Izaga 9
1 Inhlakanipho enkulu yakhe indlu yayo, ibaze insika zayo eziyisikhombisa.
Uchenjeri hwakavaka imba yahwo; hwakaveza mbiru dzahwo nomwe.
2 Ihlabe okuhlatshwayo kwayo, ixubanise iwayini layo, futhi yalungisa itafula layo.
Hwakabika nyama yahwo; uye hukagadzira waini yahwo; hwakagadzirawo tafura yahwo.
3 Ithume incekukazi zayo, iyamemeza engqongeni zendawo eziphakemeyo zomuzi zisithi:
Hwakatuma varandakadzi vahwo, uye hunodanidzira kubva panzvimbo yakakwirira kwazvo yeguta.
4 Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; oswele ingqondo, ithi kuye:
Kuna avo vanoshayiwa njere hunoti, “Vose vasina uchenjeri ngavauye muno!
5 Wozani, lidle okwesinkwa sami, linathe okwewayini engilixubanisileyo.
Uyai, mudye zvokudya zvangu munwe waini yandagadzira.
6 Yekelani abangelalwazi liphile, lihambe ngokuqonda ngendlela yokuqedisisa.
Siyai nzira dzenyu dzisina mano mugorarama; fambai munzira yokunzwisisa.
7 Osola isiklolodi uzizuzela ihlazo, lokhuza okhohlakeleyo uzizuzela isici.
“Ani naani anorayira mudadi anozvitsvakira kutukwa; ani naani anotsiura munhu akaipa anozviwanira kutukwa.
8 Ungasoli isiklolodi, hlezi sikuzonde; sola ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuthanda.
Usatsiura mudadi kuti arege kukuvenga; tsiura munhu akachenjera uye achakuda.
9 Nika ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuba lokhu ehlakanipha; fundisa olungileyo, njalo uzakwandisa ukufunda.
Rayira munhu akachenjera uye achawedzera uchenjeri hwake; dzidzisa munhu akarurama uye achawedzera kudzidza kwake.
10 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, lolwazi lwabangcwele luyikuqedisisa.
“Kutya Jehovha ndiwo mavambo ouchenjeri, uye kuziva Iye Mutsvene ndiko kunzwisisa.
11 Ngoba ngami insuku zakho zizakwandiswa, leminyaka yempilo yengezelelwe kuwe.
Nokuti neni mazuva ako achava mazhinji, uye makore achawedzerwa kuupenyu hwako.
12 Uba uhlakaniphile, uzakuba uzihlakaniphele; uba ukloloda, uzakuthwala wedwa.
Kana uri wakachenjera, uchenjeri hwako huchakupa mubayiro; kana uri mudadi, iwe woga ndiwe uchatambura.”
13 Owesifazana oyisithutha ulomsindo, kalangqondo, kazi lutho.
Mukadzi benzi ane ruzha; haana kudzikama uye haana zivo.
14 Ngoba uhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni, endaweni eziphakemeyo zomuzi,
Anogara pamusuo wemba yake, napachigaro chiri panzvimbo yakakwiririsa yeguta,
15 ukubiza abadlulayo ngendlela, abahamba beqondile emikhondweni yabo, esithi:
achidanidzira kuna avo vanenge vachipfuura napo, vaya vanofamba zvakarurama nenzira yavo.
16 Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; loswele ingqondo, uthi kuye:
Anoti kuna vaya vasina njere, “Vose vasina mano ngavauye muno!
17 Amanzi ebiweyo amnandi, lesinkwa sensitha siyahlabusa.
Mvura yakabiwa inozipa; zvokudya zvinodyirwa muchivande zvinonaka!”
