Amahubo 1

1 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongahambi ngeseluleko sababi, ongemi endleleni yezoni, ongahlali esihlalweni sabagconayo;

Akaropafadzwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, asingagari pachigaro chavadadi.

2 kodwa intokozo yakhe isemlayweni weNkosi, uzindla ngomlayo wayo emini lebusuku.

Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha, uye anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.

3 Njalo uzakuba njengesihlahla esihlanyelwe emifuleni yamanzi, esithela isithelo saso ngesikhathi saso, ohlamvu laso kaliyikubuna; lakho konke akwenzayo kuzaphumelela.

Akafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, uye mashizha awo haasvavi. Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chinoendeka.

4 Ababi kabanjalo, kodwa banjengamakhoba umoya owaphephulayo.

Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.

5 Ngakho ababi kabayikuma ekwahlulelweni, lezoni enhlanganweni yabalungileyo.

Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.

6 Ngoba iNkosi iyayazi indlela yabalungileyo, kodwa indlela yababi izabhubha.

Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
