Proverbs 5
- 1 Ndodana yami, lalela inhlakanipho yami, beka indlebe yakho ekuqedisiseni kwami,
- 2 ukuze uqaphele ingqondo, lendebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
- 3 Ngoba indebe zowesifazana wemzini zithonta uluju, lomlomo wakhe ubutshelezi kulamafutha.
- 4 Kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyababa njengomhlonyane, kubukhali njengenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili.
- 5 Inyawo zakhe zehlela ekufeni; izinyathelo zakhe zibambelela esihogweni.
- 6 Hlezi ulinganise indlela yempilo, imikhondo yakhe iyazulazula, kananzeleli.
- 7 Ngakho-ke, bantwana, ngilalelani, lingaphambuki emazwini omlomo wami.
- 8 Dedisela indlela yakho khatshana laye, ungasondeli emnyango wendlu yakhe;
- 9 hlezi unikele udumo lwakho kwabanye, leminyaka yakho kolesihluku;
- 10 hlezi abezizwe bazisuthise ngamandla akho, lemitshikatshika yakho ibe sendlini yowezizweni;
- 11 njalo ububule ekupheleni kwakho, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekudliwe;
- 12 njalo uthi: Ngikuzonde njani ukulaywa, lenhliziyo yami yadelela ukukhuzwa!
- 13 Kangizwanga-ke ilizwi labafundisi bami; kangibekanga indlebe zami kwabangifundisayo!
- 14 Ngaphosa ngaba ebubini bonke phakathi kwebandla lenhlangano.
- 15 Natha amanzi emgodini wakho, lemifula ephuma phakathi komthombo wakho.
- 16 Imithombo yakho ichitheke phandle, izifula zamanzi emidangeni.
- 17 Kakube ngokwakho wedwa, kungabi ngokwabezizweni kanye lawe.
- 18 Umthombo wakho kawubusiswe; uthokoze ngomfazi wobutsha bakho;
- 19 impala ethandekayo kakhulu, legogo elibukekayo; amabele akhe kawakusuthise sonke isikhathi, uzule othandweni lwakhe kokuphela.
- 20 Kungani-ke, ndodana yami, uzule kowesifazana wemzini, ugone isifuba sowemzini?
- 21 Ngoba indlela zomuntu ziphambi kwamehlo eNkosi; njalo iyalinganisa yonke imikhondo yakhe.
- 22 Ezakhe iziphambeko zizabamba omubi, abanjwe zintambo zesono sakhe.
- 23 Yena uzakufa ngokungalaywa, lebukhulwini bobuthutha bakhe uzaduha.
