Izaga 5 Ukuqonda ngowesifazane

¹ Ndodana yami, qaphela ukuhlakanipha kwami, ubeke indlebe yakho ekuqondeni kwami.

² Ukuze ucabangele iseluleko nezindebe zakho zilondoloze ukwazi.

³ Ngokuba izindebe zowesifazane ongaziwa ziconsa njengezinyosi, nomlomo wakhe ubushelelezi kunamafutha.

⁴ Kodwa ukuphela kwawo kubaba njengentuva, kubukhali njengenkemba esika nhlangothi zombili.

⁵ Izinyawo zakhe zehlela ekufeni; izinyathelo zakhe zikhuphukela esihogweni.

⁶ Ungacabangi ngendlela yokuphila, izindlela zakho zihamba, ukuze ungazi.

⁷ Ngizweni, bantwana, ningasuki emazwini omlomo wami.

⁸ Susa indlela yakho kuye, ungasondeli emnyango wendlu yakhe.

⁹ Ukuze unganiki abanye udumo lwakho neminyaka yakho kononya.

¹⁰ Ukuze abezizwe bangasuthi ngenotho yenu; nomsebenzi wakho usendlini yowezizwe;

¹¹ Uyolila ekugcineni, lapho kuqedwa inyama yakho nomzimba wakho;

¹² Wathi: “Yeka ukuzonda kwami ukulaywa nokusola inhliziyo yami iyakweyisa;

¹³ Futhi angizange ngilalele izwi labafundisi bami futhi angizange ngibeke indlebe yami kulabo ababengifundisa!

¹⁴ Ngacishe ngaba sebubini bonke phakathi kwebandla nebandla.

¹⁵ Phuza amanzi kowakho umthombo kanye lamanzi agobhozayo emthonjeni wakho.

¹⁶ Imithombo yakho mayihlakazeke, nemifudlana yamanzi ezitaladini.

¹⁷ Makube ngezakho, kungabi ngabafokazi kuwe.

¹⁸ Mawubusiswe umthombo wakho, ujabule ngomfazi wobusha bakho.

¹⁹ Makabe njengensephe ethandekayo nensephe ethandekayo; amabele akhe makakusuthise njalo; njalo ukhangwe ngothando lwakhe.

²⁰ Futhi kungani wena, ndodana yami, uthakathwa ngowesifazane ongaziwa futhi ugone isifuba sowezizwe?

²¹ Ngokuba izindlela zomuntu ziphambi kwamehlo kaJehova, uyaziqaphela zonke izindlela zakhe.

²² Omubi uyakuthatha ububi bakhe, aboshwe ngezintambo zezono zakhe.

²³ Uyakufa engalaywanga; futhi ngobuningi bobuwula bayo uyoduka.
