Yayisidabuka kakhulu inkosi , yakhuphukela ekamelweni elingaphezu kwesango, yakhala; isahamba yathi : Hhawu, ndodana yami Abisalomu , ndodana yami, ndodana yami Abisalomu ! Sengathi nga ngifile esikhundleni sakho, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!

Inkosi yamboza ubuso bayo, inkosi yakhala ngezwi elikhulu, yathi: Hhawu, ndodana yami Abisalomu, Abisalomu, ndodana yami, ndodana yami!

Hhawu, Jehova, ziningi izitha zami. Baningi abangivukelayo.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngoJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: Abayikumkhalela ngokuthi : Hhawu, mfowethu, noma, hhawu, dadewethu! futhi bangamkhaleli ngokuthi : Hhawu, nkosi, noma, hhawu, bukhosi bakhe!
