Engero 1
1 Engero za Sulemaani, mutabani wa Dawudi, kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Izaga zikaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, inkosi yako-Israyeli:
2 Yaziwandiika okuyigiriza abantu okuba n’amagezi n’okuyiga, era n’okutegeera ebigambo eby’obulabufu; eby’obulamu eby’amagezi n’empisa.
ukuba abantu bazuze ukuhlakanipha lokuzithiba; ukuba bazwisise amazwi okuqedisisa;
3 Sulemaani yayagala abantu okuba n’empisa, n’obulamu obw’amagezi, okukolanga ebituufu, n’okubeera abenkanya n’okugobereranga ensonga;
ukuba bazuze impilo yokuzithiba lobuqotho, besenza okulungileyo, okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo;
4 okuyigiriza amagezi abatalina bumanyirivu, n’abavubuka okufuna okumanya n’okutegeera.
ukunika ulwazi kwabayizithutha, ulwazi lokukhetha okuqondileyo kwabatsha
5 N’abantu ab’amagezi nabo bwe bawulira beeyongere okuyiga n’abategeevu beeyongere okubangulwa.
ukuthi ohlakaniphileyo alalele engeze ukufunda kwakhe, kuthi obonisisayo azuze izeluleko,
6 Era engero zino zaawandiikibwa okutegeera engero, enjogera n’ebikokyo.
ukuba abantu bazwisise izaga lemizekeliso, izitsho lamalibho abahlakaniphileyo.
7 Kale mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera, naye abasirusiru banyooma amagezi n’okulagirirwa.
Ukwesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, kodwa iziwula ziyakweyisa ukuqedisisa lokuzithiba.
8 Mwana wange ossangayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro bya kitaawo, era tolekanga kukuutira kwa maama wo;
Lalela, ndodana yami, izeluleko zikayihlo njalo ungadeli imfundiso kanyoko.
9 bijja kuba ngule eneeweesanga omutwe gwo ekitiibwa, n’emikuufu mu bulago bwo.
Kuzakuba ngumqhele omuhle ekhanda lakho lomgaxo wokucecisa intamo yakho.
10 Mwana wange abakozi b’ebibi bwe bakusendasendanga, tokkirizanga.
Ndodana yami, aluba izoni zikuhuga, ungaze wavuma.
11 Bwe bakugambanga nti, “Tugende ffenna twesanyuse, tunyage, tubbe n’okutta; tokkirizanga;
Nxa zisithi, “Woza sihambe; kasicathamele abantu sichithe igazi, kasicwathele omunye umuntu ongelacala;
12 ng’entaana bw’emira abantu, naffe tubamire tutyo nga bakyali balamu, era nga balamba, ng’abagenda mu bunnya obuwanvu; (Sheol h7585)
kasibaginye bephila njengengcwaba, sibajwamule njengabawele emgodini; (Sheol h7585)
13 nga twefunira eby’obugagga bye tutakoleredde, ne tujjuza amayumba gaffe obugagga obubbe;
sizazuza impahla ezinhle ezehlukeneyo sigcwalise izindlu zethu ngempango;
14 ng’ababi batuyita tubeegatteko, tugabane kyenkanyi ebibbe n’ebinyage.”
phathisana lathi ukuze sibelesikhwama sinye”
15 Mwana wange totambuliranga wamu nabo, era ekigere kyo kiziyize okukwatanga ekkubo lyabwe:
ndodana yami, ungahambi lazo, ungalugxobi olwakho ezindleleni zazo;
16 Kubanga ebigere byabwe bidduka bunnambiro okukola ebibi, era kibanguyira okuyiwa omusaayi.
ngoba ezabo inyawo zigijima ekoneni, bachitha igazi lula.
17 Nga kuba kumala biseera okutega omutego, ng’ekinyonyi ky’oyagala okukwata kikulaba,
Kakusizi ukuthiya ngembule lithe dandalazi emehlweni ezinyoni!
