Taga 26
26
1 Njengesitfwatfwa ehlobo nome imvula nakuvunwako, kunjalo kudvumisa silima.
2Njengancedze londiza angahlali, nenkonjane lendiza ingahlali, sinjalo sicalekiso; asimehleli umuntfu longakasifaneli.
3 Emahhashi ayatalajwa, timbongolo tifakwa ematomu, netilima tiyashaywa.
4Ungasiphendvuli silima ngebulima baso; nawenta njalo, nawe utawuba silima njengaso.
5Phendvula silima njengalokufanele bulima baso, khona sitawubona kutsi asikahlakaniphi njengobe siticabanga.
6 Nangabe utfumela umbiko ngesilima, utiletsela inhlupheko, ngobe kufanana nekutsi ujuba tinyawo takho.
7Emavi lahlakaniphile lakhulunywe silima akanamsebenti, afanana nemilente yesishosha.
8Njengekubophela litje esidubulelweni, kunjalo kudvumisa silima.
9Njengesidzakwa nasikhipha linyeva esandleni, anjalo emavi lahlakaniphile nasemlonyeni wesilima.
10Umuntfu locasha silima nome ngubani nje lowendlulako, ufanana nemuntfu lodubula nome ngukuphi nje ngebutjoki alimate konkhe.
11 Silima lesenta intfo lembi kuze kube kabili sifanana nenja yona lebuyela iyekudla emahlante ayo.
12 Wake wambona kambe umuntfu locabanga kutsi uhlakaniphile? Silima sincono kakhulu kunaye.
13 Livila liyatitila litsi: “Ngingeke ngiphume, ngobe kunelibhubesi endleleni!” Liphindze litsi: “Kunelibhubesi emgwacweni.”
14Njengesivalo sijikajika sibanjwe ngemahhuka, kanjalo nelivila lilala lijilajila embhedzeni walo.
15 Livila liyasifaka sandla salo endishini, kodvwa bese lehluleka kusifaka emlonyeni walo.
16Livila liyaye licabange kutsi lihlakaniphe kakhulu kwendlula emadvodza lasikhombisa laphendvula ngekuhlakanipha.
17Umuntfu longena ekucabaneni kwalabanye ufanana nemuntfu lobamba inja lengumkhenkhetse ngemadlebe.
18Njengeluhlanya loludubula nome ngukuphi ngebutjoki, 19uyingoti kanjalo umuntfu loyenga makhelwane abese utsi: “Cha, mine bengidlala.”
20 Ngaphandle kwetinkhuni umlilo uyacima; yebo, nangaphandle kwenhlebo incabano iyaphela.
21 Emalahle enta umlilo ukhehleke, tinkhuni tivutsisa umlilo, nemuntfu welutfutfuva ubhedla inkhani.
22 Emavi enhlebo afanana nemtsamo wekudla lokumnandzi; ehla kamnandzi afinyelele ngekhatsi kwemuntfu.
23Njengeludziwo loluhucwe ngesiliva, anjalo emavi ekuyengana laphuma emlonyeni lonenhlitiyo lembi.
24Umuntfu lotentisako ukhuluma kamnandzi, kantsi enhlitiyweni yakhe ufihle kuyengana. 25Nome inkhulumo yakhe ingaba mnandzi kanjani, ungakholwa; ngobe ngekhatsi inhlitiyo yakhe igcwele bucili. 26Inzondo yakhe angayimbonya ngemavi ekutentisa, kodvwa bubi bakhe buyawubasebaleni ngalelinye lilanga.
27 Nangabe umuntfu emba umgodzi wekwetsiya labanye, kuyakugcumkela yena; nome agicitela labanye ematje, kodvwa ayakugicikela kuye.
28Umuntfu localemanga uyabatondza labo labacalela emanga, nelulwimi lolumphacambili luletsa kufa.
