Bible Reading Plan – Day 183

“Yinzwakazi yesidiliyazana, khanintyontyele!

₃Mna Ndikhoyo ndingumalusi waso,

mna ndisinkcenkceshela rhoqo;

nangobhadakazi andilali, ndalusa sona,

hleze ubani asonakalise.

₄Ngoku umsindo wam uthothile.

Akwaba ebekho ameva, ngendiwatshisa;

ewe, bendiya kulwa nawo ngenene.

₅Zona iintshaba mazizimele kum,

mazizabalazele uxolelaniso;

ngenene mazicele uxolo.”

₆Ngemihl' ezayo uYakobi uya kumila;

ewe, uSirayeli uya kudubula aqhakaze;

ilizwe lophuphuma yimveliso yakhe.

₇USirayeli noko yena akohlwaywanga kangako,

noko akafaniswanga neentshaba zakhe,

akatshatyalaliswanga njengabagwinti bakhe.

₈Yena wohlwaywe ngokuthinjwa,

suka yena wafuduswa ngesaqhwithikazi somoya,

njengeso somoya wasempuma.

₉Isono sikaYakobi ke socanyagushelwa,

oko ke kube sisiqhamo sokuxolelwa kwakhe,

akuba amatye amaqonga ecoliwe,

nditsho amaqonga *oothixo basemzini.

Bowacumza njengelitye elinkum-nkum,

kungabi sabakho qonga lasiqhumiso,

kungasali namfanekiso ka-Ashera.

₁₀Satsho salilolo isixeko esinqatyisiweyo.

Mzindini obalekiweyo washiywa,

ngoku sowumatwa nentlango.

Kulapho adla khona amathole,

anqunquda anqunqude acambalale.

₁₁Amaseb' emithi oma ade aqhuzuke,

bancedakale ke abafazi ngezo nkuni.

Kaloku esi sisizwe esingaqondiyo,

ngoko ke tu usini kuMdali waso;

ewe, uMxonxi akayi kuba naluvelwano.

₁Kwaza kwanyembeleka, Samariya echophe phezu kwentili echumayo,

ntshingandini iliqhayiya kwiinkokheli eziyantazayo zakwaEfrayim;

dumasindini elitshitsha njengentyatyambo,

bhongondini lamanxila!

₂INkosi inengwanyalala eseyichophel' ukuhlasela.

Sisitshu esofika ngathi sisiphango;

yintw' engathi sisandyondyo semvula;

ilizwe labo ngathi lisityekelwa ngunogumbe.

₃Woyiphosa phantsi emhlabeni!

Loo ntshinga yeenkokheli ezinxilayo zaseSamariya

yonyathelwa ixotyongwe ngeenyawo.

₄Loo ntyatyambo itshitshayo, ichophe phezu kwentili echumayo,

yoba ngathi lulibo lwamakhiwane,

lona luthi lungavela luqhawulwe lutyiwe.

₅Ikho kamb' imini ezayo;

*uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke woba ngathi yintshinga,

isiqhwaqhwalala sembasa yeentyatyambo;

uya kuba njalo kwelo qaqobana lisindileyo.

₆Ke bona abo bachophel' ukugweba

wobathi jize ngomoya wokwazelelela;

abayi kusilela noolindikhaya emasangweni –

wobakhuthaza abaphe ukomelela.

₇Nababingeleli ngokwabo bayanxila,

nabashumayeli bayagxadazela butywala.

Utywala babusela bade bahexe;

ungafika beyotywe bade badideka.

Abashumayeli bathwangeke bancitheka,

nkqi ukuluqiqa udaba lukaThixo;

nababingeleli bayashwantshatha butywala,

abanako ukuyicalula imicimbi.

₈Iitafile – mh-mh-mh, zibondekile!

Zitsho zangamanangalala bobubuyayo;

kurhiphilili, akukho nendawo!

₉Kodwa bakhalaza bathi:

“Ngubani ongafundiswa nguye?

Ntshumayeloni yona leyo?

Suka! Ifanel' iintsana, yini le!

Ilingen' abakhov' ukulunyulwa!

₁₀Khanimbone ukuzimisela kwakhe!

Khanimve epitiliza ubugoci-goci;

yenjenje, yenjenjeya,

nci-nci-nci-nci, yonk' inanana!”

₁₁Ngoko ke uThixo wonithumel' iintlanga,

isizw' esilwimi lungaziwayo;

ngaso woninik' isifundo.

