< Zvirevo 8 >
1 Ko, uchenjeri hahudanidziri here? Kunzwisisa hakusimudziri inzwi rako here?
Inhlakanipho kayimemezi yini, lokuqedisisa kukhuphe ilizwi lakho?
2 Panzvimbo dzakakwirira panzira, pamharadzano dzenzira, ndipo pahumire;
Engqongeni yezindawo eziphakemeyo, ngasendleleni, phakathi kwezindlela kumi.
3 parutivi rwamasuo okupinda muguta, pamikova, hunodanidzirisa huchiti,
Eceleni kwamasango, entubeni yomuzi, ekungeneni kweminyango kuyamemeza kakhulu kuthi:
4 “Kwamuri, imi varume, ndinodanidzira; ndinosimudzira inzwi rangu kuvanhu vose.
Kini, madoda, ngiyamemeza, lelizwi lami lisebantwaneni babantu.
5 Imi vasina mano, wanai uchenjeri; imi mapenzi, wanai kunzwisisa.
Lina elingelalwazi, qedisisani inhlakanipho; lani zithutha, qedisisani ngenhliziyo.
6 Teererai, nokuti ndine zvinhu zvinokosha zvokutaura; ndinozarura muromo wangu kuti nditaure zvakarurama.
Zwanini, ngoba ngizakhuluma izinto zobukhosi, lokuvula kwendebe zami kuzakuba yikuqonda.
7 Muromo wangu unotaura zvokwadi, nokuti miromo yangu inovenga zvakaipa.
Ngoba umlomo wami ukhuluma iqiniso, lenkohlakalo iyisinengiso endebeni zami.
8 Mashoko ose omuromo wangu akarurama; hapana kana rimwe rakakombama kana rakaipa.
Wonke amazwi omlomo wami asekulungeni; kakukho okutshilekileyo lokugobileyo kuwo.
9 Kune ane njere ose zvawo akarurama, akarurama kuna avo vane zivo.
Wonke aqondile kulowo oqedisisayo, alungile kulabo abathola ulwazi.
10 Sarudza kurayira kwangu panzvimbo yesirivha, ruzivo panzvimbo yegoridhe rakaisvonaka,
Yemukelani ukufundisa kwami, hatshi isiliva, lolwazi kulegolide elikhethekileyo.
11 nokuti uchenjeri hunokosha kupfuura marubhi, uye hapana chaungada chingaenzaniswa nahwo.
Ngoba inhlakanipho ingcono kulamatshe amahle, lakho konke okufisekayo kakulakulinganiswa layo.
12 “Ini, uchenjeri ndinogara pamwe chete navakachenjera; ndine ruzivo nenjere.
Mina nhlakanipho ngihlala lokuqedisisa, ngithola ulwazi lamacebo.
13 Kutya Jehovha ndiko kuvenga zvakaipa; ndinovenga kuzvikudza namanyawi, maitiro akaipa nokutaura kunonyangadza.
Ukwesaba iNkosi kuyikuzonda ububi; ukuzigqaja, lokuziqhenya, lendlela embi, lomlomo wokuphambeka ngiyakuzonda.
14 Zano nokutonga kwakanaka ndezvangu; ndine kunzwisisa nesimba.
Iseluleko ngesami, lenhlakanipho eqotho; ngiyikuqedisisa; amandla ngawami.
15 Madzimambo anobata ushe neni uye vatongi vanodzika mirayiro yakarurama;
Ngami amakhosi ayabusa, lababusi bamisa ukulunga.
16 machinda anofambisa ushe neni, navakuru vose vanotonga panyika.
Ngami iziphathamandla ziyabusa, lezikhulu, bonke abehluleli bomhlaba.
17 Ndinoda avo vanondida, uye vaya vanonditsvaka vanondiwana.
Mina ngiyathanda abangithandayo, lalabo abangidingisisayo bazangithola.
18 Pfuma nokukudzwa zvineni, upfumi hunogara nokururama.
Inotho lodumo kukimi, inotho eqhubekayo lokulunga.
