1 Umuntfu uhlela tinhloso engcondvweni yakhe; kodvwa kutiphumisela ngelulwimi kuvela kuSimakadze.
2 Umuntfu angacabanga kutsi tonkhe tindlela takhe tinhle; kodvwa Simakadze wehlulela imicabango yakhe.
3 Yekelela konkhe lokwentako kuSimakadze, nakanjani tinhloso takho tiyawuphumelela.
4Konkhe Simakadze lakwentile kunesiphetfo sako, ngisho nalomubi umentele lilanga lakhe lekubhujiswa.
5 Umuntfu lotiphakamisako usinengiso kuSimakadze; nome kanjani uyawujeziswa.
6Ngekutinikela nekwetsembeka umuntfu uyawutfola kutsetselelwa, ngekwesaba Simakadze umuntfu uyawubalekela lokubi.
7Nangabe umuntfu ajabulisa Simakadze ngesimilo sakhe, Simakadze ubese wenta titsa takhe tihlalisane kahle naye.
8 Kuncono kutsi ube nalokuncane lokutfole ngekwetsembeka, kunekutsi ube nenzuzo lenkhulu loyitfole ngebubi.
9 Umuntfu angayihlela indlela yakhe; kodvwa nguSimakadze locondzisa tinyatselo takhe.
10Inkhosi ikhuluma ngeligunya lasezulwini, tehlulelo tayo atikhetsi.
11 Tikali letikala kahle taSimakadze, tonkhe tisindvo letisesikhwameni tingumsebenti wakhe.
12 Emakhosi ayakwenyanya kwenta bubi, ngobe umbuso usima ngekwenta lokulungile.
13 Bantfu labaneliciniso bajatjulelwa ngemakhosi; yebo, emakhosi atsandza bantfu labakhuluma liciniso.
14 Kutfukutsela kwenkhosi kunjengesitfunywa sekufa; kodvwa umuntfu lohlakaniphile uyayidvudvuta inhlitiyo yayo.
15 Inkhosi nayimoyitela, kusho imphilo lenhle; sisa sayo sinjengemafu emvula yasehlobo.
16 Kuncono kuzuza kuhlakanipha kunekuzuza igolide; kuncono nekukhetsa kucondza kunekuzuza isiliva.
17Bantfu labalungile bahamba ngendlela lekugegako lokubi, ngekwenta loko basuke baphephisa timphilo tabo.
18 Kutigcabha kwendvulela kufa, nemoya wekutiphakamisa wendvulela kuwa.
19Kuncono kuhlala nalabacindzetelwe ube phansi, kunekutsi ube nesabelo neticebi.
20 Umuntfu lonakekela umyalo naloko lakufundziswako uyaphumelela; nemuntfu lowetsemba Simakadze ubusisiwe.
21Umuntfu lohlakaniphile ngenhlitiyo watiwa ngekucondza kwakhe; bumnandzi bemavi akhe benta inkhulumo yakhe yemukeleke.
22 Kuhlakanipha kungumtfombo wekuphila kulabo labanako; kodvwa kubulima kwetama kufundzisa silima.
23Inhlitiyo yemuntfu lohlakaniphile iyakwati kukhetsa emavi, onkhe emavi lawakhulumako ayalandzeleka.
24Emavi lajabulisako afanana neluju, anambitseka kamnandzi aphilise umtimba.
25 Kukhona indlela lebonakala ilungile emehlweni emuntfu; kodvwa ekugcineni idvonselana ekufeni.
26Lutsandvo lwekudla lwemuntfu losisebenti lwenta sisebente ngemandla aso onkhe; ngobe kulamba kwaso kuyasibandzetela kusichubele embili.
27 Bantfu lababi bafunana netindlela tekuvisa labanye buhlungu, ngisho nemavi abo avutsa emalangabi ebubi.
28 Umuntfu loguculela lokuliciniso ususa luchuku nekulwa, umuntfu wenhlebo wehlukanisa bangani labetsembene.
29 Sidlova siwunga makhelwane waso, simholele etindleleni tekonakala.
30 Umuntfu loficelana liso usuke acondze bubi, nemuntfu losinekelana ematinyo usuke ahlose bubi.
31 Budzala bungumvuzo wemphilo yekulunga; timvu tingumchele walabalungile.
32 Kuncono kuba ngumuntfu lobeketelako kunekuba silwi. Uncono umuntfu lotibambako kunemncobi nemtfumbi wemadolobha.
33Bantfu bangayenta inkatho nabafuna intsandvo yaNkulunkulu; kodvwa imphendvulo incunywa nguye, Simakadze.
