“ ‘ “Wawuyisibonelo sokupheleleyo;
ugcwele ukuhlakanipha,
uphelele ngobuhle.
Use-Edene, ensimini kaNkulunkulu;
wonke amatshe ayigugu ekusibekele;
irubhi, ithopazi, idayimani,
ishohamu, ijasiphi, isafire,
isimaragidu, ikhrisolithe;
imvunulo yakho, nezisekelo zamatshe zaziyigolide,
zilungiswe ngosuku owadalwa ngalo.
Wagcotshwa waba yikherubhi elingumlindi;
ngakubeka entabeni engcwele kaNkulunkulu,
wahamba ematsheni omlilo.
Wawungenasici ezindleleni zakho,
kusukela osukwini owadalwa ngalo
kwaze kwaba lapho kutholakala okubi kuwe.
Ngokuhweba kwakho kakhulu,
wagcwala ubudlova,
waphambuka;
ngakulahla entabeni kaNkulunkulu usungcolile,
ngakubhubhisa wena kherubhi elingumlindi,
wasuka ematsheni omlilo.
Inhliziyo yakho yakhukhumala
ngenxa yobuhle bakho,
wakonakalisa ukuhlakanipha kwakho
ngokukhazimula kwakho.
Ngakuqumba phansi,
ngabeka amakhosi ukuba akuqaphe.
Wazingcolisa izindlu zakho ezingcwele,
ngenxa yobuningi bobubi bakho,
nangenxa yokuhweba kwakho okungalungile;
ngenza ukuba kuqubuke umlilo kuwe,
wakushisa wangqongqa.
Ngakwenza waba ngumlotha emhlabathini,
phambi kwabo bonke abakubonayo.
Zonke izizwe ezazikwazi zamangala ngenxa yakho;
usufike esiphethweni esesabekayo,
awusayukuba bikho kuze kube phakade.” ’ ”
