Taga 28:1-28
28 Lababi babaleka ngisho kute lobacoshako,Kodvwa labalungile banesibindzi njengelibhubesi.+
2 Nangabe live lenta lokubi,* litawuhlale lishintjashintja baholi,+Kodvwa nangabe umholi asitwa ngumuntfu lonekucondza futsi lonelwati, utawubusa sikhatsi lesidze.+
3 Umuntfu lophuyile locindzetela loweswele+Ufana nemvula lekhukhula konkhe lokulinyiwe.
4 Labo labangawulaleli umtsetfo badvumisa umuntfu lomubi,Kodvwa labalalela umtsetfo batfukutselela labo labangawulaleli.+
5 Bantfu lababi ngeke bakucondze kwehlulela ngekulunga,Kodvwa labo labafuna Jehova batawucondza yonkhe intfo.+
6 Kuncono kuba luphuya kodvwa ube ucotfoKunekutsi unjinge kepha ube ukhohlakele.+
7 Indvodzana lenekucondza iyawulalela umtsetfo,Kodvwa umngani wetimiti uhlaza babe wakhe.+
8 Nangabe umuntfu andzisa umcebo wakhe ngekutsi abite intalo+ lemba ecolo,Lomcebo wakhe utawutfolwa ngumuntfu lobentela umusa labeswele.+
9 Nangabe umuntfu angafuni kulalela umtsetfo,Ngisho nemthantazo wakhe uyenyanyeka.+
10 Loyo loholela lolungile endleleni lembi utawugcumkela emgodzini+ logujwe nguye,Kodvwa labo labangasoleki batawuzuza lokuhle.+
11 Umuntfu lonjingile utibona+ ahlakaniphileKodvwa umuntfu lophuyile lonekucondza utawulati liciniso ngalona lonjingile.+
12 Nangabe labalungile bancoba, bantfu bayajabula,Kodvwa nakubusa lababi, bantfu bayabhaca.+
13 Umuntfu lofihla tono takhe angeke aphumelele,+Kodvwa lotivumako futsi atishiye utawentelwa umusa.+
14 Uyajabula umuntfu lohlale esaba Nkulunkulu,Kodvwa loyo lowenta inhlitiyo yakhe ibe lukhuni utawehlelwa yinhlekelele.+
15 Njengelibhubesi lelibhodlako nanjengelibhele lelilungele kuhlaselaUnjalo-ke umbusi lomubi lobusa bantfu labahluphekile.+
16 Umholi lote kucondza uwasebentisa kabi emandla akhe,+Kodvwa loyo lokwenyanyako kutfola inzuzo ngekungetsembeki utawuphila sikhatsi lesidze.+
17 Umuntfu lonelicala lekubulala lomunye utawuhlale abaleka aze ayowufa.*+
Akube bete lomsitako.
18 Loyo lophila imphilo lemsulwa utawusindziswa,+Kodvwa loyo lohamba ngetindlela letigwegwile utakuwa+ angakagadzi.
19 Umuntfu lolima umhlaba wakhe utawutfola kudla lokunyenti,Kodvwa loyo lowenta tintfo letingenamsebenti utawuphuya kakhulu.+
20 Umuntfu lowetsembekile utawutfola tibusiso letinyenti,+Kodvwa loyo lojaka kuba yinjinga ngeke ahlale amsulwa.+
21 Akusikahle kukhetsa+ bantfu;Kodvwa umuntfu angenta lokubi kuze nje atfole lucetu lwesinkhwa.
22 Umuntfu lonemona* unesifiso lesikhulu sekunjinga,Abe angati kutsi buphuya butamfikela angakagadzi.
23 Umuntfu lowekhuta lomunye+ utawutsandvwa kakhulu+Kunemuntfu lohhalatisanako.
24 Nobe ngubani logebenga babe wakhe namake wakhe bese utsi: “Akusiso sono loku,”+Ungumngani wetigebengu.+
25 Umuntfu loligovu* ubanga kucabana,Kodvwa loyo lowetsembela kuJehova utawuphumelela.*+
26 Umuntfu lotetsemba yena* ulibele,+Kodvwa loyo lohamba ngekuhlakanipha utawuphepha.+
27 Umuntfu lopha labaphuyile ngeke eswele lutfo,+Kodvwa loyo longafuni kubanaka utawucalekiswa kakhulu.
28 Nakubusa lababi, bantfu bayabhaca,Kodvwa nakushabalala lababi, bantfu labalungile bayandza.+
