4Zivela ngaphi izimpi lokulwa1 phakathi kwenu? Kakuveli lapha yini, enkanukweni2 zenu ezilwayo ezithweni zenua? 2 Liyafisa, kodwa kalilalutho; liyabulalab njalo lilomhawu, kodwa lingeke lazuzac; liyalwa futhi lenza impi, kodwa kalilalutho, ngoba kaliceli; 3 liyacela njalo kalemukelid, ngoba licela kubie, ukuze likuchithele enkanukweni3 zenu. 4 Zifebe lezifebekazif, kalazi yini ukuthi uthandog lomhlaba luyibutha kuNkulunkuluh? Ngakho loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngumngane womhlaba, wenziwa isitha sikaNkulunkului. 5 Kumbe licabanga yini ukuthi umbhalo utsho izej: Umoya ohlala kithi ufisela kumonak 4? 6 Kodwa uyanika umusa omkhulul; ngakho uthim: UNkulunkulu umelana labazigqajayon, kodwa abathobekileyo uyabapha umusa. 7 Ngakho zehliselenio p kuNkulunkulu, melanani lodiyabholaq, njalo uzalibalekela. 8 Sondelani kuNkulunkulu, laye uzasondela kinir; gezani izandlas, zoni, njalo lihlanze izinhliziyot, lina banhliziyombiliu. 9 Danani lilile likhalev; ukuhleka kwenu kakuphendulwe ukulila, lentokozo ukudana. 10 Zithobeniw x phambi kweNkosi, njalo izaliphakamisa.

11 Lingahlebaniy, bazalwane. Lowo ohleba umzalwane, amehlulele umzalwane wakhez, uhleba umlayo, ehlulele umlayoa; kodwa uba usehlulela umlayo, kawusumenzi womlayob, kodwa umahluleli. 12 Munye ummisumlayo, olamandla okusindisa lokubhubhisac; wena ungubani owahlulela omunyed?

13 Minani-ke linae elithi: Lamuhlaf loba kusasa sizakuya emzini othile, sihlale khonag umnyaka owodwa sithengiselane sizuzeh; 14 elingakwaziyo okwakusasa. Ngoba iyini impilo yenu? Ngoba iyinkungui ebonakala okwesikhatshana, emva kwalokho ibisinyamalala; 15 endaweni yalokho ngabe lithi: Uba iNkosi ivumaj, njalo sizaphila, sibe sesisenza lokhu kumbe lokhuyana. 16 Kodwa khathesi liyazincomak ekuzigqajeni kwenul; konkem ukuzincoma okunje kubin. 17 Ngakho lowo okwaziyo ukwenza okuhleo kodwa engakwenzi, kuyisono kuye.
