2 USamuyeli 22
1 UDavida wasekhuluma eNkosini amazwi alelihubo mhla iNkosi imkhulula esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke lesandleni sikaSawuli.
Dhavhidhi akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva muruoko rwavavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro.
2 Wasesithi: INkosi ilidwala lami, lenqaba yami, lomkhululi wami;
Akati: “Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu uye mununuri wangu;
3 uNkulunkulu wedwala lami, ngizaphephela kuye, isihlangu sami, lophondo losindiso lwami, inqaba yami ephakemeyo, lesiphephelo sami, umsindisi wami; ungisindisile odlakeleni.
Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, ndinovanda maari, nhoo yangu, norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu. Ndiye nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu nomuponesi wangu, munondiponesa pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
4 Ngizabiza iNkosi edumisekayo, ngakho ngizasindiswa ezitheni zami.
Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye anofanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.
5 Ngoba izinsizi zokufa zingizingelezele, lezikhukhula zobubi zangethusa.
“Mafungu orufu akandikomba; mvura zhinji yokuparadza yakandifukidza.
Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakandivinga. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngayibiza iNkosi, ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami; waselizwa ilizwi lami esethempelini lakhe, lokukhala kwami kwafinyelela endlebeni zakhe.
Mukutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari wangu. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika munzeve dzake.
8 Khona umhlaba wazamazama, wanyikinyeka, izisekelo zamazulu zaqhaqhazela, zazamazama, ngoba wayethukuthele.
“Nyika yakadedera uye ikazungunuka, nheyo dzokudenga dzakadengenyeka; dzakadedera nokuti akanga atsamwa.
9 Kwenyuka intuthu emakhaleni akhe, lomlilo ophuma emlonyeni wakhe waqothula; amalahle avuthiswa yiwo.
Utsi hwakakwira kubva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akapfutamo.
10 Wasekhothamisa amazulu, wehlela phansi; lomnyama onzima wawungaphansi kwenyawo zakhe.
Akakamura matenga akaburuka pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake.
11 Wasegada ikherubhi, waphapha, wabonakala phezu kwempiko zomoya.
Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka mudenga denga pamapapiro emhepo.
12 Wasemisa umnyama waba ngamadumba inhlangothi zonke zakhe, lokuqoqana kwamanzi, amayezi amnyama omkhathi.
Akaita kuti rima rimupoteredze setende, iwo makore matema emvura yokudenga.
13 Ekukhazimuleni okuphambi kwakhe kwavuthiswa amalahle omlilo.
Kubva pakupenya kwokuvapo kwake mabhananʼana emheni akapenya.
14 INkosi yaduma isemazulwini, loPhezukonke walikhupha ilizwi lakhe.
Jehovha akatinhira ari kudenga; inzwi reWokumusoro-soro rakanzwikazve.
15 Yathuma imitshoko, yabachitha; imibane, yabaphaphathekisa.
Akapfura miseve akaparadzira vavengi, mabhananʼana emheni akavaparadza.
16 Khona kwabonakala imisele yolwandle, kwembulwa izisekelo zomhlaba, ekusoleni kweNkosi, ekuvutheleni komoya wamakhala ayo.
Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena uye nheyo dzenyika dzakabudiswa pachena nokutuka kwaJehovha, nokufema kwomweya wemhino dzake.
17 Iphezulu yathuma, yangibamba, yangenyula emanzini amanengi.
“Akatambanudza ruoko ari kudenga akandibata; akandibudisa kubva pamvura yakadzika.
18 Yangophula esitheni sami esilamandla, kwabangizondayo, ngoba babelamandla kulami.
Akandinunura kubva pamuvengi wangu ane simba, kubva kuvavengi, vakanga vachindikurira pasimba.
19 Babephambi kwami osukwini lwenhlupheko yami, kodwa iNkosi yaba yisisekelo sami.
Vakandivinga muzuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu.
20 Yangikhuphela endaweni ebanzi, yangikhulula, ngoba yayithokoza ngami.
Akandibudisira kunzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira.
21 INkosi yangivuza njengokulunga kwami, yangibuyisela njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
“Jehovha akandiitira zviri maererano nokururama kwangu; maererano nokuchena kwamaoko angu, akandipa mubayiro.
22 Ngoba ngizilondolozile indlela zeNkosi, kangisukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngenkohlakalo.
Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita chakaipa ndichitsauka kubva kuna Mwari wangu.
23 Ngoba zonke izahlulelo zayo zaziphambi kwami, lezimiso zayo, kangiphambukanga kuzo.
Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka kubva pamitemo yake.
24 Njalo ngangiqondile phambi kwayo, ngizinqandile ebubini bami.
Ndakanga ndisina chandinopomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndirege kutadza.
25 Ngakho iNkosi ingibuyisele njengokulunga kwami, njengokuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwamehlo ayo.
