IZAGA 15 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Ipendulo ethobekileko idambisa itukuthelo,

kodwana ilizwi elihlabako livusa ilaka.

2Ilimu labahlakaniphileko liphakamisa ilwazi,

kodwana umlomo weendlhadlha

uphuphuma ubudlhadlha.

3Amehlo kaSomnini akoke,

aqaphele abakhohlakeleko nabalungileko.

4Ilimu elithambileko limumuthi wokuphila,

kodwana elinobuqili liqoba umphefumulo.

5Isidlhadlha sidelela ukusolwa nguyise,

kodwana olalela ukukhalinywa uvuthiwe.

6Umuzi wolungileko unomnono omkhulu,

kodwana inzuzo yokhohlakeleko ilibibi.

7Iimbhena zabahlakaniphileko zifafaza ilwazi,

kodwana akusinjalo ngengqondo yeendlhadlha.

8Umhlabelo weenkhohlakali usinyenyiso kuSomnini,

kodwana uthokoziswa mthandazo wabaqotho.

9Indlela yokhohlakeleko isinyenyiso kuSomnini

kodwana uthanda orhuluphela ukulunga.

10Ukuyelelisa okuqinileko

kubekelwe otjhiya indlela elungileko;

ozonda ukukhalinywa uzokufa.

11Indawo yabafileko nendawo yokubhujiswa

zisemtarini phambi kwakaSomnini;

kangangani-ke imizindlo yomuntu!

12Isinyefuli asithandi ukukhalinywa;

yeke asiyi kabahlakaniphileko.

13Ihliziyo enamileko yenza ubuso busuleke;

iinkathazo zehliziyo ziqoba umphefumulo.

14Ihliziyo ehlolisisako ifuna ilwazi,

kodwana umlomo weendlhadlha uphila ngobudlhadlha.

15Woke amalanga wesichaka mambi,

kodwana odlhudlhekako uzizwela umgidi njalo.

16Kungcono ukuba nokuncani,

khibe nokho wesaba uSomnini,

kunokobana ube nomnono omnengi,

kodwana uneenkathazo.

17Singcono isabelo semirorho

lapha kunethando khona,

kunesekunzana enonisiweko,

khibe kunezondo.

18Umuntu onehliziywana uvusa ukucabana,

kodwana obuthaka ekusilingekeni urhobhisa ukulwa.

19Indlela yevila ifana nomqoqo wameva,

kodwana umzila wabaqotho ulelezekile.

20Umntwana ohlakaniphileko ulethela uyise itokozo,

kodwana osidlhadlha unyaza unina.

21Onganangqondo ukarwa budlhadlha,

kodwana onengqondo ukhamba ngokunqomba.

22Lapha kunganakubonisana khona,

amaqhinga ayatjhabalala;

kodwana ngabeluleki abanengi ayaphumelela.

23Umuntu ufumana itokozo lokha naphendule kuhle.

Maye lihle kangangani ilizwi elifike ngesikhathi!

24Indlela yokuphila irholela ekuphakameni,

ukuze umuntu adede endaweni ephasi yabafileko.

25USomnini ubhuruza ikumba yabazitjhayako,

kodwana uqinisa imikhawulo yomhlolokazi.

26Amaqhinga wokukhohlakala asinyenyiso kuSomnini,

kodwana amezwi amahle ahlambulukile kuye.

27Omarhamaru uletha imiraro emzinakhe,

kodwana ozonda ukufunjathiswa uzakuphila.

28Ihliziyo yolungileko ihlolisisa iimpendulo zayo,

kodwana umlomo wabakhohlakeleko uphafuza ubumbi.

29USomnini ukude nabakhohlakeleko,

kodwana uphendula umthandazo wabalungileko.

30Ubuso obuthokozileko buthabisa ihliziyo

neendaba ezimnandi zinepilo emathanjeni.

31Umuntu onendlebe elalela ukukhalinywa okunepilo

uzakuba sekhaya hlangana nabahlakaniphileko.

32Odela ukusolwa uzinyaza yena,

kodwana olalela ukukhalinywa uzuza ingqondo.

33Ukwesaba uSomnini

kufundisa umuntu ukuhlakanipha,

nokuzehlisa kulandelwa lidumo.
