Izaga 9 Ubuhlakani ngithanda ukudla okumnandi

¹ Ukuhlakanipha kwakha indlu yakho, kwaqopha izinsika zakho eziyisikhombisa.

² Wahlaba imfuyo yakhe; yaxuba iwayini layo; naye wadeka itafula lakhe.

³ Wathuma izincekukazi zakhe; ubiza izindawo eziphakemeyo zedolobha;

⁴ Ongenalwazi makaphendukele lapha;

⁵ Wozani nidle isinkwa sami, niphuze iwayini engilixubileyo.

⁶ Yekani iziwula niphile; uhambe ngendlela yokuqonda.

⁷ Okhuza isideleli uzizuzela ihlazo; futhi lowo okhuza omubi uthola ibala kuye.

⁸ Ungamkhuzi umdeleli, funa akuzonde; khuza ohlakaniphileyo, uyakukuthanda.

⁹ Mfundise ohlakaniphileyo, uyakuhlakanipha nakakhulu; fundisa olungileyo, khona-ke uyoba nemfundo eyengeziwe.

¹⁰ Ukumesaba uJehova kungukuqala kokuhlakanipha, nokwazi ongcwele kungukuqonda.

¹¹ Ngokuba ngaMi izinsuku zakho ziyakuba-ziningi, neminyaka yokuphila kwakho iyakwandiswa.

¹² Uma uhlakaniphile, uyakuzihlakaniphela;

¹³ Owesifazana oyisithutha uyaxokozela;

¹⁴ Ngokuba uhlezi ngasemnyango wendlu yakhe esihlalweni esiqongweni somuzi;

¹⁵ Ukubiza abagibeli abahamba ngendlela yabo:

¹⁶ Ongenalwazi makaphendukele lapha; futhi lowo ofuna ukuqonda uthi kuye:

¹⁷ Amanzi ebiwe amnandi, nesinkwa esidliwa ngasese simnandi.

¹⁸ Kodwa kakwazi ukuthi abafileyo bakhona; nokuthi abamenyiweyo bakhe basezinzulwini zesihogo.
