Izaga 8
1 Ukuhlakanipha kakumemezi yini? Ukuqedisisa kakuphakamisi ilizwi lakho na?
Ko, uchenjeri hahudanidziri here? Kunzwisisa hakusimudziri inzwi rako here?
2 Emiqolweni yezindlela, emahlanganweni ezindlela kulapho okujame khona;
Panzvimbo dzakakwirira panzira, pamharadzano dzenzira, ndipo pahumire;
3 emasangweni angena phakathi kwedolobho, ezintubeni kuyamemeza kakhulu kusithi:
parutivi rwamasuo okupinda muguta, pamikova, hunodanidzirisa huchiti,
4 “Ngimemeza lina, madoda; ilizwi lami libiza bonke abantu.
“Kwamuri, imi varume, ndinodanidzira; ndinosimudzira inzwi rangu kuvanhu vose.
5 Lina eliyizithutha, zuzani ukuqonda; lina ziphukuphuku, zuzani ukuqedisisa.
Imi vasina mano, wanai uchenjeri; imi mapenzi, wanai kunzwisisa.
6 Lalelani ngoba ngilitshela izinto eziqakathekileyo; ngivula izindebe zami ngikhuluma okuqondileyo.
Teererai, nokuti ndine zvinhu zvinokosha zvokutaura; ndinozarura muromo wangu kuti nditaure zvakarurama.
7 Umlomo wami ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ngoba izindebe zami ziyabenyanya ububi.
Muromo wangu unotaura zvokwadi, nokuti miromo yangu inovenga zvakaipa.
8 Wonke amazwi omlomo wami aqondile; kalikho lelilodwa elitshekileyo loba elingcolileyo.
Mashoko ose omuromo wangu akarurama; hapana kana rimwe rakakombama kana rakaipa.
9 Kulowo ozwisisayo wonke alungile; akulankohliso kulabo abalolwazi.
Kune ane njere ose zvawo akarurama, akarurama kuna avo vane zivo.
10 Khetha iseluleko sami kulesiliva, ulwazi kulegolide elikhethiweyo,
Sarudza kurayira kwangu panzvimbo yesirivha, ruzivo panzvimbo yegoridhe rakaisvonaka,
11 ngoba ukuhlakanipha kuligugu okudlula amarubhi, njalo akulanto ongayifisa ezifisweni zakho okulingana lakho.
nokuti uchenjeri hunokosha kupfuura marubhi, uye hapana chaungada chingaenzaniswa nahwo.
12 Mina, kuhlakanipha, ngihlala ndawonye lokuqondisisa; ngilolwazi lokukhetha kuhle.
“Ini, uchenjeri ndinogara pamwe chete navakachenjera; ndine ruzivo nenjere.
13 Ukwesaba uThixo yikuzonda ububi; ngiyakuzonda ukuzazisa lobuqholo, ukuziphatha kubi lenkulumo ebolileyo.
Kutya Jehovha ndiko kuvenga zvakaipa; ndinovenga kuzvikudza namanyawi, maitiro akaipa nokutaura kunonyangadza.
14 Ukweluleka lokwahlulela okuhle kungokwami; ngilokuzwisisa lamandla.
Zano nokutonga kwakanaka ndezvangu; ndine kunzwisisa nesimba.
15 Amakhosi abusa ngenxa yami lababusi balakho ukutshaya imithetho elungileyo;
Madzimambo anobata ushe neni uye vatongi vanodzika mirayiro yakarurama;
16 amakhosana abusa ngami, lazozonke izikhulu ezibusa emhlabeni.
machinda anofambisa ushe neni, navakuru vose vanotonga panyika.
17 Ngiyabathanda labo abangithandayo, labo abangidingayo bayangithola.
Ndinoda avo vanondida, uye vaya vanonditsvaka vanondiwana.
18 Kimi kukhona inotho lodumo, inotho engapheliyo lokuphumelela.
Pfuma nokukudzwa zvineni, upfumi hunogara nokururama.
