Engero 31
1 Ebigambo bya kabaka Lemweri bye yayogera, nnyina bye yamuyigiriza.
Ɔhene Lemuel nsɛm a ɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛ a ne maame kyerɛɛ no:
2 Ggwe mutabani wange, ggwe mutabani w’enda yange, ggwe mutabani w’obweyamo bwange.
Ao me babarima, me yafunu ba, Ao mebɔhyɛ ba,
3 Tomaliranga maanyi go ku bakazi, newaakubadde amaanyi go ku abo abazikiriza bakabaka.
nsɛe wʼahoɔden wɔ mmaa ho, wɔn a wɔgu ahemfo asu no.
4 Ggwe Lemweri, si kya bakabaka, si kya bakabaka okunywanga omwenge, so si kya balangira okwegombanga omwenge,
Lemuel, nsã nyɛ mma ahemfo; asanom nyɛ mma ahemfo, ɛnsɛ sɛ sodifoɔ pere nsaden ho;
5 si kulwa nga bagunywa ne beerabira amateeka, ne batalamula mu bwenkanya abantu baabwe abatulugunyizibwa.
sɛ wɔnom nsã a, wɔn werɛ bɛfiri deɛ mmara no ka, na wɔn a wɔdi wɔn nya no rennya deɛ wɔwɔ ho ɛkwan.
6 Ekitamiiza mukiwenga oyo ayagala okufa, n’omwenge oyo alina emmeeme eriko obuyinike.
Fa nsaden ma wɔn a wɔresɛe, na fa nsã ma wɔn a wɔwɔ amanehunu mu;
7 Mumuleke anywenga yeerabire obwavu bwe, alemenga kujjukira nate buyinike bwe.
Momma wɔnnom, na wɔn werɛ mfiri wɔn hia na wɔnnkae wɔn awerɛhoɔ bio.
8 Yogereranga abo abatasobola kweyogerera, otunulenga mu nsonga z’abo bonna abaasigala ettayo.
Kasa ma wɔn a wɔntumi nkasa mma wɔn ho, kasa ma mmɔborɔfoɔ yiedie.
9 Yogera olamulenga n’obwenkanya, olwanirirenga abaavu n’abali mu bwetaavu.
Kasa na bu atɛntenenee; kasa ma ahiafoɔ ne onnibie yiedie.
10 Omukazi omwegendereza ani ayinza okumulaba? Wa muwendo nnyo okusinga amayinja ag’omuwendo ennyo.
Ɔyere pa, hwan na ɔbɛnya? Ɔsom bo pa ara sene nhwene pa.
11 Bba amwesiga n’omutima gwe gwonna, era bba talina kyonna kya muwendo ky’abulwa.
Ne kunu wɔ ne mu ahotosoɔ pa ara na biribiara a ɛwɔ boɔ nhia no.
12 Aleetera bba essanyu so tamukola kabi, obulamu bwe bwonna.
Ɔde deɛ ɛyɛ brɛ no, na ɛnyɛ ɔhaw, ne nkwa nna nyinaa mu.
13 Anoonya ebyoya by’endiga n’anoonya ne ppamba, n’akola emirimu gye mu ssanyu eritayogerekeka.
Ɔhwehwɛ odwannwi ne asaawa na ɔde ne nsa nwono wɔ fɛ so.
14 Ali ng’ebyombo by’abasuubuzi, aleeta emmere okuva mu nsi ezeewala.
Ɔte sɛ adwadifoɔ ahyɛn, ɔde ne nnuane firi akyirikyiri ba.
15 Agolokoka tebunnakya, n’awa ab’omu nnyumba ye ebyokulya, n’agabira abaweereza be abawala be abaweereza emirimu egy’okukola.
Adeɛ nnya nkyeeɛ no na wasɔre; ɔsiesie aduane ma nʼabusuafoɔ na ɔkyekyɛ nnwuma ma ne mmaawa.
