Izaga 22
1Igama elihle lingcono ukukhetha kunengcebo eningi, nomusa kunesiliva negolide.
2Abacebileyo nabampofu bayahlangana: uJehova unguMdali wakho konke.
3Umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uyabona ububi, acashe, kepha abangenalwazi bayaqhubeka, bajeziswe.
4Ngokuthobeka nokumesaba uJehova kuyingcebo nodumo nokuphila.
5Ameva nezingibe kusendleleni yababi; ogcina umphefumulo wakhe ukude nakho.
6Fundisa umntwana indlela ekufanele ahambe ngayo, futhi lapho esekhulile ngeke aphambuke kuyo.
7Ocebileyo ubusa ompofu, nobolekayo yisigqila somboleki.
8Ohlwanyela ububi uyakuvuna okuyize, nenduku yolaka lwakhe iyophela.
9Oleso eligcweleyo uzabusiswa; ngoba upha abayanga isinkwa sakhe.
10Xosha isideleli, kuphume ukuxabana; yebo, ukuxabana nokuhlambalaza kuyophela.
11Othanda ukuhlanzeka kwenhliziyo, ngenxa yomusa wezindebe zakhe inkosi iyakuba ngumngane wakhe.
12Amehlo kaJehova agcina ukwazi, kepha amazwi ohlubukayo uyawachitha.
13Ivila lathi: “Kukhona ingonyama ngaphandle, ngiyakubulawa emigwaqweni.”
14Umlomo wowesifazane ongaziwa ungumgodi ojulile; omenyanya uJehova uyakuwela kulo.
15Ubuwula buboshiwe enhliziyweni yomntwana; kepha induku yokujezisa iyoyidedisela kude naye.
16Ocindezela ompofu ukuze andise inotho yakhe, nopha ocebileyo uyakuswela.
17Beka indlebe yakho uzwe amazwi abahlakaniphileyo, uqondise inhliziyo yakho ekwazini kwami.
18Ngokuba kuhle uma uwagcina phakathi kwakho; zizolingana nezindebe zakho.
19Ukuze ithemba lakho libe kuJehova, ngikwazisile nakini namuhla.
20Angikubhalelanga yini okuhle kakhulu ngesiluleko nangokwazi,
21ukuze nginazise isiqiniseko samazwi eqiniso; ukuze uphendule amazwi eqiniso kulabo abakuthumayo?
22Ungamphangi ompofu, ngokuba empofu; ungacindezeli ompofu esangweni.
23Ngokuba uJehova uyakuyilwela indaba yabo, achithe umphefumulo wabaphangayo.
24Ungazihlanganisi nomuntu onolaka; futhi ungahambi nomuntu othukuthele.
25Funa ufunde izindlela zakhe, uthole ugibe lomphefumulo wakho.
26Ungabi phakathi kwalabo abashaya izandla noma phakathi kwalabo abayizibambiso zezikweletu.
27Uma ungenalutho lokukhokha, kungani ethatha umbhede wakho ngaphansi kwakho na?
28Ungasusi isikhonkwane esidala oyihlo abasimisayo.
29Uyambona umuntu okhuthele emsebenzini wakhe? uyakuma phambi kwamakhosi; angeke ame phambi kwabantu abakhohlakele.
