Umthandazo wokutjhatjhululwa eenkhohlakalini
1Somnini, kubayini ujamele kude na?
Ufihlelani ubuso ngeenkhathi zokubandezelwa?
2Ngokuzigqaja iinkhohlakali zizumana nabadududu!
Inga zingabanjwa emaqhingenazo eziwalukileko.
3Isikhohlakali sikhuzela iimfiso zaso,
sibongelele inzuzwaso, sinyefule uSomnini.
4Isikhohlakali siyazitjhaya,
asinandaba noSomnini;
woke amahlelwaso akanaZimu.
5Iindlela zaso ziyabambelela ngesikhathi soke,
siqoqomele, iingwebo zakho zikude naso,
sitsakela boke abajamelani baso amathe.
6Sithi ehliziywenaso: “Angeze ngasikinywa;
ngesikhathi soke angisoze ngehlelwa yingozi.”
7Umlomaso ugcwele ukuthukana, ikohliso nenturhu;
ngaphasi kwelimu laso kukhona ukonakala nekohlakalo.
8Sizifihla emizaneni ukuze sikhukhuthele,
sibulale onganacala eendaweni ezisithekileko.
Amehlwaso ahlala aqaphele ungazimbi;
9sibadalala njengebhubezi nalithiyelela emphandwinalo,
sibadalala bona sibambe ohluphekileko.
Iye, sibamba ohluphekileko
ngokumyengela ngenedenaso.
10Sisunduza besiwise abanganamenyeli
ngamandlaso;
11nanyana kunjalo sithi ehliziywenaso:
“UZimu ukhohliwe,
ubuso bakhe ubusithezile,
yeke akasoze akubone lokhu.”
12Sikima Somnini!
Phakamisa isandla sakho, Zimu!
Ungabakhohlwa abahluphekileko!
13Kuyangani bonyana isikhohlakali sinyefule uZimu,
ngokudlumbana bona wena awunaki na?
14Kodwana wena Somnini, uyabona!
Wena ngokwakho uyelela umonakalo nesizi
ukuze lokho kube sesandleni sakho.
Yeke ungazimbi uzinikela kuwe,
iye, wena umsizi wentandani.
15Yephula ingalo yesikhohlakali nesoni;
urhubhulule iimphambeko zomoni
kungasali litho!
16Mbala, uZimu uyikosi nini nanini;
izizwe zizakubhujiswa enarhenakhe.
17Wena Somnini, ulalela ukulangazela kwabathobileko,
iye, ihliziywabo uyayikhuthaza
nendlebakho uyibeke kibo,
18kobana wenze ukulunga entandaneni nakogandelelweko.
Isikhohlakali asingahlali sihlukumeza onganabani
ngokumqotjha enarheni.
