Xhosa 2024 (ITestamente Entsha)

← Chapter 5 Jump to: Chapter 7 →

1Nyana wam, xa uthe wammela ummelwane wakho, Naxa uthe wabambana nomnye ngesandla owasemzini,

2Ubanjwe ngentetho yomlomo wakho, Ubanjwe ngamazwi omlomo wakho.

3Yenza ngoko, nyana wam, uzisindise, ukuba uthe wawa esandleni sommelwane wakho; hamba, zithobe kwaye uqinisekise umhlobo wakho.

4Musa ukuwayeka alale amehlo akho, namashiya akho makangalali;

5Zisindise njengexhama esandleni somzingeli, nanjengentaka esandleni somthiyeli.

6Yiya embovaneni, vilandini; Khangela iindlela zakhe, ulumke:

7engenamkhokheli, namgcini, namlawuli;

8Siphe ukudla ehlotyeni; Yilungise ngexa lokuvuna;

9Kunini na ulala, vilandini? Uya kuvuka nini na ebuthongweni bakho?

10Ukulala kancinane, ukozela kancinane, ukusonga iingalo zikabani kancinane, ukulala.

11Bokuza ubuhlwempu bakho njengomhambi, Nentswelo yakho njengendoda exhobileyo.

12Ongendawo, ongendawo uhamba ngomlomo wobubi;

13Utyanda ngoshiyi, uthetha ngeenyawo, Walatha ngeminwe yakhe;

14Inkohliso isentliziyweni yakhe, uyila ububi ngamaxesha onke; uhlwayela iiyantlukwano.

15Ngako oko, intlekele yakhe iya kumfikela kube kanye; uya kwaphuka ngephanyazo, angaphili.

16Ezi ezintandathu uzithiyileyo uYehova, zasixhenxe zingamasikizi kuye.

17Ngamehlo aqwayingayo, lulwimi lobuxoki; Zizandla eziphalaza igazi elimsulwa;

18Intliziyo eyila ububi, ziinyawo ezikhawulezayo ukubalekela ebubini;

19Lingqina elixokayo, elifutha amanga, Nongenisa ukungavisisani phakathi kwabazalwana.

20Nyana wam, gcina umthetho kayihlo, ungatyeki emyalelweni kanyoko.

21Sibophe entliziyweni yakho ngamaxesha onke, Usinxibe emqaleni wakho;

22Ukuba uthe wahamba, uya kukukhokela; Ukuba ulala, buya kukugcina; yaye xa uvuka, iya kuthetha nawe.

23Ngokuba ulukhanyiso umthetho; nomyalelo ulukhanyiso; Uqeqesho lwemfundo yindlela yobomi;

24Ukuba akukhwebuke kumfazi onobubi, Nolwimi olukhohlisayo lomkamntu.

25Musa ukubukhanuka ubunzwakazi bakhe ngentliziyo yakho; makangayichukumisi ngamashiya.

26Kuba ngenxa yehenyukazi umntu udla iqhekeza lesonka; Umkamntu okrexezayo uzingela umphefumlo onqabileyo.

27Umntu unokuwuthabatha na umlilo esifubeni sakhe, Zingatshi na iingubo zakhe?

28Unokuhamba na umntu phezu kwamalahle avuthayo, zingatshisi iinyawo zakhe?

29Lowo ungena nomfazi wommelwane wakhe; akasayi kuba msulwa lowo umchukumisayo.

30Alidelwa isela xa lisiba ukuze lihluthe, xa lithe lalamba;

31Ukuba uthe wafunyanwa, wobuya kasixhenxe; woyirhola yonke impahla yendlu yakhe.

32Okrexeza umfazi ke akanangqondo; owenjenjalo uyawonakalisa umphefumlo wakhe.

33Uya kufumana ububi nocukucezo; nongcikivo lwakhe alucimi.

34Kuba ikhwele libubushushu bendoda; ke ngoko, akayi kuwuconga umhla wempindezelo.

35Ayiyi kulubeka ucamagusho; nokuba uthe wampha izipho ezininzi, akaneliswa.
