1 Lithembekile ilizwi ^aelithi: Uba umuntu efisa isikhundla sombonisi ^b, ufisa umsebenzi omuhle; 2 ngakho kumele ukuthi umbonisi ^{c
,} ^d abe ngongasolekiyo ^e, indoda yomfazi munye ^f, ozithintayo ^g, oqondileyo ^h, oziphatha ngokufaneleyo, ophatha kuhle izihambi ⁱ, olelisu lokufundisa ^j; 3 angabi yisidakwa ^k, angabi ngothanda ukulwa, anganxwaneli inzuzo embi ^l, kodwa abe mnene ^m, angabi ngothanda ukuxabana ⁿ, angabi ngothanda imali ^o; 4 ephatha kuhle owakhe umuzi ^p, elabantwana abalalela ^q ngenhlonipho yonke ^r, 5 ngoba uba umuntu engakwazi ukuphatha owakhe umuzi, angaligcina njani ibandla likaNkulunkulu? ^s 6 Kangabi ngosanda ukukholwa, hlezi ngokukhukhunyezwa ^t awele ekulahlweni kukadiyabhola ^u. 7 Kumele futhi ukuthi abe lobufakazi obuhle ^v kwabangaphandle ^w, hlezi awele ekuthukweni lemjibileni kadiyabhola ^x.
