3 ¹Nyana wam, musa ukulibala imfundiso yam, kodwa intliziyo yakho mayigcine imithetho yam, ²kuba iya kukongezela ubude bemihla neminyaka yobomi noxolo. ³Lungakushiyi uthando lomnqophiso nokuthembeka; zibophe entanyeni yakho, uzibhale ecwecweni lentliziyo yakho. ⁴Ngokunjalo wofumana ububele negama elihle kuBawo wethu nasebantwini.

⁵Kholosa ngoBawo wethu ngentliziyo yakho yonke, ungayami kokwakho ukuqonda. ⁶Ezindleleni zakho zonke mazi, aze aziphuhlise iindlela zakho.

⁷Musa ukuzenza isilumko emehlweni akho; woyike uBawo wethu, utyeke ebubini. ⁸Oku kuya kuwuphilisa umzimba wakho, kuwahlaziye namathambo akho.

⁹Beka uBawo wethu ngobutyebi bakho nangentlahlela yongeniselo lwakho lonke, ^a a v9 Intlahlela yaba sisahlulo sokuqala nesona silungileyo sesivuno, esinikelwa kuBawo wethu phambi kokuba kusetyenziswe nasinye kuso. ¹⁰zize ke oovimba bakho bazaliswe yindyebo, nezixovulelo zakho ziphuphume yiwayini entsha.

¹¹Nyana wam, musa ukuyidela ingqeqesho kaBawo wethu, ungakrwaqulelwa kukuthethisa kwakhe, ¹²kuba uBawo wethu uyamqeqesha lowo imthandayo intliziyo yakhe, njengokuba uyise amqeqeshayo unyana akholiswayo nguye.

¹³Unoyolo lowo ubufumanayo ubulumko, nalowo uyifumanayo ingqondo, ¹⁴kuba inzuzo evela kubo ingaphezu kweyesilivere, kananjalo inzuzo yabo ingaphezu kwegolide. ¹⁵Unqabile ngaphezu kwamatye anqabileyo, akukho nto uyinqwenelayo inokulinganiswa nabo. ¹⁶Ubomi obude busesandleni sabo sokunene; ngasekhohlo kubo kukho ubutyebi nozuko. ¹⁷Iindlela zabo zimnandi, umendo wabo wonke luxolo. ¹⁸Bungumthi wobomi kwabababambayo; abo babubamba bungqolo kuthiwa banoyolo.

¹⁹UBawo wethu ngobulumko waliseka ihlabathi; ngengqondo wawazinzisa amazulu; ²⁰ngokwazi kwakhe zagqabhuka iinzulu, aza amafu achithela umbethe.

²¹Nyana wam, mazingemki emehlweni akho ezi zinto; gcina ubulumko obuqinileyo nengqiqo, ²²zize zibe bubomi emphefumlweni wakho, zibe sisihombo entanyeni yakho. ²³Ngoko wohamba ngendlela yakho ukholosile, lungakhubeki unyawo lwakho. ²⁴Ukuba uthe wangqengqa, akuyi koyika; wakulala, buya kuba mnandi ubuthongo bakho. ²⁵Musa ukoyikiswa luqhiphulo-mbilini olungxamileyo, nangcithakalo yabangendawo, xa isiza, ²⁶kuba uBawo wethu uya kuba yinkoloseko yakho, awugcine unyawo lwakho ungabanjwa.

²⁷Musa ukubabandezela okulungileyo abo bakufaneleyo, xa kusemandleni esandla sakho ukukwenza. ²⁸Musa ukuthi kummelwane wakho: “Hamba, ubuye, ngomso ndiya kukunika”—unako nje kuwe. ²⁹Ummelwane wakho ungamyili ububi, yena ohleli ekholosile ngakuwe. ³⁰Musa ukubambana nabani na kungekho sizathu, akakwenzelanga nto imbi nje.

³¹Musa ukuba nomona ngomfo ogonyamelayo, ungakhethi nanye yeendlela zakhe, ³²kuba umntu onenkohliso ulisikizi kuBawo wethu, kodwa abathe tye ubasondeza kuye. ³³Isiqalekiso sikaBawo wethu sisendlwini yabangendawo, kodwa uyalisikelela ikhaya lamalungisa. ³⁴Kwabahlekisayo uyabadela, kodwa abathobekileyo ubenzela ubabalo. ³⁵Izilumko ziya kudla ilifa uzuko, kodwa iziyatha zifumana ihlazo kuphela.
