< Zvirevo 15 >
1 Mhinduro nyoro inodzora kutsamwa, asi shoko rinorwadza rinomutsa hasha.
Impendulo ethobekileyo iyaludedisa ulaka, kodwa ilizwi elilukhuni livusa ulaka.
2 Rurimi rwowakachenjera runobudisa zivo, asi muromo webenzi unodurura upenzi.
Ulimi lomuntu ohlakaniphileyo lukhulisa ulwazi, kodwa umlomo wesiwula uphihlika ubuphukuphuku.
3 Meso aJehovha ari pose pose, achicherechedza vakaipa navakanaka.
Amehlo kaThixo asezindaweni zonke, alinde ababi labalungileyo.
4 Rurimi runouyisa kuporesa ndirwo muti woupenyu, asi rurimi runonyengera runopwanya mweya.
Ulimi oluletha ukuphola luyisihlahla sokuphila, kodwa ulimi olukhohlisayo luyawephula umoya.
5 Benzi rinoramba kurayira kwababa varo, asi ani naani anogamuchira kurayirwa anoratidza kungwara.
Isiwula siyakulahla ukulaya kukayise, kodwa owemukela ukuqondiswa uveza ukuhlakanipha.
6 Imba yowakarurama ine pfuma zhinji, asi zvinowanikwa nowakaipa zvinomuunzira kutambudzika.
Indlu yolungileyo igcwele inotho, kodwa inzuzo yababi ibehlisela uhlupho.
7 Miromo yavakachenjera inokusha zivo; asi mwoyo yamapenzi haidaro.
Izindlela zabahlakaniphileyo ziyalwandisa ulwazi, kodwa kazenzi njalo inhliziyo zeziwula.
8 Jehovha anovenga chibayiro chowakaipa, asi munyengetero womunhu akarurama unomufadza.
UThixo uyawenyanya umhlatshelo wababi, kodwa umkhuleko wabaqotho uyamthokozisa.
9 Jehovha anovenga nzira yeakaipa, asi anoda vaya vanotevera kururama.
UThixo uyayenyanya indlela yababi, kodwa uyabathanda labo abalandela ukulunga.
10 Kurangwa kwakaomarara kwakamirira uyo anotsauka kubva panzira; uyo anovenga kudzorwa achafa.
Ukujeziswa okubuhlungu kumlindele ophambuka endleleni; ozonda ukuqondiswa uzakufa.
11 Rufu nokuparadzwa zviri pachena pamberi paJehovha, ko, kuzoti mwoyo yavanhu! (Sheol )
UKufa lokuBhujiswa kusobala phambi kukaThixo kangakanani ke inhliziyo zabantu! (Sheol )
12 Mudadi anovenga kudzorwa; haangabvunzi vakachenjera.
Isideleli siyakuzonda ukuqondiswa; kasibuzi kwabahlakaniphileyo.
13 Mwoyo wakafara, unofadza chiso, asi mwoyo une shungu unopwanya mweya.
Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza ubuso buchelese, kodwa inhliziyo ebuhlungu yephula umoya.
14 Mwoyo unonzvera unotsvaka ruzivo, asi muromo webenzi unodya upenzi.
Inhliziyo eqedisisayo idinga ulwazi, kodwa umlomo wesiwula wongiwa ngobuthutha.
15 Mazuva ose omunhu anotambudzika akaipa, asi mwoyo unofara une mutambo nguva dzose.
Zonke insuku zabancindezelweyo zilukhuni, kodwa inhliziyo ethokozileyo ihlezi iminza.
16 Zviri nani kuva nezvishoma uchitya Jehovha, pane kuva nepfuma zhinji namatambudziko.
Kungcono ukuba lokulutshwana umesaba uThixo kulokuba lenotho enengi ulenhlupho.
17 Zviri nani kuva nezvokudya zvomuriwo pane rudo, pane kuva nemhuru yakakodzwa pane ruvengo.
Kungcono ukutsheba ngemibhida lapho okulothando khona, kulokudla inyama enonileyo okugcwele khona inzondo.
