Isethulo: Ihloso nesihloko
1Izaga zakaSolomoni umsa kaDavida ikosi yakwa-Israyeli
2Ngezokwazi ubuhlakani nokuyelelisa,
kanye nokuzwisisa amezwi welemuko;
3iye, ukuzuza ukulaywa okunokuhlakanipha,
ukulunga, ubulungiswa nokufaneleko.
4Abanganalwazi zibanikela ilemuko,
omncani ilwazi nokuhlukanisa.
5Ohlakaniphileko akalalele,
azuze ingqondo
nonekghono afumane indlela yoburholi,
6ukuze azwisise isaga nesitjho
okutjho amezwi neenrarejo zabahlakaniphileko.
7Ukwesaba uSomnini kukuthoma kokuhlakanipha,
kodwana isidlhadlha sinyaza ubuhlakani nokusolwa.
8Ndodanami, lalela isiyeleliso sakayihlo,
ungalahli ifundiso kanyoko;
9mbala, lokho kuzakuba mbhode
kufaneze ihlokwakho,
kube sigejo entanyenakho.
10Ndodanami, nakube izoni ziyakuyenga,
ungaphiki nazo.
11Nakube zithi, “Namba nathi,
sikhukhuthele iingazi zothileko,
sinanabele umphefumulo omsulwa,
12iye, sibaginye baphila njengokufa,
njengalabo abehlela ethuneni basaphelele;
13sizazifumanela imihlobohlobo yobuphaziphazi,
sizalise iinkumba zethu ngepango,
14nawuphosa ifumbakho kanye nathi
bese sahlukaniselana isikhwama”,
15ndodanami, ungaphiki nazo.
Ungalibhadi emzilenazo,
16ngombana iinyawo zazo,
zigijimela ekoneni,
ziyarhaba ukuthulula iingazi.
17Akusizi ukubeka isifu
khisibe zoke iinyoni zikuqalile.
18Abantwaba bakhukhuthela iingazi zabo,
bananabela ipilwabo!
19Zinjalo iindlela zabo boke
abazifunela inzuzo ngokurhabileko:
Kuthatha ipilo yabanikazi benzuzo leyo!
20Unokuhlakanipha urhuwelela endledlaneni,
uphakamisa iphimbo ematatawini.
21Umemeza ekabeni yeendledlana eziyaluzelako,
akhulume amezwi wokuhlakanipha
ebungenweni bamasango wedorobho athi:
22“Kuzabe kube nini
nina eninganalwazi nithanda ukungabi nelwazi na?
Kuzabe kube nini
iinyefuli zijajuliswa kukokomeja
neendlhadlha zizonda ilwazi na?
23Nangathana khenalalela ukukhalima kwami,
bengizokuthululela ummoya wokuhlakanipha kini,
nginazise amezwami.
24Kodwana ngebanga lokobana nalile nangibizako,
nangayelela nangelula isandla sami,
25nathalalisa zoke iinluleko zami,
nangavuma ukukhalima kwami,
26nami-ke ngizokuhleka ihlekelelenu,
ngininyefule nanehlelwa kukwesaba,
27iye, ukwesaba nakunehlela njengesiwuruwuru,
ihlekelelenu nayivuthela njengesivunguvungu,
nalokha nanembathwa lisizi neenkathazo.
28“Yeke bazangibiza, ngingabaphenduli,
bangifunisise, bangangifumani.
29Njengombana bahloye ilwazi,
bangakhethi ukwesaba uSomnini,
30bangamukeli iseluleko sami,
badelela koke ukukhalima kwami,
31bazakugoma isithelo sendlelabo,
bazaliswe ngomphumela wamaqhingabo.
32Ukuphambuka kwabanganalwazi kuyababulala
nokuzethemba kweendlhadlha kuyazibhubhisa.
33Kodwana ongilalelako, uzakuphila aphephile,
azigedle, angabi nokwesaba ihlekelele.”
