Zvirevo zvaSoromoni mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, mambo weIsraeri:
2 ukwazi inhlakanipho lokulaywa, ukuqedisisa amazwi okuqedisisa,
kuti uwane uchenjeri nokurayirwa; nokunzwisisa mashoko enjere;

kuti uve noupenyu hwokuzvibata hune uchenjeri uchiita zvakarurama nokururamisira uye nokuenzanisira;
4 ukunika abangelalwazi inhlakanipho, ijaha ulwazi lengqondo.
kuti vasina mano vapiwe uchenjeri, jaya ripiwe ruzivo namano,
5 Ohlakaniphileyo uzakuzwa, andise ukufunda, loqedisisayo uzazuza izeluleko,
vakachenjera ngavanzwe uye vagowedzera pakudzidza kwavo, uye vanonzvera ngavawane kutungamirirwa,
6 ukuqedisisa isaga lomzekeliso, amazwi abahlakaniphileyo, lamalibho abo.
kuti vanzwisise zvirevo nemifananidzo, mashoko nezvirahwe zvavakachenjera.
7 Ukwesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kolwazi; izithutha ziyadelela inhlakanipho lokulaywa.
Kutya Jehovha ndiwo mavambo ezivo, asi mapenzi anoshora uchenjeri nokurayirwa.
8 Ndodana yami, zwana ukulaya kukayihlo, ungawudeli umlayo kanyoko;
Mwanakomana wangu, teerera, kurayira kwababa vako, uye usarasa kudzidzisa kwamai vako.
9 ngoba kuzakuba ngumqhele womusa ekhanda lakho, lemigaxo entanyeni yakho.
Zvichava chishongo chakanaka pamusoro wako nouketani hunoshongedza mutsipa wako.
10 Ndodana yami, uba izoni zikuhuga, ungavumi.
Mwanakomana wangu, kana vatadzi vachikukwezva, usabvuma zvavari kuda kuti uite.
11 Uba zisithi: Hamba lathi, siyecathamela igazi, sicatshele ongelacala kungelasizatho;
Kana vakati, “Handei tose; ngativandirei munhu timuuraye; ngativandirei mweya usina mhosva;
12 sibaginye bephila njengengcwaba, yebo, ngokupheleleyo, njengabehlela egodini. (Sheol )
ngativamedzei vari vapenyu, seguva, uye vakakwana kudaro savaya vanodzika mugomba; (Sheol )
13 Sizathola yonke impahla eligugu, sigcwalise izindlu zethu ngempango.
tichawana marudzi ose ezvinhu zvinokosha tigozadza dzimba dzedu nezvatichapamba;
14 Phosela inkatho yakho phakathi kwethu; sonke sibe lesikhwama semali sinye.
isa zvinhu zvako pamwe chete nesu, tigova nechikwama chimwe chete,”
15 Ndodana yami, ungahambi lazo endleleni; unqande unyawo lwakho emkhondweni wazo.
mwanakomana wangu, usabvumirana navo, usaisa rutsoka panzira dzavo;
16 Ngoba inyawo zazo zigijimela ebubini, ziphangisa ukuchitha igazi.
nokuti tsoka dzavo dzinomhanyira muchivi, vanokurumidza kundodeura ropa.
17 Isibili, imbule lendlalelwa ize phambi kwamehlo aloba yiyiphi inyoni.
Hazvibatsiri sei kutambanudza mumbure shiri dzose dzichinyatsoona!
18 Lalaba bacathamela igazi labo, bacatshele imiphefumulo yabo.
Varume ava vanovandira ropa ravo vomene; vanozvivandira ivo pachavo!
19 Zinjalo indlela zakhe wonke ozuza inzuzo ngokuphanga; ithatha impilo yabaniniyo.
Aya ndiwo magumo avaya vanotsvaka pfuma nenzira yakaipa; inouraya vaya vanoiwana.
20 UkuHlakanipha kuyamemeza ngaphandle, kukhupha ilizwi lakho emidangeni.
Uchenjeri hunodanidzira nenzwi guru mumugwagwa, hunokwidza inzwi rahwo pachivara;
21 Kuyamemeza endaweni eqakathekileyo yokuxokozela, ekungeneni kwamasango; emzini kutsho amazwi akho,
kumusoro kwemigwagwa ine ruzha hunodanidzira, pamasuo eguta hunotaura shoko rahwo huchiti:
22 kusithi: Koze kube nini, lina elingelalwazi, lithanda ukungabi lalwazi, labaklolodayo bezifisela ukukloloda, leziphukuphuku zizonda ulwazi?
“Kusvikira riniko imi vasina mano, muchingoda kugara musina mano? Kusvikira riniko vaseki vachifarira kuseka, uye mapenzi achivenga zivo?
23 Phendukelani ekukhuzeni kwami; khangelani, ngizathululela umoya wami kini, ngilazise amazwi ami.
Dai makateerera kutsiura kwangu, ndingadai ndakadurura mwoyo wangu kwamuri uye ndakazivisa pfungwa dzangu kwamuri.
24 Ngoba ngibizile, kodwa lala; ngelulile isandla sami, kodwa kakho onanzayo;
Asi sezvo makandiramba pandakakudanai uye pasina kana mumwe akateerera pandakatambanudza ruoko rwangu,
25 ladelela sonke iseluleko sami, kalivumanga ukukhuza kwami;
sezvo makashaya hanya nokurayira kwangu, uye mukasagamuchira kutsiura kwangu,
26 mina-ke ngizahleka ukuchitheka kwenu, ngiklolode ekufikeni kokwesaba kwenu,
iniwo ndichaseka panguva yenjodzi yenyu; ndichaseka dambudziko parichakusvikirai,
27 ekufikeni kokwesaba kwenu njengesiphepho, lokuchitheka kwenu kufika njengesivunguzane, lapho ubuhlungu losizi kulehlela.
dambudziko parichakukundai sedutu, njodzi paichavhuvhuta pamusoro penyu sechamupupuri, nhamo namatambudziko pazvichakukundai.
28 Khona bazangibiza, kodwa kangiyikusabela; bazangidingisisa, kodwa kabayikungithola.
“Ipapo vachadana kwandiri asi ini handingavapinduri; vachanditsvaka asi havangandiwani.
29 Ngenxa yokuthi babezonda ulwazi, bengakhethanga ukwesaba iNkosi.
Sezvo vakavenga zivo uye vakasasarudza kutya Jehovha,
30 Kabavumanga iseluleko sami, bedelela konke ukukhuza kwami.
sezvo vasina kugamuchira yambiro yangu, uye vakashora kutsiura kwangu,
31 Ngakho bazakudla okwesithelo sendlela yabo, basuthiswe ngamacebo abo.
vachadya zvibereko zvenzira dzavo uye vachazadzwa nezvibereko zvemano avo.
32 Ngoba ukuhlehla kwabangelalwazi kuzababulala, lokonwaba kweziphukuphuku kuzababhubhisa.
Nokuti kusateerera kwavasina mano kuchavaurayisa, uye kushaya hanya kwamapenzi kuchavaparadza;
33 Kodwa ongilalelayo uzahlala evikelekile, onwabe ekwesabeni okubi.
asi ani naani achanditeerera achagara murugare, uye achagara akasununguka, asingatyi kuparadzwa.”
