Ukuguruzela komphakathi
1Maye mina!
Nginjengomuntu ofunana namadiribe
angawagoma sele kuvuniwe.
Ngifunana namakhiwani sele athintithekile.
2Kunjalo-ke ukufunana nomuntu olungileko enarheni
nomuntu kaZimu phakathi kwabantu.
Boke baqothele ukuphalaza iingazi,
omunye nomunye uzumana nendlela
yokugolana nomfowabo ngenede.
3Iinkhulu zakhona zamukela umlandu ngokukhongozela;
abagwebi bakhupha iingwebo ngokufunjathiswa;
ngitjho nomgwebi omkhulu akanabulilelo ugweba umathanda.
4Loyo okuthiwa ngongcono kunabo uhlaba njengomunga,
nokuthiwa ulunge khulu unjengesibuya sameva.
Imini yokuhlunguphazwa kwabo seyifikile,
ababalaleleko bazababamba.
Nje-ke bazazizwa inga bayatjha.
5Ungamethembi umakhelwana,
ungabeki ithemba lakho emnganinakho;
ngitjho nanyana kungaba ngotjhidelene kangangani nawe,
ulonde ikulumakho.
6Ngombana indodana inyaza uyise,
indodakazi iphikisana nonina,
umalukazana ukhombana nonosokana ngomuno.
Izitha zomuntu kuba babantu bekhabo.
7Kodwana mina ngiqalelela uSomnini ngethemba,
ngilinda uZimu uMsindisami,
uZimami uzangitjheja.
Isiphorofido esijamelene ne-Asiriya
8Ungabukisi ngami wena sitha sami!
Nanyana ngiwile nje,
kodwana ngizakuvuka.
Nanyana ngihlezi ebumnyameni nje,
kodwana uSomnini uzakuba kukhanya kwami.
9Ngebanga lokobana ngitjhaphele uSomnini,
ngizakugugubala ngaphasi kobukhali bakhe,
bekube kumhla angikhupha emlandwini;
mhlana abuyisa ilungelo lami.
Uzangikhuphela ekukhanyeni;
ngizakubona ukulunga kwakhe.
10Yeke isitha sami sizakubona lokhu
bese siphathwa ziinhloni,
njengombana sathi kimi:
“Uphi-ke uSomnini uZimakho?”
Ngizasiqalela phasi;
yeke sizakugadangwa njengedaka eendledlaneni.
11Imini yokuqinisa imithangalakho izakufika –
imini yokurhayilwa ngesihlungu.
12Mhlokho umdlelezelakho uzakufika
azabele wena Asiriya namadorobhakho.
Uzakufika azabele iingcenye zoke zenarhakho;
iye, ukusuka emlanjeni ukuya emlanjaneni
nokusuka entabeni ukuya entatjaneni.
13Inarha izakuba libhudu
ngebanga lezenzo zabahlali bayo.
Umthandazo wokubuyiselwa kweendawo zakwa-Israyeli
14Somnini, yelusa abantu bakho ngentongakho,
umhlambi welifa lakho.
Uwuvikele emahlathini weentaba zeKarameli;
uvumele udle eBhatjhani neGiliyadi njengekadeni.
15Benze babone imikarisomraro,
njengamhlana wena Somnini ubakhupha eGibhide.
16Izizwe zizakubona lokhu bese ziyakhena,
kuphele ukuthi zona zinamandla.
Zizakuvala imilomo yazo ngezandla,
zivaleke iindlebe.
17Abantwaba bazakurhurhuba njengenyoka;
bakhase njengeembandana ehlabathini.
Bazakuphuma batatazela erholweni labo;
bahlengezele phambi kwakho Somnini Zimethu,
bazakwesaba ngebanga lakho.
18Ngubani uZimu onjengawe,
othethelela isono,
ongayeleli imitjhapho yeendlalifa zakhe,
nonganamavunda kodwana othabela ukwethembeka,
19ozasirhawukela godu,
agadangele izono zethu
ngaphasi kwenyawo na?
Iye, uzakujikijela yoke imitjhapho
yabantu bakho ekuzikeni kwelwandle.
20Uzakuba ngoqinisileko kuJakopo
nothembekileko ku-Abrahamu,
njengombana wafunga kibobaba ekadeni.
