1 Ngomnyaka wesibini uNebhukadenetsare engukumkani, uNebhukadenetsare waphupha amaphupha, wakhathazeka umoya wakhe, waphelelwa bubuthongo.
2 Ukumkani wathi makubizwe izazi, nabakhwitsi, nabakhafuli, namaKaledi, bamxelele ukumkani amaphupha akhe. Beza ke bema phambi kokumkani.
3 Wathi ukumkani kubo, Ndiphuphé iphupha; umoya wam ke ungqungela ukulazi iphupha elo.
4 AmaKaledi athetha ke kukumkani ngesiAram, athi, Kumkani, yidla ubomi ngonaphakade! Bálawulele abakhonzi bakho iphupha elo; sokuxelela ukutyhilwa kwalo.
