UMTJHUMAYELI 12 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Khumbula umdali wakho

emalangeni wobutjha bakho,

kungakafiki imihla emimbi

nokutjhidela kweminyaka ozakutjho ngayo uthi,

“Anginakwenama ngayo.”

2Iye, ngaphambi kobana ilanga nomkhanyo,

inyezi neenkwekwezi kube mnyama,

namafu asabuthile ngemva kwezulu,

3mhla abaqaphi bekumba bathuthumelako,

neendlakela zithoma ukukhokhoba,

nabagayikazi bangasagayi ngebanga lokuba mbalwa,

nabahlola ngamafesidere sele bafiphele.

4Iye, mhlana iminyango ngaphandle ivaliwe,

kunciphe netjhada lokugaya,

lokha iphimbo seliphakama njengelenyoni,

kodwana ukuzwakala kwalo sekuphasi;

5lokha umuntu angakesabi iindawo eziphakamileko

nalokha kunezinto ezethusako endleleni;

iye, lokha nakuthuthumba umuthi we-alimondi

nentethe sele irhurhuba

nomvusakunzi ungasasebenzi.

Ngambala, umuntu uya endawenakhe yanini nanini

nabalilako behla benyuka endleleni.

6Iye, mkhumbule umdali wakho

kungakaqhusuki intambo yesiliva,

ithunga legolide lingakaphahlaki,

umjeka ungakaphadlheki emthonjeni

nevili lingakaphukeli ngepetsini,

7ithuli lingakabuyeli equlwanini

njengombana lalinjalo

nomphefumulo wokuphila ungakabuyeli kuZimu

owawunikelako.

8Kulilize lakolize!

Iye, uMtjhumayeli uthi:

“Yoke into ililize!”

Isiphetho sendaba

9Isengezo:

UMtjhumayeli gade angakahlakaniphi kwaphela,

kodwana gade afundisa nabantu ilwazi.

Walinganisa izinto wahlolisisa

bewahlela kuhle izaga ezinengi.

10UMtjhumayeli wafunisisa

kobana afumane amezwi afaneleko

nokutlola amezwi weqiniso ngobuqotho.

11Amezwi wohlakaniphileko anjengesitlhorholojakomo

nezinto eziqakathekileko,

zinjengeenkhonkhwani ezimanyene nesitlhorholojakomo.

Lokho kuvela kumelusi munye.

12Isengezo esinye:

Ndodanami, yewuyelele!

Ukwenza iincwadi ezinengi akunasiphetho

begodu ukufunda khulu kukhathaza umzimba.

13Ekugcineni, koke okuzwakeleko kufanele kunakekelwe:

Yesaba uZimu ulonde imiyalwakhe;

lokho kungokomuntu woke

14ngombana uZimu uzokugweba yoke imisebenzi,

ngitjho nakho koke okufihlakeleko,

nanyana kukuhle, nanyana kukumbi.
