Iingxaki zobomi zinzima kuYobhi

1Akakho na ixesha emntwini ehlabathini? Ayinjengemihla yomntu ohlambulukileyo na imihla yakhe?

2Njengomkhonzi oshiywa ngumthunzi, nanjengenxila, elindele umvuzo wengqesho yakhe;

3Ngoko basikelelwe ngeenyanga eziphuthileyo, nobusuku obutyhafileyo bumiselwe mna.

4Xa ndileleyo ndithi, Ndiya kuvuka nini na, ubusuku budlule? ndaqina isibindi ndaya ngapha nangapha kwade kwasa.

5Inyama yam yembeswe iimpethu namanxeba othuli; ulusu lwam lwaphukile, lungamasikizi.

6Imihla yam ikhawuleza ngaphezu kwenqwelo; Akukho themba.

7Khumbula ukuba bungumoya ubomi bam; Aliyi kukubona okulungileyo iliso lam.

8Iliso elindibonayo aliyi kuba sandibona; Amehlo akho akum, ndingekho;

9Njengoko ilifu litshabalala kwaye linyamalala, ngokunjalo nalowo uhla aye kwelabafileyo akayi kubuya avuke.

10Akasayi kubuyela endlwini yakhe, nekhaya lakhe lingabi samazi.

11Ke ngoko, andiyi kuwuvala umlomo wam; Ndiya kuthetha ekubandezelweni komphefumlo wam; Ndiya kuwukhalaza umphefumlo wam ngenxa yobubi;

12Lulwandle na, ngumnenga na, le nto undibona?

13Xa ndithi, Wondithuthuzela umyalelo wam, Zolithoza izingqengqelo zam;

14Ngoku uyandoyikisa ngamaphupha yaye undoyikisa ngemibono.

15Ngoko ke umphefumlo wam wanyula ukufa nokufa kunobomi bam.

16Ndiyithiyile loo nto; andiyi kuphila ngonaphakade, andiyi kuma; ngokuba ilize imihla yam.

17Uyintoni na umntu, ukuba uthe wamenza mkhulu? Umisele intliziyo yakho kuye?

18Kwaye nokuba umndwendwela yonke intsasa uze umvavanye umzuzu ngamnye?

19Kuya kude kube nini na ningandishiyi ningandivumeli ndilinde de nditshice?

20Ndonile; ndithini na ngawe, Msindisi wabantu? yini na ukuba undenze umqondiso kuwe, ukuba ube ngumthwalo kum?

21Kwaye kungani na ukuba ungasixoleli isikreqo sam uze ubususe ubugwenxa bam? ngokuba ngoku ndiya kulala eluthulini; nindifune kusasa, ndingabikho.
