uYobhi uYobhi 19 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Waphendula uYobhi, wathi:

2Kunini na nisenza isingqala kumphefumlo wam, Nindingcikiva ngamazwi?

3Ezi zihlandlo zilishumi nindanga kabuhlungu;

4Ukuba okunene ndonile, ityala lam lihleli phezu kwam.

5Ukuba okunene nithanda ukuziphakamisa nxamnye nam nokuthetha ngendelelo yam nxamnye nam;

6Yazini ke ngoku, ukuba uThixo undijikile, Wandirhawula ngomnatha wakhe;

7Yabona, ndiyakhala, ndikhala, ndingaviwa; Ndiyakhala kakhulu, kodwa akukho sigwebo.

8Uyivingcile indlela yam, akwabakho ukugqitha; Ezingqushwini zam wabeka ubumnyama.

9Yalususa uzuko lwam, yathabatha isithsaba entlokweni yam;

10Wandidiliza ngeenxa zonke, ndemka, Walisusa ithemba lam njengomthi.

11Wabuya wabuya umsindo wakhe, wandinyusa, Wandigqala njengesinye seentshaba zakhe.

12Imikhosi yakhe ibingumkhosi wakhe, yaza yalwa nam, Yayirhawula intente yam;

13Ubasusile abazalwana bam kude kum, Abandaziyo bagxothiwe kum.

14Intsapho yakowethu iwile, yaye abahlobo bam abadumileyo bandishiyile.

15Abahlala endlwini yam, nabakhonzazana bam, bathi ndingowasemzini; Ndingumphambukeli emehlweni abo.

16Ndibize umkhonzi wam, akandiphendula; Ndamncamisa emlonyeni.

17Umoya wam ucocekile ngenxa yomkam;

18Ewe, nabancinci badlale ngam; Ndaphakama bathetha ngam.

19Bonke abahlobo bam bandithiyile, Nabandithandayo bandijikele.

20Ithambo lam libotshelelwe eluswini lwam nasenyameni yam; Ndisinde ngolusu lwamazinyo am.

21Tarhuni, bazalwana bam! ngokuba isandla sikaThixo siphezu kwam.

22Kutheni le nto ninditshutshisa njengoThixo, ninganeli yinyama yam?

23Owu, ngaba amazwi am abhaliwe ngoku! ukuba nje bezinokushicilelwa encwadini!

24Sibhalwe eweni, ngesikhonkwane sentsimbi nelothe ngonaphakade;

25Ngokuba ndiyazi mna ukuba uhleli umsindisi wam, Uya kusuka eme phezu komhlaba ekupheleni kwemihla.

26Nangona iimpethu ziwudlavula lo mzimba, kodwa enyameni yam ndiya kumbona uThixo.

27Ndiya kumbona ke, namehlo am aya kumbona, akukho wumbi; nokuba umphefumlo wam ubutshatyalalisiwe kum.

28Kodwa niya kuthi, ‘Kutheni simtshutshisa nje, ekubeni ingcambu yalo mbandela ifunyenwe kum?

29Loyikani ikrele, ngokuba ingqumbo iza ngomgwebo womkhonto, Ukuze nazi ukuba kukho umgwebo.
