Bible Reading Plan – Day 268

₂“Ekho nje uThixo, lo undivimb' ubulungisa,

nditsho uSomandla lo uwenze umphefumlo wam wangcamla ubukrakra:

₃Ukuba ndisaxomoloza ndisadl' amazimba,

xa ngaba ndisaphila ndinomphefumlo kaThixo emathatheni am,

₄imilebe yam ayisokuze ithethe inkohlakalo,

ngokunjalo nolwimi lwam alusoze luthethe inkohliso.

₅Andisoze ndithi ninyanisile,

futhi ndiya kude ndife ndibambelele kwinyaniso yokuba ndimsulwa.

₆Ndiya kuthi nca kwinto yokuba ndililungisa;

andisoze ndibe nasazela yonke imihla yam.

₇“Akwaba utshaba lwam lwafumana isohlwayo sabakhohlakeleyo,

ngokunjalo nombandezeli wam azuze isiphelo sabangenabulungisa.

₈Liyintoni na ithemba labangenaThixo

mhla wabunqumla ubomi babo uThixo?

₉Xa sele kunyembelekile kubo,

uthi uThixo angaze asive isikhalo sabo?

₁₀Khona bangaziyolisa na ngoSomandla?

Bangamnqula na uThixo ngamaxesha onke?

₁₁“Makhe ndinifundise ngobukhulu bamandla kaThixo;

mandingazifihli izicwangciso zikaSomandla.

₁₂Hayi gxebe, senizibonele nje ngokwenu;

ngani ke ukuba nibe sathetha imfungu-mfungu enje?

₁₃“Naso ke isabelo sezikhohlakali kuThixo;

elo ke lilifa lezibhoja kuSomandla.

₁₄Noba zingade zibe nenyambalala yoonyana

bosuka babe lilifa lekrele emfazweni;

ewe, inzala yazo yasoloko ithiwe nca liphango!

₁₅Nemingqandanda esindileyo itshayelwa ngubhubhani,

baze nabahlolokazi bazo bangalili nokulila.

₁₆Noba zingade zibe nemfumba yesiliva ngathi luthuli,

zibe nempahla yokwambatha efumbe okodongwe,

₁₇kosuka kuthi gqi lungisa lithile inxitywe lilo loo mpahla;

kosuka kuvele abantu abamsulwa babelane ngaloo siliva.

₁₈Isikhohlakali sakha indlu efana nesingxobo seqonya;

sakha into engathi liphempe labalindi.

₁₉Isikhohlakali silala sinobutyebi, kodwa siyagqibelisa –

sivuka sebuphel' emehlweni.

₂₀Sisuka sirhwaqele ngathi siyarhaxwa;

kaloku sitshayelwa sisaqhwithi ngobhadakazi.

₂₁Kufika umoya wasempuma usitshayele,

usuke usinqukrule singabi sazana nekhaya laso.

₂₂Usuka usilenge ungenalusini tu;

nakanjani kufuneka siwasabe amandla awo.

₂₃Ewe, umoya usiqhwabela izandla,

usihewule isikhohlakali simke endaweni yaso.”

₁“Ewe, ikho imigodi yesiliva; ngokunjalo zikho neendawo zokuhluza igolide.

₂Abantu bemba isinyithi emhlabeni,

baze banyibilikise ubhedu olusematyeni.

₃Nenzonzobila yobumnyama abantu bayayihlola-hlola;

baphicotha namathumbu omhlaba,

baze bembe bacubungule kwimiwewe enzongo-nzongo yenzonzobila.

₄Kude lé kwelimiweyo,

apho kungazange kwathi cakatha mntu,

abantu bayemba bavule imigodi,

bajinga-jinge kwalunkcwe,

bebotshelelwe ngeentambo.

₅Phezulu apha lo mhlaba uvelisa ukudla;

kanti ngaphantsi phaya ubhukuqwa ngathi ngumlilo.

₆Kumatye omhlaba kuphuma iisafire,

kanti ke lona uthuli lwawo luvelisa igolide.

₇Amaxhalanga ngokwawo akazazi iindlela zasemigodini phaya,

ngokunjalo zange zalanywa naliliso likakhetshe.

₈Amarhamncwa anyalasayo akazange athi cakatha unyawo apho,

nkqu nengonyama ayizange yadlula khona.

₉Kaloku abantu baqhekeza bagqale nditsho nenyengane le;

ewe, neentaba ngokwazo bayazibhukuqa, bazisiphule neengcambu.

₁₀Basuka bagqobhoze iitonela emaweni,

lize iliso labo liwabhaqe amatye axabisekileyo.

₁₁Imithombo yakhona bayayivingca ingampompozi,

baze bazidandalazise izinto ezifihlakeleyo.

₁₂“Kambe ke, bungaze bufumaneke phi ubulumko?

Khona lona ulwazi lungazuzwa phi?

