Umthandazo wekucela tibusiso ethempelini
Ingoma yekuya emikhosini.
1Yebo, Simakadze, khumbula Davide,
kanye nato tonkhe tinhlupheko takhe.
2Khumbula tifungo takhe kuSimakadze,
netetsembiso latenta
kuSomandla waJakobe nakatsi:
3“Ngingeke ngingene endlini yami,
nome ngicambalale nasembhedzeni wami,
4nemehlo ami ngingeke ngiwanike butfongo,
netinkhophe tami kwetela,
5ngingakamtfoleli Simakadze indzawo,
ngakhe likhaya laSomandla waJakobe.”
6Seva ngelibhokisi lesivumelwane
ngesikhatsi siseBhetlehema,
salikhandza kulaseJeyarimu.
7Asambe siye lapho ahlala khona,
siyewukhonta esenabelweni
setinyawo takhe.
8Phakama, Simakadze,
uye endzaweni yakho yekuphumula,
wena nelibhokisi lesivumelwane sakho,
lelingumfanekiso wemandla akho.
9Baphristi bakho abembatse kulunga,
labangcwele bakho bahlabele ngekwetsaba.
10Ngenca yaDavide, inceku yakho,
ungamfulatseli umgcotjwa wakho.
11Simakadze wafunga kuDavide,
wenta sifungo langeke ajike kuso, watsi:
“Lomunye wemadvodzana akho
ngiyawumenta abe yinkhosi emvakwakho.
12Nangabe bantfwabakho
bagcina sivumelwane sami netimiso tami
lengiyawubafundzisa tona,
nebantfwababo futsi
bayawuhlala esihlalweni sakho sebukhosi,
kuze kube phakadze.”
13Ngobe Simakadze uyikhetsile iSiyoni,
kutsi ibe likhaya lakhe, watsi:
14“Lena yindzawo yami yekuphumula,
ngiyawuhlala kuyo phakadze naphakadze;
lena yindzawo lengifuna kuyibusa.
15Ngiyawuyibusisa ngako konkhe lekudzingako;
ngesutsise timphuya tayo ngekudla.
16Baphristi bayo ngiyawubembatsisa
ngensindziso,
labangcwele bayo bahlabele ngekujabula.
17Ngiyawuvusa lomunye
wetitukulwane taDavide,
ngimente abe yinkhosi lenkhulu.
Umgcotjwa wami ngimlungiselele sibane,
kutsi bukhosi bakhe bukhanye njalo.
18Titsa takhe ngiyawutembesa ngelihlazo,
kodvwa umbuso wakhe
uyawuphumelela uchume.”
