2 Nkulunkulu uyadvunyiswa ngobe ugcina tintfo tiyimfihlo,+Futsi emakhosi ayadvunyiswa nawakhona kuhlolisisa indzaba.
3 Njengobe emazulu aphakeme futsi nemhlaba ujulile,Tinjalo-ke netinhlitiyo temakhosi, aticondzakali.
4 Nangabe umuntfu acwenga lisiliva,Lelisiliva litawuphuma selihlobe kakhulu.+
5 Susa umuntfu lomubi embikwenkhosi,Futsi kulunga kutawusenta sime sicine sihlalo sayo sebukhosi.+
6 Ungatenti umuntfu lobalulekile embikwenkhosi,+Futsi ungahlali nebantfu labamcoka,+
7 Ngobe kuncono kutsi kube ngiyo letsi kuwe: “Wota utohlala lana,”Kunekutsi ikuhlaze embikwesikhulu.+
8 Ungagijimeli kuyisa indzaba enkantolo,Ngobe utawenta njani nangabe makhelwane wakho sekafika atsi unemanga?+
9 Yilungise naye lendzaba,+Kodvwa ungacali usakate tindzaba takhe letiyimfihlo,+
10 Ngobe loyo lolalele lendzaba utakutsela ngelihlazoFutsi letintfo letimbi* lotikhulumile ngeke usatishintja.
11 Njengemahhabhula eligolide labekwe etindishini telisilivaAnjalo-ke nemavi lakhulunywe ngesikhatsi lesikahle.+
12 Njengelicici leligolide nanjengemhlobiso weligolide lelicwengisisiweUnjalo-ke umuntfu lohlakaniphile lowekhuta umuntfu lonendlebe lelalelako.+
13 Njengesinatfo lesibandzako* ngelilanga lekuvunaSinjalo-ke sitfunywa lesetsembekile kulabo labasitfumile,Ngobe senta umphatsi waso ative anemandla.+
14 Njengemafu kanye nemoya lokugcine kungakayiletsi imvulaUnjalo-ke nemuntfu lotishaya sifuba atsi utawupha lomunye sipho kodvwa angamuphi.*+
15 Nangabe ubeketela, umuntfu losesikhundleni ungakhona kumncenga aze avume,Futsi emavi lanemusa* angalephula litsambo.+
16 Nangabe utfola luju, dlani kuphela lolo loludzingako,Ngobe nawuludla kakhulu utaluhlanta.+
17 Ungayi kakhulu kamakhelwane wakho,Kuze angadzinwa nguwe bese uyakwenyanya.
18 Njengesicwayi nenkemba kanye nemcibisholo locijileUnjalo-ke umuntfu lofakaza emanga ngamakhelwane wakhe.+
19 Njengekwetsemba litinyo lelephukile nobe lunyawo loluchutakoKunjalo-ke kubeka litsemba lakho kumuntfu lotakujikela* ngetikhatsi letimatima.
20 Njengalapho umuntfu akhumula imphahla yakhe nakubandzaNanjengalapho luswayi* lutselwa vinigaUnjalo-ke loyo lohlabelela umuntfu lowephuke inhlitiyo.+
21 Nangabe sitsa* sakho silambile, siphe kudla;Nangabe somile, sinikete emanti ekunatsa,+
22 Ngobe nawenta njalo, kutawufana nekutsi ubutsisa emalahle lavutsako enhloko yaso,*+Futsi Jehova utakubusisa.
23 Umoya wasenyakatfo uletsa imvula lenkhulu,Kanjalo nemuntfu lohlebako utawutfukutselelwa ngulabanye.+
24 Kuncono kuhlala ekoneni lweluphahlaKunekuhlala endlini yinye nemfati lotsandza kususa lutfutfuva.*+
25 Njengalapho umuntfu* lowomile anatsa emanti labandzakoUnjalo-ke nembiko lomuhle lobuya khashane.+
26 Njengemtfombo logcwele ludzaka, nanjengesiyalu lesinemanti langcolileUnjalo-ke umuntfu lolungile lotihlanganisa* nemuntfu lomubi.
27 Kuyingoti kudla kakhulu luju,+Nekutifunela ludvumo akusikahle.+
28 Njengelidolobha lelibhidlitiwe, lasala lite lubondza,Unjalo-ke nemuntfu longakhoni kubamba intfukutselo yakhe.+
