ISIXHOSA - ISICATSHULWA ESIMALUNGA NEPLANETHI - XHOSA - 114

Umhlaba wethu yinkqubo emangalisayo nentsonkothileyo, ezele ziinkqubo ezinxulumeneyo. Ukususela kwiilwandle eziphangaleleyo ezigubungela uninzi lomphezulu wawo, ukuya kwimiqolo yeentaba eziphakamileyo ezigqobhoza amafu, yonke into idlala indima yayo. Umoya owungqongileyo uMhlaba ukhusela ubomi kwiimeko ezinzima zasemajukujukwini kwaye udlala indima ekubumbeni imozulu, leyo isoloko itshintsha phantsi kwempembelelo yezinto ezininzi. Amandla omhlaba, kancinci kodwa ngokuzingisileyo, aguqula ubuso bomhlaba, edala iimbonakalo-mhlaba ezintsha aze aguqule ezindala. Ukuphonononga ezi zinto zenzekayo kusinceda siqonde ngcono imithetho yendalo elawula ilizwe lethu, kwaye siqonde ukuba indalo esiphila kuyo inamandla kwaye iyatshintshatshintsha kangakanani na. Oku kushukuma notshintsho olungapheliyo kwenza umhlaba wethu ube ngumxholo wophando oluqhubekayo nomtsalane omkhulu.  

Kulo mhlaba wahlukahlukeneyo, ubomi buyachuma kwiimo ezininzi, nganye kuzo iqhelaniswe ngokukodwa nendawo yayo yokuhlala. Ukususela kwizinto eziphilayo ezingabonakaliyo ngeliso emhlabeni ukuya kwizidalwa ezikhulu kunzulu elwandle, ukusuka kwizityalo eziphila kwiintlango ezomileyo ukuya kwizilwanyana eziqhele ukubanda okukhenkcezayo kwimimandla enomkhenkce – iyantlukwano yezinto eziphilayo iyamangalisa. Le nkqubo yokuziqhelanisa, ethathe izigidi zeminyaka, idale iintlobo ngeentlobo ezimangalisayo zamaqhinga okuphila, okunxibelelana nokuzala. Siso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo siyinxalenye yomnatha wendalo ontsonkothileyo, apho zonke izinto zixhomekeke kwenye, zigcina ulungelelwaniso olubuthathaka. Ukuqonda olu nxulumano kubaluleke kakhulu ekulondolozeni ubutyebi bobomi eMhlabeni.  

Abantu bazinzile phantse kuzo zonke iimbombo zomhlaba, besakha iintlalo ezineenkcubeko, izithethe, neendlela zokunxibelelana nendalo ebajikelezileyo ezahlukeneyo. Kukho iintlanga ngeentlanga, ngalunye lunembono yalo eyodwa ngobomi, amasiko nolwimi lwalo, olungasebenzi nje njengesixhobo sonxibelelwano kodwa olukwasisigciniso senkumbulo namava esizwe. Ubuchule bokucinga okunzulu, ukudluliselwa kolwazi kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana, kunye nentsebenziswano, kwenze abantu bakwazi ukwakha impucuko baze baphuhlise isayensi nobugcisa. Ngaphandle kwayo yonke le yantlukwano, bonke abantu babelana ngekhaya elinye – le planethi – kunye nembopheleleko ekwabelwana ngayo ngekamva layo.
