IINDUMISO 95

₁Yizani sombelele *uNdikhoyo,

simculele sigcobile umkhuseli nomsindisi wethu!

₂Masiye kuye sinombulelo,

simombelele iingoma zokubonga.

₃Kaloku uNdikhoyo nguThixo onamandla,

ngukumkani omkhulu *kwizithixo zonke.

₄Lisesandleni sakhe ihlabathi liphela;

iinzulu neencopho zilawulwa nguye.

₅Ulawula ulwandle kuba walwenza;

nomhlaba wawudala ngezandla zakhe.

₆Yizani siqubude simnqule,

siguqe phambi koNdikhoyo umdali wethu,

₇kuba yena nguThixo wethu.

Thina singumhlambi awalusayo,

iigusha ezondliwa nguye.

Namhla liveni ilizwi lakhe elithi:

₈“Musan' ukuba neenkani, njengookhokho benu eMeribha,

njengemihla yaseMasa entlango,

₉apho bandilingayo,

naxa babezibona izinto endandibenzela zona.

₁₀Iminyaka emashumi mane bandikruqula,

ndada ndathi: ‘Hay' ukungeva kwabo;

abayithobeli imiyalelo yam.’

₁₁Ngoko ke ndafunga ngomsindo, ndathi:

‘Abasoze bangene ekuphumleni kwam.’ ”
