IZAFOBE 17

1Akunani kwaukutya iqhekeza lesonka uxolile

kunokuba semzini ozele yinyama yamadini kodwa kugquba imbambano.

2Isicaka esinobulumko sifumana amagunya ngaphezu konyana oza namahlazo,

size naso sibe nenxaxheba elifeni njengabanye oonyana.

3Isiliva ivavanywa ngokuyinyibilikisa embizeni;

igolide ivavanywa ezikweni lomlilo;

kodwa yona intliziyo yomntu ivavanywa nguNdikhoyo.

4Umenzi wobubi uyawuphulaphula umlomo onenkohliso,

kanti ke ixoki liyibazela iindlebe intetho eyenzakalisayo.

5Umntu ohlekisa ngehlwempu ugxeka uMdali walo;

umntu ozivuyelayo iinkxwaleko zabanye uyohlwaywa.

6Abazukulwana libhongo lookhokho,

kanti ke igugu labantwana ngabazali.

7Amazwi obuciko akanakufumaneka emlonyeni wesiyatha;

amazwi obuxoki akalindelekanga emilebeni yesikhulu.

8Ukunyoba kufana nomlingo kulowo ukwenzayo;

uba kuza kumphumelelisa naphi na apho aya khona.

9Obugubungelayo ubugwenxa uzicengezelela ukuthandwa,

kodwa lowo umana ewunokoza umcimbi uchitha ubuhlobo.

10Ukukhalinyelwa kuyamakha umntu onengqondo,

kunokuba imivumbo elikhulu injalo kwisiyatha.

11Umvukeli uqhwaya ingxwaba-ngxwaba;

ke ngoko uthunyelwa isigidimi esingenanceba.

12Kubhetele ukuhlangana nebhere eyohluthwe amathole ayo,

kunokuhlangana nesityhakala sisenza ubudenge.

13Umntu ophindezela ubuhle ngobubi

soze yahlukane nelishwa indlu yakhe.

14Ukuphemba inkathazo kufana nokuqhekezwa kodonga lwedama;

ngoko ke nyawuka ingekakongameli.

15Okhulula umntu onetyala nogweba umntu omsulwa

bobabini uNdikhoyo uyabacekisa.

16Kunceda ntoni ukuba isiyatha siphathe imali, sifune ulwazi,

kanti asinangqondo?

17Umhlobo unothando ngamaxesha onke;

ke yena umntakwenu uzalelwe ukuba nawe kwiimbandezelo.

18Ngumntu ongenangqondo obamba isandla ebhambathisa,

emela ityala lommelwane.

19Umntu othanda ingxwaba-ngxwaba uthanda ubugwenxa;

umntu osoloko eqhayisa ngezinto zakhe uzibizela iingxaki.

20Umntu ontliziyo ikhohlisayo akabi nampumelelo;

kanti nomntu ontetho ikrwada ungena enkathazweni.

21Yinto ebuhlungu ukuba nonyana ongenangqondo;

uyise wesityhakala soze onwabe.

22Umntu onentliziyo echwayitileyo uba nempilo;

kanti ke wona umoya odakumbileyo uyimpehla emathanjeni.

23Umntu okhohlakeleyo uyanyotywa ngasese,

usuke ke wona umthetho ugqwetheke.

24Umntu onengqondo unonophela ubulumko;

ke sona isityhakala amehlo aso athi elapha abe ephaya.

25Unyana osisiyatha uzisela uyise ukukhathazeka;

kanti ke ungumva-ndedwa kunina omzeleyo.

26Yinto embi ukuhlawulisa abantu abamsulwa;

kuyalumeza ukohlwaya izikhulu ezithembekileyo.

27Umntu onengqondo uyawakhetha amazwi akhe,

kanti ke nomntu oqondayo uhlala epholile.

28Kanti ke nesiyatha sicingelwa ukuba sisilumko ukuba asithandi kuthetha;

kaloku umntu othuleyo ubalelwa ukuba yingqondi.

IZAFOBE 18

1Umntu ozahlulayo kwabanye ujongana nokwakhe ukulungelwa;

uwasengela phantsi onke amacebiso aphilileyo.

2Umntu osisiyatha akanamdla wakuqonda nto –

nto angxamele ukuyenza kukuvakalisa ezakhe iimbono.

3Xa kuvela umntu okhohlakeleyo ngokunjalo nokudelela kuthath' indawo;

ukuphoxa ke kuhambisana nehlazo.

4Amazwi omlomo womntu anjengesiziba samanzi;

kambe ke umthombo wobulumko yintlambo enkcenkcezayo.

5Yinto embi ukuba nesheyi kumntu onenkohlakalo;

akulunganga ukumenzela igobe umntu omsulwa.

6Ukuthetha komntu osisiyatha kuzala ingxwaba-ngxwaba;

amazwi akhe ambizela ukubethwa.

7Ukuthetha komntu osisityhifili kumzisela inkathazo;

umlomo wakhe ngumgibe wakhe.

8Amazwi entlebendwane ayanambitheka;

ahla kamnandi athi ngcoo embilinini.

9Umntu owuphath' ewuyeka umsebenzi wakhe

uyintlaka nexolo notshabalalisayo.

10UNdikhoyo ngumqolomba:

bazimela kuye abalungisayo, basinde.

11Izinhanha zicinga ukuba ubutyebi yinqaba yazo;

kuzo ngathi buludonga oluphakamileyo lokuzifihla.

