Bible Reading Plan – Day 235

₁“Namhlanje uBhele uthotyiwe; uNebho uwe bhaxa!

*Oothixo ebenikade nijikeleza nabo

namhlanje batyabula imiqolo yezilwanyana.

Ngenene baluxanduva lomthwalo.

₂Nâzo izilwanyana zisiwa zivuka.

Akukho kusinda kuzo;

zithinjwa kunye nomthwalo wazo.

₃“I-i-i-nzwi ke wena, ndlu kaYakobi!

Ndiphulaphuleni nina masalela endlu kaSirayeli,

nina endanixhasa kwasekukhawulweni kwenu,

ndaza ndanisingatha kwasekuzalweni kwenu.

₄Noda niguge nibe ziingwevu

mna ndisengulowo unixhasayo.

Nenziwa ndim, ngoko ke ndonisingatha;

ewe, ndonigcina ndinihlangule.

₅“Kodwa-kodwa ndolinganiswa nabani?

Ngubani na onjengam endinokufaniswa naye?

₆Abantu bakhupha igolide engxoweni,

isiliva bayilinganisa esikalini,

basuke baqeshe ingcibi, ibenzele uthixo;

kamva ke basuka bee guqaqa bamnqule.

₇Bambeka emagxeni, bamtyathe;

bambeke endaweni yakhe, eme bhuxe.

Kaloku yena lutiniko olungashukumiyo.

Udl' imu noba umntu uyazibika kuye;

akakwazi kuhlangula mntu ezingxakini.

₈“Khumbulani le nto nizikise;

khaniyiguqu-guqule, nina bavukeli.

₉Khanikhumbule iziganeko zamandulo,

nivume ukuba mna ndinguThixo;

ewe, akukho thixo ufana nam.

₁₀Isiphelo ndasixela kwasekuqaleni;

kwamandulo ndazivakalisa izinto ezizayo.

Ndatsho ukuba icebo lam soze liwe,

koko ndokufezekisa oko ndikumisileyo.

₁₁Mna ndibize umfo empumalanga;

sisitshu esiya kurhiwula njengokhetshe.

Yena woyifezekisa yonke injongo yam;

njengoko ndithethile kuya kuba njalo kanye.

₁₂Phulaphulani, bantundini baneenkani,

nina banxaxhileyo elusindisweni.

₁₃Umhla wosindiso wona ndiyawusondeza;

ngenene awukude kuya phi.

Ukusindisa kwam akuyi kulibazisa;

ewe, ndiza kuyihlangula iZiyon,

uSirayeli ndimzisele isidima nesithozela.”

“Yihla esihlalweni, ntombindini Bhabheli;

ewe, yiza nawe ukhe ugqush' eluthulini.

Wena wakhe wayinzwakazi yentombi;

oko kuguda nokuthamba ngoku kumkile.

₂Thath' ilitye, usil' ingqolowa;

ewe kaloku, sikhulule isigqubuthelo;

finyeza kaloku, uwel' imilambo.

₃Kaloku ngoku buza kudlula ubuze bakho;

awukho kukuphoxeka nalihlazo.

Kaloku mna ndiza kuziphindezela;

ibe ke andizi kuba nalusini konke.”

₄UMkhululi wethu nguYedwa kaSirayeli;

igama lakhe nguNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke.

₅UNdikhoyo uthi:

“Yithi cwaka, ntombindini Bhabheli, uhlale ebumnyameni.

Kaloku wena ngoku akusayi kuthiwa uyikumkanikazi yezizwe.

₆Besendinomsindo ngakubantu bam;

ndide ndalishwabulela ilifa labo;

suka ndabayekela esandleni sakho.

Ke wena awubanga nanceba konke,

neengwevu usuke wagadalala nakuzo.

₇Ubusithi wena woba sisimakade,

uhlale uhleli uyikumkanikazi.

Khange uzikhathaze nganto;

khange uzidube nangokujonga isiphelo.

₈“Phulaphula ke, wena mthandi weziyolo;

nditsho wena uzicingela ukuba ukhuselekile,

nditsho wena uzilinganisa noThixo,

wena othi nguwe okhoyo, akukho wumbi.

Ubusithi wena soze ube mhlolokazi;

soze ulahlekelwe bantwana.

