Intuthuzelo evela kwiLizwi – Day 37

₂*NguNdikhoyo umakhi weJerusalem,

umqokeleli weembacu zakwaSirayeli,

₃umnyangi wabantliziyo zenzakeleyo,

ewe, umbophi wamanxeba abo.

₄Ngumqingqi wenani leenkwenkwezi;

iyileyo naleyo kuzo uyibiza ngegama layo.

₅Hay' ubukhulu bukaNdikhoyo, uyingangalala ngamandla!

Ubulumko bakhe abunamda.

₆UNdikhoyo uyabaphakamisa abagqush' eluthulini;

ke bona abakhohlakeleyo ubakhahlela phantsi.

₄₉Ungalilibali idinga lakho kwisicaka sakho.

Andithi kaloku wandithembisa!

₅₀Nasebunzimeni ndiyathuthuzeleka,

kuba isithembiso sakho siyandihlaziya.

₁Awu, *Ndikhoyo, mna andizigwagwisi;

ngokunjalo mna andiziphakamisi.

Kaloku andizixakekisi ngemicimbi ephakamileyo kunokuba ndinjalo mna.

₂Kodwa ndanelisekile, ndaye ndixolile.

Ndinjengosana oluthe cwaka ezingalweni zikanina;

ngenene umoya wam uphuphuma ukwanela.

₃Sirayeli, khawuthembele kuNdikhoyo, kususela ngoku kude kube nini-nini.

₁Ekusibuyiseleni *kukaNdikhoyo eZiyon,

ngokuya sasiphuma ekuthinjweni,

kwasuka kwaba ngathi liphupha.

₂Safumana sagigitheka yintsini,

kwayintswahla yemincili novuyo.

Zade zatsho nezizwe zathi:

“Ngenene uNdikhoyo ubenzele izinto ezinkulu.”

₃UNdikhoyo usincede kakhulu, ngoko ke siyavuya.

₄Khawusibuyisele inkqubela, Ndikhoyo,

njengamanzi empompoz' entlango.

₅Abo bahlwayela behlininika besezinyembezini

banga bangavuna bebobotheka yimincili.

₆Abo baphuma bahambe bezibambe ngeenkophe,

bepheth' imbewu, besiya kuhlwayela,

bobuya bedanduluka, bememelela ngemincili.

Kaloku bobuya besikaza, bethwel' isivuno.

₁Huntshu-u-u! Khanityibele nimbonge *uNdikhoyo;

ewe, lidumisen' igama likaNdikhoyo!

Zicaka zakhe, khahlelani nidumisa uNdikhoyo;

₂nditsho nina nitabhata endlwini kaNdikhoyo,

nasenkundleni yomzi woThixo wethu.

₃Mdumiseni, kuba uNdikhoyo yindlel' enqwelo ngokulunga;

memelelani nimdumise, kuba kuluyolo ukwenjenjalo.

₄Andithi kaloku uNdikhoyo wazinyulela uYakobi!

Ewe, wazikhethela uSirayeli wangowakhe ncakasana!

₅Ndiyaqonda ukuba uNdikhoyo ubavelele,

ewe, ubakrobele bonke abanye *oothixo.

₆Kaloku uNdikhoyo wenza ngokubona kwakhe –

nditsho emazulwini nasemhlabeni,

kwiilwandle nakwiinzongo-nzongo zeenzulu.

₇Ngumavus' iingqimba zamafu eziphelweni zehlabathi,

ulokhaph' imvula ngemibane elenyayo,

aze akhuph' isaqhwithi ngendlu yaso.

₈Kaloku nguye owabhubhisa amazibulo eJiputa;

ewe, wageqa awabantu nawezilwanyana.

₉Kanye phakathi kwelaseJiputa

wenza imiqondiso nemimangaliso,

wamohlwaya ukumkani nezicaka zakhe.

₁₀Wazingenela izizwe, kwajub' ugodo,

wabageqa ookumkani abaziwayo.

₁₁Nditsho ooSihon ukumkani wama-Amori,

noo-Ogi ukumkani waseBhashan,

nazo zonke izikumkani zaseKanana.

₁₂Umhlaba wazo wona wawohlutha,

waza waba lilifa labantu bakhe amaSirayeli.

₁₃Igama lakho, Ndikhoyo, lohlala ngonaphakade;

udumo lwakho lovakala kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.

₁₄Kaloku uNdikhoyo uya kubalungiselela abantu bakhe,

avelane nazo izicaka zakhe.

₁₅Oothixo beentlanga benziwe ngegolide nesiliva;

basisiqhamo sobuchule bezandla zomntu.

₁₆Benemilomo nje, abakwazi ukuthetha;

banawo namehlo, kodwa ababoni.

₁₇Nakuba beneendlebe nje, bazizithulu;

baziziduli ezingenawo nomphefumlo.

₁₈Bakwafana nazo abenzi bazo,

nabo bonke abakholosa ngazo.

₁₉Khanidume nibonge uNdikhoyo, ndlu kaSirayeli,

nani ndlu ka-Aron, mbongen' uNdikhoyo.

₂₀NabaLevi mabakhahlele bebonga uNdikhoyo,

nabamthobelayo uNdikhoyo mababonge bade babongisele.

₂₁Izibongo mazihlokome, ziphuma eZiyon,

zidumisa uNdikhoyo okhaya liseJerusalem.

Awu! Sitsho sonke, sithi: “Bayethe, Mhlekazi!”

₁*InguNdikhoyo nje ondalusayo,

ndingaswela ntoni na?

₂Nguye ondikhaphelela kumadlelo aluhlaza,

andikhokelele kwimilambo empompozayo,

₃nditsho ndihlaziyeke emphefumlweni.

Undithundezela kwezona ndlela zilungileyo,

ukuze lidunyiswe igama lakhe.

₄Ngoko ke, nokuba ndihamba kwiingxondorha ezimnyama,

andinadyudyu.

Kaloku ungakum, wena Ndikhoyo;

isagweba sakho nebhunguza lakho lixhadi lam.

₅Undamkela okondwendwe oluxabisekileyo,

uqukeze ude undihlinzeke ngesidlo, iintshaba zam zibukele.

Ngenene, iyaphuphuma indebe yam.

₆Ngoko ke ndiya kulandelwa kokulungileyo nabububele,

umzi wakho ube likhaya lam yonke imihla yobomi bam.
