1Nina nibantwana bakaSomnini uZimenu, ngalokho ningazirhayi namkha nizigude ehloko ngebanga labahlongakeleko. 2Nina nisisizwe esicwengileko kuSomnini uZimenu begodu uSomnini unikhethe phakathi kwabo boke abantu abasebusweni bephasi kobana nibe ngebakhe.
3Ningagomi litho elinyenyisako. 4Nanzi iinlwana enizazigoma: ikomo, imvu, imbuzi, 5imihlobo yehlangumataka, yeentsephe neyeenkukhama kanye nembuzi yommango, 6okutjho zoke iinlwana ezihlukanisa iinqatha kabili bezetjise. 7Kodwana ezihlukanisa iinqatha kabili kwaphela namkha ezetjisa kwaphela ningazigomi. Ikamela, umqasa nembila ziyetjisa kodwana azihlukanisi iinqatha kabili, ngalokho zisilaphele kini. 8Iwotji nayo ningayigomi ngombana ihlukanisa iinqatha kabili kodwana ayetjisi; isilaphele kini. Ningasithinti isidumbu sayo.
9Kizo zoke eziphila ngemanzini gomani lezi: zoke ezineengwedlo neempepha; 10koke okunganangwedlo neempepha ningakugomi. Lokho kusilaphele kini.
11Ningagoma zoke iinyoni ezihlambulukileko. 12Kodwana lezi, ngilezo eningakafaneli ukuzigoma: yoke imihlobo yamadlanga; 13-18imihlobo yabokholo, yoke imihlobo yamagubulu, iinciliba, yoke imihlobo yeenrhulurhulu, yoke imihlobo yamakhozi, abotlhame, amalanda, abonogolantethe, imihlobo yabodoyi, amagqovu nabonomaphelaphelana.
19Zoke iinunwana ezineempiko zisilaphele kini, ningazigomi. 20Zoke iinunwana ezihlambulukileko zona ningazigoma.
21Ningagomi ingcuba; inikeleni abatjhili abasemadorobhenenu kobana bazigomele yona. Nakungasinjalo niyithengisele imiqhamuka. Khumbulani bona nina nisisizwe esicwengileko kuSomnini uZimenu.
Ningapheki imbuzana ngebisi lakanina.
