UZimu wakwa-Israyeli umugwebi wephasi loke
1Kumkhaleli; ngesililiso seenara; irhubo laka-Asafa; ingoma.
2KwaJuda uZimu uyaziwa,
ibizo lakhe likhulu kwa-Israyeli.
3Umtlhatlhanakhe wanzinziswa eSalema,
iye, indawakhe yokuhlala eseZiyoni.
4Lapho wephula imisubela ebenyezelako,
isihlangu, isabula neenkhali zepi.
5Wena Ziyoni, uyaphazimula,
udarhe udlula iintaba ezikuzumako.
6Iingorho zemukwe ipangwazo,
zisacwile phakathi ebuthongweni;
woke amabutho abanjwe izandla.
7Ngokukhalima kwakho, Zimu kaJakopo,
kukhungatheka umkhweli nenjomani.
8Somnini, mbala wena uyesabeka!
Ngubani ongajama phambi kwakho
lokha nasele ubhoke ngelaka lakho na?
9Lokha nawukhupha isigwebo sakho usezulwini,
iphasi lethuka lathula du.
10Iye, uZimu wasikima kobana agwebe,
asindise boke abagandelelweko benarha.
11Ngambala, iRhamathi-Aramu izakudumisa,
iye, inengi leRhamathi lizakuphephela kuwe.
12Yenzani iinthembiso kuSomnini uZimenu
begodu niziphethe.
Akuthi zoke izizwe zombelele,
zilethe iimbiko koSabekako;
13yena othobisa amakhosana,
nowenza amakhosi wephasi athuthumele.
