IINDUMISO 8 - isiXhosa 1996

Ubungangamsha bukaThixo nesidima somntuUmhobe kaDavide; kumbhexeshi-kwayara; uvunywa ngathi yilaa ngoma yamaGati.

1*Ndikhoyo, Nkosi yethu,

hayi ukubaluleka kwegama lakho ehlabathini!

Wena uqaqambisa amazulu ngesithozela sakho,

2nditsho abantwana kwaneentsana ziyakubonga,

nto leyo ibamisela umqobo abachasi

wokuvalela utshaba kwanomphindezeli.

3Xa ndiqwalasela amazulu owenzileyo,

inyanga, neenkwenkwezi ezidalwe nguwe,

4ngubani yena umntu, le nto umkhumbulelayo,

engubani yena unyana womntu, le nto umkhathalelayo?

5Ngaphezu koko umenze wanganeno kancinane nje kuwe, Thixo;

umthe jize ngesihomo nesithozela.

6Umnike igunya kuyo yonke indalo yakho,

wazibeka phantsi kwegunya lakhe zonk' izinto:

7iinkomo neegusha, kwanazo neenyamakazi;

8iintaka eziphaphazelayo, neentlanzi,

nayo yonke into ephithizela elwandle.

9Hayi ukubaluleka kwalo igama lakho ehlabathini liphela,

Ndikhoyo, Nkosi yethu!
