uYobhi uYobhi 40 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Amathandabuzo kaYobhi

1Waphinda uYehova wamphendula uYobhi, wathi,

2Obambana noSomandla ngaba uya kumfundisa na? Omkhalimelayo uThixo makaphendule;

3uYobhi wamphendula uYehova, wathi:

4Yabona, ndinetyala; Ndingathini ukukuphendula? Ndiya kubeka isandla sam emlonyeni wam.

5Ndathetha ngasihlandlo sithile; kodwa andiyi kuphendula, ewe, kabini; kodwa andiyi kuhambela phambili.

6uYehova wamphendula uYobhi esemoyeni, wathi:

7Ke ngoko, bhinqa amanqe akho njengendoda; ndiya kukubamba, ndikuxelele kum.

8Ngaba nawe uya kusiphelisa isigwebo sam? Uza kundigweba na, ukuze wena ube lilungisa?

9Unaso na isandla esinjengesikaThixo? Uya kugquma na ngelizwi elinjengelakhe?

10Khawuzihombise ngobuhle nobungangamela; Yambatha uzuko nobuhle.

11Lahla ingqumbo yakho, ubheke kubo bonke abakhukhumeleyo, ulithobe.

12Khangela bonke abantu abanekratshi, umthobe; banyhashe abangendawo esikhundleni sabo.

13Bangcwabele ndawonye eluthulini; Ububophe ubuso babo emfihlekweni.

14Ke kaloku, ndiya kukuxelela, Ukuba isandla sakho sokunene sinokukusindisa.

15Khawubone ke iBhehemoti endayenza yanawe; udla utyani njengenkomo.

16Khawubone, amandla ayo asemanqeni ayo, Nokuqina kwayo kusesangweni lesisu sayo.

17Ishukuma umsila wayo njengomsedare; izihlunu zamathambo alo zihlanganisene ndawonye.

18Iinyawo zayo zifana nobhedu; Amathambo ayo anjengemivalo yentsimbi.

19Yintlahlela yeendlela zikaThixo: Lowo uyenzayo uya kufika ekreleni lakhe kuyo.

20Ewe, iintaba ziyivelisela ukudla, apho adlala khona onke amarhamncwa elizwe.

21Ulala phantsi kwemithi enomthunzi, phantsi kweengcongolo nengca.

22Imithi ethunzi imgubungela ngomthunzi wayo; imingcunube yomlambo imjikelezile.

23Yabona, uyawusela umlambo, akangxami; ngethemba lokuyikhupha iYordan emlonyeni wayo.

24Uyibamba ngamehlo, Ugqobhoza impumlo yakhe kwizirhintyelo.