19 Izithelo zami zingcono kulegolide elicengiweyo; okuphuma kimi kwedlula isiliva sekhethelo.
Chibereko changu chakanaka kupfuura goridhe rakaisvonaka; zvandinobereka zvinopfuura sirivha yakaisvonaka.
20 Ngihamba ngendlela yokulunga, ngilandela umkhondo wokuqonda,
Ndinofamba munzira dzokururama, pamakwara okururamisira,
21 ngiyabela inotho kulabo abangithandayo ngigcwalise iziphala zabo.
ndichipa upfumi kuna avo vanondida, uye ndichiita kuti matura avo azare.
22 UThixo wangenza ngaba khona ngaqalela konke okukhona, kuqala kokwenza ezinye izinto;
“Jehovha akandibudisa sebasa rake rokutanga pamabasa ake, kutangira mabasa ake akare;
23 ngaba khona ekudabukeni kwezinto, kwasekuqaleni, umhlaba ungakabi khona.
ndakagadzwa kubva pakusingaperi, kubva pakutanga, nyika isati yavapo.
24 Kungakabi lezilwandle, ngasengizelwe, kungakabi khona izihotsha ezigcwele amanzi;
Makungwa asati avapo, ndakaberekwa, pasati pava nezvitubu zvine mvura zhinji;
25 izintaba zingakamiswa ensikeni zazo, engakabi khona amaqaqa, ngasengizelwe,
makomo asati aiswa munzvimbo dzawo, zvikomo zvisati zvavapo, ndakaberekwa,
26 uThixo engakawenzi umhlaba lamaganga, loba lonke uthuli lomhlaba.
asati aita nyika neminda kana guruva ripi zvaro renyika.
27 Ngangikhona uThixo ehlela kuhle izulu, ephawula kuhle imingcele yomkhathi lolwandle,
Ndakanga ndiripo paakaisa matenga munzvimbo dzawo, paakaita denderedzwa pamusoro pamakungwa,
28 esenza amayezi emkhathini wazizinzisa inziki zolwandle,
paakaita makore kudenga uye paakasimbisa zvitubu zvamakungwa,
29 ebeka imingcele yolwandle ukuze amanzi angedluli izimiso zakhe, ngesikhathi lapho emisa izisekelo zomhlaba.
paakapa gungwa miganhu yaro kuti mvura dzirege kudarika zvaakarayira, uye paakateya nheyo dzenyika.
30 Ngalesosikhathi ngangingumbumbi eceleni kwakhe. Ngangilenjabulo enkulu insuku ngensuku, ngithokoza ukuba laye kokuphela,
Ipapo ndini ndaiva mhizha parutivi rwake. Ndaigara ndichifara zuva nezuva, ndichifara nguva dzose pamberi pake,
31 ngithokoza ngomhlaba wakhe wonke ngijabuliswa yibukhona babantu.
ndichifadzwa nenyika yake yose uye ndichifadzwa navanhu vose.
32 Ngakho-ke, madodana ami, ngilalelani; babusisekile labo abalondoloza izindlela zami.
“Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, teererai kwandiri; vakaropafadzwa avo vanochengeta nzira dzangu.
33 Lalelani imfundiso yami ukuze lihlakaniphe; lingaqali ukuyidela.
Teererai kurayira kwangu mugova vakachenjera; musakushayira hanya.
34 Ubusisiwe lowomuntu ongilalelayo, olinda imihla yonke eminyango yami, elindile entubeni yami.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anoteerera kwandiri, anorinda mazuva ose pamasuo angu. Anomira pamukova womusuo wangu.
35 Ngoba lowo ongifumanayo uzuza ukuphila emukeliswe ukuthandwa nguThixo.
Nokuti ani naani anondiwana anowana upenyu uye anogamuchira nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha.
36 Kodwa lowo owehlulekayo ukungifumana uyazilimaza; bonke abangizondayo bathanda ukufa.”
Asi ani naani asingandiwani anozvikuvadza; vose vanondivenga vanoda rufu.”
