IsiLilo 3:1-66
א [Aleph]
3 Ngimumuntu obone ubuhlungu ngebanga lentonga yelaka lakho.
2 Ungiqothile, wangenza ngakhamba ebumnyameni, ingasi ekukhanyeni.+
3 Kwamambala, ngokubuyelelweko usolo aletha isandla sakhe ngokujamelene nami ilanga loke.+
ב [Beth]
4 Yena uphethe inyamami nesikhumba sami ngelunya;Uphule amathambami.
5 Ungivimbezele, ungizombeleze ngetjhefu+ ebabako nobudisi.
6 Ungikatelele bona ngihlale eendaweni ezimnyama njengabantu abahlongakala kade.
ג [Gimel]
7 Ungivimbezele bona ngingakghoni ukuphunyurha;Ungibophe ngamaketani wekhopha abudisi.+
8 Nangililela isizo, akawuphenduli* umthandazwami.+
9 Uvimbezele iindlela zami ngamatje asikiweko;Wenze iindlela zami kwaba budisi ukukhamba kizo.+
ד [Daleth]
10 Uyangikhukhuthela njengebhere, njengebhubezi elizifihlileko.+
11 Ungikatelele bona ngiphume eendleleni wangirathula ngaba ziinquqwana;*Wangitjhiya nginganalitho.+
12 Ugobe umsubelakhe, wangenza into afuna ukuyidumuza ngomcibitjholo.
ה [He]
13 Wahlaba iziso zami ngemicibitjholo engemgodlenakhe.
14 Ngibe yinto ehlekisako kibo boke abantu, babhine ngami ilanga loke.
15 Ungizalise ngezinto ezibabako, wangiseza nenghana.+
ו [Waw]
16 Uphula amazinywami ngehlabathi;Ungenza ngiguqe emlotheni.+
17 Ungidime ukuthula, angisakwazi okuhle.
18 Nje-ke ngithi: “Iphazimulwami itjhabalele, kuhlanganise nethemba lami kuJehova.”
ז [Zayin]
19 Khumbula ubuhlungu bami nokungabi kwami nendawo yokuhlala,+ inghana netjhefu ebabako.+
20 Nakanjani uzokukhumbula begodu uzehlise phezu kwami.+
21 Ngiyakukhumbula lokhu ehliziywenami; kungebangelo ngizokulinda.+
ח [Heth]
22 Kungebanga lethando elithembekileko lakaJehova bona singakaqedwa,+Ngombana isirhawu sakhe asipheli.+
23 Ube nesirhawu qobe ekuseni;+ ukuthembeka kwakho kukhulu.+
24 “UJehova usisabelo sami,”+ Ngithe, “kungebangelo ngizomlinda.”+
ט [Teth]
25 UJehova muhle kiloyo othembele kuye,+ emuntwini osolo amfuna.+
26 Kuhle ukulindela isindiso kaJehova buthule.+
27 Kuhle ngomuntu bona athwale ijogi ngesikhathi sobutjha bakhe.+
י [Yod]
28 Akahlale ayedwa begodu asolo athulile uZimu nakalibeka phezu kwakhe.+
29 Akafake umlomakhe ethulini;+ kungenzeka kube nethemba.+
30 Akanikele umhlathakhe kiloyo ombethako; akaneliseke loyo omdelelako.
כ [Kaph]
31 Ngombana uJehova angekhe asilahle ngokupheleleko.+
32 Ngitjho nanyana abangele isizi, uzokubuya abe nesirhawu malungana nethando lakhe elithembekileko elikhulu.+
33 Ngombana akusisehliziywenakhe ukubangela amadodana wabantu isizi namkha ubuhlungu.+
ל [Lamed]
34 Ukugadanga zoke iimbotjhwa zephasini,+
35 Ukudima umuntu ubulungiswa ngaphambi koPhezukoke,+
36 Ukukhwabanisela umuntu emlandwinakhe,UJehova akazivumeli izinto ezinjalo.
מ [Mem]
37 Nje-ke, ngubani ongakhuluma akwenze kwenzeke ngaphandle kokuthi uJehova amyalile?
38 Emlonyeni woPhezukoke,Izinto ezimbi nezinto ezihle azikhambisani.
39 Kubayini umuntu ophilako kufuze anghonghoyile ngemiphumela yesono sakhe?+
נ [Nun]
40 Asihloleni, sihlolisise neendlela zethu,+ sibuyele kuJehova.+
41 Asiphakamiseleni iinhliziyo nezandla zethu kuZimu wezulwini, sithi:+
42 “Sonile, sahlubuka+ begodu akhenge usilibalele.+
ס [Samekh]
43 Ngelaka lakho usivimbele bona singatjhideli kuwe;+Usigijimisile bewasibulala ngaphandle kokusizwela.+
44 Usivimbele ngelifu ukuthi singatjhideli kuwe, bona imithandazwethu ingadluli.+
45 Usenze ifucufucu yeenzibi hlangana nabantu.”
פ [Pe]
46 Woke amanabethu akhuluma ngokujamelene nathi.+
47 Ukusaba neenthiyo kube sisabelo sethu,+ ihlekelele nokugandeleleka.+
48 Imilanjana yamanzi igeleza emehlwenami ngebanga lokugandeleleka kwendodakazi yabantu bami.+
ע [Ayin]
49 Ngilila angiqedi, angithuli,+
50 Bekube kulapho uJehova aqala phasi abone asezulwini.+
51 Amehlwami angilethele isizi ngebanga lawo woke amadodakazi wedorobheni lami.+
צ [Tsade]
52 Ngaphandle kwebanga amanabami angizumile njengenyoni.
53 Bathulise ukuphila kwami emgodini; bebasolo bangiphosa ngamatje.
54 Amanzi ageleza phezu kwehlokwami begodu ngathi: “Kuphelile ngami!”
ק [Qoph]
55 Maye! Jehova, ngabiza igama lakho, ngisekuzikeni komgodi.+
56 Yizwa iphimbo lami; ungavali indlebakho bona uzwe isililo sami sokubawa ukutjhatjhululwa.
57 Utjhidele hlanu kwami ngelanga engakubiza ngalo. Wathi: “Ungesabi.”
ר [Resh]
58 Maye! Jehova, ungivikele ekambwenami, uhlenge ukuphila kwami.+
59 Maye! Jehova ububonile ubumbi obenziwe kimi; ngibawa unginikele ubulungiswa.+
60 Ukubone koke ukuzibuyiselela kwabo, nawo woke amanwabo ngokujamelene nami.
ש [Sin] namkha [Shin]
61 Maye! Jehova, ukuzwe koke ukudelela kwabo, woke amaqhingabo ngokujamelene nami,+
62 Iindebe zabaphikisi bami nokungihleba kwabo ilanga loke.
63 Baqale; bahlezi namkha bajamile, bahlekisa ngami eengomeni zabo!
ת [Taw]
64 Maye! Jehova, uzobabuyiselela ngokwezenzo zabo.
65 Uzobenza baqinise iinhloko njengombana ubaqalekisa.
66 Uzobagijimisa ngelaka lakho, ubarhayile ngaphasi kwezulu lakaJehova.