18 naye abantu ng’abo baba beetega bokka, baba beetega omutego ogunaabakwasa bo bennyini.
Abantu laba bacathamela ukuchitheka kwelabo igazi; bajuma okwabo ukuphila.
19 Bwe lityo bwe libeera ekkubo lya buli muntu anoonya okugaggawalira mu bukyamu. Obugagga obw’engeri eyo busaanyaawo obulamu bw’abo ababufuna.
Sinjalo isiphetho salabo abadinga inzuzo ngobugebenga; kuyayichitha impilo yalabo abayitholayo.
20 Amagezi galeekaanira waggulu mu nguudo; gayimusa amaloboozi gaago, mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu bibuga.
Ukuhlakanipha kuyamemeza emgwaqweni, kuphakamisa ilizwi lakho ezinkundleni;
21 Ne galeekaanira waggulu, mu kifo enguudo ennene we zisisinkanira, era gasinzira mu miryango gy’ekibuga ne googera:
kuyanqongoloza lezindleleni okuxokozela khona, kuyatshumayela emasangweni omuzi kuthi:
22 Mulituusa ddi mmwe ab’amagezi amatono obutayagala kweyongera kuyiga by’amagezi, nammwe ab’amalala okunyoomanga eby’amagezi n’abasirusiru okukyawanga okumanya?
“Koze kube nini lina zithutha lithanda ubuthutha benu na? Koze kube nini izideleli zikholisa ukudelela leziphukuphuku zizonda ulwazi na?
23 Kale singa muwuliriza okunenya kwange, laba, ndifuka omutima gwange n’ebirowoozo byange mu mmwe.
Lalelani ukukhuza kwami liphenduke! Ngizalivulela isifuba sami, ngilivezele imicabango yami.
24 Kubanga na bayita ne mugaana okuwuliriza, ne ngolola omukono ne wataba n’omu afaayo,
Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi langifulathela ngilibiza, kwangabi khona onginanzayo ngiselula isandla sami,
25 era ne mutafaayo ku magezi ge nabawa, era ne mugaana okubuulirira kwange kwonna,
njengoba lala izeluleko zami njalo kalavuma ukukhuza kwami,
26 kale nange ndibasekerera nga muli mu nnaku, era mbakudaalire ng’entiisa ebagwiridde.
ngakho lami ngizahleka selihlupheka; ngizaliklolodela nxa lisehlelwa lusizi,
27 Entiisa bw’eribajjira ng’omuyaga omungi, ennaku n’okubonaabona, okulumwa n’obubalagaze,
nxa usizi lulehlela njengesiphepho; nxa incithakalo ilikhukhula njengesivunguzane, nxa usizi lezinhlupheko ziligabhela.
28 kale balinkoowoola, naye siriyitaba; balinnoonya obutaweera naye ne batandaba.
Lapho-ke bazangibiza kodwa kangiyikusabela; bazangidinga bangangitholi.
29 Kubanga baakyawa okuyigirizibwa, n’okumanya, era ne bamalirira obutatya Mukama.
Ngoba babeluzonda ulwazi kabaze bakhetha ukwesaba uThixo
30 Ne bagaana okuwuliriza amagezi gange; ne banyooma okunenya kwange kwonna.
ngoba kabavumanga iseluleko sami, badelela ukukhuza kwami,
31 Kyebaliva balya ebibala eby’ekkubo lyabwe ebbi, era ne bajjula ebibala eby’enkwe zaabwe.
bazakudla izithelo zokuhamba kwabo basuthiswe ngezithelo zamacebo abo.
32 Obusirusiru bulitta ab’amagezi amatono n’obutafaayo bulizikiriza abasirusiru,
Phela ubuhlongandlebe bezithutha buzazibulala, lokungananzi kweziphukuphuku kuzazibhubhisa;
33 naye buli ampuliriza anaabeeranga mirembe, ng’agumye nga talina kutya kwonna.
kodwa lowo ongilalelayo uzahlala evikelekile ekhululekile, engesabi lutho olungamlimaza.”
