uNehemiya uNehemiya 1 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Amazwi kaNehemiya unyana kaHagaliya. Ngenyanga enguKislevu, ngomnyaka wamashumi amabini, ndiseShushan komkhulu,

2Kwafika uHanani, omnye wakubazalwana bam, yena namanye amadoda akwaYuda; ndaza ndababuza ngamaYuda awayekhululekile awayesele ekuthinjweni, nangeYerusalem.

3Bathi kum, Aphambe, abaseleyo abathinjwa, abaseleyo emhlabeni, balambe kakhulu; Zadilizwa iindonga zeYerusalem, namasango ayo atshiswe ngomlilo.

4Ndathi ndakuweva la mazwi, ndahlala phantsi ndalila ndaza ndazila kangangeentsuku ezithile ndaza ndazila ukutya ndaza ndathandaza phambi koThixo wezulu.

5Ndithi, Ndiyathandaza kuwe, Yehova, Thixo wamazulu, Thixo omkhulu, owoyikekayo, obagcinelayo umnqophiso nenceba abamthandayo, abayigcinayo imithetho yakhe;

6Phulaphula ngoko ezindlebeni zakho, uwavule amehlo akho, ukuze uwuve umthandazo womkhonzi wakho, endiwuthandazayo ngoku phambi kwakho, imini nobusuku, ndiwenzela oonyana bakaSirayeli, nakubakhonzi bakho, nezono zoonyana bakaSirayeli. Sivume ukuba sonile kuwe, mna nendlu kabawo sonile.

7Sikwenze ngobubi obukhulu, yaye asiyigcinanga imiyalelo nemiyalelo nezigwebo owamwisela umthetho ngazo uMoses umkhonzi wakho.

8Khumbula ilizwi owamwisela umthetho ngalo uMoses umkhonzi wakho, elithi, Ukuba nithe nameneza, ndonichithachitha phakathi kweentlanga.

9Kwaye ukuba uyaguqukela kum kwaye uxhase imiyalelo yam kwaye uyenze; Nokuba bathe babakho kuni abathatyathwe esiphelweni sezulu, ndobahlanganisela khona, ndibazise kuloo ndawo ndiyinyulileyo, ukuba ndilimise khona igama lam.

10Ke aba ngabakhonzi bakho, nabantu bakho, owabakhulula ngamandla akho amakhulu, nangesandla sakho esithe nkqi.

11Ndiya kukhunga, Yehova, indlebe yakho iwuve umthandazo womkhonzi wakho, nomthandazo wabakhonzi bakho abaloyikayo igama lakho; ubabalo emehlweni ale ndoda. Kaloku mna ndandingumngcamli wokumkani.
