₁USirayeli makabalise athi:

“Iintshaba zandihlasela kwandiseyimveku.

₂Ewe, zanditshutshisa kwandiselula,

kodwa zange zindongamele.

₃Zandixobula umqolo, ndangathi bendilinywa.

₄Kambe ke yena *uNdikhoyo ulilungisa;

undikhulule kwiimbophelelo zabakhohlakeleyo.”

₅Bonke abayithiyileyo iZiyon mababuye bephoxekile.

₆Mabafane nengca entshula phezu kwendlu,

yona idodobalayo ingakhuli.

₇Ayide isikwe nokusikwa;

futhi ayiqokelelwa ibe zizipha.

₈Nabadlulayo abatsho nokutsho ukuthi:

“UNdikhoyo makanithamsanqele;

thina siyanithamsanqelisa egameni likaNdikhoyo!”

₃Musa ukukholosa ngamanene;

sukuthemba umntu, kuba akaloncedo.

₄Uthi akuba efile abuyele emhlabeni;

ngaloo mini buyatshitsha ubuchule bakhe.

₁Ekusibuyiseleni *kukaNdikhoyo eZiyon,

ngokuya sasiphuma ekuthinjweni,

kwasuka kwaba ngathi liphupha.

₂Safumana sagigitheka yintsini,

kwayintswahla yemincili novuyo.

Zade zatsho nezizwe zathi:

“Ngenene uNdikhoyo ubenzele izinto ezinkulu.”

₃UNdikhoyo usincede kakhulu, ngoko ke siyavuya.

₄Khawusibuyisele inkqubela, Ndikhoyo,

njengamanzi empompoz' entlango.

₅Abo bahlwayela behlininika besezinyembezini

banga bangavuna bebobotheka yimincili.

₆Abo baphuma bahambe bezibambe ngeenkophe,

bepheth' imbewu, besiya kuhlwayela,

bobuya bedanduluka, bememelela ngemincili.

Kaloku bobuya besikaza, bethwel' isivuno.
