1. Ngokuba yonke le nto ndayinyamekela ngentliziyo yam, ndayihléla yonke le nto, yokuba amalungisa, nezilumko, nemisebenzi yabo, isesandleni sikaThixo; nokuthanda nokuthiya, akukhona ekwazini kwabantu; le nto yonke basebeyimiselwe.
2. Izinto zonke zibahlèla ngokufanayo bonke: sinye isihlo kwilungisa nakongendawo; kolungileyo, kohlambulukileyo, nakoyinqambi; kobingelelayo nakongabingeleliyo; njengoko anjalo olungileyo, unjalo nomoni; ofungayo unjengalowo ukoyikayo ukufunga.
3. Le yinto embi phakathi kwezinto zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga, ukuthi sibe sinye isihlo kubo bonke; ibe nentliziyo yoonyana babantu izele bububi; ibubugeza entliziyweni yabo besadla ubomi; emveni kwabo kuyiwa kwabafileyo.
4. Ngokuba kosukuba ehlonyelwa kwabasadla ubomi, kusekho ithemba; ngokuba inja esaphilileyo ilunge ngaphezu kwengonyama efileyo.
5. Ngokuba abadla ubomi bayazi ukuba baya kufa; ke bona abafileyo àbazi lutho, àbasabi namvuzo; ngokuba balityelwe, àbasakhunjulwa nganto.
6. Seluphelile kade uthando lwabo, nentiyo yabo, nekhwele labo; àbasenasabelo naphakade ezintweni zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga.
7. Yiya udle isonka sakho unovuyo, usele iwayini yakho unentliziyo echwayithileyo; ngokuba sekukade ekholisiwe uThixo zizenzo zakho.
8. Iingubo zakho mazibe mhlophe ngamaxesha onke, neoli mayingasweleki entlokweni yakho.
9. Hlala kakuhle nomfazi omthandileyo ngemihla yonke yobomi bakho obungamampunge, akunikileyo phantsi kwelanga, ngemihla yakho yonke engamampunge; ngokuba sisabelo sakho eso ebomini, nasemigudwini yakho owaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga.
10. Yonke into esiyifumanayo isandla sakho ukuba siyenze, yenzé ngamandla akho; ngokuba akukho kwenza, nakucinga, nakwazi, nakulumka kwelabafileyo, apho uya khona wena.
11. Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga, ukuba ukugidima asikokwabanamendu, imfazwe asiyeyamagorha; kananjalo isonka asisesezilumko; kananjalo ubutyebi asibobabanenqiqo; kananjalo ubabalo asilolwabanokwazi; ngokuba bonke bephela bafikelwa lixesha nasisihlo.
12. Ngokuba umntu akalazi nexesha lakhe; njengeentlanzi ezibanjiswe ngomnatha ombi, nanjengeentaka ezibanjiswe ngomgibe, banjalo ukurhintyelwa kwabo oonyana babantu ngexesha elibi, xa libawele ngesiquphe.
