1. Emveni koko uYobhi wawuvula umlomo wakhe, wayiqalekisa imini yakhe.
2. Wasusela uYobhi, wathi,
3. Mayidake imini endazalwa ngayo,Nobusuku ekwathiwa, Kukhawulwé indoda.
4. Loo mini mayibe bubumnyama,Angayinyamekeli uThixo phezulu,Kungayibengezeli ukukhanya.
5. Mayikhululwe ngentlawulelo bubumnyama nethunzi lokufa,Makulale amafu phezu kwayo;Mayidandathekiswe kokungcolisa imini.
6. Obo busuku — masibubambe isithokothoko;Mabungavuyi phakathi kwemihla yomnyaka;Mabungangeni enanini leenyanga.
7. Yabona, obo busuku mabube ludlolo;Makungezi kumemelela kubo.
8. Mababuqalekise abaqalekisi bemihla,Abaxhobele ukuxhokonxa ileviyatan.*
9. Mazibe mnyama iinkwenkwezi zomso wabo obomvu;Mabulinde ukufika kokukhanya, kungabikho;Bungaziboni iinkophe zesifingo;
10. Ngokuba bungazivalanga iingcango zesizalo esandizalayo,Bungabusithelisanga ububi emehlweni am.
11. Ibe iyini na ukuba ndingàfeli embilinini,Ndingàphumi umphefumlo ndisavela esizalweni?
