Ecclesiastes 8

1Ngubani onjengohlakaniphileyo? Ngubani-ke owazi ukuchasiswa kolutho? Inhlakanipho yomuntu a iyakhanyisa ubuso bakhe, lobulukhuni bobuso bakhe buyaguqulwa b. 2Ngithi: Gcina umlayo wenkosi, lanjengokwesifungo sikaNkulunkulu c , d. 3Ungaphangisi e ukusuka phambi kwayo f, ungemi edabeni olubi, ngoba yenza konke ekuthandayo g. 4Lapho okulelizwi lenkosi khona kulamandla h; njalo ngubani ongathi kuyo: Wenzani i? 5Lowo ogcina umlayo kayikwazi into embi, lenhliziyo yohlakaniphileyo iyasazi isikhathi lokwahlulela j.

6Ngoba kulo lonke udaba kulesikhathi k lokwahlulela l, ngoba ububi bomuntu bukhulu phezu kwakhe. 7Ngoba kakwazi ukuthi kuzakuba yini m, ngoba ngubani ongamtshela ukuthi kuzakuba nini n? 8Kakulamuntu olamandla phezu komoya o ukubamba umoya p, njalo kalamandla osukwini lokufa q; njalo kakukho ukukhululwa kuleyompi r, lobubi kabuyikukhulula abaninibo s. 9Konke lokhu ngikubonile, nganikela inhliziyo yami emsebenzini wonke owenziwa ngaphansi kwelanga; kulesikhathi lapho umuntu abusa khona umuntu kube yikulimala kwakhe.

10Ngokunjalo-ke ngabona ababi bengcwatshwa t, ababevela njalo baye endaweni engcwele u, abasebekhohlakele emzini lapho ababenze khona okunjalo. Lokhu lakho kuyize v. 11Ngoba isigwebo ngesenzo esibi singenziwa masinyane w, ngenxa yalokho inhliziyo yabantwana babantu igcwele ngaphakathi kwabo ukwenza okubi x. 12Lanxa isoni sisenza okubi izikhathi ezilikhulu, lensuku y zaso zelulwe z , aa, kube kanti sibili ngiyazi ukuthi ab kuzabalungela labo abamesabayo uNkulunkulu, abesabayo phambi kwakhe ac. 13Kodwa omubi kakuyikumlungela ad , ae; futhi kayikwelula insuku zakhe; unjengesithunzi ngoba kesabi phambi kukaNkulunkulu af. 14Kukhona okuyize okwenziwayo emhlabeni, ukuthi bakhona abalungileyo abehlelwa njengokomsebenzi wababi ag, bakhona lababi abehlelwa njengokomsebenzi wabalungileyo. Ngathi: Lokhu lakho kuyize ah. 15Ngakho mina ngababaza intokozo; ngoba umuntu kalalutho oluhle ngaphansi kwelanga, ngaphandle kokudla lokunatha lokuthokoza ai, ngoba lokhu kuzahlala laye ekutshikatshikeni kwakhe ensukwini zempilo yakhe uNkulunkulu amnike zona ngaphansi kwelanga aj.

16Lapho nganikela inhliziyo ukwazi inhlakanipho lokubona umsebenzi owenziwa emhlabeni, (ngoba futhi ukhona ongaboni ubuthongo ngamehlo akhe emini lebusuku ak) 17ngasengibona wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukuthi umuntu kalakho ukufumana umsebenzi owenziwayo ngaphansi kwelanga al; ngoba lanxa umuntu etshikatshika ukukudinga, kube kanti kayikukufumana; yebo futhi, lanxa ohlakaniphileyo angathi uyazi, kayikuba lakho ukukuthola am.
