UNARHUME 3 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

INiniva izakubethwa ngeentonga zalo

1Lizazizwa idorobho leengazi,

lizele ngamala;

lizele ngobumarhamaru,

alitlhogi elikuthumbileko!

2Lenza lokhu ngokuthuthumbisa iimbebhu,

kutswiririze amavili;

ligijimise iinjomani,

kukhehlezele iinkoloyana!

3Abakhweli beenjomani bahlabela phambili,

kumanyazela iinsabula,

kumekeza imikhonto!

Latjhiya iinkubela ezinengi,

kwaba sidumbu phezu kwesidumbu –

zaba zinengi zarareja umuntu.

4Koke lokhu kungebanga lobungwadla

bengwadla,

enejamo elilulubezako,

umtjhotjhozeli wobuloyi,

okhaphela izizwe ukuze azuze,

akhaphele abantu ngobuloyi bakhe.

5USomnini uMninimandlawoke uthi:

“Ngijamelene nawe poro.

Ngizakubhenula iinthimba zakho,

izizwe zoke zikubonele;

nemibuso ibone ukurhubutjheka kwakho.

6Ngizakujikijela ngamanyala, ngikunyazise,

ngenze ngawe isibonelo.

7Boke abakubonako bazakubaleka bathi:

‘INiniva igirikile!

Akunamuntu ozayililela,

kungabikho noyedwa oyiduduzako.’ ”

8Kghani ungcono kuneThebhesi,

esemlanjeni iNayili,

ezombelezwe mamanzi?

Umlambo begade kusiviko sayo,

amanzi aliboda lakhona.

9IKutjhe bekusidindi sayo,

neGibhide ngobunengi bayo.

iPhuthi neLibhiya kusidzimelelo sayo.

10Ngitjho neThebhesi beyibekelwe

bonyana idingiswe,

isiwe ekuthunjweni.

Ngitjho namasanayo aphihlizelwa

emasangweni wazo zoke iindlela.

Iinkhulu zakhona zenzelwa ifumbe,

kwathi boke abarholi bakhona

babotjhwa ngeenketani.

11Nawe-ke Niniva

uzakurhamula ikapho yomhlonyani;

uzakubaleka uyokubhaca

bese ubawa ukukhoseliswa

zizitha zakho.

12Woke amarholwakho afana

nemithi yamakhiwani;

amajonakho anjengamakhiwani avuthweko:

lokha imithi nayisikinywako,

amakhiwani awela emlonyeni wogomako.

13Khusuthi uyaqala amajonakho:

Woke bafazi!

Amasango wesifunda sakho

avuleke petle,

avulekele izitha zakho;

umlilo utjhise thokgho

iinqabo zamasangwakho.

14Yikha amanzi ngombana uragelelwe,

uqinise amarholwakho!

Khamba uye edongeni

ubhice idaka wenze iintina!

15Umlilo uzakutjhisela khonapho

nesabula izakukghedlha;

ikuqothule njengokuqothula kwesikhonyani

esimini.

16Ungezelele isibalo sabarhwebi bakho

bebadlula iinkwekwezi zesibhakabhaka.

Kodwana bazakwenza seentethe:

badle bazikhambele.

17Nabalindi bakho bafana nesikhonyani,

iinkhulu zakho zifana newoma leentethe,

ezikakarela emabodeni nakumakhaza.

Kuthi nakuhlaba ilanga zitlharuluke ziphaphe,

ziye lapha kungazi muntu khona.

18Maye, kosi ye-Asiriya!

Abarholi bakho bafile buthongo;

amabuthwakho akhethekileko arabhalele.

Amajonakho arhatjheke neentaba,

atlhoge nomuntu ongawabuthelela.

19Akunamuntu ongelapha amancebakho;

awuzukusinda ngeduma lakho.

Woke umuntu ozwa iindaba zakho,

uwahla izandla ngokuwa kwakho.

Ngombana akunamuntu ongazange khewumhlunguphaze;

ngobukhohlakali bakho obungapheliko.
