Taga 21
21
1 Inhlitiyo yenkhosi isesandleni saSimakadze, uyicondzisa kalula njengemanti emfula.
2 Yonkhe indlela yemuntfu ibonakala iyinhle emehlweni akhe; kodvwa Simakadze wehlulela inhlitiyo.
3 Kwenta kulunga nekungakhetsi kumjabulisa kakhulu Simakadze kunekumentela iminikelo yemihlatjelo.
4 Kutigabatisa nekutiphakamisa sono, loku luphawu lwalababi.
5 Emasu emuntfu lokhutsele amdvonsela ekuphumeleleni; kanjalo nematata aholelana ebumphofini.
6 Umcebo lotfolakale ngemacebo ugcina unyamalele; kodvwa lomnikati wawo ugcina afile.
7Lababi abafuni kwenta lokulungile; ngako-ke budlova babo buyababhubhisa.
8Tindlela talababi tigwegwile; kodvwa tento talabalungile timsulwa.
9 Kuncono kuhlala wedvwana etaleni kunekuhlala ngekhatsi endlini kanye nemkakho lotsetsela futsi.
10Umuntfu lomubi unebuyanga bekwenta lokubi; akanawo umusa ngisho nakubomakhelwane bakhe.
11 Longenalwati ufundza kuhlakanipha, nakabona lesinye silima sijeziswa; lohlakaniphile nakafundziswa, utfola lwati.
12 Nkulunkulu, Sokulunga, uyakwati lokwentekako emitini yalababi; yebo, uyababhubhisa lababi.
13Umuntfu longafuni kulalela sikhalo salomphofu, naye angeke aphendvulwe nakakhalela lusito.
14 Intfukutselo yemuntfu ungayiphotisa ngekumnika sipho ngasese, nekutfukutsela kwakhe ungakuphotisa ngemdizo wekutfukuswa.
15Bantfu labalungile bayajabula, nangabe tintfo tentiwa ngendlela lengiyo, ngekujezisa lofanele; kodvwa benti balokubi bayatfutfumela.
16Nangabe umuntfu eduka etindleleni tekucondza, usheshe aye kulabafile.
17 Umuntfu lotsandza kutijabulisa ugcina asaphuyile; umuntfu lotsandza kutamasa angeke acebe.
18 Umuntfu lomubi uyajeziswa, kuze labalungile batewutfola inkhululeko; umuntfu longaketsembeki uyajeziswa, kuze labalungile batewuphepha.
19 Kuncono kuhlala wedvwana ehlane, kunekuhlala nemkakho lotsetsako nalotetemako.
20Umuntfu lohlakaniphile utibekela kudla nemafutsa endlini yake; kodvwa silima sidla sicedze konkhe, singatibekeli.
21Umuntfu lowetama kutiphatsa ngekulunga nangekwetsembeka, uyawuphila imphilo lehloniphekile.
22 Umuntfu lohlakaniphile angangena emtini lomkhulu nome ulindvwe ngemabutfo, abhidlite inqaba lebeyatiwa ngekutsi ayingeneki futsi ingeke ibhidlitwe.
23 Umuntfu lotibambako kuko konkhe lakushoko uyatiphephisa etinhluphekweni.
24Ligama lelitsi “sidvwaladvwala” lisho umuntfu longahloniphi nalotigcabhako, nalongabanaki bantfu.
25 Livila litsandza kuhlala nje, ngiko loko lokuyawubanga kufa kwalo, ngobe alisebenti.
26Sonkhe sikhatsi liticabangela lona; kodvwa umuntfu lolungile akaticabangeli yena yedvwa, uyephana.
27 Imihlatjelo lenikelwa bantfu lababi isinengiso, ikakhulu nayinikelwe ngetinjongo letimbi.
28 Fakazi wemanga uyawubhujiswa; kodvwa fakazi lowetsembekile uyakuma kuze kube phakadze.
29Umuntfu lomubi utiphatsa ngekutentisa; kodvwa lowetsembekile uyatinakekela tindlela takhe.
30 Kuhlakanipha kwemuntfu, nekucondza kanye nemyalo longiwo sibili kungeke kukusite, nangabe kucondzene nekumelana naSimakadze.
31 Nome bantfu emahhashi abo bangawalungiselela imphi, kodvwa kuncoba kusetandleni taSimakadze.
