1 Izaga zikaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, inkosi yako-Israyeli:
2 ukuba abantu bazuze ukuhlakanipha lokuzithiba; ukuba bazwisise amazwi okuqedisisa;
3 ukuba bazuze impilo yokuzithiba lobuqotho, besenza okulungileyo, okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo;
4 ukunika ulwazi kwabayizithutha, ulwazi lokukhetha okuqondileyo kwabatsha
5 ukuthi ohlakaniphileyo alalele engeze ukufunda kwakhe, kuthi obonisisayo azuze izeluleko,
6 ukuba abantu bazwisise izaga lemizekeliso, izitsho lamalibho abahlakaniphileyo.
7 Ukwesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, kodwa iziwula ziyakweyisa ukuqedisisa lokuzithiba.
8 Lalela, ndodana yami, izeluleko zikayihlo njalo ungadeli imfundiso kanyoko.
9 Kuzakuba ngumqhele omuhle ekhanda lakho lomgaxo wokucecisa intamo yakho.
10 Ndodana yami, aluba izoni zikuhuga, ungaze wavuma.
11 Nxa zisithi, “Woza sihambe; kasicathamele abantu sichithe igazi, kasicwathele omunye umuntu ongelacala;
12 kasibaginye bephila njengengcwaba, sibajwamule njengabawele emgodini;
13 sizazuza impahla ezinhle ezehlukeneyo sigcwalise izindlu zethu ngempango;
14 phathisana lathi ukuze sibelesikhwama sinye”
15 ndodana yami, ungahambi lazo, ungalugxobi olwakho ezindleleni zazo;
16 ngoba ezabo inyawo zigijima ekoneni, bachitha igazi lula.
17 Kakusizi ukuthiya ngembule lithe dandalazi emehlweni ezinyoni!
18 Abantu laba bacathamela ukuchitheka kwelabo igazi; bajuma okwabo ukuphila.
19 Sinjalo isiphetho salabo abadinga inzuzo ngobugebenga; kuyayichitha impilo yalabo abayitholayo.
20 Ukuhlakanipha kuyamemeza emgwaqweni, kuphakamisa ilizwi lakho ezinkundleni;
21 kuyanqongoloza lezindleleni okuxokozela khona, kuyatshumayela emasangweni omuzi kuthi:
22 “Koze kube nini lina zithutha lithanda ubuthutha benu na? Koze kube nini izideleli zikholisa ukudelela leziphukuphuku zizonda ulwazi na?
23 Lalelani ukukhuza kwami liphenduke! Ngizalivulela isifuba sami, ngilivezele imicabango yami.
24 Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi langifulathela ngilibiza, kwangabi khona onginanzayo ngiselula isandla sami,
25 njengoba lala izeluleko zami njalo kalavuma ukukhuza kwami,
26 ngakho lami ngizahleka selihlupheka; ngizaliklolodela nxa lisehlelwa lusizi,
27 nxa usizi lulehlela njengesiphepho; nxa incithakalo ilikhukhula njengesivunguzane, nxa usizi lezinhlupheko ziligabhela.
28 Lapho-ke bazangibiza kodwa kangiyikusabela; bazangidinga bangangitholi.
29 Ngoba babeluzonda ulwazi kabaze bakhetha ukwesaba uThixo
30 ngoba kabavumanga iseluleko sami, badelela ukukhuza kwami,
31 bazakudla izithelo zokuhamba kwabo basuthiswe ngezithelo zamacebo abo.
32 Phela ubuhlongandlebe bezithutha buzazibulala, lokungananzi kweziphukuphuku kuzazibhubhisa;
33 kodwa lowo ongilalelayo uzahlala evikelekile ekhululekile, engesabi lutho olungamlimaza.”
