Izaga 14
1 Wonke owesifazana ohlakaniphileyo uyayakha indlu yakhe, kodwa oyisithutha uyayidiliza ngezandla zakhe.
Mukadzi akachenjera anovaka imba yake, asi benzi rinoputsa imba yaro namaoko aro.
2 Ohamba ngobuqotho bakhe wesaba iNkosi, kodwa ophambene ngendlela zakhe uyayidelela.
Uyo ano mufambiro wakarurama anotya Jehovha, asi uyo ano mufambiro wakatsauka anomuzvidza.
3 Emlonyeni wesithutha kulentonga yokuzigqaja, kodwa indebe zabahlakaniphileyo ziyabagcina.
Kutaura kwebenzi kunouyisa shamhu kumusana kwaro, asi miromo yavakachenjera inovadzivirira.
4 Lapho okungekho izinkabi khona umkolo uhlanzekile, kodwa kulesivuno esinengi ngamandla enkabi.
Kana pasina nzombe, chidyiro hachina chinhu, asi pasimba renzombe ndipo panobva kukohwa kukuru.
5 Umfakazi othembekileyo kaqambi amanga, kodwa umfakazi wamanga uphafuza amanga.
Chapupu chechokwadi hachinyengeri, asi chapupu chenhema chinodurura nhema.
6 Odelelayo udinga inhlakanipho, kodwa kayikho; kodwa ulwazi lulula koqedisisayo.
Mudadi anotsvaka uchenjeri asi anohushaya, asi ruzivo runouya zviri nyore kune anonzvera.
7 Suka phambi komuntu oyisithutha, nxa ungayikunanzelela kuye indebe zolwazi.
Gara kure nomunhu benzi, nokuti haungawani ruzivo kubva pamiromo yake.
8 Inhlakanipho yokhaliphileyo yikuqedisisa indlela yakhe, kodwa ubuthutha bezithutha buyinkohliso.
Uchenjeri hwomunhu akangwara ndiko kunzwisisa nzira dzake, asi upenzi hwamapenzi ndihwo unyengeri.
9 Izithutha ziyakloloda ngesono, kodwa phakathi kwabaqotho kulomusa.
Mapenzi anoseka kutendeuka pazvivi, asi kuita zvakanaka kunowanikwa pakati pavakarurama.
10 Inhliziyo iyazi ukubaba kwayo ngokwayo, lowemzini kahlanganyeli lentokozo yayo.
Mwoyo mumwe nomumwe unoziva kutambudzika kwawo, uye hapana munhu angagoverana nawo mufaro wawo.
11 Indlu yabakhohlakeleyo izachithwa, kodwa ithente labaqotho lizahluma.
Imba yeakaipa ichaparadzwa, asi tende rowakarurama richabudirira.
12 Kukhona indlela ebonakala ilungile emuntwini, kodwa ukuphela kwayo zindlela zokufa.
Kune nzira inoita seyakanaka kumunhu, asi kumagumo inotungamirira kurufu.
13 Lekuhlekeni inhliziyo isebuhlungwini, lokuphela kwaleyontokozo lusizi.
Kunyange mukuseka mwoyo unogona kurwadziwa, uye mufaro ungangoperera mukusuwa.
14 Ohlehlela nyovane ngenhliziyo uzasutha ngezindlela zakhe, kodwa umuntu olungileyo uzasutha ngaye ngokwakhe.
Vasingatendi vachapiwa mubayiro wakazara wenzira dzavo, uye munhu akanaka achapiwa mubayiro wenzira dzakewo.
15 Ongelalwazi ukholwa lonke ilizwi, kodwa olengqondo unanzelela ukuhamba kwakhe.
Munhu asina mano anongotenda zvose zvose, asi munhu akangwara anongwarira mafambiro ake.
16 Ohlakaniphileyo uyesaba, asuke ebubini, kodwa isithutha siyathukuthela, silitshapha.
Munhu akachenjera anotya Jehovha uye anovenga zvakaipa, asi benzi rina manyawi uye harina hanya.
17 Ophangisa ukuthukuthela wenza ubuthutha, lomuntu wamacebo amabi uzazondwa.
Munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoita zvinhu zvoupenzi, uye munhu anoita zvounyengeri achavengwa.
