Lododowo 9
1 Nunya tu eƒe xɔ eye wòɖo eƒe sɔti adreawo te.
Inhlakanipho enkulu yakhe indlu yayo, ibaze insika zayo eziyisikhombisa.
2 Etrɔ asi le eƒe lã si wòwu ŋu, tɔtɔ eƒe wain, eye wòɖo eƒe kplɔ̃ hã.
Ihlabe okuhlatshwayo kwayo, ixubanise iwayini layo, futhi yalungisa itafula layo.
3 Edɔ eƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe dua ƒe kɔkɔƒe ke hedo ɣli be,
Ithume incekukazi zayo, iyamemeza engqongeni zendawo eziphakemeyo zomuzi zisithi:
4 “Mi bebewuwo katã mige ɖe eme le afii!” Egblɔ na numanyalawo be,
Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; oswele ingqondo, ithi kuye:
5 “Miva, miɖu nye nu eye mino nye wain si metɔtɔ.
Wozani, lidle okwesinkwa sami, linathe okwewayini engilixubanisileyo.
6 Miɖe asi le bometsitsi ŋu, ekema mianɔ agbe eye miazɔ le gɔmesese me.
Yekelani abangelalwazi liphile, lihambe ngokuqonda ngendlela yokuqedisisa.
7 “Ame si le nya gbem na fewuɖula la le eƒe dzu dɔm eye ame si ka mo na ame vɔ̃ɖi la xɔa dzudzu.
Osola isiklolodi uzizuzela ihlazo, lokhuza okhohlakeleyo uzizuzela isici.
8 Mègaka mo na fewuɖula o, ne menye nenema o la, alé fu wò; ke boŋ ka mo na nunyala eye alɔ̃ wò nya.
Ungasoli isiklolodi, hlezi sikuzonde; sola ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuthanda.
9 Fia nu nunyala, aganya nu ɖe edzi wu, fia nu ame dzɔdzɔe eye agasrɔ̃ nu akpe ɖe esi wònya xoxo la ŋuti.
Nika ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuba lokhu ehlakanipha; fundisa olungileyo, njalo uzakwandisa ukufunda.
10 “Yehowa vɔvɔ̃e nye nunya ƒe gɔmedzedze eye sidzedze Kɔkɔetɔ la nye gɔmesese
Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, lolwazi lwabangcwele luyikuqedisisa.
11 elabena to dzinye wò ŋkekewo adzi ɖe edzi fũu eye woatsɔ ƒewo akpe wò agbenɔƒewo.
Ngoba ngami insuku zakho zizakwandiswa, leminyaka yempilo yengezelelwe kuwe.
12 Ne èdze nunya la, wò nunya ahe viɖe vɛ na wò; ke ne ènye fewuɖula la, wò ɖeka koe akpe fu.”
Uba uhlakaniphile, uzakuba uzihlakaniphele; uba ukloloda, uzakuthwala wedwa.
13 Nyɔnu bometsila la le ɣli dom, womekplae o eye menya nu hã o.
Owesifazana oyisithutha ulomsindo, kalangqondo, kazi lutho.
14 Enɔ anyi ɖe eƒe aƒe ƒe ʋɔtru nu, enɔ anyi ɖe zikpui dzi le du la ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake
Ngoba uhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni, endaweni eziphakemeyo zomuzi,
15 le ame siwo va le eme tsom la yɔm, ame siwo lé woƒe mɔ tsɔ tẽe be,
ukubiza abadlulayo ngendlela, abahamba beqondile emikhondweni yabo, esithi:
16 “Mí ame siwo katã nye bebewuwo la, mige ɖe eme le afii!” Egblɔna na ame siwo menya nu o la be,
Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; loswele ingqondo, uthi kuye:
17 “Tsi si wofi la vivina, eye nu si woɖu le vivime la vivina!”
Amanzi ebiweyo amnandi, lesinkwa sensitha siyahlabusa.
