Engero 9
1 Amagezi gazimbye ennyumba yaago, gagizimbidde ku mpagi musanvu.
Inhlakanipho enkulu yakhe indlu yayo, ibaze insika zayo eziyisikhombisa.
2 Gategese ennyama yaago ne wayini waago; gategese ekijjulo.
Ihlabe okuhlatshwayo kwayo, ixubanise iwayini layo, futhi yalungisa itafula layo.
3 Gatumye abawala abaweereza bakoowoolere mu bifo ebigulumivu nti,
Ithume incekukazi zayo, iyamemeza engqongeni zendawo eziphakemeyo zomuzi zisithi:
4 “Buli atalina kutegeera akyameko wano!” Eri abo abatalina magezi gabagamba nti,
Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; oswele ingqondo, ithi kuye:
5 “Mujje mulye ku mmere yange era munywe ne ku nvinnyo gwe ntabudde.
Wozani, lidle okwesinkwa sami, linathe okwewayini engilixubanisileyo.
6 Mulekeraawo obutaba na kutegeera mubeere balamu, era mutambulire mu kkubo ly’okumanya.”
Yekelani abangelalwazi liphile, lihambe ngokuqonda ngendlela yokuqedisisa.
7 Oyo anenya omunyoomi ayolekera kuvumwa, n’oyo abuulirira omukozi w’ebibi yeeretera kuvumibwa.
Osola isiklolodi uzizuzela ihlazo, lokhuza okhohlakeleyo uzizuzela isici.
8 Tonenyanga munyoomi, aleme okukukyawa, naye nenya ow’amagezi naye anaakwagalanga.
Ungasoli isiklolodi, hlezi sikuzonde; sola ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuthanda.
9 Yigirizanga ow’amagezi naye aneeyongeranga okuba n’amagezi, yigirizanga omutuukirivu, aneeyongerangako okuyiga.
Nika ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuba lokhu ehlakanipha; fundisa olungileyo, njalo uzakwandisa ukufunda.
10 “Mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera, era n’okumanya oyo Omutukuvu Katonda, kwe kutegeera.
Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, lolwazi lwabangcwele luyikuqedisisa.
11 Ku lwange oliwangaala emyaka mingi nnyo, era olyongerwako emyaka.
Ngoba ngami insuku zakho zizakwandiswa, leminyaka yempilo yengezelelwe kuwe.
12 Bw’obeera omugezi, amagezi go gakuyamba, naye bw’onyooma amagezi weerumya wekka.”
Uba uhlakaniphile, uzakuba uzihlakaniphele; uba ukloloda, uzakuthwala wedwa.
13 Omukazi omusirusiru aleekaana, taba na mpisa era taba na magezi!
Owesifazana oyisithutha ulomsindo, kalangqondo, kazi lutho.
14 Era atuula mu mulyango gw’ennyumba ye, ne ku ntebe mu bifo eby’ekibuga ebisinga obugulumivu,
Ngoba uhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni, endaweni eziphakemeyo zomuzi,
15 ng’akoowoola abo abayitawo, ababa batambula amakubo gaabwe abali ku byabwe.
ukubiza abadlulayo ngendlela, abahamba beqondile emikhondweni yabo, esithi:
16 Abagamba nti, “Buli alina okumanya okutono ajje muno.” Era eri oyo atalina kutegeera agamba nti,
Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; loswele ingqondo, uthi kuye:
17 “Amazzi amabbe nga gawooma! emmere eriibwa mu kyama ng’ewooma!”
Amanzi ebiweyo amnandi, lesinkwa sensitha siyahlabusa.
