1 Ĩno nĩyo mĩario ya Mũthamaki Lemueli: nĩ ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩrĩa aarutirwo nĩ nyina:
Amazwi enkosi uLemuweli, amazwi enhlakanipho awafundiswa ngunina:
2 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũrũ wakwa, ngũkwĩra atĩa, o wee mwana wa nda yakwa, ngũkwĩra atĩa o wee mwana wa mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa,
Oh, ndodana yami! Oh ndodana yethumbu lami! Oh, ndodana yezifungo zami,
3 atĩrĩ, ndũkanaitange hinya waku na andũ-a-nja, kana ũhe ũhoti waku acio manangaga athamaki.
ungadlalisi amandla akho ebafazini, izifutho zakho kulabo abadiliza amakhosi.
4 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Lemueli, athamaki matiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũnyua ndibei, ti mũtugo wa athamaki kũnyua ndibei, anene matiagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩrirĩria njoohi,
Kakusikho kwamakhosi, bakithi Lemuweli kakusikho kwamakhosi ukunatha iwayini, kakusikho kwababusi ukunxwanela utshwala,
5 nĩgeetha matikanyue mariganĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa watho uugaga, nao magithie arĩa othe ahinyĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩao.
funa badakwe bakhohlwe izimiso zomthetho, behluleke ukumisela kuhle abahluphekayo amalungelo abo.
6 Heaga arĩa marathira njoohi, na ndibei kũrĩ arĩa marĩ na ruo rũnene rwa ngoro;
Phana utshwala kulabo abavele sebezifele, iwayini kulabo abalosizi olukhulu;
7 reke manyue mariganĩrwo nĩ ũthĩĩni wao, na matige gũcooka kũririkana kĩeha kĩao.
kabanathe bakhohlwe ubuyanga babo bakhohlwe nya usizi lwabo.
8 “Arĩrĩria arĩa matangĩhota kwĩyarĩrĩria, warĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩa arĩa othe anyamaarĩku.
Bamele labo abehlulekayo ukuzikhulumela, uwamele amalungelo alabo abangelalutho.
9 Maarĩrĩrie, na ũmatuĩre ciira na kĩhooto; rũĩrĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa abatari.”
Khuluma njalo wahlulele ngokulunga; alwele amalungelo abayanga labaswelayo.
10 Mũtumia ngatha-rĩ, angĩoneka kũ? Nĩgũkorwo thogora wake nĩũkĩrĩte mũno ũrĩa wa ruru iria ndune.
Ngubani na ongathola umfazi olesimilo? Uligugu elidlula kakhulu amatshe amahle.
11 Mũthuuri wake nĩamwĩhokete biũ, na ndarĩ kĩndũ kĩa bata angĩaga.
Indoda yakhe iyamthemba ngokupheleleyo njalo kayisweli lutho oluqakathekileyo.
12 Mũtumia ũcio, matukũ mothe ma muoyo wake, no maũndũ mega ekaga mũthuuriwe, na ndangĩmwĩka ũũru.
Uyenzela okuhle, hatshi okubi, empilweni yakhe yonke.
13 Ethaga guoya wa ngʼondu na ndigi cia ũguta, agacirutĩra wĩra na kĩyo, na moko make.
Uyakhetha kuhle iwulu lesikusha akweluke kuhle ngezandla ezikhutheleyo.
14 Ahaana ta marikabu cia wonjoria, tondũ athũgũraga irio ciake kuuma kũraya.
Unjengemikhumbi yabathengisi, eletha ukudla okuvela kude.
15 Okĩraga rũciinĩ kũrĩ o na nduma; akahe andũ a nyũmba yake irio, na akagaĩra ndungata ciake cia airĩtu mawĩra mao.
Uvuka ekuseni kusesemnyama; alungisele abomuzi wakhe ukudla abele lezincekukazi zakhe.
16 Ecũũranagia ũhoro wa mũgũnda mũna, akaũgũra; kuumana na ũthũkũmi wake, ahaandaga mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
Uyayihlolisisa insimu mandulo kokuyithenga; ngalokho akuzuzayo uyahlanyela isivini sakhe.
