UZimu kumele adunyiswe
1Vumani ingoma etja kuSomnini;
iphasi loke alivumele uSomnini!
2Vumelani uSomnini, nidumise ibizo lakhe,
nilethe iindaba ezimnandi zesindiswakhe
imihla ngemihla.
3Memezelani iphazimulwayo ezizweni
neemangaliso zayo hlangana nabantu boke.
4Mbala mkhulu uSomnini
begodu kumele adunyiswe ngamandla.
Yena wesatjwa ngaphezu kwabozinyana boke
5ngombana abosingazimu babantu
baziinthombe nje kwaphela.
USomnini wawenza amazulu,
6ukuhlonitjhwa nobukhosi kuphambi kwakhe,
iye, amandla nephazimulo kusethempelini lakhe.
7Lethani kuSomnini nina nkoro zezizwe;
iye, lethani kuSomnini idumo namandla.
8Lethani kuSomnini idumo elifanele ibizo lakhe;
lethani iminikelo,
ningene esirhodlweni sethempeli lakhe.
9Lotjhani uSomnini ekucwengeni kwephazimulwakhe;
iphasi loke alithuthumele phambi kwakhe.
10Memezelani ezizweni nithi:
“USomnini uyabusa!
Ilizwe lihlezi lanzinza,
angeze lanyakaziswa.
Uzakugweba izizwe ngokufaneleko.”
11Amazulu akathabe, iphasi lijabule,
ilwandle lihlokome nakho koke okukilo.
12Ummango awusase nakho koke okukiwo,
yoke imithi yehlathi ihlokome
13phambi kwakaSomnini
ngombana uyeza,
iye, uyeza bona azokugweba iphasi.
Uzakugweba ilizwe ngokulunga
nezizwe ngeqiniso lakhe.
