1 Ukuhlakanipha sekwakhe indlu yakho;
kuzibazile izinsika zakho eziyisikhombisa.
2 Kuhlabe umhlatshelo,
kwavubela iwayini lakho,
kwadeka netafula lakho.
3 Kuthume izintombi zakho,
kuyamemeza emagqumeni
aphakemeyo omuzi, kuthi:
4 “Ongenalwazi makaphambukele lapha;”
nakulowo ongenangqondo, kuthi kuye:
5 “Wozani nidle isinkwa sami,
niphuze iwayini engilivubeleyo.
6 Shiyani izinto zobuwula, niphile,
nihambe ngendlela yokuqonda.
7 “Osola isedeleli uzibangela ukwethukwa,
nothethisa isikhohlakali uziholela ukulimala.
8 Ungasithethisi isedeleli, funa sikuzonde;
sola ohlakaniphileyo, uyakukuthanda.
9 Yala ohlakaniphileyo, uzohlakanipha kakhulu;
ufundise olungileyo, uzothuthuka ngokuqonda.
10 “Ukuqala kokuhlakanipha kungukumesaba uSimakade,
nokumazi oNgcwele kungukuqonda.
11 Izinsuku zakho ziyokwanda ngami,
kwenezelwe neminyaka yokuphila kwakho.
12 Uma uhlakaniphile, uzihlakaniphele;
uma wedelela, uyakukuthwala wena wedwa.”
13 Owesifazane oyisiwula unomsindo,
uyisiwula, akazi lutho.
14 Uhlala ngasemnyango wendlu yakhe,
esihlalweni esisendaweni ephakemeyo yomuzi,
15ukuze ameme
abedlula ngendlela,
abaqondile emikhondweni yabo, athi:
16 “Ongenalwazi makaphambukele ngapha;”
kulowo ongenangqondo, uthi kuye:
17 “Amanzi okwebiwa amnandi,
nesinkwa esidlelwa esithe siyenamisa.”
18 Kepha ophambukayo akazi ukuthi kukhona
izithunzi lapho,
nokuthi izimenywa zakhe
zisendleleni eya kwelabafileyo.
