Ukubawa isindiso kuSomnini
1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lakaDavida.
2Somnini ngisindise eenkhohlakalini,
ngivikele ebantwini benturhu;
3labo abahlela okumbi eenhliziyweni zabo
nabaphehla ipi isikhathi soke.
4Balola ilimu labo
libe bukhali njengelenyoka,
eembheneni zabo
kunesihlungu serabi.
5Ngilonde, Somnini, ezandleni zeenkhohlakali;
ngivikele ebantwini benturhu,
iye, labo abasophe ukungirareja.
6Abazigqajako bangifihlele isifu,
bangibekela iinrhobelo zeentambo;
iye, endleleni yoke bangibekela iinthiyo.
7Ngathi kuSomnini: “Wena unguZimami!
Beka iindlebe elizwini lesibawo sami.
8Somnini, Somandla, msindisami onamandla,
usithe ihlokwami ngelanga lepi.
9Nje-ke Somnini,
ungaphumelelisi iimfiso zeenkhohlakali,
ungavumeli zifikelele ihlelo lazo elimbi.
Baphakamisa 10iinhloko labo abangizombileko!
Ingozi abayikhulumako ayibagubuzese!
11Kwanga amalahle avuthako
angawela phezu kwabo,
baphoselwe emlilweni,
iye, ngemgodini bangasaphuma!
12Ungavumeli onelimu alibhade enarheni;
ubumbi abuzumane nomuntu onenturhu.”
13Ngiyazi bona uSomnini uyabamela abadududu
avikele ilungelo labakhwahlileko.
14Mbala, abalungileko
bazakuthokoza ibizo lakho, Somnini
nabaqotho bazakuphila ebukhoneni bakho.
