Bible Reading Plan – Day 233

“Nasi isicaka sam endisixhasayo.

Yena ngumnyulwa wam ondikholisayo;

ndimthe jize ngoMoya wam,

izizwe zonk' uziphakel' ubulungisa.

₂Yena akakhwazi amemeze;

hayi, akadanduluki ezitalatweni.

₃Ingcongolo ecekethekileyo soze ayaphule,

nesibane esilozisayo soze asicime,

koko uphak' ubulungisa ngokunyaniseka.

₄Yena ke soze atyhafe adangale,

de aphak' ubulungisa ehlabathini;

nezizw' ezikude zilindel' umthetho wakhe.”

₅Nalu udaba lukaThixo uNdikhoyo,

umdali owatwabulula amazulu;

nguye owalaneka ihlabathi nako konk' okwalo;

abemi balo wabaphakel' ubomi,

abantu balo wabanik' ukuphefumla:

₆“Mna Ndikhoyo ndikubizile;

ewe, ndingothembekileyo.

Kaloku ndosoloko ndinawe,

ndikulondoloze,

ndikwenze umnqophiso nabantu bam,

ube kukukhanya ezizweni.

₇Wena uza kuvula amehlo eemfama;

nguwe oza kukhulula amabanjwa;

nguwe oza kuvula intolongo emnyama.

₈“Mna *ndinguNdikhoyo – igama lam ncakasana.

Ubungangamsha bam andinikisi ngabo;

udumo lwam aluzuzwa *yimifanekiso enqulwayo.

₉Zinto endazixelayo zenzekile,

futhi nezintsha ngoku ndiyazibhengeza;

ewe, ndizixela zingekathungululi.”

₁₀Ntyilozani niculele *uNdikhoyo ingoma entsha.

Malimdumise limbonge ihlabathi jikelele;

nditsho nani nonke abahamba phezu kolwandle.

Mazingathi cwaka nezilwanyana zolwandle;

nezikud' izizwe mazibonge zibongisele.

₁₁Mayidumise nentlango nezixeko zayo;

nabaseKedare mabadumise uThixo;

nabaseSela mabamemelele ngemincili;

ewe, mabamemeze naphezu kweentaba.

₁₂Nabo bemi kwizizwe ezikude

mabamdumise uNdikhoyo.

₁₃UNdikhoyo yena ufunza njengegorha;

yena selequle wada waligangatha.

Nankw' esitsho ngentlaba-mkhosi,

nto leyo idiza ukutshatshela kwakhe.

₁₄*UNdikhoyo uthethe wathi:

“Kaloku sekumzuzu ndithe cwaka;

suka ndadl' imu ndazibamba.

Ngoku ke okomfazi osikwa yinimba

ndozibhija-bhija ndide ndibhonge.

₁₅Iinduli neentaba ndosuka ndizibhulule,

okwakuyingca nemithi ndikomise.

Imilambo ndoyibharhisa yome khonkqo,

imigxobhozo nezadunge zitshe khothe.

₁₆Iimfama ndozihambisa ngeendlela ezingazaziyo;

ewe, ndozikhokela ngomendo ongaqhelekanga.

Kubo ubumnyama ndobujika bube kukukhanya;

iingxondorha zojika zibe ngamathafa.

Ezo zinto ndiya kuzenza;

futhi ke soze ndizityeshele konke.

₁₇Ke bona abakholosa *ngemifanekiso,

abo bayinqulayo besithi: ‘*Ningoothixo bethu,’

ngenene baya kuphoxeka bahlazeke.”

₁₈*UNdikhoyo uthethe wathi:

“Khaniphulaphule ke, nani zithulu;

khangelani nibone, nani zimfama.

₁₉Kakade ngubani oyimfama kunesicaka sam?

Sithulu saphi esidlula isigidimi sam?

Ngubani oyimfama okwalowo ungowam;

nditsho oyimfama njengesicaka sikaNdikhoyo?

₂₀Ewe, ubonile kambe, Sirayeli;

nto nje ayikuncedanga nto loo nto;

uvile kambe nangeendlebe zakho,

kodwa suka awaphulaphula.”

₂₁UNdikhoyo othembekileyo yena ulangazelel' ukunceda;

imfundiso yakhe uyayiqaqambisa.

₂₂Kambe ke aba bantu zizisulu zokuxhatshazwa;

sebatshixelwa kwamnyama-ndawo,

bade baya kufihlwa ezintolongweni.

Ziindwayi ezingamaxhob' ukuxhatshazwa;

ziintw' ezingenabani wakuzihlangula.

Akakho othi: “Godukani ngoku.”

₂₃Yaz'ba ngubani na ozimiseleyo ukuphulaphula

ukuze aqonde kwixa elizayo?

₂₄Nguban' ophise ngoYakobi kubaphangi,

onikele ngoSirayeli kubaxhaphazi?

IkwanguNdikhoyo lo sikreqe kuye,

sisuke asahamba ngendlela yakhe,

suka asaphulaphula simthobele.

₂₅Suka ke wavulela umsindo wakhe,

ukuze thina sidad' emfazweni.

Utsho ngomsind' odangazelayo,

koko uSirayeli tu ukuqonda;

suka wavaleka mpela-mpela,

akahoya nokuhoya.

