Ubuqili bowesifazana omubi
7Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi amia, uzibekele imilayo yamib. 2 Gcina imilayo yamic, uphiled, lomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yamehlo akhoe. 3 Ukubophele eminweni yakhof, kubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakhog. 4 Uthi kunhlakanipho: Ungudadewethu; ubize ukuqedisisa ngokuthi yisihlobo sakhoh; 5 ukuze kukugcine kumfazi wemzinii, kowesifazana wemzini oyengayo ngamazwi akhej.
6 Ngoba ewindini lendlu yamik, ngeminxibo yewindi ngalunguza phandlel, 7 ngasengibona phakathi kwabangelalwazim, ngananzelela phakathi kwabatsha ijaha eliswele ingqondon, 8 lisedlula esitaladenio eceleni kwengonsi yakhep, linyathela endleleni yendlu yakhe, 9 kusihlwa, ngentambama yosukuq, ebusuku obumnyama, lomnyamar. 10 Khangela-ke, owesifazana walihlangabeza, lesembatho sewule, elobuqili ngenhliziyos. 11 Lo wayelomsindot, eyisiqholou; inyawo zakhe kazihlali endlini yakhev. 12 Khathesi uphandle, abesesiba ezitaladeni, ecathama kuyow yonke ingonsix. 13 Ngokunjalo walibamba, walanga, waqinisa ubuso bakhe, wathi kulo: 14 Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula ikimiy; lamuhla sengibhadele izifungo zamiz. 15 Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ukukuhlangabeza, ngidingisise ubuso bakho; ngikutholilea. 16 Ngendlele umbheda wami ngezendlalob, ngamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu alemibalabala avela eGibhithec. 17 Ngifafazile umbheda wamid ngemure*e, izinhlabaf, lekinamoni*g. 18 Woza, sizidakise ngothando kuze kuse, sizithokozise ngothando olukhulu. 19 Ngoba indoda kayikho endlini yayo, ihambile uhambo khatshanah. 20 Ithethe isaka lemali esandleni sayo; ngosuku lwenyanga egcweleyo izakuza endlini yayoi. 21 Walihuga ngobunengi bemfundiso yakhej, walivumisa ngenkulumo zakhe ezincengayok. 22 Lahle lamlandela njengenkabi isiya ekuhlatshweni, lanjengesiphukuphuku sisiya ekujezisweni esongweni lenqagala; 23 uze umtshoko uhlabe isibindi salo, njengenyoni iphangisela esifwini, ingazi ukuthi simelene lempilo yayol.
24 Khathesi-ke, bantwana, ngizwenimn, lilalele amazwi omlomo wamio. 25 Inhliziyo yakho kayingaphambukeli endleleni zakhe; ungaduhi emikhondweni yakhep. 26 Ngoba ubawisele phansi abanengi abalimeleyo, labo bonke ababuleweyo bakhe banengiq. 27 Indlu yakhe izindlela zesihogor, ezehlela emakamelweni okufas.
