Izaga 23
1Lapho uhlala phansi ukuba udle nombusi, qaphela okuphambi kwakho.
2Futhi ubeke ummese emphinjeni wakho uma ungumuntu ophambayo.
3Ungafisi izibiliboco zakhe, ngoba ziwukudla kwenkohliso.
4Ungasebenzeli ukuceba; yeka okwakho ukuhlakanipha.
5Uyafuna ukugxilisa amehlo akho kulokho okungekho na? ngoba ingcebo yenza amaphiko; bandizela ezulwini njengokhozi.
6Ungadli isinkwa soneso elibi, ungafisi izibiliboco zakhe;
7Ngokuba njengalokho ecabanga enhliziyweni yakhe, unjalo: “Yidlani, niphuze, uthi kini; kodwa inhliziyo yakhe kayikuwe.
8Uzaluhlanza ucezu oludlile, ulahlekelwe amazwi akho amnandi.
9Ungakhulumi ezindlebeni zesiwula, ngokuba siyakudelela ukuhlakanipha kwamazwi akho.
10Ungawususi umkhombandlela omdala; futhi ngeke angene ensimini yezintandane.
11Ngokuba umsindisi wabo unamandla; uyakumela indaba yawo nawe.
12Nika inhliziyo yakho ekulayweni, nezindlebe zakho emazwini okwazi.
13Ungagodli umntwana, ngokuba uma umshaya ngenduku, akayikufa.
14Kumelwe umshaye ngenduku futhi usindise umphefumulo wakhe esihogweni.
15Ndodana yami, uma inhliziyo yakho ihlakanipha, inhliziyo yami iyojabula, yebo, eyami.
16Yebo, izinso zami ziyojabula lapho izindebe zakho zikhuluma izinto eziyiqiniso.
17Inhliziyo yakho mayingabi nomhawu ngezoni, kepha mawube sekumesabeni uJehova usuku lonke.
18Ngokuba kukhona isiphetho impela; nethemba lakho aliyikunqunywa.
19Lalela, ndodana yami, uhlakaniphe, uqondise inhliziyo yakho endleleni.
20Ungabi ngaphansi kweziphuzi zewayini; phakathi kwabadla inyama abadla imbuya ngothi:
21Ngokuba isidakwa nesiminzi bayakuba-mpofu, ukozela kuyokwembathisa umuntu amanikiniki.
22Lalela uyihlo owakuzalayo, ungamdeleli unyoko lapho esemdala.
23Thenga iqiniso, ungalithengisi; nokuhlakanipha nesiyalo nokuqondisisa.
24Uyise wolungileyo uyojabula kakhulu, nozala umntwana ohlakaniphile uyojabula ngaye.
25Uyihlo lonyoko bazathokoza, njalo lowo owakuzalayo uzathokoza.
26Ndodana yami, ngiphe inhliziyo yakho, amehlo akho abone izindlela zami.
27Ngokuba isifebe singumgodi ojulile; nowesifazane ongaziwa ungumgodi omncane.
28Futhi uyalala futhi aqamekele njengempango futhi andise iziphambeko phakathi kwabantu.
29Ngubani onosizi? ngubani onosizi? ubani oxabene oxoxe? ngubani onamanxeba kungenasizathu na? ubani onamehlo abomvu?
30Abazihlalela ewayinini; abahamba befuna iwayini elixutshiwe.
31Ungalibuki iwayini ukuthi libomvu, uma likhipha umbala endebeni, uma linyakaza liqondile.
32Ekugcineni iluma njengenyoka futhi iluma njengenyoka.
33Amehlo akho ayakubona abesifazane abezizwe, inhliziyo yakho ikhulume amanga.
34Yebo, niyakuba njengaye olele phakathi kolwandle, nanjengalowo olele esiqongweni sensika.
35Bangishaya, kodwa angizange ngigule; bangishaya, angizwanga; ngizovuka nini ngizophinde ngiyibheke.
