Yobu 14
1 “Omuntu azaalibwa omukazi, abeera ku nsi akaseera katono era abeera mu kutegana.
Umuntu, ozelwe ngowesifazana ulensuku ezimfitshane, ezigcwele inhlupheko.
2 Amulisa ng’ekimuli n’awotoka; abulawo mangu ng’ekisiikirize, tabeerera.
Uyavela njengeluba, abune, abaleke njengesithunzi, akemi.
3 Otunuulira omuntu afaanana bw’atyo? Olimuleeta gy’oli asalirwe omusango?
Kambe onjalo umvulela amehlo akho, ungingenise ekwahlulelweni kanye lawe.
4 Ani ayinza okuggya ekirongoofu mu kitali kirongoofu? Tewali n’omu!
Ngubani ongaveza okuhlambulukileyo kokungcolileyo? Kakho loyedwa.
5 Ennaku z’omuntu zaagererwa, wagera obungi bw’emyezi gye era n’oteekawo ekkomo ly’atasobola kusukka.
Lokhu insuku zakhe zimisiwe, inani lenyanga zakhe likuwe, ummisele imingcele yakhe angeyedlule;
6 Kale tomufaako muleke yekka, okutuusa lw’alimala okutuukiriza emirimu gye ng’omupakasi.
ungamkhangeli, ukuze aphumule, aze athokoze ngosuku lwakhe njengesiqatshwa.
7 “Wakiri waliwo essuubi ng’omuti guloka: Bwe gutemebwa, guloka nate, era ekikolo kyagwo ekiggya tekifa.
Ngoba kukhona ithemba esihlahleni uba siganyulwa ukuthi sizabuya sihlume, lokuthi ihlumela laso kaliyikuphela.
8 Emirandira gyagwo gyandikaddiyidde mu ttaka era n’ekikonge ne kifiira mu ttaka,
Lanxa impande yaso isiba ndala emhlabeni, lesiphunzi saso sifele emhlabathini,
9 naye olw’emirandira okutambula ne ginoonya amazzi kimulisa ne kireeta amatabi ng’ekisimbe.
ngephunga lamanzi sizahluma, senze ingatsha njengesithombo.
10 Naye omuntu afa era n’agalamizibwa, assa ogw’enkomerero n’akoma.
Kodwa umuntu uyafa alaliswe phansi, yebo, umuntu uyaphela, ungaphi-ke?
11 Ng’amazzi bwe gaggwa mu nnyanja oba omugga bwe gukalira ne guggwaawo,
Amanzi ayemuka elwandle, lomfula uyoma utshe,
12 bw’atyo omuntu bw’agalamira, era n’atasituka okutuusa eggulu bwe linaggwaawo, abantu tebajja kuzuukuka oba kuggyibwa mu tulo twabwe.
ngokunjalo umuntu uyalala phansi angavuki; kuze kuthi amazulu angabikho, bangavuki, kumbe bangaphatshanyiswa ebuthongweni babo.
13 “Singa kale onkweka emagombe era n’onziika okutuusa obusungu bwo lwe buliggwaawo! Singa ongerera ekiseera n’onzijukira! (Sheol h7585)
Kungathi ungangifihla engcwabeni, ungithukuze, ize iphenduke intukuthelo yakho, ungimisele isikhathi esimisiweyo, ungikhumbule! (Sheol h7585)
14 Omuntu bw’afa, addamu n’abeera omulamu? Ennaku zange zonna ez’okuweereza nnaalindanga okuwona kwange kujje.
Uba umuntu esifa, uzabuya aphile yini? Zonke insuku zemfazo yami ngizalinda, kuze kufike ukukhululwa kwami.
15 Olimpita nange ndikuyitaba; olyegomba ekitonde emikono gyo kye gyatonda.
Uzabiza, mina-ke ngizasabela, uzalangatha umsebenzi wezandla zakho.
16 Ddala ku olwo bw’olibala ebigere byange, naye tolyekaliriza bibi byange.
Kanti khathesi uyazibala izinyathelo zami; kawuyikuqaphelisa ngesono sami yini?
17 Ebisobyo byange biriba bisibiddwa mu kisawo; olibikka ku kibi kyange.
Isiphambeko sami sinanyekwe esikhwameni, wasusibekela isono sami.
18 “Naye ng’olusozi bwe luseebengerera ne luggwaawo, era ng’ejjinja bwe liva mu kifo kyalyo,
Isibili-ke intaba ewayo iyabhidlika, ledwala liyasuswa 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.
Amanzi ayaguguda amatshe, impophoma zawo ziyakhukhula ubhuqu lomhlaba. Uyachitha-ke ithemba lomuntu.
20 Omumalamu amaanyi omuwangula lumu n’aggweerawo ddala; okyusa enfaanana ye n’omugoba.
Uyamehlula phakade, adlule; uyaguqula ubuso bakhe, umxotshe.
21 Abaana be bwe bafuna ekitiibwa, takimanya, bwe bagwa, takiraba.
Amadodana akhe ayadunyiswa, kodwa engakwazi; kumbe ayehliselwa phansi, kodwa angakunanzeleli.
22 Obulamu bw’omubiri gwe bwokka bw’awulira ne yeekungubagira yekka.”
Kodwa inyama yakhe kuye isebuhlungwini, lomphefumulo wakhe kuye uyalila.
