Mrholozi Sangubo ovela kaMgagadhla epumalanga kwalanga libalele
Somhlawulan’
sihlawula tsweni ilihlo lomsuthu aliboni kubona lika-Somhlawulani
Ngumbina komo sazila isikhumba sayo, sazil' ibisi layo, sadl' inyama yayo
Nguvovu okhal' inyoni, Ngudzwiri awakhamb' emagadeni emacatheni weenkomo Mavovo
ako-nyoni Marhobejan' ako-jaji Malil' angakabethwa BoMsiza, BoSangubo baphiwa

E! Msiza!

Mrholozi!
Mbina komo yetlhaba.
Mfazi wamabele amade owamunyisa umntwana ngaphetjheya kweligwa niligwana.
Ngumathethela, Lilihlo loMsuthu aliboni libona tlhabalantsweni.
Simavovo akonyoni, Simarhobejani akojaja, Amalila angakabethwa
NguMsiza, owasiza uNdala amadoda alibele.
SingebakwaSomaphengwana.

E! Msiza!
Iimbongo zikaMsiza
Saphuma kuLangalibalele, kuDlomu kaMthimkhulu.
Sikhutjhwe ngezekhaya, sabetha ithango ngemva.
Wazibetha zasuka uSangubo kaLiphahla,
Wehla ngamathango womabili, wehla ngeKangala, wathi asemithonjaneni yikaSangubo wazibethela zajama.
Yehla inyoni yesirhodimo
Umoya omumbi owageda iinkomo nabantu.
Abantu sewuqede amatjhumi abunane, Iinkomo uqede amatjhumi alithoba nanye.
Wazibetha zasuka uSangubo kaLiphahla.
Uthe angaphetjheya kweligwa neligwana, wazibethela zajama.
Kwavela uNdala. Undala uvela ngoNomude.
USangubo uthi: “ungiliphi?”
UNdala naye uthi kuSangubo “Ungiliphi?” wathi: “NginguSangubo”
Uthi:”Ndala wenzani uvuthela igazi ngomlomo”.
UNdala wathi: “Sangubo, ubuza nelibonwako na?”
Usukile uSangubo kaLiphahla, waya kunina uNangubokazi, wathi: “Mma uyezwa na? Nangu uNdala uphethe amathumbu ngezandla, uvuthela igazi ngomlomo.”
Unina wathi: Mntanami, isifo samanzi ngiyasesaba; Abangani bakho laba, bazakuthi nabakubulalako nawe uzazibulalela.”
UNangubokazi wakwaMnguni, umfazi onamabele amade, uthe: “Ngipha ingubo yedini”
Wayithatha wayimbatha emhlana, enye wamnikela waguqa ngamadolo phezu kwayo, wathi: “Mntanami ngibakhandisile, bazakuthi bakubulala, nawe uzibulalele, lambetha lingaziwa.”
Uthi uKumbuza kaMsiza, ukhumbuza abakhulu ukuhlabana, kandi abancani balibele.
Wahlulukela uGobholibi kaMasanabo,
USotjambunda wabandazela iimbambo zamadoda,
USomatjhiya, indoda eyakhotha ubovu ngomlomo,
USombambo zaya uluhlu zaya amasolokohlo.
Saphuma kuLangalibalele, kuDlomu kaMthimkhulu.
Sikhutjhwe ngezekhaya, sabetha ithango ngemva.
