< Zvirevo 16 >
1 Kuronga kwomwoyo ndekwomunhu, asi mhinduro yorurimi inobva kuna Jehovha.
Umuntu ulamacebo enhliziyo, kodwa impendulo yolimi ivela eNkosini.
2 Nzira dzose dzomunhu dzinoita sedzakanaka pakuona kwake, asi Jehovha anoyera zvinangwa.
Zonke indlela zomuntu zihlanzekile emehlweni akhe, kodwa iNkosi ilinganisa imimoya.
3 Kumikidza kuna Jehovha chose chaunoita, ipapo urongwa hwako huchabudirira.
Giqela eNkosini imisebenzi yakho, lamacebo akho azaqiniswa.
4 Jehovha anoitira zvinhu zvose magumo azvo; kunyange akaipa anomuitira zuva renjodzi.
INkosi izenzele konke, lomubi laye usuku lobubi.
5 Jehovha anovenga vose vane mwoyo inozvikudza. Zvirokwazvo, havangaregi kurangwa.
Wonke ozigqajayo ngenhliziyo uyisinengiso eNkosini; isandla esandleni, kayikuyekelwa engajeziswanga.
6 Kubudikidza norudo nokutendeka, chivi chinoyananisirwa, kubudikidza nokutya Jehovha munhu anorega kuita zvakaipa.
Ngomusa leqiniso isono siyahlawulelwa, langokuyesaba iNkosi umuntu uyasuka ebubini.
7 Kana nzira dzomunhu dzichifadza Jehovha, anoita kuti kunyange vavengi vake vagarisane naye murugare.
Nxa indlela zomuntu zithokozisa iNkosi, iyenza lezitha zakhe zibe lokuthula laye.
8 Zviri nani kuva nezvishoma mukururama, pane kuva nezvakawanda kwazvo mukusaruramisira.
Okulutshwana kanye lokulunga kungcono kulobunengi benzuzo engelakulunga.
9 Mumwoyo make munhu anoronga gwara rake, asi Jehovha ndiye anotonga kufamba kwake.
Inhliziyo yomuntu iceba indlela yakhe, kodwa iNkosi iqondisa inyathelo lakhe.
10 Miromo yamambo inotaura seinotaura chirevo chaMwari, uye muromo wake haufaniri kurega kururamisira.
Isinqumo sikaNkulunkulu sisendebeni zenkosi; umlomo wayo kawuyikuphambeka kusahlulelo.
11 Zviyero nezvienzaniso zvechokwadi zvinobva kuna Jehovha; zviyero zvose zviri muhomwe ndiye akazviita.
Isikali lesilinganiso esilungileyo kungokweNkosi; wonke amatshe okulinganisa omgodla angumsebenzi wayo.
12 Madzimambo anovenga kuita zvakaipa, nokuti chigaro choushe chinosimbiswa nokururama.
Kuyisinengiso emakhosini ukwenza okubi, ngoba isihlalo sobukhosi simiswa ngokulunga.
13 Madzimambo anofarira miromo inotaura chokwadi; anoremekedza munhu anotaura chokwadi.
Indebe zokulunga ziyintokozo yamakhosi; iyathanda okhuluma izinto eziqondileyo.
14 Kutsamwa kwamambo inhume yorufu, asi munhu akachenjera anonyaradza kutsamwa uku.
Ulaka lombusi luyizithunywa zokufa, kodwa umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uzaluthulisa.
15 Kana chiso chamambo chichibwinya, zvinoreva upenyu, nyasha dzake dzakaita segore remvura panguva yomunakamwe.
Ekukhanyeni kobuso benkosi kulempilo, lomusa wayo unjengeyezi lezulu lamuva.
16 Zviri nani sei kuwana uchenjeri pane goridhe, kusarudza njere pane sirivha!
Kungcono kangakanani ukuzuza inhlakanipho kulegolide; lokuzuza ukuqedisisa kukhethwa kulesiliva.
