IMIZEKELISO 17
17
1Iqhekeza elomileyo lesonka, kunye nokuchulumacha, lilungile
Ngaphezu kwendlu ezele yimibingelelo, enembambano.
2Umkhonzi onengqiqo uya kumlawula unyana owenza okuziintloni,
Ahlule ilifa phakathi kwabazalwana.
3Ukhamba lolokunyibilikisa isilivere; iziko lelokunyibilikisa igolide;
Umcikidi weentliziyo nguYehova.
4Onobubi uwubazela indlebe umlomo onenkohliso,
Uphulaphula ubuxoki obuselulwimini olweyeliselayo.
5Ogculela ihlwempu ungcikiva uMenzi walo;
Ovuyela inkxwaleko akabi msulwa.
6Isithsaba samadoda amakhulu ngoonyana boonyana;
Isihombo soonyana ngooyise.
7Ayisifanele isidenge intetho ekhukhumeleyo;
Yobeka phi na ke ukungalifaneli inene intetho ebubuxoki.
8Sililitye elinqabileyo emehlweni omninilo isicengo,
Apho asukuba ebheka khona, wenza ngengqiqo.
9Ugubungela isikreqo ofuna uthando;
Ophinda ayithethe into wahlula amakholwane.
10Ukukhalinyelwa kuyangena konengqondo
Ngaphezu kwemivumbo elikhulu kosisinyabi.
11Oneenkani ufuna ububi bodwa;
Ngoko ke uthunyelwa umthunywa osisijorha.
12Kanye qubisana nebhere• ehluthwe amathole ayo,
Ungaqubisani nesinyabi ekumatheni kwaso.
13Obuyekeza okubi esikhundleni sokulungileyo,
Àbuyi kusuka ububi endlwini yakhe.
14Kukuvulela amanzi ukuqala kwengxabano;
Yiyeke imbambano kungekavunganyelwana.
15Omgwebelayo ongendawo, kwanoligwebayo ilungisa,
Bangamasikizi kuYehova bobabini.
16Lelokwenzani na inani elisesandleni sesinyabi, lokurhweba ubulumko,
Singenantliziyo nje?
17Umhlobo uthanda ngamaxesha onke;
Umzalwana uzalelwe imbandezelo.
18Umntu oswele intliziyo ngobambana nomnye ngesandla,
Ngomela umelo phambi kowabo.
19Uthanda ukreqo othanda ukulwa;
Owuphakamisayo umnyango wakhe ufuna ukuqhekeka.
20Ontliziyo ijibilizayo akayi kukufumana okulungileyo;
Ophenduka ngolwimi lwakhe weyela ebubini.
21Ozala isinyabi uzizalela isingqala;
Akanaluvuyo uyise wesidenge.
22Intliziyo evuyileyo iyalungisa, ichachise;
Umoya odakumbileyo uyawomisa amathambo.
23Ongendawo wamkela isicengo esivela esondweni lengubo,
Ukuze agqwethe indlela esesikweni.
24Ubuso bonengqondo bubheke ebulumkweni;
Ke amehlo esinyabi asekupheleni kwehlabathi.
25Úbubuhlungu bukayise unyana osisinyabi;
Úbubukrakra kumzalikazi wakhe.
26Àkulungile ukuhlawulisa nelungisa,
Nokubetha amanene ngenxa yokuthe tye.
27-28Owanqandayo amazwi akhe unokwazi:
Omoya upholileyo yindoda enengqondo.
Kwanesimathane, ukuba sihleli sathi tu, kuthiwa sisilumko;
Singàwuvingca umlomo waso, kuthiwa sinengqondo.
