1 Impendulo ethambileyo ibuyisela emuva ulaka, kodwa ilizwi elilukhuni livusa intukuthelo.
Mhinduro nyoro inodzora kutsamwa, asi shoko rinorwadza rinomutsa hasha.
2 Ulimi lwabahlakaniphileyo lwenza ulwazi lube luhle, kodwa umlomo wezithutha uthulula ubuthutha.
Rurimi rwowakachenjera runobudisa zivo, asi muromo webenzi unodurura upenzi.
3 Amehlo eNkosi akuyo yonke indawo, eqaphela ababi labalungileyo.
Meso aJehovha ari pose pose, achicherechedza vakaipa navakanaka.
4 Ukusilisa kolimi kuyisihlahla sempilo, kodwa ukuphambeka kulo kuyikwephuka emoyeni.
Rurimi runouyisa kuporesa ndirwo muti woupenyu, asi rurimi runonyengera runopwanya mweya.
5 Isithutha sidelela ukulaya kukayise, kodwa onanza ukukhuzwa uhlakaniphile.
Benzi rinoramba kurayira kwababa varo, asi ani naani anogamuchira kurayirwa anoratidza kungwara.
6 Endlini yolungileyo kulenotho enengi, kodwa enzuzweni yomubi kulenkathazo.
Imba yowakarurama ine pfuma zhinji, asi zvinowanikwa nowakaipa zvinomuunzira kutambudzika.
7 Indebe zabahlakaniphileyo ziyahlakaza ulwazi, kodwa inhliziyo yezithutha kayinjalo.
Miromo yavakachenjera inokusha zivo; asi mwoyo yamapenzi haidaro.
8 Umhlatshelo wabakhohlakeleyo uyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa umkhuleko wabaqotho uyintokozo yayo.
Jehovha anovenga chibayiro chowakaipa, asi munyengetero womunhu akarurama unomufadza.
9 Indlela yokhohlakeleyo iyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa ithanda ozingela ukulunga.
Jehovha anovenga nzira yeakaipa, asi anoda vaya vanotevera kururama.
10 Ukujezisa kubi kotshiya indlela; ozonda ukukhuzwa uzakufa.
Kurangwa kwakaomarara kwakamirira uyo anotsauka kubva panzira; uyo anovenga kudzorwa achafa.
11 Isihogo lentshabalalo kuphambi kweNkosi; kakhulu kangakanani inhliziyo zabantwana babantu! (Sheol h7585)
Rufu nokuparadzwa zviri pachena pamberi paJehovha, ko, kuzoti mwoyo yavanhu! (Sheol h7585)
12 Isideleli kasithandi osikhuzayo, kasiyi kwabahlakaniphileyo.
Mudadi anovenga kudzorwa; haangabvunzi vakachenjera.
13 Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza ubuso bujabule, kodwa ngosizi lwenhliziyo umoya uyadabuka.
Mwoyo wakafara, unofadza chiso, asi mwoyo une shungu unopwanya mweya.
14 Inhliziyo yoqedisisayo idinga ulwazi, kodwa umlomo wezithutha udla ubuthutha.
Mwoyo unonzvera unotsvaka ruzivo, asi muromo webenzi unodya upenzi.
15 Zonke insuku zohluphekayo zimbi, kodwa inhliziyo ethokozayo ilidili njalonjalo.
Mazuva ose omunhu anotambudzika akaipa, asi mwoyo unofara une mutambo nguva dzose.
16 Kungcono okuncinyane kanye lokwesaba iNkosi kulenotho enengi lenkathazo kanye layo.
Zviri nani kuva nezvishoma uchitya Jehovha, pane kuva nepfuma zhinji namatambudziko.
17 Kungcono isidlo semibhida lapho okulothando khona kulenkabi enonileyo lenzondo kanye layo.
Zviri nani kuva nezvokudya zvomuriwo pane rudo, pane kuva nemhuru yakakodzwa pane ruvengo.
18 Umuntu ololaka udungula ingxabano, kodwa ophuza ukuthukuthela uzathulisa ingxabano.
Munhu ane hasha anomutsa bopoto, asi munhu ane mwoyo murefu anonyaradza kukakavara.
19 Indlela yevila injengothango lwameva, kodwa indlela yabaqotho ibuthelelwe.
Nzira yesimbe yakasoswa neminzwa, asi nzira yavakarurama mugwagwa mukuru.
20 Indodana ehlakaniphileyo ithokozisa uyise, kodwa umuntu oyisithutha weyisa unina.
Mwanakomana akachenjera anounzira baba vake mufaro, asi munhu benzi anozvidza mai vake.
21 Ubuthutha buyintokozo koswela ingqondo, kodwa umuntu oqedisisayo uyaqondisa ukuhamba kwakhe.
Upenzi hunofadza munhu anoshayiwa njere, asi munhu anonzwisisa anochengetedza nzira yakarurama.
22 Amaqhinga angelaseluleko ayachitheka, kodwa ngabeluleki abanengi ayakuma.
Urongwa hunoparara kana pasina vanopa mazano, asi vanopa mazano vakawanda hunobudirira.
23 Umuntu ulentokozo ngempendulo yomlomo wakhe; lelizwi ngesikhathi salo, lihle kangakanani.
Munhu anowana mufaro mukupa mhinduro yakanaka, uye rakanaka seiko shoko rinouya nenguva!
24 Indlela yempilo kohlakaniphileyo iya phezulu, ukuze asuke esihogweni phansi. (Sheol h7585)
Nzira youpenyu kumunhu akachenjera inokwidza kumusoro, ichimuchengetedza kuti asaenda muguva. (Sheol h7585)
25 INkosi izadiliza indlu yozigqajayo, kodwa izamisa umngcele womfelokazi.
Jehovha anoparadza imba yomunhu anozvikudza, asi agochengeta miganhu yechirikadzi yakasimba.
26 Imicabango yomubi iyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa amazwi amnandi ahlambulukile.
Jehovha anovenga pfungwa dzowakaipa, asi dzavakachena dzinomufadza.
27 Ophanga inzuzo ukhathaza indlu yakhe, kodwa ozonda izipho uzaphila.
Munhu anokara pfuma anouyisa kutambudzika kumhuri yake, asi anovenga fufuro achararama.
28 Inhliziyo yolungileyo inakana ukuphendula, kodwa umlomo wababi uthulula izinto ezimbi.
Mwoyo wokururama unoyera mhinduro dzawo, asi muromo woakaipa unodurura zvakaipa.
29 INkosi ikhatshana labakhohlakeleyo, kodwa iyezwa umkhuleko wabalungileyo.
Jehovha ari kure neakaipa, asi anonzwa munyengetero weakarurama.
30 Ukukhanya kwamehlo kuthokozisa inhliziyo, lodaba oluhle lwenza amathambo akhuluphale.
Chiso chinobwinya chinofadza mwoyo, uye mashoko akanaka anopa utano kumapfupa.
31 Indlebe elalela ukukhuzwa kwempilo izahlala phakathi kwabahlakaniphileyo.
Uyo anoteerera kutsiura kunopa upenyu achagara pakati pavakachenjera.
32 Owala ukulaywa weyisa umphefumulo wakhe, kodwa olalela ukukhuzwa uzuza ukuqedisisa.
Uyo asina hanya nokurangwa anozvizvidza iye pachake, asi ani naani anogamuchira kurayira achawana kunzwisisa.
33 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikufundiswa kwenhlakanipho, lokuthobeka kwandulela udumo.
Kutya Jehovha kunodzidzisa munhu uchenjeri, uye kuzvininipisa kunotanga, kukudzwa kwozotevera.
