1Ngubani umuntfu lonjengalohlakaniphile?
Ngubani lowati inchazelo yetintfo?
Inhlakanipho ikhanyisa buso bemuntfu
igucule kunyukubala kwebuso bakhe.
Hlonipha inkhosi
2 Ngitsi hlonipha umyalo wenkhosi ngenca yesifungo lowasenta kuNkulunkulu. 3 Ungasheshi usuke embikwenkhosi. Ungacali futsi ukusukumele lokubi, ngobe itakwenta nome ngabe yini leyikutsandzako. 4 Njengobe livi lenkhosi liyabusa, ngubani longasho kuyo atsi: “Yini lena loyentako?”
5Lohlonipha umyalo wenkhosi,
kute lokungamfaka engotini.
Umuntfu lohlakaniphile
uyati enhlitiyweni yakhe
sikhatsi lesilungile nendlela lekahle
yekwenta tintfo.
6 Ngobe yonkhe indzaba
inesikhatsi sayo nendlela yayo,
noko lusizi lwemuntfu
luhlala lumatima etikwakhe.
7 Njengobe kute umuntfu lowati likusasa lakhe
kutsi limphatseleni,
ngubani nje longasho kutsi yini letakwenteka?
8 Kute umuntfu lonemandla ekubamba umoya,
futsi kute nalonemandla
ekujikisa lilanga lekufa kwakhe.
Njengobe kute umuntfu
lokhululekile nakuliwa imphi,
kanjalo futsi nebubi
bungeke bubakhulule labo lababentako.
9Konkhe loku ngakubona ngisacabangisisa ngako konkhe lokwenteka lapha ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga. Sikhona sikhatsi lapho umuntfu usuke atihlisibete etikwalabanye kantsi utilimata yena. 10Ngase ngabona lababi, babengcwatjwa, labo babephuma bangena endzaweni lengcwele babatjatwe badvunyiswe edolobheni lapho bebakwenta khona loko. Nako loko kulite.
11 Ngenca yekutsi sigwebo sentfo lembi siyephuta kukhishwa, tinhlitiyo tebantfu setihlosa kwenta bubi ngesibindzi. 12 Nome lomubi enta bubi kalikhulu, achubeke aphile sikhatsi lesidze, ngiyati kutsi kuyakubahambela kahle labo labesaba Nkulunkulu, bahloniphe Nkulunkulu. 13Kodvwa kungeke kubahambele kahle lababi, futsi imphilo yabo ingeke yeluleke njengematfunti, ngobe bangamesabi Nkulunkulu.
14 Kukhona lokunye lokulite lokwentekako lapha emhlabeni: Kukhona bantfu labalungile labehlelwa nguloko lokufanele kwehlele lababi, kantsi futsi kukhona nalababi labehlelwa nguloko lokufanele kwehlele labalungile. Ngatsi nako loko kulite.
15 Ngako mine ngincoma kutsi umuntfu kufanele atijabulise ngekuphila kwakhe, ngobe umuntfu ute lutfo loluhle lapha ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga, ngaphandle kwekutsi adle, anatse, atijabulise; ngobe loku kuyawuhlala kukuye kuwo wonkhe umshikashika wekuphila kwakhe, Nkulunkulu lamuphe wona lapha ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga.
16Ngatsi nangitimisela engcondvweni yami kufunisisa kwati nekuhlakanipha nekutfolisisa kutsi yini umshikashika lowentiwa ngumuntfu emhlabeni, angalali emini nebusuku, 17 ngayibona yonkhe imisebenti yaNkulunkulu kutsi umuntfu angeke ayicondze yonkhe imisebenti leyentiwako lapha ngaphansi kwemtfunti welilanga. Nome umuntfu angatihlupha kangakanani afunisisa, angeke ayicondze; nome lohlakaniphile angatsi yena uyati, angeke ayicondze.
