1 Zino nazo ngero za Sulemaani abasajja ba Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda ze baakoppolola.
Lalezi yizaga zikaSolomoni abantu bakaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda abazikopayo.
2 Okukisa ensonga kitiibwa kya Katonda, naye okunoonyereza ensonga kitiibwa kya bakabaka.
Kuludumo lukaNkulunkulu ukufihla udaba, kodwa kuludumo lwamakhosi ukuhlolisisa udaba.
3 Ng’eggulu bwe lyewanise waggulu ennyo n’ensi bw’ekka ennyo wansi, bwe gityo n’emitima gya bakabaka bwe gitategeerekeka.
Amazulu ngokuphakama, lomhlaba ngokujula, lenhliziyo yamakhosi kakulakuhlolisiswa.
4 Effeeza giggyeemu ebisejja, olyoke ofune omuweesi ky’anaakozesa.
Susa amanyele esiliveni, besekuphuma isitsha somncibilikisi.
5 Ggyawo abakozi b’ebibi mu maaso ga kabaka, entebe ye ey’obwakabaka eryoke enywezebwe mu butuukirivu.
Susa okhohlakeleyo phambi kwenkosi, besekuqiniswa isihlalo sayo sobukhosi ngokulunga.
6 Teweekuzanga mu maaso ga kabaka, wadde okwewa ekifo mu bantu ab’ekitiibwa.
Ungaziqhenyi phambi kwenkosi, njalo ungemi endaweni yezikhulu;
7 Kubanga okukugamba nti, “Jjangu wano mu maaso,” kisingako okukuswaza mu maaso g’ow’ekitiibwa.
ngoba kungcono kuthiwe kuwe: Yenyukela ngapha, kulokuthi wehliswe phambi kwesiphathamandla, amehlo akho asibonileyo.
8 Amaaso go bye galabye tobyanguyirizanga kubireeta mu mbuga, kubanga oluvannyuma onookola otya munno bw’anaakuswaza?
Ungaphangisi ukuphuma ukuyaphikisana, hlezi wenze ulutho ekucineni kwakho, lapho umakhelwane wakho esekuyangisile.
9 Bw’owozanga ne muliraanwa wo, tobikkulanga kyama kya muntu mulala,
Mela udaba lwakho lomakhelwane wakho, kodwa ungavezi imfihlo yomunye;
10 akiwulira aleme okukuswaza; n’onyoomebwa ebbanga lyonna.
hlezi okuzwayo akuyangise, lesigcono sakho singaphambuki.
11 Ekigambo ekyogere nga bwe kisaanidde, kiba kya muwendo nnyo nga zaabu gwe batonye mu bintu bye bakoze mu ffeeza.
Ilizwi elikhulunywe ngokufaneleyo linjengama-apula egolide ezitsheni zesiliva ezibaziweyo.
12 Ng’empeta ey’omu kutu eya zaabu, oba akakomo aka zaabu ennungi, bw’atyo omuntu ow’amagezi anenya, bw’abeera eri okutu okuwuliriza.
Isongo legolide lesiceciso segolide elihle kungumkhuzi ohlakaniphileyo endlebeni ezwayo.
13 Ng’obunnyogovu bw’omuzira bwe bubeera mu biseera eby’okukunguliramu, bw’atyo bw’abeera omubaka omwesigwa eri abo abamutuma, aweweeza emmeeme ya bakama be.
Isithunywa esithembekileyo kwabasithumileyo sinjengomqando weliqhwa elikhithikileyo ngosuku lokuvuna, ngoba sivuselela umphefumulo wamakhosi aso.
14 Ng’ebire n’empewo omutali nkuba, omuntu asuubiza ebirabo by’atagaba bw’abeera.
Umuntu oziqhenya ngesipho samanga unjengamayezi lomoya okungelazulu.
15 Okugumiikiriza okungi kuyinza okukkirizisa omufuzi, n’olulimi olw’eggonjebwa lumenya eggumba.
Ngokubekezela umbusi angavunyiswa, lolimi oluthambileyo lwephula ithambo.
16 Bw’ozuula omubisi gw’enjuki, lyako ogwo gwokka ogukumala, si kulwa ng’ogukkuta nnyo n’ogusesema.
Utholile yini uluju? Dlana okwenele wena, hlezi uludle kakhulu, uluhlanze.
17 Tokyalanga lunye ewa muliraanwa wo, si kulwa ng’akwetamwa n’akukyawa.
Unyawo lwakho kalungavami endlini kamakhelwane wakho, hlezi akusuthe akuzonde.
18 Omuntu awa obujulizi obw’obulimba ku muliraanwa we, ali ng’embuukuuli, oba ekitala, oba akasaale akoogi.
Umuntu ofakaza ubufakazi bamanga ngomakhelwane wakhe uyisagila lenkemba lomtshoko obukhali.
19 Okwesiga omuntu ateesigika, kiri ng’oli alina erinnyo eddwadde oba ekigere ekirema.
Ukuthemba ongathembekanga ngosuku lokuhlupheka kunjengezinyo elephukileyo, lonyawo olwenyeleyo.
20 Ng’omuntu eyeeyambula engoye mu kiseera eky’obutiti, era ng’omwenge omukaatuufu bwe guteekebwako oluvu, bw’atyo bw’abeera ayimbira oyo ali mu buyinike.
Ohlabelela izingoma enhliziyweni edabukileyo unjengokhupha isembatho ngosuku lwamakhaza, njengeviniga phakathi kwesoda.
21 Omulabe wo bw’aba alumwa enjala, muwe emmere alye, bw’aba alumwa ennyonta muwe amazzi anywe.
Uba okuzondayo elambile, umnike isinkwa adle, njalo uba omile, umnike amanzi anathe;
22 Kubanga oliba otuuma amanda g’omuliro ku mutwe gwe, era Mukama alikuwa empeera.
ngoba uzabekelela amalahle omlilo ekhanda lakhe, leNkosi izakuvuza.
23 Ng’empewo ey’obukiikakkono bwereeta enkuba, n’olulimi oluyomba bwe luleetera omuntu obusungu.
Umoya wenyakatho uletha izulu, lolimi lwemfihlo ubuso obulolaka.
24 Okusulanga mu kasonda waggulu ku nnyumba, kisinga okubeera n’omukazi omuyombi mu nnyumba.
Kungcono ukuhlala engonsini yophahla kulalowesifazana wezinkani lendlini yokuhlanganyela.
25 Ng’amazzi amannyogovu bwe gaba eri emmeeme erumwa ennyonta, bwe gatyo bwe gaba amawulire amalungi agava mu nsi ey’ewala.
Umbiko omuhle ovela elizweni elikhatshana unjengamanzi aqandayo emphefumulweni owomileyo.
26 Ng’oluzzi olusiikuuse, oba ensulo eyonoonese, bw’atyo bw’abeera omutuukirivu eyeewaayo eri omukozi w’ebibi.
Olungileyo ozanyazanyiswayo phambi kokhohlakeleyo ungumthombo odungekileyo lesiphethu esonakeleyo.
27 Si kirungi kulya mubisi gwa njuki mungi, bwe kityo si kirungi omuntu okwenoonyeza ekitiibwa.
Ukudla uluju olunengi kakulunganga; lokuthi badinge udumo lwabo kakusidumo.
28 Omuntu ateefuga ali ng’ekibuga ekimenyeemenye ne kirekebwa nga tekirina bbugwe.
Umuntu ongathinti umoya wakhe unjengomuzi ofohlelweyo ongelamthangala.
