Zvirevo 17
1 Zviri nani kuva nechimedu chakaoma chechingwa uine rugare norunyararo pane imba izere namabiko, ine kupesana.
Ucezu olomileyo lokuthula kanye lalo lungcono kulendlu egcwele imihlatshelo lengxabano.
2 Muranda akachenjera achatonga mwanakomana anonyadzisa, uye achagoverwa nhaka somumwe wehama.
Inceku ehlakaniphileyo izabusa phezu kwendodana eyangisayo, yehlukanise ilifa phakathi kwezelamani.
3 Hari ndeyokunyautsira sirivha uye choto ndechokunatsa goridhe, asi Jehovha ndiye anoedza mwoyo.
Imbiza yokuncibilikisa ngeyesiliva, lesithando ngesegolide, kodwa iNkosi ihlola izinhliziyo.
4 Munhu akaipa anoteerera miromo yakaipa; murevi wenhema anorerekera nzeve yake kururimi runoparadza.
Umenzi wobubi ulalela indebe ekhohlakeleyo; umqambimanga ubeka indlebe olimini oluchithayo.
5 Uyo anoseka varombo anozvidza Musiki wavo, ani naani anofarira njodzi dzavamwe haangaregi kurangwa.
Oklolodela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe; othokoza encithakalweni kayikuba msulwa.
6 Vana vevana ikorona kune vakwegura, uye vabereki ndivo kukudzwa kwavana vavo.
Abantwana babantwana bangumqhele wabadala, lodumo lwabantwana ngoyise.
7 Kutaura kuna manyawi hakuna kufanira benzi, zvikuru sei kutaura nhema kwomubati!
Indebe elobungcwethi kayisifanelanga isithutha; kakhulu kangakanani indebe yamanga isiphathamandla.
8 Fufuro inofadza uyo anoipa; kwose kwose kwaanoenda, anobudirira.
Isipho siyilitshe eliligugu emehlweni abaniniso; loba ngaphi esiphendukela khona sizaphumelela.
9 Uyo anofukidzira kudarika kwomumwe anotsvaka rudo, asi ani naani anomutsazve mhaka anoparadzanisa shamwari dzepedyo.
Osibekela isiphambeko udinga uthando, kodwa ophindaphinda udaba wehlukanisa umngane oseduze.
10 Kutsiurwa kunofadza munhu ane njere kupfuura kurohwa kwebenzi kazana.
Ukukhuza kuyajula koqedisisayo kulokutshaya isithutha ngokulikhulu.
11 Munhu akaipa anongotsvaka kumukira chete; nhume isina tsitsi ichatumirwa kundomurwisa.
Omubi udinga ububi kuphela, kodwa isithunywa esilesihluku sizathunyelwa kuye.
12 Zviri nani kusangana nechikara chatorerwa vana vacho pane benzi muupenzi hwaro.
Kakuthi ibhere elifelwe yimidlwane lihlangane lomuntu, kodwa hatshi isithutha ebuthutheni baso.
13 Kana munhu akaripira zvakanaka nezvakaipa zvakaipa hazvizombobvi paimba yake.
Ophindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle, ububi kabuyikusuka endlini yakhe.
14 Kuvamba kwokukakavara kwakafanana nokudziurira mvura yedhamu; saka rega nharo kurwa kusati kwatanga.
Ukuqala kwenkani kunjengokuvulela amanzi; ngakho yekela ingxabano ingakazivezi.
15 Kupembedza ane mhosva nokupomera asina mhaka, Jehovha anozvivenga zvose.
Olungisisa omubi lolahla olungileyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, ngitsho bobabili.
16 Ine basa reiko mari kana iri muruoko rwebenzi, sezvo risina chishuvo chokuwana uchenjeri?
Kungani kulemali yokuthenga inhlakanipho esandleni sesithutha, lokhu singelangqondo?
17 Shamwari inoda panguva dzose, uye hama yakaberekerwa kupikisana.
Umngane uyathanda ngaso sonke isikhathi, lomzalwane uzalelwa inhlupheko.
18 Munhu anoshayiwa njere ndiye anombunda noruoko rwake pamhiko, uye anoitira muvakidzani wake rubatso.
Umuntu oswela ingqondo uyabambana ngezandla ukuba yisibambiso phambi kukamakhelwane wakhe.
19 Uyo anoda zvokukakavara anoda chivi; uyo anovaka suo refu anotsvaka kuparadzwa.
Othanda isiphambeko uthanda inkani; ophakamisa umnyango wakhe udinga ukubhujiswa.
20 Munhu ane mwoyo wakaipa haabudiriri; uyo ane rurimi runonyengera achawira mudambudziko.
Olenhliziyo ephambeneyo katholi okuhle, lophambene ngolimi uwela ebubini.
21 Kuva nomwanakomana benzi kunouyisa kurwadziwa; baba vebenzi havana mufaro.
Ozala isithutha, sizakuba lusizi kuye; loyise wesithutha kathokozi.
22 Mwoyo wakafara mushonga wakanaka, asi mweya wakaputsika unoomesa mapfupa.
Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza kuhle njengomuthi, kodwa umoya owephukileyo womisa amathambo.
23 Munhu akaipa anogamuchira fufuro muchivande, kuti aminamise nzira dzokururamisira.
Omubi uthatha isipho esifubeni ukuphambula izindlela zesahlulelo.
24 Munhu ane njere anoisa uchenjeri pamberi, asi meso ebenzi anosvika kumagumo enyika.
Inhlakanipho iphambi koqedisisayo, kodwa amehlo esithutha asekucineni komhlaba.
25 Mwanakomana benzi anorwadzisa baba vake, uye anoitisa shungu uyo akamubereka.
Indodana eyisiwula ilusizi kuyise, iyikubaba kowayizalayo.
26 Hazvina kunaka kuranga munhu asina mhosva, kana kurova machinda nokuda kwokururama kwavo.
Ukuhlawulisa olungileyo lakho kakulunganga, lokutshaya iziphathamandla ngenxa yobuqotho.
27 Munhu ano ruzivo anoshandisa mashoko achizvidzora, uye munhu anonzwisisa akadzikama.
Owazi ulwazi ugodla amazwi akhe; umuntu oqedisisayo ulomoya opholileyo.
28 Kunyange benzi, kana rakanyarara, rinonzi rakachenjera, uye rikabata muromo waro rinonzi rakangwara.
Isithutha esithuleyo laso sithiwa sihlakaniphile; ovala indebe zakhe uthiwa uyaqedisisa.
