1Kukho ububi endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga, buninzi ke phezu komntu:
2yindoda uThixo ayinike ubutyebi, nokuqweba, nozuko, ungasweli umphefumlo wayo nanye into engáyinqwenelayo, aze uThixo angayiphi amandla okuyidla; ngokuba idliwa yenye indoda. Ngamampunge lawo, sisifo esibi eso.
3Ukuba umntu uthe wazala ikhulu labantwana, wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, yamininzi imihla yeminyaka yakhe, umphefumlo wakhe àwahlutha zizinto ezilungileyo, kananjalo akaba nangcwaba: ndithi mna, imvambilini ilungile kunaye.
4Ngokuba ifike ingamampunge, imka kumnyama, igama layo ligutyungelwe bubumnyama;
5kananjalo ayilibonanga ilanga, ayilazanga; le yona ilungile kunomntu lowo.
6Nokuba ebeya kudla ubomi iwaka leminyaka kude kube kabini, angàkuboni okulungileyo, ayiyi ndaweni-nye na yonke loo nto?
7Yonke imigudu yomntu uyenzela umlomo wakhe; ukanti umphefumlo awuzali.
8Ngokuba isilumko sisigqitha ngantoni na isidenge? Usigqitha ngantoni na olusizana, okwaziyo ukuhamba phambi kwabaphilileyo?
9Kulungile ukubona kwamehlo ngaphezu kokuhambahamba komphefumlo. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
10Loo nto iselikho, yabe iselithiywe kade igama layo; yaziwa into aya kuba yiyo umntu; akanakumelana nalowo unokumeyisa.
11Ngokuba kukho amazwi amaninzi nje, andisa amampunge; umntu unalungelo lini na ngaloo nto?
12Ngokuba ngubani na owaziyo okumlungelelyo umntu ebomini, ngangenani lemihla yobomi bakhe obungamampunge, ayigqiba njengesithunzi? Ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela umntu into eya kubakho emva kwakhe phantsi kwelanga?
