Solomona 5
1 E KUU keiki, e hoolohe mai i ko'u naauao, E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ko'u iko:
Ndodana yami, lalela inhlakanipho yami, beka indlebe yakho ekuqedisiseni kwami,
2 I malama oe i ke aoia mai, E hoopaa hoi kou mau lehelehe i ka ike.
ukuze uqaphele ingqondo, lendebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
3 No ka mea, o na lehelehe o ka wahine hookamakama he meli ia e kulu ana, A ua oi aku ka pahee o kona waha i ko ka aila.
Ngoba indebe zowesifazana wemzini zithonta uluju, lomlomo wakhe ubutshelezi kulamafutha.
4 Aka, na awahia kona hope, e like me ka laau awaawa, Oioi hoi o like me ka pahikaua oi lua.
Kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyababa njengomhlonyane, kubukhali njengenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili.
Inyawo zakhe zehlela ekufeni; izinyathelo zakhe zibambelela esihogweni. (Sheol h7585)
6 I ole oe e noonoo i ke ala o ko ola, He loli wale kona noho ana i ole oe e ike aku.
Hlezi ulinganise indlela yempilo, imikhondo yakhe iyazulazula, kananzeleli.
7 Ano la, e na keiki, hoolohe mai ia'u, Mai haliu ae mai ka olelo aku a kuu waha.
Ngakho-ke, bantwana, ngilalelani, lingaphambuki emazwini omlomo wami.
8 E hooneenee loa aku i kou hele ana mai ona aku, Mai hookokoke aku oe i ka puka o kona hale:
Dedisela indlela yakho khatshana laye, ungasondeli emnyango wendlu yakhe;
9 O haawi oe i kou nani i na mea e, A me kon mau makahiki hoi i ka mea aloha ole:
hlezi unikele udumo lwakho kwabanye, leminyaka yakho kolesihluku;
10 O lako hoi na mea e i kou mau mea maikai; A me na hale o ka malihini i kau waiwai;
hlezi abezizwe bazisuthise ngamandla akho, lemitshikatshika yakho ibe sendlini yowezizweni;
11 A uwe oe i kou hope, I ka pau ana o kou io a me kou kino;
njalo ububule ekupheleni kwakho, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekudliwe;
12 A e olelo hoi, Auwe ko'u inaina aku i ka ike, A me ka hoowahawaha ana o ko'u naau i ke aoia mai!
njalo uthi: Ngikuzonde njani ukulaywa, lenhliziyo yami yadelela ukukhuzwa!
13 Aole au i hoolohe i ka leo o ka'u mau kumu, Aole hoi i haliu aku ko'u pepeiao i ka poe i ao mai ia'u!
Kangizwanga-ke ilizwi labafundisi bami; kangibekanga indlebe zami kwabangifundisayo!
14 Mai noho au ma na hewa a pau loa, Mawaena o ke anaina a me ka ahakanaka.
Ngaphosa ngaba ebubini bonke phakathi kwebandla lenhlangano.
15 E ia u oe i ka wai noloko ae o kou punawai, A i na waikahe hoi noloko ae o kou kahawai.
Natha amanzi emgodini wakho, lemifula ephuma phakathi komthombo wakho.
16 E hu aku iwaho kou mau lokowai, A kahe na auwai ma na alanui.
Imithombo yakho ichitheke phandle, izifula zamanzi emidangeni.
17 Nau wale iho no lakou, Aole na ka poe malihini pu me oe.
Kakube ngokwakho wedwa, kungabi ngokwabezizweni kanye lawe.
18 E hoomaikaiia kou punawai; A e olioli oe me ka wahine o kou wa ui.
Umthombo wakho kawubusiswe; uthokoze ngomfazi wobutsha bakho;
19 He dia aloha ia a me ka ibeka oluolu; E maona oe i na la a pau i kona waiu, E ana mau oe i kona aloha.
impala ethandekayo kakhulu, legogo elibukekayo; amabele akhe kawakusuthise sonke isikhathi, uzule othandweni lwakhe kokuphela.
20 No ke aha la e ona oe, e kuu keiki, i ka wahine e, A e apo oe i ka wahine a hai ma kou umauma?
Kungani-ke, ndodana yami, uzule kowesifazana wemzini, ugone isifuba sowemzini?
21 No ka mea, e kau pono ana na maka o Iehova i ka aoao o ke kanaka, E ike ana no hoi i kona mau aoao a pau,
Ngoba indlela zomuntu ziphambi kwamehlo eNkosi; njalo iyalinganisa yonke imikhondo yakhe.
22 E puni ka mea hewa i kona hala iho, E heiia hoi oia i ka hei o kona hewa iho.
Ezakhe iziphambeko zizabamba omubi, abanjwe zintambo zesono sakhe.
23 E make oia me ke ao ole ia mai; A e hele hewa oia i ka nui o kona naaupo ana.
Yena uzakufa ngokungalaywa, lebukhulwini bobuthutha bakhe uzaduha.
