Kepha wena muntu kaNkulunkulu , balekela lezo zinto ; jonga ukulunga , nokumesaba uNkulunku lu, nokukholwa, nothando, nokubekezela, nobumnene.

UJehova unesihe nobumnene; uyephuza ukuthukuthela, mkhulu ngomusa.

Wena unginikile isihlangu sensindiso yakho , isandla sakho sokunene singisekele, nobumnene bakho bungikhulisile.

ngokuthobeka konke nobumnene, ngokubheka kade nokubekezelelana ngothando,

nobumnene, nokuzithiba. Akukho mthetho omelana nokunjalo.

Ngakho-ke njengabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu , abangcwele nabathandekayo, yembathani ububele benhliziyo , nesisa, nokuzithoba, nobumnene, nokubheka kade,

Bheka usezulwini, ubone usendaweni yobukhosi bakho neyodumo lwakho : kuphi ukushisekela kwakho nemisebenzi yakho yamandla na ? Ukuvutha kwesihe sakho nobumnene bakho kugodliwe kimi.

UNkulunkulu wamnika uDaniyeli ukuba athole umusa nobumnene emehlweni enduna yabathenwa.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ungangeni endlini yesililo , ungayi ukulila, ungabakhaleli, ngokuba ngikususile ukuthula kwami kulaba bantu , usho uJehova, kanye nomusa nobumnene.

Wakhuleka kuJehova , wathi: Ngiyakuncenga, Jehova; lokho kwakungesilo izwi lami ngisekhona ezweni lakithi na ? Ngalokho ngak wandulela ngokubalekela eTharishishi , ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi unguNkulunkulu onomusa nobumnene , wephuza ukuthukuthela , unesihe esikhulu , uzisola ngokubi;

Nokho ngomusa wakho omkhulu awubaqothulanga , awubashiyanga, ngokuba unguNkulunkulu onomusa nobumnene.
