iMizekeliso Imizekeliso 21 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Yimijelo yamanzi intliziyo yokumkani esandleni sikaYehova; Usalathisa apho athanda khona.

2Zonke iindlela zendoda zithe tye kwawayo amehlo; Uyigocagocile intliziyo uYehova.

3Ukwenza okusesikweni nomgwebo kukholekile kuYehova ngaphezu kombingelelo.

4Amehlo aqwayingayo, nokuqwayinga kwentliziyo, Kwanekhuba labangendawo, sisono.

5Iingcinga zamatshijolo ziba bubutyebi bodwa; ke bonke abangxamayo bayaswela.

6Ukuzuza ubutyebi ngolwimi oluxokayo Ngumphunga ophephezelwa ngabafuna ukufa.

7Ukubhuqwa kwabangendawo kuyabaqweqwedisa; ngokuba abavumi ukugweba.

8Ilibi, ilungile indlela yendoda; Ke yena ohlambulukileyo, umsebenzi wakhe ulungile.

9Kulungile ukuhlala elungqamekweni oluphezu kwendlu, Kunokuhlala ndlwini-nye nomfazi onengxabano.

10Umoya wongendawo unqwenela ububi, Ummelwane wakhe akayiboni inceba emehlweni akhe.

11Ekubethwa komgxeki siyalumka isidenge; sakuba sithe safundiswa isilumko, samkela ukwazi.

12Ilungisa liwazi ngobulumko indlu yongendawo; kodwa uThixo uyabatshabalalisa abangendawo ngenxa yobungendawo babo.

13Ovingca iindlebe zakhe ekukhaleni kwesisweli, Naye uya kubiza, angaviwa.

14Isipho entsithelweni sisusa umsindo; Umvuzo esifubeni ususa umsindo.

15Kuluvuyo kwilungisa ukwenza okulungileyo; Ke abenzi bobubi baya kutshabalala.

16Umntu ondwendwayo emendweni wokuqonda uya kuhlala esikhungwini sabafileyo.

17Othanda iziyolo uya kuba lihlwempu; Othanda iwayini neoli akabi sisityebi.

18Ongendawo uya kuba yintlawulelo yelungisa, nalowo unxaxhayo abe yintlawulelo yelungisa.

19Kulungile ukuhlala entlango, Kunokuhlala nomfazi onengxabano neengqumbo.

20Kukho ubuncwane obunqwenelekayo neoli endlwini yesilumko; ke sona isidenge siyayonakalisa.

21Ophuthuma ubulungisa nenceba ubona ubomi nokusesikweni nozuko.

22Isilumko siyenyuka siye emzini wamagorha, siyitshabalalise inqaba esikholose ngayo.

23Obambe umlomo wakhe nolwimi lwakhe Ugcina umphefumlo wakhe ebubini.

24Igama lakhe lingumgxeki, umkhukhumali, Owenza ngokukhukhumala.

25Icebo lomntu liyambulala; ngokuba izandla zakhe azivumi ukusebenza.

26Unqwenela imini yonke, kodwa ilungisa aliniki, lingavimbi.

27Umbingelelo wabangendawo lisikizi; yimalini ayizisa ngengqondo engendawo?

28Ingqina elixokayo liyatshabalala; Ke yena ovayo usoloko ethetha.

29Indoda engendawo iyingwanyalala ubuso, Ke lona ilungisa liyayilungisa indlela yalo.

30Akukho bulumko nakuqonda okanye njongo nxamnye noYehova.

31Ihashe lilungiselwe imini yokulwa, kodwa usindiso luvela kuYehova.
