Ndebele - Proverbs - 7

7:1  Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi ami, uzibekele imilayo yami.

7:2  Gcina imilayo yami, uphile, lomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yamehlo akho.

7:3  Ukubophele eminweni yakho, kubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.

7:4  Uthi kunhlakanipho: Ungudadewethu; ubize ukuqedisisa ngokuthi yisihlobo sakho;

7:5  ukuze kukugcine kumfazi wemzini, kowesifazana wemzini oyengayo ngamazwi akhe.

7:6  Ngoba ewindini lendlu yami, ngeminxibo yewindi ngalunguza phandle,

7:7  ngasengibona phakathi kwabangelalwazi, ngananzelela phakathi kwabatsha ijaha eliswele ingqondo,

7:8  lisedlula esitaladeni eceleni kwengonsi yakhe, linyathela endleleni yendlu yakhe,

7:9  kusihlwa, ngentambama yosuku, ebusuku obumnyama, lomnyama.

7:10  Khangela-ke, owesifazana walihlangabeza, lesembatho sewule, elobuqili ngenhliziyo.

7:11  Lo wayelomsindo, eyisiqholo; inyawo zakhe kazihlali endlini yakhe.

7:12  Khathesi uphandle, abesesiba ezitaladeni, ecathama kuyo yonke ingonsi.

7:13  Ngokunjalo walibamba, walanga, waqinisa ubuso bakhe, wathi kulo:

7:14  Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula ikimi; lamuhla sengibhadele izifungo zami.

7:15  Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ukukuhlangabeza, ngidingisise ubuso bakho; ngikutholile.

7:16  Ngendlele umbheda wami ngezendlalo, ngamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu alemibalabala avela eGibhithe.

7:17  Ngifafazile umbheda wami ngemure*, izinhlaba, lekinamoni*.

7:18  Woza, sizidakise ngothando kuze kuse, sizithokozise ngothando olukhulu.

7:19  Ngoba indoda kayikho endlini yayo, ihambile uhambo khatshana.

7:20  Ithethe isaka lemali esandleni sayo; ngosuku lwenyanga egcweleyo izakuza endlini yayo.

7:21  Walihuga ngobunengi bemfundiso yakhe, walivumisa ngenkulumo zakhe ezincengayo.

7:22  Lahle lamlandela njengenkabi isiya ekuhlatshweni, lanjengesiphukuphuku sisiya ekujezisweni esongweni lenqagala;

7:23  uze umtshoko uhlabe isibindi salo, njengenyoni iphangisela esifwini, ingazi ukuthi simelene lempilo yayo.

7:24  Khathesi-ke, bantwana, ngizweni, lilalele amazwi omlomo wami.

7:25  Inhliziyo yakho kayingaphambukeli endleleni zakhe; ungaduhi emikhondweni yakhe.

7:26  Ngoba ubawisele phansi abanengi abalimeleyo, labo bonke ababuleweyo bakhe banengi.

7:27  Indlu yakhe izindlela zesihogo, ezehlela emakamelweni okufa.
