[Southern Ndebele] Unshaken

Lyrics

[Intro — Gentle, Reverent, Building]

Oh-oh-oh, Somandla,  
Phezu komhlaba, ngaphezu kwelanga.  
Nxa konke kuqala ukuwa,  
Isihlalo sakho sihlezi phezulu.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Ubus' kuze kube phakade.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Indawo yethu yokuphepha kuhlala iqinile.



[Verse 1 — Refuge in the Storm]

Kuwe, Nkosi, umphefumulo wami uthola ukuphumula,  
Isiphephelo sami lapho ukholo lwami luhlolwa khona.  
Kungani ngibalekela phezulu,  
Njengenyoni ezithukutheleyo ebusuku?

Nxa ingozi ithulethi, "Balekani,"  
Ubukhona bakho bunginika amandla okuhlala.  
Ukuzethemba kwami akusekuthutheni,  
Kodwa kuJehova, ukukhanya kwami okusindisayo.



[Verse 2 — Arrows in the Darkness]

Bheka ababi bedonsa izikhali zabo,  
Imicibisholo yabo ibheke lapho kungaziwa khona.  
Bafihle ngaphansi kwesikhumba sobusuku,  
Bazingela izinhliziyo ezihamba ngobuqotho.

Nxa iqiniso lisongelwa, ukulunga kudwengulwa,  
Nxa izisekelo zonke zibonakala zigonakele,  
Izinhliziyo ezilungile zikhala, "Kusale ini?"  
Amandla akho aphezulu asasekela.



[Pre-Chorus — Faith Above Fear]

Nxa umhlaba ngaphansi kwethu uzamazama,  
Nxa umhlaba osizungezile ucekelwa phansi,  
Uhlala njalo, uqinisile,  
Konke ukwethemba kwethu kukuwe.



[Chorus — Unshaken]

Aqine, aqine,  
Isihlalo sakho soze siwe!  
Phezu kwezulu, ubusa,  
Uyabona futhi usahlulela sonke.

Aqine, aqine,  
Isiphephelo sethu ebusuku.  
Nxa zonke izisekelo zomhlaba ziwe,  
Ume ekukhanyeni okungcwele.

Oh-oh-oh, kuze kube phakade ubusa,  
Ngomlilo, ngemvula.  
Aqine, aqine,  
UNkulunkulu wethu uhlala efanayo!



[Verse 3 — The Holy Throne]

Esikhundleni sakho esingcwele,  
Ubusa ngobukhosi nomusa.  
Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sidlula izulu,  
Akukho okufihlekile okubalekayo emehlweni akho.

Uhlola ukujula komphefumulo wonke,  
Yonke imicabango efihlekile, yonke injongo efihlekile.  
Ayikho inhliziyo yomuntu ebalekayo emehlweni akho,  
Uyalinganisa izindlela zethu ekukhanyeni okuphelele.



[Verse 4 — The Testing of Hearts]

Abalungile nabangalungile baphansi kokubheka kwakho,  
Izinhliziyo zabo zembulwa ngaphansi kwezibani zakho.  
Uhlola abathembekile, ubufakazi bezindlela zabo,  
Ngezilingo, uhlanza izingoma zabo zokudumisa.

Kodwa labo abathanda izenzo ezinesihluku,  
Izinhliziyo zabo zijabula lapho abanye bephazanyiswa,  
Isimo sakho esingcwele siyaphenduka,  
Ngoba ubudlova abunakuhlangana nendlela yakho.



[Pre-Chorus — The Righteous Judge]

Uyazi izinhliziyo zabantu bonke,  
Yonke indodakazi, wonke indodana.  
Umusa uyachichima, kodwa ukwahlulela kumi,  
Yonke indalo isezandleni zakho.



[Chorus — Unshaken]

Aqine, aqine,  
Isihlalo sakho soze siwe!  
Phezu kwezulu, ubusa,  
Uyabona futhi usahlulela sonke.

Aqine, aqine,  
Isiphephelo sethu ebusuku.  
Nxa zonke izisekelo zomhlaba ziwe,  
Ume ekukhanyeni okungcwele.

Oh-oh-oh, kuze kube phakade ubusa,  
Ngomlilo, ngemvula.  
Aqine, aqine,  
UNkulunkulu wethu uhlala efanayo!



[Verse 5 — The Judgment of Evil]

Kwababi ukwahlulela kuyawa,  
Njengemililo eshisayo evela ezindlini zakho.  
Isulfure esivuthayo, umlilo ovela phezulu,  
Impendulo yobudlova abathandayo.

Isivunguvungu esishisayo sigcwalisa inkomishi yabo,  
Ingxenye embi ilinganisiwe.  
Akukho ubumnyama obufihlekile obungabekezelela  
Phambi kokwahlulela kwakho, okufanele futhi okuhlanzekile.



[Verse 6 — The Promise of His Face]

Ngoba ulungile, Nkosi yokukhanya,  
Yonke imahlulelo yakho ihlanzekile futhi ilungile.  
Uyakuthanda izenzo zeqiniso nomusa,  
Futhi uhlonipha labo abafuna izindlela zakho.

Abalungile bazobona ubuso bakho,  
Futhi bame phambi kwesihlalo sakho somusa.  
Ngaphandle kwemithunzi, ukwesaba, nobusuku,  
Bazobona inkazimulo yakho ikhanya kakhulu.

[Bridge — Umthandazo Ngesikhathi Izisekelo Ziwa]

Nkulunkulu wezulu, uzwe ukukhala kwethu,  
Nxa ithemba lomhlaba liphela kuthi tu.  
Nxa izisekelo zinyikinyeka phansi kwethu,  
Nxa kungekho indawo yokuhlala, kungekho indawo yokubalekela.

Hlola izinhliziyo zethu, ulungise izindlela zethu,  
Kodwa usindise izimpilo zethu ezinsukwini zokuhlola.  
Masingaqediwe yizivivinyo zethu,  
Yiba unguMsindisi wethu kanye noMngane.

Bheka ngezihawu kuKhethwe wakho,  
UJesu Krestu, iNdodana yakho engcwele.  
Ngaye, vuselela umphefumulo ophukileyo,  
Silethele ukuphulukiswa, usenze sibe ngabaphelele.

Oh, siphilise, Nkosi, siphilise futhi,  
Kuzo zonke izinhlungu, kuzo zonke izinsizi.  
KuJesu Krestu, ithemba lethu liqinisekile,  
Uthando lwakho nomusa wakho kuyohlala.

[Final Chorus — Ukunqoba, Iqembu Eligcwele]

Akunyakazi, akunyakazi,  
Isihlalo sakho asisoze sawa!  
Ngaphezu kwezulu, ubusa,  
Uyabona futhi usahlulela sonke.

Akunyakazi, akunyakazi,  
Isiphephelo sethu ebusuku.  
Nxa yonke insika yomhlaba iwela,  
Ume ekukhanyeni okungcwele.

Uthanda okulungile, uthanda iqiniso,  
Izinhliziyo zethu ziguqukele kuwe ngokukholwa.  
Abathembekile bayozibona ubuso bakho,  
Baphile ngaphakathi komusa wakho ongcwele.

Akunyakazi, akunyakazi,  
Uhlala njalo!  
Kusukela esizukulwaneni kuya kwesinye,  
Ubulungiswa bakho bu
