1 “Xa kunamhlanje-nje sendisisigculelo nakubafana abayise bendingabazele nto,ebendingeze ndabashiya nezinja zam ezalusa iigusha.
2 Bebeligquba nje ekungekho yalo,amabhetye-bhetye angenakwenza nto tu!
3 Bangamahlwempu alambayo, ahamba ngobusuku,ufike enqunquda iingcambu emqwebedwini phaya.
4 Balamba kangangokuba ungafika besimba iinqoba emqwebedwini,bade batye neengcambu zemithi.
5 Abantu babagxothile phakathi kwabo;basuke babahewula bangathi bachil' isela!
6 Kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba baye kuhlala emiqolombeni,emingxunyeni, nasezimfanteni emaweni.
7 Bakhonya phakathi kwamatyholo,ufike sebethe buthalala phantsi kwemithi.
8 Awu, ziinjubaqa;sisizukulwana soongantweni eside sagxothwa nakwelakowazo!
9 “Ngoku ke sebendicabela nasezingomeni zabo;ewe, sendisisimbo nesigculelo sabo.
10 Ewe, ngoku bandidelile, bayandenyanya;bathi bangandibona banditshicele ebusweni!
11 Ngenxa yokuba uThixo undiyekele ndatsho ndangugqush' eluthulini,nabo ke ngoku baziqhawule iintambo zokulawulwa ndim.
12 Ngasekunene bafunzela ukundihlasela belihlokondiba;ewe, bayandijoka, futhi sebezimisele ukundihlabanisela.
13 Bayandiqhiwulela endleleni, befuna ukundigqiba,besithi: ‘Akanabani ongamncedayo.’
14 Bandihlasela ngathi batyhoboza kwindawo ebanzi;baphoseka kum becanda amabhodlo.
15 Ngoku ke sendirhawulwe kukunkwantya;isidima sam sivuthuluke ngathi siyavuthelwa,ukukhuseleka kwam kubhange oku komfankungu.
16 “Ngoku ndisebugxwayibeni,kuba imihla yenkathazo indibambile.
17 Ebusuku ndiqaqanjelwa nangamathambo la;iintlungu ezindidlayo azipheli.
18 Ndigxavulwa ngeempahla zokunxiba, ndidlakazeliswe;ndiyakrwitshwa sisambatho, ndibanjwe ngobhongwana.
19 UThixo undiphose eludakeni;andisento, sendifana nothuli nothuthu.
20 Ndiba ngakhala ndikubongoza, akundiphenduli;ndiba ngazibika kuwe, akundihoyi.
21 Wena ngoku ujike wandikhohlakalela,undihlasela ngengalo yakho enamandla.
22 Uyandiphakamisa undiyekele ngomoya undibhudle;ndiyaqotha-qotheka ndiqwengwa sisaqhwithi.
23 Ndiyaqonda ke ukuba undinikezela ekufeni,apho baya kuphelela khona bonke abaphilayo.
24 “Kambe akukho hlwempu elizibikayo endingalincedanga,nditsho elaliphakamisela izandla kum licela uncedo.
25 Andithi na kaloku ndandilila kunye nabasezingxakini,umphefumlo wam udandatheka ngenxa yamahlwempu?
26 Mna ndithe ndijonge okuhle kwathi gqi okubi;bendilindele ukukhanya, suka kwathi nyalulu ubumnyama.
27 Ndithiwe fithi lunxunguphalo, alundiphe thuba;imihla ngemihla ndihlangatyezwa yinkathazo.
28 Ukukhanya akukho, ndihamba ndigutyungelwe bubumnyama;into endiyenzayo embizweni kukuzibika.
29 Ngoku sendingumlingane woodyakalashe;ewe, ndiliqabane leenciniba.
30 Ulusu lwam selujike lwamnyama, futhi luyaxobuka,ibe ke nomzimba wam lo uyagcadeka.
31 Ihapu yam ngoku seyijike yaba yeyesililo,nefluthi yam ngoku seyisenza isijwili.”
