ISILILO 3 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Ukuncenga uZimu

1Ngimumuntu owazi ubuhlungu

beswazi letukuthelo kaSomnini.

2Ungiqotjhile bewangikhambisa

ebumnyameni obunganamkhanyo.

3Ngambala, isandla sakhe singiphendukele

kanenginengi, imini yoke.

4Ukhehlise isikhumba nenyamami,

wafahlaza amathambami.

5Ungivimbezele ngeenqabo,

wangizombeleza ngobuthi nangobudisi.

6Ungihlalise eendaweni ezimnyama

njengalabo abafa kade.

7Ungibiyele ngeboda ukuze ngingabaleki;

wenza amakhamandelami aba budisi.

8Ngitjho nanyana ngirhuwelela ngifuna isizo,

uvalela umthandazwami ngaphandle.

9Uqabe iindlela zami ngamatje abaziweko,

wasonganisa imizilami.

10Ulibhere elinanabelako,

iye, ibhubezi elibadaleleko.

11Uvale iindlela zami, wangidabula;

wangenza ihlekelele.

12Wacupha umsebakhe,

wangenza isinenjwa semisubelakhe.

13Wahlaba indenami

ngemisubela engemgodlenakhe.

14Ngaba sihlekiso sabo boke abantu bekhethu,

iye, ingomabo yesiphoqo imini yoke.

15Wangifunza umhlonyani

wangiseza isibharha.

16Wenza amazinywami aququda igagadu,

wangibhudabhuda emlotheni.

17Umphefumulwami awunakuthula

nokuhle angisakwazi.

18Yeke ngathi: “Idumo lami liphelile;

iye, ebengilirhuluphele kuSomnini.”

19Somnini, khumbula isizi nokuzula kwami,

iye, isibharha nobuthi.

20Umphefumulwami uhlala ukukhumbula lokhu

nommoyami uphasi.

21Kodwana nakhu engizakubeka engqondweni

ngalokho nginerhuluphelo:

22Kungebanga lokwethembeka kwakaSomnini kobana singabhujiswa,

iye, kungenca yesirhawu sakhe esingapheliko.

23Siba sitjha njalo ekuseni;

mbala, bukhulu ubuqotho bakhe.

24Umphefumulwami uthi:

“USomnini usisabelo sami,

yeke ngizakurhuluphela kuye.”

25USomnini ulungile

kilabo abathembela kuye,

iye, kiloyo omfunako.

26Ulungile uSomnini,

nje-ke, rhuluphela ngokuthula isindiswakhe.

27Iye, ulungile emuntwini

lokha nathwala ijogi asesemutjha.

28Akahlale yedwa athule,

ngombana uSomnini umthwese lona.

29Akawe ngobuso phasi,

mhlamunye kunethemba lapho.

30Akanikele umhlathakhe kiloyo omwakalako,

abe anele ngehlazo.

31Ngambala, uSomandla

akalahleli safuthi.

32Nanyana ahlunguphaza, uzakuba nesirhawu

ukuya ngokwethembeka kwakhe okukhulu

33ngombana akuveli ehliziywenakhe ukugandelela

nokuhlunguphaza abantu.

34Abantu bathi: “Isitha sigadangele ngaphasi kweenyawo zaso

zoke iimbotjhwa zenarha.

35Siphambanisa amalungelo wobuntu

ngaphambi kongoPhezulu;

36simdlelezela ilungelo lomthetho.

Kodwana uSomandla akakuboni lokho.”

37Ngubani oyale ukwenzeka kwehlekelele?

Lokho azange kuvele emlonyeni kaSomandla.

38Emlonyeni wongoPhezulu akuveli okumbi,

kodwana okuhle kodwa.

39Kubayini umuntu ophilako anghonghoyila

ngomphumela wezono zakhe na?

40Asihloleni iindlela zethu sizizizinye,

sibuyeleni kuSomnini.

41Asiphakamiseleni iinhliziyo nezandla zethu

kuZimu osezulwini, sithi:

42“Ngithi esiphambukileko besahlubuka

begodu wena azange ukhohlwe.

43“Uzembese ngetukuthelo bewasigijmisa,

warhayila ngaphandle kwesirhawu.

44Uzembese ngelifu

kobana ungafikelelwa mthandazo.

45Usenze amanyela neenzibi

hlangana nezizwe.

46“Zoke izitha zethu zikhulume khulu ngathi.

47Isabelo sethu kukwesaba nethunzi elimnyama,

ukubhujiswa nokutjhabalaliswa.”

48Amehlwami awuluka imilanjana yamanzi

ngebanga lokuphodlheka kwabantu bami.

49Amehlwami azakugeleza mlibe,

iye, angaqedi

50kufikela lapha uSomnini aqala khona phasi,

abone asezulwini.

51Engikubonako kungilethela isizi

ngebanga lawo woke amadodakazi

wedorobho lekhethu.

52Izitha zami zangizuma njengenyoni,

ngaphandle kwesizathu.

53Zaqeda ipilwami ngemthathamanzini:

Zangiphosa ngamatje;

54amanzi angigubuzesa,

ngadlumbana bona kuphelile ngami!

55Ngabiza ibizo lakho wena Somnini,

ngisekuzikeni komphathamanzi;

56wezwa isililo sami lokha nangithi:

“Ungavali indlebakho

ngokurhitjhwa kwami

nalokha ngifuna isizo.”

57Nangikubizako begade useduze nami,

wathi kimi: “Ungesabi.”

58Somandla, wajamela indabami

lokha umphefumulwami usengozini,

wahlenga ipilwami.

59Somnini, ubonile ukugandelelwa kwami,

nje-ke, jamela indabami!

60Ubonile koke ukuzibuyiselela kwabo,

woke amano abanawo ngami.

61Somnini, uzizwile iinhlamba zabo,

woke amano wabo ngami,

62ukuhlebeza nokuphoqa kwabajamelani bami

imini yoke.

63Yelela koke abakwenzako;

sengiyingomabo yesiphoqo.

64Bavuze njengokubafaneleko, Somnini,

ngokuya ngemisebenzi yezandla zabo.

65Banikele ihliziyo enesizi,

amanikelelakho abe phezu kwabo!

66Bagijimise ngetukuthelo, ubabhubhise

ngaphasi kwamazulwakho, Somnini.
