IINDUMISO 22

₁Thixo wam, Thixo wam, undishiyeleni na?

Kudala ndizigixa, ndicel' uncedo,

kodwa andikalufumani unangoku!

₂Thixo wam, emini ndikhalela kuwe, kodwa akundiva.

Nasebusuku ndiyakhala,

ndingafumani kuphumla phezu koko.

₃Kambe wena ungqendeve phakathi kwabakudumisayo;

nditsho wena ngangamela yakwaSirayeli.

₄Babekholose ngawe ookhokho bethu;

babekuthembile, wabahlangula wena.

₅Bakhala kuwe, wabakhulula wena;

babethembele ngawe, akwabadanisa.

₆Ke mna andimntu, ndifana nqwa nombungu;

ndiyintlekisa ebantwini, ndideliwe luluntu.

₇Bonk' abandibonayo bayandigxwala;

bandinyevulele, bahlunguzelis' intloko besithi:

₈“Ubethembele *kuNdikhoyo, makamhlangule kaloku;

makamkhulule ukuba uyamthanda.”

₉Kanti ke nguwe owawundikhusele kwasekuzalweni kwam,

wandilondoloza ndisesemabeleni kama.

₁₀Ndahlulelwa wena kwasekuzalweni kwam;

ubunguThixo wam wena ndingekazalwa.

₁₁Mus' ukuba kude kum.

Kaloku sele isemnyango imbandezelo;

ibe akukho namnye ongandincedayo.

₁₂Zindingqongile iintshaba zam,

ngathi ziinkunz' ezomeleleyo zaseBhashan;

zindivelele macal' onke.

₁₃Zikhamisile, zindivulel' imilomo;

ziyandijamela zixel' ingonyam' egqumayo.

₁₄Ndiphelelwe; amandla aphalele njengamanzi,

ahlukene onke amathambo am,

intliziyo yam iyanyibilika ngathi ngumthwebeba.

₁₅Aphele mpel' amandla kum,

ulwimi lwam lunamathel' ezinkalakahleni,

undishiy' eluthulini njengofileyo.

₁₆Lindirhawul' igquba labantw' abagwenxa,

ndangathi ndirhangqwe ligqiza lezinja;

bandidlavul' izandla neenyawo,

₁₇ngoko ke amathambo am aphandle.

Ke zona iintshaba zam zibukele.

₁₈Babelana ngeengubo zam;

benzelan' amaqashiso ngesambatho sam.

₁₉Ke wena, Ndikhoyo, mus' ukuba kude nam;

Mkhululi wam, khawuleza undincede!

₂₀Ndihlangule ekreleni,

undisindise kwezi zinja.

₂₁Ndihlangule emlonyeni wengonyama;

ndisindise kulo mngcipheko ndikuwo.

₂₂Ndowabalisela amawethu ngezint' ozenzileyo,

ndikubonge ebandleni, ndithi:

₂₃“Mbongen' uNdikhoyo, nina bamhlonelayo;

mdumiseni nonke, nina bonyana bakaYakobi;

mhloneleni nonke, nina nzala kaSirayeli!

₂₄Kaloku akazideli engazicekisi iintsizi zehlwempu;

uyaziva izicelo zalo, angalifulatheli.”

₂₅Ndiya kukubonga esidlangalaleni,

ngenxa yezinto ondenzele zona;

ndowafezekisa amadinga endawenzayo,

phambi kwebandla lâbo bakuthobelayo.

₂₆Amahlwempu aya kutya ahluthe mpu;

bombonga uNdikhoyo abo bamfunayo.

Banga banganempumelelo engapheliyo.

₂₇Zonke izizwe zomkhumbula uNdikhoyo,

zibuyele kuye ehlabathini liphela,

ziqubude kuye zonke iintlanga.

₂₈Kaloku nguNdikhoyo ukumkani;

nguye umlawuli weentlanga zonke.

₂₉Ewe, zonk' izinhanha ziya kudlelana, zimvume yena;

nditsho yonk' intw' engumntu iya kumnqul' uNdikhoyo.

₃₀Izizukulwana ziya kumkhonza,

ooyise babalisele abazukulwana ngoNdikhoyo.

₃₁Ewe, nâbo bangekazalwa boxelelwa

ukuba uNdikhoyo wabasindisa abantu bakhe.
