Iziqhamo zobulumko
1Yiphulaphuleni, bonyana, ingqeqesho kayihlo;
yigqaleni, khon' ukuze nizuze ukuqonda.
2Ndininika eyona mfundiso iyiyo,
ngoko ke musani ukuwutyeshela umyalelo wam.
3Ngokuya ndandiseyinkwenkwana katata,
ndiselula, ndinguyedwa kamama,
4utata wayendiyala athi:
“Wazikise engqondweni yakho amazwi am,
ungayilibali imiyalelo yam;
yigcine imithetho yam, uphile.
5Thabatha, nabu ubulumko, nantsi ingqiqo!
Ungaze wahlukane okanye ushenxe kumazwi omlomo wam!
6Ungaze ubushiye ubulumko, ke bona buya kukulondoloza.
Thandana nabo, khon' ukuze bukukhusele.
7Ubulumko ngoyena ndoqo, bufunisise!
Fumana ingqiqo, nokuba kudle konke onako.
8Ewe, bunonelele ubulumko, ke bona buya kukuphakamisa;
bukhwaphe, ke bona buya kukuthi jize ngesihomo.
9Boba njengentsimbi ehombisa intloko yakho,
bukuthi jize ngesithsaba esingayiwayo.”
10Phulaphula, nyana wam, uwathathele ingqalelo amazwi am,
uze udle ubomi iminyaka emininzi.
11Mna ngokwam ndikufundisile ubulumko,
ndakukhokelela endleleni ethe ngqo.
12Xa uhamba, ukunyathela kwakho akuyi kuphazanyiswa,
ngokunjalo naxa ubaleka akuyi kukhubeka.
13Ungaze wahlukane nengqeqesho, koko bambelela kuyo;
yilondoloze, kuba ibubomi bakho.
14Musa ukuhambisana nabantu abakhohlakeleyo,
ungahambi nasekhondweni labenzi bobubi.
15Ewe, ndithi zicezele iindlela zabo, ungahambi ngazo.
Shenxa kuzo, uhambe uzigqithe.
16Kaloku izikhohlakali azaneli kukulala zingenzanga nto imbi.
Ewe, ziphuthelwa ubusuku bonke, zide zibe zenzakalise umntu.
17Kaloku inkohlakalo sisonka abasidlayo;
ubundlobongela yiwayini abayiselayo.
18Ke yona indlela yamalungisa ifana nemitha yokusa,
yona iya iqaqamba ngokuqaqamba de ibe yimini epheleleyo.
19Kambe ke zona iindlela zabakhohlakeleyo zingumnyam' ombonde-mbonde.
Naxa bekhubeka abayazi into abakhubeka kuyo.
20Ke wena, mfo wam, wagqale amazwi am,
uyibazele iindlebe into endikuxelela yona.
21Amazwi am makangacimi emehlweni akho,
koko wamilisele phakathi entliziyweni yakho.
22Ewe, abubomi kwabo bawafumeneyo;
ayimpilo kumzimba xa uwonke.
23Eyona nto emawuyilondoloze ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye yintliziyo yakho,
kuba yona ingumthombo wobomi.
24Mabungabikho ubuxoki emlonyeni wakho,
nentetho ekhohlisayo ibe kude lee emilebeni yakho.
25Makathi ntshoo phambili amehlo akho,
neenkophe zamehlo akho zithi ngqo.
26Qiqa phambi kokuba ubeke unyawo lwakho endleleni,
ukuze ihambo yakho iqiniseke.
27Musa ukujika-jika uye ngasekunene nangasekhohlo;
unyawo lwakho malubucezele ububi.
