Ndebele - Proverbs - 6

6:1  Ndodana yami, uba uyisibambiso somakhelwane wakho, watshayela owezizwe isandla sakho,

6:2  uthiywe ngamazwi omlomo wakho, ubanjwe ngamazwi omlomo wakho.

6:3  Yenza lokhu khathesi, ndodana yami, uzophule, lokhu usesandleni sikamakhelwane wakho; hamba, uzithobe, umncengisise umakhelwane wakho.

6:4  Unganiki amehlo akho ubuthongo, lokuwozela enkopheni zakho.

6:5  Uzophule njengomziki esandleni somzingeli, lanjengenyoni esandleni somthiyi wenyoni.

6:6  Yana ebunyonyweni, vila, ubone indlela zabo, uhlakaniphe.

6:7  Obuthi, bungelamkhokheli, induna, lombusi,

6:8  bulungisa isinkwa sabo ehlobo, bubuthe ukudla kwabo esivunweni.

6:9  Koze kube nini, vila, ulele? Uzavuka nini ebuthongweni bakho?

6:10  Ubuthongo obuncinyane, ukuwozela okuncinyane, ukusonga izandla okuncinyane ukuthi ulale,

6:11  besebusiza ubuyanga bakho njengesihambi, lenswelo yakho njengomuntu olesihlangu.

6:12  Umuntu kaBheliyali, umuntu okhohlakeleyo, ohamba lomlomo ophambeneyo,

6:13  afice amehlo akhe, akhulume ngenyawo zakhe, afundise ngeminwe yakhe,

6:14  ukuphambuka kusenhliziyweni yakhe, uceba okubi ngesikhathi sonke, ephosela ingxabano.

6:15  Ngenxa yalokhu ingozi yakhe izafika masinyane, ahle ephuke, kuze kungabi leselapho.

6:16  Lezizinto eziyisithupha iNkosi iyazizonda; yebo, eziyisikhombisa ziyizinengiso emphefumulweni wakhe:

6:17  Amehlo aphakemeyo, ulimi oluqamba amanga, lezandla ezichitha igazi elingelacala,

6:18  inhliziyo eceba amacebo amabi, inyawo eziphangisa ukugijimela ububi,

6:19  umfakazi wamanga ophafuza izinkohliso, lophosela ingxabano phakathi kwabazalwane.

6:20  Ndodana yami, gcina umlayo kayihlo, ungakudeli ukufundisa kukanyoko.

6:21  Kubophele enhliziyweni yakho njalo, kubophele entanyeni yakho.

6:22  Ekuhambeni kwakho kuzakukhokhela, ekulaleni kwakho kukulondoloze, lekuvukeni kwakho khona kukhulume lawe.

6:23  Ngoba umlayo uyisibane, lokufundisa kuyikukhanya, lokukhuza kokulaya kuyindlela yempilo,

6:24  ukuze kukugcine emfazini omubi, emazwini ayengayo olimi lowesifazana wemzini.

6:25  Ungaloyisi ubuhle bakhe enhliziyweni yakho; angakuthathi ngenkophe zakhe.

6:26  Ngoba ngenxa yomfazi oyisiphingi ungafika ecezwini lwesinkwa, lomfazi womuntu uzingela umphefumulo oligugu.

6:27  Kambe, umuntu angaphatha umlilo esifubeni sakhe, lezigqoko zakhe zingatshi?

6:28  Umuntu angahamba phezu kwamalahle avuthayo, lenyawo zakhe zingatshi yini?

6:29  Unjalo ongena kumkamakhelwane wakhe; wonke omthintayo kayikuba msulwa.

6:30  Kabalideleli isela, nxa liseba ukuthi ligcwalise umphefumulo walo, ngoba lilambile.

6:31  Uba litholwa, lihlawula kuphindwe kasikhombisa, linika yonke impahla yendlu yalo.

6:32  Ofeba lowesifazana uswela ingqondo; owenza lokhu nguye ochitha umphefumulo wakhe.

6:33  Uzathola ukutshaywa lesigcono, lehlazo lakhe kaliyikwesulwa.

6:34  Ngoba ubukhwele bululaka lomuntu; ngakho kayikuba lasihawu ngosuku lwempindiselo.

6:35  Kayikunanza loba yiyiphi inhlawulo, kayikuvuma lanxa usandisa isipho.
