Umusa kaZimu emlandweni wakwa-Israyeli
1Haleluya!
Dumisani uSomnini ngombana ulungile
nokwethembeka kwakhe kujame isiphelani!
2Ngubani ongamemezela izenzo zakaSomnini zamandla,
namkha azwakalise loke idumo lakhe na?
3Babusisiwe abalonda okufaneleko,
benze nokulungileko ngeenkhathi zoke!
4Somnini, ungikhumbule
lokha nawuba nomusa ebantwini bakho;
ungitjheje nawubasindisako
5ukuze ngibone okuhle kwabakhethiweko bakho,
ngijabule ekwenameni kwesizwe sakho,
ngizikhakhazise nabalilifa lakho.
6Thina njengabobamkhulu sonile;
siphambukile, nje-ke sonakele.
7Lokha abobamkhulu nabaseseGibhide,
akhange banake iimangaliso zakho;
azange bakhumbule ukwethembeka kwakho okukhulu.
Bahlubuka nabaselwandle,
iye, elwandle lomGaba.
8Nokho uSomnini wabasindisa
ngenca yebizo lakhe,
kobana azise amandlakhe amakhulu.
9Wakhalimela ilwandle lomGaba, loma,
wabayamisa ekuzikeni inga kuserhalawumbeni.
10Wabasindisa esandleni sabanezondo,
wabahlenga esandleni sezitha.
11Amanzi abhibha amanababo,
akhange kusinde nelilodwa lawo.
12Nje-ke bakholwa amezwakhe,
bavuma idumo lakhe.
13Kodwana baba masinya
ekukhohlweni imisebenzakhe;
akhange baqalelele iseluleko sakhe.
14Baba nokukhaluza okukhulu nabaserhalawumbeni,
bazizinya uZimu khona enarheni elibhudu.
15Wabapha abakubawako,
kodwana wabehlisela ukugonyuluka.
16Ekampeni bafela uMosi umona
no-Aroni ocwengileko wakaSomnini.
17Iphasi lavuleka laginya uDatani,
ladibizesa nejima laka-Abiramu.
18Hlangana nejimelo kwaqubuka nomlilo;
iinkhohlakalezo zadliwa malangabi.
19Benza ikunzana eRhorebe,
balotjha isithombesibunjwa.
20Benana uZimu oyiphazimulwabo
ngomfanekiso wekomo edla utjani!
21Bakhohlwa uZimu omsindisabo
owenza izinto ezikulu eGibhide,
22iye, iimangaliso enarheni kaRhamu
nezinto ezesabekako elwandle lomGaba.
23Yeke wathi gade azobabhubhisa,
kodwana ngetjhudu uMosi, okhethiweko wakhe,
wajama esikhaleni phambi kwakhe
kobana adambise ilaka lakhe ekubhubhiseni.
24Godu banyaza nenarha ekhangako,
akhange bakholwe iinthembiso zakaSomnini.
25Bakhonona ematendenabo,
azange balalele ilizwi lakaSomnini.
26Ngalokho waphakamisa isandla,
wafunga bona uzobawisa erhalawumbeni,
27nokobana uzokusabalalisa
iinzukulwana zabo hlangana nezizwe,
azihlakaze kizo zoke iinarha.
28Nje-ke bazibophelela kuBhali wePewori,
badla okuhlatjelwe abafileko.
29Ngalokho bathukuthelisa uSomnini ngezenzo zabo,
kwaqubuka isifo phakathi kwabo.
30UFiniyasi wasikima walamula,
isifo saphela;
31wabalelwa lokho njengokulunga,
iinzukulwana ngeenzukulwana nini nanini.
32Godu bathukuthelisa uSomnini emanzini weMeriba,
uMosi wehlelwa zizehlo ngebanga labo:
33Lokha nabahlubuka uMoya kaSomnini,
umlomo wakaMosi wakhuluma ngamawala.
34Godu akhange babhubhise izizwe
njengombana uSomnini bekabayalile.
35Kodwana bakhozisana nazo
bebafunda ukwenza imikhubazo.
36Balotjha abosingazimu bazo
okwabuye kwaba sisifu kibo.
37Benzela imimoya emimbi imihlabelo
ngamadodana namadodakazabo.
38Bathulula iingazi ezinganamlandu,
iye, iingazi zamadodana namadodakazabo.
Benzela ngawo abosingazimu beKanana imihlabelo;
ngalokho inarha yasilaphazwa ziingazi ezinengi.
39Mbala, bazininda ngezenzo zabo,
ngemikhubabo leyo bangwadla.
40Yeke ilaka lakaSomnini lavutha ngabantu bakhe,
wanyenya ilifa lakhe.
41Wabanikela esandleni sezizwe
ukuze labo ababazondako bababuse.
42Izitha zabo zabagandelela,
baguqiswa ngaphasi kwesandla sazo.
43Wabasindisa kanengi uSomnini,
kodwana bona baba namasu wokuhlubuka;
ngalokho bacwila ngecala labo.
44Nokho wanaka isizi labo
lokha nezwa isililo sabo.
45Wakhumbula isivumelwano sakhe ngenca yabo,
waba nomusa ngokwethembeka kwakhe okukhulu.
46Wenza bona barhawukelwe
kilabo egade babathumbile.
47Somnini, Zimethu, sisindise!
Yewusibuthe hlangana nezizwe
ukuze sazise ibizo lakho elicwengileko,
sibabaze iphazimulwakho.
48Akudunyiswe uSomnini uZimu ka-Israyeli
kusukela nini nanini bekube siphelani!
Abantu abatjho bathi: “Amen!”
Haleluya!
