23Nxa uhlalela ukudla lesiphathamandla, qaphelisa lokuqaphelisa okuphambi kwakho. 2 Ubeke ingqamu emphinjeni wakho uba uyisiminziab. 3 Ungafisic izibondlo zasode, ngoba ziyikudla kwamanga. 4 Ungatshikatshikeli ukunothaf; pheza ekuqedisiseni kwakhog. 5 Uzandizisa yini amehlo akho kokungekho? Ngoba kuzazenzela lokuzenzela izimpiko njengokhozi oluphaphela emazulwinih.
6 Ungadli ukudlai kolelihlo elibij, ungafisik izibondlo zakhelm. 7 Ngoba njengoba ecabangile emphefumulweni wakhen, unjalo. Uzakuthi: Dlana unathe; kodwa inhliziyo yakhe kayilaweo. 8 Ucezu oludlileyo uzaluhlanzap, wone amazwi akho amnandiq. 9 Ungakhulumi endlebeni zoyisithutha, ngoba uzadelela inhlakanipho yamazwi akhor. 10 Ungatshedisi isikhonkwane esidala somngcele; ungangeni emasimini ezintandanes; 11 ngoba uMhlengi wazo ulamandlat; yena uzamela udaba lwazo kuweu. 12 Beka inhliziyo yakho ekufundisweni, lezindlebe zakho emazwini olwaziv. 13 Ungagodleli umntwanaw isijezisox; nxa umtshaya ngoswazi kayikufay. 14 Wena uzamtshaya ngoswazi, ukhulule umphefumulo wakhe esihogweniz.
15 Ndodana yami, uba inhliziyo yakho ihlakaniphaa, inhliziyo yami izathokoza, yebo eyamib; 16 lezinso zami zizajabulac ekukhulumeni kwendebe zakho izinto eziqondileyod. 17 Inhliziyo yakho kayingahawukeli izonie; kodwa bana ekwesabeni iNkosi lonke usukuf. 18 Ngoba isibilig kukhona umvuzoh, lomlindelo wakho kawuyikuqunywaij. 19 Lalela wena, ndodana yami, uhlakaniphek, uqondisel inhliziyo yakho endlelenim. 20 Ungabi phakathi kwabanathi bewayinino, phakathi kwezihwaba zenyamapq. 21 Ngoba isidakwar lesihwaba sizakuba ngumyangast, lokuwozela kugqokisa amadabudabuu.
22 Lalela uyihlo owakuzalayo, ungamdeleli unyoko esemdalav. 23 Thenga iqiniso, ungalithengisi; inhlakanipho, lemfundiso, lokuqedisisaw. 24 Uyise wolungileyo uzathaba lokuthaba; lozala ohlakaniphileyo uzathokoza ngayex. 25 Uyihlo lonyoko kabathokoze, lokuzeleyo kathabey. 26 Ndodana yami, ngiphe inhliziyo yakho, lamehlo akho kawananzelele indlela zami. 27 Ngoba iwule lingumgodi otshonayoz, lowesifazana owemzinia ungumthombo ongumcingob. 28 Laye ucathama njengomphangi, andise abangathembekanga phakathi kwabantuc.
29 Ngubani olo: Maye? Ngubani olo: Wo? Ngubani olenkani? Ngubani olesililod? Ngubani olamanxeba ngezee? Ngubani olamehlo abomvuf? 30 Yilabog abalibala ewayininih, yilabo abazedinga iwayini elixutshanisiweyoi. 31 Ungakhangeli iwayini, lapho lizibonakalisa libomvu, nxa linika umbala walo enkomitshini, lihamba liqondilej. 32 Ekucinenik kwalo liluma njengenyokal, lilume njengebululum. 33 Amehlo akho azabona abesifazana bemzinin, lenhliziyo yakho ikhulume izinto eziphambeneyoo. 34 Yebo, uzakuba njengolala enhliziyweni yolwandle, lanjengolala esihlokweni sensika yomkhumbip. 35 Bangitshayileq, kangizwangar buhlungu; bangidutshuziles, kangikunanzangat. Ngizavuka nini? Ngiphinde ngilidinge futhiu.
