Zvirevo 20
1 Waini museki uye doro mupopoti; ani naani anotsauswa nazvo haana kuchenjera.
Iwayini lenza ukudelela lotshwala buyaxabanisa, okhohliswa yilezi izinto kahlakaniphanga.
2 Kutsamwa kwamambo kwakafanana nokuomba kweshumba; uyo anomutsamwisa anotadzira upenyu hwake.
Ulaka lwenkosi lunjengokubhonga kwesilwane; lowo oyizondisayo udela impilo yakhe.
3 Munhu achakudzwa kana akagara kure nokukakavara, asi benzi rimwe nerimwe rinokurumidza kupopota.
Kumupha udumo umuntu ukubalekela ukuxabana, kodwa iziphukuphuku zonke ziphangisa ukuthenga inkani.
4 Simbe hairimi mumwaka wokurima; saka panguva yokukohwa anotsvaka asi hapana chaanowana.
Ivila kalilimi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo; kuthi ngesikhathi sokuvuna liswele amabele.
5 Zvinangwa zvomwoyo womunhu imvura yakadzika, asi munhu akachenjera achaichera.
Izifiso zenhliziyo yomuntu zingamanzi azikileyo, kodwa umuntu ozwisisayo uyazifinyelela.
6 Vanhu vazhinji vanoti vane rudo rusingagumi, asi munhu akatendeka angawanikwa kupiko?
Banengi abathi balothando olungapheliyo, kodwa ngubani ongamthola umuntu othembekileyo na?
7 Munhu akarurama anorarama upenyu hwakanaka; vana vake vanomutevera vakaropafadzwa.
Umuntu olungileyo uphila impilo encomekayo; babusisiwe abantwabakhe abamfuzayo.
8 Kana mambo achinge agara pachigaro chake kuti atonge, anopepeta zvakaipa zvose nameso ake.
Inkosi nxa ihlezi esihlalweni sayo isahlulela, iyakuhlungula konke okubi ngamehlo ayo.
9 Ndiani angati, “Ndakachengeta mwoyo wangu wakachena; ndakachena uye handina zvivi”?
Ngubani ongathi, “Ngiyigcinile inhliziyo yami imhlophe; ngihlanzekile kangilasono?”
10 Zviereso zvakasiyana nezvipimo zvakasiyana Jehovha anozvivenga zvose.
Izisindo ezitshiyanayo lezilinganiso ezitshiyanayo uThixo uyakuzonda kokubili.
11 Kunyange mwana anozivikanwa nezvaanoita, kuti tsika dzake dzakanaka uye kuti dzakarurama here.
Lomntwana waziwa ngezenzo zakhe, ngokuthi isimilo sakhe sihle, siqotho.
12 Nzeve dzinonzwa nameso anoona, Jehovha ndiye akazviita zvose zviri zviviri.
Indlebe ezizwayo lamehlo abonayo kokubili kwenziwa nguThixo.
13 Usafarira kurara kana kuti uchava murombo; svinudza meso ako ipapo uchava nezvokudya zvakawanda.
Ungathandani lobuthongo uzakuba ngumyanga, hlala uvukile uzakuba lokudla okunengi.
14 “Hazvina kunaka, hazvina kunaka!” ndizvo zvinotaura mutengi; ipapo hoyo oenda achizvirumbidza pamusoro pezvaatenga.
“Kubi, kubi!” kutsho umthengi; esuka lapho usezincoma ngakuthengileyo.
15 Goridhe riripo, uye matombo anokosha amarubhi azere, asi miromo inotaura zivo ndicho chinhu chinokosha chisipo.
Likhona igolide lamatshe aligugu amanengi, kodwa izindebe ezikhuluma ulwazi zilivelakancane.
16 Mutorerei nguo yake, uyo anoitira mutorwa rubatso; itorei sorubatso kana azviitira mukadzi asingazvibati.
Thatha isembatho salowo owenzela owezizweni isibambiso; sigcine nxa ebambisela owesifazane ongaziphathanga.
17 Zvokudya zvakawanikwa nokunyengera zvinonaka kumunhu, asi achapedzisira ava nomukanwa mazara jecha.
Ukudla okuzuzwe ngenkohliso kumnandi emuntwini, kodwa kucina sekungathi udla itshebetshebe.
18 Ita urongwa nokutsvaga mazano; kana uchironga hondo, tsvaka kutungamirirwa.
Nxa usenza amacebo dinga izeluleko; nxa usiyahlasela zuza ukuqondiswa.
19 Guhwa rinoputsa chivimbo; saka furatira munhu anotaurisa.
Onyeyayo uyehluleka ukugcina imfihlo, ngakho yehlukana lomuntu okhuluma angathuli.
20 Kana munhu akatuka baba vake kana mai vake, mwenje wake uchadzimwa parima guru.
Nxa umuntu ethuka uyise loba unina, isibane sakhe sizacinywa abesemnyameni omubi.
21 Nhaka yakakurumidza kuwanikwa pakutanga haingaropafadzwi pamagumo ayo.
Ilifa elizuzwa lula ekuqaleni alilakubusiswa ekucineni.
22 Usati, “Ndichatsiva zvawanditadzira izvi!” Mirira Jehovha, uye iye achakubatsira.
Ungabokuthi, “Lami ngizakulungisa ngalokhu ongenze khona!” Yekela, uThixo nguye ozakusiza.
23 Jehovha anovenga zviereso zvinosiyana, uye zviero zvinonyengera hazvimufadzi.
UThixo uyazizonda izilinganiso eziguquguqulwayo, njalo kathokoziswa yizikali zokudlelezela.
24 Kufamba kwomunhu kunotungamirirwa naJehovha. Zvino munhu anganzwisisa sei nzira yake?
Izinyathelo zomuntu zikhokhelwa nguThixo. Pho umuntu angayazi kanjani na indlela yakhe?
25 Musungo kumunhu kuti akumikidze chimwe chinhu nokukurumidza uye ozorangarira mhiko dzake pava paya.
Yikuzithiya ukuthembisa ngokuphangisa ukupha ulutho, phambili umuntu aphinde azisole ngalesosifungo.
26 Mambo akachenjera anopepeta zvakaipa; anofambisa vhiri rokupura pamusoro pavo.
Inkosi ehlakaniphileyo iyabahlungula ababi; iyabahadla njengelitshe lokuchola.
27 Mwenje waJehovha unonzvera mweya womunhu; unonzvera zviri mukatikati make.
Isibane sikaThixo siyawuhlolisisa umphefumulo womuntu; sihlolisisa ekujuleni kwemibilini yakhe.
28 Rudo nokutendeka zvinochengetedza mambo; kubudikidza norudo chigaro chake chinosimbiswa.
Uthando lokwethembeka kuyayivikela inkosi; ngothando isihlalo sayo sobukhosi sivikelekile.
29 Kukudzwa kwamajaya ndiro simba ravo, bvudzi jena kubwinya kwavakwegura.
Udumo lwamajaha lusemandleni awo, izimvu zekhanda ziyinkazimulo yabadala.
30 Kurohwa nokukuvadzwa zvinobvisa zvakaipa, uye kurohwa neshamhu kunovaka munhu womukati.
Izidutshulo lamanxeba kugezisa okubi, lezibhaxulo zihlambulula ingaphakathi.
