2 Yaziwandiika okuyigiriza abantu okuba n’amagezi n’okuyiga, era n’okutegeera ebigambo eby’obulabufu; eby’obulamu eby’amagezi n’empisa.
Ne botaeɛ ne sɛ ɛbɛkyerɛ nnipa nyansa ne ahohyɛsoɔ; ne sɛ ɛbɛboa ma wɔate nsɛm a emu dɔ ase;
3 Sulemaani yayagala abantu okuba n’empisa, n’obulamu obw’amagezi, okukolanga ebituufu, n’okubeera abenkanya n’okugobereranga ensonga;
sɛ wɔbɛnya ahohyɛsoɔ na wɔabɔ ɔbra pa, a ɛbɛma wɔayɛ ade pa, deɛ ɛtene na ɛho nni asɛm;
4 okuyigiriza amagezi abatalina bumanyirivu, n’abavubuka okufuna okumanya n’okutegeera.
sɛ ɛbɛma deɛ nʼadwene mu nnɔ anya nyansa na mmabunu anya nimdeɛ ne adwene.
5 N’abantu ab’amagezi nabo bwe bawulira beeyongere okuyiga n’abategeevu beeyongere okubangulwa.
Anyansafoɔ ntie na wɔmfa nka deɛ wɔnim ho, na deɛ ɔwɔ nhunumu nya akwankyerɛ a
6 Era engero zino zaawandiikibwa okutegeera engero, enjogera n’ebikokyo.
ɛbɛma woate mmɛ ne akasabɛbuo, anyansafoɔ nsɛnka ne aborɔme ase.
7 Kale mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera, naye abasirusiru banyooma amagezi n’okulagirirwa.
Awurade suro yɛ nimdeɛ ahyɛaseɛ, na nkwaseafoɔ bu nyansa ne ahohyɛsoɔ animtiaa.
8 Mwana wange ossangayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro bya kitaawo, era tolekanga kukuutira kwa maama wo;
Me ba, tie wʼagya akwankyerɛ na mpo wo maame nkyerɛkyerɛ.
9 bijja kuba ngule eneeweesanga omutwe gwo ekitiibwa, n’emikuufu mu bulago bwo.
Ɛbɛyɛ wo tiri animuonyam abotire ne wo kɔn mu ntweaban.
10 Mwana wange abakozi b’ebibi bwe bakusendasendanga, tokkirizanga.
Me ba, sɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ daadaa wo a, mma wɔn ho ɛkwan.
11 Bwe bakugambanga nti, “Tugende ffenna twesanyuse, tunyage, tubbe n’okutta; tokkirizanga;
Sɛ wɔka sɛ, “Bra ma yɛnkɔ; ma yɛnkɔtetɛ na yɛnkum obi, ma yɛnkɔtɛ ntwɛn mmɔborɔni bi;
12 ng’entaana bw’emira abantu, naffe tubamire tutyo nga bakyali balamu, era nga balamba, ng’abagenda mu bunnya obuwanvu; (Sheol h7585)
ma yɛmmemmene wɔn anikann sɛ ɛda, yɛmmene wɔn sɛ wɔn a wɔkɔ damena mu; (Sheol h7585)
13 nga twefunira eby’obugagga bye tutakoleredde, ne tujjuza amayumba gaffe obugagga obubbe;
yɛbɛnya nneɛma a ɛsom bo ahodoɔ na yɛde afodeɛ ahyɛ yɛn afie ma;
14 ng’ababi batuyita tubeegatteko, tugabane kyenkanyi ebibbe n’ebinyage.”
enti, fa wo ho bɛhyɛ mu, na wobɛnya wo kyɛfa wɔ ahonyadeɛ no mu” a,
15 Mwana wange totambuliranga wamu nabo, era ekigere kyo kiziyize okukwatanga ekkubo lyabwe:
Me ba, wo ne wɔn nnante, mfa wo nan nsi wɔn akwan so;
16 Kubanga ebigere byabwe bidduka bunnambiro okukola ebibi, era kibanguyira okuyiwa omusaayi.
Wɔn nan de ntɛmpɛ kɔ bɔne mu, na wɔde ahoɔherɛ ka mogya gu.
17 Nga kuba kumala biseera okutega omutego, ng’ekinyonyi ky’oyagala okukwata kikulaba,
Ɛho nni mfasoɔ sɛ obi bɛsum nnomaafidie wɔ ɛberɛ a nnomaa nyinaa hwɛ!
