Ngiyakuthanda, Simakade, ongamandla ami.
Simakade, uyidwala lami nenqaba yami,
noMkhululi wami,
uNkulunkulu wami;
uyidwala engikhosela kulo,
isihlangu sami, nophondo lwensindiso yami,
inqaba yami.
Ngikhala kuSimakade omele ukudunyiswa,
ngisindiswe ezitheni zami.
Izintambo zokufa zangizungeza,
izikhukhula zembubhiso zangikhungatha.
Izintambo zendawo yabafileyo zangibamba.
Izihibe zokufa zangehlela.
Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala kuSimakade,
ngakhala, uNkulunkulu walizwa izwi lami
esethempelini lakhe;
ukukhala kwami, kwafinyelela ezindlebeni zakhe.
Umhlaba wazamazama, wathuthumela,
izisekelo zezintaba zanyakaza,
zashukumela emuva naphambili, wavutha.
Ukhafula intuthu ngamakhala akhe,
kuthaphuke umlilo oqothulayo emlonyeni wakhe,
akhafule amalahle avuthayo.
Uqhekeza isibhakabhaka
bese ehla emi ngezinyawo zakhe,
phezu kwesigayegaye sobumnyama.
Uza endiza, egibele ikherubhi,
eshweza ngamaphiko omoya.
Uzisonge ngobumnyama,
wazemboza ngemvula yamafu amnyama bhuqe!
Wendulelwa ngumbani,
amafu akhe ehlisa isichotho
namalahle avuthayo.
USimakade uyaduma esibhakabhakeni;
Ophezukonke uyabhodla,
wehlisa isichotho namalahle ankemuzelayo.
Uciba ngemicibisholo yakhe,
izitha zihlakazeke;
umbani ulokhu uthi nyazi,
uzidudulela kude.
Ngenkathi Wena, Simakade, uzithethisa,
lapho uzifutha ngamakhala akho,
umphefumulo wakho uziqumbe phansi.
Izinzulu zolwandle zavela obala,
nezisekelo zomhlaba zaba kwabha.
