IZililo 3:1-66
א [Aleph]
3 Ngibone abantu behlupheka ngoba uNkulunkulu usizondele wasijezisa kabuhlungu.
2 Ungixotshile wangenza ngahamba emnyameni, hatshi ekukhanyeni.+
3 Ulokhu engitshaya ngesandla sakhe ilanga lonke.+
ב [Beth]
4 Wenze umzimba wami waphela amandla lejwabu lami latshwabhana,Wephule amathambo ami.
5 Ungivimbezele wangilethela usizi, wangigombolozela ngetshefu ebabayo.+
6 Ungenze ngahlala ezindaweni ezimnyama, njengabantu abafa kudala.
ג [Gimel]
7 Ungivalele ngomduli ukuze ngingabaleki,Wangibopha ngamaketane ekhopha+ asindayo.
8 Nxa ngikhala kuye ngicela usizo, kawulaleli umthandazo wami.+
9 Uvimbe izindlela zami ngamatshe abaziweyo,Wenza izindlela zami zagoba.+
ד [Daleth]
10 Uyangicathamela njengebhere, acatshe+ njengesilwane esizingelayo.
11 Ungidonsele eceleni kwendlela wangidabudabula,Wangitshiya ngingedwa.+
12 Ugobise idandili* lakhe, wakhokha umtshoko ewuqondise kimi.
ה [He]
13 Ungigwaze izinso ngemitshoko ayikhiphe esikhwameni sakhe.
14 Sengibe yinhlekisa ebantwini bonke, bahlabela ngami ilanga lonke.
15 Ungidlise izinto ezibabayo, wanginathisa umhlonyane.*+
ו [Waw]
16 Ungihlafunisa amatshe,* amazinyo ami aqamuke,Angigiqe emlotheni.+
17 Ungincitsha ukuthula, lokuhle angisakwazi.
18 Ngakho ngithi: “Ubuhle bami buphelile, angiselathemba kuJehova.”
ז [Zayin]
19 Khumbula ukuhlupheka kwami lokuthi angilandawo yokuhlala,+ ukhumbule ukuthi ngidla umhlonyane* letshefu ebabayo.+
20 Uzangikhumbula loba sekutheni, ubusukhothama ungincede.+
21 Ngizakukhumbula lokhu, yikho ngizahlala ngilindile.+
ח [Heth]
22 Uthando lukaJehova oluqotho yilo olwenze sangatshabalali,+Ngoba isihawu sakhe asipheli.+
23 Isihawu sakhe sitsha nsuku zonke ekuseni+ njalo uthembekile zikhathi zonke.+
24 Ngithe, “UJehova uyisabelo sami+ yikho ngizahlala ngimlindele.”+
ט [Teth]
25 UJehova umenzela okuhle lowo othembela kuye,+ lowo oqhubeka emdinga.+
26 Kuhle ukuthi umuntu alinde ethule,*+ alindele ukusindiswa nguJehova.+
27 Kuhle ukuthi umuntu athwale ijogwe lakhe esesemutsha.+
י [Yod]
28 Nxa uNkulunkulu elibeka phezu kwakhe,+ kahlale yedwa aqhubeke ethule.
29 Kazehlise athi mbo phansi ngobuso,+ mhlawumbe ithemba lingaba khona.+
30 Kanike lowo omtshayayo isihlathi njalo amukele ukuthethiswa.
כ [Kaph]
31 UJehova kasoze asilahle kokuphela.+
32 Lanxa esijezisile, uzakuba lesihawu ngoba uthando lwakhe oluqotho lukhulu.+
33 Akumthokozisi ukujezisa loba ukwehlisela abantu usizi.+
ל [Lamed]
34 Nxa zonke izibotshwa ezisemhlabeni zicindezelwa,+
35 Nxa abantu besahlulelwa kubi phambi koPhezukonke,+
36 Nxa umuntu eqilwa lapho kuthethwa icala—UJehova kathokozi ngitsho.
מ [Mem]
37 Ngubani ongakhuluma ulutho lwenzakale engatshelwanga nguJehova?
38 Emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,Akuphumi izinto ezinhle lezimbi ngasikhathi sinye.
39 Kungani umuntu esola nxa esehlelwa yibunzima ngenxa yokona kwakhe?+
נ [Nun]
40 Kasihloleni izenzo zethu sizikhangelisise,+ sibuyele kuJehova.+
41 Kasiphakamiseleni izandla zethu kuNkulunkulu osezulwini+ ngezinhliziyo eziqotho, sithandaze sithi:
42 “Sonile sakuhlamukela,+ njalo wena awusithethelelanga.+
ס [Samekh]
43 Awuyilalelanga imithandazo yethu ngenxa yokuthi uzondile;+Usixotshanise wasibulala ungelazwelo.+
44 Uvimbe imithandazo yethu ngeyezi ukuze ingafiki kuwe.+
45 Usenze safanana lemfucuza lezibi phakathi kwezizwe.”
פ [Pe]

47 Sesihlala sisesaba futhi siphakathi kwenhlupho,+ sichotshoziwe satshabalala.+
48 Inyembezi zami zigeleza njengamanzi omfula ngenxa yokutshabalala kwendodakazi yabantu bakithi.+
ע [Ayin]
49 Sengihlala ngikhala, kuyala ukuthi ngithule.+
50 Ngizakhala uJehova aze akhangele angibone esezulwini.+
51 Ngizwa ubuhlungu nxa ngibona okwenzakale emadodakazini edolobho lakithi.+
צ [Tsade]
