Izaga 3
1 Ndodana yami, ungakhohlwa umlayo wami, kodwa inhliziyo yakho kayigcine imilayo yami.
Mwanakomana wangu, usakanganwa kudzidzisa kwangu, asi uchengete mirayiro yangu mumwoyo mako,
2 Ngoba yengezelela kuwe ubude bezinsuku leminyaka yempilo lokuthula.
nokuti zvichawedzera makore mazhinji kuupenyu hwako, uye nokubudirira.
3 Umusa lothembeko kakungakutshiyi, kubophele entanyeni yakho, ukubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
Rudo nokutendeka ngazvirege kukusiya; uzvisungirire pamutsipa wako, zvinyore pahwendefa romwoyo wako.
4 Ngalokho uzathola umusa lokuqedisisa okuhle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu labantu.
Ipapo uchawana nyasha nezita rakanaka pamberi paMwari navanhu.
5 Themba eNkosini ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungeyami ekuqedisiseni kwakho.
Vimba naJehovha nomwoyo wako wose urege kuzendamira panjere dzako;
6 Ivume endleleni zakho zonke, yona-ke izaqondisa imikhondo yakho.
munzira dzako dzose umutungamidze, uye acharuramisa nzira dzako.
7 Ungabi ngohlakaniphileyo emehlweni akho; yesabe iNkosi, usuke ebubini.
Usazviita munhu akachenjera pamaonero ako; itya Jehovha uvenge zvakaipa.
8 Kuzakuba yikwelatshwa kwenkaba yakho, lokunathwayo kwamathambo akho.
Izvi zvichava utano pamuviri wako uye nokusimbiswa kwamapfupa ako.
9 Hlonipha iNkosi ngemfuyo yakho, langezithelo zakho zokuqala zesivuno sakho sonke.
Kudza Jehovha nepfuma yako, zvokutanga zvezvirimwa zvako;
10 Khona iziphala zakho zizagcwaliswa ngenala, lezikhamelo zakho zewayini ziphuphume iwayini elitsha.
ipapo matura ako achazadzwa kusvikira pakufashukira, uye makate ako achazara kusvika pamusoro newaini itsva.
11 Ndodana yami, ungadeleli ukulaya kweNkosi, unganengwa yikukhuza kwayo.
Mwanakomana wangu, usazvidza kuranga kwaJehovha, uye usatsamwira kutsiura kwake,
12 Ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya emthandayo, yebo, njengoyise indodana athokoza ngayo.
nokuti Jehovha anoranga avo vaanoda, sababa nomwanakomana wavanofarira.
13 Ubusisiwe umuntu othola inhlakanipho, lomuntu ozuza ukuqedisisa.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anowana uchenjeri, munhu anowana kunzwisisa,
14 Ngoba inzuzo yakho ingcono kulenzuzo yesiliva, lokutholakalayo kwakho kulegolide.
nokuti hwakanyanya kunaka kupfuura sirivha, uye hunopfumisa kupfuura goridhe.
15 Kuligugu elidlula amatshe aligugu, lakho konke ongakufisa kakulinganiswa lakho.
Hunokosha kupfuura marubhi; zvose zvaunoshuva hazvingafananidzwi nahwo.
16 Ubude bezinsuku busesandleni sakho sokunene, kwesokhohlo sakho inotho lodumo.
Mazuva mazhinji oupenyu ari muruoko rwahwo rworudyi; muruboshwe rwahwo mune upfumi nokukudzwa.
17 Izindlela zakho zizindlela zentokozo, lemikhondo yakho yonke iyikuthula.
Nzira dzahwo dzinofadza, uye makwara ahwo ose rugare.
18 Kuyisihlahla sempilo kwabakubambayo, lobambelela kukho ubusisiwe.
Ndihwo muti woupenyu kuna vose vanohumbundikira; vose vanohubata vacharopafadzwa.
19 Ngenhlakanipho iNkosi yasekela umhlaba; yamisa amazulu ngokuqedisisa.
Nouchenjeri Jehovha akateya nheyo dzenyika, nokunzwisisa akaisa matenga munzvimbo dzawo;
20 Ngolwazi lwayo izinziki zaqhekezwa, lamayezi athonta amazolo.
noruzivo rwake mvura dzakadzika dzakapatsanurwa, uye makore akadonhedza dova.
21 Ndodana yami, kakungasuki emehlweni akho; gcina inhlakanipho eqotho lengqondo.
Mwanakomana wangu, chengetedza kutonga kwakanaka nokungwara, usazvirega zvichibva pameso ako;
22 Njalo kuzakuba yimpilo yomphefumulo wakho, lesisa entanyeni yakho.
zvichava upenyu kwauri, chishongo chakanaka pamutsipa wako.
23 Khona uzahamba indlela yakho uvikelekile, lonyawo lwakho kaluyikukhubeka.
Ipapo uchafamba panzira yako murugare, uye rutsoka rwako harungagumburwi;
24 Nxa ulala phansi, kawuyikwesaba, yebo, uzalala, lobuthongo bakho buzakuba mnandi.
paunovata pasi, haungatyi; paunovata pasi, hope dzako dzichava dzakanaka.
25 Ungesabi uvalo olujumayo, kumbe ukuchitheka kwababi nxa kufika.
Usatya zvako dambudziko rinovhundutsa kana kuparadza kunokunda vakaipa,
26 Ngoba iNkosi izakuba sethembeni lakho, igcine unyawo lwakho ukuze lungabanjwa.
nokuti Jehovha achava chivimbo chako uye achachengeta rutsoka rwako kuti rurege kubatwa.
27 Ungagodleli umninikho okuhle nxa kusemandleni esandla sakho ukukwenza.
Usarega kuitira zvakanaka kuno uyo akafanirwa nazvo, kana zviri musimba rako kuzviita.
28 Ungathi kumakhelwane wakho: Hamba, ubuye, kusasa ngizakunika; nxa ulakho.
Usati kumuvakidzani wako, “Ugodzoka imwe nguva; ndichazokupa mangwana,” iwe uchitova nazvo pauri.
29 Ungacebi okubi ngomakhelwane wakho, ngoba yena uhlala lawe evikelekile.
Usaronga kuitira muvakidzani wako zvakaipa, anogara nechivimbo pedyo newe.
30 Ungaphikisani lomuntu kungelasizatho, nxa engakonanga.
Usapomera munhu mhosva pasina chikonzero, iye asina zvaakutadzira.
31 Ungahawukeli umuntu olobudlwangudlwangu; ungakhethi leyodwa yezindlela zakhe.
Usachiva munhu anoita zvinhu nechisimba, kana kusarudza ipi zvayo yenzira dzake,
32 Ngoba ophambeneyo uyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa imfihlo yayo ikwabaqotho.
nokuti Jehovha anovenga munhu akatsauka, asi anoudza akarurama zvaanoda kuita.
33 Isiqalekiso seNkosi sisendlini yomubi, kodwa iyawubusisa umuzi wabalungileyo.
Kutuka kwaJehovha kuri paimba yeakaipa, asi anoropafadza musha womunhu akarurama.
34 Isibili, yona iyabeyisa abeyisayo, kodwa inika umusa kwabathobekileyo.
Anoseka vaseki vanozvikudza, asi anoitira nyasha vanozvininipisa.
35 Abahlakaniphileyo bazakudla ilifa lodumo, kodwa abayizithutha, isabelo sabo silihlazo.
Vakachenjera vanowana kukudzwa, asi mapenzi anozviwanira kunyadziswa.
