Amaculo 18 - Xhosa Bible 1864, 1902 (Appleyard)

ICULO XVIII.Liba̔lelwe umhlabeli omkulu, iculo lesicaka sika‐Yehova, lika‐Davide, owawateta ku‐Yehova amazwi eliculo ngomhla u‐Yehova wamsindisayo esandleni sazo zonke intshaba zake, nasesandleni sika‐Saule: wayesiti:

1NDOKUTANDA, Yehova, Mandla am!

2Uyehova uliliwa lam, nenqaba yam, nomkululi wam; utixo wam, ilityekazi lam; ndiya kutembela kuye: ikaka lam, nopondo lwosindiswa lwam, nenyango yam.

3Ndobiza kuyehova, odumisekayo; ndandiya kusindiswa ezintshabeni zam.

4Intambo zokufa zandiṙaula, nemisinga yobunginingini yandoyikisa;

5intambo zehadesi zandingqonga; imigibe yokufa yandipangela.

6Ebunzimeni bam ndabiza kuyehova, ndakala kutixo wam: weva ilizwi lam esetempileni yake; nokukala kwam ebusweni bake kweza ezindlebeni zake.

7Wandula umhlaba wazamazama, wangcangcazela; namasekwa entaba ashukuma, azamazama, ngokuba ebequmbile.

8Kwenyuka umsi empumlweni yake; nomlilo uvela emlonyeni wake wadla; amalahle avuta ngawo.

9Wagoba izulu, wehla: sasitokotoko pantsi kwenyawo zake.

10Wakwela pezu kwekerubime, wapapazela; wabaleka pezu kwamapiko omoya.

11Ubumnyama wabenza imfihlelo yake; intente yake yampahla, amanzi amnyama, amafu abungqingqwa ezulu.

12Ngenkazimlo epambi kwake kwadlula amafu ake, izico̔to, namalahle omlilo.

13Uyehova wadudumisa ezulwini; opezu kwonke wanika ilizwi lake, izico̔to, namalahle omlilo.

14Watuma intolo zake, wabaci̔ta; wongezelela ngemibane, wabapitizelisa.

15Kwandula kwabonakala amazantsi amanzi, atyileka namasekwa omhlaba, ngokutetisa kwako, Yehova! ngokuquta kwomoya wempumlo yako.

16Wasusa pezulu, wanditabata; wandir̔ola emanzini amaninzi;

17wandisindisa elutshabeni lwam olunamandla; nakwabo banditiyayo; ngokuba bebendidlula ngamandla.

18Bandipangela ngomhla wengozi yam; kodwa uyehova ebesisixaso kum.

19Wandipumisela endaweni ebanzi, wandikulula, ngokuba ebekoliswa ndim.

20 Uyehova wandivuza njengokwobulungisa bam; njengokwobumhlope bezandla zam wandibuyekezela.

21Ngokuba ndizibambile indlela zikayehova, ndandingemkanga ngenkohlakalo kutixo wam.

22Ngokuba zonke izigwebo zake zibe zipambi kwam; nemimiso yake andiyipambukisanga kum.

23Bendilungisekile pambi kwake, ndandizibamba enkohlakalweni yam:

24ngako uyehova undibuyekezele njengokwobulungisa bam, njengokwobumhlope bezandla zam pambi kwamehlo ake.

25Konobubele uyazibonakalisa unobubele; kumntu olungisekile uyazibonakalisa ulungisekile;

26komsulwa uyazibonakalisa umsulwa; nakogwenxa uyazibonakalisa ugwenxa.

27Ngokuba abantu ababandezelweyo ubasindisa wena; kodwa amehlo eratshi uyawatobisa.

28Ngokuba wena ubaneka isibane sam: uyehova, utixo wam, uyakanyisa ubumnyama bam.

29Ngokuba ngawe ndiliwele ibandla; kwa ngaye utixo wam ndigqitile eludongeni.

30Utixo indlela yake ifezekile ukulunga; ilizwi likayehova licocekile: ulikaka yena kubo bonke abatembela kuye.

31Ngokuba ngubanina o ngutixo ngapandle kwoyehova? ngubanina olilityekazi ngapandle kwotixo wetu?

32Ngutixo ondibinqayo ngamandla; owenza nendlela yam ilungiseke.

33Uyenza inyawo zam zibe njengezamaxamakazi; uyandimisa ezinyangweni zam.

34Uyafundisa izandla zam ukulwa, side sityedwe isipeta sexina ngengalo zam.

35Undipile ikaka losindiso lwako; isandla sako sokunene sindisekele; ukululama kwako kundenze mkulu.

36Wabusenza banzi ukunyatela kwam pantsi kwam; ati amaqata am akahexa.

37Ndaputuma intshaba zam, ndazifumana; andabuya ndada ndazigqibela.

38Ndazityumza, zaza zakohlwa kuvuka; zawa pantsi kwenyawo zam.

39Ngokuba ubundibinqela ukulwa ngamandla; ubatobisile pantsi kwam abo babesukela ngakum:

40wandinika umhlana wentshaba zam; ndize nditshabalalise abo banditiyayo.

41Bakala, kodwa bekungeko osindisayo; kwa kuyehova, kodwa akabapendula.

42Ndaza ndabaguba njengotuli ngapambi kwomoya; ndabalahla njengenkunkuma yezitarate.

43Undikulule emapikeni abantu; undimisele ndibe yintloko yezizwe; abantu endingabazanga bayandikonza.

44Ngokuva kwendlebe bayapulapula kum; abasemzini bayazenzisa kum.

45Abasemzini bayasinya; bayankwantya bepuma ezinqatyeni zabo.

46 Uyehova uhleli; malibongwe ilityekazi lam; makadunyiswe utixo wosindiswa lwam.

47Ngutixo ondenzela impindezelo, oweyisa izizwe pantsi kwam,

48ondisindisa ezintshabeni zam: ewe, wena undipakamisele ngapezulu kwabo basukela ngakum; undikulule emntwini wobudlwengu.

49Ngako oko ndobulela kuwe, Yehova! pakati kwabaheyideni, ndicule egameni lako:

50owandisa intsindiswa zokumkani wake; owenza ububele kumtanjiswa wake, ku‐Davide, nakuyo inzalo yake kude kube ngunapakade.
