₂Koda kube nini na, *Ndikhoyo,

ndidanduluka ndisithi: “Nceda!”

ube wena uthe cwaka?

Koda kube nini na ndizibika kuwe ndisithi: “Ugonyamelo!”

ube wena ungahlanguli?

₃Yini na ukuba undibonise inkohlakalo?

Ngani ukuba ujongane nobugwenxa?

Naku sendiphahlwe yimbubho nogonyamelo;

imbambano nesidube-dube zixananazile.

₄Okwakungumthetho sekuyingxwelerha;

ke bona ubulungisa abuvakali ndawo.

Izikhohlakali zidobelel' amalungisa;

ke bona ubulungisa buyagqwethwa.

₅“Khanizikhangele izizwe nibukele:

ewe, nosuka nikhwankqiswe,

kuba kuyo le mihla yenu ndiza kwenza isimanga,

into eningasoze niyikholelwe noba ningade niyibaliselwe.

₆Kaloku ndiza kuvusa amaKaledi,

uhlanga olugenalusini noluzizityhuthu-tyhuthu,

izinto ezilityhutyha ngobubanzi balo ilizwe,

zithimbe imizi engeyoyazo.

₇Hayi kambe ukoyikeka kweso sizwe!

Zizinto ezenza unothanda;

ewe, aphuhlisa isidima sawo.

₈Ziintw' ezimahashe ashiy' ihlosi;

oyikeka ngaphezu kweengcuka zamarhatya.

Iinkweli-mahashe zawo zifunz' emsini;

ewe, ngabafo abaphuma ekudeni.

Ziintw' ezirhiwula ngathi lukhozi,

₉zifike zizele lugonyamelo;

izinto ezizilahlela mpela kwinjongo yazo,

ziqokelel' intimbo ngathi yintlabathi.

₁₀Iikumkani ahlekisa ngazo;

bona abalawuli ayabagcolodela.

Ke zona iinqaba awazazele nto;

enza iinduli zokuhlasela azithimbe.

₁₁Asisitshu esigqotsa njengomoya;

ngoonomatyala abanqula amandla abo.”

₁₂Akunguye na owamandulo, *Ndikhoyo,

Thixo wam, wena Yedwa wam?

Ke thina asiyi kufa.

Ndikhoyo, amaKaledi uwamisele ukuze usigwebe ngawo;

Ngxondorha yam, wena uwabekele ukusohlwaya ngawo.

₁₃Kaloku amehlo akho amsulwa,

akangede ajongane nobubi,

ungenako nokunyamezela ubugwenxa.

Ngani ukuba ubabukele abakreqi?

Kutheni wathi cwaka xa kunje,

xa izikhohlakali ziginya abantu abangamalungisa kunazo?

₁₄Kutheni abantu ubafanisa neentlanzi?

Ngani kuwe babe njengezinambuzane ezingenamlawuli?

₁₅Kaloku xa bebonke amaKaledi abatsala ngehaki;

ewe, ababambisa ngomnatha.

Nango ebaqokelela ebarhuqa,

nto leyo iwavuyisa ngochulumacho.

₁₆Loo mnatha ke awenzela amadini,

umnatha otsalwayo awenzele isiqhumiso.

Kaloku ethe gcobho nje, ngulo mnatha;

ngenxa yawo atya ooni nooni.

₁₇Ngaba ohlala eqongqotha umnatha,

etshabalalisa izizwe engenalusini?

₁Ndophuma ndime emboniselweni yam,

ndothi ngxishi phaya enqabeni,

ndibonisele ndive oko akuthethayo kum,

nempendulo yakhe kwisimangalo sam.

₂*UNdikhoyo undiphendule esithi:

“Wubhale lo mbono –

wukrole ngokucacileyo emacwecweni,

ube nokufundwa nangogqitha ebaleka.

