Ecclesiastes 10
1 Loang misa uh ku in oru sufa nufon soko ke mwe akmusra keng in kolukla fohlo, ouinge ouiya na lalfon srisrik se ku in akkolukyela lalmwetmet na lulap.
Impukane ezifileyo zinukisa zibilise amagcobo omthaki; ubuthutha obuncinyane benza njalo kohloniphekayo ngenxa yenhlakanipho lodumo.
2 Sie mwet lalmwetmet el pahlana in oru ma suwohs, ac sie mwet lalfon el pahla in oru ma sutuu.
Inhliziyo yohlakaniphileyo ingakwesokunene sakhe, kodwa inhliziyo yesithutha ingakwesokhohlo saso.
3 Lalfon lal uh ac kalem sin mwet nukewa, finne mwetsac ma fufahsryesr inkanek uh elos ac ku pac in akilen.
Yebo-ke lapho oyisithutha ehamba endleleni, ingqondo yakhe iyasilela, uthi kuye wonke uyisithutha.
4 Mwet kol lom fin kasrkusrakak sum, nimet kom sisla orekma lom an, mweyen muteng uh ku in akmisye inse toasr na yohk.
Uba umoya wombusi ukuvukela, ungatshiyi indawo yakho, ngoba ukuthobeka kuyathulisa iziphambeko ezinkulu.
5 Pa inge sie ouiya sesuwos nga konauk fin faclu — ouiya se inge ma orek sin mwet kol.
Kulobubi engibubone ngaphansi kwelanga, njengesiphosiso esiphuma ebusweni bombusi:
6 Itukyang kunokon fulat nu sin mwet lalfon, a mwet kasrup elos oru orekma pusisel.
Ubuwula bubekwa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo kakhulu, labanothileyo bahlala endaweni ephansi.
7 Nga liye tari ke mwet kohs uh kasrusr fin horse, ac mwet leum elos fahsrna oana mwet kohs uh.
Ngibonile izigqili zigade amabhiza, leziphathamandla zihamba njengezigqili emhlabeni.
8 Kom fin pukanak sie luf, kom ac ku in putatyang nu loac. Kom fin fokolla sie pot, soko serpent in pot uh ac ku in ngaliskomi.
Ogebha umgodi uzawela kuwo; lodiliza umthangala, inyoka izamluma.
9 Kom fin orekma ke sie acn in pukpuk eot, kom ku na in ngalyak kac. Kom fin lip etong, kom ku in ongoiya kac.
Osusa amatshe uzalinyazwa yiwo; obanda izigodo uzakuba sengozini ngazo.
10 Tuhla lom ah fin safit ac kom tia tamla, kom ac kemkatu ke orekmakinya. Mwet lalmwetmet uh elos motkwala arulana wo meet, na saflaiya uh wo.
Uba insimbi ibuthundu njalo engaloli ubukhali, ngakho ufanele engezelele amandla; kodwa inhlakanipho yinhle ukulungisa.
11 Kom finne etu in akmunaye soko serpent, ac wangin sripa kom fin fuhlela in ngaliskomi meet.
Uba inyoka iluma kungelakulunjwa, kakulanzuzo kungcitshi yolimi.
12 Kas lun sie mwet lalmwetmet ac oru mwet uh in akfulatyal, a kas lun sie mwet lalfon sifacna kunausulla.
Amazwi omlomo ohlakaniphileyo alomusa, kodwa indebe zesithutha ziyasiginya.
13 El mutawauk ke kaskas lusrongten, na saflaiya el arulana kaskas wel.
Ukuqala kwamazwi omlomo waso kuyibuthutha, lokucina kwenkulumo yaso kuyibuhlanya obubi,
14 Sie mwet lalfon el sramsram loeloes. Wangin sie mwet etu lah mea ac sikyak toko, ac wangin sie mwet ku in fahkma lah mea ac sikyak tukun kut misa.
njalo isithutha sandisa amazwi. Umuntu kazi okuzakuba khona; lalokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe, ngubani ongamtshela khona?
15 Sie mwet su sifacna aktotoyella ke orekma upalana lal, el oana mwet lalfon se su nukanla innek nu lohm sel ah.
Umtshikatshika wesithuthandini uyasidinisa, ngoba kasazi ukuya emzini.
16 Tokosra lun sie mutunfacl fin sie mwet fusr, ac mwet kol we fin orek kufwa ke fong fon, facl sac ac fah sun ongoiya.
Maye kuwe, lizwe, onkosi yakho ingumntwana, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ekuseni!
17 Tusruktu sie tokosra fin ma ke sou leum, ac mwet kol elos mongo in akkeye manolos ac sifacna liyalosyang in tia sruhi, na mutunfacl sac fah insewowo.
Ubusisiwe, lizwe, onkosi yakho iyindodana yabakhulu, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo, zidlela ukuqina, hatshi ukudakwa.
18 Mwet se fin alsrangesr in onala fahsu ke lohm sel, na ac wohn, ac lohm sac ac musalla.
Ngobuvila obukhulu intungo ziyabhensa, langokuyekethisa izandla indlu iyanethela.
19 Mwe mongo uh akenganye mwet uh, ac wain uh akpwaryalos, tusruktu ma inge kewa tia ku in orek fin wangin mani.
Idili lenzelwa uhleko, lewayini lithokozisa impilo; kodwa imali iyimpendulo yakho konke.
20 Nimet akkolukye tokosra finne in nunak lom, ac nimet akkolukye mwet kasrup finne infukil in motul sum sifacna. Sie won sohksok ku in tafwela kas inge nu selos.
Lemcabangweni wakho ungayithuki inkosi, lekamelweni lakho lokulala ungamthuki onothileyo; ngoba inyoni yamazulu izathwala ilizwi, lokulamaphiko kubike udaba.
