1 Mwana wange, bw’onookwatanga ebigambo byange, n’otereka ebiragiro byange mu bulamu bwo,
Mwana wanga, ngati ulandira mawu anga ndi kusunga malamulo anga mu mtima mwako,
2 era n’ossaayo omwoyo eri amagezi, era n’ossa omutima gwo eri okutegeera,
ndiponso kutchera khutu lako ku nzeru ndi kuyikapo mtima pa kumvetsa zinthu;
3 ddala ddala singa oyaayaanira okumanya era n’oyimusa eddoboozi lyo osabe okutegeera,
ngati upempha kuti uzindikire zinthu inde kupempha ndi mtima wonse kuti ukhale womvetsa zinthu,
4 bw’onooganoonyanga nga ffeeza, era n’oganoonyanga ng’ekyobugagga ekyakwekebwa,
ngati ufunafuna nzeruyo ngati siliva ndi kuyisakasaka ngati chuma chobisika,
5 awo w’olitegeerera okutya Mukama, era n’ovumbula okumanya Katonda.
ndiye udzamvetsa bwino tanthauzo la kuopa Yehova; ndipo udzapezanso tanthauzo la kumudziwa Yehova.
6 Kubanga Mukama awa amagezi; era mu kamwa ke muvaamu okumanya n’okutegeera.
Pakuti Yehova ndiye amapereka nzeru, ndipo mʼkamwa mwake mumachokera chidziwitso ndi kumvetsa zinthu.
7 Mukama aterekera abatuukirivu amagezi amalungi, era aba ngabo y’abo abatambulira mu bugolokofu.
Anthu olungama zinthu zimawayendera bwino chifukwa Yehova amakhala nawo. Paja Yehova ndiye chishango cha amene amayenda mwangwiro,
8 Abatambuliza mu makubo ag’obwenkanya, era bw’atyo Mukama akuuma ekkubo ly’abatukuvu be.
pakuti ndiye mlonda wa njira zolungama. Iye amasamala mayendedwe a anthu ake okhulupirika.
9 Olwo lw’olitegeera obutuukirivu, amazima n’obwenkanya; weewaawo buli kkubo eddungi.
Choncho udzamvetsa tanthauzo la ungwiro, chilungamo, kusakondera ndi njira iliyonse yabwino.
10 Kubanga amagezi galiyingira mu mutima gwo, n’okumanya kulisanyusa omwoyo gwo.
Pakuti nzeru idzalowa mu mtima mwako, kudziwa zinthu kudzakusangalatsa.
11 Okwesalirawo obulungi kunaakulabiriranga n’okutegeera kunaakukuumanga:
Kuganizira bwino za mʼtsogolo kudzakusunga; kumvetsa zinthu bwino kudzakuteteza.
12 Amagezi ganaakuwonyanga ekkubo ly’omubi, n’abantu aboogera eby’obugwagwa,
Nzeru idzakupulumutsa ku mayendedwe oyipa, kwa anthu amabodza,
13 abaleka amakubo ag’obutuukirivu ne batambulira mu makubo ag’ekizikiza,
amene amasiya njira zolungama namayenda mʼnjira zamdima,
14 abasanyukira okukola ebikolwa ebibi, abanyumirwa eby’obusirusiru,
amene amakondwera pochita zoyipa namasangalala ndi kuyipa kwa ntchito zawo zonyansa.
15 abantu abo be b’amakubo amakyamu, era abakujjukujju mu ngeri zaabwe.
Amenewa ndi anthu a njira zawo zokhotakhota, ndipo makhalidwe awo ndi achinyengo.
16 Amagezi Mukama g’awa ge gokka agajja okukuwonya ekkubo ly’omukazi omwenzi, n’okukuwonya ebigambo bye ebisendasenda,
Nzeruyo idzakupulumutsanso kwa mkazi wachigololo; kwa mkazi wachilendo woyankhula moshashalika,
17 eyaleka bba ow’omu buvubuka bwe era eyeerabira endagaano gye yakola mu maaso ga Katonda we.
amene wasiya mwamuna wa chitsikana wake ndi kuyiwala pangano limene anachita pamaso pa Mulungu wake.
18 Kubanga ennyumba ye ekka mu kufa, n’amakubo ge galaga eri abafu.
Pakuti nyumba yake imatsetserekera ku imfa; njira zake zimamufikitsa ku manda.
19 Tewali n’omu agenda ewuwe adda wadde okufunirayo amakubo g’obulamu.
Opita kwa iye palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amabwerera kapena kupezanso njira zamoyo.
20 Kale tambuliranga mu kkubo ly’abo abatya Katonda era onywerere mu makubo g’abatuukirivu.
Choncho iwe uziyenda mʼnjira za anthu abwino, uzitsata njira za anthu ochita chilungamo.
21 Kubanga abatuukirivu balituula mu nsi, era abo abagolokofu baligisigalamu.
Pakuti anthu olungama ndiwo ati adzakhale mʼdziko ndipo anthu angwiro ndiwo ati adzakhazikike mʼmenemo;
22 Naye abakozi b’ebibi balifiirwa ebirungi eby’ensi, n’abatali beesigwa balizikirizibwa.
Koma anthu oyipa adzachotsedwa mʼdzikomo, ndipo anthu onyenga adzachotsedwamo.
