Ngokuvamile,
Ithangi lamanzi lendlu yangasese eshaywayo lizoba nezakhiwo ezinjengalezi:
Ibhola lokuntanta, ipayipi lokungena, ipayipi lokudonsa amanzi,
Ipayipi le-seepage, ipulaki lamanzi, inkinobho yokushaywa umoya.
Bakha isakhiwo sokudonsa amanzi sendlu yangasese,
Yakha isenzo sokuhlanza.
Uma isilungele, cindezela inkinobho yokushaya ucingo,
Ngalesi sikhathi, i-knob yokukhulula amanzi izophendulwa futhi amanzi azokhululwa,
Ngemuva kokudedelwa ngezinga elithile, ipulaki lamanzi lizowa futhi livimbe indawo yokuphuma,
Yeka ukukhulula amanzi, futhi i-float nayo izokwehla ngokuncipha kwezinga lamanzi.
Ngemuva kokuthi ukugcwaliswa kwamanzi sekuqediwe,
Ukuntanta kwethangi lamanzi nakho kuzokhuphuka,
Ungaqhubeka nenqubo yokukhipha amanzi futhi.
Kungani izihlalo zangasese zinezinkinobho ezimbili?
Eqinisweni, lezi zinkinobho ezimbili,
Izinkinobho ezamanzi ayingxenye kanye nokukhipha amanzi agcwele, ngokulandelana,
Ngokuvamile, izinkinobho ezimbili ziba nosayizi abahlukene,
Inkinobho encane isho ukuthi isesimweni samanzi,
Ukuyicindezela ngeke kuqede amanzi ethangini ngesikhathi esisodwa,
Kodwa kuphela ingxenye noma ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu.
Futhi inkinobho enkulu iyinkinobho yamanzi egcwele,
Uma icindezelwa,
Ngokuvamile, amanzi ethangini akhishwa wonke kanyekanye.
Futhi eminye imiklamo yezindlu zangasese yile,
Izinkinobho ezimbili zingacindezelwa kanyekanye,
Ukucindezela ngesikhathi esisodwa kusho ukugeza wonke amanzi, ngamandla amakhulu ehhashi kanye nomthamo wamanzi owengeziwe.
