1UBheli uyakhothama, uNebho uyaguqa;
2Bayakhothama baguqe ndawonye;
3“Ngilalela wena ndlu kaJakhobe,
4Lasebudaleni benu, inwele zenu sezimhlophe,
5Ngubani elingangilinganisa laye kumbe limbale njengolingana lami na?
6Abanye bathulula igolide emigodleni yabo
7Bayamphakamisela emahlombe abo bamthwale;
8Khumbulani lokhu, likufake ezingqondweni zenu,
9Khumbulani izinto zakuqala ezendulo.
10Mina ngenza isiphetho sazakale
11Empumalanga ngibiza inyoni edla ezinye;
12Ngilalelani lina elilezinhliziyo ezilukhuni,
