Impendulo KaZofari
1 UZofari umNahama wasephendula wathi:
2 “Uthi amazwi wonke la angayekelwa ukuphendulwa na?
Uwawane lolu luyekelwe nje lubheda?
3 Umbhedo wakho lo ungenza abantu bathule na?
Uthi ungangakhuzwa muntu wena ukhulumela eceleni?
4 Uthi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Inkolo yami kayilansolo
njalo ngimsulwa phambi kwakho.’
5 Oh, ngize ngifise ukuthi ngabe uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma,
avule izindebe zakhe ekusola
6 akuvulele imfihlo zokuhlakanipha,
ngoba inhlakanipho yeqiniso ikabili.
Yazi lokhu:
UNkulunkulu uvele usezikhohliwe ezinye izono zakho.
7 Kambe ungayifinyelela yini imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu?
Ungaziphenya iziphetho zikaSomandla na?
8 Ziqongile ngaphezu kwamazulu, ungenzani kambe?
Zizikile kulokujula kolwandle, kuyini ongakwazi pho?
9 Ukulinganiswa kwazo kude kulomhlaba
njalo kubanzi kulolwandle.
10 Nxa engeza lapha akuphosele entolongweni
abize inkundla, ngubani ongamphikisa na?
11 Liqiniso ukuthi uyababona abantu abakhohlisayo;
njalo nxa ebona okubi, kananzeleli na?
12 Kodwa umuntu oyisithutha ngeke ahlakaniphe
njengoba ubabhemi weganga engeke azalwa ngumuntu.
13 Kodwa nxa ugxilisa inhliziyo yakho kuye
uphakamisele izandla zakho kuye,
14 nxa ulahla isono esisesandleni sakho
ungavumeli bubi buhlale ethenteni lakho,
15 lapho-ke uzabuveza ubuso bakho ungelanhloni;
uzakuma uqine ungesabi.
16 Uzalukhohlwa ngempela uhlupho lwakho,
lufike nje engqondweni njengezikhukhula ezadlulayo.
17 Impilo izakhanya kulemini enkulu,
lobumnyama buzakuba njengasekuseni.
18 Uzavikeleka, ngoba ithemba likhona;
uzakhangela ofuna khona uzuze ukuphumula uvikelekile.
19 Uzazilalela, kungekho okwethusayo,
njalo abanengi bazabe sebezisondeza kuwe.
20 Kodwa amehlo ababi azafiphala,
behluleke lokubaleka;
ithemba labo libe yikuhotsha umoya wokufa.”
