1 Isiphrofethi:
2 laphezu kweHamathi layo, engcelelane layo,
3 IThire isizakhele inqaba;
4 Kodwa uThixo uzayemuka inotho yayo
5 I-Ashikheloni izakubona lokho yesabe;
6 Abezizwe bazayithatha i-Ashidodi bahlale kuyo,
7 Ngizathatha igazi emilonyeni yabo,
8 Kodwa ngizayivikela indlu yami
9 Thokoza kakhulu, wena Ndodakazi yaseZiyoni!
10 Ngizazisusa izinqola zempi ko-Efrayimi
11 Wena pho, ngenxa yegazi lesivumelwano lawe,
12 Buyelani enqabeni yenu, lina zibotshwa ezilethemba;
13 Ngizamgoba uJuda njengalokhu ngigoba idandili lami
14 Kulapho-ke uThixo azaqhamuka ngaphezu kwabo;
15 njalo uThixo uSomandla uzabavikela.
16 UThixo uNkulunkulu wabo uzabasindisa ngalelolanga
17 Yeka ukukhanga kwabo lobuhle abazakuba yibobona!
