Isixwayiso Ngowesifazane Ophingayo
1 Ndodana yami,
gcina amazwi ami,
uzilondele imiyalelo yami.
2 Gcina imiyalelo yami, uphile,
nemfundiso yami,
njengenhlamvu yeso lakho.
3 Kubophele eminweni yakho,
ukulobe esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
4Yisho kukho ukuhlakanipha uthi:
“Wena ungudadewethu,”
ubize ukuqonda, ukubize ngokuthi
yisihlobo sakho,
5 ukuze kukuvikele kowesifazane ondindayo,
nakowezizwe onamazwi athophayo.
6 Ngisefasiteleni lendlu yami,
ngalunguza ngekhethini lami,
7 ngabona phakathi kwabangenalwazi,
ngabona phakathi kwabasha insizwa engenakuqonda,
8 idlula emgwaqweni eduze negumbi lakhe,
ibheke ngasendlini yakhe;
9 kwasekuhwelela kusihlwa,
esigayegayeni sobusuku nobumnyama.
10 Bheka, owesifazane wamhlangabeza
egqokise okwesifebe, ezembozile.
11 Uyaphishaphisheka akanakuthula;
izinyawo zakhe azivumi
ukuhlala endlini yakhe,
12 manje usesemigwaqweni,
nanguya esesezigcawini,
uyacutha emajikeni wonke.
13 Uyayibamba, uyayiqabula, engenamahloni,
uthi kuyo:
14 “Namuhla ngiyenzile iminikelo yokuthula;
ngazigcwalisa izithembiso zami.
15Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ngizokuhlangabeza,
ngizofuna ubuso bakho,
manje sengikutholile.
16 Umbhede wami wendlalwe ngezindwangu zokwemboza,
nelineni laseGibhithe elinemishu.
17 Umbhede wami ngiwufafaze ngemure,
ngenhlaba nangekinamona.
18Woza sizanelise ngothando kuze kuse;
sijabule ngokuthandana.
19Indoda yami ayikho ekhaya;
ithathe uhambo olude.
20 Ithathe isikhwama semali ngesandla;
iyoze ibuye ekhaya ngokudilingana kwenyanga.”
21 Uyiphambukisa ngamazwi akhe amaningi ahehayo;
uyiyenga ngokuthopha kwezindebe zakhe.
22Iyamlandela masinyane njengenkabi iya ekuhlatshweni
nanjengenyamazane ingena esihibeni;
23 uze umcibisholo uhlabe esibindini sayo;
isheshela ogibeni njengenyoni,
ingazi ukuthi lubekelwe ukuphila kwayo.
24 Ngakho-ke bantwana, ngizweni,
nilalele amazwi aphuma emlonyeni wami.
25 Inhliziyo yakho mayingaphambukeli ezindleleni zakhe,
ungahambi emikhondweni yakhe.
26 Ubawisile abaningi, bafa;
ubulele izindimbane.
27 Indlu yakhe iyindlela
eqonde endaweni yabafileyo,
eyehlela emakamelweni okufa.
