IZAGA 29 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Umuntu okhunyalala ngekani ngemva kokusolwa,

uzakutjhabalaliswa msinyana, angabi nentatha.

2Abalungileko nabandako, abantu bayathaba;

kodwana nakubusa isikhohlakali, abantu bayabubula.

3Othanda ukuhlakanipha, ulethela uyise itokozo,

kodwana umngani weengwadla uchitha umnono.

4Ngokulunga ikosi inikela inarha idzimelelo,

kodwana ethanda iimbiko iyayilulaza.

5Umuntu oyenga umakhelwanakhe,

uzibekela isithiyo senede eenyaweni zakhe.

6Kunesithiyo esiphambekweni sesikhohlakali,

kodwana olungileko uyabhina, athokoze.

7Olungileko ukhambisana nokuphathwa kuhle

kwabachakileko,

kodwana okhohlakeleko akanakho ukuyelela okunjalo.

8Iinyefuli ziphehla idorobho,

kodwana abahlakaniphileko barhobhisa ilaka.

9Ohlakaniphileko naya ebandla nesidlhadlha,

siyadlharuma, senze amahlaya,

kungabi nokuthula.

10Abanukelwa ziingazi bazonda omsulwa,

kodwana abaqotho bahlenga ipilwakhe.

11Isidlhadlha sigugeka khulu ngemizwaso,

kodwana ohlakaniphileko uyasidambisa.

12Lokha umbusi nalalela amanga,

zoke iinkhulu zakhe ziba ziinkhohlakali.

13Isichaka nombolekisi bafana ngalokhu:

USomnini ubaphe amehlo wokubona bobabili.

14Ikosi egweba abachakileko ngeqiniso,

isihlalo sayo sobukhosi sizakunzinziswa isikhathi soke.

15Iswazi nokukhalima kupha ukuhlakanipha,

kodwana umntwana ozilawulako uhlazisa unina.

16Iinkhohlakali nazandako nesiphambeko siyanda,

kodwana zizakuwa, abalungileko babukele.

17Khalima umntwanakho, uzakunikela ukuthula

iye, uzakuletha ithabo ehliziywenakho.

18Lapha kunganambono khona,

abantu abalawuleki,

kodwana ubusisiwe ogcina umthetho.

19Inceku ayikhalinywa ngamezwi nje kwaphela,

nanyana izwisisa, angeze yalalela.

20Ukhe wambona umuntu okhuluma angacabangi na?

Kunethemba elikhulu ngesidlhadlha kunaye.

21Umuntu natotosa inceku ebutjheni bayo,

ekugcineni izakuragalala.

22Umuntu othukutheleko uvusa ukucabana,

nosififana ubanga iimphambeko ezinengi.

23Ukuziphakamisa komuntu kuyamehlisa,

kodwana onommoya ophasi uzuza idumo.

24Ohlanganyela nesela uzonda ipilwakhe:

Uzwa abaphathi bakhuluma amanikelela,

kodwana akanikeli ngelwazi.

25Ukwesaba umuntu kusisifu,

kodwana othembela kuSomnini uyaphepha.

26Abanengi bafuna umusa wombusi,

kodwana ukulunga kufunyaneka kuSomnini kwaphela.

27Abangakathembeki basinyenyiso kabalungileko;

abaqotho basinyenyiso kabakhohlakeleko.
