Indlela Yokulunga Nendlela Yobubi (12)

1 Inhliziyo yenkosi injengemifula yamanzi

esandleni sikaSimakade,

uyiphendula iye noma kuphi

lapho ethanda khona.

2 Zonke izindlela zomuntu

zimsulwa emehlweni akhe,

kodwa nguSimakade ohlolisisa izinhliziyo.

3 Ukwenza ukulunga nobulungiswa

kuyathandeka kuSimakade,

ngaphezu kwemihlatshelo.

4 Amehlo aziqhenyayo,

inhliziyo eqhoshayo,

nentokozo yezikhohlakali, kuyisono.

5 Izinhlelo zokhutheleyo ziholela enzuzweni,

kodwa wonke ophangisayo

ziyomyisa ebuphofini bodwa.

6 Ukuthola ingcebo ngolimi lwamanga

kuyize elidlula njengomhwamuko

nanjengezingibe zokufa.

7 Ubudlova bezikhohlakali buzishonisa phansi,

ngoba zenqaba ukwenza ubulungiswa.

8 Indlela yonecala igwegwile,

kodwa inkambo yolungileyo iqondile.

9 Kungcono ukukhosela ekhoneni lophahla,

kunokuhlala ndlininye nowesifazane onothuthuva.

10 Umphefumulo wesikhohlakali ufisa okubi;

umakhelwane waso

akafumani sisa emehlweni aso.

11 Lapho isedeleli sijeziswa,

ongenalwazi uyahlakanipha,

nalapho ohlakaniphileyo efundiswa,

uthola ulwazi.

12 Olungileyo uyayibhekisisa indlu yomubi;

izikhohlakali ziqumbeka phansi, zibhubhe.

13 Ovala indlebe ekukhaleni kwabampofu,

naye uyokhala angaphendulwa.

14 Isipho esikhishwa ekusithekeni sibohlisa ulaka,

nomfumbathiso obuthukuswe esifubeni

uyayidambisa intukuthelo enkulu.

15 Kuyintokozo kolungileyo ukwenza ubulungiswa,

kepha kuyimbubhiso kwabenza inkohlakalo.

16 Umuntu oweduka endleleni yokuhlakanipha

uyakuphumula ebandleni labafileyo.

17 Othanda injabulo uyakuba mpofu,

nothanda iwayini namafutha akayukuceba.

18 Isikhohlakali siyinhlawulo kolungileyo,

kanjalo nombuluzayo, esikhundleni soqotho.

19 Kungcono ukuhlala ezweni eliyihlane,

kunokuhlala nowesifazane onochuku nonolaka.

20 Kukhona ingcebo enxanelekayo

namafutha endlini yohlakaniphileyo,

kepha umuntu oyisiwula uyakugwinya.

21 Olandela ukulunga nokwethembeka

ufumana ukuphila, ukulunga, nodumo.

22 Ohlakaniphileyo angenyukela emzini wamaqhawe,

ayiwise inqaba athembele kuyo.

23 Ogcina umlomo wakhe nolimi lwakhe

ulonda umphefumulo wakhe ezinsizini.

24 Ozidlayo nozigabisayo yisedeleli igama lakhe,

yena owenza konke ngokuziphakamisa okukhulu.

25Isifiso sevila siyalibulala,

ngokuba izandla zalo

ziyenqaba ukusebenza.

26 Onomhobholo ufisa usuku lonke,

kepha olungileyo uyapha,

angagodli lutho.

27 Umhlatshelo wezikhohlakali uyisinengiso;

kakhulu kangakanani-ke

uma ulethwa ngenhloso embi.

28 Ufakazi wamanga uyakubhujiswa,

kepha umuntu olalelayo angakhuluma njalo.

29 Umuntu okhohlakele uqinisa ubuso,

kepha oqotho uyayinaka indlela yakhe.

30 Akukho ukuhlakanipha,

akukho ukuqonda,

asikho iseluleko,

okungamelana noSimakade.

31 Ihhashi lilungiselwa usuku lokulwa,

kepha ukunqoba kungokukaSimakade.
