IINDUMISO 132 - isiXhosa 1996

Umhobe wendlu kaThixoIculo labahambi.

1Awu, *Ndikhoyo, mkhumbule uDavide

ngawo onke amasuka-ndihlale akhe,

2nesifungo awakwenzela sona, Ndikhoyo,

eso akuthembise ngaso, Ngangalala yakwaYakobi.

3Wathi: “Andisayi kugoduka, ndingasayi kulala,

4ngenene andisoze ndiwavale amehlo,

ndingasoze ndibuthurhe ubuthongo,

5ndingamakhelanga umzi uNdikhoyo,

nditsho ikhaya lengangalala kaYakobi.”

6Ewe, seva ngaloo mnqophiso e-Efrata,

sagagana nawo kumathafa aseYeharim, sathi:

7“Masiye kuye ebhotwe;

masiye kumnqula simkhahlele.”

8Ndikhoyo, khawuye endaweni yakho yokuphumla,

wena ndawonye netyesi yomnqophiso;

nditsho leyo ingumqondiso wamandla akho.

9Ababingeleli mabavathe ubulungisa,

abantu bakho batsholoze ngovuyo.

10Ngenxa yesicaka sakho uDavide

ungamfulatheli umthanjiswa wakho.

11Kaloku, Ndikhoyo, wamenzela isifungo uDavide,

futhi ke soze usijike, usithi:

“Omnye koonyana besinqe sakho

ndiya kumthambisa abe ngukumkani,

angene esikhundleni sakho.

12Ukuba ke bathe bawugcina

umnqophiso lo oonyana bakho,

kwanemimiselo endibafundisa yona,

noonyana babo bolawula,

bachophe esikhundleni sakho ngonaphakade.”

13Kaloku uNdikhoyo uyinyule iZiyon;

uyikhethele ukuba ibe likhaya lakhe, esithi:

14“Eli likhaya lam lokuphumla naphakade;

ndiya kuma apha ngokomnqweno wam.

15Ndiya kuyithi jize ngentabalala yendyebo;

abahlelelekileyo ndiya kubondla.

16Ababingeleli bovatha usindiso,

abantu bam batsholoze ngemihlali.

17Kuya kuvela omnye kubazukulwana bakaDavide;

ndiya kuwugcina umlibo womthanjiswa wam.

18Iintshaba zakhe ndozigalela ngehlazo;

ke olwakhe ulawulo loba nesidima nenkqubela.”
