2. AmaYiputa ndiya kuwaxhokonxela kwa-amaYiputa, alwe elowo nomzalwana wakhe, elowo nommelwane wakhe, umzi nomzi, ubukumkani nobukumkani.

3. Wothiwa qongqololo umoya wamaYiputa phakathi kwawo; ndiliginye icebo lawo, aquqele kwizithixo ezingento, nakwabadumze layo, nakwabaneshologu, nakoosiyazi;

4. ndiwavingcele amaYiputa ngesandla senkosi esilukhuni, alawulwe ngukumkani onengcwangu; itsho iNkosi, uYehova wemikhosi.

12. Ziphi na, ziphi na ke izilumko zakho? Mazikuxelele kaloku, ziyazi into ayicebileyo uYehova wemikhosi ngeYiputa.

13. Bazizimathane abathetheli baseTsohan, balukuhliwe abathetheli baseNofu; bayilahlekisile iYiputa abayimbombo yezizwe zayo.

14. UYehova uthululele embilinini wayo umoya wobugwenxa, ukuba bayilahlekise iYiputa ekwenzeni kwayo konke, njengokugxadazela kwenxila emhlanzweni walo.

16. Ngaloo mini amaYiputa aya kuba njengabafazi, agubhe, ankwantye phambi kokulingisa ngesandla kukaYehova wemikhosi, alingisa ngaso kuwo.

17. Umhlaba wakwaYuda woyixhalabisa iYiputa; athi othe wawukhankanya kuyo, ankwantye, ngenxa yecebo likaYehova wemikhosi, alicebileyo ngayo.

18. Ngaloo mini imizi emihlanu ezweni lamaYiputa iya kuthetha intetho yelakwaKanan, ifunge uYehova wemikhosi; omnye kuya kuthiwa yi-Ir-heres.

19. Ngaloo mini kuya kubakho isibingelelo kuYehova phakathi kwelizwe lamaYiputa, nelitye elimisiweyo kuYehova ngasemdeni walo.

20. Oko koba ngumqondiso nobungqina kuYehova wemikhosi ezweni lamaYiputa; xa athe akhala kuYehova ngenxa yabaxinezeli bawo, wowathumela umsindisi nomthetheleli, awahlangule.

21. UYehova uya kuzazisa kumaYiputa, amazi uYehova amaYiputa ngaloo mini, amkhonze ngemibingelelo nangeminikelo yokudla; abhambathise ngezibhambathiso kuYehova, azizalise.

22. UYehova uya kuwabetha ke amaYiputa, ebetha ephilisa; abuyele kuYehova, yena athandazeke ngawo, awaphilise.