₁₂Ngani nina aba kanye wathi:

“Yiyo le intuthuzelo nokuphumla kwenu;

le yindawo yokuphumla!”

Suka ke nina anamhoya.

₁₃Ngenxa yoko ke yena *uNdikhoyo

wosuka abe yinto nani;

uza kunifundisa bonke ubugoci-goci,

anithi nca ngabo ubucukubhede.

Wonithi mbende ngenkcukacha nenanana!

Ngoko ke nosuka nithi thwanga,

noba ngasus' unyawo nikhubeke;

nosuka nenzakale ningxwelerheke;

norhintyelek' emigibeni nithinjwe.

₁₄Iinzwi, ke nina bagxeki,

nditsho nina balawul' eJerusalem!

Yivani; uyatheth' *uNdikhoyo.

₁₅Kaloku nina niqhayisa ngokuthi:

“Thina senze umnqophiso nokufa;

sinesivumelwano nalo elabafileyo.”

Suka nazikhohlisa ke nisithi:

“Nangomhla wesithwakumbe ke thina sothubeleza;

thina kaloku siqamela ngokuxoka,

inkohliso nobuxoki yinqaba yethu.”

₁₆INkosi enguNdikhoyo ke yona ithi:

“EZiyon ndibeka isiseko esingagungqiyo;

kuso ndifak' inyengane ekhethiweyo

entsingiselo ithi ozinikezeleyo akasayi kukhukhuliseka.

₁₇Umthetho ndowenza umtya wokulungelelanisa,

ubulungisa bube yintambo yokundindanisa.

Ubuxoki benu botshayelwa sisichotho,

iimpuphuma ziyikhukulise inqaba yenu.

₁₈Umnqophiso wenu nokufa uya kutshitsha,

nesivumelwano nelabafileyo sonqamka.

Ekugalelekeni kwaso isithwakumbe

sona siya kunibetha sinongamele.

₁₉Isithwakumbe sobetha sinikhukhulise;

kobe ngasa ibe siso nani.

Soba ngunonca imini nobusuku.”

Ukuchazwa kolu daba kuya kunirhwaqelisa.

₂₀Wozaliseka ke nomzekeliso othi:

“Akukho kunaba – umandlalo mfutshane;

kanti nengubo libhayi – ayambathisi.”

₂₁Kuba uNdikhoyo uya kulwa njengamhla mnene,

nditsho apho kwintaba iPerazim.

Koba ngathi kukwintili yaseGibhiyon;

woba ufezekisa umsebenzi ongalindelekanga,

ephumeza oko kuhlasimlisayo.

₂₂Ngoko ke, khawuthi cwaka, mgxeki,

hleze akusinde amakhamandela akho;

kuba sivakele kum isandi sentshabalalo,

isaziso esimiselwe lonke ilizwe,

siphuma kuMhlekazi uNdikhoyo onamandla onke.

₂₃Inzwi; yivani, maSirayeli!

Khanibek' iindlebe, ndiyathetha!

₂₄Mlimi wuphi olim' intw' engenasiphelo?

Mlimi waphi ogelesha njalo?

Hayi bo! Ngunotshe lowo!

₂₅Yena uyalima ade agqibe;

egqibile ke uhlwayela idile noba yikumin,

mhlawumbi atyale noba yingqolowa;

kungenjalo ke ahlwayele ihabile,

zonke ke ngeendawo zazo.

₂₆Kanene akaqeqeshwanga na nguThixo wakhe?

Ewe, uwufundisiwe lo msebenzi.

₂₇Obhula idile akasebenzisi sileyi,

engayibhuli nanganqwelo ikumin.

Hayi, idile uyibhula ngesibhulo,

ikumin ayibethe ngomchiza.

₂₈Andithi iyasilwa na ingqolowa?

Hayi kaloku, akayibhuli okokoko,

engayicoli nditsho nangenqwelo,

kanti ke namahashe akayigrayi.

₂₉Obo bulumko ke buvela *kuNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke;

kaloku yena yintshatsheli ngamacebo,

ngenene yena ubalasele ngobulumko.

₁Kunyembelekile kuwe, Ariyeli, sixeko esathinjwa nguDavide!

Mayijikeleze ihambe iminyaka;

mayenjenjalo nemibhiyozo yonyaka.

