1 Maye ngelizwe elilokuphaphazela kwempiko

emifuleni yaseKhushi,

2 elithuma izithunywa zihamba olwandle

ngezikepe zemihlanga phezu kwamanzi.

Hambani, zithunywa ezilejubane,

liye ebantwini abade abalejwabu elibutshelezi,

ebantwini abesatshwayo ezindaweni zonke,

isizwe esilolaka, esilolimi olungaziwayo,

esilizwe laso lehlukaniswe yimifula.

3 Lonke lina bantu bomhlaba,

lina elihlala emhlabeni,

lapho uphawu luphakanyiswa phezu kwezintaba

lizalubona,

lalapho uphondo lukhala

lizaluzwa.

4 Lokhu yikho uThixo akutshoyo kimi:

"Ngizakwala ngithule,

ngikhangele ngisendaweni yami yokuhlala,

njengokucwebezela kokutshisa ekukhanyeni kwelanga,

lanjengenkungu yamazolo ngesikhathi sokuvuna."

5 Ngoba kungakavunwa, lapho ukukhahlela sekudlule,

amaluba esesiba livini elivuthiweyo,

uzaquma amahlumela ngamahloka okuthena,

aqume lengatsha ezinabayo, azisuse.

6 Zonke zizatshiyelwa izinyoni zasezintabeni ezidla inyama,

lezinyamazana zeganga;

izinyoni zizakudla ihlobo lonke,

izinyamazana zeganga ubusika bonke.

7 Ngalesosikhathi izipho zizalethwa kuThixo uSomandla

zivela ebantwini abade abalamajwabu abutshelezi,

zivela ebantwini abesatshwayo ezindaweni zonke.

Isizwe esilolaka, esilolimi olungaziwayo,

esilizwe laso lehlukaniswe yimifula,

izipho zizalethwa entabeni iZiyoni, endaweni yeBizo likaThixo uSomandla.
