19 Ga tla dikgosi, tsa tlhabana;

26 A isa letsogo kwa lomapong,

‘Ke eng fa koloi ya gagwe

Ke eng fa medumo

29 Ba ba botlhale ba bahumagadi

30 ‘Kooteng ba bonye thopo,
ba e abelana gore
monna mongwe le mongwe

thopo ya diaparo tse di
marabata tsa ga Sisera;
thopo ya diaparo
tse di marabata,
lesela le le marabata,
masela a a marabata

ke thopo ya molala wa me.’
31 A baba botlhe ba gago,

Mme ba ba go ratang
