1Kuhle kubonga wena, Simakadze,
nekuhlabelela egameni lakho,

2nekuvakalisa umusa wakho ekuseni,
nekwetsembeka kwakho ebusuku,
3nakushaywa ihabhu
lenetintsambo letilishumi,
nelugitali, netintsambo telire.
4Ngobe nguwe, Simakadze,
longente ngatfokota ngaloko lokwentile,
imisebenti yetandla takho
ingente ngahlabelela ngekujabula.
5Maye, mikhulu imisebenti yakho, Simakadze!
Imicabango yakho ijule kakhulu.
6Sihhundzahhundza

umuntfu losilima angeke acondze
7kutsi nome lababi bangahluma njengetjani,
nato tonkhe tigilamkhuba tichuma,
noko tiyawubhujiswa phakadze naphakadze.
8Kodvwa wena, Simakadze,

9Ngobe nato titsa takho, tiyawubhubha;

10Kodvwa luphondvo lwami uluphakamisile
njengeluphondvo lwenkhabi lengumlalandle,

11Titsa tami ngitibuke emehlweni,
netindlebe tami titivile tinsongo
talabo lababi labemelene nami.
12Lolungile uhluma njengelisundvu,

13Labo-ke banjengetihlahla
letihlanyelwe endlini yaSimakadze,

bafanane netihlahla letihlala tiluhlata,
ngobe tona tihlala ticinile,
15kuze kubonakale kutsi Somandla ulungile,
yena ulidvwala lami,
yena unguSokulunga.