18 Munhu ane hasha anomutsa bopoto, asi munhu ane mwoyo murefu anonyaradza kukakavara.
Ololaka oluvuthayo ubanga ukuxabana, kodwa umuntu obekezelayo uqeda inkani.
19 Nzira yesimbe yakasoswa neminzwa, asi nzira yavakarurama mugwagwa mukuru.
Indlela yevila igcwele ameva, kodwa indlela yomuntu olungileyo ikhamisile.
20 Mwanakomana akachenjera anounzira baba vake mufaro, asi munhu benzi anozvidza mai vake.
Indodana ehlakaniphileyo iletha intokozo kuyise, kodwa indoda eyisiwula yeyisa unina.
21 Upenzi hunofadza munhu anoshayiwa njere, asi munhu anonzwisisa anochengetedza nzira yakarurama.
Ubuthutha bujabulisa umuntu ongelangqondo, kodwa umuntu olokuzwisisa uhamba ngendlela eqondileyo.
22 Urongwa hunoparara kana pasina vanopa mazano, asi vanopa mazano vakawanda hunobudirira.
Amaqhinga ayehluleka nxa kungelazeluleko, kodwa ayaphumelela ngabeluleki abanengi.
23 Munhu anowana mufaro mukupa mhinduro yakanaka, uye rakanaka seiko shoko rinouya nenguva!
Umuntu uyathokoza ngokupha impendulo eqondileyo yeka kuhle kangakanani ukuzwa ilizwi elifaneleyo!
24 Nzira youpenyu kumunhu akachenjera inokwidza kumusoro, ichimuchengetedza kuti asaenda muguva. (Sheol )
Indlela yempilo iyimpumelelo kohlakaniphileyo ukuze angalengeli engcwabeni. (Sheol )
25 Jehovha anoparadza imba yomunhu anozvikudza, asi agochengeta miganhu yechirikadzi yakasimba.
UThixo uyayibhidliza indlu yomuntu oziphakamisayo, kodwa indawo yomfelokazi kayiyikuncitshiswa.
26 Jehovha anovenga pfungwa dzowakaipa, asi dzavakachena dzinomufadza.
UThixo uyayizonda imicabango yababi, kodwa leyo eyabalungileyo iyamthabisa.
27 Munhu anokara pfuma anouyisa kutambudzika kumhuri yake, asi anovenga fufuro achararama.
Indoda eyisihwaba iluhlupho kwabendlu yayo, kodwa lowo ozonda ukufunjathiswa uzaphila.
28 Mwoyo wokururama unoyera mhinduro dzawo, asi muromo woakaipa unodurura zvakaipa.
Olungileyo uyayihlolisisa impendulo engakaphenduli, kodwa umlomo womubi ukhihliza okubi.
29 Jehovha ari kure neakaipa, asi anonzwa munyengetero weakarurama.
UThixo ukhatshana kwababi, kodwa uyezwa umkhuleko wabalungileyo.
30 Chiso chinobwinya chinofadza mwoyo, uye mashoko akanaka anopa utano kumapfupa.
Ubuso obubobothekayo buletha intokozo enhliziyweni, lezindaba ezinhle ziqinisa umzimba.
31 Uyo anoteerera kutsiura kunopa upenyu achagara pakati pavakachenjera.
Lowo olalela ukukhuzwa okumphilisayo, uzahlala kuhle labahlakaniphileyo.
32 Uyo asina hanya nokurangwa anozvizvidza iye pachake, asi ani naani anogamuchira kurayira achawana kunzwisisa.
Lowo onganaki ukulaywa uyazeyisa yena ngokwakhe, kodwa onanza iziqondiso uzuza ukuzwisisa.
33 Kutya Jehovha kunodzidzisa munhu uchenjeri, uye kuzvininipisa kunotanga, kukudzwa kwozotevera.
Ukumesaba uThixo kufundisa umuntu ukuhlakanipha, njalo ukuzithoba kwandulela udumo.
