uYobhi uYobhi 23 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Izikhalazo zikaYobhi zikrakra, uYobhi ufuna iimpendulo

1Waphendula uYobhi, wathi:

2Namhlanje kukrakra ukukhala kwam;

3Owu, bendisazi apho bendinokumfumana khona! ukuze ndingene esihlalweni sakhe!

4Bendiya kuxoxa ityala lam phambi kwakhe, Ndiwuzalise umlomo wam ngeziganeko.

5Bendiya kukwazi abeya kundiphendula ngako, Ndiyiqonde into abeya kuyithetha kum.

6Ingandoyisa na ngamandla ayo amakhulu? Hayi; kodwa ebeya kundibeka amandla.

7Apho ilungisa liya kuxoxa naye; ndide ndikhululwe kumgwebi wam ngonaphakade.

8Yabona, ndiya kuqala, angabikho; ngasemva, ndingamboni;

9ngasekhohlo, apho asebenza khona, ndingamboni; uzimela ngasekunene, ukuba ndingamboni.

10Ke niyayazi indlela endihamba ngayo; ukuba uthe wandilinga, ndophuma njengegolide.

11Unyawo lwam lubambe emanyathelweni akhe, Ndayigcina indlela yakhe, andathi gu bucala.

12Andisuki emyalelweni womlomo wakhe; Ndawathatha amazwi omlomo wakhe ngaphezu kokutya kwam.

13Ke yena umphefumlo mnye, ngubani na ongambuyisayo? yaye uya kwenza into oyinqwenelayo umphefumlo wakhe.

14Ngokuba uyakwenza endikumiseleyo; kanjalo zikho kuye izinto ezininzi ezinje.

15Ndikhwankqisiwe ebusweni bakhe; xa ndicingayo ndiyamoyika.

16Kuba uThixo uyayithoba intliziyo yam, yaye undenza buhlungu uSomandla.

17Ngokuba andinqunyulwanga sisithokothoko, nawe akwabugubungelanga ubumnyama ebusweni bam.
