IZaga 2:1-22
2 Ndodana yami, nxa ungamukela amazwi ami,Wenze imithetho yami+ ibe ligugu kuwe,
2 Uthiye indlebe yakho ukuze izwe ukuhlakanipha,+Uvule inhliziyo yakho ukuze ithole ukuqedisisa,+
3 Njalo nxa ungamemeza ukuze uthole ukuzwisisa,+Ukhweze ilizwi lakho ukuze uthole ukuqedisisa,+
4 Nxa ungaqhubeka ukudinga angathi udinga isiliva,+Uqhubeke ukugebha angathi ugebha amagugu afihliweyo,+
5 Lapho-ke uzakuzwisisa ukumesaba uJehova,+Njalo uzaluthola ulwazi olumayelana loNkulunkulu.+
6 Phela uJehova nguye onika ukuhlakanipha;+Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ulwazi lokuqedisisa.
7 Ugcinela abathembekileyo ukuhlakanipha okuncedayo;Ulihawu lalabo abahamba ngobuqotho.+
8 Amehlo akhe akhangele izindlela zabalungileyo,Njalo uzayilinda indlela yabaqotho bakhe.+
9 Lapho-ke uzakuzwisisa ukulunga lokwenza okuqondileyo lokwahlulela kuhle,Layo yonke nje indlela enhle.+
10 Nxa ukuhlakanipha kungangena enhliziyweni yakho,+Lolwazi lube mnandi emphefumulweni* wakho,+
11 Ingqondo ehlakaniphileyo izaqhubeka ikulindile,+Lokuqedisisa kuzakugcina,
12 Ukuze kukuvikele endleleni embi,Lasemuntwini okhuluma amazwi abolileyo,+
13 Lakulabo abatshiya izindlela eziqondileyo,Bahambe ezindleleni zobumnyama,+
14 Lakulabo abakholisa ukwenza okungalunganga,Abathokoziswa yikwenza izinto ezimbi kakhulu,
15 Abalezindlela ezingaqondanga,Abalobuqili kuzo zonke izindlela zabo.
16 Ukuhlakanipha kuzakuvikela kowesifazana oxhwalileyo,*Lasemazwini ahugayo* akhulunywa ngowesifazana ongaziphathanga,*+
17 Otshiya indoda yobutsha* bakhe,+Akhohlwe lesivumelwano asenza loNkulunkulu wakhe;
18 Indlu yakhe ikhokhelela ekufeni,Lezindlela zakhe ziya kwabafileyo.+
19 Bonke abalala laye* abasoze baphenduke,Njalo abasoze baphinde bazithole izindlela eziya ekuphileni.+
20 Wena landela indlela yabantu abenza okuhle,Uhlale ezindleleni zabalungileyo,+
21 Ngoba abathembekileyo yibo kuphela abazahlala emhlabeni,Njalo abamsulwa* yibo abazasala kuwo.+
22 Kodwa abenza okubi bazasuswa emhlabeni,+Abangamaqili bazakhitshwa kuwo.+