“Uze ungaxhali wena, ndikuhlawulele;

ndikubize ngegama, ungowam ncakasana.

₂Noba sewucand' emanzini,

mna ndiya kuba nawe;

noba sowuwela imilambo,

ayisoze ibe nako ukukukhukulisa;

nditsho sowucand' emlilweni, soze urhawuke;

amadangatye akanakukutshisa wena.

₃Kaloku mna Ndikhoyo ndinguThixo wakho,

uYedwa kaSirayeli, uMhlanguli wakho.

Ndinikezela ngeJiputa ukukuhlawulela;

iKushe neSebha zothath' indawo yakho.

₄Kum uxabisekile ke kambe;

yeka elo wonga, andikuthandi ngako!

Ndincam' izizwe ngenxa yakho;

ndinikezel' iintlanga, ndizuze wena.

₅Uze ungaxhali, ndinawe mna;

inzala yakho ndoyiqokelela empumalanga,

nina ndiniphuthume nasentshonalanga.

₆Kwelasentla ndothi: ‘Bakhulule bagoduke,’

kwelasezantsi ndithi: ‘Ungabathinteli.’

Oonyana bam babuyise kwelikude,

neentombi zam eziphelweni zehlabathi,

₇nditsho wonke umntu obizwa ngegama lam,

wonke endamdalela udumo lwam,

wonke endambumbayo ndamenza.”

₈Yiza nâbo bantu bangaboniyo benamehlo,

uze nâbo bangaphulaphuliyo beneendlebe.

₉Zibizeni zonke izizwe;

mazihlanganisane iintlanga.

*Koothixo bazo nguwuphi owayixelayo le nto yenzekayo namhlanje,

wasazisa nangezinto ezenzeke mandulo?

Ewe, mazize nawazo amangqina,

khon' ukuze abevayo bathi: “Axel' inyaniso.”

₁₀“Ke nina ningamangqina am,” utsho uNdikhoyo,

“izicaka zam endazinyulayo,

ukuze nindazi nikholose ngam,

niqonde ukuba ndinguye endinguye.

Ngaphambi kwam akukhange kubekho thixo;

ewe, yaye engasoze abekho.

₁₁Mna ndim uNdikhoyo,

ndim ndedwa ohlangulayo.

₁₂Mna andingothixo wasemzini kuni.

Kaloku ndaxela, ndahlangula, ndavakalisa.

Nina ngokwenu ningamangqina am ukuba ndinguThixo,”

utsho uNdikhoyo.

₁₃“Ewe, bendingokhoyo kwamandulo;

akukho kuphuncuka esandleni sam;

endikwenzayo akujikwa mntu.”

₁₄*UNdikhoyo uMkhululi wenu,

yena uYedwa kaSirayeli, uthi:

“Ngenxa yenu ndothumela eBhabheli,

atsho amaKaledi asabe ngezo nqanawa zawo zeqhayiya.

₁₅Mna ndinguNdikhoyo, uYedwa wenu,

uMdali noKumkani wakho, Sirayeli.”

₁₆Utsho uNdikhoyo,

umavul' indlela enqumla elwandle,

nditsho indlela ecanda kumsinga olephuzayo;

₁₇umkhosi wamagorha wawurholela enzonzobileni,

uwonke nje iinqwelo namahashe;

wafadalala, soze uphinde uthini,

wafuthaniselwa mpela njengekhandlela:

₁₈“Kambe ke sanukubambelela kwisiganeko sezolo;

hayi bo, sanukunokoza ezamandulo.

₁₉Khangelani ke, ngoku ndenza entsha;

ewe, seyisenzeka, nani niyayibona.

Ndiza kuvul' indlela enkangala,

kutsho kuqukuqele imilambo entlango.

₂₀Neenyamakazi ngokwazo zondihlonela,

oodyakalashe neenciniba zindincome,

xa sendimpompozis' amanz' entlango,

kubalek' imilambo enkangala,

khon' ukuze lusel' usapho lwam,

nditsho usapho olukhethiweyo,

₂₁bantu abo ke ndazidalelayo,

khon' ukuze bandidumise.”

₂₂*UNdikhoyo uthi:

“Suka ke wena, Yakobi, akwandinqula;

ewe, suka akwaziduba ngam, wena Sirayeli.

₂₃Akuwenzelanga mna amadini atshiswayo;

ewe, akundiwonganga ngeminikelo.

Phofu akuxhanyulwanga ndim ngamadini;

andikukhathazanga nangaziqhumiso.

₂₄Akundenzelanga siqhumiso sivumba limnandi,

ungandanelisanga nangamanqatha ezilwanyana;

suka wandisinda ngezono zakho,

wandikruqula ngemikhuba oyenzayo.

₂₅“Ukanti mna ndim ozisusayo izono zakho.

Ndenjenjalo ngenxa yesidima sam;

ukundivukela kwakho sobe ndibe sakukhumbula.

₂₆Yiza ke undimangalele;

yiza kaloku sixoxe,

ukuze kucace onetyala.

₂₇Kaloku ukhokho wenu wôna,

neenkokheli zenu zandivukela.

₂₈Mna ndozihlazisa izithwala-ndwe zesibingelelo senu,

ngoko ke uYakobi ndomzisela intshabalalo;

ewe, amaSirayeli ndiwayekele abe sisigculelo.”
