17 Ndiza kumbona, kodwa hayi ngoku;

Ndiza kumbona, kodwa hayi ngokukhawuleza.

Kuza kuphuma inkwenkwezi+ kwaYakobi,

Kuvele intonga yobukhosi+ kwaSirayeli.+

Yaye nakanjani uza kuliqhekeza ibunzi* likaMowabhi+

Namathambo eentloko zoonyana besiphithiphithi.

 2 Ngoko ndiza kuthumela umlilo kwaMowabhi, uziqwenge iinqaba ezikhuselekileyo zaseKeriyoti;+

UMowabhi uza kufa ngoxa kusitsho ingxolo,

Kuhlatywa umkhosi, kuvakala nesandi sophondo.+
