Izaga 15
1 Impendulo ethobekileyo iyaludedisa ulaka, kodwa ilizwi elilukhuni livusa ulaka.
Kuyankha kofatsa kumathetsa mkwiyo, koma mawu ozaza amautsa ukali.
2 Ulimi lomuntu ohlakaniphileyo lukhulisa ulwazi, kodwa umlomo wesiwula uphihlika ubuphukuphuku.
Munthu wanzeru amayankhula zinthu za nzeru, koma pakamwa pa zitsiru pamatulutsa za uchitsiru.
3 Amehlo kaThixo asezindaweni zonke, alinde ababi labalungileyo.
Maso a Yehova ali ponseponse, amayangʼana pa oyipa ndi abwino omwe.
4 Ulimi oluletha ukuphola luyisihlahla sokuphila, kodwa ulimi olukhohlisayo luyawephula umoya.
Kuyankhula kodekha kuli ngati mtengo wopatsa moyo, koma kuyankhula kopotoka kumapweteka mtima.
5 Isiwula siyakulahla ukulaya kukayise, kodwa owemukela ukuqondiswa uveza ukuhlakanipha.
Chitsiru chimanyoza mwambo wa abambo ake, koma wochenjera amasamala chidzudzulo.
6 Indlu yolungileyo igcwele inotho, kodwa inzuzo yababi ibehlisela uhlupho.
Munthu wolungama amakhala ndi chuma chambiri, zimene woyipa amapindula nazo zimamugwetsa mʼmavuto.
7 Izindlela zabahlakaniphileyo ziyalwandisa ulwazi, kodwa kazenzi njalo inhliziyo zeziwula.
Pakamwa pa anthu anzeru pamafalitsa nzeru; koma mitima ya zitsiru sitero.
8 UThixo uyawenyanya umhlatshelo wababi, kodwa umkhuleko wabaqotho uyamthokozisa.
Nsembe za anthu oyipa zimamunyansa Yehova, koma amakondwera ndi pemphero la anthu owona mtima.
9 UThixo uyayenyanya indlela yababi, kodwa uyabathanda labo abalandela ukulunga.
Ntchito za anthu oyipa zimamunyansa Yehova koma amakonda amene amafunafuna chilungamo.
10 Ukujeziswa okubuhlungu kumlindele ophambuka endleleni; ozonda ukuqondiswa uzakufa.
Amene amasiya njira yabwino adzalangidwa koopsa. Odana ndi chidzudzulo adzafa.
Manda ndi chiwonongeko ndi zosabisika pamaso pa Yehova, nanji mitima ya anthu! (Sheol h7585)
12 Isideleli siyakuzonda ukuqondiswa; kasibuzi kwabahlakaniphileyo.
Wonyoza sakonda kudzudzulidwa; iye sapita kwa anthu anzeru.
13 Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza ubuso buchelese, kodwa inhliziyo ebuhlungu yephula umoya.
Mtima wokondwa umachititsa nkhope kukhala yachimwemwe, koma mtima wosweka umawawitsa moyo.
14 Inhliziyo eqedisisayo idinga ulwazi, kodwa umlomo wesiwula wongiwa ngobuthutha.
Mtima wa munthu wozindikira zinthu umafunafuna nzeru, koma pakamwa pa zitsiru pamadya uchitsiru wawo.
15 Zonke insuku zabancindezelweyo zilukhuni, kodwa inhliziyo ethokozileyo ihlezi iminza.
Munthu woponderezedwa masiku ake onse amakhala oyipa, koma mtima wachimwemwe umakhala pa chisangalalo nthawi zonse.
16 Kungcono ukuba lokulutshwana umesaba uThixo kulokuba lenotho enengi ulenhlupho.
Kuli bwino kukhala ndi zinthu pangʼono nʼkumaopa Yehova, kusiyana ndi kukhala ndi chuma chambiri uli pamavuto.
17 Kungcono ukutsheba ngemibhida lapho okulothando khona, kulokudla inyama enonileyo okugcwele khona inzondo.
Kuli bwino kudyera ndiwo zamasamba pamene pali chikondi, kusiyana ndi kudyera nyama yangʼombe yonenepa pamene pali udani.
