1 Sabani, nyana bakaBhenjamin, niphume phakathi kweYerusalem, naseTekowa, nivuthele isigodlo, niphakamise into iphakame phezu kweBhetehakerem; ngokuba ububi buyalunguza, buvela entla, nembubhiso enkulu.
2 Umntwana omhle, umteketiswa, intombi enguZiyon, ndiyayitshabalalisa.
3 Beza kuyo abalusi nemihlambi yabo, bagxumeka kuyo iintente zabo ngeenxa zonke; badla elowo endaweni yakhe.
4 Yingcwaliseleni imfazwe; sukani nime, sinyuke emini enkulu. Athi ke thina! Imini iza kusangana, ngokuba amathunzi okuhlwa ayoluka.
5 Sukani nime, sinyuke ebusuku, sizitshabalalise iingxande zayo ezinde.
6 Ngokuba utshilo uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Yigawuleni imithi yayo, niyifumbele iYerusalem udonga lokungqinga; wona mzi wokuvelelwa, wonke uphela, unocudiso phakathi kwawo.
7 Njengoko iqula liwampompozisayo amanzi alo, yénjenjalo ukumpompozisa izinto zayo ezimbi. Ukugonyamela nokubhuqa kuvakala kuyo; kuhleli kukho phambi kobuso bam isifo nesibetho.
