Izaga 12
1 Othanda ukulaywa uthanda ulwazi; kodwa ozonda ukukhuzwa uyisithutha.
Ani naani anofarira kuzvirovedza anoda zivo, asi uyo anovenga kudzorwa ibenzi.
2 Olungileyo uzuza umusa eNkosini, kodwa umuntu wamacebo amabi iyamlahla.
Munhu akanaka anowana nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha, asi Jehovha anotuka munhu ane mano akaipa.
3 Umuntu kayikumiswa yibubi, kodwa impande yabalungileyo kayiyikunyikinywa.
Munhu haangasimbiswi nezvakaipa, asi mudzi womunhu akarurama haungadzurwi.
4 Umfazi okhuthalela okulungileyo ungumqhele wendoda yakhe, kodwa oyangisayo unjengokubola emathanjeni ayo.
Mudzimai ane unhu hwakanaka ikorona kumurume wake, asi mudzimai anonyadzisa akafanana nokuora mumapfupa omurume wake.
5 Imicabango yabalungileyo ilungile; izeluleko zababi ziyinkohliso.
Urongwa hwomunhu akarurama hwakarurama, asi kurayira kwavakaipa kunonyengera.
6 Amazwi abakhohlakeleyo ngawokucathamela igazi, kodwa umlomo wabaqotho uzabophula.
Mashoko owakaipa anovandira ropa, asi kutaura kwavakarurama kunovanunura.
7 Abakhohlakeleyo bayachithwa, bangabe besaba khona; kodwa indlu yabalungileyo izakuma.
Vanhu vakaipa vanobviswa pachigaro uye havazovapozve, asi imba yowakarurama icharamba yakasimba.
8 Umuntu uzadunyiswa ngokwenhlakanipho yakhe, kodwa ophambeke ngenhliziyo uzakuba ngowokudelelwa.
Munhu anorumbidzwa maererano nouchenjeri hwake, asi vanhu vane pfungwa dzakatsauka vanozvidzwa.
9 Odelelekayo elesisebenzi ungcono kulozihloniphayo aswele ukudla.
Zviri nani kuva munhu anoninipiswa asi iwe une muranda, pane kuzviita munhu wapamusoro iwe usina zvokudya.
10 Olungileyo unanzelela impilo yesifuyo sakhe, kodwa izihawu zabakhohlakeleyo ziyilunya.
Munhu akarurama ane hanya nechipfuwo chake, asi zviito zvakanaka zvowakaipa utsinye.
11 Olima insimu yakhe uzasutha ngokudla, kodwa ozingela izinto eziyize uswela ingqondo.
Uyo anoshanda mumunda wake achava nezvokudya zvakawanda, asi uyo anongotevera zvisina maturo anoshayiwa zivo.
12 Okhohlakeleyo ufisa impango yababi, kodwa impande yabalungileyo iyahluma.
Vakaipa vanopanga zvakapambwa zvavanhu vakaipa, asi mudzi woakarurama unobereka zvibereko.
13 Ekuphambekeni kwendebe kulomjibila womubi, kodwa olungileyo uzaphuma enkathazweni.
Munhu akaipa anobatwa nokutaura kwake kwakaipa, asi munhu akarurama anopunyuka padambudziko.
14 Umuntu uzasutha ngokulungileyo ngesithelo somlomo, lomvuzo wezandla zomuntu uzabuyiselwa kuye.
Kubva pazvibereko zvemiromo yake munhu anozadzwa nezvinhu zvakanaka, zvirokwazvo sokupiwa mubayiro kwaanoitwa nebasa ramaoko ake.
15 Indlela yesithutha ilungile emehlweni aso, kodwa olalela iseluleko uhlakaniphile.
Nzira yebenzi inoita seyakanaka kwaari, asi munhu akachenjera anoteerera kurayira.
16 Isithutha, intukuthelo yaso yaziwa ngosuku; kodwa ohlakaniphileyo ufihla ihlazo.
Benzi rinoratidza kutsamwa pakarepo, asi munhu akachenjera anoshayira hanya kutukwa.
17 Ophefumula iqiniso wazisa ukulunga, kodwa umfakazi wamanga inkohliso.
Chapupu chezvokwadi chinopa uchapupu hwezvokwadi, asi chapupu chenhema chinoreva nhema.
18 Kukhona ophahluka njengokuhlaba kwenkemba, kodwa ulimi lwezihlakaniphi luyikusilisa.
Mashoko anotaurwa nokusarangarira anobaya somunondo, asi rurimi rwomunhu akachenjera runoporesa.
19 Indebe yeqiniso izamiswa phakade, kodwa ulimi lwamanga lungolomzuzu nje.
Miromo yezvokwadi ichasimbiswa nokusingaperi, asi rurimi runoreva nhema runogara kwechinguva chiduku.
20 Inkohliso isenhliziyweni yabaceba okubi, kodwa abeluleki bokuthula balentokozo.
Mune kunyengera mumwoyo yaavo vanoronga zvakaipa, asi rufaro rwuri kune avo vanokurudzira rugare.
21 Lokukodwa okubi kakuyikubehlela abalungileyo, kodwa abakhohlakeleyo bagcwele ububi.
Akarurama haangatongowirwi nezvakaipa, asi vakaipa vachava namatambudziko akavafanira.
22 Indebe zamanga ziyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa abenza iqiniso bayintokozo yayo.
Jehovha anovenga miromo inotaura nhema, asi anofadzwa navanhu vanotaura chokwadi.
23 Umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ufihla ulwazi, kodwa inhliziyo yezithutha imemezela ubuthutha.
Munhu akachenjera anovanza zivo yake, asi mwoyo yamapenzi inotaura zvoupenzi.
24 Isandla sabakhutheleyo sizabusa, kodwa amavila azakuba yizibhalwa.
Maoko anoshingaira achatonga, asi usimbe hunopedzisira mukushanda somuranda.
25 Ukukhathazeka enhliziyweni yomuntu kuyayithobisa, kodwa ilizwi elihle liyayithokozisa.
Mwoyo unopunyaira unoremedza munhu, asi shoko nyoro rinomufadza.
26 Olungileyo ungumholi kamakhelwane wakhe, kodwa indlela yabakhohlakeleyo iyabaduhisa.
Munhu akarurama anochenjerera ushamwari, asi nzira yavakaipa inovatungamirira mukurasika.
27 Olivila kayikosa inyamazana yakhe ayizingeleyo, kodwa impahla yomuntu okhutheleyo iligugu.
Munhu ane usimbe haagochi mhuka yaabata, asi munhu anoshingaira anokoshesa pfuma yake.
28 Endleleni yokulunga kulempilo, lendleleni yomkhondo kakulakufa.
Munzira yokururama mune upenyu; kwainoenda hakuna rufu.
