2 USamuyeli 22
1 UDavida wahlabelela uThixo amazwi alelihubo lapho uThixo wamsindisa esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke lasesandleni sikaSawuli.
Dhavhidhi akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva muruoko rwavavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro.
2 Wathi: “UThixo ulidwala lami, inqaba yami lomsindisi wami;
Akati: “Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu uye mununuri wangu;
3 uNkulunkulu wami ulidwala lami, lapho engiphephela khona, isihlangu sami lophondo lokusindiswa kwami. Uyinqaba yami, isiphephelo sami lomsindisi wami uyangisindisa ebantwini abalodlakela.
Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, ndinovanda maari, nhoo yangu, norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu. Ndiye nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu nomuponesi wangu, munondiponesa pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
4 Ngakhuleka kuThixo ofanele ukudunyiswa, njalo ngikhululwe ezitheni zami.
Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye anofanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.
5 Amagagasi okufa angikhulela; lezikhukhula zokubhubhisa zangikhulela.
“Mafungu orufu akandikomba; mvura zhinji yokuparadza yakandifukidza.
Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakandivinga. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ekukhathazekeni kwami ngakhuleka kuThixo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami. Esethempelini lakhe walizwa ilizwi lami; ukukhala kwami kwafika ezindlebeni zakhe.
Mukutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari wangu. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika munzeve dzake.
8 Umhlaba wagedezela wazamazama, izisekelo zamazulu zanyikinyeka; zagedezela ngoba wayethukuthele.
“Nyika yakadedera uye ikazungunuka, nheyo dzokudenga dzakadengenyeka; dzakadedera nokuti akanga atsamwa.
9 Intuthu yalanquka emakhaleni akhe; umlilo ohangulayo waphuma emlonyeni wakhe, amalahle avuthayo alavuka ephuma kuwo.
Utsi hwakakwira kubva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akapfutamo.
10 Waqhekeza amazulu wehlela phansi; amayezi amnyama ayengaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
Akakamura matenga akaburuka pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake.
11 Wagada amakherubhi waphapha; wantweza phezu kwamaphiko omoya.
Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka mudenga denga pamapapiro emhepo.
12 Wenza umnyama isigubuzelo esimhanqileyo, amayezi ezulu amnyama asemkhathini.
Akaita kuti rima rimupoteredze setende, iwo makore matema emvura yokudenga.
13 Phakathi kokukhazimula kobukhona bakhe, izikhatha zombane zalavuza khona.
Kubva pakupenya kwokuvapo kwake mabhananʼana emheni akapenya.
14 UThixo wakhwaza esezulwini; ilizwi loPhezukonke lanqenqetha.
Jehovha akatinhira ari kudenga; inzwi reWokumusoro-soro rakanzwikazve.
15 Waciba imitshoko wazihlakaza izitha, ngezikhatha zombane waziqothula.
Akapfura miseve akaparadzira vavengi, mabhananʼana emheni akavaparadza.
16 Izigodi zolwandle zambulwa lezisekelo zomhlaba zavezwa obala ekukhuzeni kukaThixo, ngomfutho wokuphefumula kwamakhala akhe.
Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena uye nheyo dzenyika dzakabudiswa pachena nokutuka kwaJehovha, nokufema kwomweya wemhino dzake.
17 Welula isandla sakho usezulwini wangibamba wangihlenga enzikini yamanzi.
“Akatambanudza ruoko ari kudenga akandibata; akandibudisa kubva pamvura yakadzika.
18 Wangihlenga esitheni sami esilamandla, ezitheni zami ezazingigabhela ngamandla.
Akandinunura kubva pamuvengi wangu ane simba, kubva kuvavengi, vakanga vachindikurira pasimba.
19 Zangijamela mhla ngisebunzimeni, kodwa uThixo waba yinsika yami.
Vakandivinga muzuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu.
20 Wangikhupha wangibeka endaweni ebanzi; wangihlenga ngoba wayethokoza ngami.
Akandibudisira kunzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira.
21 UThixo ungenzele okulingene ukulunga kwami; wangivuza ngokufanele ukuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
“Jehovha akandiitira zviri maererano nokururama kwangu; maererano nokuchena kwamaoko angu, akandipa mubayiro.
22 Ngoba ngizigcinile izindlela zikaThixo; angenzanga okubi ngokufulathela uNkulunkulu wami.
Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita chakaipa ndichitsauka kubva kuna Mwari wangu.
23 Yonke imithetho yakhe iphambi kwami; angizifulathelanga izimiso zakhe.
Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka kubva pamitemo yake.
24 Ngibe ngilokhu ngimsulwa phambi kwakhe njalo ngisixwayile isono.
Ndakanga ndisina chandinopomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndirege kutadza.
25 UThixo ungivuze ngokufanele ukulunga kwami; ngokufanele ukuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwakhe.
