2 Waphakamisa amehlo akhe uBhileham, wawabona amaSirayeli ehleli ngokwezizwe zawo, uMoya kaThixo wamfikela.
3 Wasusela ngomzekeliso wakhe, wathi,Utsho uBhileham unyana kaBhehore,Itsho indoda ecinywe amehlo;
4 Utsho ova ukuthetha kukaThixo,Owubonayo umbono woSomandla,Esiwa phantsi, etyhilwe amehlo.
5 Azizintle ngako iintente zakho, Yakobi!Neminquba yakho, Sirayeli!
6 Zitwabulukile njengezihlambo,Njengamasimi aphezu komlambo,Njengemihlàba etyelwe nguYehova,Njengemisedare* ephezu kwamanzi.
7 Aya kumpompoza amanzi emiphandeni yakhe,Imbewu yakhe ingasemanzini amaninzi.Ukumkani wakhe makabe ngaphezulu koAgagi,Buziphakamise ubukumkani bakhe.
8 UThixo umkhupha eYiputa.Amendu akhe anjengawenqu.Uya kuzidla iintlanga, ababandezeli bakhe,Awakhukhuze amathambo abo,Abaphaluse ngeentolo zakhe.
