Umhobe wokudumisa

1 Aa! Bayethe, Mhlekazi!

Memelelani niculele *uNdikhoyo ingoma entsha

abongwa ngayo ebandleni lakhe labanyanisekileyo!

2 USirayeli makagcobe agcolode ngoMdali wakhe;

oonyana beZiyon mabachulumache ngoKumkani wabo.

3 Mabadude bamdumise bememelela,

betsholoza bembonga ngegubu nekatala.

4 Kaloku uNdikhoyo akaziva ngosapho lwakhe;

abazithobayo ubathi jize ngoloyiso!

5 Imilowo yakhe mayitaka-take ngemincili;

mayimemelele ngemihlali naxa ilalayo;

6 mayitsho ngentsholo idumisa uThixo,

amakrele abazwe macala esezandleni,

7 ukuze iphakele iintlanga impindezelo,

ixhaphaze izizwe ngesohlwayo,

8 ibasonge ibakhonkxe ookumkani ngamakhamandela,

zona izikhulu zabo izikhuleke ngemixokelelwana,

9 khon’ ukuze ifezekise isigwebo sikaThixo phezu kwabo.

Nântso ke intshinga yemilowo yakhe.

Masikhahlele sithi: “Bayethe, Mhlekazi!”
