Bible Reading Plan – Day 233

₁“Bheka inceku yami engiyisekelayo,

okhethiweyo wami othokoza ngaye

umphefumulo wami;

nginikele umoya wami phezu kwakhe,

uyakukhiphela izizwe ukwahlulela.

₂Akayikukhala, adazuluke,

angezwakalisi izwi lakhe ezitaladini.

₃Umhlanga ofecekileyo akayikuwaphula,

umongo othunqayo akayikuwucima;

uyakukhipha ukwahlulela ngeqiniso.

₄Akayikudangala, aphele amandla,

aze amise ukwahlulela emhlabeni;

neziqhingi ziyakuhlalela umthetho wakhe.”

₅Usho kanje uNkulunkulu uJehova

owadala izulu, waleneka,

nowawendlala umhlaba nokuvela kuwo,

nowanika abantu abakuwo ukuphefumula

nomoya kwabahamba kuwo, uthi:

₆“Mina Jehova ngikubizile ngokulunga,

ngiyakubamba isandla sakho, ngikugcine,

ngikubeke ube yisivumelwano sabantu

nokukhanya kwabezizwe,

₇ukuze uvule amehlo ezimpumputhe,

ukhiphe iziboshwa etilongweni

nabahlezi ebumnyameni etilongweni.

₈“NginguJehova; yilo igama lami;

angiyikunika omunye inkazimulo yami,

nezithombe ezibaziweyo udumo lwami.

₉Izinto zakuqala zifikile,

sengimemezela izinto ezintsha;

zingakaqhamuki, ngiyanizwisa zona.”

₁₀Mhubeleni uJehova ihubo elisha,

nodumo lwakhe,

kusukela emikhawulweni yomhlaba,

nina enehlela elwandle nakho konke okukulo,

nina ziqhingi nabakhileyo kuzo.

₁₁Ihlane nemizi yalo makujabule

nemizana abakhileyo kuyo abakwaKedari,

bahube abakhile emadwaleni,

benanele beseziqongweni zezintaba.

₁₂Mabanike uJehova udumo,

bamemezele udumo lwakhe eziqhingini.

₁₃UJehova uyaphuma njengeqhawe;

njengendoda yempi uyavusa ukushisekela kwakhe;

uyakhala, yebo, uyabangalasa,

enze ubuqhawe phezu kwezitha zakhe.

₁₄“Sekuyisikhathi eside ngithulile,

ngathula ngazibamba;

sengiyakukhala njengobelethayo,

ngiphefuzele, ngibitoze kanyekanye.

₁₅Ngiyakwenza ize izintaba namagquma,

ngomise yonke imifino yawo,

ngenze imifula ibe yiziqhingi,

ngenze amachibi ukuba ashe.

₁₆Ngiyakuhambisa izimpumputhe ngendlela ezingayaziyo;

emikhondweni ezingayaziyo ngiyakuzihola;

ngiyakwenza ubumnyama bube ngukukhanya phambi kwazo,

namagebhugebhu ukuba ahlelenjwe;

ngiyakwenza lezi zinto ngingazishiyi.

₁₇Bayakubuyiselwa emuva,

bajabhe nokujabha

labo abethemba ezithombeni ezibaziweyo,

abasho ezithombeni ezibunjiweyo ukuthi:

‘Ningonkulunkulu bethu.’

₁₈“Yizwani nina zithulu;

bhekani nina zimpumputhe,

ukuze nibone.

₁₉Ngubani oyimpumputhe ngaphandle kwenceku yami,

nesithulu njengesithunywa sami engisithumayo, na?

Ngubani oyimpumputhe njengopheleleyo,

oyimpumputhe njengenceku kaJehova, na?

₂₀Ubona izinto eziningi,

kepha awuqapheli;

izindlebe zakhe zivulekile,

kepha akezwa.”

₂₁Kwaba kuhle kuJehova ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe

ukuba akhulise umthetho, awudumise.

₂₂Kepha laba bangabantu abaphangiweyo nabamukiweyo;

bonke bacushiwe emigodini,

bafihliwe ematilongweni;

bangabokuphangwa,

akakho obophulayo,

yebo, bayimpango,

kungekho oshoyo ukuthi: “Buyisa.”

₂₃Ngubani phakathi kwenu obeka indlebe kulokhu,

aqaphele, ezwele isikhathi esizayo, na?

₂₄Ngubani owanikela uJakobe ukuba aphangwe,

no-Israyeli kubo abaphangi, na?

Angithi nguJehova, esonile kuye,

nabangavumanga ukuhamba ngezindlela zakhe,

nabangawulalelanga umthetho wakhe?

₂₅Wayesethela phezu kwakhe ukufutheka kwentukuthelo yakhe,

namandla empi;

kwamvuthela nxazonke,

kepha akakwazanga;

kwamshisa, kepha akakubekanga enhliziyweni yakhe.

