1 Vuka, vuka, wena Ziyoni,
2 Thintitha uthuli lwakho;
3 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo:
4 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:
5 Khathesi kuyini engilakho lapha?” kubuza uThixo.
6 Ngakho-ke abantu bami bazalazi ibizo lami,
7 Yeka ubuhle phezu kwezintaba,
8 Lalela! Abalindi bakho baphakamisa amazwi abo,
9 Hlokomani ndawonye ngezingoma zokuthokoza,
10 UThixo uzaveza ingalo yakhe engcwele
11 Sukani, sukani, phumani lapho!
12 Kodwa kaliyikusuka ngokuphangisa,
13 Khangelani, inceku yami izakwenza ngokuhlakanipha,
14 Njengoba babebanengi abanengwayo yiyo,
15 ngakho-ke izachela izizwe ezinengi,
