Ndebele - Proverbs - 9

9:1  Inhlakanipho enkulu yakhe indlu yayo, ibaze insika zayo eziyisikhombisa.

9:2  Ihlabe okuhlatshwayo kwayo, ixubanise iwayini layo, futhi yalungisa itafula layo.

9:3  Ithume incekukazi zayo, iyamemeza engqongeni zendawo eziphakemeyo zomuzi zisithi:

9:4  Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; oswele ingqondo, ithi kuye:

9:5  Wozani, lidle okwesinkwa sami, linathe okwewayini engilixubanisileyo.

9:6  Yekelani abangelalwazi liphile, lihambe ngokuqonda ngendlela yokuqedisisa.

9:7  Osola isiklolodi uzizuzela ihlazo, lokhuza okhohlakeleyo uzizuzela isici.

9:8  Ungasoli isiklolodi, hlezi sikuzonde; sola ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuthanda.

9:9  Nika ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuba lokhu ehlakanipha; fundisa olungileyo, njalo uzakwandisa ukufunda.

9:10  Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, lolwazi lwabangcwele luyikuqedisisa.

9:11  Ngoba ngami insuku zakho zizakwandiswa, leminyaka yempilo yengezelelwe kuwe.

9:12  Uba uhlakaniphile, uzakuba uzihlakaniphele; uba ukloloda, uzakuthwala wedwa.

9:13  Owesifazana oyisithutha ulomsindo, kalangqondo, kazi lutho.

9:14  Ngoba uhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni, endaweni eziphakemeyo zomuzi,

9:15  ukubiza abadlulayo ngendlela, abahamba beqondile emikhondweni yabo, esithi:

9:16  Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; loswele ingqondo, uthi kuye:

9:17  Amanzi ebiweyo amnandi, lesinkwa sensitha siyahlabusa.

9:18  Kodwa kazi ukuthi abafileyo balapho; abanxusiweyo bakhe basenzikini yesihogo.