18 Abangelalwazi badla ilifa lobuthutha, kodwa abakhaliphileyo bazathwala umqhele wolwazi.
Vasina mano vachagara nhaka youpenzi, asi vakangwara vachapfekedzwa korona yezivo.
19 Ababi bakhothama phambi kwabalungileyo, labakhohlakeleyo emasangweni abalungileyo.
Vanhu vakaipa vachagwadama pamberi pavakanaka, uye vakaipa pamasuo avakarurama.
20 Umyanga uzondwa langumakhelwane wakhe, kodwa abathanda onothileyo banengi.
Varombo vanoraswa kunyange navavakidzani vavo, asi vapfumi vane shamwari zhinji.
21 Odelela umakhelwane wakhe uyona, kodwa olomusa kubayanga ubusisiwe.
Uyo anozvidza muvakidzani wake anotadza, asi akaropafadzwa ane tsitsi kune vanoshayiwa.
22 Kabaduhi yini abaceba okubi? Kodwa umusa leqiniso ngokwalabo abaceba okuhle.
Ko, vanoronga zvakaipa havarasiki here? Asi avo vanoronga zvakanaka vanowana rudo nokutendeka.
23 Kumtshikatshika wonke kulenzuzo, kodwa inkulumo yendebe ibanga inswelo kuphela.
Kushanda nesimba kwose kunopa mubayiro, asi kungotaura kunotungamirira kuurombo bedzi.
24 Umqhele wabahlakaniphileyo uyinotho yabo; ubuthutha bezithutha buyibuthutha.
Upfumi hwavakachenjera ikorona yavo, asi upenzi hwamapenzi hunobereka upenzi.
25 Umfakazi oqinisileyo uyophula imiphefumulo, kodwa ophafuza amanga ungumkhohlisi.
Chapupu chechokwadi chinoponesa upenyu, asi chapupu chenhema chinonyengera.
26 Ekuyesabeni iNkosi kulethemba eliqinileyo, labantwana bakhe bazakuba lesiphephelo.
Uyo anotya Jehovha ane nhare yakasimba, uye ichava utiziro kuvana vake.
27 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kungumthombo wempilo, ukusuka emijibileni yokufa.
Kutya Jehovha ndicho chitubu choupenyu, kunodzora munhu kubva pamisungo yorufu.
28 Lusebunengini babantu udumo lwenkosi, kodwa kusekuswelekeni kwabantu ukuchitheka kombusi.
Mukuwanda kwavanhu ndimo mune ukuru hwamambo, asi pasina vanhu muchinda anoparadzwa.
29 Ophuza ukuthukuthela ulokuqedisisa okukhulu, kodwa ophangisa ukuzonda ukhulisa ubuthutha.
Munhu ane mwoyo murefu anonzwisisa, asi munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoratidza upenzi.
30 Inhliziyo ephilileyo iyimpilo yenyama, kodwa umhawu uyikubola kwamathambo.
Mwoyo wakagadzikana unopa upenyu kumuviri, asi ruchiva runoodza mapfupa.
31 Ocindezela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe, kodwa olomusa koswelayo uyamdumisa.
Uyo anomanikidza varombo anoratidza kuti anozvidza Musiki wavo, asi ani naani ane hanya nevanoshayiwa anokudza Mwari.
32 Okhohlakeleyo uwiswa ebubini bakhe, kodwa olungileyo ulethemba ekufeni kwakhe.
Kana njodzi yauya, akaipa anowisirwa pasi, asi kunyange murufu akarurama ane utiziro.
33 Inhlakanipho ihlala enhliziyweni yoqedisisayo, kodwa okuphakathi kwezithutha kuyaziwa.
Uchenjeri hunogara mumwoyo yavanohunzvera uye kunyange pakati pamapenzi hunozvizivisa.
34 Ukulunga kuphakamisa isizwe, kodwa isono silihlazo ebantwini.
Kururama kunosimudzira rudzi, asi chivi chinonyadzisa vanhu vapi zvavo.
35 Umusa wenkosi usencekwini ehlakaniphileyo, kodwa intukuthelo yayo izakuba kwethela ihlazo.
Mambo anofarira muranda akachenjera, asi muranda anonyadzisa achatsamwirwa naye.
