DIEMA 9
Bohlale bo laletša batho
1Bohlale bo agile ntlo ya bjona; bo betlile kokwane tša bjona tše di šupago. 2Bo hlabile dihlabja tša bjona, bja fotla morara wa bjona, bja sola ditshola tša bjona. 3Bja roma dimatlane, tša laletša batho di le diokamong, tša re: 4Yo e lego wa lešilo, a a fapogele mono! Bahlokatlhaloganyo ba thwe: 5Tlang le jeng bogobe bja ka, le nweng morara wo ke o fotlilego. 6Lahlang bošilo le phele, le tšee ka tsela ya tsebo.
7Mokgalamokweri o oba mašapa, mosolasehlola o oba dihlong. 8Mokweri se mo kgale, a se tlo go hloya; o kgale yo bohlale, a tle a go rate. 9Ruta yo bohlale a tšwelele pele bohlaleng. Ruta moloki a ekeletšwe tsebo.
10Mathomo a bohlale ke go boifa Morena; tlhaloganyo ke go tseba Yena Mokgethwa. 11Gobane ka nna o tlo atelwa ke matšatši, wa okeletšwa nywaga ya go phela. 12Ge o hlalefa, o itshetša; ge o le mokweri, o rwala molato o nnoši.
13Mosadi wa setlatla o na le mašata; ke lešilo, ga a tsebe selo. 14O dula mojako wa ngwako wa gagwe, e ke ke madulo a bogoši mo motseng. 15O bitša bafeti ba tsela, ba ba swerego tsela ya go loka. 16Yo lešilo, a a fapogele moo; a se nago mogopolo, a a mo kwe a re: 17Go tsefa meetse a bohodu; selewathopeng se a natefa. 18Go tlo ya e a sa tsebego ge moo go na le ba ba hwilego, ge malalediwa agwe a le sekoting sa bahu.
