Sefela sa Lifela
Lirope tsa hao tse ntle li tšoana le mekhabiso
E entsoeng ke setsebi sa mesebetsi ea matsoho.
2 Mokhubu oa hao ke sekotlolo se chitja.
E se eka se ka lula se e-na le veine.
Mpa ea hao ke qubu ea koro,
E pota-potiloeng ke mehalalitoe.
4 Molala oa hao+ o joaloka tora ea lenaka la tlou.+
Nko ea hao e joaloka tora ea Lebanone,
E shebileng Damaseka.
Morena o khahloa ke moriri oa hao o lepeletseng.
6 Uena ngoanana ea ratoang, u motle haholo ’me u khahleha haholo
Ho feta lintho tsohle tse ntle.
7 U tšoana le sefate sa palema ka seemo,
Matsoele a hao a tšoana le sehlahla sa litholoana tsa palema.+
8 Ke itse: ‘Ke tla hloella sefateng sa palema
E le hore ke khe litholoana tsa sona.’
E se eka matsoele a hao a ka tšoana le sehlahla sa morara,
Lehano la hao* le nkhe hamonate joaloka liapole,
9 Molomo* oa hao o be joaloka veine e monate ka ho fetisisa.”
“E se eka e ka lelemela hamonate bakeng sa moratuoa oa ka
Joaloka veine e theohelang hamonate molomong, e etsang hore motho a robale.
11 Tloo, uena moratuoa oa ka,
Re ee masimong.
A re itulele har’a limela tsa hena.+
12 A re tsohe hoseng ’me re ee lirapeng tsa morara
E le hore re bone hore na sefate sa morara se hlometse,*
Hore na thunthung e phutholohile,+
Le hore na lifate tsa likharenate li thuntse.+
Ha re le moo ke tla u bontša hore kea u rata.+
13 Limandrake*+ li nkha hamonate,
Menyakong ea rona ho na le litholoana tse monate tsa mefuta eohle.+
Uena moratuoa oa ka, ke u boloketse
Tse ncha hammoho le tsa khale.”
