Iindumiso Iindumiso 17 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Yiva, Yehova, umgwebi, kubekele indlebe ukuhlahlamba kwam, uwubazele indlebe umthandazo wam ongaphumiyo emlonyeni wenkohliso.

2Mawuphume ebusweni bakho isigwebo sam; Amehlo akho abone kwaoko.

3Uyicikidile intliziyo yam; Wandivelela ebusuku; Undicikidile, akwafumana nto; Ndagqiba kwelokuba umlomo wam awuzukwaphuka.

4Ke yona imisebenzi yabantu, ngelizwi lomlomo wakho, ndizithintele iindlela zomonakalisi.

5Gcina iindlela zam ngeendlela zakho, Ukunyathela kwam makungatyibiliki.

6Ndinqula wena, ngokuba undiva, Thixo; ndibekele indlebe, uliphulaphule izwi lam.

7Zibalule iinceba zakho, wena ubakhululayo abazimela ngawe, ngesandla sakho sokunene, kwabasukela phezulu.

8Ndigcine njengentshula yeliso, ndisibekele ngomthunzi wamaphiko akho;

9Ngenxa yabangendawo abandisukelayo, ngenxa yeentshaba zam ezindibulalayo.

10Bagutyungelwe ngamanqatha abo; Ngomlomo wazo zithetha ngekratshi.

11Zindijikelezile ngoku ekuhambeni kwethu; bawaphose phantsi amehlo abo;

12Njengengonyama isukela ixhoba, nanjengengonyama ifuna ukuzimela;

13Khawusuk’ ume, Yehova, umcinezele, umwise; Wusindise umphefumlo wam kongendawo, olikrele lakho.

14Kubantu besandla sakho, Yehova, beentlanga zelimiweyo, abanesabelo kobu bomi, abasisu sabo usizalise ngobuncwane bakho obufihliweyo; bondle abantwana babo, Bonke ubutyebi babo babushiyele abantwana babo.

15Mna ndiya kububona ubuso bakho ndisebulungiseni; Ndiya kwanela ekuvukeni kwam, ndisebumeni bakho.