18 naye abantu ng’abo baba beetega bokka, baba beetega omutego ogunaabakwasa bo bennyini.
Saa nnipa yi tetɛ pɛ wɔn ankasa mogya; wɔtetɛ wɔn ankasa wɔn ho!
19 Bwe lityo bwe libeera ekkubo lya buli muntu anoonya okugaggawalira mu bukyamu. Obugagga obw’engeri eyo busaanyaawo obulamu bw’abo ababufuna.
Saa na wɔn a wɔdi korɔnodeɛ akyi no awieeɛ teɛ; ɛma wɔhwere wɔn nkwa!
20 Amagezi galeekaanira waggulu mu nguudo; gayimusa amaloboozi gaago, mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu bibuga.
Nyansa team wɔ mmɔntene so, ɔma ne nne so wɔ adwaberem,
21 Ne galeekaanira waggulu, mu kifo enguudo ennene we zisisinkanira, era gasinzira mu miryango gy’ekibuga ne googera:
ɔteaam wɔ afasuo no atifi, ɔkasa wɔ kuropɔn no apono ano sɛ,
22 Mulituusa ddi mmwe ab’amagezi amatono obutayagala kweyongera kuyiga by’amagezi, nammwe ab’amalala okunyoomanga eby’amagezi n’abasirusiru okukyawanga okumanya?
“Mo adwenemherɛfoɔ, mobɛyɛ adwenemherɛ akɔsi da bɛn? Fɛdifoɔ bɛdi fɛ akɔsi da bɛn? Nkwaseafoɔ bɛkyiri nimdeɛ akɔsi da bɛn?
23 Kale singa muwuliriza okunenya kwange, laba, ndifuka omutima gwange n’ebirowoozo byange mu mmwe.
Sɛ motiee mʼaninka a, anka mekaa mʼakoma mu nsɛm nyinaa kyerɛɛ mo maa mo hunuu me nsusuiɛ.
24 Kubanga na bayita ne mugaana okuwuliriza, ne ngolola omukono ne wataba n’omu afaayo,
Nanso, sɛ moyii mo aso ɛberɛ a mefrɛɛ mo na amfa obiara ho ɛberɛ a metenee me nsa mu,
25 era ne mutafaayo ku magezi ge nabawa, era ne mugaana okubuulirira kwange kwonna,
sɛ mopoo mʼafotuo, na moampɛ mʼanimka enti,
26 kale nange ndibasekerera nga muli mu nnaku, era mbakudaalire ng’entiisa ebagwiridde.
me nso mɛsere mo wɔ mo amanehunu mu; sɛ abɛbrɛsɛ bi bu fa mo so a, medi mo ho fɛw,
27 Entiisa bw’eribajjira ng’omuyaga omungi, ennaku n’okubonaabona, okulumwa n’obubalagaze,
sɛ abɛbrɛsɛ bi bu fa mo so te sɛ ahum, na amanehunu bi bɔ fa mo so sɛ twahoframa, na awerɛhoɔ ne ɔhaw mene mo a,
28 kale balinkoowoola, naye siriyitaba; balinnoonya obutaweera naye ne batandaba.
“Afei mobɛfrɛ me, nanso meremmua mo; mobɛhwehwɛ me, nanso morenhunu me.
29 Kubanga baakyawa okuyigirizibwa, n’okumanya, era ne bamalirira obutatya Mukama.
Esiane sɛ wɔkyirii nimdeɛ na wɔampɛ sɛ wobɛsuro Awurade.
30 Ne bagaana okuwuliriza amagezi gange; ne banyooma okunenya kwange kwonna.
Esiane sɛ w ɔpoo mʼafotuo, na wɔbuu me ntenesoɔ animtiaa enti,
31 Kyebaliva balya ebibala eby’ekkubo lyabwe ebbi, era ne bajjula ebibala eby’enkwe zaabwe.
wɔbɛdi wɔn akwan so aba na wɔn nhyehyɛeɛ mu aduane bɛmee wɔn.
32 Obusirusiru bulitta ab’amagezi amatono n’obutafaayo bulizikiriza abasirusiru,
Na ntetekwaafoɔ asoɔden bɛkum wɔn, na nkwaseafoɔ tirimudɛ bɛsɛe wɔn;
33 naye buli ampuliriza anaabeeranga mirembe, ng’agumye nga talina kutya kwonna.
Nanso, obiara a ɔbɛtie me no, ɔbɛtena ase asomdwoeɛ mu na ne ho bɛtɔ no a ɔrensuro ɔhaw biara.”
