Текст и перевод песни Rebecca - Isandla

Isandla

Jehovah Nkulukulu wami
Ngizisondeza phambi kwebuso bakho
Ngigucile ngamadolo ngibheke phansi
Ngizifihla ubuso bami nje ngiswabile nkosi
Ngiswabiswa imisebendzi yezandla zethu
Ngiswabiswa ububi izandla zethu ezibendza mihla yonke
Namhlanje nkos'yami yasemazulwini
Ngigucile ngyakuthandaza
Ngiyacela baba ngivumele ngikhulume nomuntu
Ngivumele somandla ngikhulume nesidalwa sakho

Namhlanje ngenze umbhuli wesandla
Ohh ungangenzi umahluleli nkos'yami
Ngenze umbhuli wesandla baba ungiphe amehlo omoya
Ohh mfowethu bheka isandla sakho
Namhlanje sivule usbhekisise
Ubone ukungcola nokuswabisa kwaso
Izolo lokhu besakha ngenhlonipho nothando olumangalisayo
Lapho sibambe khona sibamba kucine
Siduduza futhi sijabulisa

Ukufudumala kwaso kulalisa ngisho nosana oluncane
Namhlanje abazali bethu balele emathuneni
Ngenca yezandla zethu
Amakhaya ezihlobo nabangani avalwe ngamahlathi
Ngenca yezandla zethu
Isandla sala umuntu asithandaza
Aguce ngamadolo asincenga
Athi yooo, ungangibulali
Kodwa sona isandla sochubeka sihlabe kucitheke igazi
Sala ngisho ingane encane imemeza
Ngezwane ithi uyangilimaza
Kodwa sona sochubeka sihlabe kucitheke igazi

Isandla syakubhambhatha sikufudumeze
Uzwe imizwa yomzimba igijima
Sibuye sikwenzele ukudla sikufakele ushevu
Ufe uphele wonke umndeni
Namhlanje izandla zethu sishiye ishoshwa
Zashiya neyintandane
Imizi eminingi ikhala ibhungane ngenca yezandla zethu
Ngabe kwenzenjani ngezandla zethu
Mzalwane wami bheka izandla zakho, usbhekisise
Ngabe izandla zeciniso na
Ngabe isandla sakho isandla senyembezi na
Ngabe izandla zegazi na
Ngabe siyakha noma siyabhidliza na
Uthi u Davide indodana ka Nkulukulu
Oh ngyacela nkosi ngiwele ezandleni zakho
Ngingaweli ezandleni zomuntu
Ngoba isandla somuntu syasabekha Nkosi
Sidinga uncedo
Sidinga insindiso bawo
Oh Bawo hawukela izandla zethu

Faka uzwelo ezandleni zomuntu
Ngegama lenkosi yethu uJesu Krestu
Ngicela uthando ezandleni zomuntu
Faka inhlonipho ezandleni zomuntu
Oh! Nkos'yami asikuthumi baba
Syakucela nkosi
Nceda izandla zethu
Ngegama lenkosi yethu uJesu Krestu
Baba syakuthandaza
Sincede baba
Amen
Siyafa siyaphela sonke, sonke emhlabeni
Uh mas'khulume, mas'khulume
Mas'khulume

The Hand

Jehovah, my God,
I approach your presence,
I kneel with my head bowed,
I hide my face, as I am ashamed, my Lord,
I am ashamed of the works of our hands,
I am ashamed of the evil our hands do every day.
Today, my Lord of the heavens,
As I kneel, I pray to you,
I ask Father to allow me to speak to someone,
Allow me, Almighty, to speak to your creation.

Today I have made an image of the hand,
Oh, do not judge me, my Lord,
I have made an image of the hand, Father, give me spiritual eyes.
Oh, my brother, look at your hand,
Today, let's open our eyes and examine it,
See its filth and disgrace,
Yesterday, we held each other with respect and amazing love,
When we held each other, we held tight,
We comforted and brought joy to each other.

Its warmth puts even a small baby to sleep.
Today, our parents are sleeping in their graves,
Because of our hands.
The homes of relatives and friends are overgrown with forests,
Because of our hands.
A person's hand begs us not to hurt them,
They kneel, pleading with us,
They say, "Please, don't kill me,"
But the same hand continues to strike until blood spills.
Even a small child cries out,
I hear them say, "You're hurting me,"
But the hand keeps striking until blood spills.

The hand caresses you, warming you,
You feel emotions coursing through your body,
It prepares food for you, adding poison to it,
You die, your whole family perishes.
Today, our hands have left orphans,
They have left widows,
Many homes weep and mourn because of our hands.
What have we done with our hands?
My brother, look at your hands, examine them,
Are they hands of truth?
Is your hand a hand of tears?
Are they hands of blood?
Are we building or destroying?
David, the son of God, said,
“Oh Lord, I pray to fall into your hands,
Let me not fall into the hands of man,
For the hand of man is dreadful, Lord.”
We need help,
We need salvation, Father,
Oh Father, don't forsake our hands.

Put compassion into the hands of man,
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
I ask for love in the hands of man,
Put respect in the hands of man,
Oh! My Lord, we are not commanding you Father,
We are asking you, Lord,
Help our hands,
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Father, we pray to you,
Help us, Father,
Amen.
We are dying, we are all perishing, all of us on earth,
Oh, let's talk, let's talk,
Let's talk.
