Amazwi Ezihlakaniphi: Isigaba Sesithathu (4)
1 Izikhohlakali zibaleka
noma kungekho ozixoshayo,
kepha abalungileyo banesibindi njengengonyama.
2 Ngenxa yesiphambeko sezwe, linezikhulu eziningi,
kepha ngomuntu onokuqonda nonolwazi liyakuma.
3 Umuntu oswelayo kodwa acindezele abampofu,
unjengemvula ekhukhula ingashiyi kudla.
4 Abalahla umthetho batusa izikhohlakali,
kepha abagcina umthetho balwa nazo.
5 Abantu ababi ababuqondi ubulungiswa,
kodwa abafuna uSimakade, bakuqonda konke.
6Ungcono ompofu ohamba ngobuqotho,
kunocebileyo ohamba ngezindlela ezigwegwile.
7Ogcina umthetho uyindodana ehlakaniphileyo,
kanti ongumngani weziminzi uhlazisa uyise.
8 Owandisa ingcebo ngenzalo nangenzuzo
ethe xaxa,
uyiqoqela onomusa kwabampofu.
9 Ofulathelisa indlebe yakhe ekulaleleni umthetho
nomkhuleko wakhe, uyisinengiso.
10 Oyengela abaqotho endleleni embi,
nguyena oyokhalakathela emgodini,
kepha abangenasici bayodla ifa elihle.
11Ocebileyo uhlakaniphile emehlweni akhe,
kodwa ompofu onokuqonda
uyamhlolisisa, ambone.
12 Lapho abaqotho bethokoza,
kuba nodumo olukhulu,
kodwa uma izikhohlakali ziphakama,
abantu bayacasha.
13 Ofihla iziphambeko zakhe akayukuphumelela,
kepha ozivumayo azishiye uyakuthola umusa.
14 Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba njalo,
kepha oyenza lukhuni inhliziyo yakhe
uyakuwela ebubini.
15 Umbusi okhohlakele obusa abampofu,
unjengengonyama ebhodlayo
nebhele elihahayo.
16 Umbusi ongenakuqonda ungumcindezeli ononya,
kodwa ozonda inzuzo engalungile
uyophila isikhathi eside.
17 Umuntu osindwa yigazi lomunye,
uyakubaleka kuze kube segodini;
makangasizwa muntu.
18 Ohamba ngobuqotho uzophepha,
kepha ohamba ngezindlela ezigwegwile
uyokuwa kwenye yazo.
19 Olima insimu yakhe
uyosuthiswa ngukudla,
kepha olandela amayiyane,
uyosutha ubumpofu.
20 Owethembekileyo uyolandelwa yizibusiso,
kepha oceba ngokushesha
akayukuyekwa angajeziswa.
21 Ukwenzelela akukuhle,
kepha ngocezwana nje lwesinkwa
umuntu angenza okubi.
22Umuntu onomona uyashesha ukuceba,
kodwa akazi ukuthi ubuphofu buyakufika kuye.
23 Osola umuntu uyakuthola ngasemuva isisa
kunothopha ngolimi lwakhe.
24 Ophanga uyise nonina, ethi:
“Akusiso isiphambeko,”
yena ungumngani wombhubhisi.
25Umuntu ozazisayo udala ingxabano,
kodwa owethembela kuSimakade uyakucetshiswa.
26 Owethembela enhliziyweni yakhe uyisiwula,
kepha ohamba ngokuhlakanipha uyakhululwa.
27 Opha ompofu akayukuswela,
kepha ositheza amehlo akhe
uyakuba neziqalekiso eziningi.
28 Lapho izikhohlakali zivuka
abantu bayacasha,
kepha ngokubhubha kwazo
abalungileyo bayanda.
