1“U-Israyeli esesengumntwana, ngangimthanda
2Kodwa kwathi lapho u-Israyeli ngimbiza kanengi
3Yimi engafundisa u-Efrayimi ukuhamba,
4Ngabakhokhela ngentambo zomusa woluntu,
5Kabayikubuyela eGibhithe na,
6Izinkemba zizaphazima emadolobheni abo,
7Abantu bami bazimisele ukungihlamukela.
8Ngingakukhalela kanjani, Efrayimi?
9Kangiyikwenza okwentukuthelo yami eyesabekayo,
10Bazamlandela uThixo*;
11Bazakuza bevela eGibhithe
