uYobhi uYobhi 16 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uYobhi akafuni kuthuthuzelwa ngabahlobo bakhe

1Waphendula uYobhi, wathi:

2Ndive izinto ezininzi ezinjengezo; ningabathuthuzeli abangamatshijolo nonke niphela.

3Ngaba amazwi alambathayo aya kuphela? Okanye yintoni ekomelezayo ukuba uphendule?

4Nam bendiya kukwazi ukuthetha njengani: ukuba umphefumlo wenu ubusendaweni yomphefumlo wam, bendiya kuhlanganisana amazwi kuni, ndihlunguzele intloko.

5Ke bendiya kunikhaliphisa ngomlomo wam, Nokukhuza komlomo wam kuzithobe iintlungu zenu.

6Nokuba ndithe ndathetha, awunqabi umvandedwa wam;

7Hayi, undithobile ngoku, uyitshabalalisile ingxokolo yam yonke;

8Undihluthise ngemibimbi, oko oko kube bubungqina nxamnye nam, nokunyuka kwam ukuza kum ubutsha bam, bububungqina bobuso bam.

9Ondithiyileyo uginya ngomsindo wakhe; Utshixize amazinyo; utshaba lwam lundijongile.

10Bathetha kum ngemilebe yomlomo wabo; bandibetha esidleleni ngesithuko; bandihlanganisa.

11uThixo undinikele kwabangendawo, Wandinikela esandleni sabangendawo.

12Ndaxola, wandahlula; Uphinde wandibamba entanyeni wandibamba wandenza iziqwenga wandimisa njengophawu lwakhe.

13Bandithiyela ngezaphetha, wazityanda izintso zam, angabuyi umva; Utshica inyongo yam emhlabeni.

14Undikhohlisa, ugidima eze kum njengegorha.

15Ndathungela iingubo ezirhwexayo enkwaneni yolusu lwam, Ndalucofa uphondo lwam;

16Ubuso bam budyobhekile kukulila, Phezu kwamashiya am lithunzi lokufa;

17Kungabi ngamanyala asezandleni zam; Uqaqambile umthandazo wam.

18Owu mhlaba, musa ukuligquma igazi lam, nokukhala kwam makungabi nandawo.

19Kaloku, yabona, lisemazulwini ingqina lam;

20Abahlobo bam bayanditshata, kodwa iliso lam liyaphalala kuThixo.

21Hayi, ukuba umntu angamlamlela umntu kuThixo, njengokuba ethetha kummelwane wakhe!

22Emva kweminyaka embalwa, ndiya kuhamba ngendlela endingayi kubuya ndibuyele kuyo.
