3Wo ri livhanya na zwi konḓaho,

4Wo ri ṱomela tshiga ra tshi kuvhanganela,

ra tinya misevhe.

6Mudzimu o amba e fhethu hawe hukhethwa, a ri,
“Ndi ḓo kunda maswina nda kovha Shikheme,
Govha ḽa Sukotho nda ḽi kovhekanya;
7Giliadi ndi ḽanga, na shango ḽa Manase;
Efraimi ndi nguwane yanga,
luḓo lwanga lwa vhuhosi ndi Juda;
8Muaba ndi sambelo ḽanga;
Edomo ndi posa navhula yanga,
ha vha u sumbedza uri ndi ḽanga;
inwi Vhafilista,
mphululedzeni ni luvhe!”
9Ndi nnyi a no ḓo ntswikisa Edomo,
nda dzhena musanda waho wo tangwaho nga mitsheṱo?
10Ndi nnyi arali e si Iwe Mudzimu?
Hone zwino wo ri laṱa, Mudzimu,

11Iḓa u ri phalale musi wa khombo,

12Rí na Mudzimu ri ḓo lwa sa vhahali,
Ene u ḓo kandekanya maswina ashu.
