Musa ukukholosa ngobutyebi
Kumbhexeshi-kwayara; umhobe woonyana bakwaKora.
1Phulaphulani, nonke zizwe!
Yivani, nonke bemi behlabathi!
2Iindidi zonke maziphulaphule,
izityebi ngokunjalo namahlwempu!
3Ngoku ndiza kuphokoza ubulumko,
iingcamango zam zizal' ukuqiqa.
4Ndiza kujongana nentsonkotha;
ndiza kuyichaza ngengoma yehapu.
5Ndingoyika ntoni ngemihla yobubi,
xa ndingqongwe yinkohlakalo yabakhohlisi,
6abantu abaqamele ngobutyebi,
abaqhayisa ngentabalala yobutyebi?
7Umntu akanako ukusindisa umntu;
akanako ukunika uThixo ixabiso lobomi bakhe.
8Nakanye! Kaloku ixabiso lobomi bomntu likhulu.
Alifikeleleki mpela-mpela
9elo linokumenza abe sisimakade,
angaze alibone ingcwaba.
10Uyabona, kaloku nezilumko ziyafa,
izidenge kwanezityhakala!
Ubutyebi babushiya kwabakhoyo.
11Amangcwaba likhaya labo naphakade.
Baya kuhlala khona njalo-njalo,
nakuba babefudula benemihlaba ebizwa ngabo.
12Umntu akanako ukukuphepha ukufa ngokuba esisinhanha.
Hayi bo! Uyatshabalala njengezilwanyana.
13Nâso ke isiphelo sabasweli-kuqonda,
abo bakhohliswa ziingcinga zabo.
14Bamiselwe ukufa njengeegusha;
bona baxhatshazwa kukufa.
Bathi ngqo behlele engcwabeni,
onke amathambo abo avuthuluke,
kuba kaloku bona abasekho.
15Ke mna ke, uThixo uya kundikhulula;
uya kundihlangula andithathele kuye.
16Sukuxhala wakubona umntu ehluma,
wakubona ubutyebi bakhe bukhula.
17Akanakuhamba nabo xa afayo;
ubutyebi buya kusala ngasemva.
18Nakuba ebezicingela ukuba wonwabile ngokuya ebesaphila,
nokuba ebenconywa ngempumelelo,
19wohamba aye kuhlala namanyange
angaze abonane nokukhanya.
20Umntu osisinhanha, kodwa engenangqiqo,
uyafana nje nezilwanyana ezi zitshabalalayo.
