< Izaga 10 >

1 Izaga zikaSolomoni: Indodana ehlakaniphileyo iletha ukuthokoza kuyise, kodwa indoda eyisiwula iletha ukudabuka kunina.
Ko e ngaahi lea fakatātā ʻa Solomone. ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tamai ʻe he foha ʻoku poto: ka ko e tama vale ko e fakaongosia ia ki heʻene faʻē.
2 Inotho ezuzwe ngobuqili kayisizi lutho, kodwa ukulunga kukhulula ekufeni.
‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae koloa ʻoe angahala ka ʻoku fakamoʻui mei he mate ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.
3 UThixo kayekeli abalungileyo belambile kodwa uyavimbela izinkanuko zezixhwali.
‌ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe Sihova ke fiekaia ʻae laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae koloa ʻae angahala.
4 Izandla ezivilaphayo ziletha ubuyanga, kodwa izandla ezikhutheleyo ziletha inotho.
Ko ia ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻae nima vaivai ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke masiva: ka ʻoku fakakoloaʻia ʻe he nima ʻoku faʻa ngāue.
5 Lowo obutha amabele ngesikhathi sawo yindodana ehlakaniphileyo, kodwa olalayo ngesikhathi sokuvuna yindodana ehlazisayo.
Ko e foha poto ia ʻaia ʻoku utu mai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana: ka ko ia ʻoku mohe ʻi he lolotonga ʻae ututaʻu ko e foha ia ʻoku [tau ]mā ai.
6 Izibusiso zingumqhele womuntu olungileyo. Kodwa ubudlwangudlwangu bugcwele emlonyeni womubi.
‌ʻOku hilifaki ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ki he ʻulu ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.
7 Umkhumbulo ngomuntu olungileyo ubusisekile kodwa ibizo lesigangi lizabola.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae fakamanatu ki he angatonu: ka ʻe popo ʻae hingoa ʻoe angahala.
8 Abahlakaniphileyo enhliziyweni bayalalela izeluleko, kodwa isiphukuphuku esivala ngomsindo siyadilika.
‌ʻE maʻu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻekinautolu ʻoku loto poto: ka ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
9 Umuntu oqotho uhamba engelakwesaba, kodwa ohamba ngezindlela ezigobileyo uzadaluleka.
‌ʻOku ʻalu mālohi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu: ka ko ia ʻoku femioʻaki hono ngaahi hala ʻe ʻiloa ia.
10 Lowo oqwayiza ngomona uletha usizi, lesiphukuphuku esivala ngomsindo siyadilika.
‌ʻOku tupu ʻae mamahi ʻiate ia ʻoku kakamo ʻaki hono mata: pea ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
11 Umlomo womuntu olungileyo ungumthombo wokuphila, kodwa ubudlwangudlwangu bugcwele emlonyeni womubi.
Ko e ngutu ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni ko e matavai ʻoe moʻui: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.
12 Inzondo idunga ingxabano, kodwa uthando lusibekela bonke ububi.
‌ʻOku tupu mei he fehiʻa ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae angahala kotoa pē.
13 Ukuhlakanipha kufunyanwa ezindebeni zalowo oqedisisayo; kodwa uswazi lwehla emhlane walowo ongezwayo.
‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻae poto ʻi he loungutu ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻilo: ka ko e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoʻona ʻoku masiva fakakaukau.
14 Abantu abahlakaniphileyo bayaluqoqa ulwazi, kodwa umlomo wesiwula ugwegwa ukubhidlika.
‌ʻOku tokonaki ʻe he kakai poto ʻae ʻilo: ka ʻoku ofi ʻae ngutu ʻoe vale ki he fakaʻauha.
15 Inotho yezikhulu ingumuzi wazo ovikelweyo; kodwa ubuyanga buyikudilika kwabampofu.
Ko e kolo mālohi ʻoe tangata koloaʻia ko ʻene koloa: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae masiva ko ʻenau masiva.
