Taga 15

1 Imphendvulo letfobekile icitsa intfukutselo; kodvwa leyedzelelako nalenelulaka iyatfukutselisa.
2 Emavi emuntfu lohlakaniphile enta lwati lutsandzeke; kodvwa tilima titfulula bulima ngemlomo wato.
3 Emehlo aSimakadze abuka yonkhe indzawo, abone bonkhe bantfu labalungile nalabangakalungi.
4Emavi ekubuyisana angumutsi wekuphila; kodvwa emavi elulaka ephula umphefumulo.
5 Silima siyakwedzelela kuyalwa nguyise; kodvwa indvodzana leyemukela kuyalwa inekucondza.
6 Endlini yemuntfu lolungile kunemcebo lomnyenti; kodvwa inzuzo yalomubi iletsa inhlupheko.
7Emavi emuntfu lohlakaniphile andzisa lwati; kodvwa tinhlitiyo tetilima atinjalo.
8 Imihlatjelo lenikelwa ngulababi isinengiso kuSimakadze; kodvwa imithandazo yebantfu labetsembekile iyamjabulisa.
9 Simakadze uyayitondza indlela yekutiphatsa kwalomubi; kodvwa uyamtsandza lowo lohlose kwenta lokulungile.
10Umuntfu lowedukako ubuyiswa kamatima; kodvwa lowala kucondziswa uyawukufa.
11 Kufa nekubola kusemehlweni aSimakadze. Pho, umuntfu angayifihla kanjani imicabango yakhe kuSimakadze?
12 Tihlangananhloko atikufuni kucondziswa, tibalekelana nebantfu labahlakaniphile.
13 Inhlitiyo lejabulile yenta buso bujabule; kodvwa ngelusizi umoya uyephuka.
14Ingcondvo yemuntfu lohlakaniphile ifuna lwati; kodvwa tilima titondla ngebulima.
15Emalanga emuntfu lohluphekako mabi; kodvwa lonenhlitiyo lejabulile kuphila kwakhe kulidzili.
16 Kuncono kuba nalokuncane kanye nekwesaba Simakadze kunekuba nemcebo lomnyenti netinkhatsato tawo.
17 Kuncono kudla umbhidvo ngekuvana kunekudla inyama lenonile ngekutondzana.
18 Umuntfu lonenhlitiyo lencane ususa lutfutfuva; kodvwa umuntfu lobeketelako uletsa kuthula lapho kunembango khona.
19Indlela yelivila iyena, ivinjwe ngemanyeva; kodvwa indlela yemuntfu locotfo ifanana nemgwaco lomkhulu lokhanyako.
20 Indvodzana lehlakaniphile itfokotisa uyise; kodvwa silima siyamedzelela unina.
21 Umuntfu lokhohlakele ujatjuliswa bulima; kodvwa umuntfu lonekucondza akeduki.
22 Tinhloso atiphumeleli ngaphandle kweteluleko; kodvwa nangabe kunebeluleki labanyenti tiyakuphumelela.
23 Umuntfu uyajabula nakanika imphendvulo lengiyo. Maye! Kuhle kunika imphendvulo lefanele ngesikhatsi lesifanele!
24Umuntfu lohlakaniphile uhamba ngendlela yekuphila lecondze etulu, khona ateyigwema indlela yekufa leya phansi emangcwabeni.
25 Simakadze uyawubhidlita umuti wemuntfu lotigcabhako; kodvwa iminyele yendzawo yemfelokati uyayigcina.
26Imicabango lemibi isinengiso kuSimakadze; kodvwa emavi lalungile ayamjabulisa Simakadze.
27 Umuntfu lofuna inzuzo ngendlela lembi uletsa kuhlupheka ekhaya lakhe; kodvwa umuntfu lotondza kudizelwa uyawuphila.
28Umuntfu lolungile ucabanga kucala angakaphendvuli; kodvwa bantfu lababi batfulula bubi ngemilomo yabo.
29 Simakadze ukhashane nebantfu lababi; kodvwa uyayiva imithandazo yebantfu labalungile.
30Buso lobumamatsekako buyajabulisana, tindzaba letimnandzi ticinisa ematsambo.
31Umuntfu lolalelako nakekhutwako uyawuphila, uyawutivela asekhaya nasasemkhatsini webantfu labahlakaniphile.
32 Umuntfu longakunaki kuyalwa utedzelela yena matfupha; kodvwa lolalelako nayalwa ufundza kucondza.
33 Kwesaba Simakadze kufundzisa umuntfu kuhlakanipha. Nangabe umuntfu afuna kudvunyiswa, kufanele atitfobe kucala.
