20Mundu avulakhuho uliitsa khwikhala muko

Vaharabu valiitsa khulekha khusimiikha maheemo kavo muko;

21Navutswa tsinyama tsiumbulimu tsiliitsa khumenyamu,
khandi vindu vitsiula tsiulanga

22Tsisiimbwa tsiumbulimu tsiliitsa khusamasamila mu minaara chiako,
khandi vivwe mu tsinzu tsiu vwami tsindahi.
Matukhu ka Babilonia kamali khutukha,
khandi matukhu kandi kaliitsa khuvula khumeetwakhu.”
