IZAFOBE 29

1Umntu okhalinyelwa njalo, kodwa abe neenkani,

wosuka aphalale ngephanyazo, angaze abe nabuyambo.

2Wakuba sezandleni zamalungisa umbuso, batsho bavuye abantu;

kambe ke kwakulawula isikhohlakali iba ziincwina zodwa.

3Othanda ubulumko uvuyisa uyise,

kodwa ke yena othene nca namahenyukazi uchitha impahla yakhe.

4Xa ukumkani elawula ngobulungisa litsho lizinze ilizwe lakhe;

kambe ke yena orhwiphiliza irhafu uyalibhuqa.

5Umntu onyhwalaza ummelwana wakhe

uzenzela umgibe iinyawo zakhe.

6Umntu ogwenxa uthiyelwa sisono sakhe;

kambe ke yena olilungisa uyaziculela onwabile.

7Umntu olilungisa unemfobe ngâbo bahlelelekileyo,

ke yena umntu okhohlakeleyo akayiqondi nokuyiqonda into enjalo.

8Abagxeki baphembelela udushe esixekweni,

kambe ke zona izilumko ziyawuthomalalalisa umsindo.

9Umntu osisilumko xa emangalelene nesiyatha

sisuka sivuke umnyele siphoxise, kungabikho mvisiswano.

10Izibulala-mntu zimthiyile umntu onyanisekileyo,

ke bona abathe ngqo bayamkhusela umntu onjalo.

11Isiyatha asiwulawuli umsindo;

kambe ke sona isilumko siyaphola sizibambe.

12Ukuba umlawuli nguthoba-sikutyele,

onke amaphakathi akhe oba ngoongcothoza.

13Ihlwempu ndawonye nalowo ulingcungcuthekisayo

bafana ngale nto yokuba bobabini banikwe amehlo abonayo nguNdikhoyo.

14Ukumkani ogweba ityala lehlwempu ngokunyanisekileyo

ulawulo lwakhe luya kuhlala luzinzile.

15Uswazi lokululeka ludala ubulumko;

kambe ke umntwana ongaqeqeshwayo umzisela ihlazo unina.

16Xa kulawula izikhohlakali siyanda isono,

kambe ke wona amalungisa aya kukubona ukuwa kwazo.

17Umntwana olulekwayo uya kukunika ukuxola,

aze ayivuyise intliziyo yakho.

18Abantu abangenawo umbono kaThixo baba ziindlobongela;

phofu ke unoyolo umntu owuthobelayo umthetho kaThixo.

19Akuncedi nto ukulingxolisa ikhoboka,

kuba nokuba liyaqonda aliyi kuphulaphula.

20Uyambona na umntu othetha nje engaqiqanga?

Akunani kwaisityhakala kunaye.

21Ukuba uyalitefisa ikhoboka kwasebutsheni balo,

ekugqibeleni liya kukudela.

22Umntu ofan' acaphuke udala ingxabano;

umfo onephuku uwa ewile esonweni.

23Ikratshi liyamwisa umntu;

kambe ke othobekileyo uba nesidima.

24Ihlakani lomntu olisela lizibeka emngciphekweni;

nakuba lisazi ukuba liza kohlwaywa nguThixo noko lithe cwaka.

25Ukuxhalela abantu kusenokuba ngumgibe;

kambe ke othembela kuNdikhoyo ukhuselekile.

26Baninzi abazithandekisa kwiziphathamandla,

kambe ke bona ubulungisa bufumaneka kuNdikhoyo.

27Umntu onobuqhetseba uyacekiswa ngamalungisa;

ngokunjalo nomntu othe ngqo uyacekiswa ngabakhohlakeleyo.

IZAFOBE 30

Amazwi ka-Agure

1Nanga amazwi ka-Agure unyana kaYake, udaba olundilisekileyo. Yasuka yadanduluka indoda leyo, yathi kuItiyeli, ewe, uItiyeli noUkali:

2“Kaloku ndisesona sidenge ebantwini;

kwaye ingqondo yomntu ayikho kum.

3Zange ndabufunda ubulumko;

andimazi lowo uyiNgcwele kanye.

4Kanti ke, ngubani oselekhe waya ezulwini wabuya wehla;

ingubani owakha wawubamba ngezakhe izanda umoya?

