1 Awo Erifaazi Omutemani n’addamu n’ayogera nti,
Na Temanni Elifas buaa sɛ,
2 “Omuntu ow’amagezi yandizzeemu n’amagezi agataliimu, oba n’ajjuza olubuto lwe embuyaga ez’ebuvanjuba?
“Enti onyansafoɔ de nsɛm a aba biara nni muo bɛyi nʼano anaasɛ ɔde apueeɛ mframa a emu yɛ hye bɛhyɛ nʼafuru ma?
3 Yandiwakanye n’ebigambo ebitaliiko kye bigasa, oba okwogera ebigambo ebitalina kye bikola?
Ɔde nsɛm huhuo bɛdi anobaabaeɛ, aka nsɛm a ɛntu bunu biara anaa?
4 Naye onyooma Katonda n’oziyiza okwewaayo eri Katonda.
Wototo onyamesuro ase mmom na wosi Onyankopɔn mu ahotosoɔ ho ɛkwan.
5 Kubanga obutali butuukirivu bwo bwe buyigiriza akamwa ko, era olonzeewo okukozesa olulimi lw’abalimba.
Wo bɔne kyerɛ wʼano deɛ ɔnka; na woafa aniteɛ tɛkrɛma.
6 Akamwa ko kennyini ke kakusalira omusango si nze, emimwa gyo gyennyini gye gikulumiriza.
Wo ankasa wʼano bu wo kumfɔ, ɛnyɛ me deɛ; wʼankasa wʼano di adanseɛ tia wo.
7 “Gwe wasooka abantu bonna okuzaalibwa? Oba ggwe wazaalibwa ensozi nga tezinnabaawo?
“Wone onipa a wɔwoo wo dii ɛkan? Wɔwoo wo ansa na wɔrewo nkokoɔ?
8 Ofaayo okuwuliriza okuteesa kwa Katonda? Olowooza gwe mugezi wekka?
Wotie Onyankopɔn afotuo anaa? Wo nko ara na wonim nyansa anaa?
9 Kiki ky’omanyi kye tutamanyi? Kubikkulirwa ki kw’olina ffe kwe tutalina?
Ɛdeɛn na wonim a, yɛnnim? Nhunumu bɛn na wowɔ a yɛnnie?
10 Ab’envi abakaddiye bali ku ludda lwaffe, abasajja abakulu n’okusinga kitaawo.
Deɛ wafu dwono ne akɔkoraa wɔ yɛn afa, wɔn a wɔanyini sene wʼagya mpo.
11 Katonda by’akugambye ebikuzzaamu amaanyi bitono nnyo tebikumala, ebigambo ebikubuuliddwa mu bukkakkamu?
Onyankopɔn awerɛkyekyerɛ ne nsɛm a wɔka no brɛoo kyerɛ wo no sua ma wo anaa?
12 Lwaki omutima gwo gukubuzizza, amaaso go ne gatemereza
Adɛn enti na wʼakoma atwe wo korɔ adɛn enti na wʼani asɔ ogya,
13 n’olyoka ofuka obusungu bwo eri Katonda, n’ofukumula ebigambo bwe bityo okuva mu kamwa ko?
na woadane wʼabofuo agu Onyankopɔn so na woma saa nsɛm yi pue firi wʼano?
14 “Omuntu ye ani, alyoke abeere omutukuvu, oba oyo azaalibwa omukazi nti ayinza okuba omutuukirivu?
“Ɔdasani ne hwan a ɔbɛtumi ayɛ pɛ, anaasɛ deɛ ɔbaa awo noɔ bɛn na ɔbɛtumi ayɛ ɔteneneeni?
15 Katonda bw’aba tassa bwesige mu batukuvu be, n’eggulu ne liba nga si ttukuvu mu maaso ge,
Onyankopɔn nni ahotosoɔ wɔ nʼakronkronfoɔ mu. Ɔsorosoro mpo nnyɛ kronn wɔ nʼani so,
16 oba oleeta otya omuntu obuntu, omugwagwa era omuvundu, anywa obutali butuukirivu nga amazzi!
na nkantom onipa bɔnefoɔ ne omumuyɛfoɔ a ɔnom awurukasɛm sɛ nsuo.
17 “Mpuliriza nnaakunnyonnyola, leka nkubuulire kye ndabye:
“Tie me, na mɛkyerɛ wo mu; ma menka deɛ mahunu nkyerɛ wo,
18 abasajja ab’amagezi kye bagambye nga tebalina kye bakwese ku kye baafuna okuva eri bakadde baabwe
deɛ anyansafoɔ apae mu aka, a wɔamfa biribiara a wɔnya firii wɔn agyanom hɔ no ansie
19 abo bokka abaweebwa ensi nga tewali mugwira agiyitamu.
