Izaga 5
1 Ndodana yami, lalela inhlakanipho yami, beka indlebe yakho ekuqedisiseni kwami,
E KUU keiki, e hoolohe mai i ko'u naauao, E haliu mai hoi kou pepeiao i ko'u iko:
2 ukuze uqaphele ingqondo, lendebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
I malama oe i ke aoia mai, E hoopaa hoi kou mau lehelehe i ka ike.
3 Ngoba indebe zowesifazana wemzini zithonta uluju, lomlomo wakhe ubutshelezi kulamafutha.
No ka mea, o na lehelehe o ka wahine hookamakama he meli ia e kulu ana, A ua oi aku ka pahee o kona waha i ko ka aila.
4 Kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyababa njengomhlonyane, kubukhali njengenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili.
Aka, na awahia kona hope, e like me ka laau awaawa, Oioi hoi o like me ka pahikaua oi lua.
Ke iho iho la kona mau wawae i ka make, E pili ana hoi kona mau kapuwai i ka lua, (Sheol h7585)
6 Hlezi ulinganise indlela yempilo, imikhondo yakhe iyazulazula, kananzeleli.
I ole oe e noonoo i ke ala o ko ola, He loli wale kona noho ana i ole oe e ike aku.
7 Ngakho-ke, bantwana, ngilalelani, lingaphambuki emazwini omlomo wami.
Ano la, e na keiki, hoolohe mai ia'u, Mai haliu ae mai ka olelo aku a kuu waha.
8 Dedisela indlela yakho khatshana laye, ungasondeli emnyango wendlu yakhe;
E hooneenee loa aku i kou hele ana mai ona aku, Mai hookokoke aku oe i ka puka o kona hale:
9 hlezi unikele udumo lwakho kwabanye, leminyaka yakho kolesihluku;
O haawi oe i kou nani i na mea e, A me kon mau makahiki hoi i ka mea aloha ole:
10 hlezi abezizwe bazisuthise ngamandla akho, lemitshikatshika yakho ibe sendlini yowezizweni;
O lako hoi na mea e i kou mau mea maikai; A me na hale o ka malihini i kau waiwai;
11 njalo ububule ekupheleni kwakho, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekudliwe;
A uwe oe i kou hope, I ka pau ana o kou io a me kou kino;
12 njalo uthi: Ngikuzonde njani ukulaywa, lenhliziyo yami yadelela ukukhuzwa!
A e olelo hoi, Auwe ko'u inaina aku i ka ike, A me ka hoowahawaha ana o ko'u naau i ke aoia mai!
13 Kangizwanga-ke ilizwi labafundisi bami; kangibekanga indlebe zami kwabangifundisayo!
Aole au i hoolohe i ka leo o ka'u mau kumu, Aole hoi i haliu aku ko'u pepeiao i ka poe i ao mai ia'u!
14 Ngaphosa ngaba ebubini bonke phakathi kwebandla lenhlangano.
Mai noho au ma na hewa a pau loa, Mawaena o ke anaina a me ka ahakanaka.
15 Natha amanzi emgodini wakho, lemifula ephuma phakathi komthombo wakho.
E ia u oe i ka wai noloko ae o kou punawai, A i na waikahe hoi noloko ae o kou kahawai.
16 Imithombo yakho ichitheke phandle, izifula zamanzi emidangeni.
E hu aku iwaho kou mau lokowai, A kahe na auwai ma na alanui.
17 Kakube ngokwakho wedwa, kungabi ngokwabezizweni kanye lawe.
Nau wale iho no lakou, Aole na ka poe malihini pu me oe.
18 Umthombo wakho kawubusiswe; uthokoze ngomfazi wobutsha bakho;
E hoomaikaiia kou punawai; A e olioli oe me ka wahine o kou wa ui.
19 impala ethandekayo kakhulu, legogo elibukekayo; amabele akhe kawakusuthise sonke isikhathi, uzule othandweni lwakhe kokuphela.
He dia aloha ia a me ka ibeka oluolu; E maona oe i na la a pau i kona waiu, E ana mau oe i kona aloha.
20 Kungani-ke, ndodana yami, uzule kowesifazana wemzini, ugone isifuba sowemzini?
No ke aha la e ona oe, e kuu keiki, i ka wahine e, A e apo oe i ka wahine a hai ma kou umauma?
21 Ngoba indlela zomuntu ziphambi kwamehlo eNkosi; njalo iyalinganisa yonke imikhondo yakhe.
No ka mea, e kau pono ana na maka o Iehova i ka aoao o ke kanaka, E ike ana no hoi i kona mau aoao a pau,
22 Ezakhe iziphambeko zizabamba omubi, abanjwe zintambo zesono sakhe.
E puni ka mea hewa i kona hala iho, E heiia hoi oia i ka hei o kona hewa iho.
23 Yena uzakufa ngokungalaywa, lebukhulwini bobuthutha bakhe uzaduha.
E make oia me ke ao ole ia mai; A e hele hewa oia i ka nui o kona naaupo ana.
