₁Yelekelela, Simakade,

ngokuba akusekho muntu oqotho,

nabebethembekile abasekho kubantu.

₂Bakhuluma amanga,

omunye kumakhelwane wakhe,

ngezindebe ezithophayo,

nangezinhliziyo ezimbaxambili, bayakhuluma.

₃Sengathi uSimakade angazinquma izindebe ezithophayo,

ulimi olukhuluma amazwi okuziqhayisa.

₄Labo abathi:

“Thina sigabe ngolimi lwethu.

Sisho umathanda ngalo.

Pho iphi le nkosi ethi

ingasiphatha na?”

₅Kepha Wena Simakade, uthi:

“Ngenxa yabampofu abaphangwayo,

nababuswezi ababubulayo, ngizakuvuka,”

kusho uSimakade,

“ngimbeke endaweni ephephile, ayilangazelelayo.”

₆Amazwi kaSimakade ahlanzekile,

anjengesiliva elihlanzwe esithandweni somlilo,

lahlanzwa kasikhombisa emhlabathini.

₇Wena Simakade uyakubagcina,

umvikele kulesi sizukulwane, kuze kube phakade.

₈Izikhohlakali zehla zenyuka, zibukisa,

njengoba ububi budlangile nje

phakathi kwabantwana babantu.