₃Lo mbono ubhekiselele kwixesha elimisiweyo,

kwaye uxhinele ixesha lesiphelo,

ibe ke awuyi kuphosisa.

Noba ngathi uyalibazisa, wulindele;

ewe, uya kufika ngokuqinisekileyo ungenakuthintelwa nto.

₄“Uyabona, lowo ukhukhumeleyo unentliziyo embi enxaxhileyo;

ke yena olilungisa wophila ngokuthembeka kwakhe.

₅Yona iwayini iyakhohlisa;

umntu imenza azidle angazinzi.

Sisinyolu-nyolu esikhamise njengengcwaba,

nqwa nokufa soze ahluthe,

nokuba uzihlanganisela kuye zonke iintlanga,

azibuthele kuye izizwe zonke.

₆“Abazi kuphoxisa ngaye kodwa,

bahlekise ngaye bemenza isigculelo,

besithi: ‘Mawoo ke, maqokelel' okungekuko okwakho,

wena ozityebisa ngokuphanga impahla ekubanjiswe ngayo!

Yaz'ba koda kube nini na kunje?’

₇Abanamatyala kuwe bosuka bakuvukele ngequbuliso;

bokujikela bakutsho ungcangcazele,

ibe nguwe kanye lowo uphangwayo.

₈Kaloku uxhaphaze izizwe ezininzi;

wena ke woxhatshazwa ngamasalela azo.

Kaloku uliphalazile igazi lomntu;

ewe, uyitshabalisile imihlaba,

wabhuq' iidolophu nabemi bazo.

₉“Mawoo kowakha umzi ngenzuzo yobuqhophololo,

ayimise indlu yakhe kwiindawo eziphezulu

ukuze asinde nakweyiphi inkxwaleko.

₁₀Uzifuthele imbubho izizwe ezininzi,

nkqu nendlu yakho wayigalela ngehlazo,

wabeka ubomi bakho esichengeni.

₁₁Amatye odonga osuka abhomboloze,

imiqadi yophahla ithelele.

₁₂“Mawoo kowakha isixeko ngokuphalaza igazi,

kulowo useka iidolophu ngobugwenxa!

₁₃Akatshongo na uNdikhoyo uSomandla

ukuthi imigudu yeentlanga lilifa lomlilo?

Nezizwe ke zifumana zibulaleka.

₁₄Ke wona umhlaba uya kuphuphuma kukubuqonda ubungangamsha bukaNdikhoyo,

okwamanzi agubungele ulwandle.

₁₅“Mawoo ububi bomntu oseza ummelwane wakhe,

lowo umkhelela utywala kumphanda wakhe,

amseze ade ayayatheke kukunxila,

aze ke abukele ihlazo lobuze bakhe.

₁₆Uya kugutyungelwa lihlazo, ingebubo ubungangamsha.

Nawe sela unxile ugxadazele.

Iyahamba ibhekile yomgwebo kaNdikhoyo;

yofika nakuwe,

ubungangamsha bakho bugutyungelwe lihlazo.

₁₇Ugonyamelo olwenze eLebhanon lokufikela;

uya kunkwantya yimbubho oyenzele izilwanyana.

Kaloku uliphalazile igazi labantu;

ewe, uyitshabalalisile imihlaba,

wabhuq' iidolophu nabemi bazo.

₁₈“Unaxabiso lini umfanekiso,

into eqingqwe yingcibi?

Sinceda ntoni isithixo esifundisa inkohliso?

Umenzi waso uqamela ngobuchule,

aze enze into engathethiyo.

₁₉Mawoo kothi emthini: ‘Vuka!’

othetha nelitye elifileyo, athi: ‘Phakama!’

Ungakufundisa ntoni umfanekiso,

into etyatyekwa ngegolide nesiliva?

Hayi, ayinamphefumlo tu!

₂₀Ke yena uNdikhoyo usendlwini yakhe engcwele;

malithi cwaka phambi kwakhe lonke ihlabathi.”

