1 Kwathi ekuphumeni kuka-Israyeli eGibhithe,

indlu kaJakhobe isuka ebantwini bolimi lwezizweni,

2 uJuda waba yindlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu,

u-Israyeli waba ngumbuso wakhe.

3 Ulwandle lwakubona lwabaleka,

iJodani yabuyela emuva.

4 Izintaba zaqothuka njengenqama,

amaqaqa enza njengamawundlu.

5 Kwakungani, we lwandle, wasuka wabaleka?

Wena Jodani wabuyela emuva?

6 Lani zintaba laqolotsha njengenqama,

lina maqaqa njengamawundlu?

7 Thuthumela, we mhlaba, phambi kukaThixo,

phambi kukaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,

8 owaphendula idwala laba lichibi,

idwala eliqinileyo laba ngumthombo wamanzi.
