1 Isiqalekiso esimayelana leMowabi:

I-Ari eMowabi itshabalalisiwe,

idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa.

IKhiri eMowabi itshabalalisiwe;

idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa.

2 IDibhoni iya phezulu ethempelini layo;

ezindaweni zayo eziphakemeyo ukuyalila;

iMowabi ililela iNebho leMedebha.

Amakhanda wonke aphuciwe;

indevu zonke zigeliwe.

3 Ezindleleni bagqoka amasaka,

phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu lasezindaweni zabantu bonke,

bayalila bonke,

baphele amandla ngokulila.

4 IHeshibhoni le-Eliyale kuyakhala,

amazwi akho azwakala laseJahazi.

Ngakho-ke amabutho aseMowabi ayakhala,

inhliziyo zawo zidangele.

5 Inhliziyo yami ikhalela iMowabi,

ababalekayo bayo babaleka baze bayefika kude eZowari;

kude njengase-Egilathi Shelishiya.

Bahamba ngendlela eya eLuhithi,

bakhala ohanjweni lwabo;

endleleni eya eHoronayimi

balilela ukubhujiswa kwabo.

6 Amanzi aseNimirimi acitshile,

utshani bubunile,

uhlaza kalusekho,

akukho lutho oluluhlaza oluseleyo.

7 Ngakho inotho abayizuzileyo bayigcina,

bayithwalela ngaphetsheya kweSifula semiDubu.

8 Ukuklabalala kwabo kuzwakele emngceleni waseMowabi,

ukukhala kwabo kufika kude e-Egilayimi,

ukulila kwabo kufika eBheri-Elimi.

9 Amanzi aseDimoni agcwele igazi

kodwa ngizajinge ngilethe okunengi phezu kweDimoni,

isilwane phezu kwababalekayo baseMowabi,

lakulabo abazasala elizweni.