₁₃Ewe, ubulumko abunakufumaneka ebantwini;

kaloku akukho namnye ulaziyo nexabiso labo.

₁₄Andithi na kaloku kwankqu neenzonzobila ezinzongo-nzongo,

nditsho neelwandle, ziyabulandula?

₁₅Kaloku bona abungekhe bufumaneke nangegolide ecikizekileyo,

kanti nentabalala yesiliva ayinako ukubuhlawula.

₁₆Neyona golide yaseOfire iyalaba-laba kwixabiso labo;

nditsho namatye exabiso, nokuba yionike okanye yisafire.

₁₇Ewe, abunakulinganiswa negolide,

ukanti abunakuthelekiswa nayo nemveliso yegolide,

nditsho nayo neglasi yodidi.

₁₈Asisathethi ke ngeekorale neekristale,

kuba kaloku bona ubulumko bubalasele ngexabiso,

ndithi bugqwesa kwaiiperile.

₁₉Ewe, netopazi yaseKushe ayinakulinganiswa nabo,

ngokunjalo abunakuthengwa nangeyona ihluziweyo igolide.

₂₀Ke, ngaba uphi owona mthombo wobulumko?

Umntu angalufumana phi ulwazi?

₂₁Abubonakali kuzo zonke izinto eziphilileyo,

nditsho nakweyona intingayo intaka.

₂₂Ewe, nokufa nentshabalalo, zombini ziyavuma,

zithi: ‘Luvakele nje umingi-mingi ngabo ezindlebeni zethu!’

₂₃NguThixo kuphela owaziyo ngobulumko;

nguye owaziyo umthombo wabo.

₂₄Kaloku yena ubona nditsho namaphethelo ehlabathi,

kuba kuye akukho nanye into efihlakeleyo phantsi kwamazulu.

₂₅Ngokuya uThixo wayemisela umoya amandla awo,

namanzi ewacandela umda wawo,

₂₆nemvula eyenzela ummiselo wayo,

nombane ewalathisa indlela,

₂₇kanye ngelo thuba ke uThixo wabubona wabuphicotha ubulumko,

waza ke wabumisela wabugoca-goca.

₂₈Ke uluntu waluyalela wathi:

‘Niyabona, ofuna ubulumko makathobele uThixo;

ofuna ukuzuza ulwazi makabucezele ububi.’ ”

₂“Awu, akwaba ibinokubuyiselwa kum imihla yamandulo,

ngokuya uThixo wayesandilondolozile,

₃xenikweni isibane sakhe besikhanya phezu kwentloko yam,

xa ndanditabhata nasebumnyameni endikhanyisela.

₄Ewe, ngaloo mihla yamfamlibe ndandimi kakuhle;

bendilala ngangubo-nye noThixo emzini wam.

₅USomandla wayengakum ngoko,

ndiphahlwe ngabantwana bam.

₆Ngaloo mihla amasi ayedlal' abantwana kwam;

ke yona iminquma ichuma nasematyeni, ithulula ioyile.

₇“Ndandisithi ndakufika enkundleni ngasesangweni,

ndakuthi zinzi phakathi kwamadoda amakhulu,

₈abafana bathi gu bucala,

ke zona iingwevu zime ngeenyawo.

₉Ewe, ayesuka aphel' emqaleni kumatshawe,

ufike selethe khebevu!

₁₀Izikhulu zazisithi cwaka

ngathi ulwimi lukhulekiwe enkalakahleni.

₁₁Abandiva ndithetha babendincoma,

kanti ababona izinto endizenzayo babendingqinela.

₁₂Kaloku ndandisabela ndiwahlangule amahlwempu esakukhala;

ukanti ndazibonelela neenkedama ezazingenamncedi.

₁₃Ababesindakala ndaza ndabanceda babendincoma,

ukanti nabahlolokazi ndandibanceda batsho baba neengoma ezintliziyweni zabo.

₁₄Ndandivatha ubulungisa njengesinxibo sam;

ukwenza okulungileyo kwakuyingubo yam neqhiya yam.

₁₅Ndandingamehlo kwiimfama,

ndiziinyawo koqhwalelayo.

₁₆Ndandingutata kumahlwempu,

neengxaki zabasemzini bendizithabathela kum.

₁₇Yayindim umaphul' iimpondo kwizibhoja,

amaxhoba azo ndiwathi hlasi emilonyeni yazo.

₁₈“Ndandisithi: ‘Ndiya kukhula ndide ndikhokhobe endlwini yam,

nemihla yam ibe mininzi njengentlabathi.’

₁₉Ndandifana nomthi ongcambu zinabele emanzini,

omasebe asoloko elalelwa ngumbethe.

₂₀Udumo lwam lwaluhlala luhlaziyeka,

amandla am engapheli nokuphela.

₂₁“Ndandisithi ndakuthetha kutsho kuthi cwaka,

abantu bewaphulaphula amacebiso am.

