Umkhuleko KaHana

1 UHana wasekhuleka esithi:

"Inhliziyo yami iyathokoza kuThixo;

kuThixo uphondo lwami luphakeme.

Umlomo wami uyaziklolodela izitha zami,

ngoba ngiyathokoza ekusindiseni kwakho.

2 Kakho ongcwele njengoThixo;

kakho omunye ngaphandle kwakho;

akulaDwala elinjengo-Nkulunkulu wethu.

3 Lingabe lisakhuluma ngokuzigqaja kanje

loba uyekele umlomo wakho ukhuluma ukuzikhukhumeza okunje,

ngoba uThixo unguNkulunkulu owaziyo,

njalo izenzo zilinganiswa nguye.

4 Amadandili amabutho ephukile,

kodwa labo abakhubekayo bahlonyiswe ngamandla.

5 Labo ababesuthi baziqhatshisa ngokudla,

kodwa labo ababelambile kabalambi futhi.

Lowo owayeyinyumbakazi usezele abantwana abayisikhombisa,

kodwa lowo owayelamadodana amanengi uyacikizeka.

6 Uthixo uletha ukufa njalo enze ukuphila,

wehlisela phansi engcwabeni njalo avuse.

7 Uthixo uthumela ubuyanga kanye lenotho;

uyathobekisa njalo uyaphakamisa.

8 Uvusa abayanga ethulini

aphakamise abaswelayo esilotheni;

abahlalise lamakhosana.

Enze bathole isihlalo sodumo sibe yilifa labo.

Ngoba izisekelo zomhlaba ngezikaThixo;

umise umhlaba phezu kwazo.

9 Uzalondoloza inyawo zabathembekileyo bakhe,

kodwa ababi bazathuliselwa emnyameni.

Akusikho ngamandla ukuthi umuntu ehlule;

10 labo abaphikisa uThixo bazaphahlazwa.

OPhezukonke uzaduma amelane labo esezulwini;

uThixo uzakwahlulela imikhawulo yomhlaba.

Uzayinika amandla inkosi yakhe

aphakamise lophondo logcotshiweyo wakhe."
