UNCUTHU LWENGOMA 2

₁Ndiyintyatyambo yaseSharon,

inyibiba yasentilini.

₂Njengenyibiba phakathi kwameva

sinjalo isithandwa sam phakathi kweentombi.

₃Njengomthi weeapile ehlathini

sinjalo isithandwa sam phakathi kwabafana.

Akwaba bendingahlala emthunzini wawo;

azimnandi ngako iziqhamo zawo!

₄Wandingenisa endlwini yombhiyozo,

wandiphakamisela intshinga yothando.

₅Ndomeleze ngesixa seerasentyisi,

kananjalo undihlaziye ngeeapile.

Kaloku ndiyafa luthando.

₆Isandla sakhe sasekhohlo sixhasa intloko yam,

esokunene sona siyandiwola.

₇Zintombi zaseJerusalem, ndiyanifungisa

ngamabhadikazi namanxalakazi asendle:

Sanukuluxhokonxa ningaluphembeleli uthando;

luyekeni lude luzivukele ngokwalo.

₈Khanive, sisithandwa sam eso!

Awu, naso ke sisiza:

siza siqakatha ezintabeni;

siyatsiba-tsiba ezindulini phaya.

₉Isithandwa sam ngathi linxala,

sona sinjengetakane lebhadi.

Naso simi emva kodonga lwakowethu,

silolonga efestileni,

sinyondla, sikroba emkhusaneni.

₁₀Isithandwa sam sibhekisa kum, sisithi:

“Vuka kaloku, sithandwa sam.

Awu, uyinzwakazi ke khona!

Yiza kaloku, masihambe.

₁₁Kaloku bona ubusika budlule,

kananjalo neemvula zigqithile.

₁₂Iintyatyambo ziqhakazile elizweni;

ligalelekile ixesha lokuntyiloza.

Nâlo ihobe lidumzela;

ewe, liyavakala kweli lakowethu.

₁₃Ngoku namakhiwane okuqala ayavuthwa;

ukudubula kwesidiliya kutsho ngesiqholo.

Phakama uze, sithandwa.

Ewe, nzwakazi yam,

yiza kaloku, masihambe!”

₁₄Uyintw' engathi lihotyazana

lithe nca ezimfanteni zamawa;

nditsho elizimela ezintabeni.

Vela kaloku ndikubone,

ukuze ndive nelo lizwi;

nditsho elo liyole kunene.

Ubuso bakho buthi ndijonge!

₁₅Khawusibambele ezo mpungutye;

ewe, iimpungutyana ezincinci,

kuba ziyazonakalisa izidiliya,

kanti izidiliya zethu zityatyambile.

₁₆Isithandwa sam sesam,

kanti nam ngokwam ndingowaso.

Sona salusa phakathi kweenyibiba.

₁₇Ide ke isangane imini,

ke wona amathunzi anabe,

jika ubuye, sithandwa sam.

Ewe, khawube njengenxala;

khawuxel' ithole lebhadi

kuloo mixawuka yeentaba.
