iMizekeliso Imizekeliso 14 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Ubulumko bomfazi buyayakha indlu yakhe; Isinyabi siyayichitha ngezakhe izandla.

2Uhamba ngobulungisa bakhe uyamoyika uYehova; Ongendawo ngeendlela zakhe uyamdela.

3Emlonyeni wesinyabi kukho intonga yekratshi; Umlomo wezilumko uyazisindisa.

4Apho kungekho nkomo, umkhombe uhlambulukile;

5Ingqina elinyanisileyo aliwathethi amanga; Ke lifutha amanga ingqina elixokayo.

6Umgxeki ufuna ubulumko, angabufumani, kodwa ukwazi kulula kohlakaniphileyo.

7Suka ebusweni begeza; Ukuba akuwubonanga umlomo wokwazi.

8Ubulumko bosisilumko kukuyiqonda indlela yaso; Ukumatha kwezinyabi yinkohliso.

9Isono sigculela izimathane; Phakathi kwamalungisa yinceba.

10Intliziyo iyazazi iintlungu zayo; kwaye owasemzini akanxulumani nolonwabo lwakhe.

11Indlu yabangendawo iyatshatyalaliswa; Ke intente yamalungisa iyachuma.

12Kukho indlela ethe tye emehlweni omntu, Ukanti ukuphela kwayo ziindlela zokufa.

13Nasekuhlekeni intliziyo inomvandedwa; kwaye isiphelo saloo lonwabo sinzima.

14Intliziyo ewexukileyo yanelisa iindlela zakhe, yaye umntu olungileyo uhlutha bubomi bakhe.

15Isimathane sikholwa yinto yonke, Ke sona isilumko siyazazi iindlela zaso.

16Isilumko siyoyika, sisuke ebubini; Ke sona isinyabi siyaqumba, sikholosile.

17Ozeka kade umsindo wenza ngobudenge, nomntu oyila ububi uthiyiwe.

18Ilifa lesimathane kukumatha; Ke zona izilumko zithwele ukwazi.

19Abenzi bobubi basibekeka phambi kwabalungileyo; nabangendawo emasangweni amalungisa.

20Ihlwempu lithiywa kowalo umzi; Ke bona isityebi siba nabahlobo abaninzi.

21Omgxekayo ummelwane wakhe uyona; Obabala abaziintsizana, uyolo lwakhe.

22Abayi kulahlekiswa na abayila ububi? Ke yona inceba nenyaniso iba kwabacinga okulungileyo.

23Kuwo wonke umsebenzi kukho ingeniso, kodwa ukuthetha ngomlomo kungaphumeleli.

24Umthwalo wezilumko bubutyebi bazo; Ukumatha kwezinyabi kukumatha.

25Ingqina lenyaniso lisindisa imiphefumlo; Ke elifutha amanga lifutha amanga.

26Ekoyikeni uYehova kukho ithemba eliqinileyo, nabantwana bakhe baya kuba nendawo yokusabela.

27Ukoyika uYehova lithende lobomi, Ukuze kusukwe ezirhintyelweni zokufa.

28Ubungangamsha bokumkani buphakathi kwezizwe ezininzi; Ke ukutshabalala kwesidwangube kukuswela kwabantu.

29Ozeka kade umsindo unengqondo eninzi;

30Bubomi benyama intliziyo epholileyo; Inomona ke wona ukubola kwamathambo.

31Ocudisa isisweli ukhanyela uMdali wakhe; Ke yena omhlonelayo unenceba kumahlwempu.

32Ongendawo utshatyalaliswa bububi bakhe; Ke lona ilungisa lilinda ukufa kwalo.

33Entliziyweni yonengqondo buyahlala ubulumko; Ke yona intliziyo yesinyabi iyaziwa.

34Ubulungisa buyaphakamisa uhlanga; Ke sona isono lihlazo kuhlanga lonke.

35Ububele bokumkani bukwikhoboka elisisilumko, kodwa umsindo wakhe unxamnye nehlazo.
