1. Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2. Nyana womntu, kwakukho abafazi ababini, iintombi zamfazi mnye.
3. Bahenyuza eYiputa, bahenyuza besebancinane; acofelwa khona amabele abo; zaphathwa khona iingono zamabele zobuntombi babo.
4. Amagama abo ke nguNtente-yakhe omkhulu kubo, noNtente-yam-kuye umsakwabo; baba ngabam, bazala oonyana neentombi. Amagama abo nguSamari uNtente-yakhe, yiYerusalem uNtente-yam-kuye.
5. UNtente-yakhe wahenyuza engumkam, watshiswa kukukhanuka izithandane zakhe, ama-Asiriya, umelwane lwakhe:
