UMthanjiswa kaThixo

1Ngani na izizwe zisenza imbudumbudu nje?

Ngani na abantu besenza amayelenqe azé nje?

2Ookumkani bemi bume,

neziphathamandla zenza amabhunga

okuvukela *uNdikhoyo nomthanjiswa wakhe, besithi:

3“Masiziqhawule ezo mbophelelo zabo,

sikhululeke kuloo makhamandela abo.”

4Lowo ungqendeve esihlalweni sakhe ezulwini uyabahleka;

uNdikhoyo usuka abagxwale.

5Uya kusuka akhalimele ngomsindo,

abankwantyise ngengqumbo yakhe, athi:

6“Ndim lo umisele lo kumkani wam phezu kweZiyon,

intaba yam ncakasana.”

7Ewe, ndivakalisa isibhengezo sikaNdikhoyo esithi:

“Ungunyana wam wena; ndikuzele namhlanje.

8Cela kum, ndikunike iintlanga zibe lilifa lakho,

namaphethelo ehlabathi abe ngawakho.

9Wòzilawula ngegqudu lentsimbi,

ùzintlekeze zibe ziingceba oku kwezitya zomdongwe. ”

10Ngoko ke, nina bokumkani, lumkani,

nina ziphathamandla zelizwe, yalekani.

11Mkhonzeni ngembeko uNdikhoyo,

nivuye ninokuzoyikela.

12Khahlelani kuye unyana ngentobeko,

hleze aniqumbele nitshabalale endleleni;

kaloku umsindo wakhe uyakhawuleza.

Hayi uyolo lwabo bonke abazimela ngoNdikhoyo!