₉Kodwa ngephanyazo nje – ngamini-nye –

ilahleko yabantwana kunye nobuhlolokazi

iza kukufikela nawe zikho ezo ngwebedla zakho,

ekho loo makhubalo akho namaqwili;

ewe, zofika ziphelelise.

₁₀Ubusithi uza kukhuselwa yinkohlakalo;

usithi akukho bani ukubonayo.

Ubulumko bakho nolwazi bukulahlekisile;

usitsho nje ukuthi nguwe okhoyo, akukho wumbi.

₁₁Ngoku wena uzelwa sisithwakumbe,

ibe nemilingo yakho ayinakuma ngaphambili.

Uza kuqutyulwa sisibetho ongenakusingxengxezela,

ufikelwe sisihelegu ongazange wasicinga.

₁₂“Bambelela kuloo makhubalo nezo ziphondo,

njengoko kaloku walunyulelwa kuzo!

Hleze kuthi kanti zisenokunceda;

mhlawumbi ngazo ungazigrogrisa iintshaba.

₁₃Namacebiso lawo akuqobile;

mabeze kaloku oosiyazi bakuhlangule,

nditsho abo bacalula iinkwenkwezi,

abo bazoba amazulu ngezigaba zawo,

abo baphicotha ubume benyanga nganye,

baze bambulule baxele izinto ezizayo.

₁₄Bona baza kufana nemvuthuluka yengca,

kuze kuthi gqi umlilo ubatshise.

Sobe babe nako nokuzihlangula;

amadangatye onqanqaza batsho bathi shuu!

Kaloku lowo asinguwo umlilo wokothiwa.

₁₅Usizo lwazo luphelel' apho ezo zazi zakho walunyulelwa kuzo.

Zonke zophephetheka ngeendlela zazo,

kube kungekho bani ungakuhlangulayo!”

“Khanibek' iindlebe,

ndlu kaYakobi;

nditsho nina babizwa ngoSirayeli,

nina bomnombo kaJuda,

nina bafunga igama likaNdikhoyo,

nina bathi banqula uThixo kaSirayeli,

kodwa ngenene nisitsho nje ngomlomo!

₂Kanti kwanina niyazidla,

niqhayisa ngokuthi nina ningabemi besixeko sikaNdikhoyo;

nithi nina nixhomekeke kuThixo kaSirayeli,

ogama linguNdikhoyo uSomandla-onke.

₃“Kudala-dala ndatsho kwangonoquku;

ewe, ndazixela izinto eziza kuhla,

kamva ke ndatsho suka zenzeka njengoko.

₄Kambe ke wena bendisazi ukuba uneenkani nqwa nesele,

ntondini eqinis' intamo,

lityendini lenyengane!

₅Kungoko ndazibhengeza kwakudala ezi zinto,

izehlo ndazixela ngaphambi kokuba zenzeke,

khon' ukuze wena ungabi nako ukuthi leyo yimisebenzi *yezithixo ozinqulayo.

₆Konke endakuxelayo kwenzekile.

Vuma kaloku!

Kanti ke ngoku ndiza kuxela into entsha,

imfihlakalo eningazange nayazi.

₇Ewe, ndiyidala ngoku;

into enje zange yenzeke ngaphambili.

Okanye ke ngowusithi ubuyazi kakade.

₈Zange uve uqonde nakuqonda,

kuba ubungenako kakade.

Bendikwazi ukuba wena awuthembekanga;

ndiyakwazi ukuba ungumvukeli owaziwayo.

₉Ngenxa yegama lam ndibuya nganeno ngomsindo;

ngenxa yodumo lwam ndiyazithibaza

ukuze ndingakutshabalalisi.

₁₀Andinivavanyanga eziko okwesiliva,

kodwa ndinivavanye ngehambo-nzima.

₁₁Kungenxa yam ukuba ndenjenje;

soze ndiliyekele ngehlazo igama lam,

kungekho bani wosizuza neso sihomo.

Andinikisi ngaso; sesam ndodwa.”

₁₂*UNdikhoyo uthi:

“Bek' iindlebe uphulaphule, Yakobi,

nditsho wena, Sirayeli endakubizayo.

Mna ndinguNdikhoyo: ndingowokuqala,

ndikwangowokugqibela.

