UISAYA 35

₁Intlango nomqwebedu ziya kuchulumacha;

elibharhileyo loba nemihlali liqhakraze njengentyatyambo.

₂Intlango yomemelela idlokove luvuyo;

yoba yinzwakazi enjengeentaba zaseLebhanon,

yochuma njengamasimi aseKarmele naseSharon.

Bonke bobubona ubungangamsha *bukaNdikhoyo,

bucace ubuhandiba nokomelela koThixo wethu.

₃Izandla ezinomkhinkqi mazomelele,

namadolo anengevane atsho adlamke.

₄Thetha namagwala, uthi:

“Qinani, ningabi nentaka!

Kaloku uyeza uThixo wenu;

uza epheth' impindezelo.

Nank' egush' imbuyekezo;

ewe, uza kunihlangula.”

₅Kaloku ke kobona nemfama le yembala,

zitsho zivuleke neendlebe zesithulu,

₆nesiqhwala sidlobe sitsiba-tsibe okwempunzi;

nezimumu zomemelela ngemihlali.

Kaloku kompompoza amanzi nasentlango,

kugqabhuke imilambo nakwelibharhileyo.

₇Intlabathi evuthayo yojika ibe lichibi,

umhlab' okhothekileyo uphanjwe yimithombo.

Asisathethi ke ngeendawo zikadyakalashe,

kuba zona zoba yimigxobhozo yemizi neengcongolo.

₈Apho ke kothi tyaba uhola;

leyo ke kothiwa yindlela yobungcwele

ekungekho namoni woze athi cakatha kuyo,

nasiyatha solahlekisa mntu kuyo.

₉Kuyo soze kubekho ngonyama,

ingasoze ihanjwe narhamncwa;

kuphela ngabakhululwe nguNdikhoyo

abaya kudakasa kuloo ndlela.

₁₀Abasindisiweyo nguNdikhoyo bobuyela eZiyon benemihlali,

bengqungqa bememelela ngochulumacho.

Soze babe sazana neentsizi nenkxwaleko;

boxhamla ulonwabo naphakade.
