1. Kunyaka wesithathu uSirasi engukumkani wasePeshiya uDaniyeli okwabizwa ngokuba nguBhelteshazare watyhilelwa udaba oluthile. Olo daba luyinyani, kodwa kunzima ukululandela. Kambe ke waluchazelwa ngombono.
2. Ngelo thuba ke mna Daniyeli ndazila iiveki zada zantathu.
3. Ndandingatyi kutya kodidi, nditsho nenyama nawayini zange ndizifake emlonyeni wam, yaye zange ndithambise nokuthambisa kwada kwadlula ezo veki zintathu.
4. Ke kaloku ngosuku lwamashumi amabini anesine kwinyanga yokuqala yonyaka ndandimi phezu komlambo omkhulu iHidekele.
5. Ndathi ndakukhangela ndabona indoda enxibe iimpahla zelinen, ibhinqe ngebhanti yegolide ecwengileyo.
6. Umzimba wayo wawubengezela okwelitye elinqabileyo, ubuso bayo bunjengombane, ke amehlo wona enjengezibane ezivuthayo. Iingalo zayo nemilenze zazimenyezela ngathi lubhedu olukhazimlisiweyo, ilizwi lona livakala ngathi yingxokolo yabantu abaninzi.
7. Lo mbono ke wabonwa ndim ndodwa mna Daniyeli. Amadoda endandikunye nawo wona zange awubone, koko asuka arhwaqela, aphakuzela, aya kuzimela.
8. Ke mna ndasala ndodwa ndiwubukele loo mbonokazi. Ndasuka ndavikiveka, nobuso bam bambatsha, ndaphelelwa tu ngamandla.
9. Ndayiva ke ithetha, ndathi ndisaphulaphule njalo ndalala obunzulu ubuthongo, ubuso bam bujongise emhlabeni.
