1949, Ndevo Yenombe Luvizho and other Lilima Texts: Communications from the School of African Studies; University of Cape Town]. Matama iyawa aka kwagwa ne Ikalanga tjina v akamilila b ngono ndaakwala nenkwalo watoshingisa ngwenu ndisinga tubidze mongo wawo nge tjimwe.
Matama e nthuntana ndi hawa ano tobela:
Bathu bantolo bakati ng’ombe yakazha mubathu idwa kudzimwe phuka, yatumwa ngeNdzimu kuti iwodzwala fumwa ngemwise. Saikoku mubona iwodzwala wali ikati: “Fumani mufume nezwinyala zwemakumbo. Ndiko bathu beti: “Imbaka-nyika, thukutila zwimilo, hukutu zebe ne nyanga.”
Yendani munjudzi dzose dzakathuwa ng’ombe, bamubudze; Ngono, bukulu, ubhuzwe bakaMangwato banotjila ngeng’ombe mumikoba yose yebutjilo gwabo. Banahwi linoyi: “Motse re heta wa balala, wa ba-rua-kgomo, re tsena kaone.” Ngono matsheu-zebe bakanyanya munshingo we ng’ombe. Banoishingisa ili phenyu, neyakafa, kofanana. Kakale, mishingo imwe yeng’ombe, takaidiyiwa ndiwo matsheu-zebe, inonga huleha ng’ombe mujokwi, tikweba koloyi ne tjileyi nelima, mishingo yakabe isingazibge nge Bakalanga ntolo.
Ngono kutjina zwimwe zwithu zwinoshingwa ngeng’ombe zwisathu zwikapetunugwa, ngobe njudzi inji dzinoleba nshingo weng’ombe lubizho. NemaPothoko akabaka mu Rhodesia anoleba kwazo ngekweng’ombe; aatoimidzila mate, akati :
“Ng’ombe ino tipa gadzika nyika,
Ikatiwebela zwikulekule.” Fa kweng’ombe. Ha ng’ombe yabhayiwa, nthu waibhaya unopiwanyama inoyi tjibulayo ngobe ndiye waibulaya. Baviyi banokobana mashuno. Kudwa ipapo, ngwenu mitezho inokobiwa ngemazina; bhandabuko loyenda kunkulu wenzi – kuti: “Bhandabuko lakula nzinda.” Ngwenu mitezho yoyenda ngemazina. Tjidzwa tjoyenda kuntukunu wabo bose – kuyi: “Lubalilo gwenkupa-vula.” Phata inopiwa mme bemweni weng’ombe, nemazhilamakulu. Malulu nengudugudu kopiwa tate bemweni weng’ombe. Balisana banogotja lumemende nemabula. Mweni weng’ombe unosala neifuba. Nemamburumburu anobe egotjegwa bezi banopinda. Nsholo unobhikwa ukadanigwa Balume benzi; bose bakakubungana madekwana ne balisana. Ngono bathuntana bakadla mesho, balumetate bakadla lulimi, bazhuzha bakadla ntshibha, balisana bakadla zebe nethozo; ganda layo likabengwa mitjili, pamwe likabambiwa thobo.
Nyanga dzikabezhiwa zwibhako zwe fodlo ne zwidudu zwembanje nelubeko. Nkupa-vula ukasukwa mmwendabula. Ikanda tjephazha tjikatjekwa shangu. Mwise ukathamiwa phende inowuzwa thuzi ngebathuntana.
Nasi ndowoma ipapa koga nekwe nkwalo wa tate Kousu! Mundi bhatsheni ne Ikalanga etji: “Bankamutjigwa, nkombe usina mbutjwa.” Kodwiwani ha kuyago?