Jehovha akandipa mubayiro maererano nokururama kwangu, maererano nokuchema kwangu pamberi pake.
26 Kolesihawu uzaziveza ulesihawu; koqotho uzaziveza uqotho;
“Kune vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kune vasina chavanopomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu,
27 kohlanzekileyo uzaziveza uhlanzekile; lakophambukileyo uzaziveza uphambukile.
kune vakachena munozviratidza makachena, asi kune vasakarurama munozviratidza nehasha.
28 Labantu abahlutshwayo uzabasindisa, kodwa amehlo akho aphezu kwabaziphakamisayo, uzabehlisela phansi.
Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi meso enyu ari pamusoro pavanozvikudza kuti muvaderedze.
29 Ngoba uyisibane sami, Nkosi, iNkosi izakhanyisa-ke ubumnyama bami.
Imi muri mwenje wangu, Jehovha; Jehovha anoshandura rima rangu kuti rive chiedza.
30 Ngoba ngawe ngigijimile ngadabula phakathi kwebutho, ngoNkulunkulu wami ngeqe umthangala.
Norubatsiro rwenyu ndinogona kuenda kundorwa neboka ravarwi; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo.
31 UNkulunkulu; indlela yakhe iphelele; ilizwi leNkosi lihloliwe; uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.
“Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakarurama kwazvo; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari.
32 Ngoba ngubani onguNkulunkulu ngaphandle kweNkosi? Njalo ngubani olidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu?
Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu?
33 UNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami lamandla, owenza indlela yami iphelele.
NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anoruramisa nzira yangu.
34 Owenza inyawo zami zibe njengezezimpala, wangimisa ezingqongeni zami.
Anoita tsoka dzangu kuti dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira.
35 Ofundisela izandla zami impi, ukuze idandili lethusi ligotshiswe zingalo zami.
Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira.
36 Unginikile lesihlangu sosindiso lwakho, lokuzithoba kwakho kungikhulisile.
Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, munokotamira pasi kuti mundikurise.
37 Wenze laba banzi inyathelo lami ngaphansi kwami, ukuze inqagala zami zingatsheleli.
Munotambanudza nzira pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutsauka.
38 Ngixotshene lezitha zami ngazibhubhisa, kangibuyanga ngaze ngaziqeda.
“Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavaparadza; handina kudzoka kusvikira vaparadzwa.
39 Ngaziqeda, ngazigwaza, ukuze zingavuki; kodwa zawa ngaphansi kwenyawo zami.
Ndakavaparadza zvachose, uye havana kugona kumuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu.
40 Ngoba ungibhincise amandla kusenzelwa impi, wabakhothamisela phansi kwami abangivukelayo.
Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vakotame patsoka dzangu.
41 Unginike intamo yezitha zami, labo abangizondayo ngababhubhisa.
Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize pakurwa, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu.
42 Bakhangela, kodwa engekho umsindisi; eNkosini, kodwa kayibaphendulanga.
Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna munhu akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kupindura.
43 Ngasengibacholisisa njengothuli lomhlaba, ngabagxoba njengodaka lwezitalada, ngabatsahaza.
Ndakavapwanya vakatsetseka seguruva renyika; ndakavatswa uye ndikavatsika sedope riri munzira dzomumusha.
44 Wasungikhulula ekuphikiseni kwabantu bami, wangigcina ngiyinhloko yezizwe; abantu engangingabazi bangisebenzela.
“Makandinunura kubva pakurwisa kwavanhu vangu; makandichengetedza somutungamiri wendudzi. Vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava pasi pangu.
45 Abezizweni bazazehlisela phansi kimi; bangenela ukuzwa ngendlebe bazangilalela.
Uye vatorwa vanouya kwandiri vachidedera, pavanongondinzwa vanonditeerera.
46 Abezizweni bazabuna, baphume ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumela.
Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachidedera kubva panhare dzavo.
47 INkosi iyaphila; njalo kalibusiswe idwala lami, kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu, idwala losindiso lwami;
“Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari, iye Dombo, Muponesi wangu!
48 uNkulunkulu onginika impindiselo, lowehlisela izizwe ngaphansi kwami;
Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu,
49 longikhupha ezitheni zami; laphezu kwabangivukelayo wena wangiphakamisa; lemuntwini wodlakela wangikhulula.
anondisunungura kubva kuvavengi vangu. Imi makandikudza pamusoro pavavengi vangu; kubva kuvanhu vanoita nechisimba, makandinunura.
50 Ngenxa yalokhu ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwezizwe, ngihubele ibizo lakho indumiso.
Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, pakati pendudzi; ndicharumbidza zita renyu nenziyo.
51 Ingumphotshongo wosindiso kuyo inkosi yayo, isenzela ogcotshiweyo wayo umusa, kuDavida, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini.
“Iye anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.”
