Izililo 4 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Kuya kwenzeka ntoni kumaYuda?

¹ Hayi, ukuba mfiliba kwegolide! Hayi, ukuguquguquka kwegolide ecikizekileyo! amatye engcwele aphalazwe ezitratweni zonke.

² Zintanda, Ziyon, xa kuthelekiswa negolide engcwengiweyo, Hayi, ukubalelwa ekuthini zizitya zodongwe, umsebenzi wezandla zombumbi!

³ Kwaneemlonya ziwarhola amabele, Zanyise amathole azo; Ke yona intombi yabantu bam isuke yaba sisijorha njengenciniba entlango.

⁴ Ulwimi losana lunamathela ekhuhlangubeni lakhe linxano; Abantwana bacela isonka, akukho ubakhathaleleyo.

⁵ Ababedlile babonakala ezitratweni;

⁶ Kuba isohlwayo sobubi bentombi yabantu bam sikhulu kunesohlwayo sesono seSodom, eyabhukuqwayo ngephanyazo, akwabikho zandla ziseleyo kuyo.

⁷ Babeqaqambile abaNaziri bakhe ngaphezu kwekhephu, bemhlophe ngaphezu kobisi, beyingqombela kuneerubhi emzimbeni, ukubengezela kwabo kunjengesafire.

⁸ Ubuso babo bumnyama ngaphezu kwamalahle; Abanakwa ezitratweni; ulusu lwabo lutshele emathanjeni abo; yoma yanjengentonga.

⁹ Abo babulewe ngekrele balunge ngakumbi kunabo babulawa yindlala, ngenxa yokuba ngabo baluvulayo ucango, boyisiwe ngenxa yokunqongophala kweziqhamo zelizwe.

¹⁰ Izandla zomfazi onenceba ziseza abantwana; kukudla kwabo ekubhujisweni kwentombi yabantu bam.

¹¹ uYehova uwufezile umsindo wakhe; Uwuphalazile umsindo wakhe waza wafaka umlilo eZiyon, wazitshisa neziseko zayo.

¹² Bebengayi kukholwa ookumkani belimiweyo, nabemi bonke belimiweyo, ukuba amasango aseYerusalem alutshaba;

¹³ ngenxa yezono zabaprofeti bakhe, nangenxa yezinto ezimbi zababingeleli bakhe, abaphalaza igazi lamalungisa kuyo;

¹⁴ Babebhadula ezitalatweni njengeemfama, bedyobhekile ligazi, ukuze abantu bangabi nakuchukumisa neempahla zabo.

¹⁵ Bathi kuwo, Hambani; ayicocekanga; mkani, mkani, musani ukuphatha; ekubalekeni kwabo, babhadula ezintlangeni, bathi, Abayi kubuya baphambukele khona.

¹⁶ Umsindo kaYehova wabahlula; akasayi kuba sabakhangela; abakhange babe nesimilo sababingeleli, bengawathandi amadoda amakhulu.

¹⁷ Thina, amehlo ethu akhangele uncedo lwethu olungamampunge; ngokuqaphela kwethu sasilindele isizwe esingenako ukusigcina.

¹⁸ Bazingela amanyathela ethu, ukuba singahambi ezitratweni zethu; ngokuba kufikile ukuphela kwethu.

¹⁹ Abasisukelayo banamendu ngaphezu kwexhalanga lezulu;

²⁰ Umoya wamathatha ethu, umthanjiswa kaYehova, ubambeke equleni labo, ebesithi ngaye, Siya kuhlala emthunzini wakhe ezintlangeni.

²¹ Yiba nemihlali ugcobe, ntombi yakwaEdom, uhleliyo ezweni lakowethu; idlule phezu kwakho indebe; uya kunxila ukhulule.

²² Isohlwayo sobungendawo bakho sigqityiwe, ntombi yaseZiyon! Akayi kuphinda athimbe; Ubuvelelele ububi bakho, ntombi yakwaEdom! uya kuzityhila izono zakho.
