Ingoma Yezingoma 7 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

1Zinhle kangaka inyawo zakho emanyathelweni,

wena ndodakazi yesikhulu!

Amathangazi akho anjengamatshe amahle,

abazwe yizingcitshi.

2Inkaba yakho injengomganu oyingubhe

ohlala ugcwele iwayini elixutshanisiweyo.

Isisu sakho sinjengesitha samabele esizingelezelwe yimiduze.

3Amabele akho amabili anjengabantwana ababili

abangamaphahla empala.

4Intamo yakho injengomphotshongo owakhiwe ngempondo zendlovu.

Amehlo akho ayiziziba zaseHeshiboni

eziseduze lesango laseBeti‐Rabimi.

Impumulo yakho iyindunduma njengeLebanoni

ekhangelene leDamaseko.

5Ikhanda lakho liphakeme njengentaba yaseKarmeli,

lenwele ezilenga ekhanda lakho ziyacwazimula,

inwele ezinde ezinhle zingahuga inkosi.

6Umuhle wena, uyathandeka kangaka,

sithandwa sami, uyangijabulisa.

7Uphakeme njengesihlahla selala,

lamabele akho anjengelixha lamasempe alo.

8Ngathi: Ngizakhwela esihlahleni selala

ukuze ngikhe izithelo zaso.

Kungathi amabele akho angaba njengamahlukuzo evini,

lephunga lomoya wakho libe njengelomqokolo,

9lomlomo wakho ube njengewayini elihle.

Lihle kusithandwa sami, litshelela ezindebeni lasemazinyweni.

10Mina ngingowesithandwa sami, sona siyangifisa kakhulu.

11Woza wena sithandwa sami,

asiye egangeni silale ezixukwini;

12sihambe ekuseni siye ezivinini,

sibone ukuba amavini asehluma, ekhupha impoko,

lokuba amapomegranati asekhahlele yini.

Lapho ngizakukunika uthando lwami.

13Izithelo zamandrake zilephunga elimnandi,

ngaphezu kweminyango yethu kukhona zonke inhlobo zezithelo ezinhle ezintsha lezindala,

engizibekele wena sithandwa sami.