₂*Ndikhoyo, ndiluvile udaba olungawe;

ewe, ndithe khamnqa zizenzo zakho.

Nakule mihla yethu khawuhlaziye loo misebenzi yakho yamandulo;

ewe, ukusebenza kwakho

makubonakale nakule yethu iminyaka.

Nokuba unomsindo, mus' ukuyilibala inceba yakho.

₃UThixo uyeza ephuma eTeman;

uYedwa uvela kwintaba iParan.

Ubuqaqawuli bakhe bambathisa amazulu;

ihlabathi lizele ludumo lwakhe.

₄Ukuqaqamba kwakhe kunjengokukhanya;

isandla sakhe siphanjwa yimitha;

azimel' apho amandla akhe.

₅Yaba sisibetho phambi kwakhe;

emkhondweni wakhe wee chu ubhubhani.

₆Uthi angema lishukum' ihlabathi,

azijonge zitsho zinkwantye izizwe.

Iintaba zamandulo ziyaqhaqhamba;

iinduli zakudala zona ziyatshona.

Ewe, le yindlela yakhe yasephakadeni.

₇Ndibona iintente zakwaKushan zisenkathazweni,

izikhuselo zelizwe lakwaMidiyan zingcangcazela.

₈Ucatshukiswa yimilambo na, Ndikhoyo?

Ngaba uqunjiswa ziintlambo na?

Ngaba wenziwa umsindo lulwandle na,

le nto uqhuba amahashe akho nje,

ukhwele kwiinqwelo zakho zoloyiso?

₉Wena utyhila isaphetha sakho,

uziqinise ngeziqalekiso iintolo zakho,

ihlabathi uliphambe ngemilambo.

₁₀Iintaba zithi zingakubona zibhinyalaze,

imisinga yamanzi iqukuqele.

Ke zona iinzonzobila ziyagquma;

amaza ayalatyuza okwezandla eziphakanyisiweyo.

₁₁Zithi zakumenyez' iintolo zakho ezikhawulezayo,

wakuba umkhonto wakho umenye-menyeza,

suka lingabonakali ilanga nenyanga esibhakabhakeni.

₁₂Ihlabathi ulicanda unengqumbo,

nezizwe uzinyhasha unomsindo.

₁₃Uphuma uye kubahlangula abantu bakho,

ukuze usindise umthanjiswa wakho.

Uyaludiliza uphahla lomzi wabakhohlakeleyo,

kutyhileke iindonga kuye kutsho kwilitye lesiseko.

₁₄Uyigwaza ngomkhonto wayo inkokheli,

bakuba abomkhosi wayo bephume okoqhwithela beze kusisarhaza,

bezidla ngathi bobaqwenga ngasese abahlelelekileyo.

₁₅Ugxampuza elwandle ngamahashe akho,

aze ayaluzele amanzi amaninzi.

₁₆Ndithe ndakuva satsho saxuxuzela isisu sam,

imilebe yatsho yabebezela;

amathambo atsho angenelwa yimpehla,

nemilenze yam yasuka yagevezela.

Kambe ke ndowulinda ngomonde umhla wenkxwaleko;

nditsho umhla oya kufikela olu hlanga lusihlaselayo.

₁₇Noba ungade ungadubuli umkhiwane,

umdiliya ungabi nazo neziqhamo,

nokuba awungevelisi nto umnquma,

namasimi ngokwawo angabi nasivuno,

zingade zingabikho iigusha esibayeni,

nobuhlanti bungabi nazo nazinkomo,

₁₈ewe, khona kungade kube njalo,

kodwa mna ndochwayita kuNdikhoyo,

ndibe nemihlali kuThixo ondisindisayo.

₁₉Amandla am nguMhlekazi uNdikhoyo;

uzenza iinyawo zam zibe njengezenxala;

ngaye ndihamba kweziphezulu iindawo.
