1 Yeha, abamisi bemimiselo yobutshinga, ababhali ababhala uxhamlo;
2 ukuze bazisunduze izisweli, zingafiki ematyaleni, bazihluthe ibango lazo iintsizana zabantu bam, ukuba abahlolokazi babe lixhoba labo, baphange iinkedama!
3 Niya kuthini na ke ngemini yovelelo, nasesithongeni esivela kude? Niya kusabela kubani na ukuba anincede, nilushiye phi na uzuko lwenu?
4 Akukho kumbi, sekukukuguqa phakathi kwabakhonkwixeyo, bawe phakathi kwababuleweyo. Kuko konke oko, awubuyi umsindo wakhe, sisolukile isandla sakhe.
5 Yeha, uAsiriya, ntonga yomsindo wam; luswazi olusesandleni sabo ukubhavuma kwam!
6 Ndiya kumthumela kuhlanga oluyintshembenxa, ndimwisele umthetho ngabantu bokuphuphuma komsindo wam, ukuba athimbe amaxhoba, aphange okuphangiweyo, abenze into yokunyathelwa njengodaka lwezitrato.
