1Ukuhlakanipha sekuzakhele indlu yakho,
imisiwe ngezinsika eziyisikhombisa.
2Isiphekiwe inyama yakho kwalungiswa lewayini;
konke sekudekiwe etafuleni.
3Usewathumile amantombazana,
uyanxusa emi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zedolobho.
4“Akuthi bonke abayizithutha beze lapha!”
Esitsho kulabo abangaqedisisiyo.
5“Wozani lidle ukudla kwami
linathe iwayini esengililungisile.
6Lahlani izindlela zenu zobuthutha lizaphila;
hambani ngendlela yokuzwisisa.”
7Lowo oweluleka oklolodayo ubiza inhlamba;
okhuza umuntu oxhwalileyo ucina ethethiswa.
8Ungakhuzi isiqholo ngoba sizakuzonda;
khuza ohlakaniphileyo uzakuthanda.
9Yeluleka umuntu ohlakaniphileyo
uzakwandisa ukuhlakanipha kwakhe;
fundisa umuntu olungileyo, uzakwengeza ulwazi lwakhe.
10Ukumesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho,
njalo ulwazi ngaLowo oNgcwele luyikuqedisisa.
11Ngoba ngami zizakuba zinengi insuku zakho,
kwandiswe iminyaka yokuphila kwakho.
12Nxa uhlakaniphile, ukuhlakanipha kwakho kuzakusiza;
aluba uyisiqholo, uzahlupheka wedwa.
13Umfazi othiwa nguBuwula ulomsindo;
kagobeki njalo kazi lutho.
14Uthanda ukuhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe,
esihlalweni endaweni esesiqongweni sedolobho,
15abe ehuga labo abedlulayo,
abahamba beqonde lapho abaya khona.
16“Abeze lapha bonke abayizithutha!”
Esitsho kulabo abangacabangiyo.
17“Ulutho lokuntshontshwa lumnandi;
ukudla okudlelwa ensitha kuyahlabusa!”
18Kodwa kabazi ukuthi kuyafiwa, kuleyondawo,
ukuthi izethekeli zalowomfazi sezaphelela ekujuleni kwengcwaba.
