Ukwethemba isindiso kaSomnini
1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Ngaqalelela bengaqalelela uSomnini,
wabeka indlebe, wezwa isililo sami.
3Wangikhupha ngemgodini wokufa,
iye, edakeni elimodzako;
wajamisa iinyawo zami edwaleni,
wangikhambisa endaweni eqinileko.
4Wabeka ingoma etja emlonyenami,
indumiso yokubabaza uZimu.
Abanengi bazakubona lokho besabe,
bathembele kuSomnini.
5Ubusisiwe othembela kuSomnini,
ongaphendukeli ezitheni
nakwabadlhemadlhema ngemva kwabosingazimu.
6Wena Somnini Zimami,
akakho ongafaniswa nawe:
Uzandisile iimangaliso nemizindlwakho ngathi.
Nangifuna ukuyitjho engikhuluma ngayo,
iba minengi khulu kobana ingabalwa.
7Imihlabelo neminikelo yeenthoro awuyithokozeli;
iye, imihlabelo yokutjhiswa neyehlambululo awuyibizi.
Ukotakote iindlebe zami,
8nje-ke ngithe: “Qala, ngizile
njengombana ngitlolelwe njalo emsongweni.
9Ngiyathanda ukwenza intandwakho, Zimami
nomthethwakho ungaphakathi kwami.”
10Ngimemezele ebandleni elikhulu
iindaba ezihle zokulunga.
Mbala, akhange ngivale umlomami
njengombana wazi wena, Somnini.
11Akhange ngigodle ubulungiswa bakho ehliziywenami,
ngikhulume ngobuqotho nangesindiswakho;
ukwethembeka neqiniso lakho
akhange ngikufihle ebandleni elikhulu.
12Yeke Somnini, ungagodli umusakho kimi;
kwanga ukwethembeka neqiniso lakho
kungangilonda isiphelani.
13Ngiphahlwe zizinto ezimbi ezingabalekiko,
iye, amacalami angitholile,
manengi kuneenhluthu zehlokwami;
ngitjho nokubona angisaboni,
sengiphelelwe mamandla.
14Somnini, kwanga ungathokozela ukungisindisa;
ube masinyana Somnini ekungisizeni.
15Boke labo abafuna ukuhlwitha ipilwami,
kwanga bangadaniswa bebakhene,
kuthi labo abangifisela okumbi,
bakhahlamezelwe emuva bebaphoqeke.
16Abakakamale ngenca yokuphoqeka,
labo abathi kimi: “Arha! Uswinakele!”
17Kodwana boke abakufunako
abajabule bename ngawe;
kwanga abathabela isindiswakho,
bangatjho njalonjalo bathi:
“USomnini uyababazeka!”
18Nakungimi yena, ngichakile ngiyaswela,
nokho uSomandla uyangikhumbula.
Wena ungumsizami nomsindisami,
yeke, ungariyadi wena, Zimami.
