Engero 17
1 Okulya akamere akaluma awali emirembe, kisinga okuba mu nnyumba ejjudde ebyassava nga mulimu entalo.
Ucezu olomileyo lokuthula kanye lalo lungcono kulendlu egcwele imihlatshelo lengxabano.
2 Omuddu omugezi alifuga omwana wa bowo akwasa ensonyi, era alifuna ebyobusika ng’omu ku baana b’awaka.
Inceku ehlakaniphileyo izabusa phezu kwendodana eyangisayo, yehlukanise ilifa phakathi kwezelamani.
3 Entamu erongoosa yakolebwa lwa ffeeza, n’ekikoomi ky’okulongoosa lwa zaabu, naye Mukama agezesa emitima.
Imbiza yokuncibilikisa ngeyesiliva, lesithando ngesegolide, kodwa iNkosi ihlola izinhliziyo.
4 Omubi assaayo omwoyo eri eby’obulimba, era n’omulimba awuliriza olulimi olukuusa.
Umenzi wobubi ulalela indebe ekhohlakeleyo; umqambimanga ubeka indlebe olimini oluchithayo.
5 Oyo akudaalira omwavu avvoola eyamutonda, n’oyo asanyukira obuyinike bw’abalala talirema kubonerezebwa.
Oklolodela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe; othokoza encithakalweni kayikuba msulwa.
6 Abazzukulu ngule ya bajjajjaabwe, era n’abaana beenyumiririza mu bakadde baabwe.
Abantwana babantwana bangumqhele wabadala, lodumo lwabantwana ngoyise.
7 Enjogerannungi teba ya musirusiru, ng’oweekitiibwa bw’atasaana kwogera bya bulimba.
Indebe elobungcwethi kayisifanelanga isithutha; kakhulu kangakanani indebe yamanga isiphathamandla.
8 Enguzi eri ng’ejjinja ery’omufuusa mu maaso g’oyo agigaba, alowooza nti buli gy’akyukira eneemuyamba.
Isipho siyilitshe eliligugu emehlweni abaniniso; loba ngaphi esiphendukela khona sizaphumelela.
9 Okwagala tekulondoola nsobi, naye oyo atasonyiwa nsobi akyawaganya ab’omukwano enfirabulago.
Osibekela isiphambeko udinga uthando, kodwa ophindaphinda udaba wehlukanisa umngane oseduze.
10 Okunenya kuyamba nnyo omuntu ategeera, okusinga okukuba omusirusiru embooko ekikumi.
Ukukhuza kuyajula koqedisisayo kulokutshaya isithutha ngokulikhulu.
11 Omukozi w’ebibi anoonya bujeemu bwereere, era kyaliva asindikirwa omubaka omukambwe.
Omubi udinga ububi kuphela, kodwa isithunywa esilesihluku sizathunyelwa kuye.
12 Okusisinkana eddubu enyagiddwako abaana baayo, kisinga okusisinkana omusirusiru mu busirusiru bwe.
Kakuthi ibhere elifelwe yimidlwane lihlangane lomuntu, kodwa hatshi isithutha ebuthutheni baso.
13 Omuntu bw’asasula ekibi olw’obulungi, ekibi tekiriva mu nnyumba ye.
Ophindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle, ububi kabuyikusuka endlini yakhe.
14 Okutandika oluyombo kuli ng’omuntu bw’asumulula omudumu gw’amazzi, noolwekyo vvaawo ng’oluyombo terunnatandika.
Ukuqala kwenkani kunjengokuvulela amanzi; ngakho yekela ingxabano ingakazivezi.
15 Eyejjeereza omukozi w’ebibi n’oyo avumirira omutuukirivu, bombi ba muzizo eri Mukama.
Olungisisa omubi lolahla olungileyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, ngitsho bobabili.
16 Omusirusiru agasibwa ki okuba ne ssente ezisasulibwa amagezi, ng’ate ye talina mutima gwegomba magezi?
Kungani kulemali yokuthenga inhlakanipho esandleni sesithutha, lokhu singelangqondo?
17 Omukwano ogw’amagezi guba gwa lubeerera, era owooluganda yeesigibwa mu biro eby’ennaku.
Umngane uyathanda ngaso sonke isikhathi, lomzalwane uzalelwa inhlupheko.
18 Omuntu atalina magezi awa obweyamo ne yeetema okusasula amabanja ga muliraanwa we.
Umuntu oswela ingqondo uyabambana ngezandla ukuba yisibambiso phambi kukamakhelwane wakhe.
19 Oyo ayagala ekibi anyumirwa ennyombo, n’oyo akola omulyango omunene ogw’omu maaso gwa bbugwe ye nga guyitiridde obunene gulimuteganya nnyo.
Othanda isiphambeko uthanda inkani; ophakamisa umnyango wakhe udinga ukubhujiswa.
20 Omuntu ow’omutima omubambaavu takulaakulana, n’oyo ow’olulimi olulimba agwa mu katyabaga.
Olenhliziyo ephambeneyo katholi okuhle, lophambene ngolimi uwela ebubini.
21 Omwana omusirusiru aleetera kitaawe obuyinike, kitaawe w’omusirusiru taba na ssanyu.
Ozala isithutha, sizakuba lusizi kuye; loyise wesithutha kathokozi.
22 Omutima ogw’essanyu ddagala ddungi, naye omwoyo omunyiikaavu gukozza omubiri.
Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza kuhle njengomuthi, kodwa umoya owephukileyo womisa amathambo.
23 Omuntu omubi alya enguzi mu kyama, alyoke aziyize amazima okweyoleka.
Omubi uthatha isipho esifubeni ukuphambula izindlela zesahlulelo.
24 Omuntu omutegeevu, ebirowoozo abissa eri amagezi, naye amaaso g’omusirusiru gasamaalirira ensi gy’ekoma.
Inhlakanipho iphambi koqedisisayo, kodwa amehlo esithutha asekucineni komhlaba.
25 Omwana omusirusiru buyinike eri kitaawe, era aleeta ennaku eri nnyina eyamuzaala.
Indodana eyisiwula ilusizi kuyise, iyikubaba kowayizalayo.
26 Si kirungi okuweesa omutuukirivu engassi ey’obwereere wadde okukuba ab’ekitiibwa embooko olw’obwesimbu bwabwe.
Ukuhlawulisa olungileyo lakho kakulunganga, lokutshaya iziphathamandla ngenxa yobuqotho.
27 Omuntu omwegendereza mu bigambo bye abeera n’okutegeera, n’oyo alina omwoyo omuteefu aba muntu wa magezi.
Owazi ulwazi ugodla amazwi akhe; umuntu oqedisisayo ulomoya opholileyo.
28 Omusirusiru bw’asirika alowoozebwa okuba n’amugezi, era aba mutegeevu bw’afuga akamwa ke.
Isithutha esithuleyo laso sithiwa sihlakaniphile; ovala indebe zakhe uthiwa uyaqedisisa.
