For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, "Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers."
Ngokuba ndive ilizwi elinjengelomfazi onenimba, imbandezelo enjengeyozibulayo, izwi lentombi enguZiyon; inesingqala, izolula izandla zayo, isithi, Athi ke mna! ngokuba umphefumlo wam utyhafile ngababulali.
