Izililo 5 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Kwenzeka ntoni kwixesha elidlulileyo

¹ Kukhumbule, Yehova, okusihleleyo; Lumka, ulibone ihlazo lethu.

² Ilifa lethu lidlulele kwabasemzini, nezindlu zethu kolunye uhlanga;

³ Siziinkedama neenkedama, Ooomama bethu ngabahlolokazi.

⁴ Amanzi ethu siwasele ngemali; iinkuni zethu zathengiswa.

⁵ Zicinezelekile iintamo zethu: Sisebenza nzima, asiphumli.

⁶ Sasiza kumaYiputa nama-Asiriya, ukuba ahluthe ngesonka;

⁷ Oobawo bonile, abasekho; sabuthwala ubugwenxa babo.

⁸ Besilawulwa ngabakhonzi, kungekho usihlangulayo esandleni sabo.

⁹ Isonka sethu sisithabatha ngokubeka umphefumlo wethu esichengeni, ngenxa yekrele entlango.

¹⁰ Ulusu lwethu lumnyama njengeziko Ngenxa yokulamba.

¹¹ Bazukisa abafazi baseZiyon, Umthinjana emizini yakwaYuda.

¹² Baxhonywe abathetheli ngezandla; ubuso bamadoda amakhulu buhlazekile.

¹³ Bathabatha abafana ukuba basile, abantwana bawa phantsi kweenkuni.

¹⁴ Amadoda amakhulu ema esangweni, amadodana eneengoma zawo;

¹⁵ Iphelile imihlali yentliziyo yethu; Umngqungqo wethu ube sisikhalo.

¹⁶ Siwele isithsaba entlokweni yethu; Yeha ke thina xa sonile!

¹⁷ Ngenxa yoko idiniwe intliziyo; ngenxa yezo zinto amehlo ethu anorhatyazo.

¹⁸ Ngenxa yentaba yaseZiyon, kuba ibharhile, Kuhamba iimpungutye phezu kwayo.

¹⁹ Yehova, uhleli ngonaphakade; Itrone yakho ikwisizukulwana ngesizukulwana.

²⁰ Yini na ukuba usilibale ngonaphakade, Usishiye kude kube kude?

²¹ Yehova, masizohlwaye ngawe, size sizohlwaye; hlaziya imihla yethu njengesiqhelo.

²² Kodwa yena usilahlile okunene; unomsindo omkhulu kuthi.
