Indlela Yokulunga Nendlela Yobubi (13)

1 Igama elihle likhethekile

kunengcebo enkulu, nomusa,

kunesiliva negolide.

2 Abacebile nabampofu bayefana;

bonke benziwe nguSimakade.

3 Ohlakaniphileyo uyayibona ingozi, acashe,

kodwa abangenalwazi bayaphikelela, bajeziswe.

4 Umvuzo wokuthobeka nokwesaba uSimakade

wudumo, nengcebo nokuphila.

5Ameva nezingibe kusendleleni yabaphambukileyo,

kodwa ogcina umphefumulo wakhe

uhambela kude nakho.

6 Khulisa umntwana ngendlela eyakuba ngeyakhe;

kuyakuthi lapho esekhulile angasuki kuyo.

7 Isicebi sibusa phezu kwabampofu,

nobolekayo uyisigqila somtshelekileyo.

8 Ohlwanyela ububi uyakuvuna usizi,

nenduku yolaka lwakhe iyakuphela.

9 Ophanayo uyobusiswa,

ngoba wabelana ukudla nabampofu.

10 Xosha isedeleli,

kuzophela ingxabano,

ukuphikisana nehlazo.

11 Othanda inhliziyo ehlanzekileyo

nonenkulumo enomusa,

ungumngani wenkosi.

12Amehlo kaSimakade alonda ulwazi,

kepha uyawabhubhisa amazwi eqili.

13 Ivila, lithi:

“Kunebhubesi ngaphandle;

ngaphuma nje ngizobulawa emgwaqweni.”

14 Umlomo wowesifazane ondindayo

ungumgodi ojulileyo;

oqalekiswe nguSimakade, uyakuwela kuwo.

15 Ubuwula buboshelwe enhliziyweni yomntwana,

kodwa induku yokumyala

ibuqhelisela kude naye.

16Ocindezela ompofu ukuze azicebise yena,

nopha ocebileyo, kuholela ebuphofini.

Amazwi Ezihlakaniphi: Isigaba Sokuqala (1)

22 Ungamqoli ompofu

ngoba ubona ubuphofu bakhe;

ungamcindezeli ohluphekile esangweni,

23 ngokuba uSimakade

kuthi ababephucayo Yena

abephuce ukuphila kwabo.

24 Ungabi ngumngani womuntu onolaka,

ungahambi nomuntu othukutheleyo,

25 funa ufunde izindlela zakhe,

umphefumulo wakho uwele ogibeni.

26 Ungazibandakanyi nabenza izibambiso,

noma ube yisibambiso sesikweletu;

27 uma kungekho ongakhokha ngakho,

uyakuthathelwani umbhede wakho

phansi kwakho na?

28 Ungasisusi isikhonkwane esidala

esashayelwa ngokhokho bakho.

29 Uyambona umuntu onekhono,

uyosebenzela amakhosi,

hhayi abantukazana.
