Kuhlasela kwesikhonyane
1Livi laSimakadze lefika kuJoweli, umsa waPhethuweli, latsi:
2Lalelani naku, nine baholi,
nani nonkhe lenihlala kulelive.
Kwase kwenteka yini loku
ngetikhatsi tenu nome ngetikhatsi taboyihlomkhulu?
3Loku kutjeleni bantfwabenu,
nebantfwabenu bakutjele bantfwababo,
nebantfwababo bakutjele situkulwane lesilandzelako,
4kutsi loko lokwasala nyakana welifu lesikhonyane
sekudliwe tibotfo
naloko lokusele kuletibotfo
sekudliwe sigegedlana,
naloko lokusele kulesigegedlana,
sekudliwe tinkumbi.
5Phaphamani, nine tidzakwa, nikhale!
Lilani nonkhe nine banatsi beliwayini,
lilani ngenca yaleliwayini lelisha,
ngobe selisusiwe emilonyeni yenu.
6Sive sihlasele live lami,
sive lesinemandla nalesingenakubalwa;
sinematinyo lanjengewelibhubesi lelidvuna
netingcovela tematinyo
letinjengewelibhubesi lelisikati.
7Lesive sibhubhise imivini yami,
safohlota imikhiwa yami.
Sebule emagcolo ayo,
sawalahla le khashane,
sashiya emagala ato amhlophe.
8Lilani njengentfombi leyembetse emasaka,
iwavunulele umyeni wayo webusha.
9 Iminikelo yalokutinhlavu neyetinatfo
seyiyekelwe endlini yaSimakadze.
Baphristi sebayakhala,
labo labakhonta embikwaSimakadze.
10Emasimi asonakele,
nemhlaba sewomile,
ngobe nesivuno sibhujisiwe,
neliwayini lelisha sekwabate,
nemafutsa akasatfolakali.
11 Jabhani, nine balimi,
lilani, nine lenilima tivini.
Dzabukelani kolo kanye nebhali,
ngobe sivuno sensimi sibhujisiwe.
12Umvini sewomile,
nemkhiwa sewubunile
kanjalo nemahananandza,
nemasundvu,
nesihlahla semahhabhula
kanye nato tonkhe tihlahla tensimi setomile.
Ngempela kujabula kweluntfu sekuphelile.
Simemo sekuphendvuka
13Yembatsani emasaka,
nine baphristi, nilile.
Khalani, nine lenikhonta elatini.
Wotani nitekwembatsa emasaka busuku bonkhe,
nine lenikhonta embikwaNkulunkulu wami,
ngobe umnikelo walokutinhlavu
kanye nemnikelo wetinatfo sebakugodlile,
akuseti endlini yaNkulunkulu wenu.
14 Memetelani kuzila lokungcwele,
nimemetele umhlangano longcwele,
butsani baholi
kanye nabo bonkhe labahlala kulelive,
nibabitele endlini yaSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu,
nikhale kuSimakadze.
15 Maye, lilanga lelesabekako!
Ngobe lilanga laSimakadze lisedvute,
lilanga Somandla layawuletsa ngalo imbhubhiso.
16Kudla akukapheli yini embikwetfu?
Kujabula nekutfokota akukakhawuli yini
endlini yaNkulunkulu wetfu?
17Inhlanyelo seyiyabuna ngaphansi kwemagadze ayo.
Tingungumakamelo setiyimfuhlululu,
kanjalo netingungu setibhidlikile,
ngobe naloku lokutinhlavu sekomile.
18Maye, tinkhomo tiyabhonsa!
Imihlambi ihlakatekile,
ngobe ayinalo lidlelo,
ngisho nemihlambi yetimvu iyahlupheka.
19Awu, Simakadze, ngikhala kuwe,
ngobe umlilo sewukhotse onkhe emadlelo,
nemalangabi asashise tonkhe tihlahla tesiganga.
20 Ngisho netilwane tesiganga tikhalela wena,
imifula yemanti seyomile,
nemlilo sewuwakhotse onkhe lamadlelo.
