1 Duduzani, libaduduze abantu bami,
2 Khulumani ngomusa kulo iJerusalema,
3 Ilizwi lomemezayo lithi:
4 Zonke izigodi zizaphakanyiswa,
5 Inkazimulo kaThixo izabonakaliswa,
6 Ilizwi lithi, “Memeza!”
7 Utshani buyabuna amaluba ayakhithika,
8 Utshani buyabuna, amaluba ayakhithika,
9 Wena oletha izindaba ezinhle eZiyoni,
10 Khangelani, uThixo Wobukhosi uza elamandla,
11 Welusa umhlambi wakhe njengomelusi:
12 Ngubani olinganise amanzi entendeni yesandla sakhe,
13 Ngubani osewazwisisa imicabango kaThixo,
14 Ngubani owake wacelwa nguThixo ukuba ameluleke,
15 Ngeqiniso izizwe zinjengethonsi emgqonyeni;
16 ILebhanoni kalaneli imililo ye-alithare,
17 Phambi kwakhe zonke izizwe zinjengeze;
18 Pho ngubani elingamfanisa loNkulunkulu na?
19 Isithombe sibunjwa yingcwethi,
20 Umuntu ongumyanga onganelisiyo ukunikela ngomnikelo onjalo
21 Kalazi yini?
22 UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini ngaphezu kwendingiliza yomhlaba,
23 Udiliza amakhosana,
24 Banele ukugxunyekwa nje,
25 “Ngubani elizangilinganisa laye na?
26 Phakamisani amehlo enu likhangele phezulu:
27 Kungani usithi, we Jakhobe,
28 Kalazi yini?
29 Abakhatheleyo uyabanika amandla,
30 Labatsha baphelelwa ngamandla bakhathale,
31 kodwa labo abathemba uThixo
