IINDUMISO 146

₁Aa! Bayethe, Mhlekazi!

Duma ukhahlele *kuNdikhoyo, mphefumlo wam!

₂Ndiya kumbonga uNdikhoyo lo gama ndisadla ubomi;

ndiya kuhlabela indumiso,

ndibonge uThixo wam bonke ubomi bam.

₃Musa ukukholosa ngamanene;

sukuthemba umntu, kuba akaloncedo.

₄Uthi akuba efile abuyele emhlabeni;

ngaloo mini buyatshitsha ubuchule bakhe.

₅Hay' inyhweba yalowo uluncedo lunguThixo kaYakobi,

lowo uthembele ngoNdikhoyo uThixo wakhe;

₆ongumenzi wamazulu nehlabathi,

ulwandle neento zonke ezilapho kulo;

yena ungajikiyo kwizithembiso zakhe;

₇umthetheleli wâbo baxhatshazwayo;

umondli wâbo balambayo.

UNdikhoyo uwathi jize ngenkululeko amabanjwa.

₈UNdikhoyo ngumvuli wamehlo eemfama,

umphakamisi wâbo bawileyo.

UNdikhoyo ngumathand' amalungisa.

₉UNdikhoyo ngumkhuseli wabahambi nabangeneleli,

umxhasi wabahlolokazi neenkedama.

Ke bona abakhohlakeleyo uyabatshabalalisa.

₁₀Kambe ke yena uNdikhoyo uya kulawula naphakade,

uThixo wakho, Ziyon, kuzo zonke izizukulwana.

Siyakhahlela, sithi: “Bayethe, Mhlekazi!”
