uElihu uthembekile kuYobhi

1Ngako oko, Yobhi, wabekele indlebe amazwi am;

2Yabona, ndiyawuvula umlomo wam, Luyathetha ulwimi lwam emlonyeni wam.

3Amazwi am ophuma entliziyweni yam, Nomlomo wam uxela ukwazi kakuhle.

4uMoya kaThixo wandenza, Nokuphefumla kukaSomandla kwandiphilisa.

5Ukuba unako, ndiphendule, yalungise intetho yakho phambi kwam, ume.

6Uyabona, ndingokwakho ngokwentando yakho; Nam ndenziwe ngodongwe.

7Yabonani, isilumkiso sam asiyi kukunkwantyisa, nesandla sam asiyi kunicinezela.

8Ewe, uthethe ezindlebeni zam, ndasiva isandi samazwi akho, ndathi:

9Ndinyulu, andinasono, ndimsulwa; akukho bubi kum.

10Yabona, ufuna ikamva lam, undibethe ngotshaba lwakhe;

11Uzifaka iinyawo zam esitokisini, Uzigculela zonke iindlela zam.

12Yabona, awulungisile ndawo; ndoniphendula, ndithi, uThixo yena mkhulu kunomntu.

13Yini na ukuba ubambane naye? ngenxa yokuba engayiphenduliyo imicimbi yakhe.

14Kuba uThixo uthetha kube kanye, Nangezimbini, kodwa umntu akaboni.

15Ephupheni, embonweni wasebusuku, xa abantu besindwa bubuthongo obukhulu, abalali ezingqengqelweni;

16Wandula ke avule iindlebe zabantu aze awuqinise umyalelo wabo,

17ukuze amshenxise umntu kwinjongo yakhe, afihle ikratshi lomntu.

18Ugcina umphefumlo wakhe emngxunyeni, Nobomi bakhe bungatshabalali likrele.

19Ubethwa yintlungu esililini sakhe, nenkxwaleko enkulu yamathambo akhe;

20Ubomi bakhe bukwale ukudla, Nomphefumlo wakhe wale ukudla okulungileyo.

21Itshiswe inyama yakhe, ingabonwa; zaphuma iinyawo zakhe ezingabonakaliyo.

22Ewe, umphefumlo wakhe usondele kwelabafileyo nobomi bakhe kwabatshabalalisayo.

23Ukuba ke kuthe kwakho isithunywa sezulu kunye naye, umkhumshi ubemnye ewakeni, ukuze abonise umntu inyaniso yakhe;

24Emva koko waba nosizi kuye waza wathi: “Mhlangule angehli aye emhadini: Ndiyifumene intlawulelo.

25Iyahlaziyeka inyama yakhe kuneyomntwana; uya kubuyela emihleni yobutsha bakhe;

26Wothandaza kuThixo, umkholise; ububone ubuso bakhe evuya, ngokuba embuyisela emntwini ubulungisa bakhe.

27Wondela ebantwini, athi omnye kubo, Ndonile, ndakugwenxa okuthe tye, akwandinceda nto;

28Uya kuwukhulula umphefumlo wakhe ekuyeni kwelabafileyo, Nobomi bakhe bokubona ukukhanya.

29Uyabona ke, zonke ezi zinto ubuye asebenze umntu;

30ukuba abuyisele umphefumlo wakhe kwelabafileyo, Ukhanye ngokukhanya kobomi.

31Ndibekele indlebe, Yobhi, ndiphulaphule; Yithini cwaka, ndithethe.

32Ke ukuba unokuthetha, ndiphendule; Thetha, ngokuba ndithanda ukukugwebela.

33Ukuba akunjalo, phulaphula kum; Yithi cwaka, ndikufundise ubulumko.
