- InguNdikhoyo nje ondikhanyiselayo,
inguye nje ondisindisayo, ndingoyika ntoni?
InguNdikhoyo nje inqaba yam, ndingoyika bani? - Nokuba ndingade ndingqongwe ngumkhosi,
andiyi kuba naluvalo konke.
Nokuba ndirhawulwe yimfazwe,
ndiya kuthembela ngoNdikhoyo. - Ndinqwenela into enye kuphela kuNdikhoyo,
ndaye ndifuna yona kanye:
le yokuba ze ndihlale kwaNdikhoyo yonke imihla yobomi bam,
ndiqwalasele ubuhle bakhe, ndimfune endlwini yakhe. - Ngenene ndobuxhamla kambe ububele bukaNdikhoyo
lo gama ndisadla amazimba. - Thembela kuNdikhoyo; yomelela, ube nesibindi!
Ewe, thembela kuNdikhoyo wena!

Waphendula ke esithi:“Ngaba umfazi angalulibala na usana lwakhe,
ade angavakalelwa ngowakhe umntwana?
Noba ke yena angade amlibale,
okokwam ke mna soze ndikufulathele,
kuba igama lakho ndilivambile,
ndilithe tyaba esandleni sam;
iindonga zakho zihlala zisemehlweni am.”Ivesi elandelayo!
