IZAGA 21 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Ihliziyo yekosi isesandleni sakaSomnini,

uyinqophisa njengomsele wamanzi,

ayise nanyana kukuphi lapha athanda khona.

2Zoke iindlela zomuntu zibonakala zizihle kuye,

kodwana uSomnini uhlola ihliziyo.

3Ukwenza okuhle nokulungileko,

kwamukeleke khulu kuSomnini ukudlula imihlabelo.

4Amehlo aziphakamisako nehliziyo ezigqajako

kusisono esisibani seenkhohlakali!

5Amaqhinga wokhutheleko aletha inzuzo,

kodwana woke opharhazelako uletha ukuswela.

6Umnono ofunyanwa ngelimu elinamanga,

umrhwamuko onyelelako;

abanjalo bazumana nokufa.

7Inturhu yabakhohlakeleko iyabarhurhula,

ngombana bala ukwenza okulungileko.

8Indlela yonomlandu imagwegwe,

kodwana omsulwa unezenzo ezilungileko.

9Kungcono ukuhlala ejikeni phezu kwephahla

kunokuhlalisana nomfazi onenturhu.

10Umphimbo wokhohlakeleko ukhanukela ubumbi,

umuntu wekhabo akafumani umusa kuye.

11Lokha isinyefuli nasihlawuliswako

onganalwazi uzuza ukuhlakanipha;

lokha umuntu ohlakaniphileko nayalwako

uzuza ilwazi.

12USokulunga uyelela ikumba yokhohlakeleko;

ahlakazele iinkhohlakali ehlekeleleni.

13Ovala indlebakhe lokha nezwa ukulila kwesichaka,

naye uzakulila kodwana angaphendulwa.

14Isipho sangemsitheleni sidambisa itukuthelo,

nokufunjathiswa okufihlwe ngesambatho

kwehlisa ngitjho nelaka elikhulu.

15Ukwenziwa kobulungiswa

kulethela olungileko itokozo;

kodwana kabaziingilamkhuba kuletha ukubhujiswa.

16Umuntu odurha endleleni yokwazi

uphumula hlangana nomkhambathi wabafileko.

17Othanda ukuzithabisa uzakuswela,

iye, othanda iwayini namafutha uzakuchaka.

18Okhohlakeleko utlhaga esikhundleni solungileko,

nongakathembeki esikhundleni soqotho.

19Kungcono ukuhlala erhalawumbeni,

kunokuhlala nomfazi onenturhu

nobanga isizi.

20Emzini wohlakaniphileko kunamagugu akhethekileko namafutha,

kodwana isidlhadlha sona sirhiribidela koke lokho.

21Orhuluphela ukulunga kanye nokwethembeka

uzuza ipilo, okuhle nedumo.

22Ohlakaniphileko usahlela idorobho leenrhonga,

agirize isiphephelo ezithembele kiso.

23Owelusa umlomakhe nelimu lakhe

ulonda ipilwakhe ehlekeleleni.

24Osideleli nozitjhayako ubizwa bona “sinyefuli”

ngombana uziphatha ngokuziphakamisa okukhulu.

25Isifiso sevila sizakuba kukufa kwaso

ngombana izandla zaso azifuni ukusebenza.

26Selihlala lineemfiso ezingapheliko ilanga loke,

kodwana olungileko unikela ngokungababaleli.

27Umhlabelo weenkhohlakali usinyenyiso,

kangangani-ke nawulethwa ngehloso embi!

28Ufakazi wamanga uzakubhubha,

kodwana ofakaza ngakuzwileko akazukuthuliswa.

29Okhohlakeleko uqinisa ubuso,

kodwana oqotho uqinisa iindlela zakhe.

30Akunakuhlakanipha, ukuzwisisa neseluleko

okuzakuphumelela ukujamelana noSomnini.

31Injomani ilungiselelwa ilanga lepi,

kodwana ukuhlula kungekwakaSomnini.
