iMizekeliso Imizekeliso 15 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Impendulo ethambileyo ibuyisa ubushushu; Ilizwi elidubulayo linyusa umsindo.

2Ulwimi lwezilumko lulungisa ukwazi; Ke yona imilebe yesinyabi impompoza ukumatha.

3Amehlo kaYehova akuyo yonke indawo, yaye abona ababi nabalungileyo.

4Ukuphola kolwimi ngumthi wobomi;

5Isimathane sigiba uqeqesho lukayise; Osigcinileyo isohlwayo sisilumko.

6Indlu yelungisa nguvimba omkhulu; ke wona umvuzo wongendawo ngamashwa.

7Umlomo wesilumko usasaza ukwazi: Ke yona intliziyo yesinyabi ayinanto.

8Umbingelelo wabangendawo lisikizi kuYehova; Ke wona umthandazo wamalungisa luvuyo lwakhe.

9Ilisikizi kuYehova indlela yongendawo; ke ophuthuma ubulungisa uyamthanda.

10Isohlwayo siqatha kojika endleleni; othiya isohlwayo uya kufa.

11Yintlekele nentshabalalo phambi koYehova; kukangakanani ke kunentliziyo yoonyana babantu?

12Umgxeki akakuthandi ukohlwaywa, Akayi kwizilumko.

13Intliziyo evuyileyo iyabuchwayithisa ubuso; Ubuhlungu bubuhlungu bentliziyo.

14Intliziyo enengqondo ifuna ukwazi; Umlomo wesinyabi usukelana nokumatha.

15Yonke imihla yesisweli mibi; Ke yena ontliziyo ichwayithileyo uhlala evuya.

16Intwana yokoyika uYehova ilungile, Ngaphezu kobutyebi obuninzi neembandezelo.

17Ukutya imifuno kuphela apho kukho uthando kulunge ngaphezu kokutyiwa yinkukhu enentiyo.

18Umntu onomsindo uxhaya ingxabano;

19Indlela yesimathane injengothango lweminga; Ke yona indlela yamalungisa iqaqambile.

20Umntwana osisilumko uyamvuyisa uyise; Umntu osisinyabi udela unina.

21Ukumatha lunoyolo oswele ubulumko; Ke indoda enengqondo ithi tye ukuhamba.

22Iingcinga ziyadana ngokungabikho kokucweya; Ke zona zima ngamaphakathi amaninzi.

23Unoyolo umntu ngempendulo yomlomo wakhe;

24Indlela yobomi iphakamile kunobulumko, Ukuba alishiye elabafileyo.

25uYehova uyayincothula indlu yabanekratshi, Amise umlimandlela womhlolokazi.

26Zingamasikizi kuYehova iingcinga zongendawo; Ke amazwi ahlambulukileyo ayathandeka.

27Olungileyo uyihlisela ububi indlu yakhe; Ke yena othiya izibabalo uya kudla ubomi.

28Intliziyo yelungisa iya kuphendula; Ke yona imilebe yongendawo impompoza ububi.

29uYehova ukude nabangendawo, kodwa uyawuva umthandazo wamalungisa.

30Ukukhanya kwamehlo kuvuyisa intliziyo; Iindaba ezimnandi zityebisa amathambo.

31Indlebe esivayo isohlwayo sobomi, Ihlala phakathi kwezilumko.

32Ophulukene noqeqesho ucekisa umphefumlo wakhe; Osivayo isohlwayo uba nokuqonda.

33Ukoyika uYehova luqeqesho lobulumko; kwaye ukuthobeka kukhokela isidima.
