Zvirevo 14
1 Mukadzi akachenjera anovaka imba yake, asi benzi rinoputsa imba yaro namaoko aro.
Wonke owesifazana ohlakaniphileyo uyayakha indlu yakhe, kodwa oyisithutha uyayidiliza ngezandla zakhe.
2 Uyo ano mufambiro wakarurama anotya Jehovha, asi uyo ano mufambiro wakatsauka anomuzvidza.
Ohamba ngobuqotho bakhe wesaba iNkosi, kodwa ophambene ngendlela zakhe uyayidelela.
3 Kutaura kwebenzi kunouyisa shamhu kumusana kwaro, asi miromo yavakachenjera inovadzivirira.
Emlonyeni wesithutha kulentonga yokuzigqaja, kodwa indebe zabahlakaniphileyo ziyabagcina.
4 Kana pasina nzombe, chidyiro hachina chinhu, asi pasimba renzombe ndipo panobva kukohwa kukuru.
Lapho okungekho izinkabi khona umkolo uhlanzekile, kodwa kulesivuno esinengi ngamandla enkabi.
5 Chapupu chechokwadi hachinyengeri, asi chapupu chenhema chinodurura nhema.
Umfakazi othembekileyo kaqambi amanga, kodwa umfakazi wamanga uphafuza amanga.
6 Mudadi anotsvaka uchenjeri asi anohushaya, asi ruzivo runouya zviri nyore kune anonzvera.
Odelelayo udinga inhlakanipho, kodwa kayikho; kodwa ulwazi lulula koqedisisayo.
7 Gara kure nomunhu benzi, nokuti haungawani ruzivo kubva pamiromo yake.
Suka phambi komuntu oyisithutha, nxa ungayikunanzelela kuye indebe zolwazi.
8 Uchenjeri hwomunhu akangwara ndiko kunzwisisa nzira dzake, asi upenzi hwamapenzi ndihwo unyengeri.
Inhlakanipho yokhaliphileyo yikuqedisisa indlela yakhe, kodwa ubuthutha bezithutha buyinkohliso.
9 Mapenzi anoseka kutendeuka pazvivi, asi kuita zvakanaka kunowanikwa pakati pavakarurama.
Izithutha ziyakloloda ngesono, kodwa phakathi kwabaqotho kulomusa.
10 Mwoyo mumwe nomumwe unoziva kutambudzika kwawo, uye hapana munhu angagoverana nawo mufaro wawo.
Inhliziyo iyazi ukubaba kwayo ngokwayo, lowemzini kahlanganyeli lentokozo yayo.
11 Imba yeakaipa ichaparadzwa, asi tende rowakarurama richabudirira.
Indlu yabakhohlakeleyo izachithwa, kodwa ithente labaqotho lizahluma.
12 Kune nzira inoita seyakanaka kumunhu, asi kumagumo inotungamirira kurufu.
Kukhona indlela ebonakala ilungile emuntwini, kodwa ukuphela kwayo zindlela zokufa.
13 Kunyange mukuseka mwoyo unogona kurwadziwa, uye mufaro ungangoperera mukusuwa.
Lekuhlekeni inhliziyo isebuhlungwini, lokuphela kwaleyontokozo lusizi.
14 Vasingatendi vachapiwa mubayiro wakazara wenzira dzavo, uye munhu akanaka achapiwa mubayiro wenzira dzakewo.
Ohlehlela nyovane ngenhliziyo uzasutha ngezindlela zakhe, kodwa umuntu olungileyo uzasutha ngaye ngokwakhe.
15 Munhu asina mano anongotenda zvose zvose, asi munhu akangwara anongwarira mafambiro ake.
Ongelalwazi ukholwa lonke ilizwi, kodwa olengqondo unanzelela ukuhamba kwakhe.
16 Munhu akachenjera anotya Jehovha uye anovenga zvakaipa, asi benzi rina manyawi uye harina hanya.
Ohlakaniphileyo uyesaba, asuke ebubini, kodwa isithutha siyathukuthela, silitshapha.
17 Munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoita zvinhu zvoupenzi, uye munhu anoita zvounyengeri achavengwa.
Ophangisa ukuthukuthela wenza ubuthutha, lomuntu wamacebo amabi uzazondwa.
