34Njenganje, uphahlazwe ngebanga lamalwandle
ekuzikeni kwamanzi.
Ipahlakho nomkhambathakho woke

35Boke abahlala magegana nelwandle
bayakhuza ngawe;
iinhluthu zamakhosabo ziyabophana ngevalo
nobuso bawo bunyamile;
36abarhwebi phakathi kwezizwe
bayababaza ngawe.
Sewuphenduke isethuso
begodu angekhe usabakhona.’ ”
