← Chapter 5 Jump to: Chapter 7 →

1Kukho ububi endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga, bukhulu phakathi kwabantu;

2Umntu athe uThixo wamnika ubutyebi nozuko, ongaswele nto emphefumlweni wakhe, kuko konke asukuba enqwenela ngako, kodwa uThixo akamnikanga gunya lokuzidla; udliwa ngowasemzini; asinto, asinto sisifo esibi.

3Ukuba umntu uthe wazala ikhulu labantwana, wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, yande imihla yeminyaka yakhe, umphefumlo wakhe awahlutha zizinto ezilungileyo, angangcwatywa; Ndithi, ukuzalwa engalindelekanga kungcono kunaye.

4Kuba ingene ngelize, imka ebumnyameni, negama lakhe ligutyungelwe bubumnyama;

5Ngaphezu koko, akazange alibone ilanga engazi nto; buphumla ngakumbi kunabanye.

6Nokuba uthe wadla ubomi iminyaka engamawaka amabini, akaboni nto ilungileyo; azihambi ndaweni-nye zonke?

7Yonke imisebenzi yomntu uyenzela umlomo wakhe; ke umnqweno wakhe awuwuzali.

8Ngokuba isilumko sisigqitha ngantoni na isidenge? Liyintoni na ihlwempu, ngubani na okwaziyo ukuhamba phakathi kwabaphilileyo?

9Ukubona kwamehlo kulunge ngaphezu kokuhambahamba kwenkanuko;

10Sele kuthethiwe ke, yaziwa ukuba yena ungumntu;

11Ekubeni kukho izinto ezininzi nje, ezongeza amampunge;

12Ngokuba ngubani na owaziyo okumlungeleyo umntu ebomini, ngangenani lemihla yobomi bakhe obungamampunge, ayigqiba njengesithunzi? ngokuba ngubani na owaziyo okuya kubakho emva kwakhe phantsi kwelanga?
