6Batho bana

7Kgutsang ha le le kapele ho Morena,

8Mohla Morena a etsang sehlabelo,
ke tla otla mahosana

le bohle ba apereng meaparo esele.
9Mohla tsatsi leo ke tla otla,
ke otle ba sa hateng

10“Mohla tsatsi leo,”
ho rialo Morena,
“mokgosi o tla utlwahala
Monyakong wa Ditlhapi,

11Bokollang, lona ba ahileng

hoba bahwebi bohle ba lona
ba tla fediswa,
bohle ba ananyang ka silefera

12Ka nako eo
Jerusalema ke tla e lekola,
ke e lekole
ke e kgantshitse ka mabone;
ke otle bohle ba dutseng ba iketlile,
ba kang maritsa a veine a qitile,
ba duletseng ho bua ka pelo, ba re:
‘Morena a ke ke be a etsa letho,
a ke ke be a etsa botle
leha e le bobe.’
13Matlotlo a bona a tla lobelwa,
matlo a bona a heletswe,
e be masupi.
Matlo a bona wona ba tla a haha,
empa ha ba ka ke ba dula ho wona;
morara le wona ba tla o hloma,
empa veine ya wona
ha ba ka ke ba e nwa.”
Letsatsi le leholo la Morena
14“Tsatsi le leholo la Morena
le atametse, le tla le potlakile,
Utlwang, tsatsi la Morena ke leo!
Mohlabani o tla howa a se na tshepo.
15Tsatsi leo ke tsatsi la kgalefo,
ke tsatsi la tlokotsi le la mahlomola,
ke tsatsi la timelo le la tshenyeho,
ke tsatsi la lefifi la bo-nka-ntjana,
tsatsi le phetheselang maru,
maru a matshomatsho!
16Ke tsatsi la lenaka ho houtsa,
ke tsatsi la mokgosi wa ntwa,
ke tsatsi la ho futuhela metse,
la ho futuhela marako,
marako a tshireletso!
17Ke tla bakela batho mahlomola,
tsela ba e phopholetse sa difofu,
hoba ba entse sebe,
ba sitetswe Morena.
Madi a bona
a tla tsholoha sa lehlabathe,
mala a bona
a petletsehe sa bolokwe.
18Mohla tsatsi leo
la kgalefo ya Morena,
silefera ya bona,
esita le yona kgauta,
tsena ha di ka ke
tsa tseba ho ba pholosa.
Kgalefo ya Morena
e tukang malakabe,
e tla tlokoma, e tjhese lefatshe lohle.
Baahi bohle ba lefatshe
o tla ba timetsa,
a ba timetse hang,
ka ho panya ha ntshi.”
