Mnt’ omnyama

Uyingweletshetshe, iqhawe, ikroti, ingonyama nomoyisi, mnt’ omnyama.
Wena onobumnyama obothus’ ilanga bukhuphe ithunzi elinesithozela
Mnt’ omnyama, uphi onjengawe?
Ungoyena mntu ndimaziyo womeleleyo!

Waadlula emlilweni wocalucalulo.
Usilwa ugqushalaza uxel’ isikhukukazi sibona ukhetsha ezoqwengw’ amantshontsho.
Sithi aba simile namhlanje ngenxa yokunikela ngobomi bakho,
Ngenxa yokuzincama kwakho wafela isizukulwana sethu

Ewe nina babenibamba, benithimba, beningcungcuthekisa,
Nina babenihlaza, nirhuqelwa isidima eludakeni
Nina bookhokho bethu,
Enani tambata ngenyawo nisilwa amabhulu namangesi
Nditsho nani bantu bethu bomoya,
Enabulalelwa ukudlulisa imiyalezo yabaphantsi
Ewe, nina magorha ethu enalwelwa isizwe sakwaNtu
Babenizingela njengezilwanyana.
Benixhokonxa, benikorhola, benithuthumbisa
Kodwa naphila kunjalo!

Mfihlelo ini enaninayo?
Ayingawo amandla omonde, nethemba?
Nijonga ukuba ingomso liniphatheleni
Asikuko na ukukholwa ukuba zonke izinto zobuya zilunge?
Sitsho amandla okuqhankqalaza, ningavumi ukucinezelwa ezweni lenu
Ewe amandla okuba nesibindi sokubamba iintlangano zokupolitika,
Nina nabamb’ ibhazuka yaseRashiya, nevolovolo laseTyhubha!
Naba namandla okuvisa utshaba intlungu ekudala nani niyiva
Nalulwa, naloyisa, nalupha nxolo olwalungabafanelanga, ngoba ningabantu bobuntu
Bubo ke obo ubuthixo benu, Bantu, nzala kaNtu

Ke? Ayinini ookhokho bethu na?
Anizizo izinyanya zethu, kwisini na?
Asililo igazi lenu elibaleka emithanjeni yethu na?
Ingaba asizontsana zenu yini na?
Kanti asisiso isizukulwana enasilwelwayo thina na?
Ngoko ke. Sinawo nathi lo mandla nani nawo

Sinabo ubugorha nobukroti enaninabo!
Nathi sinaso isibindi enaninaso!
Kwaye siyifumene inkululeko  enayilwelwa!
Sikhululekile kumatyathanga namaqhina kaBotha
UVelavuthe akaphumelelanga tuu kwaphela
Nina magorha ethu

Lo nto ke sithe chatha ukuba nezixhobo kunani booyisekazi
Utshaba sisalulwa nanamhlanje
Intlupheko, ubuqaba, ubuqhophololo, ubusela, impatho mbi yabasetyhini
Silwa neziyunguma ezigqiba ulutsha lwethu
Iindywala, iziyobisi, ubundlobongela nobugwinta

Silwelwa imfundo efikeleleka kuluntu lonke
Ukuvulelwa kwabantu bonke amasango amaziko ezempilo
Sigwayimbela ukuvuzwa kwabantu ngendlela eyiyo eluxilongweni
Siqhanqalazela amalungelo abantwana, eenkonde neenkondekwazi
Simela abantu abayimilwelwe, umlisela nomthinjana
Iintsana ezingenako kuzilwelwa, siyazivikela kububi balo mhlaba
Sisebenzisa amandla enasishiya nawo, sithatha apho nayeka khona
Ekugqibeleli kuzakuvunywa ukuba iAfrika likhaya.
Ikhaya lawo wonke umntu ophilila kuyo!

UMzantsi Afrika yabo bonke abantu abaphila kuyo, abantsundu nabamhlophe!

Imbongi ayinatyala, ibhodla ekuphakiweyo. Rhabula apha ke wena, ungafinci
