| NdebeleTeam Ecclesiastes « 10 » |
10Impukane ezifileyo zinukisa zibilisea amagcobo omthakib; ubuthutha obuncinyane benza njalo kohloniphekayo ngenxa yenhlakanipho lodumoc. 2 Inhliziyo yohlakaniphileyo ingakwesokunene sakhe, kodwa inhliziyo yesithutha ingakwesokhohlo saso. 3 Yebo-ke lapho oyisithutha ehamba endleleni, ingqondo yakhe iyasilela, uthi kuye wonke uyisithuthad.
4 Uba umoya wombusi ukuvukela, ungatshiyi indawo yakhoe, ngoba ukuthobekaf kuyathulisa iziphambeko ezinkulug. 5 Kulobubi engibubone ngaphansi kwelanga, njengesiphosiso esiphuma ebuswenih bombusii: 6 Ubuwula bubekwa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo kakhulu, labanothileyo bahlala endaweni ephansij. 7 Ngibonile izigqilik zigade amabhiza, leziphathamandla zihamba njengezigqili emhlabenil.
8 Ogebha umgodi uzawela kuwom; lodiliza umthangalan, inyoka izamlumao. 9 Osusa amatshe uzalinyazwa yiwop; obanda izigodo uzakuba sengozini ngazoq. 10 Uba insimbi ibuthundur njalo engaloli ubukhalis, ngakho ufanele engezelele amandla; kodwa inhlakanipho yinhlet ukulungisau.
11 Uba inyoka iluma kungelakulunjwav, kakulanzuzo kungcitshi yolimiw. 12 Amazwi omlomo ohlakaniphileyo alomusax, kodwa indebe zesithutha ziyasiginyay. 13 Ukuqala kwamazwi omlomo waso kuyibuthuthaz, lokucina kwenkulumo yaso kuyibuhlanya obubia, 14 njalo isithutha sandisa amazwib. Umuntu kazi okuzakuba khona; lalokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhec, ngubani ongamtshela khonad? 15 Umtshikatshika wesithuthandini uyasidinisa, ngoba kasazi ukuya emzini.
16 Maye kuwe, lizwee, onkosif yakho ingumntwanag, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ekusenih! 17 Ubusisiwe, lizwe, onkosi yakho iyindodana yabakhulu, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo, zidlela ukuqina, hatshi ukudakwai.
18 Ngobuvila obukhulu intungo ziyabhensaj, langokuyekethisa izandla indlu iyanethelak.
19 Idili lenzelwa uhleko, lewayini lithokozisa impilol; kodwa imali iyimpendulo yakho konkem.
20 Lemcabangweni wakho ungayithuki inkosin, lekamelweni lakho lokulala ungamthuki onothileyoo; ngoba inyoni yamazulu izathwala ilizwi, lokulamaphiko kubike udabap.