₂₂Ndandilebela xa ndithethayo, kungekho mntu unokongeza;

kaloku amazwi am ayezika njengemvula.

₂₃Ndandilangazelelwa oku kwemvula,

amazwi am bewaginya oku komhlaba uginy' imvula entlakohlaza.

₂₄Babekhuthazeka ndakuncuma;

ukukhululeka kobuso bam bekubomeleza.

₂₅Ndandingqendeva njengomnumzana, ndithethe kume ngam;

ndandibakhokela njengenjengele kwimikhosi yayo;

ndandibaxhasa njengothuthuzela abadakumbileyo.”

₁“Xa kunamhlanje-nje sendisisigculelo nakubafana abayise bendingabazele nto,

ebendingeze ndabashiya nezinja zam ezalusa iigusha.

₂Bebeligquba nje ekungekho yalo,

amabhetye-bhetye angenakwenza nto tu!

₃Bangamahlwempu alambayo, ahamba ngobusuku,

ufike enqunquda iingcambu emqwebedwini phaya.

₄Balamba kangangokuba ungafika besimba iinqoba emqwebedwini,

bade batye neengcambu zemithi.

₅Abantu babagxothile phakathi kwabo;

basuke babahewula bangathi bachil' isela!

₆Kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba baye kuhlala emiqolombeni,

emingxunyeni, nasezimfanteni emaweni.

₇Bakhonya phakathi kwamatyholo,

ufike sebethe buthalala phantsi kwemithi.

₈Awu, ziinjubaqa;

sisizukulwana soongantweni eside sagxothwa nakwelakowazo!

₉“Ngoku ke sebendicabela nasezingomeni zabo;

ewe, sendisisimbo nesigculelo sabo.

₁₀Ewe, ngoku bandidelile, bayandenyanya;

bathi bangandibona banditshicele ebusweni!

₁₁Ngenxa yokuba uThixo undiyekele ndatsho ndangugqush' eluthulini,

nabo ke ngoku baziqhawule iintambo zokulawulwa ndim.

₁₂Ngasekunene bafunzela ukundihlasela belihlokondiba;

ewe, bayandijoka, futhi sebezimisele ukundihlabanisela.

₁₃Bayandiqhiwulela endleleni, befuna ukundigqiba,

besithi: ‘Akanabani ongamncedayo.’

₁₄Bandihlasela ngathi batyhoboza kwindawo ebanzi;

baphoseka kum becanda amabhodlo.

₁₅Ngoku ke sendirhawulwe kukunkwantya;

isidima sam sivuthuluke ngathi siyavuthelwa,

ukukhuseleka kwam kubhange oku komfankungu.

₁₆“Ngoku ndisebugxwayibeni,

kuba imihla yenkathazo indibambile.

₁₇Ebusuku ndiqaqanjelwa nangamathambo la;

iintlungu ezindidlayo azipheli.

₁₈Ndigxavulwa ngeempahla zokunxiba, ndidlakazeliswe;

ndiyakrwitshwa sisambatho, ndibanjwe ngobhongwana.

₁₉UThixo undiphose eludakeni;

andisento, sendifana nothuli nothuthu.

₂₀Ndiba ngakhala ndikubongoza, akundiphenduli;

ndiba ngazibika kuwe, akundihoyi.

₂₁Wena ngoku ujike wandikhohlakalela,

undihlasela ngengalo yakho enamandla.

₂₂Uyandiphakamisa undiyekele ngomoya undibhudle;

ndiyaqotha-qotheka ndiqwengwa sisaqhwithi.

₂₃Ndiyaqonda ke ukuba undinikezela ekufeni,

apho baya kuphelela khona bonke abaphilayo.

₂₄“Kambe akukho hlwempu elizibikayo endingalincedanga,

nditsho elaliphakamisela izandla kum licela uncedo.

₂₅Andithi na kaloku ndandilila kunye nabasezingxakini,

umphefumlo wam udandatheka ngenxa yamahlwempu?

₂₆Mna ndithe ndijonge okuhle kwathi gqi okubi;

bendilindele ukukhanya, suka kwathi nyalulu ubumnyama.

₂₇Ndithiwe fithi lunxunguphalo, alundiphe thuba;

imihla ngemihla ndihlangatyezwa yinkathazo.

₂₈Ukukhanya akukho, ndihamba ndigutyungelwe bubumnyama;

into endiyenzayo embizweni kukuzibika.

₂₉Ngoku sendingumlingane woodyakalashe;

ewe, ndiliqabane leenciniba.

₃₀Ulusu lwam selujike lwamnyama, futhi luyaxobuka,

ibe ke nomzimba wam lo uyagcadeka.

₃₁Ihapu yam ngoku seyijike yaba yeyesililo,

nefluthi yam ngoku seyisenza isijwili.”
