UZimu mkhulu kunabosingazimu
1Akungabi kithi Somnini,
iye, akungabi kithi ukuhlonitjhwa;
kodwana akube sebizweni lakho
ngebanga lokwethembeka nobuqotho bakho.
2Kubayini izizwe zithi uphi uZimabo,
3khisibe usezulwini,
wenza koke akuthandako na?
4Abosingazimu babo balisiliva negolide,
okumsebenzi wezandla zomuntu.
5Banemilomo kodwana ayikhulumi;
banamehlo kodwana akaboni.
6Baneendlebe kodwana azizwa;
baneempumulo kodwana azinukeleli.
7Banezandla kodwana azinamizwa;
baneenyawo kodwana azikhambi;
imiphimbabo ayikwazi ukuhomuza.
8Ababenzileko bafana nabo;
banjalo-ke boke abathembela kibo.
9Israyeli, thembani uSomnini!
Mbala, ulisizo nesihlangu senu.
10Ndlu ka-Aroni, thembani uSomnini!
Mbala, ulisizo nesihlangu senu.
11Nina abesaba uSomnini,
thembani kuye!
Mbala, ulisizo nesihlangu senu.
12USomnini uyasikhumbula:
Uyabusisa, iye, abusise indlu ka-Israyeli,
abusise indlu ka-Aroni,
13abusise labo abamesabako,
abakhulu nabancani.
14Kwanga uSomnini anganandisa,
nina nabantwabenu.
15Inga ningabusiswa nguSomnini
owenza izulu nephasi!
16Amazulu mazulu kaSomnini,
iphasi walinikela abantu.
17Abafileko abamdumisi uSomnini,
iye, noyedwa owehlela kwabathulileko.
18Kodwana thina sizamdumisa uSomnini,
kusukela nje bekube nini nanini.
Haleluya!
