Izaga 8
1 Inhlakanipho kayimemezi yini, lokuqedisisa kukhuphe ilizwi lakho?
Ko, uchenjeri hahudanidziri here? Kunzwisisa hakusimudziri inzwi rako here?
2 Engqongeni yezindawo eziphakemeyo, ngasendleleni, phakathi kwezindlela kumi.
Panzvimbo dzakakwirira panzira, pamharadzano dzenzira, ndipo pahumire;
3 Eceleni kwamasango, entubeni yomuzi, ekungeneni kweminyango kuyamemeza kakhulu kuthi:
parutivi rwamasuo okupinda muguta, pamikova, hunodanidzirisa huchiti,
4 Kini, madoda, ngiyamemeza, lelizwi lami lisebantwaneni babantu.
“Kwamuri, imi varume, ndinodanidzira; ndinosimudzira inzwi rangu kuvanhu vose.
5 Lina elingelalwazi, qedisisani inhlakanipho; lani zithutha, qedisisani ngenhliziyo.
Imi vasina mano, wanai uchenjeri; imi mapenzi, wanai kunzwisisa.
6 Zwanini, ngoba ngizakhuluma izinto zobukhosi, lokuvula kwendebe zami kuzakuba yikuqonda.
Teererai, nokuti ndine zvinhu zvinokosha zvokutaura; ndinozarura muromo wangu kuti nditaure zvakarurama.
7 Ngoba umlomo wami ukhuluma iqiniso, lenkohlakalo iyisinengiso endebeni zami.
Muromo wangu unotaura zvokwadi, nokuti miromo yangu inovenga zvakaipa.
8 Wonke amazwi omlomo wami asekulungeni; kakukho okutshilekileyo lokugobileyo kuwo.
Mashoko ose omuromo wangu akarurama; hapana kana rimwe rakakombama kana rakaipa.
9 Wonke aqondile kulowo oqedisisayo, alungile kulabo abathola ulwazi.
Kune ane njere ose zvawo akarurama, akarurama kuna avo vane zivo.
10 Yemukelani ukufundisa kwami, hatshi isiliva, lolwazi kulegolide elikhethekileyo.
Sarudza kurayira kwangu panzvimbo yesirivha, ruzivo panzvimbo yegoridhe rakaisvonaka,
11 Ngoba inhlakanipho ingcono kulamatshe amahle, lakho konke okufisekayo kakulakulinganiswa layo.
nokuti uchenjeri hunokosha kupfuura marubhi, uye hapana chaungada chingaenzaniswa nahwo.
12 Mina nhlakanipho ngihlala lokuqedisisa, ngithola ulwazi lamacebo.
“Ini, uchenjeri ndinogara pamwe chete navakachenjera; ndine ruzivo nenjere.
13 Ukwesaba iNkosi kuyikuzonda ububi; ukuzigqaja, lokuziqhenya, lendlela embi, lomlomo wokuphambeka ngiyakuzonda.
Kutya Jehovha ndiko kuvenga zvakaipa; ndinovenga kuzvikudza namanyawi, maitiro akaipa nokutaura kunonyangadza.
14 Iseluleko ngesami, lenhlakanipho eqotho; ngiyikuqedisisa; amandla ngawami.
Zano nokutonga kwakanaka ndezvangu; ndine kunzwisisa nesimba.
15 Ngami amakhosi ayabusa, lababusi bamisa ukulunga.
Madzimambo anobata ushe neni uye vatongi vanodzika mirayiro yakarurama;
16 Ngami iziphathamandla ziyabusa, lezikhulu, bonke abehluleli bomhlaba.
machinda anofambisa ushe neni, navakuru vose vanotonga panyika.
17 Mina ngiyathanda abangithandayo, lalabo abangidingisisayo bazangithola.
Ndinoda avo vanondida, uye vaya vanonditsvaka vanondiwana.
18 Inotho lodumo kukimi, inotho eqhubekayo lokulunga.
Pfuma nokukudzwa zvineni, upfumi hunogara nokururama.
