IINDUMISO 49 - isiXhosa 1996

Musa ukukholosa ngobutyebiKumbhexeshi-kwayara; umhobe woonyana bakwaKora.

1Phulaphulani, nonke zizwe!

Yivani, nonke bemi behlabathi!

2Iindidi zonke maziphulaphule,

izityebi ngokunjalo namahlwempu!

3Ngoku ndiza kuphokoza ubulumko,

iingcamango zam zizal' ukuqiqa.

4Ndiza kujongana nentsonkotha;

ndiza kuyichaza ngengoma yehapu.

5Ndingoyika ntoni ngemihla yobubi,

xa ndingqongwe yinkohlakalo yabakhohlisi,

6abantu abaqamele ngobutyebi,

abaqhayisa ngentabalala yobutyebi?

7Umntu akanako ukusindisa umntu;

akanako ukunika uThixo ixabiso lobomi bakhe.

8Nakanye! Kaloku ixabiso lobomi bomntu likhulu.

Alifikeleleki mpela-mpela

9elo linokumenza abe sisimakade,

angaze alibone ingcwaba.

10Uyabona, kaloku nezilumko ziyafa,

izidenge kwanezityhakala!

Ubutyebi babushiya kwabakhoyo.

11Amangcwaba likhaya labo naphakade.

Baya kuhlala khona njalo-njalo,

nakuba babefudula benemihlaba ebizwa ngabo.

12Umntu akanako ukukuphepha ukufa ngokuba esisinhanha.

Hayi bo! Uyatshabalala njengezilwanyana.

13Nâso ke isiphelo sabasweli-kuqonda,

abo bakhohliswa ziingcinga zabo.

14Bamiselwe ukufa njengeegusha;

bona baxhatshazwa kukufa.

Bathi ngqo behlele engcwabeni,

onke amathambo abo avuthuluke,

kuba kaloku bona abasekho.

15Ke mna ke, uThixo uya kundikhulula;

uya kundihlangula andithathele kuye.

16Sukuxhala wakubona umntu ehluma,

wakubona ubutyebi bakhe bukhula.

17Akanakuhamba nabo xa afayo;

ubutyebi buya kusala ngasemva.

18Nakuba ebezicingela ukuba wonwabile ngokuya ebesaphila,

nokuba ebenconywa ngempumelelo,

19wohamba aye kuhlala namanyange

angaze abonane nokukhanya.

20Umntu osisinhanha, kodwa engenangqiqo,

uyafana nje nezilwanyana ezi zitshabalalayo.
