5 awo w’olitegeerera okutya Mukama, era n’ovumbula okumanya Katonda.
khona uzaqedisisa ukuyesaba iNkosi, uthole ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu.
6 Kubanga Mukama awa amagezi; era mu kamwa ke muvaamu okumanya n’okutegeera.
Ngoba iNkosi inika inhlakanipho; ulwazi lokuqedisisa kuvela emlonyeni wayo.
7 Mukama aterekera abatuukirivu amagezi amalungi, era aba ngabo y’abo abatambulira mu bugolokofu.
Iyababekela abaqotho inhlakanipho eqotho; iyisihlangu kubo abahamba ngokuqonda,
8 Abatambuliza mu makubo ag’obwenkanya, era bw’atyo Mukama akuuma ekkubo ly’abatukuvu be.
ukugcina indlela zesahlulelo; izalondoloza indlela zabangcwele bayo.
9 Olwo lw’olitegeera obutuukirivu, amazima n’obwenkanya; weewaawo buli kkubo eddungi.
Khona uzaqedisisa ukulunga, lesahlulelo, lokuqonda; yonke indlela elungileyo.
10 Kubanga amagezi galiyingira mu mutima gwo, n’okumanya kulisanyusa omwoyo gwo.
Lapho inhlakanipho izangena enhliziyweni yakho, lolwazi lube mnandi emphefumulweni wakho;
11 Okwesalirawo obulungi kunaakulabiriranga n’okutegeera kunaakukuumanga:
ingqondo izakugcina, ukuqedisisa kukulondoloze;
12 Amagezi ganaakuwonyanga ekkubo ly’omubi, n’abantu aboogera eby’obugwagwa,
ukukophula endleleni embi, emuntwini okhuluma izinto eziphambeneyo;
13 abaleka amakubo ag’obutuukirivu ne batambulira mu makubo ag’ekizikiza,
abatshiya indlela zobuqotho, ukuze bahambe ngendlela zobumnyama;
14 abasanyukira okukola ebikolwa ebibi, abanyumirwa eby’obusirusiru,
abathokoza ngokwenza okubi, bejabula ekuphambukeni komubi;
15 abantu abo be b’amakubo amakyamu, era abakujjukujju mu ngeri zaabwe.
abandlela zabo ziphambene, begobile emikhondweni yabo;
16 Amagezi Mukama g’awa ge gokka agajja okukuwonya ekkubo ly’omukazi omwenzi, n’okukuwonya ebigambo bye ebisendasenda,
ukukophula kowesifazana wemzini, kowezizwe okhohlisa ngamazwi akhe;
17 eyaleka bba ow’omu buvubuka bwe era eyeerabira endagaano gye yakola mu maaso ga Katonda we.
otshiya umngane wobutsha bakhe, ekhohlwa isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wakhe;
18 Kubanga ennyumba ye ekka mu kufa, n’amakubo ge galaga eri abafu.
ngoba indlu yakhe itshonela ekufeni, lemikhondo yakhe emimoyeni efileyo.
19 Tewali n’omu agenda ewuwe adda wadde okufunirayo amakubo g’obulamu.
Bonke abangena kuye kabayikubuya, njalo kabayikufinyelela endleleni zempilo.
20 Kale tambuliranga mu kkubo ly’abo abatya Katonda era onywerere mu makubo g’abatuukirivu.
Ukuze uhambe endleleni yabalungileyo, ugcine imikhondo yamalungisa.
21 Kubanga abatuukirivu balituula mu nsi, era abo abagolokofu baligisigalamu.
Ngoba abaqotho bazahlala elizweni, labapheleleyo basale kulo;
22 Naye abakozi b’ebibi balifiirwa ebirungi eby’ensi, n’abatali beesigwa balizikirizibwa.
kodwa abakhohlakeleyo bazaqunywa basuswe elizweni, labaphambekayo badatshulwe basuswe kulo.
