Amazwi kaAguri
30Amazwi kaAguri indodana kaJake umMasaa. Umuntu wathi kuIthiyeli, kuIthiyeli loUkhalib:
2 Isibilic, ngiyisithutha kulomuntu, kangilakuqedisisa komuntud. 3 Kangifundanga inhlakaniphoe, kangilwazi ulwazi lwabangcwelef. 4 Ngubani owenyukela emazulwini njalo wehlag? Ngubani oqoqe wafumbatha umoya ezandleni zakheh? Ngubani ogoqele amanzi esembathwenii? Ngubani omise yonke imikhawulo yomhlabaj? Lingubani ibizo lakhe, lebizo lendodana yakhe lingubanik, uba usazil?
5 Lonke ilizwi likaNkulunkulu licwengekilemn; uyisihlangu kwabaphephela kuyeop. 6 Ungengezeleli emazwini akheq, hlezi akukhuze, utholwe ungumqambimangar.
Umkhuleko kaAguri
7 Zimbili izinto engizicele kuwe; ungangigodleli zona ngingakafis. 8 Susa khatshana lami ize lamazwi amanga; ungangiphi ubuyanga loba inotho; ungiphe ukudla kwesabelo sami. 9 Hlezi ngisuthe, ngikuphike ngithi: Ngubani iNkosi? Kumbe hlezi ngibe ngumyanga, ngintshontshet, ngithathe ngeze ibizo likaNkulunkulu wamiu.
10 Ungahlebi inceku enkosini yayo, hlezi ikuthukev, ube lecalaw. 11 Kulesizukulwana esithuka uyise, esingabusisi uninax; 12 isizukulwana esihlambulukileyo emehlweni aso, kodwa esingahlanjululwanga engcekezeni yasoy; 13 isizukulwana omehlo aso aphakeme kangaka, lenkophe zaso ziphakanyisiwez; 14 isizukulwana omazinyo aso zinkembaa, lesimazinyo aso omhlathi zingqamub, zokudla abayanga emhlabeni, labaswelayo ebantwinic.
15 Umkhaza ulamadodakazi amabili athi: Phana, phana; lezizontathu kazisuthid; ezine kazitsho ukuthi: Kwanelee. 16 Ingcwabaf, lesizalo esiyinyumba, umhlaba ongasuthi amanzi, lomlilo ongathi: Kwaneleg. 17 Ilihlo eliklolodela uyiseh, lelidelelai ukulalela uninaj, amawabayi esihotshak azalikopola, labantwana bamanqe bazalidlal.
18 Lezizinto ezintathum ziyisimangaliso esikhulu kimin, yebo, ezine engingazaziyoo: 19 Indlela yokhozi emazulwini, indlela yenyoka edwaleni, indlela yomkhumbi enhliziyweni yolwandle, lendlela yejaha entombini. 20 Injalo indlela yowesifazana oliwule; udla, esule umlomo wakhe, athi: Kangenzanga isiphambeko.
21 Ngenxa yezinto ezintathup umhlaba uyazamazamaq, yebo, ngenxa yezine ongezithwaler: 22 Ngenxa yesigqili nxa sibusas, lesithutha nxa sisuthi ukudlat, 23 ngenxa yesaliwakaziu nxa sendilev, lencekukazi nxa iyindlalifa yenkosikazi yayo.
24 Lezi ezine zingezincinyane zomhlaba, kanti zihlakaniphile zenziwe zihlakaniphe: 25 Ubunyonyo buyisizwe esingelamandlaw, kanti bulungisa ukudla kwabo ehlobox. 26 Imbila ziyisizwe esingelamandlayz, kanti zimisa indlu yazo edwalenia. 27 Intethe kazilankosib, kanti zonke ziphuma zehlukene ngamaviyoc. 28 Umbankwa ubambelela ngezandla ezimbili, njalo usezigodlweni zenkosi.
29 Lezi ezintathu zinyathela kuhled, yebo, ezine zihamba kuhlee: 30 Isilwane esilamandla phakathi kwenyamazanaf, esingeyikubuyela emuva ngenxa yobuso loba ngobukabanig; 31 inja ebhince okhalweni, kumbe impongo; lenkosi ileviyo lamabutho.
32 Uba ube yisithutha ngokuziphakamisa, njalo uba ucebe okubih, beka isandla emlonyenii. 33 Ngoba ukuphehlwa kochago kuveza iphehla, lokucindezelwa kwempumulo kuveza igazi, lokucindezelwa kwentukuthelo kuveza ingxabano.
