Izaga 11
1 Isikali esikhohlisayo siyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa ilitshe lokulinganisa elipheleleyo liyintokozo yayo.
Scales of deceit [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh and a weight perfect [is] pleasure his.
2 Nxa kufika ukuzigqaja, kufika lehlazo; kodwa kwabathobekileyo kukhona inhlakanipho.
It comes pride and it came shame and [is] with modest [people] wisdom.
3 Ubuqotho babaqotho buzabaqondisa, kodwa ukuphambeka kwabaphambekayo kuzababhubhisa.
[the] integrity of Upright [people] it guides them and [the] crookedness of treacherous [people] (it destroys them. *Q(K)*)
4 Inotho kayisizi ngosuku lolaka, kodwa ukulunga kophula ekufeni.
Not it profits wealth in [the] day of fury and righteousness it delivers from death.
5 Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuzaqondisa indlela yakhe, kodwa okhohlakeleyo uzakuwa ngenkohlakalo yakhe.
[the] righteousness of A blameless [person] it makes straight way his and by wickedness his he falls a wicked [person].
6 Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuzabophula, kodwa abaphambukayo bazathunjwa zinkanuko zabo.
[the] righteousness of Upright [people] it delivers them and by [the] craving of treacherous [people] they are caught.
7 Nxa umuntu okhohlakeleyo esifa, ithemba lakhe lizabhubha, lethemba lolamandla liyabhubha.
At [the] death of a person wicked it is lost hope and [the] hope of strength it perishes.
8 Olungileyo ukhululwa ekuhluphekeni, kodwa omubi ungena endaweni yakhe.
A righteous [person] from distress [is] delivered and he came a wicked [person] in place his.
9 Ngomlomo umzenzisi uchitha umakhelwane wakhe, kodwa ngolwazi abalungileyo bayakhululwa.
By [the] mouth a godless [person] he ruins neighbor his and by knowledge righteous [people] they are delivered.
10 Ngempumelelo yabalungileyo umuzi uyathokoza; lekubhubheni kwabakhohlakeleyo kulenjabulo.
In [the] prosperity of righteous [people] it rejoices a town and when perish wicked [people] a shout of joy.
11 Ngesibusiso sabaqotho umuzi uyaphakanyiswa, kodwa ngomlomo wabakhohlakeleyo uyachitheka.
By [the] blessing of upright [people] it is exalted a town and by [the] mouth of wicked [people] it is torn down.
12 Oswela ingqondo udelela umakhelwane, kodwa umuntu oqedisisayo uyazithulela.
[one who] despises Neighbor his [is] lacking of heart and a person of understanding he keeps quiet.
13 Ohamba enyeya wembula imfihlakalo, kodwa othembekileyo ngomoya ufihla udaba.
[one who] goes about A slanderer [is] revealing a secret and a [person] faithful of spirit [is] concealing a matter.
14 Lapho kungekho izeluleko abantu bayawa; kodwa ukukhululwa kusebunengini babeluleki.
When there not [are] wise directions it falls a people and victory [is] in a multitude of counselor[s].
15 Oba yisibambiso sowezizwe uzahlupheka ngokubi; kodwa ozonda ukutshaya izandla uvikelekile.
Harm he is harmed for he stood surety for a stranger and [one who] hates those striking hands [is] secure.
16 Owesifazana olomusa ubamba udumo, labalamandla babamba inotho.
A woman of grace she lays hold of honor and ruthless [people] they take hold of wealth.
17 Umuntu olomusa wenzela umphefumulo wakhe okuhle, kodwa olesihluku ukhathaza inyama yakhe.
[is] dealing bountifully with Self his a person of loyalty and [is] troubling body his a cruel [person].
18 Okhohlakeleyo wenza umsebenzi wenkohliso, kodwa ohlanyela ukulunga ulomvuzo weqiniso.
A wicked [person] [is] making wage[s] of falsehood and [one who] sows righteousness wage[s] of truth.
19 Njengoba ukulunga kungokwempilo, kunjalo ozingela okubi kungokokufa kwakhe.
True righteousness [is] to life and [one who] pursues evil [is] to own death his.
20 Abaphambeneyo ngenhliziyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa abaqotho ngendlela bayintokozo yayo.
[are] [the] abomination of Yahweh perverse [people] of heart and [are] pleasure his [people] blameless of way.
21 Isandla esandleni omubi kayikuyekelwa ukujeziswa, kodwa inzalo yabalungileyo izaphepha.
Hand to hand not he will go unpunished an evil [person] and [the] offspring of righteous [people] he will be delivered.
22 Ulisongo legolide empumulweni yengulube owesifazana obukekayo ophambuka engqondweni.
A ring of gold in [the] nose of a pig a woman beautiful and [who] turns aside from discernment.
23 Isifiso sabalungileyo singokuhle kuphela; ithemba labakhohlakeleyo lulaka.
[the] desire of Righteous [people] only [is] good [the] hope of wicked [people] [is] fury.
24 Kukhona ohlakazayo, kube kanti okunengi kuyengezwa; logodla okwedlula okufaneleyo, kodwa kungokokuswela.
There [is one who] scatters and [who is] increased still and [one who] withholds from uprightness only to poverty.
25 Umphefumulo obusisayo uzakhuluphaliswa, lothelelayo uzathelelwa laye.
A person of blessing he will be made fat and [one who] gives water also he he will be given water.
26 Ogodla amabele, abantu bazamqalekisa; kodwa isibusiso sizakuba phezu kwekhanda lothengisayo.
[one who] withholds Grain they curse him a people and a blessing [belongs] to [the] head of [one who] sells grain.
27 Odingisisa okuhle, udinga umusa; kodwa odinga okubi, kuzakuza kuye.
[one who] seeks diligently Good he seeks favor and [one who] seeks carefully evil it will come to him.
28 Othemba inotho yakhe yena uzakuwa, kodwa abalungileyo bazahluma njengamahlamvu.
[one who] trusts In wealth his he he will fall and like leaf righteous [people] they will bud.
29 Oletha inkathazo emzini wakhe uzakudla ilifa lomoya, lesithutha sizakuba yinceku yohlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo.
[one who] troubles Household his he will inherit wind and [will be] a servant a fool of [the] wise of heart.
30 Isithelo solungileyo siyisihlahla sempilo, lozuza imiphefumulo uhlakaniphile.
[the] fruit of [the] righteous [is] a tree of Life and [one who] takes people [is] wise.
31 Khangela, olungileyo uzavuzwa emhlabeni; kakhulu kangakanani omubi lesoni!
There! a righteous [person] on the earth he is rewarded indeed? for a wicked [person] and a sinner.
