iNtshumayeli Intshumayeli 11 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Siphose isonka sakho phezu kwamanzi, ngokuba wosifumana kwakuba ziintsuku ezininzi.

2Yahlula izahlulo zibesixhenxe, zibe nesibhozo; ngokuba akuyazi into embi eya kubakho ehlabathini.

3Xa amafu ezele yimvula, agaleleka emhlabeni; ukuba umthi uthe wawa, wabheka ezantsi, nokuba uthe wabheka entla, kuloo ndawo uwe kuyo umthi lowo, yoba lapho.

4Okhangela umoya akayi kuhlwayela; nokhangela amafu akayi kuvuna.

5Kanye njengokuba ungayazi indlela yomphefumlo kwanendlela akhula ngayo amathambo esibelekweni somfazi omithiyo, ngokunjalo akuyazi imisebenzi kaThixo owenza zonke izinto.

6Yihlwayele imbewu yakho kusasa, ungasiphumzi isandla sakho ngokuhlwa;

7Ewe, kulungile ukukhanya, kuyathandeka kwamehlo ukulibona ilanga.

8Ukuba umntu uthe wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, wadla ubomi ebantwini bonke; Makakhumbule imihla yobumnyama; ngokuba baya kuba baninzi. Yonke into ezayo ingamampunge.

9Vuya, ndodana, ebutsheni bakho; ikuvuyise intliziyo yakho ngemihla yesijwili sakho, uhambe ngeendlela zentliziyo yakho, nangokukhangela kwamehlo akho; kodwa yazini ukuba uThixo uya kunigweba kuko konke oko.

10Yisuse ke ingqumbo entliziyweni yakho, ubudlulise ububi enyameni yakho; ngokuba ezintsha, ezintsha, amampunge.