19 Isithelo sami singcono kulegolide, legolide elicwengekileyo, lokutholakalayo kwami kulesiliva esikhethekileyo.
Chibereko changu chakanaka kupfuura goridhe rakaisvonaka; zvandinobereka zvinopfuura sirivha yakaisvonaka.
20 Ngihamba endleleni yokulunga, phakathi kwemikhondo yesahlulelo;
Ndinofamba munzira dzokururama, pamakwara okururamisira,
21 ukuthi ngenze abangithandayo badle ilifa lemfuyo; ngigcwalise iziphala zabo.
ndichipa upfumi kuna avo vanondida, uye ndichiita kuti matura avo azare.
22 INkosi, ngaba ngeyayo, ngaba yikuqala kwendlela yayo, ngaphambi kwemisebenzi yayo yendulo.
“Jehovha akandibudisa sebasa rake rokutanga pamabasa ake, kutangira mabasa ake akare;
23 Ngamiswa kwasephakadeni, kusukela ekuqaleni, kusukela emandulo omhlaba.
ndakagadzwa kubva pakusingaperi, kubva pakutanga, nyika isati yavapo.
24 Kungakabi khona izinziki ngasengizelwe, ingakabi khona imithombo enzima ngamanzi.
Makungwa asati avapo, ndakaberekwa, pasati pava nezvitubu zvine mvura zhinji;
25 Intaba zingakamiswa, kungakabi khona amaqaqa, ngasengizelwe.
makomo asati aiswa munzvimbo dzawo, zvikomo zvisati zvavapo, ndakaberekwa,
26 Ingakawenzi umhlaba lemimango, lokuqala kwentuli zomhlaba.
asati aita nyika neminda kana guruva ripi zvaro renyika.
27 Lapho ilungisa amazulu ngangikhonapho; lapho imisa umkhathi ngaphezu kwenziki;
Ndakanga ndiripo paakaisa matenga munzvimbo dzawo, paakaita denderedzwa pamusoro pamakungwa,
28 lapho imisa amayezi ngaphezulu; lapho iqinisa imithombo yenziki;
paakaita makore kudenga uye paakasimbisa zvitubu zvamakungwa,
29 lapho imisela ulwandle umngcele walo ukuze amanzi angeqi umlayo wayo; lapho imisa izisekelo zomhlaba;
paakapa gungwa miganhu yaro kuti mvura dzirege kudarika zvaakarayira, uye paakateya nheyo dzenyika.
30 khona ngangiseduze layo njengowakhuliswa yiyo, ngizintokozo zayo usuku ngosuku, ngithokoza phambi kwayo ngaso sonke isikhathi,
Ipapo ndini ndaiva mhizha parutivi rwake. Ndaigara ndichifara zuva nezuva, ndichifara nguva dzose pamberi pake,
31 ngidlala elizweni lomhlaba wayo, lentokozo zami zisebantwaneni babantu.
ndichifadzwa nenyika yake yose uye ndichifadzwa navanhu vose.
32 Ngakho-ke, bantwana bami, ngizweni; ngoba babusisiwe abagcina indlela zami.
“Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, teererai kwandiri; vakaropafadzwa avo vanochengeta nzira dzangu.
33 Zwanini ukulaya, lihlakaniphe, lingakudeli.
Teererai kurayira kwangu mugova vakachenjera; musakushayira hanya.
34 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongizwayo, alinde insuku ngensuku emasangweni ami, alinde emigubazini yeminyango yami.
Akaropafadzwa munhu anoteerera kwandiri, anorinda mazuva ose pamasuo angu. Anomira pamukova womusuo wangu.
35 Ngoba ongitholayo uthola impilo, azuze umusa eNkosini.
Nokuti ani naani anondiwana anowana upenyu uye anogamuchira nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha.
36 Kodwa owona kimi wona umphefumulo wakhe; bonke abangizondayo bathanda ukufa.
Asi ani naani asingandiwani anozvikuvadza; vose vanondivenga vanoda rufu.”