19 Chibereko changu chakanaka kupfuura goridhe rakaisvonaka; zvandinobereka zvinopfuura sirivha yakaisvonaka.
Isithelo sami singcono kulegolide, legolide elicwengekileyo, lokutholakalayo kwami kulesiliva esikhethekileyo.
20 Ndinofamba munzira dzokururama, pamakwara okururamisira,
Ngihamba endleleni yokulunga, phakathi kwemikhondo yesahlulelo;
21 ndichipa upfumi kuna avo vanondida, uye ndichiita kuti matura avo azare.
ukuthi ngenze abangithandayo badle ilifa lemfuyo; ngigcwalise iziphala zabo.
22 “Jehovha akandibudisa sebasa rake rokutanga pamabasa ake, kutangira mabasa ake akare;
INkosi, ngaba ngeyayo, ngaba yikuqala kwendlela yayo, ngaphambi kwemisebenzi yayo yendulo.
23 ndakagadzwa kubva pakusingaperi, kubva pakutanga, nyika isati yavapo.
Ngamiswa kwasephakadeni, kusukela ekuqaleni, kusukela emandulo omhlaba.
24 Makungwa asati avapo, ndakaberekwa, pasati pava nezvitubu zvine mvura zhinji;
Kungakabi khona izinziki ngasengizelwe, ingakabi khona imithombo enzima ngamanzi.
25 makomo asati aiswa munzvimbo dzawo, zvikomo zvisati zvavapo, ndakaberekwa,
Intaba zingakamiswa, kungakabi khona amaqaqa, ngasengizelwe.
26 asati aita nyika neminda kana guruva ripi zvaro renyika.
Ingakawenzi umhlaba lemimango, lokuqala kwentuli zomhlaba.
27 Ndakanga ndiripo paakaisa matenga munzvimbo dzawo, paakaita denderedzwa pamusoro pamakungwa,
Lapho ilungisa amazulu ngangikhonapho; lapho imisa umkhathi ngaphezu kwenziki;
28 paakaita makore kudenga uye paakasimbisa zvitubu zvamakungwa,
lapho imisa amayezi ngaphezulu; lapho iqinisa imithombo yenziki;
29 paakapa gungwa miganhu yaro kuti mvura dzirege kudarika zvaakarayira, uye paakateya nheyo dzenyika.
lapho imisela ulwandle umngcele walo ukuze amanzi angeqi umlayo wayo; lapho imisa izisekelo zomhlaba;
30 Ipapo ndini ndaiva mhizha parutivi rwake. Ndaigara ndichifara zuva nezuva, ndichifara nguva dzose pamberi pake,
khona ngangiseduze layo njengowakhuliswa yiyo, ngizintokozo zayo usuku ngosuku, ngithokoza phambi kwayo ngaso sonke isikhathi,
31 ndichifadzwa nenyika yake yose uye ndichifadzwa navanhu vose.
ngidlala elizweni lomhlaba wayo, lentokozo zami zisebantwaneni babantu.
32 “Saka zvino, vanakomana vangu, teererai kwandiri; vakaropafadzwa avo vanochengeta nzira dzangu.
Ngakho-ke, bantwana bami, ngizweni; ngoba babusisiwe abagcina indlela zami.
33 Teererai kurayira kwangu mugova vakachenjera; musakushayira hanya.
Zwanini ukulaya, lihlakaniphe, lingakudeli.
34 Akaropafadzwa munhu anoteerera kwandiri, anorinda mazuva ose pamasuo angu. Anomira pamukova womusuo wangu.
Ubusisiwe umuntu ongizwayo, alinde insuku ngensuku emasangweni ami, alinde emigubazini yeminyango yami.
35 Nokuti ani naani anondiwana anowana upenyu uye anogamuchira nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha.
Ngoba ongitholayo uthola impilo, azuze umusa eNkosini.
36 Asi ani naani asingandiwani anozvikuvadza; vose vanondivenga vanoda rufu.”
Kodwa owona kimi wona umphefumulo wakhe; bonke abangizondayo bathanda ukufa.
