Ecclesiastes 10

1Impukane ezifileyo zinukisa zibilise a amagcobo omthaki b; ubuthutha obuncinyane benza njalo kohloniphekayo ngenxa yenhlakanipho lodumo c. 2Inhliziyo yohlakaniphileyo ingakwesokunene sakhe, kodwa inhliziyo yesithutha ingakwesokhohlo saso. 3Yebo-ke lapho oyisithutha ehamba endleleni, ingqondo yakhe iyasilela, uthi kuye wonke uyisithutha d.

4Uba umoya wombusi ukuvukela, ungatshiyi indawo yakho e, ngoba ukuthobeka f kuyathulisa iziphambeko ezinkulu g. 5Kulobubi engibubone ngaphansi kwelanga, njengesiphosiso esiphuma ebusweni h bombusi i: 6Ubuwula bubekwa ezindaweni eziphakemeyo kakhulu, labanothileyo bahlala endaweni ephansi j. 7Ngibonile izigqili k zigade amabhiza, leziphathamandla zihamba njengezigqili emhlabeni l.

8Ogebha umgodi uzawela kuwo m; lodiliza umthangala n, inyoka izamluma o. 9Osusa amatshe uzalinyazwa yiwo p; obanda izigodo uzakuba sengozini ngazo q. 10Uba insimbi ibuthundu r njalo engaloli ubukhali s, ngakho ufanele engezelele amandla; kodwa inhlakanipho yinhle t ukulungisa u.

11Uba inyoka iluma kungelakulunjwa v, kakulanzuzo kungcitshi yolimi w. 12Amazwi omlomo ohlakaniphileyo alomusa x, kodwa indebe zesithutha ziyasiginya y. 13Ukuqala kwamazwi omlomo waso kuyibuthutha z, lokucina kwenkulumo yaso kuyibuhlanya obubi aa, 14njalo isithutha sandisa amazwi ab. Umuntu kazi okuzakuba khona; lalokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe ac, ngubani ongamtshela khona ad? 15Umtshikatshika wesithuthandini uyasidinisa, ngoba kasazi ukuya emzini.

16Maye kuwe, lizwe ae, onkosi af yakho ingumntwana ag, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ekuseni ah! 17Ubusisiwe, lizwe, onkosi yakho iyindodana yabakhulu, leziphathamandla zakho zidla ngesikhathi esifaneleyo, zidlela ukuqina, hatshi ukudakwa ai.

18Ngobuvila obukhulu intungo ziyabhensa aj, langokuyekethisa izandla indlu iyanethela ak.

19Idili lenzelwa uhleko, lewayini lithokozisa impilo al; kodwa imali iyimpendulo yakho konke am.

20Lemcabangweni wakho ungayithuki inkosi an, lekamelweni lakho lokulala ungamthuki onothileyo ao; ngoba inyoni yamazulu izathwala ilizwi, lokulamaphiko kubike udaba ap.
