- Banoyolo abo bayithobelayo imfundiso kaNdikhoyo,
abayilulamelayo ngomxhelo wabo wonke. - Othe kule ntaba: ‘Funquka, uphoseke elwandle;’ abe ke esitsho engathandabuzi entliziyweni yakhe, kodwa ekholwa ukuba oko akuthethayo kuya kwenzeka, wokwenzelwa.
- Ndakusazi isigwebo sakho esingenagobe,
ndiya kukuncoma ngenene nangenyaniso. - Amaxhala ayamtyhafisa umntu;
ke wona amazwi enkuthazo ayahlaziya. - Mayibe ndim kuphela osentliziywemi yakho oku komsesane wokutywina;
ewe, mandibe ngumsesane wokutywina engalweni yakho.
Lent' uthando lunamandla nqwa nokufa;
ikhwele lalo aliqheliseli oku kwengcwaba.
Ludangazela ngathi lidangatye,
luvuthe ngathi ngumlilokazi. - Niyabona ke, mawethu, lumkani kungabikho bani kuni ukhohlakeleyo, ungakholwayo, ongumkreqi kuThixo ophilayo.
- Umnqweno ongafezekiyo uyamngcungcuthekisa umntu;
kanti ke wakufezeka umnqweno ufana nomthi onika ubomi. - Kambe maze ninyaniseke ngokupheleleyo ekuwuthobeleni umyalelo nomthetho eniwuwiselwe nguMosis isicaka sikaNdikhoyo, othi: ‘Mthande uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho; mthobele ezintweni zonke, uyigcine imiyalelo yakhe, unamathele kuye, umkhonze ngomxhelo wonke nangomoya wakho wonke.’
- Ndihamba ngokomlomo wakho,
khon' ukuze ndingoni. - Kodwa ndithembe uthando lwakho olungajikiyo;
ndochulumacha kuba uyandihlangula.
Ndombonga uNdikhoyo, kuba endiphethe ngobubele. - Ithemba ke lona alidanisi, kuba uthando lukaThixo luthululelwe ezintliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oyiNgcwele esamnikwayo.
- Imfundiso yakho lilifa lam nanini na;
ewe, iluyolo entliziyweni. - Ndithi sanukuzikrazula izinxibo,
koko zisoleni kukrazuk' iintliziyo.
Buyelani kuNdikhoyo uThixo wenu;
kaloku yena unesisa kwanemfobe,
uza kade umsindo,
yimvuze-mvuze ngobubele;
ewe, unebuyambo, akananqala. - Hayi ke, yitya isonka sakho wonwabile, usele iwayini yakho uchwayitile entliziyweni, kuba ngoku lithuba elikholekileyo kuThixo lokuba wenze oko.
- Khawundifundise iindlela zakho, Ndikhoyo,
khon' ukuze ndinamathele enyanisweni.
Ewe, ndifundise ukukuhlonela, Nkosi;
ndikunqule ndingankwalambisi. - Ke wena, mfo wam, wagqale amazwi am,
uyibazele iindlebe into endikuxelela yona.
Amazwi am makangacimi emehlweni akho,
koko wamilisele phakathi entliziyweni yakho. - Mfo wam, ndingonwaba kakhulu
xa ingqondo yakho idlamkile. - Ewe kaloku, utsho uNdikhoyo,
yena uthi: “Qalisani kwangoku.
Buyelani kum ngamxhelo mnye
ngokuzila, ngeenyembezi, nangesingqala.” - Wathi kubo: “Nikwanje nani na ukungaqondi? Aniqondi na ukuba konke akutyayo umntu, akunako ukumngcolisa? Kaloku akungeni entliziyweni yakhe, kungena esiswini, kuze kuphume xa aye ngasese.” Ngala mazwi uYesu wayesithi zonke izidlo zihlambulukile.
- Nokuba ndingade ndingqongwe ngumkhosi,
andiyi kuba naluvalo konke.
Nokuba ndirhawulwe yimfazwe,
ndiya kuthembela ngoNdikhoyo. - Intliziyo yam mayinxanele imfundiso yakho
ndaweni yokusukelana nenzuzo yobuqhophololo. - Mandikubonge ngomxhelo wam wonke, Ndikhoyo,
ndibalise ngayo yonke imimangaliso oyenzileyo. - Nivile ukuba kwathiwa: ‘Uze ungakrexezi.’ Ke mna ndithi kuni, wonke umntu okhangela umntu obhinqileyo embawela, uselekrexezile entliziyweni yakhe.
- Ngoku ke sendiza kufa. Nazi mhlophe ezintliziyweni zenu nasemiphefumlweni yenu ukuba akukho nanye into ayithembisileyo angayenzanga uNdikhoyo; ewe, akukho nanye into ayithethileyo angayiphumelelisanga.
- Nokuthi umthande yena ngentliziyo iphela, nangengqiqo iphela, nangamandla ephela, nokuthi umthande ummelwane wakho kanye ngale ndlela uzithanda ngayo, kungaphezulu lee kunayo yonke imibingelelo namadini atshiswayo.
