“Tara, omipupo mavi sekama komukuma wokeyuva kokunene,

Ovyo mavi rimbara kombanda yehi navi vandeke

Ovandu mave ku ombatero; nu ngamwa

Ooihe kave nokurikenda novanatje vawo;

4 Oruveze rwokunyona ehi ra Filistie rweya,
indwi oruveze rwokutjaera ombatero osenina
ndja tja i ya kOtirus na kOsidon.
Tjiri, ami, ngu mbi ri Muhona, me yandeke Ovafilisti,
imba avehe mba za komikuro vyokuvare kwa Krete.
5 Pe nondjenda onene kotjiwaṋa tja Gasa,
nomamwinino kovature va Askelon.
Ovafilisti mba sewa po mave kara noruhoze nga ruṋe?
6 Ove mo ravaere nai: ‘Ngaruvyo ra Muhona!
Mo kara nokuhinorusuwo nga ruṋe?
Twende kotjihweka tjoye,

7 Nungwari oro mari hirimana vi ngunda
amba yandja oviungura ku ro okuungura?
Ami mbe ri rakiza kutja ri rwise Askelon,
novandu mba tura meṋe yokuvare.”
