Ingoma 5 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Umyeni

1Sengingenile esivandeni sami, dadewethu, mlobokazi wami;

sengiyibuthile imure yami lesiyoliso sami.

Sengizidlile inhlanga zami loluju lwami;

sengiyinathile iwayini yami lochago lwami.

Abangane

Dlanini, bangane, linathe;

nathani lizidele, lina zithandani.

Umlobokazi

2Ngalala kodwa inhliziyo yami ivukile.

Zwana! Isithandwa sami siyaqoqoda:

“Ngivulela, dadewethu, sithandwa sami,

juba lami, wena ongelasiyinga.

Ikhanda lami ligcwele amazolo,

inwele zami zilobumanzi bobusuku.”

3Sengisikhulule isigqoko sami

ngisigqoke futhi na?

Sengizigezile inyawo zami

ngibuye ngizingcolise futhi na?

4Isithandwa sami sangenisa isandla saso embotsheni yomnyango;

inhliziyo yami yagubhazela ifuna sona.

5Ngavuka ngayasivulela isithandwa sami,

izandla zami zijuluka imure,

iminwe yami igeleza imure,

phezu kwezibambo zekhiye.

6Ngasivulela isithandwa sami,

kodwa isithandwa sami sasesisukile, sasesihambile.

Inhliziyo yami yadangala ngoba sesihambile.

Ngasithalaza kodwa ngasiswela.

Ngasimemeza kodwa kasisabelanga.

7Abalindi bangibona

ngesikhathi bebhodabhoda, behlola idolobho.

Bangitshaya bangilimaza;

bangihlubula bathatha ibhatshi lami,

labobalindi bemiduli!

8Lina madodakazi aseJerusalema, ngiyaliqonqosela

nxa lisithola isithandwa sami lizasitshelani?

Sitsheleni ukuthi mina sengiyathiswa luthando.

Abangane

9Isithandwa sakho singcono ngani kulezinye izithandwa

wena omuhle okudlula bonke abesifazane?

Singcono ngani isithandwa sakho kulezinye

osungaze usiqonqosele kangaka?

Umlobokazi

10Isithandwa sami siyakhazimula sincwaba,

siyabonakala laphakathi kwezinkulungwane ezilitshumi.

11Ikhanda laso liligolide elicengwe kakhulu;

inwele zaso ziyibulembu,

zimnyama okwewabayi.

12Amehlo aso anjengamajuba

esezifuleni ezilamanzi,

agezwe ngochago,

amiswa njengamatshe engcebo.

13Izihlathi zaso zinjengendima yeziyoliso

ezilephunga lamakha.

Izindebe zaso zinjengezimbali,

ziconsa imure.

14Izingalo zaso yimiqwayi yegolide

elixutshwe ngekhrisolithe.

Umzimba waso unjengophondo lwendlovu olulolongiweyo

lwaceciswa ngamasafire.

15Imilenze yaso yizinsika zelitshe

eliqinileyo elibutshelezi

elimiswe ezisekelweni zegolide elicengekileyo.

Isithombo saso sinjengeLebhanoni,

njengemisedari yakhona eyebanga laphezulu.

16Umlomo waso uyibumnandi qobo lwabo;

siyabukeka ngokupheleleyo.

Lesi yiso isithandwa sami, yena umngane wami,

we madodakazi aseJerusalema.
