Akonelisekiswa Nangantoni
Indoda inokuba nobutyebi, nozuko, nabantwana abalikhulu, ize ingavunyelwa ukuxhamla nakweyiphi na kuzo; uMfundisi uthi umntwana ofela esizalweni unokuphumla ngaphezu kwayo. Umnqweno awuze wanele, ubulumko abuzuzi nzuzo, kwaye akukho bani owaziyo oko kulandelayo.
6 1Kukho into embi endiyibonileyo phantsi kwelanga, enzima kubantu: 2Umntu amnike uThixo ubutyebi, nobuncwane, nozuko, engasweli nanye into oyinqwenelayo umphefumlo wakhe, kodwa uThixo angamvumeli ukuba adle kubo; kudla owasemzini endaweni yakhe. Oku kuyinkohlakalo, kusisifo esibi.
3Ukuba indoda ithe yazala abantwana abalikhulu, yaza yadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, nokuba inde kangakanani na imihla yobomi bayo, kodwa umphefumlo wayo ungeneliswa zizinto ezilungileyo, kwaye ingangcwatywa, nam ndithi umntwana ofela esizalweni ulungile kunaye. 4Uza ngomphunga, waye wemka ebumnyameni; nobumnyama bugubungela igama lakhe. 5Nokuba akulibonanga ilanga, akwazi nanto, unokuphumla ngaphezu kwaloo ndoda. 6Nokuba ithe yadla ubomi iminyaka eliwaka iphindwe kabini ingakhe ixhamle okuhle, azingeyi kuloo ndawo inye zonke na? 7Yonke imisebenzi yomntu yeyomlomo wakhe, kodwa umnqweno wakhe awunganeliswa. 8Sithini na isilumko esisenzelayo ngaphezu kwesidenge? Uzuza ntoni na ihlwempu ngokwazi ukuziphatha phambi kwabantu? 9Kulungile ukubona kwamehlo kunokubhadula komnqweno. Nako oku kuyinkohlakalo, kukusukela umoya. 10Yonke into ekhoyo sele ithiyiwe igama, kwaye kuyaziwa ukuba uyintoni umntu; kwaye akanako ukuphikisana nalowo unamandla kunaye.
11Okukhona kusandayo amazwi, kokukhona kusanda ukuba yinkohlakalo, aze kumzuzeleni na umntu oko? 12Kuba ngubani na owaziyo okulungileyo emntwini kuloo mihla mbalwa yobomi bakhe obuyinkohlakalo, obudlulayo njengethunzi? Kuba ngubani na onokumxelela into eya kwenzeka emva kwakhe phantsi kwelanga?
