9Lesivumelwane asiyiwufanana naleso
lengasenta naboyise,
ngesikhatsi ngibabamba ngesandla
ngibakhipha eveni laseGibhithe.
Abasigcinanga leso sivumelwane sami,
ngako-ke nami angibange ngisabanaka,”

10“Ngulesi-ke sivumelwane
lengiyawusenta nendlu yaka-Israyeli
ngetikhatsi letitako,”

“Ngiyawufaka imisetfo yami
etingcondvweni tabo,
ngiyibhale etinhlitiyweni tabo,
ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo,
bona babe sive sami.
11Kuyawubate sidzingo sekutsi
makhelwane afundzise makhelwane,
nome-ke lomunye afundzise umnakabo, atsi:
‘Yati iNkhosi,’
ngobe bonkhe bayawungati
kusukela kulomncane
kuze kube ngukulomdzala.
12Ngobe ngiyawuba nemusa ekoneni kwabo,
ngingeke ngiphindze
ngitikhumbule tono tabo.”
