1. Emva koko ke uYobi wathetha wawuqalekisa umhla awazalwa ngawo.
2. Ewe, uYobi uvakele esithi:
3. “Ngamana zange wathwasa umhla endazalwa ngawo;nditsho nobo busuku apho kwathiwa: ‘Namhlanje kukhawulwe indoda!’
4. Akwaba loo mini yayingumnyam' ombonde-mbonde;mini leyo noThixo kweliphezulu angayihoyanga;mini ingazange yabonana nokukhanya!
5. Ngeyambathiswe sisiphitha-nyongo sobumnyama;ngeyisityekelwe ziingqimba zamafu.Loo mini ngeyirhwaqeliswe sisithokothoko sobumnyama;
6. nobo busuku ngebambathiswe sisithokothoko,suka àbabalelwa kwimihla yonyaka,àbakhankanywa phakathi kweentsuku zeenyanga.
7. Ewe, akwaba obo busuku babuludlolo;akwaba kwakungavakalanga kumemelela kubo.
8. Iinkintsela zokuqalekisa imihla ngeziyiqalekisile loo mini;ngeziyifunze ngengwenya.
9. Iinkwenkwezi zangorhatya ngezimnyama;loo mini ngeyilindele ukusa kodwa kungaze kufike,nomsobomvu ungaze uthi chapha!
10. Kaloku ayizivalanga iingcango zesizalo esandizalayo,ayandiphephisa kule nkxwaleko ndikuyo.
