iNtshumayeli Intshumayeli 1 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Amazwi omprofeti, unyana kaDavide, ukumkani waseYerusalem.

2Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli, amampunge awo amampunge; yonke into ingamampunge.

3Unalungelo lini umntu emigudwini yakhe yonke, ayenzayo phantsi kwelanga?

4Kumka esinye isizukulwana, kuza esinye isizukulwana, kodwa elimiweyo limi ngonaphakade.

5Ilanga liyaphuma kwakhona, ilanga litshona lize liphikele kwindawo yalo apho liphume khona.

15Into egoso ayinakolulwa; nento engekhoyo ayinakubalwa.

17Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ekwazini ubulumko, nasekwazini ubugeza nobuyatha;