12Ikratshi lomntu lilandelwa yintshabalalo;

ke lona udumo lukhokelwa yintobeko.

13Ophendula engevanga kuqala

bubudenge obo kuye nehlazo.

14Umoya onganikezeliyo wenza ukuba umntu amelane nokufa.

Ke wona umxhelo xa uwile ngubani ongawuvuselelayo?

15Umntu onengqiqo ufunana nolwazi;

ewe, iindlebe zezilumko zibazele lona.

16Xa ufuna ukuviwa ngabo basemagunyeni

phatha umngena-ndlwini xa uya kubo.

17Intetho yommangali etyaleni iba ngathi iyavakala,

xa engekaphicothwa ngemibuzo.

18Liphelisa ingxabano *iqashiso,

libahlule abantu abanamandla.

19Isizalwana esikhutyekisiweyo silukhuni ngaphezu kwesixeko esinqatyisiweyo;

ingxabano yabazalanayo injengemivalo yamasango enqaba.

20Umntu uzalisa iphango lakhe ngeziqhamo zokuthetha kwakhe;

uhlutha sisivuno somlomo wakhe.

21Ukuthetha komntu kulawula ukuphila nokufa;

ke othetha kakhulu uvuna iziqhamo zaloo nto.

22Umntu ofumene umfazi uzuze okulungileyo;

ewe, ufumene okukholekileyo kuNdikhoyo.

23Ihlwempu liyacenga libongoze,

ukanti ke sona isinhanha siphendula rhabaxa.

24Iitshomi ezininzi ziyamvuthulula umntu;

kanti ke sikho sona isihlobo esithembekayo kunomntakwenu.

IZAFOBE 19

1Akunani kwaukuhleleleka unyanisekile

kunokuba sisiyatha esinganyanisekanga.

2Ukutyhuthuzela kungekho kuqonda akulunganga;

onyawo zingxamileyo uyayiphosa indlela.

3Ubuyatha bomntu buyabulimaza ubomi bakhe,

aze ke entliziyweni yakhe asole uNdikhoyo.

4Isinhanha siba nezihlobo ezininzi,

kodwa lona ihlwempu libalekwa nazezikhoyo.

5Ingqina elixokayo liyohlwaywa;

umntu ongathethi nyani enkundleni akasindi.

6Baninzi abacenga izikhulu;

bonke abantu bazizihlobo zomntu ophayo.

7Ihlwempu alifunwa nangabakowalo; yeka ke ukungafunwa kwalo zizihlobo!

Noba selizifuna linezicengo soze lizifumane.

8Ozingela ubulumko uyazithanda ngokwakhe;

okuxabisileyo ukuqonda uzuza ukonwaba.

9Ingqina elixokayo liyohlwaywa;

umntu ongathethi nyani enkundleni uyatshabalala.

10Isiyatha asifanelwa kukuthi zava –

kobeka phi ukuba kubi kokuba amatshawe aphathwe sisicaka?

11Umntu onengqondo akacaphuki msinya;

kuye linqaku ukungakhathali noba selesoniwa.

12Umsindo kakumkani unjengokugragrama kwengonyama;

ke kona ukwamkeleka kuye kunjengombethe phezu kohlaza.

13Unyana osisiyatha uyamtshonisa uyise;

kanti ke yena umfazi onochuku ufana nendlu enethontsi.

14Indlu nobutyebi lilifa looyise,

kodwa umfazi onengqondo uvela kuNdikhoyo.

15Ubuvila bufuthanisela umntu ngobuthongo;

ukanti ke umntu ongasebenziyo ubhuqwa yindlala.

16Umntu ozithobelayo iziluleko uzuza ubomi;

ke yena ongayikhathaleliyo ihambo yakhe uyafa.

17Umntu opha ohlelelekileyo ufana noboleka uNdikhoyo;

uNdikhoyo uya kumbuyisela.

18Mqeqeshe unyana wakho, kuba oko kunika ithemba,

kodwa ke ungagabadeli ude umbulale.

19Umntu ocaphuka msinya uvuna loo nto ayilimileyo;

ukuba ukhe wamnceda kwaba kanye uya kuphinda-phinda.

20Waphulaphule amacebiso, ukwamkele ukululekwa –

ekugqibeleni uya kuba nobulumko.

21Umntu uyaceba acwangcise entliziyweni yakhe,

kodwa ke licebo likaNdikhoyo eliphumelelayo.

22Umntu uzilahlela kuloo nto ayinqwenelayo;

phofu akunani kwaukuba lihlwempu kunokuba lixoki.

23Obona bomi kukuhlonela uNdikhoyo;

umntu owenjenjalo uyazonwabela, inkathazo ingamchaphazeli.

24Ivila liyakha esityeni,

kodwa lingabi nako ukusa emlonyeni.

25Mohlwaye umntu odelelayo, ukuze bazuze ukuqonda abangekabi namava;

isilumko siyafunda sakululekwa.

26Unyana ophatha gadalala uyise, agxothe unina,

ngunyana olihlazo nonamanyondololo.

27Nyana wam, ukuba uthe walutyeshela uqeqesho,

uya kuphulukana namazwi anolwazi.

28Ingqina elingungantweni liyabugqwetha ubulungisa;

okuphuma emlonyeni womntu okhohlakeleyo bububi bodwa.

29Umgxeki ufanelwe kukugwetywa;

ke sona isiyatha silindelwe kukutyatyushwa emhlana.
