Umgomo Wezaga
1 Lezi yizaga zikaSolomoni,
indodana kaDavide,
inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.
2 Ngezokufunda ukuthi kuyini
ukuhlakanipha, nokufundisa
ukuqonda amazwi ajulile,
3 ukuthola ingqondo ekhanyiselwe,
ubulungiswa nobuqotho.
4 Zibanika ubuhlakani abangenakuqonda,
ulwazi nokuqaphela kwabasha,
5 ukunikeza ukuqonda izaga nezisho ezifihlakele,
izisho zabahlakaniphe kakhulu
neziphicaphicwano zabo,
6 ukuze aqonde izaga, nemizekeliso,
namazwi ezihlakaniphi.
7 Ukumesaba uSimakade
kuyisiqalo sobuhlakani.
Iziwula ziyakwedelela ukuhlakanipha nokuyalwa.
8 Ndodana yami,
lalela ukuqondisa kukayihlo,
ungayedeleli imfundiso kanyoko,
9 iyoba ngumqhele wobuhle ekhanda lakho,
nomgexo entanyeni yakho.
Iziyalo Eziqondene Nendodana
10 Ndodana yami,
uma izoni zikuyenga, ungavumi,
11 uma zithi kuwe:
“Woza, hamba nathi
ukuze sibalalele unyendle, ngaphandle kwesizathu,
sichithe igazi labangenacala!
12 Masibagwinye bezwa okwendawo yakwalasha,
sibaphonse egodini bephila.
13Siyozitholela yonke ingcebo eyigugu,
sigcwalise izindlu zethu ngempango,
14senze unkatho phakathi kwethu,
sabelane sonke sikhwameni sinye!”
15 Ndodana yami,
ungazibandakanyi nabo,
ungalubhadi unyawo lwakho ezindleleni zabo,
16 ngoba izinyawo zabo zigijimela ebubini,
bayashesha ukuchitha igazi.
17Ngokuba balendlalele ize inetha labo,
ukucupha ugibe izinyoni zonke zibuka.
18 Laba baqamekela elabo igazi,
balala unyendle belalela impilo yabo.
19 Zinjalo izindlela zabo bonke
abathola inzuzo ngokungafanele;
leyo nzuzo iyakuthatha impilo yomniniyo.
20 Ukuhlakanipha kuyampongoloza emigwaqweni,
kuyaqandula ezigcawini.
21 Kumemeza ezinkundleni nasemasangweni omuzi,
kukhuluma kuthi:
22 “Kuyoze kube nini ziwula ndini
nithanda ubuwula,
nani zedeleli, nithokoziswa ngukweyisa,
nani ziwula nizonda ulwazi na?
23 Buyani ngenxa yokusola kwami,
lalelani, manginithululele okusemoyeni wami,
nginazise amazwi ami.
24 Ngenxa yokuba ngimemezile, nenqaba,
ngininike isandla sami,
kodwa anizange ninake.
25 Anizinakanga zonke izeluleko zami,
anikwemukelanga ukusola kwami.
26 Ngakho-ke nami ngiyonihleka usulu
ngesikhathi nehlelwa yinhlekelele,
nginiklolodele lapho senigcwele uvalo.
27 Lapho kufika isiphepho esibhubhisayo,
nokwesaba kwenu sekufana nembubhiso,
nenhlekelelo yenu ifika njengesivunguvungu,
nalapho inhlupheko nosizi kunehlela,
28 khona bayakungibiza,
kodwa angiyukuphendula; bayakungifunisisa,
kodwa ngeke bangifumane,
29 ngenxa yokuba bazonde ulwazi,
bakhetha ukungamesabi uSimakade.
30 Abasilalelanga iseluleko sami,
bakudelela ukusola kwami.
31 Ngakho-ke bazokuvuna lokho abakutshalile,
basuthiswe yizithelo zobuqili babo.
32 Ukweduka kwabangenamqondo kuyakubabulala,
nokudembesela kweziwula kuyozibhubhisa.
33 Kodwa lowo ongilalelayo uyohlala ephephile,
angabi naluvalo lokwehlelwa ngokubi.”