17 Ehotoragĩra wĩra wake erutanĩirie; moko make marĩ hinya wa kwĩrutĩra wĩra.
Uwubamba ngokukhuthala umsebenzi wakhe; aqinise izingalo zakhe emsebenzini.
18 Nĩatigagĩrĩra atĩ wonjoria wake nĩũrĩ na uumithio, naguo tawa wake ũraaraga ũgĩakana.
Uyananzelela ukuthi ukuthengisa kwakhe kulenzuzo, lokuthi isibane sakhe kasicimi ebusuku.
19 Anyiitaga mũtĩ wa kuogotha ndigi na guoko, nakĩo gĩcũni kĩa ndigi agakĩnyiitĩrĩra na ciara ciake.
Uphatha uluthi lokuphotha ngesandla sakhe abesebamba ngeminwe yakhe isigudugudu sokweluka.
20 Nĩataanahagĩra andũ arĩa athĩĩni, nao arĩa abatari akamatambũrũkĩria moko make.
Welulela izandla zakhe kubayanga njalo ulezandla ezilula kwabaswelayo.
21 Rĩrĩa tharunji yagũa-rĩ, we ndamakaga atĩ nĩĩgũthĩĩnia andũ a nyũmba yake; nĩgũkorwo othe nĩahumbe nguo cia rangi mũtune.
Lapho kukhithika ungqwaqwane, kalakwesaba ngabendlu yakhe; ngoba bonke bagqoke ezibomvu.
22 Nĩatumaga indo cia kwara ũrĩrĩ wake; nake ehumbaga nguo cia gatani ĩrĩa njega, na cia rangi wa ndathi.
Wendlala amalembu ombheda wakhe; agqoke ilineni elihle lezigqoko eziyibubende.
23 Mũthuuri wake nĩaheagwo gĩtĩĩo kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, harĩa aikaraga marĩ na athuuri a bũrũri.
Indoda yakhe iyahlonitshwa enkundleni lapho efika ihlale khona ndawonye labadala belizwe.
24 Mũtumia ũcio nĩatumaga nguo cia gatani agaciendia, na agatwaragĩra onjoria mĩcibi.
Uthunga izigqoko zelineni azithengise, abathengi bemigaxo bayizuza kuye.
25 Hinya na ũtĩĩku nĩcio nguo iria ehumbaga; nĩakenaga ategwĩtigĩra matukũ marĩa magooka.
Wembethe amandla lesithunzi; uyahleka loba kusiza insuku ezimbi.
26 Aaragia ciugo cia ũũgĩ, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwake rũrutanaga maũndũ ma ũtugi.
Ukhuluma ngenhlakanipho, lezeluleko eziqondileyo zisolimini lwakhe.
27 Nĩarũmbũyagia maũndũ ma nyũmba yake, na ndarĩĩaga irio atanogeire.
Unqinekela ezomuzi wakhe njalo kadli isinkwa sobuvila.
28 Ciana ciake ciarahũkaga, cikoiga arorathimwo; o nake mũthuuri wake nĩamũgaathagĩrĩria, akamwĩra atĩrĩ:
Abantwabakhe bayambonga bathi ubusisiwe; lendoda yakhe layo iyamdumisa ithi,
29 “Andũ-a-nja aingĩ manatuĩka ngatha, no wee nĩũmakĩrĩte othe.”
“Banengi abafazi abenza izimangaliso zobuhle, kodwa wena uyabedlula bonke.”
30 Ngoga nĩ cia kũheenania, naguo ũthaka nĩ wa tũhũ; no mũtumia ũrĩa mwĩtigĩri Jehova nĩ wa kũgaathĩrĩrio.
Ukubukeka kuyakhohlisa, lobuhle buyaphela; kodwa umfazi owesaba uThixo kadunyiswe.
31 Mũrĩhei mũcaara wa wĩra ũrĩa arutĩte, naguo wĩra wake ũrekwo ũmũgaathĩrĩrie kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene.
Kaphiwe umvuzo wobuhle abenzayo, imisebenzi yakhe imlethele udumo enkundleni.
