Sihlabelelo 11
Kwetsembela kuSimakadze
Sihlabelelo saDavide lesetfulwe kumhlabelisi.
1KuSimakadze ngitfole siphephelo.
Pho, ngabe ningeluleka njani nanitsi:
“Ndizela entsabeni njengenyoni!
2Ase ubuke nje kutsi
lababi babhace ebumnyameni
lapho bantsala butjoki khona,
baciphe imicibisholo yabo kubo,
khona batewudubula labacotfo ngenhlitiyo.
3Nangabe tisekelo setibhidlitwa,
lolungile angenta njani?”
4Simakadze usethempelini lakhe lelingcwele,
sihlalo sebukhosi saSimakadze sisezulwini,
emehlo akhe ayacaphela,
emehlo akhe avivinya bantfu emhlabeni.
5Simakadze uyamvivinya lolungile,
kodvwa uyamtondza lomubi
nalotsandza budlova.
6Lababi uyawubehlisela imvula
yemalahle lavutsako nesibabule,
abajezise ngemoya lohhusha kabuhlungu.
7Simakadze ulungile,
utsandza tento letinhle,
labalungile bayawububona buso bakhe.