₂Kodwa mna *Ndikhoyo ndokuhlasela, Ariyeli;

yoba sisijwili nokuyayatheka,

kum ube ngathi liziko elivuthayo.

₃Ndokuhlasela ndikungqinge ngeendonga,

ndikujikeleze ngeemboniselo.

₄Uya kuthotyelwa eluthulini,

uthethe ngelizw' elivumbuluk' emhlabeni,

usebeze ngelezithunzela.

₅Kodwa ke iintshaba zakho zovuthululwa njengothuli,

imikhosi eyomeleleyo itshayelwe njengomququ.

Ngethuba elingephi, ngephanyazo,

₆uNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke uya kukuhlangula;

uya kutsho ngentswahla yeendudumo nenyikima,

ibe sisivungu-vungu esigquthezayo,

umlilo nedangatye elilenyezayo.

₇Yonke imikhosi yezizwe ezihlaselayo,

ezihlasela iAriyeli,

izixhobo nezikrweqe zazo konke nje,

koba njengephupha,

njengombono wasebusuku.

₈Kofana nomfo olambileyo ephupha,

engathi uyatya, kodw' akuvuk' usalambile;

okanye umntu othe khothe lunxano,

ophuph' esela, phof' avuke esanxaniwe.

Koba njalo ke ukuphoxeka kwemikhosi yezizwe

leyo ihlasela intaba yeZiyon.

₉Zithwangeni nitsho nibe zizityhakala;

zimfamekiseni ke, nitsho nimfameke;

nxilani, noba anikhange nibufake;

gxadazelani, ningaselanga tywala.

₁₀*UNdikhoyo unitsho nangamayosi-yosi;

unitsho nayeketheka bubuthongo.

Kaloku amehlo enu avalekile,

neentloko zenu zincithekile;

ewe, abashumayeli benu ababoni, abaqiqi.

“Aba bantu basondela kum ngomlomo,

bandihlonela ngalo umpaku-mpaku;

iintliziyo zabo zona zikude lee,

inkolo yabo imi ngeziqhelo kuphela.

₁₄Ngoko ke mna ndosuka ndiphinde ndibancithe ngesishiqi phezu kwesithwakumbe,

nobulumko beengqondi butsho buthi shwaka,

nobungcaphephe bamaqili butsho bunyamalale.”

₁₅Asazi ke kwabo bazifihlayo –

kunyembelekile kwabafihlela *uNdikhoyo iinjongo zabo,

kwabo benza izinto ebumnyameni,

besithi: “Ngubani oya kusibona? Ngubani oya kusazi?”

₁₆Iinto zonke bona bayazibhukuqa:

kukho udongwe nombumbi – yiyiphi eyona-yona?

Into ebunjiweyo ingamsola na umbumbi isithi: “Andenziwanga nguye”?

Udongwe lungatsho na kumxonkxi ukuthi: “Awunangqiqo”?

₁₇Kaloku kukho isimbo esithi:

“Amahlathi aseLebhanon ojika abe ngumyezo weziqhamo,

ke wona umyezo ube ngamahlathi.”

₁₈Ngaloo mini ke nesithulu siya kuva;

siya kuweva amazwi afundwa encwadini.

Nemfama ehlala esithokothokweni sobumnyama

ovuleka amehlo ayo, itsho ibone.

₁₉Nabo bangazelwe nto uNdikhoyo uya kubavuselela ngolonwabo;

abahlelelekileyo boba nemihlali ngoYedwa kaSirayeli.

₂₀Eso soba sisiphelo seendlobongela,

batsho banqamke abamgxekayo uThixo,

nabaququzeleli bobubi batsho baphele.

₂₁Baya kutshabalala abaphixanisayo;

konyembeleka kwabacupha abantu ngobugqwetha;

abo bajika ubulungisa ngobuxoki,

bacudulele abantu abamsulwa.

“UYakobi akaphindi abe semahlazweni,

engasoze aphinde abuye anxube!

₂₃Akubona inzala endiya kumpha yona,

abantwana abangumsebenzi wam,

uya kutsho avume athi mna ndinguYedwa kaYakobi.

Ngenene, uya kundihlonela,

akhahlele kum, mna Thixo kaSirayeli,

alidumise igama lam elilodwa.

₂₄Nabo banxaxhileyo bofumana ingqiqo,

nabo bambombozelayo bayamkele ingqeqesho.”
