Izaga 17
1 Ucezu olomileyo lokuthula kanye lalo lungcono kulendlu egcwele imihlatshelo lengxabano.
Zviri nani kuva nechimedu chakaoma chechingwa uine rugare norunyararo pane imba izere namabiko, ine kupesana.
2 Inceku ehlakaniphileyo izabusa phezu kwendodana eyangisayo, yehlukanise ilifa phakathi kwezelamani.
Muranda akachenjera achatonga mwanakomana anonyadzisa, uye achagoverwa nhaka somumwe wehama.
3 Imbiza yokuncibilikisa ngeyesiliva, lesithando ngesegolide, kodwa iNkosi ihlola izinhliziyo.
Hari ndeyokunyautsira sirivha uye choto ndechokunatsa goridhe, asi Jehovha ndiye anoedza mwoyo.
4 Umenzi wobubi ulalela indebe ekhohlakeleyo; umqambimanga ubeka indlebe olimini oluchithayo.
Munhu akaipa anoteerera miromo yakaipa; murevi wenhema anorerekera nzeve yake kururimi runoparadza.
5 Oklolodela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe; othokoza encithakalweni kayikuba msulwa.
Uyo anoseka varombo anozvidza Musiki wavo, ani naani anofarira njodzi dzavamwe haangaregi kurangwa.
6 Abantwana babantwana bangumqhele wabadala, lodumo lwabantwana ngoyise.
Vana vevana ikorona kune vakwegura, uye vabereki ndivo kukudzwa kwavana vavo.
7 Indebe elobungcwethi kayisifanelanga isithutha; kakhulu kangakanani indebe yamanga isiphathamandla.
Kutaura kuna manyawi hakuna kufanira benzi, zvikuru sei kutaura nhema kwomubati!
8 Isipho siyilitshe eliligugu emehlweni abaniniso; loba ngaphi esiphendukela khona sizaphumelela.
Fufuro inofadza uyo anoipa; kwose kwose kwaanoenda, anobudirira.
9 Osibekela isiphambeko udinga uthando, kodwa ophindaphinda udaba wehlukanisa umngane oseduze.
Uyo anofukidzira kudarika kwomumwe anotsvaka rudo, asi ani naani anomutsazve mhaka anoparadzanisa shamwari dzepedyo.
10 Ukukhuza kuyajula koqedisisayo kulokutshaya isithutha ngokulikhulu.
Kutsiurwa kunofadza munhu ane njere kupfuura kurohwa kwebenzi kazana.
11 Omubi udinga ububi kuphela, kodwa isithunywa esilesihluku sizathunyelwa kuye.
Munhu akaipa anongotsvaka kumukira chete; nhume isina tsitsi ichatumirwa kundomurwisa.
12 Kakuthi ibhere elifelwe yimidlwane lihlangane lomuntu, kodwa hatshi isithutha ebuthutheni baso.
Zviri nani kusangana nechikara chatorerwa vana vacho pane benzi muupenzi hwaro.
13 Ophindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle, ububi kabuyikusuka endlini yakhe.
Kana munhu akaripira zvakanaka nezvakaipa zvakaipa hazvizombobvi paimba yake.
14 Ukuqala kwenkani kunjengokuvulela amanzi; ngakho yekela ingxabano ingakazivezi.
Kuvamba kwokukakavara kwakafanana nokudziurira mvura yedhamu; saka rega nharo kurwa kusati kwatanga.
15 Olungisisa omubi lolahla olungileyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, ngitsho bobabili.
Kupembedza ane mhosva nokupomera asina mhaka, Jehovha anozvivenga zvose.
16 Kungani kulemali yokuthenga inhlakanipho esandleni sesithutha, lokhu singelangqondo?
Ine basa reiko mari kana iri muruoko rwebenzi, sezvo risina chishuvo chokuwana uchenjeri?
17 Umngane uyathanda ngaso sonke isikhathi, lomzalwane uzalelwa inhlupheko.
Shamwari inoda panguva dzose, uye hama yakaberekerwa kupikisana.
18 Umuntu oswela ingqondo uyabambana ngezandla ukuba yisibambiso phambi kukamakhelwane wakhe.
Munhu anoshayiwa njere ndiye anombunda noruoko rwake pamhiko, uye anoitira muvakidzani wake rubatso.
19 Othanda isiphambeko uthanda inkani; ophakamisa umnyango wakhe udinga ukubhujiswa.
Uyo anoda zvokukakavara anoda chivi; uyo anovaka suo refu anotsvaka kuparadzwa.
20 Olenhliziyo ephambeneyo katholi okuhle, lophambene ngolimi uwela ebubini.
Munhu ane mwoyo wakaipa haabudiriri; uyo ane rurimi runonyengera achawira mudambudziko.
21 Ozala isithutha, sizakuba lusizi kuye; loyise wesithutha kathokozi.
Kuva nomwanakomana benzi kunouyisa kurwadziwa; baba vebenzi havana mufaro.
22 Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza kuhle njengomuthi, kodwa umoya owephukileyo womisa amathambo.
Mwoyo wakafara mushonga wakanaka, asi mweya wakaputsika unoomesa mapfupa.
23 Omubi uthatha isipho esifubeni ukuphambula izindlela zesahlulelo.
Munhu akaipa anogamuchira fufuro muchivande, kuti aminamise nzira dzokururamisira.
24 Inhlakanipho iphambi koqedisisayo, kodwa amehlo esithutha asekucineni komhlaba.
Munhu ane njere anoisa uchenjeri pamberi, asi meso ebenzi anosvika kumagumo enyika.
25 Indodana eyisiwula ilusizi kuyise, iyikubaba kowayizalayo.
Mwanakomana benzi anorwadzisa baba vake, uye anoitisa shungu uyo akamubereka.
26 Ukuhlawulisa olungileyo lakho kakulunganga, lokutshaya iziphathamandla ngenxa yobuqotho.
Hazvina kunaka kuranga munhu asina mhosva, kana kurova machinda nokuda kwokururama kwavo.
27 Owazi ulwazi ugodla amazwi akhe; umuntu oqedisisayo ulomoya opholileyo.
Munhu ano ruzivo anoshandisa mashoko achizvidzora, uye munhu anonzwisisa akadzikama.
28 Isithutha esithuleyo laso sithiwa sihlakaniphile; ovala indebe zakhe uthiwa uyaqedisisa.
Kunyange benzi, kana rakanyarara, rinonzi rakachenjera, uye rikabata muromo waro rinonzi rakangwara.
