Njimbo 17
17
Ntembezelo we nthu usina nlandu
1Ihwani kukumbila kwakatambunuka Yahwe,
teedzani tjililo tjangu, hwililani ntembezelo
unodwa mu nlomo usina bupitipiti.
2Kusheta nlandu kwangu ngakulakidziwe ndimwi,
mesho enyu ngaabone tjakalulwama.
3Ha mungashola moyo wangu,
ha mungandikumba busiku,
ha mungandilika,
mowowana kusina bubi mundili,
nlomo wangu awutotjuluka nlayo.
4Ngekwe mishingo ye bathu,
nge dama lenyu ndakaleya zila dze bakukutu.
5Makumbo angu anolambila mu zila yenyu,
andithu atongopambuka muili.
6Ndodana imwi Ndzimu ngoti imwi mowondidabila,
munditeedze, muhwe matama angu.
7Lakidzani ludo gwenyu gunotjenamisa,
Imwi ntjidzi wa ibabo banoshaka dizhilo,
betizha zwita zwabo.
8Munditjengete se shanga ye zhisho;
mundisumbike mu ntutshi we mapapilo enyu,
9mundisumbikile babi banondigwisa,
zwita zwangu zwisingatje kubulaya zwandipoteleka.
10Banokukutadza mimoyo yabo kuti basibe ne ngoni;
Milomo yabo inolebeleka nge kuzwikudza.
11Banondilonda, bakandipoteleka sangwenu;
banoshaka sekwa bangandiligila pasi.
12Banonga shumba inoshaka kuzandabula tjainobhata,
se shumbana ilelile mu ishakana.
13Milikani Yahwe, igwani ne zwita zwangu muzwikunde.
Mundiangule nge thumo mu babi.
14Yahwe mundiangule mu bathu be shango ino,
mbhailo wabo i shango ino.
Mubalobe nge shamu yamakababiganyidzila,
bana babo bawane inopinda tjilizanyo,
basiyile bana babo.
15Koga imi nge kwangu, ndowobona tjiso tjenyu mu ndulamo;
Ndowoti ndimuka ndowoshathila kuti muyapo.
