Ingoma kaDavide yoHlangulo

Ingoma ende kaDavide, eyayivunywa emva kosindiso ngalunye: ethandelwe zizintya zokufa wabiza, waza uBawo wakhe wehla ecande emsini nasesaqhwithini ukuze amtsale emanzini anzongonzongo. Wasindiswa ngenxa yokuba uBawo wakhe wayekholiswa nguye, yaye uBawo wakhe usisibane ebumnyameni bakhe.

Isahluko 22.

UDavide wathetha la mazwi engoma kuBawo wethu, mhla uBawo wethu wamsindisayo ezandleni zazo zonke iintshaba zakhe, nakwisandla sikaSawule. Wathi: UBawo wam uliwa lam, inqaba yam, umhlanguli wam. UBawo wam, iliwa lam, endizimela ngaye, ingweletshetshe yam namandla osindiso lwam, imboniselo yam nesithe lam, umsindisi wam— undisindisa elugonyamelweni. Ndibiza kuBawo wam, ofanele yindumiso, ndize ndisindiswe kwiintshaba zam. Kuba amaza okufa andigubungela; imikhukula yentshabalalo yandothusa. Izintya zelabafileyo zandithandela; izirhintyelo zokufa zandivelela. Ekubandezelekeni kwam ndabiza kuBawo wam; ndakhala kuThixo wam ndicela uncedo. Esebhotweni lakhe waliva izwi lam, saza isikhalo sam safika ezindlebeni zakhe. Waza wanyikima wagubha umhlaba; iziseko zezulu zathuthumela zanyikima, kuba ebenomsindo. Kwenyuka umsi emathatheni akhe, kwaza kwaphuma umlilo odlayo emlonyeni wakhe; amalahle avutha adangazela ephuma kuye. Walithi gca izulu wehla, kukho amafu amnyama phantsi kweenyawo zakhe. Wakhwela ikerubhi waphaphazela; wandanda emaphikweni omoya. Wenza ubumnyama baba yikhusi lakhe elimngqongileyo—amafu amnyama anemvula ezulwini. Ekukhanyeni okuphambi kwakhe kwadangazela amalahle omlilo. UBawo wam wadudumisa esezulwini; Osenyangweni wakhupha izwi lakhe. Wazixuna iintolo zakhe wabachithachitha abo bamchasayo, wagibisela umbane wabadubaduba. Yabonakala imisele yolwandle, zahlanjululwa iziseko zehlabathi ekukhalimeni kukaBawo wam, ekufutheni kwempefumlo yamathatha akhe. Wolula isandla esiphezulu wandibamba; wandirhola emanzini anzongonzongo. Wandihlangula kutshaba lwam olunamandla, kwabo bandichasayo ababenamandla kunam. Bandivelela ngemini yentlekele yam, kodwa uBawo wam waba sisixhaso sam. Wandikhuphela endaweni ebanzi; wandihlangula ngokuba wayethabatheka ndim. UBawo wam wandiphatha ngokobulungisa bam; ngokokuhlambuluka kwezandla zam wandibuyekeza. Kuba ndizigcinile iindlela zikaBawo wam; andisukanga ngenkohlakalo kuThixo wam. Onke amasiko akhe aphambi kwam; andithanga gu bucala kwimimiselo yakhe. Ndaba ngogqibeleleyo phambi kwakhe, ndazigcina ndingenasityala. Ngoko uBawo wam wandibuyekeza ngokobulungisa bam, ngokokuhlambuluka kwam emehlweni akhe. Konyanisekileyo uzibonakalisa uthembekile; kogqibeleleyo uzibonakalisa ugqibelele. Kohlambulukileyo uzibonakalisa uhlambulukile, kodwa kojibilizayo uzibonakalisa unobuqhinga. Uyabasindisa abantu abacinezelweyo, kodwa amehlo akho akwabanekratshi, ukuba ubathobe. Kuba wena usisibane sam, Bawo; ubumnyama bam ubuguqula bube kukukhanya. Ngawe ndingahlasela umkhosi; ngoBawo wam ndingatsiba udonga. Yena uBawo wam, indlela yakhe igqibelele; ilizwi likaBawo wam lingenasiphako. Ulikhaka kubo bonke abazimela ngaye. Kuba ngubani na onguThixo ngaphandle koBawo wethu? Ngubani na oliliwa ngaphandle koBawo wethu? UBawo wam uyinqaba yam enamandla; wenza indlela yam igqibelele. Wenza iinyawo zam zibe njengeenyawo zexhama, aze andimise ndikhuselekile ezindaweni eziphakamileyo. Uqeqesha izandla zam zemfazwe, ukuze iingalo zam zigobe isaphetha sobhedu. Undinikile ikhaka losindiso lwakho, ubulali bakho bundenze mkhulu. Uyibanzisile indlela phantsi kwam, ukuze amaqatha am angatyibiliki. Ndazisukela iintshaba zam, ndazitshabalalisa; andibuyanga umva zide zaphela. Ndazigqiba ndazityumza zada azaba nako ukuvuka; zawa phantsi kweenyawo zam. Wandixhobisa ngamandla emfazweni; wenza ababandezeli bam baqubude phantsi kwam. Wenza iintshaba zam zandinikela ikhosi zabaleka, abo bandithiyileyo ndabatshabalalisa. Zakhangela, kodwa kwakungekho namnye wokuzisindisa— ewe nakuBawo wam, kodwa akabaphendulanga. Ndazicola njengothuli lomhlaba; ndazityumza ndazinyathela njengodaka ezitratweni. Wandihlangula embambanweni yabantu bam; wandigcina ndiyintloko yeentlanga; abantu endingabaziyo bayandikhonza ngoku. Abasemzini bayathotha phambi kwam; bakuva nje, bayandithobela. Abasemzini batha amandla; beza begubha bephuma ezimboniselweni zabo. Uyaphila uBawo wam! Malibongwe iLiwa lam! Makaphakanyiswe uBawo wam, iLiwa losindiso lwam! NguBawo wam ondiphindezelelayo, athobe izizwe phantsi kwam. Undikhupha ezintshabeni zam. Undiphakamisile ngaphezu kwababandezeli bam; wandihlangula endodeni engonyamelayo. Ngenxa yoko ndiya kukudumisa phakathi kweentlanga, Bawo; ndiya kuvuma indumiso egameni lakho. Umnika uloyiso olukhulu ukumkani wakhe, abonakalise inceba kumthanjiswa wakhe, kuDavide nakwimbewu yakhe ngonaphakade.