16 Inzuzo yabalungileyo iyabaphilisa, kodwa umholo wababi ubalethela ukujeziswa.
‌ʻOku tautonu ki he moʻui ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e fua ʻoe kakai angakovi ki he angahala.
17 Lowo olalela ukuqondiswa utshengisa indlela yokuphila, kodwa lowo oyala ukwelulekwa wedukisa abanye.
Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tala fakapoto ʻoku ʻi he hala ki he moʻui: ka ko ia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae valoki ʻoku hē ia.
18 Lowo ofihla inzondo yakhe ulendebe ezilamanga, kuthi lowo onyeyayo yisiwula.
Ko ia ʻoku fufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻae loungutu loi, mo ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakakoviʻi, ʻoku fakatou vale.
19 Lapho okwande khona amazwi, isono kasisweleki, kodwa lowo ogcina ulimi lwakhe uhlakaniphile.
‌ʻI he lahi ʻoe lea ʻoku ʻikai ke masiva ia ʻi he angahala: ka ko e poto ia ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ki hono loungutu.
20 Ulimi lomuntu olungileyo luyisiliva esikhethiweyo, kodwa inhliziyo yesigangi kayisilutho.
‌ʻOku tatau mo e siliva lelei ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae loto ʻoe angahala.
21 Izindebe zolungileyo ziphilisa abanengi; kodwa iziwula ziyafa ngokuswela ingqondo.
‌ʻOku fafangaʻi ʻae toko lahi ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku mate ʻae kakai vale koe meʻa ʻi heʻenau masiva poto.
22 Isibusiso sikaThixo siletha inotho, leyonotho ingabi lahlupho.
Ko e tāpuaki meia Sihova, ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻomi mo ia ha mamahi.
23 Isiwula siyajabula ezenzweni zobubi, kodwa umuntu ozwisisayo uthokoza ngokuhlakanipha.
‌ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa vaʻinga ki he vale ʻa ʻene fai kovi: ka ʻoku ʻi he tangata faʻa fakakaukau ʻae poto.
24 Lokho akwesabayo omubi kuzamfumana; kodwa lokho akuloyisayo olungileyo uzakuphiwa.
‌ʻE hoko mai pe ki he angahala ʻa ʻene manavahē: ka ʻe foaki ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne holi ki ai.
25 Nxa isiphepho sesikhukhule sedlula, ababi sebedlule, kodwa abalungileyo bagxilile lanini.
‌ʻO hangē ko e mole atu ʻae ʻahiohio, ʻoku pehē ʻae angahala: ka ʻoku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae tuʻunga taʻengata.
26 Njengeviniga emlonyeni, lentuthu emehlweni, unjalo olesidensi kulabo abamthumayo.
‌ʻO hangē ko e vaimahi ki he nifo, mo e ʻohuafi ki he mata, ʻoku pehē ʻae fakapikopiko kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fekaua ia.
27 Ukumesaba uThixo kuyengeza ubude bempilo, kodwa iminyaka yababi iyafinyezwa.
‌ʻOku fakalahi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe he manavahē kia Sihova: ka ʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻoe angahala.
28 Ikusasa yabalungileyo iyikuthokoza, kodwa amathemba ababi aphelela ezeni.
Ko e ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fiefia ia: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae ʻamanaki ʻoe angahala.
29 Indlela kaThixo yisiphephelo sabalungileyo, kodwa iyikubhidlika kwalabo abenza okubi.
Ko e hala ʻo Sihova ko e mālohi ia ki he angatonu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu ʻoku ngāue ʻi he angahala.
30 Abalungileyo kabasiphuleki, kodwa ababi kabayikusala elizweni.
‌ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa ueʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻi māmani ʻae kakai angahala.
31 Umlomo womuntu olungileyo ukhupha inhlakanipho, kodwa ulimi oluxhwalileyo luzaqunywa.
‌ʻOku ʻomi mei he ngutu ʻoe angatonu ʻae poto: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe talangataʻa.
32 Izindebe zabalungileyo ziyakwazi okufaneleyo, kodwa umlomo wezigangi ukhupha izibozi.
‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ka ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
