¹Maye kuwe Ariyeli, Ariyeli,

²Ikanti i-Ariyeli ngizalivimbezela,

³Ngizakuhlasela amacele wonke,

⁴Nxa usudilizelwe phansi, uzakhuluma uphansi,

⁵Kodwa izitha zakho ezinengi,

⁶UThixo uSomandla uzafika

⁷Lapho-ke amaxuku ezizwe zonke ezilwa le-Ariyeli,

⁸njengomuntu olambileyo ephupha esidla,

⁹Thithibalani limangale,

¹⁰UThixo ulehlisele ubuthongo obukhulu:

¹¹Kini umbono wonke lo kawusilutho kodwa amazwi nje avalelwe encwadini egoqiweyo. Njalo nxa incwadi leyo liyiqhubela umuntu okwaziyo ukubala lithi kuye, “Ake ubale lokhu,” uzaphendula athi, “Anganelisi, ngoba ivaliwe.”

¹²Loba nxa incwadi leyo liyiqhubela umuntu ongakwaziyo ukubala lithi kuye, “Ake ubale lokhu,” uzaphendula athi, “Angikwazi ukubala.”

¹³UThixo uthi:

¹⁴Ngakho-ke abantu laba ngizaphinda ngibethuse

¹⁵Maye kulabo abatshona phansi ukuba

¹⁷Ngesikhatshana esifitshane nje,

¹⁸Ngalolosuku izacuthe zizawezwa amazwi omqulu,

¹⁹Abathobekileyo bazathokoza futhi kuThixo,

²⁰Abalesihluku bazanyamalala,

²¹labo abenza umuntu abe lecala ngokufakaza amanga,

²²Ngakho-ke lokhu yikho uThixo owahlenga u-Abhrahama akutshoyo kwabendlu kaJakhobe:

²³Lapho bebona abantwana babo,

²⁴Abalahlekileyo emoyeni bazakuba lokuzwisisa;
