11 “‘Ngobe naku lokushiwo yiNkhosi Lephakeme Jehova: “Mine lucobo lwami ngitatifuna letimvu tami, futsi ngitatinakekela.+

16 Imvu lelahlekile ngitayifuna,+ naledukile ngitayibuyisa, nalelimele ngitayibhandisha, futsi lebutsakatsaka ngitayinika emandla; kodvwa lekhuluphele nalenemandla ngitayicotfula. Leyo ngitayondla ngesehlulelo.”

12 “Nicabangani? Nangabe indvodza letsite inetimvu letingu-100 bese yinye yato iyalahleka,+ ngeke yini itishiye etintsabeni leti letingu-99, ihambe iyofuna lena lelahlekile?+ 13 Ngiyanitjela ngitsi nangabe iyitfola, ijabula kakhulu ngayo kwendlula leti letingu-99 lebetingakalahleki.

10 Ngobe iNdvodzana yemuntfu yetela kutofuna lebebalahlekile nekutobasindzisa.”+
