Ukuthokoza kosindiswe ekufeni
1Ingoma yokwahlukaniselwa ithempeli; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Ngiyakuphakamisa Somnini ngombana ungenyulile,
akhange uvume bonyana izitha zijabule ngami.
3Somnini, Zimami,
ngilile kuwe, wangipholisa.
4Wena Somnini ungenyule endaweni yabafileko,
wangihlenga phakathi kwabehlela emgodini.
5Khalelani nidumise uSomnini
nina bathembekileko bayo,
thokozani ibizo layo elicwengileko
6ngombana itukuthelo kaSomnini ingeyesikhatjhana,
kodwana umusayo ungowepilo yoke.
Nanyana kungaba nesililo ebusuku,
nokho amasa eza nesihleko.
7Ekwenameni kwami mina ngathi:
“Angisoze nganyakaziswa.”
8Somnini bekungomusakho
kobana ungenze nganzinza njengentaba eqinileko;
kodwana lokha nawufihla ubuso bakho,
ngathoma ukukakamala.
9Ngalila kuwe Somnini,
iye, ngazincengela kuSomandla, ngathi:
10“Ingabe kukhona okuzuzako ngokufa kwami,
lokha nangehlela emgodini na?
Ithuli lona lizakudumisa,
lidembe ngokwethembeka kwakho na?
11Yizwa Somnini, ube nomusa kimi,
yiba msizami Somnini!”
12Uphendule isililo sami saba ligido,
wangihlubulisa izambatho zami zesililo,
wangembathisa ukujabula,
13ukuze ngikudumise ngamandla, ngingathuli.
Somnini Zimami, ngizakuthokoza nini nanini.
