Izaga 2
1 Ndodana yami, uba usemukela amazwi ami, ugcine kuwe imilayo yami,
E KUU keiki, ina e lawe oe i ka'u mau olelo, A e waiho pu me oe i ko'u kanawai;
2 ukuthi wenze indlebe yakho ilalele inhlakanipho, uthobise inhliziyo yakho ekuqedisiseni,
E haliu mai kou pepeiao i ka naauao, A e huli kou naau i ka ike;
3 yebo, uba ukhalela ukuqedisisa, ukhuphele ilizwi lakho ekuzwisiseni,
Ina paha e hea aku oe i ka ike, A e o aku kou leo i ka naauao;
4 uba ukudinga njengesiliva, ukuphenye njengezimpahla eziligugu ezifihliweyo,
Ina e imi aku oe ia ia me he kala la, A e huli hoi ia ia me he waiwai huna la;
5 khona uzaqedisisa ukuyesaba iNkosi, uthole ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu.
Alaila, e ike oe i ka makau ia Iehova, A e loaa ia oe ka ike i ke Akua.
6 Ngoba iNkosi inika inhlakanipho; ulwazi lokuqedisisa kuvela emlonyeni wayo.
No ka mea, na Iehova e haawi mai i ka naauao; Mai kona waha mai ka ike a me ka noiau.
7 Iyababekela abaqotho inhlakanipho eqotho; iyisihlangu kubo abahamba ngokuqonda,
Hoano e oia i ke ola no ka poe pono; He paku ia no ka poe hele pololei;
8 ukugcina indlela zesahlulelo; izalondoloza indlela zabangcwele bayo.
E malama i na ala o ka mea hoopono, E kiai hoi i ka aoao o kona poe haipule.
9 Khona uzaqedisisa ukulunga, lesahlulelo, lokuqonda; yonke indlela elungileyo.
Alaila, e ike oe i ka pono a me ka hoopono, A me ka pololei a me na aoao maikai a pau.
10 Lapho inhlakanipho izangena enhliziyweni yakho, lolwazi lube mnandi emphefumulweni wakho;
No ka mea, e komo ka naauao iloko o kou naau, E ono hoi ka ike i kou uhane.
11 ingqondo izakugcina, ukuqedisisa kukulondoloze;
Na ke akamai oe e malama aku, O ka noiau hoi ke kiai ia oe,
12 ukukophula endleleni embi, emuntwini okhuluma izinto eziphambeneyo;
E hoopakele ia oe mai ka aoao hewa aku, Mai ke kanaka hoi i wahahee ka olelo:
13 abatshiya indlela zobuqotho, ukuze bahambe ngendlela zobumnyama;
Haalele lakou i ka aoao pololei, I hele ai hoi ma na ala o ka pouli.
14 abathokoza ngokwenza okubi, bejabula ekuphambukeni komubi;
Olioli lakou ke hana hewa, Hauoli hoi lakou i ka ino o ka mea aia.
15 abandlela zabo ziphambene, begobile emikhondweni yabo;
O lakou ke hookekee i ko lakou hele ana, Kekee wale hoi ma ko lakou aoao:
16 ukukophula kowesifazana wemzini, kowezizwe okhohlisa ngamazwi akhe;
I hoopakeleia oe i ka wahine e, I ka wahine malihini i hoomalimali ka olelo.
17 otshiya umngane wobutsha bakhe, ekhohlwa isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wakhe;
Oia ka i haalele i ke alakai o kona wa opiopio, A hoopoina hoi i ka berita o kona Akua.
18 ngoba indlu yakhe itshonela ekufeni, lemikhondo yakhe emimoyeni efileyo.
No ka mea, e hina ana kona hale ilalo i ka make, A o kona mau ala hoi ma kahi o ka poe make.
19 Bonke abangena kuye kabayikubuya, njalo kabayikufinyelela endleleni zempilo.
O ka poe a pau e komo aku io na la, aole e hoi hou mai, Aole hoi e hiki aku lakou i ke ala o ke ola.
20 Ukuze uhambe endleleni yabalungileyo, ugcine imikhondo yamalungisa.
I hele oe ma ke ala o ka poe pono, I malama hoi oe i ka aoao o ka poe pololei.
21 Ngoba abaqotho bazahlala elizweni, labapheleleyo basale kulo;
No ka mea, e noho paa ka poe maikai ma ka aina, A e mau no malaila ka poe pololei.
22 kodwa abakhohlakeleyo bazaqunywa basuswe elizweni, labaphambekayo badatshulwe basuswe kulo.
Aka, e okiia ana ka poe hewa mailoko aku o ka aina, A e uhukiia hoi ka poe lawehala malaila aku.
