UJOBHO 28 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Ingoma yokudunyiswa kokuhlakanipha

1Ngambala kunomgodi wesiliva

nendawo lapha kuhlungwa khona igolide.

2Isimbi ikhutjhwa equlwanini ephadlhiweko,

ikoporo incibilikiswa elitjeni lakhona.

3Umuntu uyabuphelisa ubumnyama,

abhenyegule abe ayokufika emaphethelweni,

afunisise elitjeni lapha kufifiyela khona,

ngitjho nalapha kunzima tshu.

4Ulembeleliselwa ngemgodini ngomutja,

aqeqebule umkghotha edwaleni,

iinyawo zisemmoyeni;

ulengela emgodini, kude nabantu.

5Umhlaba okuvela kiwo ukudla,

ngaphasi uphendulelwa ngomlilo

6edwaleni lawo kuvela amatje wesafaya

nethuli lakhona linegolide.

7Indlela eya emikghotheni leyo

ayaziwa madlanga,

namakhozi akayiboni.

8Iinkhakhabi azingeni emikghothwenapho

nebhubezi alitjhideli lapho.

9Umuntu ubeka isandla sakhe elitjeni eliqinileko;

apewule iintaba emirabhinazo.

10Wemba imikghotha edwaleni,

amehlwakhe abone woke amagugu.

11Uvala imithambo yamanzi,

okufihliweko akuveze emkhanyweni.

12Kodwana kufunyanwaphi ukuhlakanipha?

Ilwazi lona lihlala kuphi na?

13Umuntu akazwisisi ukuqakatheka kwalo,

ngombana alifunyanwa emphakathini.

14Ukuzika kuthi: “Akukho kimi.”

Ilwandle nalo lithi: “Akukho kimapha.”

15Akuthengwa ngegolidembala,

namkha kulinganiswe isiliva njengenani lakhona.

16Akukhokhelwa ngegolide le-Ofira,

namkha ngamatje aligugu we-oniksi newesafaya.

17Igolide nerhalasi azilinganiseki nokuhlakanipha,

namkha kwenaniswe ngezitja zegolide.

18Ungalingi ukukhokhele ngekorali nekhristali,

ngombana inani lokuhlakanipha lingaphezu kwamaparele.

19Akulinganiswa nethophazi kaKutjhe,

godu angeze kwathengwa ngitjho nangegolidembala.

20Alo, kubuyaphi-ke ukuhlakanipha?

Ukuzwisisa khona kuhlala kuphi?

21Kufihlakele emehlweni wakho koke okuphilako,

kufihlakele ngitjho neenyonini zomkayi.

22Ukubhujiswa nokufa kuthi:

“Nathi siyakuzwela ukuhlakaniphokho.”

23UZimu nguye owazi indlela eya kikho,

nguye kwaphela owaziko bona kuhlalaphi.

24Iye, yena ubona amaphethelo womhlaba,

abone koke okungaphasi komthunzi welanga.

25Lokha nanikela ummoya amandla,

walinganisa ubukhulu bamanzi,

26lokha nenzela izulu isimiso

namafu anzima indlelawo,

27waqala ukuhlakanipha wakubuka,

wakuhlela bewakuhlolisisa.

28Wathi emuntwini:

“Ukwesaba uSomandla kukuhlakanipha!

Ukutjhida ebumbini kukuzwisisa!”
