Izaga 7
1 Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi ami, uzibekele imilayo yami.
Mwanakomana wangu, chengeta mashoko angu ugoviga mirayiro yangu mauri.
2 Gcina imilayo yami, uphile, lomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yamehlo akho.
Chengeta mirayiro yangu ugorarama; uchengete dzidziso dzangu semboni yeziso rako.
3 Ukubophele eminweni yakho, kubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
Uzvisungirire paminwe yako; uzvinyore pahwendefa yomwoyo wako.
4 Uthi kunhlakanipho: Ungudadewethu; ubize ukuqedisisa ngokuthi yisihlobo sakho;
Uti kuuchenjeri, “Uri hanzvadzi yangu,” uye uti kunzwisisa ndiyo hama yako;
5 ukuze kukugcine kumfazi wemzini, kowesifazana wemzini oyengayo ngamazwi akhe.
zvichakuchengeta kure nomukadzi chifeve; kubva pamudzimai asingazvibati anokwezva namashoko ake.
6 Ngoba ewindini lendlu yami, ngeminxibo yewindi ngalunguza phandle,
Napawindo remba yangu ndakatarira panze nomumagirazi.
7 ngasengibona phakathi kwabangelalwazi, ngananzelela phakathi kwabatsha ijaha eliswele ingqondo,
Ndakaona pakati pavasina mano ndikacherechedza pakati pamajaya, rimwe jaya rakanga risina njere.
8 lisedlula esitaladeni eceleni kwengonsi yakhe, linyathela endleleni yendlu yakhe,
Rakanga richidzika nomugwagwa pedyo nepakona yomukadzi uya, richifamba rakananga kumba kwake,
9 kusihlwa, ngentambama yosuku, ebusuku obumnyama, lomnyama.
panguva yorubvunzavaeni, zuva ravira, kunze kwosviba.
10 Khangela-ke, owesifazana walihlangabeza, lesembatho sewule, elobuqili ngenhliziyo.
Ipapo mukadzi akabuda kuzosangana naye, akapfeka sechifeve uye azere nounyengeri.
11 Lo wayelomsindo, eyisiqholo; inyawo zakhe kazihlali endlini yakhe.
Anotaura noruzha uye anozvikudza, tsoka dzake hadzigari pamba;
12 Khathesi uphandle, abesesiba ezitaladeni, ecathama kuyo yonke ingonsi.
imwe nguva ari munzira, imwe nguva ari pazvivara. Anorindira pamakona ose.
13 Ngokunjalo walibamba, walanga, waqinisa ubuso bakhe, wathi kulo:
Akamubata ndokumutsvoda, uye nechiso chisina nyadzi akati:
14 Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula ikimi; lamuhla sengibhadele izifungo zami.
“Ndine zvipiriso zvokuwadzana kumba kwangu; nhasi ndazadzisa mhiko dzangu.
15 Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ukukuhlangabeza, ngidingisise ubuso bakho; ngikutholile.
Saka ndauya kuzosangana newe; ndanga ndichikutsvaka, zvino ndazokuwana!
16 Ngendlele umbheda wami ngezendlalo, ngamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu alemibalabala avela eGibhithe.
Ndawaridza mubhedha wangu machira ane mavara, anobva kuIjipiti.
17 Ngifafazile umbheda wami ngemure, izinhlaba, lekinamoni.
Ndasasa zvinonhuhwira pamubhedha wangu, zvinoti: mura, gavakava nesinamoni.
18 Woza, sizidakise ngothando kuze kuse, sizithokozise ngothando olukhulu.
Uya, tinwe tigute norudo kusvikira mangwanani; ngatifare zvedu norudo!
19 Ngoba indoda kayikho endlini yayo, ihambile uhambo khatshana.
Murume wangu haako kumba, akafamba rwendo rurefu.
20 Ithethe isaka lemali esandleni sayo; ngosuku lwenyanga egcweleyo izakuza endlini yayo.
Akatakura homwe yake izere nemari uye haangadzoki kumba kusvikira pajenaguru.”
21 Walihuga ngobunengi bemfundiso yakhe, walivumisa ngenkulumo zakhe ezincengayo.
Namashoko okunyengetedza akamutsausa; akamukwezva nokutaura kwake kunonyengera.
22 Lahle lamlandela njengenkabi isiya ekuhlatshweni, lanjengesiphukuphuku sisiya ekujezisweni esongweni lenqagala;
Pakarepo akamutevera senzombe inoenda kundobayiwa, senondo inopinda mumusungo,
23 uze umtshoko uhlabe isibindi salo, njengenyoni iphangisela esifwini, ingazi ukuthi simelene lempilo yayo.
kusvikira museve wabaya chiropa chake, seshiri inokurumidza kupinda muugombe, asingazivi kuti zvichamuurayisa.
24 Khathesi-ke, bantwana, ngizweni, lilalele amazwi omlomo wami.
Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, teererai kwandiri; nyatsoteererai zvandinotaura.
25 Inhliziyo yakho kayingaphambukeli endleleni zakhe; ungaduhi emikhondweni yakhe.
Usarega mwoyo wako uchitsaukira kunzira dzake, kana kurasikira pamakwara ake.
26 Ngoba ubawisele phansi abanengi abalimeleyo, labo bonke ababuleweyo bakhe banengi.
Vazhinji vakakuvadzwa naye vakawisirwa pasi; vaakauraya vakawanda kwazvo.
