“Virgin of the night”, umkhuleko wokwehlisa usizi lwasebusuku noMary
UMariya oNgcwele, iNcasakazi Yasebusuku,
Sicela uhlale nathi lapho ubuhlungu busifikile
Futhi ukuqhuma kwesivivinyo kuphuma umoya wokuphelelwa yithemba
nesibhakabhaka esimnyama sokukhathazeka,
noma amakhaza okukhohlisa noma iphiko elibi lokufa.
Sikhulule ekujabuliseni kobumnyama.
Ehoreni leKalvari yethu, wena,
ukuthi uzwe ukusitheka kwelanga,
yendlala ingubo yakho phezu kwethu, ngoba isongwe ngomoya wakho,
ukulinda isikhathi eside inkululeko kuyabekezeleleka.
Khanyisa ukuhlupheka kwabagulayo nge-caresses kaMama.
Gcwalisa isikhathi esibuhlungu sanoma ngubani yedwa onobungane nobungqondongqondo.
Beka umlilo wokulangazelela ezinhliziyweni zamatilosi,
futhi ubanikeze ihlombe lakho, ukuze bancikise amakhanda abo kulo.
Vikela abantu esibathandayo abasebenza emazweni akude nobubi.
Futhi kududuza labo asebelahlekelwe yithemba empilweni
ngokucwayiza okubuhlungu kwamehlo akhe.
Futhi namuhla phinda iculo leMagnificat
kanye nokumenyezelwa kwezobulungiswa
kubo bonke abacindezelweyo bomhlaba.
Ungasishiyi sodwa ebusuku sicula ukwesaba kwethu.
Empeleni, ngezikhathi zobumnyama uzosondela kithi
futhi uzosisebezela ukuthi nawe, Virgin of Advent,
ulinde ukukhanya,
imithombo yezinyembezi iyoma ebusweni bethu
futhi sizovuka kanye kanye ekuseni.
Ngakho-ke makube njalo.