₁₃Ndim owamisa iziseko zehlabathi;

ndim lo owawatwabululayo amazulu.

Ndithetha ngelizwi, zisuke zibekho.

₁₄Qokelelanani niphulaphule xa ninonke.

Kakade sisiphi *isithixo esinokuvakalisa into enjengale?

Ndinyule oza kuhlasela iBhabheli.

Yena uza kwenza oko kufunwa ndim.

₁₅Kaloku ndim ngokwam endathethayo,

ndim endambizayo, ndamthi jize ngempumelelo.

₁₆Khawusondele ke uphulaphule.

Kwasekuqaleni ndathetha ngokuphandle,

futhi nokufezeka kwazo kokwam.”

Ewe, uMhlekazi uNdikhoyo undithumile,

wandixhobisa ngoMoya wakhe.

₁₇Utsho ke *uNdikhoyo,

uMkhululi wakho,

uYedwa kaSirayeli:

“Mna ndinguNdikhoyo uThixo wakho.

Ndikufundisa nje kaloku ndiyakunceda;

ndikufaka endleleni ekufaneleyo.

₁₈Akwaba wawuyiphulaphule imiyalelo yam.

Ngelumpompoza njengamanzi uloyiso lwakho,

budlobe okwamaza ubulungisa bakho.

₁₉Ngeba ke namhlanje inzala yakho yinyambalala engenakubalwa,

lingaze linqanyulwe igama lakho,

kananjalo lingaze litshabalale.”

₂₀Phuman' eBhabheli; washiyeni amaKaledi!

Bhengezani ngemihlali;

ewe, memezani nazis' abantu bonke, nithi:

“UNdikhoyo usihlangule isicaka sakhe uYakobi.”

₂₁Ngokuya wayebakhokela kwinkqantosi ebharhileyo

abantu bakhe zange bafe lunxano;

wabakhuphela amanzi eliweni,

suka waliqhekeza, aza ampompoz' amanzi!

₂₂Ewe, uNdikhoyo uthi:

“Akukho ukonwaba kwabakhohlakeleyo!”

₁I-i-i-nzwi! Bekan' iindlebe, zizw' ezikude!

Yivani ke, nina nto zihlal' ekudeni!

*UNdikhoyo wandibiza ndingekaliboni ilanga;

ewe, wandikhankanya ndingekazalwa.

₂Wawenza amazwi am ahlaba njengekrele;

ewe, yena wandifumbatha ngesandla,

wandicikiza ngathi uhombisa utolo,

wandithi xhwa sendilind' umayenzeke.

₃Ke yena wathetha nam, wathi:

“Wena usisicaka sam, Sirayeli;

ngawe ndibhengeza ubungangamsha bam.”

₄Ke mna ndithe: “Ndibulalekele ilize;

umzabalazo wam ungamampunge.

Kambe ke ibango lam likuNdikhoyo;

nguThixo wam oya kundibuyekeza.”

₅UNdikhoyo owandibumba esizalweni,

wandenza isicaka sakhe,

ukuze ndibuyisele uYakobi kuye,

ndiphuthume uSirayeli owabhacayo.

Kaloku isidima ndisizuza kuNdikhoyo;

amandla am ampompoza kuThixo wam.

₆UNdikhoyo uthethe wenjenje:

“Njengesicaka sam akwanele okokuba ubuyisele ubuhandiba kwaYakobi,

uphuthume amasalela kaSirayeli endiwalondolozileyo,

koko ndikumisela ukuba ube lukhanyiso lweentlanga,

ube lusindiso lwam olubandakanya ihlabathi jikelele.”

₇UYedwa, uNdikhoyo, uThixo kaSirayeli,

lowo unguMkhululi wakhe,

uthi kulowo udelwe mpela-mpela,

nditsho lowo ucatshukelwayo zizizwe,

lowo usisicaka seziphathamandla:

“Izikumkani ziya kukubona;

ewe, ziya kuphakama zikhahlele,

namatshawe aya kuvova ee guqaqa!”

Yonke loo nto ke iza kwenzeka

kuba uNdikhoyo ekunyule wena ukuze ube sisicaka sakhe,

nditsho uThixo onguYedwa kaSirayeli othembekileyo.
