Izaga zikaSolomoni 17

Izaga 17
1Isiqephu esomile esinokuthula singcono kunendlu egcwele iminikelo nokuxabana.
2Inceku ehlakaniphileyo iyobusa phezu kwendodana ehlazisayo, futhi iyoba nesabelo sefa phakathi kwabafowabo.
3Ikhanzi ngeyesiliva, nesithando ngesegolide, kepha uJehova uhlola izinhliziyo.
4Umuntu omubi uyazinaka izindebe zamanga; nomqambimanga ulalela ulimi olubi.
5Oklolodela ompofu usola uMenzi wakhe; futhi lowo ojabulela izinhlekelele ngeke angajeziswa.
6Abazukulu bangumqhele wabantu abadala; nenkazimulo yabantwana ingoyise.
7Inkulumo enhle kakhulu ayenzi isiwula, kakhulu kangakanani isikhulu sezindebe zamanga.
8Isipho sinjengetshe eliyigugu emehlweni alowo onakho;
9Osibekela isiphambeko ufuna uthando; kepha ophinda indaba wehlukanisa abangane abaningi.
10Ukukhuzwa kuyeza kumuntu ohlakaniphileyo kunemivimbo eyikhulu koyisiwula.
11Omubi ufuna ukuhlubuka kuphela; ngakho-ke kuyothunyelwa isithunywa esinonya kuye.
12Umuntu makahlangabeze ibhere elilahlekelwe amawundlu alo kunesiwula ebuwula baso.
13Lowo ophindisela okubi ngokuhle, ububi abuyikusuka endlini yakhe.
14Ukuqala kokuxabana kunjengokuvulela amanzi; ngakho shiya ingxabano ngaphambi kokuphazamisa.
15Othethelela omubi, nolahla olungileyo, bayisinengiso kuJehova bobabili.
16Kungani kukhona umvuzo esandleni sesiwula ukuze sizuze ukuhlakanipha, njengoba singenanhliziyo yakho?
17Umngane uthanda ngezikhathi zonke, nomzalwane uzalelwa ukuhlupheka.
18Umuntu ongaqedisisiyo uxhawula izandla njalo abe yisibambiso phambi komngane wakhe.
19Uthanda iziphambeko othanda ukuxabana, lophakamisa isango lakhe ufuna ukubhujiswa.
20Onenhliziyo embi akatholi lutho oluhle; onolimi olubi uwela ebubini.
21Ozala isiwula wenzela usizi lwakhe, noyise wesiwula akathokozi.
22Inhliziyo ethokozayo iyaphilisa, kepha umoya owaphukileyo womisa amathambo.
23Omubi uthatha isipho esifubeni ukuze aphendukezele izindlela zokwahlulela.
24Ukuhlakanipha kuphambi konengqondo; kodwa amehlo esiwula asemikhawulweni yomhlaba.
25Indodana eyisiwula ilusizi kuyise, nomunyu koyizalayo.
26Futhi akukuhle ukujezisa olungileyo, nokuchitha izikhulu ngenxa yobuqotho.
27Lowo onolwazi uyawagodla amazwi akhe, nomuntu onokuqonda unomoya omuhle.
28Ngisho nesiwula, uma sithula, kuthiwa sihlakaniphile; ovala umlomo uthathwa njengomuntu oqedisisayo.