Khona, ngubani owakha wabamba amanzi wawaqhinela ngesondo lengubo yakhe;

ingubani khona owamisa imida yehlabathi?

Khawutsho kaloku, ukuba unolwazi!

Ngubani igama lakhe;

ingubani unyana wakhe?

5“Yonke into ayithethayo uThixo ithembekile;

ulikhaka kwabazimela ngaye.

6Musa ukongeza kwintetho yakhe,

hleze akukhalimele, budandalaze ubuxoki bakho.”

Ezinye izafobe

7Awu, Bawo, zimbini nje qha izinto endizicelayo kuwe;

ewe, ndiphe zona ndingekafi!

8Ndikhwebule kubuqhetseba nokuxoka;

mandingade ndibe sisityebi okanye ndihlwempuzeke,

nto nje ndiqhekezele isonka sam semihla ngemihla,

9hleze ndikukhanyele ndakuhlutha,

ndisuke ndithi: “Kuxa engubani yena *uNdikhoyo?”

Ukanti ke naxa ndihlwempuzekile ndingasuka ndibe,

ndihlazise igama likaThixo wam.

10Isicaka sukusigxeka enkosini yaso,

hleze sikushwabulele ube nobutyala.

11Abanye abantu bayamshwabulela uyise,

bangamthamsanqelisi nonina.

12Bona bazicingela ukuba banyulu,

kodwa babe bengazange bahlambuluka.

13Aba bantu bazicingela bhetele.

Awu, baziphakamisile kambe!

14Basisizukulwana esimazinyo aziingxavula okwekrele,

esimabamba abukhali okwemela,

khon' ukuze baxhaphaze amahlwempu ehlabathini,

ewe, nditsho abasweleyo phakathi kwabantu.

15Ikhalane lineentombi ezimbini;

zithi: “Ndiphe! Ndiphe!”

Ewe, zintathu izinto ezingahluthiyo,

gxebe, zine ezingasoze zithi: “Kwanele!”:

16elabafileyo;

umfazi ongafumani bantwana;

umhlaba onxaniweyo;

nomlilo ongatshoyo ukuthi: “Kwanele!”

17Amehlo omntu ophoxisa ngoyise nocekisa ukuthobela unina

aya kuxholwa ngamahlungulu, anqwamzwe ngamaxhalanga.

18Kukho izinto ezintathu eziyintsonkotha kum;

gxebe, zine endingaziqondiyo:

19ukubhabha kokhozi esibhakabhakeni;

ukurhubuluza kwenyoka elulwalweni;

ukuhamba kwenqanawa enzulwini yolwandle;

ukuthandana komfana nentombi.

20Inje indlela yomfazi okrexezayo:

Uyadla, asule umlomo,

athi: “Andenzanga nto imbi!”

21Zintathu izinto ezilishukumisayo ihlabathi;

gxebe, zine elingenako ukuzinyamezela:

22kukuba phantsi kwekhoboka eliye laba ngukumkani,

okanye isiyatha xa sithe sahlutha kukutya;

23kukuba phantsi kwebhinqa ebelingafunwa elide latshata,

okanye isicakazana xa sithe sathatha indawo yenkosikazi yaso.

24Kukho izinto ezine ezincinane emhlabeni,

kodwa zilumke gqitha.

25Iimbovane ziluhlanga oluethe-ethe,

kodwa ziqokelela ukutya ehlotyeni.

26Iimbila zisisizwe esingenamandla,

kanti zimisa izindlu zazo emaweni.

27Iinkumbi azinankosi,

kodwa zihamba amaqela ngamaqela.

28Icikilishe yinto ongayibamba nangesandla sakho,

kodwa liyafumaneka nakumabhotwe ookumkani.

29Zintathu izinto ezibukelekayo xa zihamba;

gxebe, zine ezichul' ukunyathela:

30yingonyama, igorha phakathi kwezilwanyana,

yona ingahlehliyo nakweyiphi na into;

31ngumqhagi ondolosayo;

yinkunzi yebhokhwe;

ngukumkani ephahlwe ngumkhosi wakhe.

32Ukuba wenze izinto zobudenge waziphakamisa,

okanye ukuba uthe waceba ububi,

khawuthi xha!

