumayeli, “ize leze, konke kuyize!”

3Uzuzani umuntu ngawo wonke umshikashika wakhe awushikashika phansi komthunzi welanga na?

4Isizukulwane siyafika, sedlule, kodwa umhlaba umi ingunaphakade.

5Ilanga liyaphuma, lishone, lisheshe liye endaweni yalo lapho liphuma khona.

6Umoya uvunguza uye eningizimu, uphendukele enyakatho, uphenduphenduke, ubuyele lapho uqale khona.

7Yonke imifula igelezela olwandle, kodwa ulwandle alugcwali; lapho imifula ike yageleza khona, isayophinde futhi igeleze khona.

8Zonke izinto ziyakhandla, umuntu angezichaze. Iso alideli ngokubona, nendlebe ayigcwali ngokuzwa.

9Okwake kwaba khona, kuyobuye kube khona, nokwake kwenziwa kuyobuye kwenziwe. Ayikho into entsha phansi komthunzi welanga.

10Ikhona yini into okuthiwa ngayo: “Bheka, lokhu kusha?” Empeleni seyake yaba khona emandulo, singakabi bikho.

11Akukho ukukhunjulwa kwezinto esezedlule, nokwalezo ezisayokwenziwa yilabo abalandelayo.

12Mina Mshumayeli ngangiyinkosi yakwa-Israyeli, eJerusalema.

13Ngazinikela ngenhliziyo yami yonke ukufuna nokucwaninga ngokuhlakanipha yonke into eyenziwa phansi komthunzi welanga. Kungumsebenzi okhathazayo uNkulunkulu awunikeze abantu ukuba babe matasatasa ngawo.

14Ngiyibone yonke imisebenzi eyenziwa phansi komthunzi welanga; impela konke kufana nokubamba utalagu!

15Okugobile ngeke kuqondiswe, okungekho ngeke kwabalwa.

16Ngase ngithi enhliziyweni yami: “Ngizuze ukuhlakanipha okukhulu ukwedlula bonke abangendulela ekubuseni eJerusalema. Yebo, inhliziyo yami izuze ukuhlakanipha okukhulu nokuqonda.

17Ngizinikele ngenhliziyo yami yonke ukwazi ukuhlakanipha nokwazi ubuwula nobuthutha. Ngithole ukuthi konke lokho kufana nokubamba utalagu.

18Ukwanda kokuhlakanipha kwandisa inkathazo; owandisa ulwazi, wandisa usizi.”
