Izaga 29
1 Umuntu othi ekhuzwa kanengi aqinise intamo, uzahle ephulwe, njalo kungabi lakusiliswa.
Munhu anoramba akaomesa mutsipa wake mushure mokutsiurwa kazhinji achaparadzwa nokukurumidza, kusina chingamubatsira.
2 Lapho abalungileyo besanda, abantu bayathokoza, kodwa lapho okhohlakeleyo ebusa, abantu bayabubula.
Kana vakarurama vachiwanda, vanhu vanofara; asi kana vakaipa vachitonga, vanhu vanogomera.
3 Umuntu othanda inhlakanipho uthokozisa uyise, kodwa ohlanganyela lamawule uchitha inotho.
Munhu anoda uchenjeri anouyisa mufaro kuna baba vake, asi anoshamwaridzana nechifeve anoparadza pfuma yake.
4 Inkosi iqinisa ilizwe ngesahlulelo, kodwa umuntu wezipho uyalichitha.
Nokururamisira mambo anosimbisa nyika, asi uyo anokara fufuro anoiparadza.
5 Umuntu olalisa ngolimi umakhelwane wakhe wendlalela izinyawo zakhe imbule.
Ani naani anonyengera muvakidzani wake anodzikira tsoka dzake mumbure.
6 Esiphambekweni somuntu omubi kulomjibila, kodwa olungileyo uyamemeza ngenjabulo ethokoza.
Munhu akaipa anoteyiwa nezvivi zvake, asi munhu akarurama anogona kuimba uye agofara.
7 Olungileyo uyalwazi udaba lwabayanga; okhohlakeleyo kananzeleli ulwazi.
Vakarurama vane hanya nokururamisirwa kwavarombo, asi vakaipa havana hanya naizvozvo.
8 Abantu abadelelayo bayawuthungela umuzi, kodwa abahlakaniphileyo badedisa ulaka.
Vatuki vanomutsa bope muguta, asi vanhu vakachenjera vanodzora kutsamwa.
9 Umuntu ohlakaniphileyo emangalelana lomuntu oyisithutha, loba elolaka, loba ehleka, kakulakuthula.
Kana munhu akachenjera akaenda kumatare nebenzi, benzi rinotsamwa uye rigotuka, zvokuti hapangavi norugare.
10 Abantu abomele igazi bazonda opheleleyo, kodwa abaqotho badinga umphefumulo wakhe.
Vanhu vanofarira kudeura ropa vanovenga munhu akarurama, uye vanotsvaka kuuraya vakarurama.
11 Isithutha sikhupha umoya waso wonke, kodwa ohlakaniphileyo uyawuthiba.
Benzi rinobudisa hasha dzaro dzose, asi munhu akachenjera anozvibata.
12 Umbusi olalela amazwi amanga, zonke izinceku zakhe zikhohlakele.
Kana mutongi akateerera nhema machinda ake ose achava akaipa.
13 Umyanga lomuntu wencindezelo bayahlangana; iNkosi ikhanyisa amehlo abo bobabili.
Murombo nomunhu anomanikidza vakafanana pachinhu ichi: Jehovha ndiye anoita kuti meso avo vose aone.
14 Inkosi eyahlulela abayanga ngothembeko, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi sizamiswa phakade.
Kana mambo akatonga varombo nokururamisira, chigaro chake choushe chinogara chakachengetedzeka nguva dzose.
15 Uswazi lokukhuza kunika inhlakanipho, kodwa umntwana oyekelelwayo uthelela unina inhloni.
Shamhu yokuranga inopa uchenjeri, asi mwana anosiyiwa akadaro achanyadzisa mai vake.
16 Lapho abakhohlakeleyo besanda, isiphambeko siyanda, kodwa abalungileyo bazabona ukuwa kwabo.
Kana vakaipa vachiwanda, nezvivi zvinowandawo, asi vakarurama vachaona kuwa kwavo.
17 Laya indodana yakho, izakuphumuza; yebo, izanika izinjabulo emphefumulweni wakho.
Ranga mwanakomana wako, ipapo achakupa rugare; achauyisa mufaro kumweya wako.
18 Lapho okungelambono khona, abantu babengabambeki; kodwa ubusisiwe ogcina umlayo.
Pasina chizaruro, vanhu vanoramba kuzvidzora; asi akaropafadzwa uyo anochengeta murayiro.
19 Inceku kayilaywa ngamazwi; lanxa iqedisisa, kayiyikuphendula.
Muranda haarayirwi namashoko zvawo chete, nokuti kunyange achinzwisisa, haangadaviri.
20 Uyambona yini umuntu ophangisa ngamazwi akhe? Kulethemba elingcono esithutheni kulaye.
Unoona here munhu anotaura achikurumidza? Benzi rine tariro zhinji kupfuura iye.
21 Ototoza inceku yakhe kusukela ebuntwaneni, ekucineni izakuba yindodana kuye.
Kana munhu akaregerera muranda wake kubva paudiki, achazotarisira kodzero dzomwanakomana pakupedzisira.
22 Umuntu ololaka ubanga ukuxabana, lomuntu ovutha intukuthelo wandisa isiphambeko.
Munhu akashatirwa anomutsa kupesana, uye munhu ane hasha anoita zvivi zvizhinji.
23 Ukuzigqaja komuntu kuzamehlisa, kodwa olomoya othobekileyo uzabamba udumo.
Kuzvikudza kwomunhu kunomudzikisira pasi, asi munhu ane mweya wokuzvininipisa achawana kukudzwa.
24 Owabelana lesela uzonda umphefumulo wakhe; uzwa isiqalekiso, angakhulumi.
Anoshamwaridzana nembavha anozvivenga iye pachake; anoiswa pasi pemhiko, asi haangakwanisi kupa uchapupu.
25 Ukwesaba abantu kuletha umjibila, kodwa othemba eNkosini uzabekwa phezulu evikelekile.
Kutya munhu kuchava musungo, asi ani naani anovimba naJehovha achagara akachengetedzeka.
26 Abanengi badinga ubuso bombusi, kodwa isahlulelo salowo lalowo sivela eNkosini.
Vazhinji vanotsvaka nyasha kumutongi, asi kururamisirwa kwomunhu kunobva kuna Jehovha.
27 Umuntu ongalunganga uyisinengiso kwabalungileyo, kodwa oqotho endleleni uyisinengiso kokhohlakeleyo.
Vakarurama vanovenga vasina kutendeka; vakaipa vanovenga vakarurama.
