Zvirevo 7
1 Mwanakomana wangu, chengeta mashoko angu ugoviga mirayiro yangu mauri.
Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi ami, uzibekele imilayo yami.
2 Chengeta mirayiro yangu ugorarama; uchengete dzidziso dzangu semboni yeziso rako.
Gcina imilayo yami, uphile, lomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yamehlo akho.
3 Uzvisungirire paminwe yako; uzvinyore pahwendefa yomwoyo wako.
Ukubophele eminweni yakho, kubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
4 Uti kuuchenjeri, “Uri hanzvadzi yangu,” uye uti kunzwisisa ndiyo hama yako;
Uthi kunhlakanipho: Ungudadewethu; ubize ukuqedisisa ngokuthi yisihlobo sakho;
5 zvichakuchengeta kure nomukadzi chifeve; kubva pamudzimai asingazvibati anokwezva namashoko ake.
ukuze kukugcine kumfazi wemzini, kowesifazana wemzini oyengayo ngamazwi akhe.
6 Napawindo remba yangu ndakatarira panze nomumagirazi.
Ngoba ewindini lendlu yami, ngeminxibo yewindi ngalunguza phandle,
7 Ndakaona pakati pavasina mano ndikacherechedza pakati pamajaya, rimwe jaya rakanga risina njere.
ngasengibona phakathi kwabangelalwazi, ngananzelela phakathi kwabatsha ijaha eliswele ingqondo,
8 Rakanga richidzika nomugwagwa pedyo nepakona yomukadzi uya, richifamba rakananga kumba kwake,
lisedlula esitaladeni eceleni kwengonsi yakhe, linyathela endleleni yendlu yakhe,
9 panguva yorubvunzavaeni, zuva ravira, kunze kwosviba.
kusihlwa, ngentambama yosuku, ebusuku obumnyama, lomnyama.
10 Ipapo mukadzi akabuda kuzosangana naye, akapfeka sechifeve uye azere nounyengeri.
Khangela-ke, owesifazana walihlangabeza, lesembatho sewule, elobuqili ngenhliziyo.
11 Anotaura noruzha uye anozvikudza, tsoka dzake hadzigari pamba;
Lo wayelomsindo, eyisiqholo; inyawo zakhe kazihlali endlini yakhe.
12 imwe nguva ari munzira, imwe nguva ari pazvivara. Anorindira pamakona ose.
Khathesi uphandle, abesesiba ezitaladeni, ecathama kuyo yonke ingonsi.
13 Akamubata ndokumutsvoda, uye nechiso chisina nyadzi akati:
Ngokunjalo walibamba, walanga, waqinisa ubuso bakhe, wathi kulo:
14 “Ndine zvipiriso zvokuwadzana kumba kwangu; nhasi ndazadzisa mhiko dzangu.
Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula ikimi; lamuhla sengibhadele izifungo zami.
15 Saka ndauya kuzosangana newe; ndanga ndichikutsvaka, zvino ndazokuwana!
Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ukukuhlangabeza, ngidingisise ubuso bakho; ngikutholile.
16 Ndawaridza mubhedha wangu machira ane mavara, anobva kuIjipiti.
Ngendlele umbheda wami ngezendlalo, ngamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu alemibalabala avela eGibhithe.
17 Ndasasa zvinonhuhwira pamubhedha wangu, zvinoti: mura, gavakava nesinamoni.
Ngifafazile umbheda wami ngemure, izinhlaba, lekinamoni.
18 Uya, tinwe tigute norudo kusvikira mangwanani; ngatifare zvedu norudo!
Woza, sizidakise ngothando kuze kuse, sizithokozise ngothando olukhulu.
19 Murume wangu haako kumba, akafamba rwendo rurefu.
Ngoba indoda kayikho endlini yayo, ihambile uhambo khatshana.
20 Akatakura homwe yake izere nemari uye haangadzoki kumba kusvikira pajenaguru.”
Ithethe isaka lemali esandleni sayo; ngosuku lwenyanga egcweleyo izakuza endlini yayo.
21 Namashoko okunyengetedza akamutsausa; akamukwezva nokutaura kwake kunonyengera.
Walihuga ngobunengi bemfundiso yakhe, walivumisa ngenkulumo zakhe ezincengayo.
22 Pakarepo akamutevera senzombe inoenda kundobayiwa, senondo inopinda mumusungo,
Lahle lamlandela njengenkabi isiya ekuhlatshweni, lanjengesiphukuphuku sisiya ekujezisweni esongweni lenqagala;
23 kusvikira museve wabaya chiropa chake, seshiri inokurumidza kupinda muugombe, asingazivi kuti zvichamuurayisa.
uze umtshoko uhlabe isibindi salo, njengenyoni iphangisela esifwini, ingazi ukuthi simelene lempilo yayo.
24 Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, teererai kwandiri; nyatsoteererai zvandinotaura.
Khathesi-ke, bantwana, ngizweni, lilalele amazwi omlomo wami.
25 Usarega mwoyo wako uchitsaukira kunzira dzake, kana kurasikira pamakwara ake.
Inhliziyo yakho kayingaphambukeli endleleni zakhe; ungaduhi emikhondweni yakhe.
26 Vazhinji vakakuvadzwa naye vakawisirwa pasi; vaakauraya vakawanda kwazvo.
Ngoba ubawisele phansi abanengi abalimeleyo, labo bonke ababuleweyo bakhe banengi.
