< Zvirevo 29 >
1 Munhu anoramba akaomesa mutsipa wake mushure mokutsiurwa kazhinji achaparadzwa nokukurumidza, kusina chingamubatsira.
Umuntu othi ekhuzwa kanengi aqinise intamo, uzahle ephulwe, njalo kungabi lakusiliswa.
2 Kana vakarurama vachiwanda, vanhu vanofara; asi kana vakaipa vachitonga, vanhu vanogomera.
Lapho abalungileyo besanda, abantu bayathokoza, kodwa lapho okhohlakeleyo ebusa, abantu bayabubula.
3 Munhu anoda uchenjeri anouyisa mufaro kuna baba vake, asi anoshamwaridzana nechifeve anoparadza pfuma yake.
Umuntu othanda inhlakanipho uthokozisa uyise, kodwa ohlanganyela lamawule uchitha inotho.
4 Nokururamisira mambo anosimbisa nyika, asi uyo anokara fufuro anoiparadza.
Inkosi iqinisa ilizwe ngesahlulelo, kodwa umuntu wezipho uyalichitha.
5 Ani naani anonyengera muvakidzani wake anodzikira tsoka dzake mumbure.
Umuntu olalisa ngolimi umakhelwane wakhe wendlalela izinyawo zakhe imbule.
6 Munhu akaipa anoteyiwa nezvivi zvake, asi munhu akarurama anogona kuimba uye agofara.
Esiphambekweni somuntu omubi kulomjibila, kodwa olungileyo uyamemeza ngenjabulo ethokoza.
7 Vakarurama vane hanya nokururamisirwa kwavarombo, asi vakaipa havana hanya naizvozvo.
Olungileyo uyalwazi udaba lwabayanga; okhohlakeleyo kananzeleli ulwazi.
8 Vatuki vanomutsa bope muguta, asi vanhu vakachenjera vanodzora kutsamwa.
Abantu abadelelayo bayawuthungela umuzi, kodwa abahlakaniphileyo badedisa ulaka.
9 Kana munhu akachenjera akaenda kumatare nebenzi, benzi rinotsamwa uye rigotuka, zvokuti hapangavi norugare.
Umuntu ohlakaniphileyo emangalelana lomuntu oyisithutha, loba elolaka, loba ehleka, kakulakuthula.
10 Vanhu vanofarira kudeura ropa vanovenga munhu akarurama, uye vanotsvaka kuuraya vakarurama.
Abantu abomele igazi bazonda opheleleyo, kodwa abaqotho badinga umphefumulo wakhe.
11 Benzi rinobudisa hasha dzaro dzose, asi munhu akachenjera anozvibata.
Isithutha sikhupha umoya waso wonke, kodwa ohlakaniphileyo uyawuthiba.
12 Kana mutongi akateerera nhema machinda ake ose achava akaipa.
Umbusi olalela amazwi amanga, zonke izinceku zakhe zikhohlakele.
13 Murombo nomunhu anomanikidza vakafanana pachinhu ichi: Jehovha ndiye anoita kuti meso avo vose aone.
Umyanga lomuntu wencindezelo bayahlangana; iNkosi ikhanyisa amehlo abo bobabili.
14 Kana mambo akatonga varombo nokururamisira, chigaro chake choushe chinogara chakachengetedzeka nguva dzose.
Inkosi eyahlulela abayanga ngothembeko, isihlalo sayo sobukhosi sizamiswa phakade.
15 Shamhu yokuranga inopa uchenjeri, asi mwana anosiyiwa akadaro achanyadzisa mai vake.
Uswazi lokukhuza kunika inhlakanipho, kodwa umntwana oyekelelwayo uthelela unina inhloni.
16 Kana vakaipa vachiwanda, nezvivi zvinowandawo, asi vakarurama vachaona kuwa kwavo.
Lapho abakhohlakeleyo besanda, isiphambeko siyanda, kodwa abalungileyo bazabona ukuwa kwabo.
17 Ranga mwanakomana wako, ipapo achakupa rugare; achauyisa mufaro kumweya wako.
Laya indodana yakho, izakuphumuza; yebo, izanika izinjabulo emphefumulweni wakho.
18 Pasina chizaruro, vanhu vanoramba kuzvidzora; asi akaropafadzwa uyo anochengeta murayiro.
Lapho okungelambono khona, abantu babengabambeki; kodwa ubusisiwe ogcina umlayo.
19 Muranda haarayirwi namashoko zvawo chete, nokuti kunyange achinzwisisa, haangadaviri.
Inceku kayilaywa ngamazwi; lanxa iqedisisa, kayiyikuphendula.
20 Unoona here munhu anotaura achikurumidza? Benzi rine tariro zhinji kupfuura iye.
Uyambona yini umuntu ophangisa ngamazwi akhe? Kulethemba elingcono esithutheni kulaye.
21 Kana munhu akaregerera muranda wake kubva paudiki, achazotarisira kodzero dzomwanakomana pakupedzisira.
Ototoza inceku yakhe kusukela ebuntwaneni, ekucineni izakuba yindodana kuye.
22 Munhu akashatirwa anomutsa kupesana, uye munhu ane hasha anoita zvivi zvizhinji.
Umuntu ololaka ubanga ukuxabana, lomuntu ovutha intukuthelo wandisa isiphambeko.
23 Kuzvikudza kwomunhu kunomudzikisira pasi, asi munhu ane mweya wokuzvininipisa achawana kukudzwa.
Ukuzigqaja komuntu kuzamehlisa, kodwa olomoya othobekileyo uzabamba udumo.
24 Anoshamwaridzana nembavha anozvivenga iye pachake; anoiswa pasi pemhiko, asi haangakwanisi kupa uchapupu.
Owabelana lesela uzonda umphefumulo wakhe; uzwa isiqalekiso, angakhulumi.
25 Kutya munhu kuchava musungo, asi ani naani anovimba naJehovha achagara akachengetedzeka.
Ukwesaba abantu kuletha umjibila, kodwa othemba eNkosini uzabekwa phezulu evikelekile.
26 Vazhinji vanotsvaka nyasha kumutongi, asi kururamisirwa kwomunhu kunobva kuna Jehovha.
Abanengi badinga ubuso bombusi, kodwa isahlulelo salowo lalowo sivela eNkosini.
27 Vakarurama vanovenga vasina kutendeka; vakaipa vanovenga vakarurama.
Umuntu ongalunganga uyisinengiso kwabalungileyo, kodwa oqotho endleleni uyisinengiso kokhohlakeleyo.