33Wakulucofa ucwambu kuvela ibhotolo,

wakuyixhimfa impumlo isuka yophe,

wakuxhokonxa umsindo kugqabhuka imbambano.

IZAFOBE 31

Ukumkani uyacetyiswa

1La ngamazi kakumkani uLemweli, udaba olundilisekileyo awaqeqeshwa ngalo ngunina.

2“Awu, mtanam, sana lwesizalo sam,

nyana wezibhambathiso zam,

3amandla akho musa ukuwaqoba ngamankazana,

iindlela zakho ungazilahleli kwabo babhangisa ookumkani!

4“Lemweli, iwayini ayibafanelanga ookumkani,

ewe, ookumkani ayibafanelanga;

iziphathamandla akulunganga zizinikele etywaleni.

5Kaloku zakusela zitsho ziwulibale umthetho,

zingabi sawakhathalela amalungelo abantu abahlelelekileyo.

6Utywala bufanele abo kungasekho thuba kubo,

abo baminxekileyo ziinzingo.

7Kaloku bona bakusela bayabulibala ubuhlwempu babo,

bangabi sazikhumbula neengxaki zabo.

8“Thetha ubamele abantu abangakwaziyo ukuzithethelela;

ncedisana nabo uwakhusele amalungelo eendwayinge.

9Bamele ubabonelele ngokwasemthethweni;

ncedisana nabo abahlelelekileyo nabasweleyo.”

Umfazi onesidima

10Awu, akanqabe ngako umfazi onesidima!

Lingaphezulu lee nakumatye anqabileyo ixabiso lakhe!

11Onjalo uthenjiwe mpela yindoda yakhe,

futhi ke ayihlelelekanga nganto.

12Uyiphatha kakuhle, kungabi kakubi,

yonke imihla yobomi bakhe.

13Uthatha umqhaphu newulu,

asebenze ngenkuthalo ngezandla zakhe.

14Uhamba njengeenqanawa zabarhwebi,

efuna ukutya kosapho nakwelikude.

15Uvuka kusathi qhekre ukusa,

alungiselele usapho ukutya,

anike izicakazana zakhe imiyalelo.

16Uyayigqala intsimi, aze ayithenge,

athathe kwimali ayisebenzeleyo, atyale isidiliya.

17Usoloko ebhinqa omfutshane;

iingalo zakhe zimelana nawo wonke umsebenzi.

18Uyayiqwalasela inzuzo yokushishina kwakhe;

isibane sakhe asicimi ebusuku.

19Izandla zakhe aziyeki ukuphotha,

neminwe yakhe ayisuki kumashini wokuluka.

20Isandla sakhe sisoloko sivulekile kumahlwempu;

ewe, izinwe zakhe zifikelela nakwabasweleyo.

21Akanaxhala noba selikhithika,

kuba kaloku usapho lwakhe lunezingayiwayo iimpahla zobusika.

22Uzenzela iingubo zokwandlala ezihonjisiweyo kunene;

unxiba ezelaphu elihle elimsobo.

23Nendoda yakhe iyaziwa enkundleni ngasemasangweni,

apho ihlala khona namadoda amakhulu elizwe.

24Uthunga impahla entle yokunxiba, athengise ngayo;

wenza imixwayo ayithengise kubarhwebi.

25Uthiwe jize ngamandla nesidima,

ibe ke akanaxhala ngengomso.

26Xa evula umlomo uthetha ngobulumko;

xa enika iziluleko oko ukwenza ngenceba.

27Ulalusile ikhaya lakhe;

akasidli isonka sobuvila.

28Abantwana bakhe bayamhlonela, bathi unoyolo;

nendoda yakhe ungayiva imncoma, isithi:

29“Baninzi abafazi abenza imisebenzi emihle;

kodwa wena ubagqwesa bonke!”

30Umfazi onomtsalane angakukhohlisa, ke bona ubuhle buyatshitsha;

kuphela ngumfazi ohlonela *uNdikhoyo oya kubongwa.

31Ncoma umwonge ngenxa yoko kwenziwa zizandla zakhe;

ewe, makutyibelwe kudombozwe ngemisebenzi yakhe naphaya emasangweni.