18 Vasina mano vachagara nhaka youpenzi, asi vakangwara vachapfekedzwa korona yezivo.
Abangelalwazi badla ilifa lobuthutha, kodwa abakhaliphileyo bazathwala umqhele wolwazi.
19 Vanhu vakaipa vachagwadama pamberi pavakanaka, uye vakaipa pamasuo avakarurama.
Ababi bakhothama phambi kwabalungileyo, labakhohlakeleyo emasangweni abalungileyo.
20 Varombo vanoraswa kunyange navavakidzani vavo, asi vapfumi vane shamwari zhinji.
Umyanga uzondwa langumakhelwane wakhe, kodwa abathanda onothileyo banengi.
21 Uyo anozvidza muvakidzani wake anotadza, asi akaropafadzwa ane tsitsi kune vanoshayiwa.
Odelela umakhelwane wakhe uyona, kodwa olomusa kubayanga ubusisiwe.
22 Ko, vanoronga zvakaipa havarasiki here? Asi avo vanoronga zvakanaka vanowana rudo nokutendeka.
Kabaduhi yini abaceba okubi? Kodwa umusa leqiniso ngokwalabo abaceba okuhle.
23 Kushanda nesimba kwose kunopa mubayiro, asi kungotaura kunotungamirira kuurombo bedzi.
Kumtshikatshika wonke kulenzuzo, kodwa inkulumo yendebe ibanga inswelo kuphela.
24 Upfumi hwavakachenjera ikorona yavo, asi upenzi hwamapenzi hunobereka upenzi.
Umqhele wabahlakaniphileyo uyinotho yabo; ubuthutha bezithutha buyibuthutha.
25 Chapupu chechokwadi chinoponesa upenyu, asi chapupu chenhema chinonyengera.
Umfakazi oqinisileyo uyophula imiphefumulo, kodwa ophafuza amanga ungumkhohlisi.
26 Uyo anotya Jehovha ane nhare yakasimba, uye ichava utiziro kuvana vake.
Ekuyesabeni iNkosi kulethemba eliqinileyo, labantwana bakhe bazakuba lesiphephelo.
27 Kutya Jehovha ndicho chitubu choupenyu, kunodzora munhu kubva pamisungo yorufu.
Ukuyesaba iNkosi kungumthombo wempilo, ukusuka emijibileni yokufa.
28 Mukuwanda kwavanhu ndimo mune ukuru hwamambo, asi pasina vanhu muchinda anoparadzwa.
Lusebunengini babantu udumo lwenkosi, kodwa kusekuswelekeni kwabantu ukuchitheka kombusi.
29 Munhu ane mwoyo murefu anonzwisisa, asi munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoratidza upenzi.
Ophuza ukuthukuthela ulokuqedisisa okukhulu, kodwa ophangisa ukuzonda ukhulisa ubuthutha.
30 Mwoyo wakagadzikana unopa upenyu kumuviri, asi ruchiva runoodza mapfupa.
Inhliziyo ephilileyo iyimpilo yenyama, kodwa umhawu uyikubola kwamathambo.
31 Uyo anomanikidza varombo anoratidza kuti anozvidza Musiki wavo, asi ani naani ane hanya nevanoshayiwa anokudza Mwari.
Ocindezela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe, kodwa olomusa koswelayo uyamdumisa.
32 Kana njodzi yauya, akaipa anowisirwa pasi, asi kunyange murufu akarurama ane utiziro.
Okhohlakeleyo uwiswa ebubini bakhe, kodwa olungileyo ulethemba ekufeni kwakhe.
33 Uchenjeri hunogara mumwoyo yavanohunzvera uye kunyange pakati pamapenzi hunozvizivisa.
Inhlakanipho ihlala enhliziyweni yoqedisisayo, kodwa okuphakathi kwezithutha kuyaziwa.
34 Kururama kunosimudzira rudzi, asi chivi chinonyadzisa vanhu vapi zvavo.
Ukulunga kuphakamisa isizwe, kodwa isono silihlazo ebantwini.
35 Mambo anofarira muranda akachenjera, asi muranda anonyadzisa achatsamwirwa naye.
Umusa wenkosi usencekwini ehlakaniphileyo, kodwa intukuthelo yayo izakuba kwethela ihlazo.
