uYobhi uYobhi 15 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uElifazi ufuna ukwazi enoba kububulumko na ukuthetha njengoYobhi

1Waphendula uElifazi wakwaTeman, wathi:

2Ngaba isilumko sinokuthetha into engento yanto, size sizalise isisu saso ngomoya wasempumalanga?

3Ngaba ufanele uqiqe ngembudane? okanye ngeelwimi angenakwenza nto ngazo?

4Ewe, uyakulahla ukunkwantya, athintele umthandazo phambi koThixo.

5Ngokuba umlomo wakho uthetha ngobugwenxa bakho, Unyule ulwimi lwenkohliso.

6Asindim okugwebayo ngumlomo wakho; Ewe, umlomo wakho uyangqina ngawe.

7Ngaba ungowokuqala ukuzalwa? Ngaba wenziwa ngaphambi kweenduli?

8Wakha wayiva na imfihlelo kaThixo? Wabugcina kuwe na ubulumko bakho?

9Wazi ntoni na, esingayaziyo thina? uqonde ntoni na, hayi kuthi?

10Phakathi kwethu kukho amadoda anezimvi namaxhego, amadala kakhulu kunoyihlo.

11Zincinane na kuwe iintuthuzelo zikaThixo? unayo imfihlo?

12Yini na ukuba ithabatheke intliziyo yakho? kulapho amehlo akho akhangele khona;

13Ukuba uthe wawuphikisa umphefumlo wakho kuThixo, ukhupha amazwi anjalo emlonyeni wakho?

14Yintoni umntu omele ahlambuluke? Nalowo uzelweyo ngumfazi, angaba lilungisa na?

15Yabona, akakholosi ngabakhe benceba; nezulu alihlambulukile phambi kwamehlo akhe.

16Ngaphezu koko, umntu osela ubungendawo njengamanzi ulizothe yaye akahlambulukanga?

17Ndiya kukubonisa, phulaphula kum; kwaye endikubonileyo ndiya kukuxelela;

18Okwaxelwa zizilumko kooyise, zaza akwafihla;

19Ngabo bodwa elanikwa bona ihlabathi, Akuzanga kucande mntu wasemzini phakathi kwabo.

20Yonke imihla yakhe ongendawo uyabandezeleka, Nenani leminyaka liqwetyelwe ingqwangangqwili.

21Kuvakala ilizwi eloyikekayo ezindlebeni zakhe;

22Akakholwa ukuba uya kubuya emnyameni; Ke ulindelwe likrele.

23Wabhadula efuna isonka, wathi, Siphi na? uyazi, ngokuba imini yobumnyama ikufuphi kuye.

24Iimbandezelo neenkxwaleko ziya kumkhwankqisa; ziya kudlula kuye njengokumkani olungiselela imfazwe.

25Ngokuba esolulele ngakuThixo isandla sakhe, Unamandla phezu koSomandla.

26Uya kumgila, ewe, emqaleni wakhe, ebuboya obuninzi bamakhaka akhe.

27Kuba egqubuthele ubuso bakhe ngamanqatha akhe, Walityebisa icala lakhe.

28Yaye uye wahlala kwizixeko ezidala nakwizindlu ezingenabemi, ezikufuphi ukuba zishiywe.

29Akayi kuba sisityebi, nobutyebi bakhe abuyi kubakho, nemfezeko yabo ayiyi kubandisa ehlabathini.

30Akayi kubushiya ubumnyama; Amasebe akhe aya kuwatshisa amadangatye, Emke ngomoya womlomo wakhe.

31Okhohliswayo makangakholosi ngelize, ngokuba umvuzo wamampunge uyafana.

32Uya kugqitywa ngaphambi kwexesha lawo, kwaye isebe lawo aliyi kuba luhlaza.

33Wovuthulula njengediliya iziqhamo zakhe ezikrwada, avuthulule njengomnquma intyantyambo yakhe.

34Kuba ibandla leentshembenxa liya kuba yintlango, nomlilo uzitshise iintente zokucenga.

35Bakhawula ububi, bazalele ilize, Nezizalo zabo zinenkohliso.
