Izaga 4

¹ Bantwana, yizwani ukulaya kukayise, nilalele ukuze nifunde ukwazi ukuqonda.

² Ngokuba ngininika imfundiso enhle, ningawushiyi umthetho wami.

³ Ngokuba ngangiyindodana kababa, ngithambile, ngithandekayo emehlweni kamama.

⁴ Futhi wangifundisa, wathi kimi: Inhliziyo yakho mayigcine amazwi ami; gcina imiyalo yami nokuphila.

⁵ Zuza ukuhlakanipha, zuza ukuqonda; ungakukhohlwa; futhi ungasuki emazwini omlomo wami.

⁶ Ungamshiyi, futhi uyokugcina; mthande, futhi uyokugcina.

⁷ Ukuhlakanipha kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu; ngakho-ke zuza ukuhlakanipha, futhi uzuze ukuqonda ngakho konke ukuqonda kwakho.

⁸ Yiphakamise, yona izakuphakamisa; uzokuhlonipha uma umgona.

⁹ Buzanika ikhanda lakho umqhele womusa; uyakukunika umqhele wenkazimulo.

¹⁰ Yizwa, ndodana yami, wamukele amazwi ami; futhi iminyaka yokuphila kwakho iyoba miningi.

¹¹ Ngikufundisile endleleni yokuhlakanipha; Ngikuholile ezindleleni ezilungile.

¹² Lapho uhamba, izinyathelo zakho aziyikunyakaziswa; futhi uma ugijima, ngeke ukhubeke.

¹³ Bambelela ekulayweni; ungamyekeli ahambe; mlondoloze; ngoba uyimpilo yakho.

¹⁴ Ungangeni endleleni yababi, ungahambi endleleni yabantu ababi.

¹⁵ Kugweme, ungadluli kuyo, suka kuyo, udlule.

¹⁶ Ngokuba abalali bengakenzi okubi; nobuthongo babo buyasuswa, uma bengawisanga.

¹⁷ Ngokuba badla isinkwa sobubi, baphuze newayini lobudlova.

¹⁸ Kodwa indlela yabalungileyo injengokukhanya okukhazimulayo okuqhubeka kukhanya njalo kuze kube semini enkulu.

¹⁹ Indlela yababi injengobumnyama; abazi ukuthi bakhubeka ngani.

²⁰ Ndodana yami, lalela amazwi ami; beka indlebe yakho emazwini ami.

²¹ Makungasuki emehlweni akho; zigcine enhliziyweni yakho.

²² Ngoba kungukuphila kwabakutholayo, nempilo kuyo yonke inyama yabo.

²³ Qapha inhliziyo yakho ngakho konke ukukhuthala; ngoba kuyo kuvela imithombo yokuphila.

²⁴ Khipha umlomo omubi kuwe, nezindebe ezisontekile zikude nawe.

²⁵ Amehlo akho mawabheke ngqo, nezinkophe zakho mazibheke phambili.

²⁶ Hlela umkhondo wezinyawo zakho, futhi zonke izindlela zakho maziqine.

²⁷ Ungaphendukeli ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesobunxele; susa unyawo lwakho ebubini.