18 Ololaka oluvuthayo ubanga ukuxabana, kodwa umuntu obekezelayo uqeda inkani.
Munthu wopsa mtima msanga amayambitsa mikangano, koma munthu woleza mtima amathetsa ndewu.
19 Indlela yevila igcwele ameva, kodwa indlela yomuntu olungileyo ikhamisile.
Njira ya munthu waulesi ndi yowirira ndi mtengo waminga, koma njira ya munthu wolungama ili ngati msewu waukulu.
20 Indodana ehlakaniphileyo iletha intokozo kuyise, kodwa indoda eyisiwula yeyisa unina.
Mwana wanzeru amakondweretsa abambo ake, koma mwana wopusa amanyoza amayi ake.
21 Ubuthutha bujabulisa umuntu ongelangqondo, kodwa umuntu olokuzwisisa uhamba ngendlela eqondileyo.
Uchitsiru umakondweretsa munthu wopanda nzeru, koma munthu womvetsa zinthu amayenda mowongoka.
22 Amaqhinga ayehluleka nxa kungelazeluleko, kodwa ayaphumelela ngabeluleki abanengi.
Popanda uphungu zolinga zako munthu zimalephereka, koma pakakhala aphungu ambiri zolinga zimatheka.
23 Umuntu uyathokoza ngokupha impendulo eqondileyo yeka kuhle kangakanani ukuzwa ilizwi elifaneleyo!
Munthu amakondwera ndi kuyankha koyenera, ndipo mawu onena pa nthawi yake ndi okoma.
Munthu wanzeru amatsata njira yopita ku moyo kuti apewe malo okhala anthu akufa. (Sheol h7585)
25 UThixo uyayibhidliza indlu yomuntu oziphakamisayo, kodwa indawo yomfelokazi kayiyikuncitshiswa.
Yehova amapasula nyumba ya munthu wonyada koma amasamalira malo a mkazi wamasiye.
26 UThixo uyayizonda imicabango yababi, kodwa leyo eyabalungileyo iyamthabisa.
Maganizo a anthu oyipa amamunyansa Yehova, koma mawu a anthu oyera mtima amamusangalatsa.
27 Indoda eyisihwaba iluhlupho kwabendlu yayo, kodwa lowo ozonda ukufunjathiswa uzaphila.
Munthu wofuna phindu mwachinyengo amavutitsa banja lake, koma wodana ndi ziphuphu adzakhala ndi moyo.
28 Olungileyo uyayihlolisisa impendulo engakaphenduli, kodwa umlomo womubi ukhihliza okubi.
Munthu wolungama amaganizira za mmene ayankhire, koma pakamwa pa munthu woyipa pamatulutsa mawu oyipa.
29 UThixo ukhatshana kwababi, kodwa uyezwa umkhuleko wabalungileyo.
Yehova amakhala kutali ndi anthu oyipa, koma amamva pemphero la anthu olungama.
30 Ubuso obubobothekayo buletha intokozo enhliziyweni, lezindaba ezinhle ziqinisa umzimba.
Kuwala kwa maso kumasangalatsa mtima ndipo uthenga wabwino umalimbitsa munthu.
31 Lowo olalela ukukhuzwa okumphilisayo, uzahlala kuhle labahlakaniphileyo.
Womvera mawu a chidzudzulo amene apatsa moyo adzakhala pakati pa anthu anzeru.
32 Lowo onganaki ukulaywa uyazeyisa yena ngokwakhe, kodwa onanza iziqondiso uzuza ukuzwisisa.
Amene amanyoza mwambo amadzinyoza yekha, koma womvera mawu a chidzudzulo amapeza nzeru zomvetsa zinthu.
33 Ukumesaba uThixo kufundisa umuntu ukuhlakanipha, njalo ukuzithoba kwandulela udumo.
Kuopa Yehova kumaphunzitsa munthu nzeru, ndipo kudzichepetsa ndi ulemu chili patsogolo ndi kudzichepetsa.
