Engero 23
1 Bw’otuulanga okulya n’omufuzi, weetegerezanga ebiri mu maaso go;
Ngati ukhala pansi kuti udye pamodzi ndi wolamulira, uyangʼane bwino zimene zili pamaso pako,
2 era weegendereze bw’obanga omanyi ng’olulunkanira ebyokulya.
ngati ndiwe munthu wadyera udziletse kuti usaonetse dyera lakolo.
3 Tolulunkanira mmere ye ennungi, kubanga erimbalimba.
Usasirire zakudya zake, pakuti zimenezo ndi zakudya zachinyengo.
4 Teweemalangako mirembe ng’oyaayaanira obugagga; weefuge obeere mukkakkamu.
Usadzitopetse wekha ndi kufuna chuma, ukhale ndi nzeru ya kudziretsa.
5 Eby’obugagga obikubako eriiso limu nga by’agenze dda, kubanga ddala bimera ebiwaawaatiro ne bibuuka mu bbanga ng’empungu.
Ukangoti wachipeza chumacho uwona posachedwa kuti palibepo. Chumacho chimachita ngati chamera mapiko mwadzidzidzi ndi kuwuluka kunka kumwamba ngati chiwombankhanga.
6 Tolyanga mmere ya muntu mukodo, wadde okwegomba ebirungi by’alya.
Usadye chakudya cha munthu waumbombo, usalakalake zakudya zake zokoma;
7 Kubanga ye muntu abalirira ensimbi z’asaasaanyizza, n’akugamba nti, “Weeriire, weenywere,” naye ng’omutima gwe tegukusanyukira.
paja iye ndi munthu amene nthawi zonse amaganizira za mtengo wake ngakhale amati kwa iwe, “Idya ndi kumwa,” koma sakondweretsedwa nawe.
8 Akatono k’onooba olidde onookasesema, ebigambo byo ebirungi eby’okwebaza bibe bya bwereere.
Udzasanza zimene wadyazo ndipo mawu ako woyamikira adzapita pachabe.
9 Totegana kubuulirira musirusiru, kubanga ajja kunyooma ebigambo byo eby’amagezi.
Usayankhule munthu wopusa akumva, pakuti adzanyoza mawu ako anzeru.
10 Tojjululanga nsalo ey’edda, so toyingiriranga nnimiro za bamulekwa,
Usasunthe mwala wa mʼmalire akalekale kapena kulowerera mʼminda ya ana amasiye,
11 kubanga abalwanirira w’amaanyi, alikuggulako omusango.
paja Mpulumutsi wawo ndi wamphamvu; iye adzawateteza pa milandu yawo kutsutsana nawe.
12 Ossangayo omwoyo eri okuyigirizibwa, n’amatu go eri ebigambo by’okutegeera.
Mtima wako uzikhala pa malangizo ndipo makutu ako azimvetsera mawu a chidziwitso.
13 Tolekangayo kukangavvula mwana, bw’omubonereza n’akaggo tekimutta.
Usaleke kumulangiza mwana; ngati umulanga ndi chikwapu sadzafa.
Ukamukwapula ndi tsatsa udzapulumutsa moyo wake. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mwana wange, bw’oba n’omutima ogw’amagezi, kinsanyusa.
Mwana wanga, ngati mtima wako ukhala wanzeru, inenso mtima wanga udzakondwera.
16 Nnaajjaguzanga okuva ku ntobo y’omutima gwange, bw’onooyogeranga ebituufu.
Mtima wanga udzakondwera pamene ndidzakumva ukuyankhula zolungama.
17 Omutima gwo gulemenga okukwatirwa aboonoonyi obuggya, kyokka nyiikira okutya Mukama ebbanga lyonna.
Mtima wako usachite nsanje ndi anthu ochimwa, koma uziopa Yehova tsiku ndi tsiku.
18 Mazima ddala onoobanga n’essuubi mu biseera eby’omu maaso, n’essuubi lyo eryo teririggwaawo.
Ndithu za mʼtsogolo zilipo ndipo chiyembekezo chakocho sichidzalephereka.
