1 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo:

"Londoloza ukulunga

wenze okuqondileyo,

ngoba ukusindisa kwami kuseduze

lokulunga kwami kuzabonakaliswa masinyane.

2 Ubusisiwe umuntu okwenzayo lokhu,

umuntu obambelela kukho,

ogcina iSabatha engalingcolisi,

athibe isandla sakhe ekwenzeni okubi."

3 Akungabi lowezizweni okuThixo othi,

"Ngeqiniso uThixo uzangehlukanisa labantu bakhe."

Njalo lomthenwa kangavunyelwa ukusola athi,

"Mina ngiyisihlahla esomileyo."

4 Ngoba uThixo uthi:

"Abathenwa abagcina amaSabatha ami

bakhethe okungithokozisayo,

babambelele kusivumelwano sami,

5 ngizabanika, phakathi kwethempeli lami lemiduli yalo,

isikhumbuzo lebizo

elingcono kulamadodana lamadodakazi.

Ngizabanika ibizo elingapheliyo.

Elingayikukhohlakala.

6 Labezizwe abazinikela kuThixo

ukuba bamkhonze,

bathande ibizo likaThixo,

njalo bamkhonze,

bonke abagcina iSabatha bengalingcolisi,

babambelele kusivumelwano sami,

7 laba ngizabaletha entabeni yami engcwele,

ngibaphe intokozo endlini yami yokukhulekela.

Iminikelo yabo yokutshiswa, lemihlatshelo,

kuzakwamukelwa e-alithareni lami;

ngoba indlu yami izathiwa

yindlu yokukhuleka yezizwe zonke."

8 UThixo Wobukhosi,

yena oqoqa abaxotshwayo elizweni abako-Israyeli uthi:

"Ngizaqoqela abanye kubo futhi

ngaphandle kwalabo abavele sebeqoqiwe."

9 Wozani lonke lina zilo zeganga;

wozani lidle, lonke lina zilo zamagusu!

10 Abalindi bako-Israyeli bayiziphofu,

bonke kabazi lutho;

bonke bayimigaxa,

izinja ezingakhonkothiyo;

balala nje baphuphe;

bathanda ukulala.

11 Bayizinja ezihlala zilomdlozela wokufuna ukudla,

azisuthi.

Bangabelusi abangaqedisisiyo,

bonke bazazenzela abakufunayo,

lowo lalowo udinga inzuzo yakhe.

12 Lowo lalowo uthi, "Wozani, ngilethe iwayini.

Kasinatheni utshwala sibusuthe.

Kusasa kuzafana lanamuhla,

loba kube ngcono kakhulu."
