iMizekeliso Imizekeliso 9 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Ndikuthanda kakhulu ukutya okumnandi

1Ubulumko buyakhile indlu yabo, Zikroliwe iintsika zabo zosixhenxe.

2Wazixhela iinkomo zakhe; Uyiphithikezile iwayini yakhe; walungisa netafile yakhe.

3Wathuma abakhonzazana bakhe; ubiza iindawo eziphakamileyo zesixeko;

4Masiphambukele apha isidenge;

5Yizani nidle isonka sam, nisele iwayini endiyiphithikezileyo;

6Shiyani iziyatha, niphile; nihambe ngendlela yokuqonda.

7Omthethisa umgxeki uzihlazisa ngokwakhe; ke yena omohlwayayo umenzi wobubi, umkela isiqalekiso.

8Musa ukumthethisa umgxeki, hleze akuthiye; yohlwaya isilumko, sokuthanda.

9Sifundise isilumko, solumka ngakumbi; fundisa indoda elungileyo, yoba nemfundo eninzi.

10Ingqalo yobulumko kukoyika uYehova, nokwaziwa koyiNgcwele yingqiqo.

11Ngenxa yam iya kuba mininzi imihla yakho, ibe mininzi iminyaka yobomi.

12Ukuba uthe walumka, uya kuzifumanela ubulumko;

13Umfazi osisinyabi uyaxokozela, akazi nto, akazi nto;

14Ngokuba ehleli emnyango wendlu yakhe, Etroneni yakhe ezindaweni eziphakamileyo zesixeko.

15Ndibize abakhweli abahamba kakuhle endleleni yabo:

16Masiphambukele apha isidenge; wathi kuye lowo ubefuna ukuqonda.

17Amanzi abiweyo anencasa, Nesonka esityiwa ngasese sinencasa.

18Akazi ukuba abafileyo bakhona; nokuba abamenywa bakhe basezinzulwini zelabafileyo.
