1. Nyana wam, ukuba uthe wammela ummelwane wakho,Wabambana nomnye ngesandla:
2. Urhintyélwe ngentetho yomlomo wakho,Uthiwé hlasi ngentetho yomlomo wakho.
3. Yenza le nto ngoku, nyana wam, uzihlangule;Kuba uzifaké esandleni sommelwane wakho;Yiya, ziwise phantsi, umzame ummelwane wakho.
4. Musa ukuwanika ubuthongo amehlo akho,Ungaziniki kozela iinkophe zakho;
5. Zihlangule esandleni njengebhadi,Njengentaka esandleni somthiyeli.
6. Yiya embovaneni, vilandini;Khangela iindlela zayo, ulumke:
7. Yona ithi, ingenamphathi,Namongameli, namlawuli,
8. Isuke isilungise isonka sayo ehlotyeni,Ikubuthe ukudla kwayo ngexa lokuvuna.
9. Kunini na ulele, vilandini?Ùya kuvuka nini na ebuthongweni bakho?
10. Xa uthe, Intwana yobuthongo, intwana yokozela,Intwana yokukhwabusha izandla ukuba ndilale:
