1 EkaSolomon. Thixo, mnike ukumkani imigwebo yakho, Mnike unyana wokumkani ubulungisa bakho.
2 Makagwebe ebantwini bakho ngobulungisa, Nakwabaziintsizana zakho ngokwesiko.
3 Iintaba mazibathwalele uxolo abantu, Kwaneenduli zibathwalele ebulungiseni.
4 Makagwebe ityala labaziintsizana ebantwini, Asindise oonyana bamahlwempu, Abatyumze abacudisi.
5 Mabakoyike, ukuhlala elihleliyo ilanga Kwanenyanga, izizukulwana ngezizukulwana.
6 Makehle njengemvula ehla phezu kotyani obusikwayo, Njengeziphango, njengemvula emathontsi makhulu, emhlabeni.
7 Malityatyambe ngemihla yakhe ilungisa, Nobuninzi boxolo, ide ingabi sabakho inyanga.
8 Makaphathe ubukhosi ethabathela elwandle ase elwandle, Ethabathela kuwo uMlambo ase eziphelweni zehlabathi.
9 Baya kuguqa phambi kwakhe abemi bomqwebedu, Zikhothe uthuli iintshaba zakhe.
10 Ookumkani baseTarshishe nabeziqithi baya kunika iminikelo; Ookumkani bakwaShebha nabakwaSebha baya kusondeza isithabathaba;
11 Baqubude kuye bonke ookumkani, Zimkhonze sonke iintlanga.
12 Ngokuba uya kulihlangula ihlwempu elizibikayo, Nabaziintsizana abangenaluncedo;
13 Abenzele inceba abasweleyo nabangamahlwempu; Asindise imiphefumlo yamahlwempu;
14 Akhulule imiphefumlo yawo ekuxinezelweni nasekugonyamelweni; Linqabile emehlweni akhe igazi lawo.
15 Uya kuphila anikwe igolide yakwaShebha, Bahlale bemthandazela, Bamsikelele imini yonke.
16 Makubekho intabalala yengqolowa ezweni, ise encotsheni yeentaba; Ukuqhama kwayo makurhashaze njengeLebhanon; Mabatyatyambe emizini yabo njengemifuno yomhlaba.
17 Malibe ngunaphakade igama lakhe; Malivelise amagatya igama lakhe phambi kwelanga, Bazisikelele ngaye; Mazithi zonke iintlanga ungonoyolo.
18 Makabongwe uYehova uThixo, uThixo kaSirayeli. Ulomenzi wemisebenzi ebalulekileyo yena yedwa.
19 Malisikelelwe igama lakhe elizukileyo ngonaphakade, Lizale lonke ihlabathi luzuko lwakhe. Amen, amen.
