Izaga 2 Kunenani elikhulu ekuhlakanipheni

¹ Ndodana yami, uma wamukela amazwi ami, ufihle imiyalo yami kuwe;

² ukuze ubeke indlebe yakho ekuhlakanipheni, uphendulele inhliziyo yakho ekuqondeni;

³ Yebo, uma ubiza ukwazi, uphakamisela izwi lakho ukuqonda;

⁴ Uma ubufuna njengesiliva, ubufuna njengengcebo efihliweyo;

⁵ Khona uyakuqonda ukumesaba uJehova, uthole ukumazi uNkulunkulu.

⁶ Ngokuba uJehova uyapha ukuhlakanipha; emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ukwazi nokuqondisisa.

⁷ Ugcinela olungileyo ukuhlakanipha okupheleleyo; Uyisihlangu kwabahamba ngobuqotho.

⁸ Ugcina izindlela zokulunga, agcine indlela yabangcwele bakhe.

⁹ Khona uyakuqonda ukulunga nokwahlulela nokulunga; yebo, yonke imigwaqo emihle.

¹⁰ Lapho ukuhlakanipha kungena enhliziyweni yakho, nolwazi luthokozisa umphefumulo wakho;

¹¹ Ukuzindla kuyakulondoloza, ukuqonda kuyakulonda.

¹² Ukukophula endleleni yomubi, kumuntu okhuluma amanga;

¹³ abashiya izindlela zokulunga, ukuze bahambe ezindleleni zobumnyama;

¹⁴ abathokoza ngokwenza okubi, bathokoze ngamanga ababi;

¹⁵ abazindlela zabo ziyisigwegwe, baduka ezindleleni zabo;

¹⁶ ukuze ukhulule kowesifazane wezizwe, kowezizwe othophayo ngamazwi akhe;

¹⁷ oshiya umngane wobusha bakhe, akhohlwe isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wakhe.

¹⁸ Ngoba indlu yakhe iphelela ekufeni kanye lezindlela zakhe kwabafileyo.

¹⁹ Kakho oya kuye obuyayo, njalo kabayikubambi imikhondo yempilo.

²⁰ Ukuze uhambe endleleni yabalungileyo, ulondoloze imikhondo yabalungileyo.

²¹ Ngoba abaqotho bazahlala elizweni, labapheleleyo bazahlala kulo.

²² Kodwa ababi bayakunqunywa emhlabeni, nabaphambukayo bayonqunywa kuwo.
