9Ngoba konke lokhu ngakubeka enhliziyweni yami ukuhlolisisa konke lokhua, ukuthi abalungileyo labahlakaniphileyo lezenzo zabo kusesandleni sikaNkulunkulub; loba uthando kumbe inzondo, kakho umuntu okwaziyo, konke okuphambi kwaboc. 2 Konke kwehla ngokufananayo kubo bonked; sinye isehlakalo kolungileyo lakomubi, komuhle, lakohlambulukileyo lakongahlambulukanga, lakonikela umhlatshelo lakonganikeli umhlatsheloe; njengolungileyo sinjalo isoni, ofungayo njengowesaba isifungof. 3 Yilobu ububi phakathi kwakho konke okwenziwa ngaphansi kwelanga, ukuthi sinye isehlakalo kukho konkeg, futhi lenhliziyo yabantwana babantu igcwele ububi, lobuhlanya busenhliziyweni yabo besaphila, lemva kwalokhu baya kwabafileyoh.
4 Ngoba kulowo ohlanganiswe labo bonke abaphilayo kulethemba, ngoba inja ephilayo ingcono kulesilwane esifileyo. 5 Ngoba abaphilayo bayazi ukuthi bazakufa, kodwa abafileyo kabazi lutho, njalo kabaselawo umvuzoi, ngoba ukukhunjulwa kwabo sekukhohlakelej. 6 Futhi uthando lwabo lenzondo yabo lomona wabo sekubhubhile, njalo kabasayikuba lesabelo laphakade kukho konke okwenziwayo ngaphansi kwelangak.
7 Hamba, udle ukudla kwakho ngentokozo, unathe iwayini lakho ngenhliziyo elenjabulol, ngoba uNkulunkulum usethokozile ngemisebenzi yakhon. 8 Izigqoko zakho kazibe ngezimhlophe ngesikhathi sonkeo, lamafutha angasweleki ekhanda lakhop. 9 Kholisa impilo lomkakho omthandayo zonke izinsuku zempilo yakho eyize akunike yona ngaphansi kwelanga, zonke izinsuku zakho eziyizeq, ngoba lesi yisabelo sakho empilweni, lemtshikatshikeni owutshikatshika ngaphansi kwelangar. 10 Loba kuyini isandla sakho esikutholayo ukukwenzas kwenze ngamandla akhot, ngoba kawukho umsebenzi lecebo lolwazi lenhlakanipho engcwabeni lapho oya khonau.
11 Ngaphenduka ngabona ngaphansi kwelangav ukuthi umjaho kawusiwabalejubanew, lempi kayisiyamaqhawe, futhi lesinkwa kasisabahlakaniphileyox, futhi lenotho kayisiyabalolwazi, futhi lomusa kawusiwezingcitshiy, kodwa isikhathi lesehlakaloz kwehlela bonkea. 12 Ngoba futhi umuntu kasazi isikhathi sakheb; njengenhlanzi ezibanjwa embuleni elibic, lanjengezinyoni ezibanjwa emjibilenid, njengazo abantwana babantu bayabanjwa esikhathini esibi, lapho sibajumae.
13 Lale inhlakanipho ngayibona ngaphansi kwelanga, njalo yaba nkulu kimi. 14 Kwakukhona umuzi omncinyane, okwakulabantu abalutshwana phakathi kwawo; kwasekusiza inkosi enkulu kuwo, yawuvimbezelaf, yawakhela amadundulu amakhulu okuvimbezelag. 15 Kwasekutholakala phakathi kwawo umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ongumyangah, yena-ke ngenhlakanipho yakhe wawukhulula lowomuzii. Kanti kakho owake wamkhumbula lowomuntu ongumyangaj. 16 Mina ngasengisithi: Inhlakanipho ingcono kulamandlak, lanxa ukuhlakanipha komyanga kuseyiswalm lamazwi akhe engalalelwa. 17 Amazwi abahlakaniphileyo azwiwa ekupholeni ngcono kulokumemeza kobusayo phakathi kwezithuthan. 18 Inhlakanipho ingcono kulezikhali zempio, kodwa isoni esisodwa sichitha ubuhle obunengip.
