Ingoma yokubonga

1 Yizani sombelele *uNdikhoyo,

simculele sigcobile umkhuseli nomsindisi wethu!

2 Masiye kuye sinombulelo,

simombelele iingoma zokubonga.

3 Kaloku uNdikhoyo nguThixo onamandla,

ngukumkani omkhulu *kwizithixo zonke.

4 Lisesandleni sakhe ihlabathi liphela;

iinzulu neencopho zilawulwa nguye.

5 Ulawula ulwandle kuba walwenza;

nomhlaba wawudala ngezandla zakhe.

6 Yizani siqubude simnqule,

siguqe phambi koNdikhoyo umdali wethu,

7 kuba yena nguThixo wethu.

Thina singumhlambi awalusayo,

iigusha ezondliwa nguye.

Namhla liveni ilizwi lakhe elithi:

8 “Musan’ ukuba neenkani,njengookhokho benu eMeribha,

njengemihla yaseMasa entlango,

9 apho bandilingayo,

naxa babezibona izinto endandibenzela zona.

10 Iminyaka emashumi mane bandikruqula,

ndada ndathi: ‘Hay’ ukungeva kwabo;

abayithobeli imiyalelo yam.’

11 Ngoko ke ndafunga ngomsindo, ndathi:

‘Abasoze bangene ekuphumleni kwam.’ ”
