UMthanjiswa kaThixo
1Ngani na izizwe zisenza imbudumbudu nje?
Ngani na abantu besenza amayelenqe azé nje?
2Ookumkani bemi bume,
neziphathamandla zenza amabhunga
okuvukela *uNdikhoyo nomthanjiswa wakhe, besithi:
3“Masiziqhawule ezo mbophelelo zabo,
sikhululeke kuloo makhamandela abo.”
4Lowo ungqendeve esihlalweni sakhe ezulwini uyabahleka;
uNdikhoyo usuka abagxwale.
5Uya kusuka akhalimele ngomsindo,
abankwantyise ngengqumbo yakhe, athi:
6“Ndim lo umisele lo kumkani wam phezu kweZiyon,
intaba yam ncakasana.”
7Ewe, ndivakalisa isibhengezo sikaNdikhoyo esithi:
“Ungunyana wam wena; ndikuzele namhlanje.
8Cela kum, ndikunike iintlanga zibe lilifa lakho,
namaphethelo ehlabathi abe ngawakho.
9Wòzilawula ngegqudu lentsimbi,
ùzintlekeze zibe ziingceba oku kwezitya zomdongwe.”
10Ngoko ke, nina bokumkani, lumkani,
nina ziphathamandla zelizwe, yalekani.
11Mkhonzeni ngembeko uNdikhoyo,
nivuye ninokuzoyikela.
12Khahlelani kuye unyana ngentobeko,
hleze aniqumbele nitshabalale endleleni;
kaloku umsindo wakhe uyakhawuleza.
Hayi uyolo lwabo bonke abazimela ngoNdikhoyo!
