Sihlabelelo 114
Simangaliso sekukhishwa eGibhithe
1Mhlazana baka-Israyeli baphuma eGibhithe,
mzukwana indlu yakaJakobe
iphuma kubantfu
labakhuluma lolunye lulwimi,
2Juda waba sive lesingcwele saSimakadze,
Israyeli waba sive lesibuswa nguye.
3Lwandle Lolubovu lwakubona loku lwabaleka,
umfula iJordane wema,
wangete wageleta.
4Tintsaba tatjakadvula
njengetimbuti,
emagcuma atjekula
njengemazinyane etimvu.
5Kwenteke njani kuwe,
Lwandle Lolubovu,
kutsi bewungaze ubaleke?
Nawe Jordane, wentiwe yini
kuma ungageleti?
6Nine-ke tintsaba,
nitjakadvuleleni njengetimbuti?
Nani magcuma,
nitjekuleleni njengemazinyane etimvu?
7Mhlaba, tfutfumela embikwaSimakadze,
yebo, embikwaNkulunkulu waJakobe.
8Simakadze ugucula lidvwala
libe lichibi lemanti,
ancibilikise tiphongotja tetintsaba
tibe ngimitfombo yemanti.