Jehovha akandipa mubayiro maererano nokururama kwangu, maererano nokuchema kwangu pamberi pake.
26 Kwabathembekileyo lawe uthembekile, kwabamsulwa lawe umsulwa,
“Kune vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kune vasina chavanopomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu,
27 kwabahlanzekileyo uziveza uhlanzekile, kodwa kwabangaqondanga uziveza ukhaliphile.
kune vakachena munozviratidza makachena, asi kune vasakarurama munozviratidza nehasha.
28 Uyabasindisa abathobekileyo; kodwa amehlo akho akhangele abazigqajayo ukuba ubehlisele phansi.
Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi meso enyu ari pamusoro pavanozvikudza kuti muvaderedze.
29 Uyisibane sami, Oh Thixo, uThixo uguqula ubumnyama bami bube yikukhanya.
Imi muri mwenje wangu, Jehovha; Jehovha anoshandura rima rangu kuti rive chiedza.
30 Ngosizo lwakho ngingaphuma ngimelane lebutho lempi, ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingawukhwela umduli.
Norubatsiro rwenyu ndinogona kuenda kundorwa neboka ravarwi; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo.
31 Izindlela zikaNkulunkulu uqobo lwakhe ziphelele; ilizwi likaThixo kalilasici. Ulihawu labo bonke abaphephela kuye.
“Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakarurama kwazvo; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari.
32 Ngoba ngubani uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaThixo? Njalo ngubani oliDwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu?
33 NguNkulunkulu ongihlomisa amandla enze indlela yami iphelele.
NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anoruramisa nzira yangu.
34 Wenza inyawo zami zibe njengezempala; ungenza ngime ezingqongweni.
Anoita tsoka dzangu kuti dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira.
35 Ufundisa izandla zami ukulwa impi, izingalo zami zingaligobisa idandili lethusi.
Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira.
36 Uyanginika isihlangu sakho sokunqoba; uyazehlisela phansi ukuze ungenze ngibe mkhulu.
Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, munokotamira pasi kuti mundikurise.
37 Uqhelisa indlela enginyathela kuyo, ukuze inqagala zami zingapheci.
Munotambanudza nzira pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutsauka.
38 Ngaxotshana lezitha zami ngaziqothula; kangibuyanga ngingakazibhubhisi zonke.
“Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavaparadza; handina kudzoka kusvikira vaparadzwa.
39 Ngaziqothula okupheleleyo, njalo zazingeke zisavuka; zawela ngaphansi kwezinyawo zami.
Ndakavaparadza zvachose, uye havana kugona kumuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu.
40 Wangihlomisa ngamandla okulwa impi; wenza abaxabana lami bakhothama ezinyaweni zami.
Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vakotame patsoka dzangu.
41 Wenza izitha zami zafulathela zabaleka, njalo ngazibhubhisa izitha zami.
Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize pakurwa, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu.
42 Bakhala becela uncedo, kodwa wayengekho owayengabahlenga kuThixo, kodwa kaphendulanga.
Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna munhu akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kupindura.
43 Ngabatshaya bacholeka njengothuli lomhlabathi; ngabagxoba ngabanyathela njengodaka ezindleleni.
Ndakavapwanya vakatsetseka seguruva renyika; ndakavatswa uye ndikavatsika sedope riri munzira dzomumusha.
44 Ungikhulule ekuhlaselweni yilababantu; ungigcine ngiyinhloko yezizwe. Abantu engangingabazi sebebuswa yimi,
“Makandinunura kubva pakurwisa kwavanhu vangu; makandichengetedza somutungamiri wendudzi. Vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava pasi pangu.
45 abezizweni bayatshotshobala phambi kwami; bathi bengizwa nje ngendaba, bangilalele.
Uye vatorwa vanouya kwandiri vachidedera, pavanongondinzwa vanonditeerera.
46 Bonke badelile; beza bethuthumela bevela ezinqabeni zabo.
Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachidedera kubva panhare dzavo.
47 UThixo uyaphila! Alidunyiswe iDwala lami! Kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wami, iDwala, uMsindisi wami!
“Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari, iye Dombo, Muponesi wangu!
48 UnguNkulunkulu ongiphindiselelayo, obeka izizwe ngaphansi kwami,
Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu,
49 ongikhululayo ezitheni zami. Wena wangiphakamisela ngaphezu kwezitha zami; wangihlenga ebantwini bodlakela.
anondisunungura kubva kuvavengi vangu. Imi makandikudza pamusoro pavavengi vangu; kubva kuvanhu vanoita nechisimba, makandinunura.
50 Ngakho ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe; ngizahlabelela indumiso yebizo lakho.
Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, pakati pendudzi; ndicharumbidza zita renyu nenziyo.
51 Unika inkosi yakhe ukunqoba okukhulu; ubonakalisa umusa wakhe ongapheliyo kogcotshiweyo wakhe, kuDavida lenzalo yakhe kuze kube phakade.”
“Iye anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.”