(wɔn a wɔde asase no maa wɔn ɛberɛ a ananafoɔ biara nni hɔ):
20 Omuntu omukozi w’ebibi, aba mu kubonaabona ennaku ze zonna, n’anyigirizibwa emyaka gyonna egyamutegekerwa.
Omumuyɛfoɔ kɔ ahohiahia mu ne nkwanna nyinaa. Na basabasayɛni nso, wɔahyehyɛ ne mfeɛ nyinaa ama no.
21 Amaloboozi agatiisa gajjuza amatu ge; byonna bwe biba ng’ebiteredde, abanyazi ne bamulumba.
Nnyegyeɛ a ɛyɛ hu hyɛ nʼasom ma; na sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ nneɛma rekɔ yie ma no a, akorɔmfoɔ to hyɛ ne so.
22 Atya okuva mu kizikiza adde, ekitala kiba kimulinze okumusala.
Ɔpa aba sɛ ɔbɛdwane afiri esum mu; wɔabɔ no ato hɔ ama akofena.
23 Adda eno n’eri ng’anoonya ky’anaalya, amanyi ng’olunaku olw’ekizikiza lumutuukiridde.
Ɔkyinkyini hwehwɛ aduane; ɔnim sɛ esum da no abɛn.
24 Okweraliikirira n’obubalagaze bimubuutikira, bimujjula nga kabaka eyetegekedde olutalo.
Ɔhaw ne ahoyera yi no hu; ɛhyɛ ne so sɛ ɔhene a wasiesie ne ho ama ɔko,
25 Kubanga anyeenyerezza Katonda ekikonde, ne yeegereegeranya ku oyo Ayinzabyonna,
ɛfiri sɛ ɔtenetene ne nsa kyerɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔma ne ho so tia Otumfoɔ.
26 n’agenda n’ekyejo amulumbe, n’engabo ennene enzito.
Wɔde akokyɛm a emu pi na ɛyɛ den kɔ ne so a wɔnsuro no.
27 “Wadde nga yenna yagejja amaaso ng’ajjudde amasavu mu mbiriizi,
“Ɛwom sɛ sradeɛ ama wɔn afono atotɔ na wɔn asene mu ɛnam agu mmɛbɛ deɛ,
28 wakubeera mu bibuga eby’amatongo, ne mu bifulukwa, ennyumba ezigwa okufuuka ebifunfugu.
nanso wɔbɛtena nkuro a aguo so na wɔatena afie a obi nte mu, afie a ɛrebubu mu.
29 Taddeyo kugaggawala, n’obugagga bwe tebulirwawo, n’ebintu by’alina tebirifuna mirandira mu ttaka.
Wɔrenkɔ so nyɛ adefoɔ bio, na wɔn ahonya rennyina, na wɔn agyapadeɛ so bɛte na ayera wɔ asase so.
30 Taliwona kizikiza, olulimi lw’omuliro lunaakazanga amatabi ge, era omukka gw’omu kamwa gulimugobera wala.
Esum bɛduru wɔn; ogyaframa bɛkusa wɔn mman, na Onyankopɔn anom ahomeguo bɛsoa wɔn akɔ.
31 Alemenga okwerimba nga yeesiga ebitaliimu, kubanga talina ky’ajja kuganyulwa.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho to nneɛma huhuo so de daadaa wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ wɔrennya hwee mfiri mu.
32 Wa kusasulwa byonna ng’obudde tebunnatuuka, n’amatabi ge tegalikula.
Ansa na wɔn da bɛduru no, wɔbɛtua wɔn ka a ebi renka, na wɔn mman renyɛ frɔmfrɔm.
33 Aliba ng’omuzabbibu ogugiddwako emizabbibu egitannaba kwengera, ng’omuzeyituuni ogukunkumula ebikoola byagwo.
Wɔbɛyɛ sɛ bobedua a wɔapore so aba a ɛnnyiniiɛ, te sɛ ngo dua a ne nhyerɛnne repore gu fam.
34 Kubanga ekibiina ky’abatatya Katonda kinaabeeranga kigumba, era omuliro gunaayokyanga weema ezinaabangamu enguzi.
Na abɔnefoɔ fekuo a wɔnnim Onyankopɔn no renso aba, na ogya bɛhye wɔn a wɔdɔ kɛtɛasehyɛ no ntomadan.
35 Baba embuto ez’ekibi ne bazaala obutali butuukirivu, embuto zaabwe zizaala obulimba.”
Wɔnyinsɛn ɔhaw na wɔwo amumuyɛ; wɔn awotwaa siesie nnaadaa.”
