Ndebele - Proverbs - 24

24:1  Ungabi lamhawu ngabantu ababi, ungaloyisi ukuba labo.

24:2  Ngoba inhliziyo yabo iceba udlakela, lezindebe zabo zikhuluma uhlupho.

24:3  Ngenhlakanipho indlu iyakhiwa, langokuqedisisa iqiniswe.

24:4  Langolwazi amakamelo agcwaliswa ngempahla zonke eziligugu lezimnandi.

24:5  Umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ulamandla, lomuntu ololwazi uqinisa amandla.

24:6  Ngoba ngezeluleko ezihlakaniphileyo ungalawula impi yakho, lokukhululwa kusebunengini babeluleki.

24:7  Inhlakanipho enkulu iphakeme esiwuleni; esangweni kasivuli umlomo waso.

24:8  Oceba ukwenza okubi, bazambiza ngokuthi ngumnikazi wamacebo amabi.

24:9  Umcabango wobuwula yisono, lesideleli siyisinengiso emuntwini.

24:10  Uba uzitshengisa uxega ngosuku lokuhlupheka, amandla akho mancinyane.

24:11  Bophule abasiwa ekufeni, labatatalikela ekubulaweni, kungathi ungabanqanda.

24:12  Uba usithi: Khangela besingakwazi lokhu; ohlola izinhliziyo yena kayikukunanzelela yini? Olondoloza umphefumulo wakho yena kakwazi yini? ngitsho ubuyisela emuntwini njengokomsebenzi wakhe?

24:13  Dlana uluju, ndodana yami, ngoba lulungile, lohlanga loluju lumnandi elwangeni lwakho.

24:14  Lunjalo ulwazi lwenhlakanipho emphefumulweni wakho; uba uluthola, kuzakuba lomvuzo, lethemba lakho kaliyikuqunywa.

24:15  Wena okhohlakeleyo, ungacathameli umuzi wolungileyo; ungachithi indawo yakhe yokuphumula.

24:16  Ngoba olungileyo uzakuwa kasikhombisa, avuke futhi; kodwa abakhohlakeleyo bazakhubeka ebubini.

24:17  Ungathokozi ngokuwa kwesitha sakho, lekukhubekeni kwaso inhliziyo yakho kayingajabuli;

24:18  hlezi iNkosi ikubone, kube kubi emehlweni ayo, iphendule ulaka lwayo ilususe kuso.

24:19  Ungazikhathazi ngenxa yabenzi bobubi, ungabi lamhawu ngabakhohlakeleyo;

24:20  ngoba omubi kayikuba lomvuzo; isibane sabakhohlakeleyo sizacitshwa.

24:21  Ndodana yami, yesaba uJehova lenkosi; ungahlanganyeli labaguquguqukayo;

24:22  ngoba incithakalo yabo izavuka masinyane; njalo ngubani owazi ukuchitheka kwabo bobabili?

24:23  Lala ngawabahlakaniphileyo. Ukunaka ubuso kusahlulelo kakulunganga.

24:24  Othi kokhohlakeleyo: Wena ulungile; abantu bazamqalekisa, izizwe zizamthukuthelela.

24:25  Kodwa kulabo abamkhuzayo kuzakuba lentokozo, lesibusiso esihle sizabehlela.

24:26  Ophendula ngamazwi aqondileyo uzakwanga indebe.

24:27  Lungisa umsebenzi wakho ngaphandle, uzilungiselele wona ensimini, emva kwalokho wakhe indlu yakho.

24:28  Ungabi ngumfakazi umelene lomakhelwane wakho kungelasizatho, kumbe ukhohlise ngendebe zakho.

24:29  Ungathi: Njengokwenza kwakhe kimi ngizakwenza njalo kuye; ngizaphindisela emuntwini njengokomsebenzi wakhe.

24:30  Ngedlula ensimini yevila, lesivinini somuntu oswele ingqondo;

24:31  khangela-ke, konke kwakumile ameva, imbabazane yayisibekele ubuso bakho, lomthangala wakho wamatshe udilikile.

24:32  Mina-ke ngakukhangela, ngakubeka enhliziyweni yami; ngakubona, ngemukela imfundiso.

24:33  Ubuthongo obuncinyane, ukuwozela okuncinyane, ukusonga izandla okuncinyane ukuthi kulalwe,

24:34  besebusiza ubuyanga bakho njengesihambi, lenswelo zakho njengomuntu ohlomileyo.