16 Alowooza ku nnimiro n’agigula; asimba ennimiro ey’emizabbibu n’ebibala by’emikono gye.
Ɔdwene afuo ho, na ɔtɔ; ɔfiri deɛ ɔnya mu yɛ bobefuo.
17 Omukazi oyo akola n’amaanyi omulimu gwe, emikono gye gikwata n’amaanyi emirimu gye.
Ɔde nsi yɛ nʼadwuma; nʼabasa mu wɔ ahoɔden ma nʼadwuma.
18 Ayiiya ebyamaguzi ebirimu amagoba n’abisuubula, era n’ettabaaza ye ekiro tezikira.
Ɔhwɛ sɛ nʼadwadie ho wɔ mfasoɔ, na ne kanea ɛnnum anadwo.
19 Anyweza omuti oguluka ppamba mu mukono gwe, engalo ze ne zikwata akati akalanga.
Daa, na ne nsa kura tadua mu a ne nsateaa nso retoatoa asaawa.
20 Ayanjululiza abaavu omukono gwe, n’agololera omukono gwe oyo ali mu bwetaavu.
Ɔgo ne nsam ma ahiafoɔ na ne nsa so onibie so.
21 Mu biseera by’obutiti taba na kutya, kubanga ab’omu nnyumba ye bonna baba n’engoye ez’okwambala.
Sɛ sukyerɛmma tɔ a ne yam nhyehye no wɔ ne fiefoɔ ho; ɛfiri sɛ wɔn nyinaa wɔ aduradeɛ a wɔde ko awɔ.
22 Yeekolera ebibikka obuliri bwe, era engoye ze za linena omulungi, za ffulungu.
Ɔyɛ ne mpasotam; na ɔfira nwera ne serekye ntoma.
23 Bba amanyibbwa, y’omu ku bakulu abakulembera ensi, era ateeseza mu nkiiko enkulu.
Ne kunu wɔ animuonyam wɔ kuropɔn ɛpono ano, baabi a ɔne asase no so mpanimfoɔ tena.
24 Omukazi atunga ebyambalo ebya linena n’abitunda, n’aguza abasuubuzi enkoba.
Ɔpempam nwera ntadeɛ tontɔn, na ɔtu abɔwomu ma adwadifoɔ.
25 Amaanyi n’ekitiibwa bye byambalo bye, era tatya ebiro ebigenda okujja.
Ɔwɔ ahoɔden ne animuonyam; na ɔnsuro nna a ɛwɔ nʼanim.
26 Ayogera n’amagezi, era ayigiriza ebyekisa.
Ɔkasa nyansa mu, na nokorɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ ne tɛkrɛma so.
27 Alabirira nnyo empisa z’ab’omu nnyumba ye, era talya mmere ya bugayaavu.
Ɔhwɛ ne fidua mu nnwuma so na ɔnnyegye aniha so.
28 Abaana be bagolokoka ne bamuyita wa mukisa, ne bba n’amutendereza ng’ayogera nti,
Ne mma sɔre a wɔfrɛ no nhyira; ne kunu nso saa ara, na ɔkamfo no sɛ,
29 “Abakazi bangi abakola eby’ekitiibwa naye bonna ggwe obasinga.”
“Mmaa pii yɛ nneɛma a ɛwɔ edin, na wo deɛ, wosene wɔn nyinaa.”
30 Obubalagavu bulimba n’endabika ennungi teriiko kyegasa, naye omukazi atya Mukama anaatenderezebwanga.
Ɔbaa kɔnɔfoɔ yɛ nnaadaa, na ahoɔfɛ twam ntɛm so; nanso ɔbaa a ɔsuro Awurade no fata nkamfoɔ.
31 Mumusasule empeera gy’akoleredde, n’emirimu gye gimuweesenga ettendo ku miryango gy’ekibuga.
Fa abasobɔdeɛ a wanya no ma no, na wɔnkamfo ne nnwuma wɔ kuropɔn ɛpono ano.