17 Mugwagwa mukuru wavakarurama unonzvenga zvakaipa; uye anochengeta nzira yake anochengeta upenyu hwake.
Umgwaqo omkhulu wabaqotho yikusuka ebubini; olondoloza umphefumulo wakhe unanzelela indlela yakhe.
18 Kuzvikudza kunotangira kuparadzwa, mweya wamanyawi unotangira kuwa.
Ukuzigqaja kuqalela ukubhujiswa, lokuziphakamisa komoya kuqalela ukuwa.
19 Zviri nani kuva nomweya unozvininipisa pakati pavakadzvinyirirwa pane kugoverana zvakapambwa navanozvikudza.
Kungcono ukuthobeka ngomoya kanye labamnene, kulokwabelana impango labazigqajayo.
20 Ani naani anoteerera kurayirwa achabudirira, uye akaropafadzwa uyo anovimba naJehovha.
Ophatha udaba ngenhlakanipho uzathola okuhle; lothemba eNkosini uyathaba.
21 Vakachenjera pamwoyo vanonzi ndivo vanonzvera, uye mashoko akanaka anokurudzira kurayirwa.
Ohlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo kuthiwa ngoqedisisayo; lobumnandi bendebe bandisa imfundiso.
22 Njere itsime roupenyu kuna avo vanadzo, asi upenzi hunouyisa kurangwa kumapenzi.
Ukuqedisisa kwabalakho kungumthombo wempilo, kodwa ukulaya kwezithutha kuyibuthutha.
23 Mwoyo womunhu akachenjera unotungamirira muromo wake, uye miromo yake inokurudzira kurayirwa.
Ingqondo yohlakaniphileyo yenza umlomo wakhe uhlakaniphe, izakwandisa imfundiso endebeni zakhe.
24 Mashoko anofadza akafanana nezinga rouchi, anozipa kumweya, anoporesa mapfupa.
Amazwi amnandi aluhlanga loluju, amnandi emphefumulweni, ayimpiliso emathanjeni.
25 Kune nzira inoita seyakanaka kumunhu, asi magumo ayo inoenda kurufu.
Kukhona indlela ebonakala iqondile emuntwini, kodwa ukuphela kwayo zindlela zokufa.
26 Nzara yomushandi inomushandira; nzara yake inoita kuti arambe achishanda.
Indlala yomtshikatshiki iyazitshikatshikela, ngoba umlomo wakhe uyamkhuthaza.
27 Munhu asina maturo anoronga zvakaipa, uye matauriro ake akaita somoto unopisa.
Umuntu omubi ugebha ububi; lendebeni zakhe kulokunjengomlilo otshisayo.
28 Munhu akatsauka anomutsa kupesana, uye guhwa rinoparadzanisa shamwari dzepedyo.
Umuntu ophambeneyo ungenisa ingxabano, lonyeyayo wehlukanisa umngane oseduze.
29 Munhu anoita nechisimba anonyengera muvakidzani wake, uye anomufambisa napanzira isina kunaka.
Umuntu wobudlwangudlwangu uhuga umakhelwane wakhe, amhambise ngendlela engalunganga.
30 Uyo anochonya nameso ake ari kuronga zvakaipa; uyo anoruma miromo yake ari kuda kuita zvakaipa.
Uvala amehlo akhe ukuceba izinto eziphambeneyo, eluma indebe zakhe aqede ububi.
31 Bvudzi rakachena ikorona yakaisvonaka; inowanikwa noupenyu hwakarurama.
Izimvu zekhanda zingumqhele wodumo; zitholakala endleleni yokulunga.
32 Zviri nani kuva munhu ane mwoyo murefu pane kuva murwi, munhu anozvibata pakutsamwa kwake ari nani pane uyo anotapa guta.
Ophuza ukuthukuthela ungcono kuleqhawe, lobusa umoya wakhe kulothumba umuzi.
33 Mujenya unokandirwa pamakumbo, asi zvirevo zvose zvinobva kuna Jehovha.
Inkatho iphoselwa ethangazini, kodwa isinqumo sayo sonke sivela eNkosini.
