iMizekeliso Imizekiliso 22 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Igama elilungileyo lingaphezulu kobutyebi obuninzi; Isimilo esilungileyo silunge ngaphezu kwesilivere negolide.

2Izityebi namahlwempu bayahlangana: uYehova nguMdali wazo zonke izinto.

3Umntu osisilumko, xa angaboni nto imbi, azifihle; ke zona izinyabi ziya kugqitha kuyo;

4Ukuthobeka nokoyika uYehova bubutyebi, nozuko, nobomi.

5Ameva nezirhintyelo endleleni yabangendawo; Lowo uwugcinayo kuzo umphefumlo wakhe.

6Mfundise umntwana indlela ethe tye, Nokuba athe wamkhulu, akasayi kumka kuyo.

7Isityebi siya kuwalawula amahlwempu; Nobolekayo ngumkhonzi endodeni embolekayo.

8Ohlwayela ubugqwetha, wovuna into engeyako; nomsimelelo wokuvutha komsindo wakhe wotshabalala.

9Oliso libanzi uya kusikelelwa; ngokuba unika amahlwempu isonka sakhe.

10Mgxothe umgxeki, kusuke ingxabano; ewe, iingxabano nonyeliso ziya kuphela.

11Othanda intliziyo ehlambulukileyo, Ngenxa yenceba yomlomo wakhe, ukumkani ungumhlobo wakhe.

12Amehlo kaYehova agcina ukwazi, Uyalitshabalalisa ilizwi labangendawo.

13Wathi uSebhodu, Kukho ingonyama phandle, ndiya kubulawa ebaleni.

14Liqula elinzulu umlomo wabafazi bolunye uhlanga; omgibayo uYehova uya kuwela kuyo.

15Ukumatha kubotshiwe entliziyweni yomntwana; Ke yona intonga yesohlwayo iya kumsusa kuye.

16Ocudisa isisweli, ukuba andise ubutyebi baso; Nowabela isityebi, uya kuswela yena.

17Thoba indlebe yakho, uve amazwi ezilumko, Uyibhekise intliziyo yakho ekwazini kwam.

18Ngokuba kumnandi, xa uthe wawagcina embilinini; ziya kuwufanela umlomo wakho.

19Ukuze ithemba lakho likuYehova, ndikwazisile namhlanje.

20Andinibhalelanga na izinto ezimangalisayo, ezinamacebo nokwazi?

21Ndiya kwazisa inyaniso yamazwi enyaniso; Ukuba uphendule amazwi enyaniso, ubaphendule abo bakuthumayo?

22Musa ukusihlutha isisweli, ngokuba lilihlwempu; uze ungawacinezeli amahlwempu emnyango.

23Ngenxa yokuba uYehova uya kubamela aze awutshabalalise umphefumlo wabo baphangayo.

24Musani ukunxulumana nomntu onomsindo; kwaye ungahambi nomntu onomsindo.

25Hleze ungazifundi iindlela zayo, Uwufumanele umgibe umphefumlo wakho.

26Musa ukuba phakathi kwabaqhwabayo, Ozibambisayo ngezinto ezibolekiweyo.

27Ukuba uthe akwaba nanto yakuhlawula, Yini na ukuba athabathe ukhuko lwakho phantsi kwakho?

28Musa ukuwususa umda omdala, abawumisayo ooyihlo;

29Uyambona na umntu okhutheleyo? uya kuma phambi kookumkani; akanakuma phambi kongendawo.
