UISAYA 18

₁Wo kuwena-lizwe lokuhashaza kwamaphiko

eliphesheya komfula waseKushe,

₂elithuma izigijimi ngolwandle

nangemikhumbi yemihlanga phezu kwamanzi.

Hambani nina-zithunywa ezinejubane,

niye esizweni esidephileyo nesikhazimulayo,

kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni,

isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo,

esiyizwe laso lidatshulwé yimifula.

₃Nonke nina enakhileyo ezweni

nani nonke enihlezi emhlabeni

bhekani, lapho ibhanela* liphakanyiswa ezintabeni;

zwanini, lapho icilongo libethwa.

₄Ngokuba uJehova ushilo kimi kanje, wathi:

Ngiyakubheka ngithule, ngisendaweni yami,

njengokubalela okukhazimula ekukhanyeni kwelanga,

njengefu lamazolo ekufudumaleni ngesikhathi sokuvuna.

₅Ngokuba kungakafiki ukuvuna,

nokukhahlela sekuphelile,

nembali isiphenduka isithelo esivuthiweyo,

uyakunquma amahlumela ngawocelemba,

awasike amagatsha, awasuse.

₆Ayakushiywa ndawonye abe-ngawamanqe asezintabeni

nawezilwane zasemhlabeni;

amanqe ayakuhlala ehlobo phezu kwawo,

nazo zonke izilwane zomhlaba ziyakuhlala ebusika phezu kwawo.

₇Ngalesosikhathi kuyakulethwa isipho kuJehova-Sebawoti

yibo abantu abadephileyo nabakhazimulayo,

sivela kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni,

isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo,

esiyizwe laso lidatshulwé yimifula,

endaweni yegama likaJehova-Sebawoti,

intaba yaseSiyoni.
