uMalaki uMalaki 2 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Oonyana bababingeleli batshatyalaliswa

1Ngoku ke lo mthetho ubhekiswa kuni, babingeleli.

2Ukuba anithanga niphulaphule, anavuma ukulizukisa igama lam entliziyweni yenu, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; ndonithumela isiqalekiso, ndiya kuziqalekisa iintsikelelo zenu; ziqalekise, ngokuba ungazibekeli ntliziyo.

3Yabona, ndiyayichitha inzala yakho, nditshize umswane ebusweni bakho, nomswane wemithendeleko yakho; yaye omnye uya kunithabatha kunye nayo.

4Niya kuqonda ke ukuba ndim lo unithumele lo myalelo, ukuze ungabikho umnqophiso wam noLevi; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

5Umnqophiso wam naye ububomi noxolo; ndamnika ngenxa yokoyika awandoyika ngako, nangenxa yokoyika igama lam.

6Umthetho wokwenyaniso wawusemlonyeni wakhe, yaye ububi akuzange kufumaneke emlonyeni wakhe; wahamba nam enoxolo nangobulungisa, etyeka ebubini.

7Kuba umlomo wombingeleli ngowokugcina ukwazi, nomthetho ufanele kufunwa emlonyeni wakhe, kuba ungumthunywa kaYehova wemikhosi.

8Ke nina nilahlekile; nikhubekise abaninzi emthethweni; niwaphule umnqophiso kaLevi; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

9Ngoko ke nam ndaninenza abadelekileyo nabangenamsebenzi ebantwini bonke, ngenxa yokuba anizigcinanga iindlela zam, kodwa naba nomkhethe emthethweni.

10Asinguye na ubawo mnye sonke? Xa ndisithi sidalwe nguThixo omnye? Yini na ukuba sone elowo kumzalwana wakhe, siwuhlambele umnqophiso woobawo?

11uYuda wenze ngobumenemene, kwenziwe amasikizi kwaSirayeli naseYerusalem; kuba uYuda wayebuhlambele ubungcwele bukaYehova awayemthanda waza watshata intombi yothixo wasemzini.

12Nabani na owenza oko, uYehova uya kumshenxisa ezintenteni zikaYakobi nakulowo ufundisayo nakulowo uzisa umbingelelo kuYehova wemikhosi.

13Oko ke nenze oku ngokusigubungela isibingelelo sikaYehova ngeenyembezi, ngokulila, nangokukhwaza, ukuze angabi sawukhangela umbingelelo, angawamkeli ngovuyo ezandleni zenu.

14Ke nina nithi, Ngani na? Ngenxa yokuba uYehova ebelingqina phakathi kwakho nomfazi wobutsha bakho, lowo wonayo kuye; noko ke, liqabane lakho, ngumfazi womnqophiso wakho.

15Akayenzanga na enye? Nakuba kunjalo, wayenazo iintsalela zomoya. Kwaye kutheni? Ukuze afune imbewu yobuthixo. Ke kaloku, yigcineni imiphefumlo yenu, yaye makungabikho bani owonayo kumfazi wobutsha bakhe.

16Ngokuba, uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, uthi, uluthiyile ulwaluko; ngokuba umntu ugubungela ubugwenxa ngengubo yakhe, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; Zigcineni ke imiphefumlo yenu, ukuze ningenzi ubugqwetha.

17Nimdinisile uYehova ngamazwi enu. Ke nina nithi, Simhluphe ngantoni? Xa nithi, Bonke abenza okubi balungile emehlweni kaYehova, uyakholiswa ngabo; okanye: Uphi na uThixo womgwebo?
