Proverbs 5
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen carefully as I explain what makes sense,
Mutabani, ossangayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro byange, era owulirizanga bulungi ebigambo byange eby’amagezi,
2 so you can make good decisions and protect knowledge with your lips.
olyoke oyige okusalawo okw’amagezi, era akamwa ko kavengamu eby’obutegevu.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman may taste as sweet as honey, the kisses of her mouth may be as smooth as oil,
Kubanga emimwa gy’omukazi omwenzi gitonnya omubisi gw’enjuki, n’ebigambo bye biweweevu okusinga omuzigo;
4 but in the end what you get from her is the bitterness of wormwood and the sharp pain of being cut with a two-edged sword.
naye enkomerero ya byonna, akaawa ng’omususa era asala ng’ekitala eky’obwogi obubiri.
Ebigere bye bituuka mu kufa, ebisinde bye biraga emagombe. (Sheol h7585)
6 She doesn't follow the path that leads to life—she wanders away and doesn't even know she's lost.
Tafaayo ku kkubo lya bulamu, amakubo ge gaakyamakyama dda, naye nga takimanyi.
7 Now, my son, listen to me; don't reject what I have taught you.
Kaakano, batabani bange mumpulirize, temuvanga ku bigambo bya kamwa kange.
8 Stay far away from her! Don't go near the door of her house!
Mwewalenga omukazi oyo era temusembereranga luggi lwa nnyumba ye;
9 Otherwise you'll surrender your honor to others, and your character to cruel people.
si kulwa nga mufiirwa ekitiibwa kyammwe, n’okumalira ebiseera byammwe ku oyo alina ettima,
10 Strangers will spend your wealth; everything you've worked for will go to someone else.
ate si kulwa nga b’otolina ky’obamanyiiko bakwavuwaza, n’amaanyi go n’ogamalira ku maka g’omulala.
11 When you come to the end of your life you'll moan in pain as disease destroys your body.
Ku nkomerero y’obulamu bwo olisinda, ennyama yo n’omubiri gwo nga biweddewo.
12 You'll say, “How I used to hate discipline, and my mind rebelled against being corrected!
Oligamba nti, “Nga nakyawa okulabulwa, n’omutima gwange ne gukyawa okunenyezebwa,
13 I didn't listen to what my teacher said. I didn't pay attention to my instructors.
era ne sigondera ddoboozi ly’abasomesa bange, wadde okussaayo omwoyo eri abo abampanga amagezi.
14 Now I'm on the verge of being completely disgraced before everyone in the community.”
Ntuuse ku njegoyego z’okuzikirira nga ndi wakati mu kuŋŋaaniro ly’ekibiina.”
15 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
Onoonywanga amazzi ag’omu kidiba kyo, n’amazzi agava mu luzzi lwo goonoonywanga.
16 Why should your springs be spilled outside, your streams of water poured out in the streets?
Ensulo zo zisaanye okukulukutira mu nguudo, n’enzizi zo mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu kibuga?
17 Keep them for yourselves alone. They're not for you to share with strangers.
Leka bibeere bibyo wekka, bireme kugabanibwako b’otomanyiiko n’akamu.
18 May your spring of water be blessed, and may you enjoy the wife you married when you were young.
Kale leka ensulo yo ebeere n’omukisa, era osanyuke ne mukazi wo ow’omu buvubuka bwo.
19 May she be to you a loving deer, a graceful doe. May her breasts always be intoxicating to you; may you be drunk on her love forever.
Ng’ennangaazi eyeeyagaza n’empeewo esanyusa, leka okusuuta kwe kukumalenga ennaku zonna era naye akwetoloozenga okwagala kwe.
20 Why, my son, become intoxicated with an immoral woman? Why embrace the breasts of a woman who acts like a prostitute?
Lwaki mwana wange osendebwasendebwa omukazi omwenzi, n’ogwa mu kifuba ky’omukazi w’omusajja omulala?
21 For the Lord sees everything people do, the Lord investigates everywhere they go.
Kubanga Mukama alaba amakubo g’omuntu gonna, era n’akebera n’amakubo ge gonna.
22 The wicked are trapped by their evil actions; the cords of their sins tie them up.
Ebikolwa by’omukozi w’ebibi bimufuukira omutego, era emiguwa gy’ebikolwa bye ebibi girimusibira ddala.
23 They will die because they lack self-control, lost because of their great stupidity.
Alifa, kubanga yagaana okwekuuma, era alizikirira olw’obusirusiru bwe obungi.
