UJakhobe 3
1 Lingabi ngabafundisi abanengi, bazalwane bami, lisazi ukuthi sizakwemukela isigwebo esikhulu.
he mama bhrātaraḥ, śikṣakairasmābhi rgurutaradaṇḍo lapsyata iti jñātvā yūyam aneke śikṣakā mā bhavata|
2 Ngoba sonke siyakhubeka ezintweni ezinengi. Uba umuntu engakhubeki elizwini, lowo uyindoda epheleleyo, elamandla okukhina lomzimba wonke.
yataḥ sarvve vayaṁ bahuviṣayeṣu skhalāmaḥ, yaḥ kaścid vākye na skhalati sa siddhapuruṣaḥ kṛtsnaṁ vaśīkarttuṁ samarthaścāsti|
3 Khangela, sifaka amatomu emilonyeni yamabhiza ukuze asilalele, sibe sesiqondisa umzimba wonke wawo kwenye indlela.
paśyata vayam aśvān vaśīkarttuṁ teṣāṁ vaktreṣu khalīnān nidhāya teṣāṁ kṛtsnaṁ śarīram anuvarttayāmaḥ|
4 Khangela, lemikhumbi, lanxa imikhulu kangaka njalo iqhutshwa yimimoya elamandla, iyaqondiswa kwenye indlela ngephinyana nje, lapho isifiso somtshayeli esifuna khona.
paśyata ye potā atīva bṛhadākārāḥ pracaṇḍavātaiśca cālitāste'pi karṇadhārasya mano'bhimatād atikṣudreṇa karṇena vāñchitaṁ sthānaṁ pratyanuvarttante|
5 Lunjalo lolimi luyisitho esincinyane, kanti luzincoma kakhulu. Khangela, umlilo omncinyane uyatshisa izigodo ezingakanani!
tadvad rasanāpi kṣudratarāṅgaṁ santī darpavākyāni bhāṣate| paśya kīdṛṅmahāraṇyaṁ dahyate 'lpena vahninā|
6 Ulimi lalo lungumlilo, umhlaba wobubi; lunjalo ulimi lubekwe phakathi kwezitho zethu, lungcolisa umzimba wonke, luthungele indlela yempilo, njalo luthungelwa yisihogo. (Geenna g1067)
rasanāpi bhaved vahniradharmmarūpapiṣṭape| asmadaṅgeṣu rasanā tādṛśaṁ santiṣṭhati sā kṛtsnaṁ dehaṁ kalaṅkayati sṛṣṭirathasya cakraṁ prajvalayati narakānalena jvalati ca| (Geenna g1067)
7 Ngoba yonke imvelo yokubili izinyamazana lezinyoni, kokubili ezihuquzelayo lezidalwa zolwandle, iyathanjiswa njalo isithanjisiwe ngemvelo yabantu;
paśupakṣyurogajalacarāṇāṁ sarvveṣāṁ svabhāvo damayituṁ śakyate mānuṣikasvabhāvena damayāñcakre ca|
8 kodwa ulimi kakulamuntu ongaluthambisa; luyibubi obungelakunqotshwa, lugcwele ubuhlungu obubulalayo.
kintu mānavānāṁ kenāpi jihvā damayituṁ na śakyate sā na nivāryyam aniṣṭaṁ halāhalaviṣeṇa pūrṇā ca|
9 Ngalo siyabonga uNkulunkulu ngitsho uBaba, langalo siqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngesimo sikaNkulunkulu;
tayā vayaṁ pitaram īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmaḥ, tayā ceśvarasya sādṛśye sṛṣṭān mānavān śapāmaḥ|
10 emlonyeni munye kuyaphuma ukubonga lenhlamba. Lezizinto kazifanelanga, bazalwane bami, zenzeke njalo.
ekasmād vadanād dhanyavādaśāpau nirgacchataḥ| he mama bhrātaraḥ, etādṛśaṁ na karttavyaṁ|
11 Kambe umthombo emlonyeni munye ungagobhoza yini okumnandi lokubabayo?
prasravaṇaḥ kim ekasmāt chidrāt miṣṭaṁ tiktañca toyaṁ nirgamayati?
12 Kambe, bazalwane bami, umkhiwa ungathela imihlwathi yini, loba ivini umkhiwa? Ngokunjalo kakulamthombo oveza amanzi alitshwayi lamnandi.
he mama bhrātaraḥ, uḍumbarataruḥ kiṁ jitaphalāni drākṣālatā vā kim uḍumbaraphalāni phalituṁ śaknoti? tadvad ekaḥ prasravaṇo lavaṇamiṣṭe toye nirgamayituṁ na śaknoti|
13 Ngubani ohlakaniphileyo loqedisisayo phakathi kwenu? Katshengise imisebenzi yakhe ekuziphatheni kuhle ngobumnene benhlakanipho.
yuṣmākaṁ madhye jñānī subodhaśca ka āste? tasya karmmāṇi jñānamūlakamṛdutāyuktānīti sadācārāt sa pramāṇayatu|
14 Kodwa uba lilomhawu obabayo lombango enhliziyweni yenu, lingazincomi liqambele amanga iqiniso.
kintu yuṣmadantaḥkaraṇamadhye yadi tikterṣyā vivādecchā ca vidyate tarhi satyamatasya viruddhaṁ na ślāghadhvaṁ nacānṛtaṁ kathayata|
15 Lokhu kayisiyo inhlakanipho eyehla ivela phezulu, kodwa ingeyomhlaba, ngeyemvelo, eyamadimoni.
tādṛśaṁ jñānam ūrddhvād āgataṁ nahi kintu pārthivaṁ śarīri bhautikañca|
16 Ngoba lapho okukhona umhawu lombango, lapho kukhona isiphithiphithi laso sonke isenzo esibi.
yato hetorīrṣyā vivādecchā ca yatra vedyete tatraiva kalahaḥ sarvvaṁ duṣkṛtañca vidyate|
17 Kodwa inhlakanipho evela phezulu eyokuqala ihlanzekile, emva kwalokho ibe lokuthula, ibe mnene, ilalele, igcwele isihawu lezithelo ezinhle, kayilakubandlulula futhi ingelakuzenzisa.
kintūrddhvād āgataṁ yat jñānaṁ tat prathamaṁ śuci tataḥ paraṁ śāntaṁ kṣāntam āśusandheyaṁ dayādisatphalaiḥ paripūrṇam asandigdhaṁ niṣkapaṭañca bhavati|
18 Lesithelo sokulunga sihlanyelwa ekuthuleni kulabo abenza ukuthula.
śāntyācāribhiḥ śāntyā dharmmaphalaṁ ropyate|
