Ukucela uncedo

Iculo labahambi.

1 Ndazibika *kuNdikhoyo ndixhwalekile;

yena wandiva, wasabela.

2 Ndathi: “Mhlekazi, ndihlangule

kumaxoki nakubakhohlisi.”

3 Nithi makenze ntoni ngani uThixo?

Nisalindele ntoni eyenye, maxokindini,

4 ngaphandle kotolo lwemfazwe olubukhali,

ngokunjalo neziko elimalahle avuthayo!

5 Athi ke mna, mnt’ ubhacele kwaMesheki,

mna mntu uxhwarhe phakathi kwamaKedare!

6 Kunini ndihlalele ukungcuchalaza

phakathi koompayipheli.

7 Phi ke, ndisithi nje ndakuthetha,

basuke bahlab’ umkhosi.
