1 “Zwanini lokhu, lina baphristi!
2 Abahlamuki batshonile ekubulaleni,
3 Mina ngazi konke ngo-Efrayimi;
4 Izenzo zabo kazibavumeli
5 Ukuzigqaja kuka-Israyeli kufakaza okubi ngaye;
6 Lapho behamba lemihlambi yezimvu zabo leyenkomo
7 Kabathembekanga kuThixo;
8 Khalisani icilongo eGibhiya,
9 U-Efrayimi uzachithwa
10 Abakhokheli bakoJuda
11 U-Efrayimi uncindezelwe,
12 Mina nginjengenondo ku-Efrayimi,
13 Kwathi u-Efrayimi ebona umkhuhlane wakhe,
14 Ngoba ngizakuba njengesilwane ku-Efrayimi,
15 Ngizabuyela endaweni yami
