1. Kwaza kwanyembeleka, Samariya echophe phezu kwentili echumayo,ntshingandini iliqhayiya kwiinkokheli eziyantazayo zakwaEfrayim;dumasindini elitshitsha njengentyatyambo,bhongondini lamanxila!
2. INkosi inengwanyalala eseyichophel' ukuhlasela.Sisitshu esofika ngathi sisiphango;yintw' engathi sisandyondyo semvula;ilizwe labo ngathi lisityekelwa ngunogumbe.
3. Woyiphosa phantsi emhlabeni!Loo ntshinga yeenkokheli ezinxilayo zaseSamariyayonyathelwa ixotyongwe ngeenyawo.
4. Loo ntyatyambo itshitshayo, ichophe phezu kwentili echumayo,yoba ngathi lulibo lwamakhiwane,lona luthi lungavela luqhawulwe lutyiwe.
5. Ikho kamb' imini ezayo;*uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke woba ngathi yintshinga,isiqhwaqhwalala sembasa yeentyatyambo;uya kuba njalo kwelo qaqobana lisindileyo.
6. Ke bona abo bachophel' ukugwebawobathi jize ngomoya wokwazelelela;abayi kusilela noolindikhaya emasangweni –wobakhuthaza abaphe ukomelela.
7. Nababingeleli ngokwabo bayanxila,nabashumayeli bayagxadazela butywala.Utywala babusela bade bahexe;ungafika beyotywe bade badideka.Abashumayeli bathwangeke bancitheka,nkqi ukuluqiqa udaba lukaThixo;nababingeleli bayashwantshatha butywala,abanako ukuyicalula imicimbi.
8. Iitafile – mh-mh-mh, zibondekile!Zitsho zangamanangalala bobubuyayo;kurhiphilili, akukho nendawo!
9. Kodwa bakhalaza bathi:“Ngubani ongafundiswa nguye?Ntshumayeloni yona leyo?Suka! Ifanel' iintsana, yini le!Ilingen' abakhov' ukulunyulwa!
10. Khanimbone ukuzimisela kwakhe!Khanimve epitiliza ubugoci-goci;yenjenje, yenjenjeya,nci-nci-nci-nci, yonk' inanana!”
11. Ngoko ke uThixo wonithumel' iintlanga,isizw' esilwimi lungaziwayo;ngaso woninik' isifundo.
12. Ngani nina aba kanye wathi:“Yiyo le intuthuzelo nokuphumla kwenu;le yindawo yokuphumla!”Suka ke nina anamhoya.
