UJONA 2 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Umthandazo kaJona

1UJona wathandaza uSomnini uZimakhe angemathunjini wehlambi, wathi:

2“Emahlungwinami ngalilela uSomnini,

yeke wangiphendula.

Phakathi kokufa ngarhuwelela ngifuna isizo,

yeke watjheja isililo sami.

3Wangijikijela emajukujukwini,

phakathi ekuzikeni kwamalwandle;

umsele wangizombeleza,

amagagasi angigubuzesa.

4Ngathi, ‘Ngiqotjhiwe ebusweni bakho,

kodwana ngaqalelela godu ithempela

lakho elicwengileko.’

5Amanzi apheze angikghama,

ukuzika kwangizombeleza,

ikhula lelwandle lararela ihlokwami.

6Ngatjhinga phasi esidindini seentaba,

iphasi langivalela ngaphakathi kwalo ingunaphakade.

Kodwana wena Somnini Zimami,

wakhuphula ipilwami emgodini.

7Lokha ummoyami nawuphelelwa mamandla,

ngakhumbula uSomnini.

Umthandazwami wakhuphukela kuwe,

wafikelela ethempelini lakho elicwengileko.

8Labo abathembela kibosingazimu abanganabubhadekelo,

baphunyurhwa ngoThembekileko kibo.

9Kodwana mina ngizokuletha umhlatjelo kuwe,

ngikubabaze ngesihlabelelo sokudumisa.

Engikufungeleko ngizakuphumelelisa,

isindiso ivela kuSomnini.”

10USomnini walayela ihlambi bonyana ihlanzele uJona ehlabathini eyomileko.
