Konkhe kulite
1Lawa ngemavi eMshumayeli, umsa waDavide, inkhosi yaseJerusalema:
2 “Lite lelite!” kusho uMshumayeli.
“Kulite mbamba! Konkhe kulite.”
3 Umuntfu utfolani ngawo wonkhe
umshikashika lawusebentelako
lapha ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga?
4 Titukulwane tiyefika,
titukulwane tiyendlula,
kodvwa umhlaba uyakusala unjalo
phakadze naphakadze.
5 Lilanga liyaphuma, lilanga liyashona,
libuyele endzaweni yalo
lapho liphuma khona.
6Umoya uphephetsela ngaseningizimu,
bese uyajika ucondza ngasenyakatfo,
ushaye situngeletane,
ujikeleta lapho uhambe khona.
7Yonkhe imifula ingenisa elwandle,
noko lwandle alugcwali,
lapho ichamuka ngakhona imifula,
iphindze ibuyele khona futsi.
8 Tonkhe tintfo tiyadzinana,
kute umuntfu longatichaza.
Liso alizange leneliswe kubuka,
kantsi nendlebe ayigcwali ngekuva.
9 Lokwake kwaba khona
kuyawuphindze kube khona futsi,
lokwase kwentiwa
kuyawuphindze kwentiwe futsi;
kute intfo lensha,
lapha ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga.
10Kukhona yini intfo umuntfu langasho ngayo atsi:
“Ase nibuke, kusha-ke loku”?
Cha, kwase kwaba khona endvulo,
kwakukhona sisengakabikho.
11Bantfu bakadzeni abakhunjulwa,
nalabo labalandzelako abayiwukhunjulwa
ngulabo lababalandzelako.
Inhlakanipho ilite
12 Mine, Mshumayeli, ngangiyinkhosi yema-Israyeli eJerusalema. 13 Ngatimisela kutsi ngekuhlakanipha ngifundze ngiphenyisise ngako konkhe lokwentiwa emhlabeni. Maye, mkhulu umtfwalo Nkulunkulu lawetfwese bantfu! 14 Ngikubone konkhe lokwentiwako ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga; konkhe kulite, kufanana nekucosha umoya. 15 Loko lokugwegwile kungeke kucondziseke, loko lokungekho kungeke kubalwe.
16 Ngaticabangela ngatsi: “Mine ngikhulile, ngacokelela incumbi yekuhlakanipha, ngabendlula bonkhe labase babusela eJerusalema ngaphambi kwami; sengikubone kakhulu kuhlakanipha kanye nelwati.” 17 Ngatimisela engcondvweni yami kukwati kuhlakanipha, nebuhlanya nebulima, kodvwa ngefika lapho ngibona khona kutsi nako loko kufanana nekucosha umoya.
18Ngobe kuhlakanipha lokukhulu
kutala lusizi lolukhulu:
Umuntfu utsi angaba nelwati lolukhulu,
nekuhlupheka kwakhe kube kukhulu.
