Melusi ka-Israyeli, Khanya
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Ngomculo othi “Iminduze”; ubufakazi buka-Asafu; ihubo.
Umvini wathathwa eGibhithe, watshalwa, wakhula waze umthunzi wawo wamboza izintaba — manje izindonga zawo zidiliziwe futhi abadlulayo bayazikha izithelo zawo. Kathathu kuvela isiqubulo esifanayo: sibuyisele, Baba wethu, ubuso bakho mabukhanye, ukuze sisindiswe.
