Izaga 5
1 Ndodana yami, lalela inhlakanipho yami, beka indlebe yakho ekuqedisiseni kwami,
Mwanakomana wangu, nyatsoteerera kuuchenjeri hwangu, teereresa kumashoko angu oungwaru,
2 ukuze uqaphele ingqondo, lendebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
kuti ugare wakachengeta kungwara uye kuti miromo yako ichengetedze zivo.
3 Ngoba indebe zowesifazana wemzini zithonta uluju, lomlomo wakhe ubutshelezi kulamafutha.
Nokuti miromo yomukadzi chifeve inodonha uchi, nomutauriro wake unotedza kupfuura mafuta;
4 Kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyababa njengomhlonyane, kubukhali njengenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili.
asi pakupedzisira anovava senduru, anopinza somunondo unocheka namativi ose.
Tsoka dzake dzinoenda kurufu; nhambwe dzake dzinonanga kuguva. (Sheol h7585)
6 Hlezi ulinganise indlela yempilo, imikhondo yakhe iyazulazula, kananzeleli.
Haafungi pamusoro penzira youpenyu; nzira dzake dzakaminama, asi iye haazvizivi.
7 Ngakho-ke, bantwana, ngilalelani, lingaphambuki emazwini omlomo wami.
Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, nditeererei; musatsauka pane zvandinotaura.
8 Dedisela indlela yakho khatshana laye, ungasondeli emnyango wendlu yakhe;
Fambai nenzira iri kure naye, musasvika pedyo nomusuo wemba yake,
9 hlezi unikele udumo lwakho kwabanye, leminyaka yakho kolesihluku;
kuti murege kupa vamwe zvakanaka zvesimba renyu, uye namakore enyu kuno uyo ane utsinye,
10 hlezi abezizwe bazisuthise ngamandla akho, lemitshikatshika yakho ibe sendlini yowezizweni;
kuti vatorwa varege kudya upfumi hwenyu, uye kushanda kwenyu nesimba kurege kupfumisa imba yomumwe munhu.
11 njalo ububule ekupheleni kwakho, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekudliwe;
Pakupedzisira kwoupenyu hwako uchagomera, kana nyama nomuviri wako zvaparadzwa.
12 njalo uthi: Ngikuzonde njani ukulaywa, lenhliziyo yami yadelela ukukhuzwa!
Uchazoti, “Mavengero andaiita kurayirwa! Mashorero aiita mwoyo wangu kudzorwa!
13 Kangizwanga-ke ilizwi labafundisi bami; kangibekanga indlebe zami kwabangifundisayo!
Ndakanga ndisingateereri vadzidzisi vangu, kana kunzwa varairidzi vangu.
14 Ngaphosa ngaba ebubini bonke phakathi kwebandla lenhlangano.
Ndasvika pakuparara chaiko pakati peungano yose.”
15 Natha amanzi emgodini wakho, lemifula ephuma phakathi komthombo wakho.
Inwa mvura pachirongo chako chaicho, mvura inoerera patsime rako chairo.
16 Imithombo yakho ichitheke phandle, izifula zamanzi emidangeni.
Ko, zvitubu zvako zvinofanira kuerera mumigwagwa here; nzizi dzako dzemvura pazvivara?
17 Kakube ngokwakho wedwa, kungabi ngokwabezizweni kanye lawe.
Ngadzive dzako woga, hadzitombofaniri kugoveranwa navatorwa.
18 Umthombo wakho kawubusiswe; uthokoze ngomfazi wobutsha bakho;
Tsime rako ngariropafadzwe, uye ufadzwe nomudzimai woujaya hwako.
19 impala ethandekayo kakhulu, legogo elibukekayo; amabele akhe kawakusuthise sonke isikhathi, uzule othandweni lwakhe kokuphela.
Sehadzi yengururu inofadza, nehadzi yenondo yakanaka, mazamu ake ngaakufadze nguva dzose, ugare uchigutswa norudo rwake.
20 Kungani-ke, ndodana yami, uzule kowesifazana wemzini, ugone isifuba sowemzini?
Unosungirweiko, mwanakomana wangu, nomukadzi chifeve? Unombundikirireiko chipfuva chomukadzi womumwe murume?
21 Ngoba indlela zomuntu ziphambi kwamehlo eNkosi; njalo iyalinganisa yonke imikhondo yakhe.
Nokuti nzira dzomunhu dziri pachena pamberi paJehovha, uye anoongorora nzira dzake dzose.
22 Ezakhe iziphambeko zizabamba omubi, abanjwe zintambo zesono sakhe.
Zviito zvakaipa zvomunhu akaipa zvichamusunga; tambo dzechivi chake dzichamubata iye kwazvo.
23 Yena uzakufa ngokungalaywa, lebukhulwini bobuthutha bakhe uzaduha.
Achafa nokuda kwokushayiwa kuzvibata kwake, atsauswa noupenzi hwake hukuru.
