Yobu 14
1 “Omuntu azaalibwa omukazi, abeera ku nsi akaseera katono era abeera mu kutegana.
“Umuntu ozelwe ngumfazi ulensuku ezilutshwane njalo ezigcwele inhlupho.
2 Amulisa ng’ekimuli n’awotoka; abulawo mangu ng’ekisiikirize, tabeerera.
Uyaqhakaza njengeluba aphinde abune; njengesithunzi esithi tshazi, akemi.
3 Otunuulira omuntu afaanana bw’atyo? Olimuleeta gy’oli asalirwe omusango?
Onjalo ungala ulokhu umkhangele na? Ungamisa phambi kwakho umthonisise na?
4 Ani ayinza okuggya ekirongoofu mu kitali kirongoofu? Tewali n’omu!
Ngubani ongaveza okuhlambulukileyo kokungcolileyo na? Kakho!
5 Ennaku z’omuntu zaagererwa, wagera obungi bw’emyezi gye era n’oteekawo ekkomo ly’atasobola kusukka.
Insuku zomuntu zimisiwe; uzibekile izinyanga zokuphila kwakhe wabeka lemikhawulo angeke ayeqe.
6 Kale tomufaako muleke yekka, okutuusa lw’alimala okutuukiriza emirimu gye ng’omupakasi.
Ngakho-ke myekele ungazihluphi ngaye, aze aqede lesosikhathi sakhe njengomuntu oqhatshiweyo.
7 “Wakiri waliwo essuubi ng’omuti guloka: Bwe gutemebwa, guloka nate, era ekikolo kyagwo ekiggya tekifa.
Kungaba lethemba ngesihlahla; singaganyulwa siyahluma njalo, amahlumela aso kawayikwehluleka ukukhula.
8 Emirandira gyagwo gyandikaddiyidde mu ttaka era n’ekikonge ne kifiira mu ttaka,
Impande zaso zingaguga phansi emhlabathini lesiphunzi saso sife emhlabathini,
9 naye olw’emirandira okutambula ne ginoonya amazzi kimulisa ne kireeta amatabi ng’ekisimbe.
kodwa singezwa amanzi siyahluma sikhuphe ingatsha njengesihlahla esitsha.
10 Naye omuntu afa era n’agalamizibwa, assa ogw’enkomerero n’akoma.
Kodwa umuntu uyafa alaliswe phansi; uphefumula okokucina angabe esabakhona.
11 Ng’amazzi bwe gaggwa mu nnyanja oba omugga bwe gukalira ne guggwaawo,
Njengamanzi esitsha olwandle lanjengomfula ucitsha amanzi wome qha,
12 bw’atyo omuntu bw’agalamira, era n’atasituka okutuusa eggulu bwe linaggwaawo, abantu tebajja kuzuukuka oba kuggyibwa mu tulo twabwe.
ngokunjalo umuntu ulala phansi angabe esavuka; kuze kutshabalale amazulu abantu kabayikuvuka kumbe baphatshanyiswe ebuthongweni babo.
13 “Singa kale onkweka emagombe era n’onziika okutuusa obusungu bwo lwe buliggwaawo! Singa ongerera ekiseera n’onzijukira! (Sheol h7585)
Kube uyangifihla ethuneni ungithukuze ulaka lwakho luze ludlule! Kube ungibekela isikhathi ube usungikhumbula! (Sheol h7585)
14 Omuntu bw’afa, addamu n’abeera omulamu? Ennaku zange zonna ez’okuweereza nnaalindanga okuwona kwange kujje.
Umuntu angafa uphinde aphile na? Zonke insuku zokutshikatshika kwami ngizalindela isikhathi sokuyekelwa kwami.
15 Olimpita nange ndikuyitaba; olyegomba ekitonde emikono gyo kye gyatonda.
Uzabiza lami ngizasabela; uzasifisa lesosidalwa esenziwa yizandla zakho.
16 Ddala ku olwo bw’olibala ebigere byange, naye tolyekaliriza bibi byange.
Ngeqiniso lapho uzabala izinyathelo zami kodwa kawuyikulandelela izono zami.
17 Ebisobyo byange biriba bisibiddwa mu kisawo; olibikka ku kibi kyange.
Iziphambeko zami zizananyekwa emgodleni; uzasigubuzela isono sami.
18 “Naye ng’olusozi bwe luseebengerera ne luggwaawo, era ng’ejjinja bwe liva mu kifo kyalyo,
Kodwa njengentaba ikhumuzeka ize ibhidlike, lanjengedwala ligudluka endaweni yalo,
19 ng’amazzi bwe gaggwereeza amayinja era ng’okwanjaala kwago bwe kutwala ettaka ly’oku nsi; bw’atyo bw’azikiriza essuubi ly’omuntu.
njengamanzi awagubhayo amatshe lezikhukhula zikhukhula umhlabathi, kanjalo uyalibhidliza ithemba lomuntu.
20 Omumalamu amaanyi omuwangula lumu n’aggweerawo ddala; okyusa enfaanana ye n’omugoba.
Umehlula kanye angaphindi abekhona, adlule; uyabuguqula ubuso bakho umxotshe.
21 Abaana be bwe bafuna ekitiibwa, takimanya, bwe bagwa, takiraba.
Nxa amadodana akhe ezuza udumo, kawakwazi; nxa izizukulwane zakhe zisehliswa, kazikuboni.
22 Obulamu bw’omubiri gwe bwokka bw’awulira ne yeekungubagira yekka.”
Bezwa kuphela ubuhlungu bemizimba yabo bazikhalele bona.”
