Ubujamo obumasikizi kwaJuda
1Ilizwi lakaSomnini elafika kuJuweli umsa kaPetuweli:
2Yizwani lokhu nina baphathi,
nilalele nina noke enakhe enarheni.
Into enje, yakhe yenzeka eenkhathini zenu
namkha eenkhathini zaboyihlo na?
3Nizoyibikela abantwabenu,
nabantwabenu babikele abantwababo,
nabantwababo babikele isizukulwani esilandelako.
4Lokho okwatjhiywa sikhonyani
kwadliwa yikumbi;
okwatjhiywa liwoma lentethe
kwadliwa ngelinye iwoma lentethe.
5Phaphamani, nilile nina ndakwa ndina!
Lilani nina nseli zewayini;
lilani ngebanga lesitjhidela sewayini
esihluthwe emilonyenenu.
6Isizwe esinamandla nesinganakubalwa
sisahlele inarha yakwethu;
sinamazinyo nemihlathi enjengeyeengwenyama.
7Sirhayile isidiribe sakwethu;
sahlikiliza nemithi yakwethu yamakhiwani.
Sebule amaqolo,
sawaphuphura sawatjhwamadela;
satjhiya iimpande zimhlophe twa.
8Lilani njengeqhakazana elembethe iinzilo;
lililela ukufa kwendoda ebeyisanda ukulithatha.
9Umnikelo wamabele noweenselo
awusalethwa endlini kaSomnini.
Abaphristi, iinceku zakaSomnini, badanile.
10Ummango urhayiliwe;
amasimu omile;
amabele ahlikiliziwe;
iwayini elitja litjhile
namafutha we-oliva akasekho.
11Kakamalani nina balimi,
nilile nina batjali besidiribe.
Tlhuwelani ikoroyi nebhali
ngombana isivuno samasimu sirhayiliwe.
12Isidiribe sibunile,
nemithi yamakhiwani ithintithekile.
Amarharinadi, amasundu nemithi yama-apula
kanye nayo yoke imithi yemmangweni itjhwabile.
Kwamambala, ithabo labantu linyelele.
Ilanga lekonzo ekhethekileko
13Baphristi, yembathani iinzilo, nirhahlawule;
lilani nina enilotjha phambi kwe-aldari.
Yizani nizokulila noke,
nina enilotjha phambi koZimu wesivumelwano
ngombana iminikelo yamabele neyeenselo
ayisalethwa ethempelini lakaZimenu.
14Bekani ilanga lokuzila;
memezelani umhlangano okhethekileko.
Bizelani endlini kaSomnini uZimenu,
abaphathi boke nezakhamuzi;
nilile kuSomnini.
15Maye mhlokho!
Ngambala ilanga lakaSomnini libandamele;
liza ngokubhubhisa okukhulu kukaSomandla.
16Angithi ukudla kurhayiliwe phambi kwamehlwethu?
Angithi ukuthokoza nethabo kuphelile ekumbeni kaZimethu?
17Iimbewu ziyakghora ngaphasi kwamagade.
Amadladla amafuhlufuhlu,
iinlulu zirhirikile
ngombana amabele omile.
18Maye ukubongolela kweenkomo!
Imihlambi ihlakazekile ngombana ayinamadlelo;
ngitjho nemihlambi yezimvu isesonweni.
19Ngilila kuwe Somnini
ngombana umlilo utjhise amadlelo emrhuleni,
amalangabi arhabule yoke imithi yommango.
20Ngitjho neembandana zommango zilila kuwe Somnini
ngombana imilambo yamanzi yomile.
Umlilo utjhise amadlelo emrhuleni.
