1 Indoda eyohlwaywa futhi, íyenze lukhuni intamo yayo,Iya kuchithakala ngephanyazo, kungabikho kuncedwa.
2 Ekwandeni kwamalungisa bayavuya abantu;Ekulawuleni kongendawo bayagcuma abantu.
3 Indoda ethanda ubulumko ivuyisa uyise;Olikholwane lamahenyukazi uchitha impahla yakhe.
4 Ukumkani ulimisa ilizwe ngesiko;Ke yona indoda erhunywayo iyalibhukuqa.
5 Umfo ocengacenga ummelwane wakheUthiyela iinyawo zakhe ngomnatha.
6 Elukreqweni lwendoda enobubi kubakho isirhintyelo;Ke lona ilungisa limemelela livuye.
7 Ilungisa liyalazi ibango lesisweli;Ke yena ongendawo akanangqondo yakulazi.
8 Amadoda agxekayo aphembelela isixeko;Ke zona izilumko ziyawudambisa umsindo.
9 Yakumangalelana indoda elumkileyo nesimathane,Soguguma sihleke, kungabikho kuthozama.
10 Amadoda amagazi ayabathiya abagqibeleleyo;Nabathe tye, afuna umphefumlo wabo,
11 Isinyabi siya kukhupha konke ukufutha kwaso,Ke sona isilumko sikudambisela embilinini yaso.
12 Umlawuli olibazela indlebe ilizwi lobuxoki,Bonke abalungiseleli bakhe bangabangendawo.
13 Ihlwempu nendoda engumxinezeli bayaqubisana;Umkhanyiseli wamehlo abo bobabini nguYehova.
14 Ukumkani ogweba ityala lezisweli ngenyaniso,Itrone yakhe iya kuzinza ngonaphakade.
15 Intonga nesohlwayo sinika ubulumko;Ke yena umntwana oyekelelweyo udanisa unina.
16 Ekwandeni kwabangendawo luyanda ukreqo;Ke wona amalungisa aya kukubona ukuwa kwabo.
17 Mqeqeshe unyana wakho, wókuphefumlisa,Awuyolise umphefumlo wakho.
18 Apho kungekho mbono baba yimiqhathu abantu;Bakuwugcina umyalelo, hayi, uyolo lwabo!
19 Isicaka asiqeqeshwa ngamazwi;Kuba siyaqonda, singakhathali.
20 Ùyayibona indoda engxamileyo ngamazwi ayo?Kukho ithemba ngesinyabi kunayo.
21 Osifekethisayo kwasebuncinaneni isicaka sakheUya kwenelwa lukhula ekupheleni.
22 Indoda enomsindo ixhaya ingxabano;Umntu onobushushu uzele lukreqo.
23 Ikratshi lomntu liya kumthoba;Ke yena omoya uthobekileyo ufumana uzuko.
24 Owahlulelana nesela uthiya umphefumlo wakhe;Uyasiva isishwabulo, angaxeli.
25 Ukugubha ngumntu kunesirhintyelo;Ke yena okholose ngoYehova uya kuphakanyiselwa phezulu.
26 Baninzi abafuna ubuso bomlawuli;Ke lona ibango lendoda livela kuYehova.
27 Indoda enobugqwetha lisikizi kumalungisa;Ondlela ithe tye lisikizi kongendawo.