19 Mwana wange wulirizanga, obeerenga n’amagezi, okumenga omutima gwo mu kkubo ettuufu.
Tamvera mwana wanga, ndipo ukhale wanzeru, mtima wako uwuyendetse mʼnjira yabwino.
20 Teweegattanga ku abo abeekamirira omwenge, n’abalulunkanira ennyama:
Usakhale pakati pa anthu amene amaledzera kapena pakati pa anthu amene amadya nyama mwadyera.
21 Kubanga omutamiivu n’omuluvu baavuwala, n’okubongoota olutata kubambaza enziina.
Paja anthu oledzera ndi adyera amadzakhala amphawi ndipo aulesi adzavala sanza.
22 Wulirizanga kitaawo eyakuzaala, so togayanga nnyoko ng’akaddiye.
Mvera abambo ako amene anakubala, usanyoze amayi ako pamene akalamba.
23 Gula amazima so togatunda, ffuna amagezi, n’okuyigirizibwa n’okutegeera.
Gula choonadi ndipo usachigulitse; ugulenso nzeru, mwambo ndiponso kumvetsa zinthu bwino.
24 Kitaawe w’omutuukirivu alina essanyu lingi, n’oyo azaala omwana ow’amagezi amwenyumiririzaamu.
Abambo a munthu wolungama ali ndi chimwemwe chachikulu; Wobala mwana wanzeru adzakondwera naye.
25 Leka kitaawo ne nnyoko basanyuke, omukazi eyakuzaala ajaguzenga.
Abambo ndi amayi ako asangalale; amene anakubereka akondwere!
26 Mwana wange mpa omutima gwo, n’amaaso go geekalirize amakubo gange,
Mwana wanga, undikhulupirire ndipo maso ako apenyetsetse njira zanga.
27 kubanga omukazi omwenzi lukonko luwanvu, n’omukazi omubambaavu luzzi lufunda.
Paja mkazi wachiwerewere ali ngati dzenje lozama; ndipo mkazi woyendayenda ali ngati chitsime chopapatiza.
28 Ateega ng’omutemu, n’ayongera ku muwendo gw’abasajja abatali beesigwa eri bakazi baabwe.
Amabisala ngati mbala yachifwamba, ndipo amuna amakhala osakhulupirika chifukwa cha iyeyu.
29 Ani alina obuyinike? Ani alina ennaku? Ani alina ennyombo? Ani alina okwemulugunya? Ani alina ebiwundu eby’obwereere? Ani amyuse amaaso?
Ndani ali ndi tsoka? Ndani ali ndi chisoni? Ndani ali pa mkangano? Ndani ali ndi madandawulo? Ndani ali ndi zipsera zosadziwika uko zachokera? Ndani ali ndi maso ofiira?
30 Abo abatava ku mwenge, nga bagenda baloza ku mwenge omutabule.
Ndi amene amakhalitsa pa mowa, amene amapita nalawa vinyo osakanizidwa.
31 Totunuulira wayini ng’amyuse, bw’atemaganira mu ggiraasi ng’akka empolampola;
Usatengeke mtima ndi kufiira kwa vinyo, pamene akuwira mʼchikho pamene akumweka bwino!
32 ku nkomerero aluma ng’omusota, wa busagwa ng’essalambwa.
Potsiriza pake amaluma ngati njoka, ndipo amajompha ngati mphiri.
33 Amaaso go galiraba ebyewuunyo, n’omutwe gwo ne gulowooza ebitategeerekeka.
Maso ako adzaona zinthu zachilendo ndipo maganizo ndi mawu ako adzakhala osokonekera.
34 Oliba ng’omuntu eyeebase wakati mu nnyanja, obanga oyo alengejjera waggulu ku mulongooti.
Udzakhala ngati munthu amene ali gone pakati pa nyanja, kapena ngati munthu wogona pa msonga ya mlongoti ya ngalawa.
35 Olyogera nti, “Bankubye, naye sirumiddwa. Bankubye naye sirina kye mpuliddemu. Nnaazuukuka ddi, neeyongere okunywa?”
Iwe udzanena kuti, “Anandimenya, koma sindinapwetekedwe! Andimenya koma sindinamve kanthu! Kodi ndidzuka nthawi yanji? Ndiye ndifunefunenso vinyo wina.”
