URHABAKHUKHU 2
2
1Ngizakujama esithaleni sami
ngibe sesiqongolweni somthangala.
Ngizakuqalisisa ngibone
bonyana uSomnini uzokuthini kimi;
nokuthi uzakuphendula
athini ekunghonghoyileni kwamokhu.
USomnini wembula okuzakwehlela iinkhohlakali
2USomnini wangiphendula wathi:
“Tlola isambulwesi phasi
sibonakale kuhle emqebethwini
ukuze sifundeke lula.
3Ngambala isambulwesi sizakuzaliseka
ngesikhathi esifaneleko;
sikhuluma ngesiphetho,
angeze savuka simamala.
Nanyana siriyada nje, silindele,
sizakuzaliseka nakanjani, angeze besiriyade.
4“Tlola uthi,
‘Ongakalungi uzakubhubha,
kodwana olungileko uzakuphila ngokukholwa kwakhe.
5Ngambala, umnono uyamkhohlisa ozikhukhumezako
begodu angeze aphumelela;
umarhamaru njengethuna,
urhiribidela njengokufa;
ubuthelela izizwe zoke kuye,
athumbe boke abantu.’
6“Ngambala, izizwe zizamphendula ihlaya,
zimtlhorholoje ngokumvuma ingoma zithi,
‘Uzazizwa loyo ozidindelela iimpahla zokwetjiwa,
azinjingisa ngobugirikijani!
Kuzabe kube nini kulokho kwenzeka na?’
7Ngambala, abakuhlawulako bazakururhuluka,
abakuthuthumelisako bakuvukele, bakuthumbe.
8Wena waphanga izizwe ezinengi;
yeke abantu boke bazakuphanga.
Bazakuphanga ngombana nawe waphalaza
iingazi zabantu,
wabhubhisa iinarha namadorobho
naye woke umuntu ohlala lapho.
9“Uzazizwa loyo ohlawulisa ngobugirikijani,
bona azakhele umuzi ophephileko.
Umzakhe uzakwehlelwa manikelela.
10Isigungu osakhileko sirhubutjhe umzakho.
Ngokurhayila abantu abanengi,
waloba ipilwakho.
11Ngambala, amatje azakurhuwelela ebodeni,
ubuphaziphazi bufakaze.
12“Uzazizwa loyo owakha idorobho
ngokuphalaza iingazi,
ajamise umuzi ngobukhohlakali.
13Ngambala, uSomnini uMninimandlawoke uqunte
bonyana ukutjhabatjheka kwabantu
kube ziimvuthiso zomlilo,
nokuthi izizwe zibhidlangele ilize.
14Iye, njengelwandle lizele amanzi,
iphasi lizakuzala ilwazi,
lazise iphazimulo kaSomnini.
15“Uzazizwa loyo oseza abomakhelwana bakhe
utjwala obubukhali,
basele badakwe babehlubule
ukuze abone ububhunubhunu babo.
16Ukarekela ukurhubutjha abantu
kunobana uhlonitjhwe.
Sela nawe bewube bhunubhunu.
Ikapho esesandleni sokugoma sakaSomnini
inqophe ngakuwe,
ukuhlonipheka kwakho kuzakuba lihlazo.
17Iye, umonakalo owawenza eLibhanoni
uzakufikela
nokurhayila kwakho iimbandana kuzokwethusa
ngombana uphalaze iingazi zabantu,
wabhubhisa iinarha
namadorobho naye woke umuntu ohlala lapho.
18“Sizakubhadekela ngani isithombesibazwa
njengombana sabazwa mumuntu nje na?
Sisiza ngani isithombesibunjwa
nomfundisi wamala na?
Iye, loyo owasibumbako wethembele
emsebenzini wezandla zakhe,
ilize lakolize elingakhulumiko!
19Uzazizwa loyo othi esigodweni,
‘Phaphama!’
Nanyana athi elitjeni elingakhulumiko,
‘Vuka!’
Intwenje ingakuyala na?
Qala nje, yembeswe ngegolide nesiliva,
abeyiphili do.
20Kodwana uSomnini usethempeleni lakhe elicwengileko.
Akuthi iphasi lithi du phambi kwakhe.”
