9Akahlali asola;

10Akasiphathi njengokufanele izono zethu;
akasibuyiseleli ngokulingene amacalethu.
11Njengokuphakama kwezulu ngehla kwephasi,
kungako ukwethembeka kwakhe kwabamesabako.
12Njengepumalanga idedelene netjingalanga,
ngokunjalo ususa iimphambeko zethu kithi.
13Njengoyise onesirhawu ebantwaneni bakhe
noSomnini unesirhawu kangako kwabamesabako.
14Yena uyazi bona sibunjwe ngani,

15Amalanga wobhubhako anjengotjani:
Uqhakaza njengelikhwa lommango,
16kodwana lokha ummoya nawulibethako, liyaphela,
indawalo lingasayazi.
17Nokho ukwethembeka kwakaSomnini
kungokwanini nanini kwabamesabako
nokulunga kwakhe kungokweenzukulwana
18kilabo abalonda isivumelwano sakhe,
iye, labo abakhumbula ukulandela ifundiswakhe.
19USomnini unzinzise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ezulwini;