₁Kepha manje usho kanje uJehova

owakudalayo wena Jakobe,

nowakubumba wena Israyeli, uthi:

“Ungesabi ngokuba ngikuhlengile,

ngikubizile ngegama lakho;

ungowami.

₂Lapho udabula emanzini,

mina nginawe;

nasemifuleni, ayiyikukukhukhula;

lapho uhamba emlilweni, awuyikusha,

nelangabi aliyikukushisa.

₃Ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho,

oNgcwele ka-Israyeli,

uMsindisi wakho;

ngiyanika iGibithe libe yihlawulo lakho,

iKushe neSheba esikhundleni sakho.

₄Ngenxa yokuba ubuyigugu emehlweni ami,

futhi ubudumile, uthandekile kimi,

ngiyakunika abantu esikhundleni sakho,

nezizwe esikhundleni sokuphila kwakho.

₅Ungesabi, ngokuba nginawe;

ngiyakuyiletha inzalo yakho iphume empumalanga,

ngikubuthe nasentshonalanga.

₆Ngiyakusho kuyo inyakatho,

ngithi: ‘Balethe,’

nakuyo iningizimu: ‘Ungabagodli.’

Lethani amadodana ami akude,

namadodakazi ami

ukuba aphume emikhawulweni yomhlaba,

₇onke abizwe ngegama lami,

nengiwadalele inkazimulo yami,

engiwabumbile nengiwenzile.”

₈Lethani abantu abayizimpumputhe abanamehlo

nezithulu ezinezindlebe.

₉Izizwe zonke mazibuthelwe ndawonye,

abantu bonke babuthane;

ngubani phakathi kwabo ongamemezela lokhu,

asizwise izinto zakuqala;

mabalethe ofakazi babo ukuba balungisiswe,

bezwe, bathi: “Kuyiqiniso.”

₁₀“Ningofakazi bami,” usho uJehova,

“nenceku yami engiyikhethileyo

ukuba nazi, ningethembe,

niqonde ukuthi nginguye;

ngaphambi kwami akwenziwanga uNkulunkulu,

nangasemva kwami akayikuba khona.

₁₁Mina, mina nginguJehova,

ngaphandle kwami akakho umsindisi.

₁₂Ngimemezele, ngisindisile, ngizwisile,

kungakabikho unkulunkulu wabezizwe phakathi kwenu;

yebo, ningofakazi bami,” usho uJehova,

“mina nginguNkulunkulu.

₁₃Yebo, kwasendulo nginguye;

akakho ongophula esandleni sami;

lapho ngisebenza,

ngubani ongakuvimbela na?”

₁₄Usho kanje uJehova, uMhlengi wenu,

oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, uthi:

“Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBabele,

ngiyakwehlisa bonke njengababaleki,

namaKaledi ngemikhumbi yokujabula kwawo.

₁₅NginguJehova oNgcwele wenu,

uMdali ka-Israyeli, iNkosi yenu.”

₁₆Usho kanje uJehova owenza indlela elwandle,

nomkhondo emanzini anamandla,

₁₇okhipha izinqola namahhashi,

impi namandla;

kuyalala kanyekanye, akusenakuvuka;

kucishile, kucinyiwe njengomongo.

₁₈“Ningakhumbuli izinto zakuqala,

ningazindli ngezindaba zasendulo.

₁₉Bhekani, ngiyakwenza okusha;

kuyakuqhamuka manje,

angithi niyakwazi na?

Yebo, ngiyakwenza indlela ehlane

nemifula kwahlongasibi.

₂₀Izilwane zasendle ziyakungidumisa,

amakhanka nezintshe,

ngokuba ngiveza amanzi ehlane

nemifula kwahlongasibi

ukuphuzisa abantu bami abakhethiweyo,

₂₁laba bantu engizenzele bona

ukuba bashumayele udumo lwami.

₂₂“Kepha awungibizanga, Jakobe,

ngokuba wadinwa yimi, Israyeli.

₂₃Awulethanga kimi izimvu zakho zomnikelo wokushiswa,

awungidumisanga ngemihlatshelo yakho;

angikukhonzisanga ngeminikelo,

angikudinisanga ngenhlaka.

₂₄Awungithengelanga umhlanga othaphukayo ngemali,

awungisuthisanga ngamanoni emihlatshelo yakho,

kepha ungisebenzisile ngezono zakho,

ungidinisile ngobubi bakho.

₂₅“Mina, mina nginguye

owesula iziphambeko zakho ngenxa yami;

angiyikukhumbula izono zakho.

₂₆Ngikhumbuze, masahlulelane;

yisho wena ukuba ulungisiwe.

₂₇Uyihlo wokuqala wona,

abahumushi bakho bangihlubukile.

₂₈Ngidumazile izikhulu zendlu engcwele,

ngimenzile uJakobe abe yisiqalekiso,

no-Israyeli abe yisithuko.
