Taga 18:1-24
18 Umuntfu lotehlukanisa nalabanye utifunela lokufiswa nguye kuphela;Akakufuni* kuhlakanipha.
2 Silima asitsandzi kufundza kulabanye;Sitsandza nje kuveta imibono yaso.+
3 Nangabe umuntfu enta lokubi, labanye bantfu batawumedzelela,Nangabe umuntfu enta tintfo letilihlazo, utawuhlazeka.+
4 Emavi lakhulunywa ngumuntfu afana nemanti lashonako.+
Kuhlakanipha lokuphuma kuye kutawugeleta njengemfula.
5 Kukabi kutsi utawutsi lomubi akanacala abe analo,*+Futsi kukabi kungamehluleli ngekulunga umuntfu lolungile.+
6 Emavi esilima abanga kucabana,+Naloko lesikushoko kwenta bantfu bafune kusishaya.+
7 Umlomo wesilima usibangela inhlekelele,+Netindzebe taso temlomo tilugibe kuso.
8 Emavi emnyundzeli afana nekudla lokumnandzi;+Umuntfu uyawamita bese ehlela esiswini sakhe.+
9 Umuntfu lovilapha kusebentaUngumngani* wesigebengu.+
10 Libito laJehova lingumbhoshongo locinile.+
Umuntfu lolungile ubalekela kulo futsi avikeleke.*+
11 Injinga icabanga kutsi umcebo wayo unjengelidolobha lelivikelekile;Futsi icabanga kutsi lomcebo ufana nelubondza loluyivikele.+
12 Umuntfu lotigcabhako enhlitiyweni yakhe ugcine awile,+Futsi kutfobeka kwenta umuntfu advunyiswe.+
13 Loyo lophendvula indzaba letsite angakaweva emaciniso ayoUsilima futsi utihlaza yena.+
14 Umuntfu lohlala ajabulile uyakhona kubeketelela kugula,+Kodvwa ngubani nje longabeketelela kuba nemoya lowephukile?*+
15 Inhlitiyo yemuntfu lonekucondza itfola lwati,+Nendlebe yemuntfu lohlakaniphile ifuna kutfola lwati.
16 Sipho simvulela ematfuba loyo lophana ngaso;+Simenta akhone kubonana nebantfu labahlonishwako.
17 Umuntfu lokhuluma kucala ecaleni ubonakala acinisile,+Kuze kube ngulapho lona lommangalele efika amphenyisise ngemibuto.+
18 Kwenta inkatho kucedza imibango+Futsi ilamula bantfu labanemandla lebebacabene.
19 Kubohlisa intfukutselo yemngani lowoniwe kumatima kakhulu kunekuncoba lidolobha lelivikelekile,+Futsi imibango ingehlukanisa bantfu njengemagede lanemishudo yensimbi.+
20 Loko umuntfu lakusho ngemlomo wakhe kunjengekudla lokugcwalisa sisu sakhe;+Futsi utawutfola imiphumela yemavi akhe.
21 Kuphila nekufa kusemandleni elulwimi;+Futsi labo labatsandza kulusebentisa batawubhekana nemiphumela yaloko labakushoko.+
22 Loyo lotfole umfati sibili utitfolele intfo lenhle,+Futsi Jehova utawumentela umusa.+
23 Umuntfu lophuyile uncenga lonjingile kutsi amsite,Kodvwa lolonjingile uvele amphendvule kabi.
24 Kunebangani labenta lokubi kulomunye nalomunye,+Kodvwa kunemngani losondzela kakhulu kwengca umnakenu wengati.+
