iZililo Izililo 5 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Kwenzeka ntoni kwixesha elidlulileyo

1Kukhumbule, Yehova, okusihleleyo; Lumka, ulibone ihlazo lethu.

2Ilifa lethu lidlulele kwabasemzini, nezindlu zethu kolunye uhlanga;

3Siziinkedama neenkedama, Ooomama bethu ngabahlolokazi.

4Amanzi ethu siwasele ngemali; iinkuni zethu zathengiswa.

5Zicinezelekile iintamo zethu: Sisebenza nzima, asiphumli.

6Sasiza kumaYiputa nama-Asiriya, ukuba ahluthe ngesonka;

7Oobawo bonile, abasekho; sabuthwala ubugwenxa babo.

8Besilawulwa ngabakhonzi, kungekho usihlangulayo esandleni sabo.

9Isonka sethu sisithabatha ngokubeka umphefumlo wethu esichengeni, ngenxa yekrele entlango.

10Ulusu lwethu lumnyama njengeziko Ngenxa yokulamba.

11Bazukisa abafazi baseZiyon, Umthinjana emizini yakwaYuda.

12Baxhonywe abathetheli ngezandla; ubuso bamadoda amakhulu buhlazekile.

13Bathabatha abafana ukuba basile, abantwana bawa phantsi kweenkuni.

14Amadoda amakhulu ema esangweni, amadodana eneengoma zawo;

15Iphelile imihlali yentliziyo yethu; Umngqungqo wethu ube sisikhalo.

16Siwele isithsaba entlokweni yethu; Yeha ke thina xa sonile!

17Ngenxa yoko idiniwe intliziyo; ngenxa yezo zinto amehlo ethu anorhatyazo.

18Ngenxa yentaba yaseZiyon, kuba ibharhile, Kuhamba iimpungutye phezu kwayo.

19Yehova, uhleli ngonaphakade; Itrone yakho ikwisizukulwana ngesizukulwana.

20Yini na ukuba usilibale ngonaphakade, Usishiye kude kube kude?

21Yehova, masizohlwaye ngawe, size sizohlwaye; hlaziya imihla yethu njengesiqhelo.

22Kodwa yena usilahlile okunene; unomsindo omkhulu kuthi.
