URHABAKHUKHU 1 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

1Isimemezelo sakaZimu esambulelwa uRhabakhukhu umphorofidi.

Umphorofidi unghonghoyila ngomguruguru

2Kunini ngibiza, Somnini, ngifunana nesizo,

kodwana soloko awuphenduli?

Ngakurhuwelela ngathi, “Umguruguru!”

kodwana kubayini ungasindisi?

3Kubayini ungibonisa ukungalungi,

ubekezelela ubumbi?

Ukurhayila nomguruguru kuphambi kwami,

kwande ukunghunanghunana nerawurawu.

4Yeke umthetho uyabogaboga,

ukugweba ngeqiniso akusekho.

Iinkhohlakali ziqaqada phezu kwabalungileko,

nje-ke kuhlanakelwa iingwebo.

USomnini uyaphendula

5“Qalani izizwe,

nizitjhejisise nikakamale benikhungatheke

ngombana kunento engizayenza emihleni yenu;

eningazukuyikholwa nanyana sele niyitjelwa.

6Iye, ngizakuvusa amaBhabheli,

abantu abamarhamaru nabanganasisa,

abatjharhatha iphasi loke,

bakhambe bahluthula izindlu okungasi ngezabo.

7Bababantu abasatjwako nabatatazelelwako

nomthetho usezandleni zabo,

bazidumisa bona ngokwabo.

8Iinjomani zabo zigijima ukudlula izingwe,

zidlhaduma ukudlula iimpisi ebusuku.

Abakhweli bakhona beza bafuthekile;

abakhweli bakhona bavela kude.

Batheleka njengedlanga nalibhudungela ukudla kwalo;

9boke beze ngokurhayila.

Amabutho wakhona atheleka njengommoya werhalawumbeni;

abuthelela iimbotjhwa njengetjhwabatjhwaba.

10Banyaza amakhosi,

bahlekisa ngababusi.

Bahleka woke amadorobho anemithangala;

badindela ihlabathi emithangaleni yakhona;

bawasahlele bawathumbe.

11Bese barhurhula badlulele phambili njengommoya;

abantwaba benza amandlabo uzimabo.”

Umphorofidi unghonghoyila ngobukhohlakali

12AwusinguSomnini kusukela nini nanini na?

AwusinguZimu wesivumelwano,

oCwengileko nophila nini nanini na?

Somnini, ukhethe amaBhabheli bona agwebe,

Dwala, ubazese bona bahlunguphaze.

13Amehlwakho acwenge khulu kobana angaqalana

nobukhohlakali;

angeze wabekezelela ubumbi.

Alo-ke kubayini ubekezelela

izephulamthethwezi na?

Uthuleleni ubona iinkhohlakali

zirhiribidela abalunge khulu kinazo?

14Wenze umuntu waba njengehlambi,

waba njengeenrhurhubi zelwandle

zona ezinganambusi.

15AmaBhabheli la, abamba abantu boke;

abadose ngeenkghopholahlambi,

abagolela ngenedenawo,

abarhurhulela ngesirhurhulanedeni sawo.

Ngebangelo ayathokoza ajabule.

16Enzela isirhurhulanede sawo umhlatjelo,

atjhisela nesirhobelanede sawo itjhwalo.

Yeke, ngeenede zawezo abetha esimonyongwana,

agoma iinkhanakhana zokudla.

17Azakusolo athulula iinede zawo,

arhayile izizwe ngesihlungu na?
