IZAGA 17 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Kungcono ukudobhelela iintshutshuru,

ube nokuthula,

kunekumba ezele idili,

kodwana khibe kunenturhu.

2Inceku ehlakaniphileko izakubusa

phezu kwendodana enganasimilo,

ihlanganyele ilifa njengomunye wabafo.

3Isincibilikiseli senzelwa isiliva

nekehla yomlilo ingeyegolide;

umhloli weenhliziyo nguSomnini.

4Owenza okumbi ulalela iimbhena ezonakeleko,

umleyimanga uyelela ilimu elilimazako.

5Ohlekisa ngesichaka unyaza umenzaso,

nohleka ihlekelele uzakuhlunguphazwa.

6Iinzukulwana zisihlohlo ebantwini abadala,

nababelethi baligugu ebantwaneni babo.

7Ikulumo ehle ayisifaneli isidlhadlha,

kangangani-ke emamanga emlonyeni wesikhulu.

8Isifumbathiso sifana nelitje lomlingo

emehlweni wosiphetheko,

ucabanga bona uyaphumelela

kikho koke akwenzako.

9Ositha isiphambeko ukhuthaza ithando;

ovumbulula isikhubekiso wahlukanisa abangani.

10Ukukhalima kuyazika konengqondo,

ukudlula imivuvu elikhulu phezu kwesidlhadlha.

11Omumbi nabanga ukuhlubuka,

uzakunikelelwa ngesithunywa esinelunya.

12Kungcono ukuqalana nonomrhaso othathelwe abantwana,

kunokuqalana nesidlhadlha esiduda ebudlhayeleni baso.

13Nakube umuntu ubuyisela okuhle ngokumbi,

ubumbi abusoze baphuma emzinakhe.

14Ukuthoma inturhu, kufana nokubhoboza amanzi,

yeke, lisa indaba ngaphambi kobana kuthome ukulwa.

15Omela isikhohlakali bona simsulwa

nolahla olungileko bona usikhohlakali,

bobabili njalo basinyenyiso kuSomnini.

16Buyini ububhadekelo bemali nayisesandleni sesidlhadlha na?

Ingaba kuthenga ukuhlakanipha khibe asinangqondo?

17Umngani uhlala athembekile,

iye, ungumfo obelethelwe iinkhathi ezibudisi.

18Umuntu ogijimela ukuzibopha,

abe sibambiso somunye, akanangqondo.

19Othanda isiphambeko, uthanda ukucabana;

onomlomo omkhulu uzibizela ihlekelele.

20Onehliziyo eyonakeleko akaphumeleli,

nonelimu elikhohlisako uwela engozini.

21Obeletha isidlhadlha usesizini,

akunathabo kumbelethi wesidlhadlha.

22Ihliziyo enamileko iyintatha ehle,

kodwana umphefumulo oqobekileko womisa amathambo.

23Isikhohlakali sizithathela isifumbathiso ngencilini

ukuphambanisa iindlela zomthetho.

24Onengqondo ubeka ukuhlakanipha phambi kwakhe,

kodwana amehlo wesidlhadlha asepelazwe.

25Umntwana osidlhadlha ulisizi kuyise

nobumunyu kombelethileko.

26Akusikuhle ukuhlawulisa umuntu omsulwa

namkha ukubetha iinkhulu ngokungakafaneli.

27Owazi ilwazi ulonda amezwakhe

nonommoya ophasi umumuntu ozwisisako.

28Ngitjho nesidlhadlha

sithathwa inga sihlakaniphile nasizithuleleko,

kuthiwe sinengqondo nasivale umlomo.
