Izaga 18
1 Ozehlukanisayo udinga okuloyisekayo kwakhe; ufohlela inhlakanipho yonke.
Munhu asina ukama navamwe anongozvitsvakira zvake; anozvidza kutonga kwakanaka kwose.
2 Isithutha kasithokozi ekuqedisiseni, kodwa ukuze inhliziyo yaso iziveze.
Benzi harifariri kunzwisisa, asi rinofarira kungotaura zvarinofunga chete.
3 Lapho okhohlakeleyo esiza, kuza lokudelela, njalo kanye lenhloni, ihlazo.
Panosvika chakaipa, kuzvidzwa kunouyawo, uye kana nyadzi dzichisvika kusakudzwa kwasvikawo.
4 Amazwi omlomo womuntu angamanzi azikileyo; umthombo wenhlakanipho uyisifula esigobhozayo.
Mashoko omuromo womunhu imvura yakadzika, asi tsime rouchenjeri chitubu chinoyerera.
5 Kakulunganga ukwemukela ubuso bokhohlakeleyo, ukuphambula olungileyo kusahlulelo.
Hazvina kunaka kutsaura akaipa kana kusaruramisira asina mhosva.
6 Indebe zesithutha zingena enkanini, lomlomo waso ubiza imivimvinya.
Miromo yebenzi inoriunzira kukakavara, uye muromo wake unomukokera kurohwa.
7 Umlomo wesithutha uyintshabalalo yaso, lendebe zaso zingumjibila womphefumulo waso.
Muromo webenzi ndiwo kuparadzwa kwaro, uye miromo yaro ndiwo musungo kumweya waro.
8 Amazwi onyeyayo anjengezibondlo ezehlela kokungaphakathi kwesisu.
Mashoko amakuhwa akaita semisuva yakanakisisa; anoenda pakadzikadzika mukati momunhu.
9 Lolivila emsebenzini wakhe ungumfowabo womchithi.
Uyo ano usimbe pakubata kwake ihama youyo anoparadza.
10 Ibizo leNkosi lingumphotshongo oqinileyo; olungileyo uzagijimela kuwo amiswe phezulu evikelekile.
Zita raJehovha inhare yakasimba; vakarurama vanomhanyira kwariri vagochengetedzwa.
11 Inotho yesinothi ingumuzi waso oqinileyo, lanjengomthangala ophakemeyo ekucabangeni kwaso.
Pfuma yavapfumi ndiro guta ravo rina masvingo; vanoriona sorusvingo rurefu pakufunga kwavo.
12 Mandulo kokubhujiswa inhliziyo yomuntu iyaziphakamisa, njalo mandulo kodumo kulokuthobeka.
Kuparadzwa kusati kwasvika, mwoyo womunhu unozvikudza, asi kuzvininipisa kunotangira kukudzwa.
13 Ophendula indaba engakezwa, kuyibuwula kuye, lehlazo.
Uyo anopindura asati anzwa, ndihwo upenzi hwake nokunyadziswa kwake.
14 Umoya womuntu uzasekela ukugula kwakhe, kodwa umoya owephukileyo, ngubani ongawuthwala?
Mweya womunhu unomusimbisa panguva yokurwara, asi mweya wakapwanyika ndiani angautakura?
15 Inhliziyo yoqedisisayo izuza ulwazi, lendlebe yabahlakaniphileyo idinga ulwazi.
Mwoyo woune njere unowana ruzivo, nzeve dzowakachenjera dzinorutsvaka.
16 Isipho somuntu siyamvulela ngokubanzi, simkhokhelela phambi kwabakhulu.
Chipo chinozarurira nzira kune achipa, uye chinomusvitsa pamberi pavakuru.
17 Ongowokuqala ecaleni lakhe ubonakala elungile, kodwa umakhelwane wakhe ufika amhlole.
Anotanga kusvitsa nyaya yake anoita seakanaka, kusvikira mumwe auya mberi kuzomubvunza.
18 Inkatho iqeda izingxabano, yehlukanise phakathi kwabalamandla.
Kukanda mijenya kunopedza gakava, uye kunotonga pakati pavaviri vanopikisana zvikuru.
19 Umzalwane owoniweyo wedlula umuzi oqinileyo, lengxabano zinjengomgoqo wenqaba.
Hama yatadzirwa yakavangarara kupfuura guta rakakomberedzwa namasvingo, uye kukakavara kwakafanana namazariro amasuo omuzinda wamambo.
20 Isisu somuntu siyasuthiswa yizithelo zomlomo wakhe, uzasuthiswa yinzuzo yendebe zakhe.
Kubva pazvibereko zvomuromo wake dumbu romunhu rinogutiswa; nezvinobva pamiromo yake achagutiswa.
21 Ukufa lempilo kusesandleni solimi; labaluthandayo bazakudla isithelo salo.
Rurimi rune simba roupenyu norufu, uye vaya vanoruda vachadya chibereko charwo.
22 Othole umfazi uthole okuhle, uzuze umusa eNkosini.
Uyo anowana mudzimai anowana chinhu chakanaka, uye anogamuchira nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha.
23 Umyanga uyakhuluma ngokuncenga, kodwa isinothi siphendula izinto ezilukhuni.
Murombo anokumbira kuitirwa tsitsi, asi mupfumi anopindura nehasha.
24 Umuntu wabangane abanengi uzachitheka, kodwa kulomngane onamathela kuleselamani.
Munhu ane shamwari dzakawanda angangoparadzwa, asi kune shamwari inonamatira kupfuura hama.
