UmShumayeli 5 Okufanele ukwenze nokungafanele ukwenze ekuphileni

¹ Qaphela unyawo lwakho lapho uya endlini kaNkulunkulu, futhi uthande ukuzwa kunokunikela ngomhlatshelo weziwula; ngoba kabacabangi ukuthi benza okubi.

² Ungasheshi ngomlomo wakho, futhi inhliziyo yakho mayingasheshi ukukhuluma phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ngokuba uNkulunkulu usezulwini, wena usemhlabeni; ngakho-ke amazwi akho kufanele abe mancane.

³ Ngokuba iphupho liza ngobuningi bezindaba; izwi lesiwula laziwa ngamazwi amaningi.

⁴ Nxa wenza isithembiso kuNkulunkulu, ungalibali ukusigcwalisa; ngoba akathokozi ngeziwula; khokha lokho okuthembisile.

⁵ Kungcono ukuthi ungathembisi, kulokuthi uthembise kodwa ungakhokhi.

⁶ Ungavumeli umlomo wakho ukuthi wonise inyama yakho; futhi ungasho phambi kwengelosi ukuthi bekuyiphutha. Kungani uNkulunkulu ethukuthelela izwi lakho futhi achithe umsebenzi wezandla zakho na?

⁷ Ngokuba lapho kukhona amaphupho amaningi namazwi amaningi kukhona okuyize okuyizinhlobonhlobo; kodwa yesaba uNkulunkulu.

⁸ Uma ubona ukucindezelwa kompofu nokuhlanekezelwa komthetho nokulunga ezweni, ungamangali ngaleyo ndaba, ngokuba ophakeme kunomkhulu kunaye, kukhona ophakeme kunabo.

⁹ Inzuzo yomhlaba ngeyabo bonke; inkosi ikhonza emasimini.

¹⁰ Othanda isiliva akayikusutha ngemali; nothanda inala akanenzuzo; nalokhu kuyize.

¹¹ Lapho kwanda okuhle, bayanda abakudlayo;

¹² Ubuthongo besisebenzi bumnandi, noma sidla okuncane noma okuningi; kodwa inala yesicebi ayisoze imenze alale.

¹³ Kukhona ububi obukhulu engibubonile phansi kwelanga, ingcebo egcinelwe abaniniyo kube kubi kubo.

¹⁴ Kodwa leyo ngcebo ibhubha ngomsebenzi omubi, futhi izala indodana, kungekho lutho esandleni sayo.

¹⁵ Ekuphumeni kwakhe esizalweni sikanina uyakubuya ahambe ze njengokufika kwakhe, angathathi lutho emshikashikeni wakhe angayiphatha ngesandla sakhe.

¹⁶ Futhi futhi kungububi obukhulu, ukuthi uzohamba ngazo zonke izindlela njengoba eze; unanzuzoni yena owashikashikela umoya na?

¹⁷ Futhi zonke izinsuku zakhe udla ebumnyameni, futhi unosizi kanye nentukuthelo enkulu ngenxa yokugula kwakhe.

¹⁸ Bheka, engakubonayo: kuhle, kumnandi kumuntu ukuba adle, aphuze, athokozele okuhle kuwo wonke umshikashika wakhe awenzayo phansi kwelanga zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe uNkulunkulu amnika zona; ngoba kuyisabelo sakhe.

¹⁹ Futhi wonke umuntu uNkulunkulu amnike ingcebo futhi wamnika amandla okukudla futhi adle kuwo futhi ajabule emsebenzini wakhe; kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.

²⁰ Ngokuba akayikucabanga kakhulu ngezinsuku zokuphila kwakhe; ngoba uNkulunkulu uyamphendula ngentokozo yenhliziyo yakhe.
