1 Nanku umthandazo *womshumayeli uHabhakuki; uvunywa okwesililo.
2 *Ndikhoyo, ndiluvile udaba olungawe;ewe, ndithe khamnqa zizenzo zakho.Nakule mihla yethu khawuhlaziye loo misebenzi yakho yamandulo;ewe, ukusebenza kwakhomakubonakale nakule yethu iminyaka.Nokuba unomsindo, mus' ukuyilibala inceba yakho.
3 UThixo uyeza ephuma eTeman;uYedwa uvela kwintaba iParan.Ubuqaqawuli bakhe bambathisa amazulu;ihlabathi lizele ludumo lwakhe.
4 Ukuqaqamba kwakhe kunjengokukhanya;isandla sakhe siphanjwa yimitha;azimel' apho amandla akhe.
5 Yaba sisibetho phambi kwakhe;emkhondweni wakhe wee chu ubhubhani.
6 Uthi angema lishukum' ihlabathi,azijonge zitsho zinkwantye izizwe.Iintaba zamandulo ziyaqhaqhamba;iinduli zakudala zona ziyatshona.Ewe, le yindlela yakhe yasephakadeni.
7 Ndibona iintente zakwaKushan zisenkathazweni,izikhuselo zelizwe lakwaMidiyan zingcangcazela.
8 Ucatshukiswa yimilambo na, Ndikhoyo?Ngaba uqunjiswa ziintlambo na?Ngaba wenziwa umsindo lulwandle na,le nto uqhuba amahashe akho nje,ukhwele kwiinqwelo zakho zoloyiso?
9 Wena utyhila isaphetha sakho,uziqinise ngeziqalekiso iintolo zakho,ihlabathi uliphambe ngemilambo.
10 Iintaba zithi zingakubona zibhinyalaze,imisinga yamanzi iqukuqele.Ke zona iinzonzobila ziyagquma;amaza ayalatyuza okwezandla eziphakanyisiweyo.
11 Zithi zakumenyez' iintolo zakho ezikhawulezayo,wakuba umkhonto wakho umenye-menyeza,suka lingabonakali ilanga nenyanga esibhakabhakeni.
12 Ihlabathi ulicanda unengqumbo,nezizwe uzinyhasha unomsindo.
13 Uphuma uye kubahlangula abantu bakho,ukuze usindise umthanjiswa wakho.Uyaludiliza uphahla lomzi wabakhohlakeleyo,kutyhileke iindonga kuye kutsho kwilitye lesiseko.
14 Uyigwaza ngomkhonto wayo inkokheli,bakuba abomkhosi wayo bephume okoqhwithela beze kusisarhaza,bezidla ngathi bobaqwenga ngasese abahlelelekileyo.
15 Ugxampuza elwandle ngamahashe akho,aze ayaluzele amanzi amaninzi.
16 Ndithe 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.
17 Noba ungade ungadubuli umkhiwane,umdiliya ungabi nazo neziqhamo,nokuba awungevelisi nto umnquma,namasimi ngokwawo angabi nasivuno,zingade zingabikho iigusha esibayeni,nobuhlanti bungabi nazo nazinkomo,
18 ewe, khona kungade kube njalo,kodwa mna ndochwayita kuNdikhoyo,ndibe nemihlali kuThixo ondisindisayo.
19 Amandla am nguMhlekazi uNdikhoyo;uzenza iinyawo zam zibe njengezenxala;ngaye ndihamba kweziphezulu iindawo.Kumbhexeshi-kwayala; ngezikhalisi ezineentambo.
