11 Bwe bakugambanga nti, “Tugende ffenna twesanyuse, tunyage, tubbe n’okutta; tokkirizanga;
Ne wogblɔ na wò be, “Va kplɔ mí ɖo, na míade xa ɖe ame aɖe ƒe ʋu ŋuti, na míanɔ xame na luʋɔ maɖifɔ aɖe,
12 ng’entaana bw’emira abantu, naffe tubamire tutyo nga bakyali balamu, era nga balamba, ng’abagenda mu bunnya obuwanvu; (Sheol )
ne míamii agbagbee abe tsiẽƒe ene, eye míamii blibo abe ame siwo ge dze ʋe globo me ene (Sheol )
13 nga twefunira eby’obugagga bye tutakoleredde, ne tujjuza amayumba gaffe obugagga obubbe;

16 Kubanga ebigere byabwe bidduka bunnambiro okukola ebibi, era kibanguyira okuyiwa omusaayi.
elabena woƒe afɔ ɖea abla ɖe nu vɔ̃ ŋu eye wogona ɖe ʋukɔkɔɖi ŋu.
17 Nga kuba kumala biseera okutega omutego, ng’ekinyonyi ky’oyagala okukwata kikulaba,
Enye movidzɔdzɔ be woaɖo ɖɔ ɖi na xeviwo le wo katã ƒe ŋkume!
18 naye abantu ng’abo baba beetega bokka, baba beetega omutego ogunaabakwasa bo bennyini.
Ame siawo de xa ɖi na woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ʋu eye wole adeklo dzi ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ŋu!
19 Bwe lityo bwe libeera ekkubo lya buli muntu anoonya okugaggawalira mu bukyamu. Obugagga obw’engeri eyo busaanyaawo obulamu bw’abo ababufuna.
Aleae ame siwo tia viɖe ƒoɖi yome la ƒe nuwuwu anɔ, elabena eɖea ame siwo ƒe asi su edzi la ƒe agbe ɖa.
20 Amagezi galeekaanira waggulu mu nguudo; gayimusa amaloboozi gaago, mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu bibuga.
Nunya le ɣli dom le mɔtata dzi eye wòkɔ gbe dzi le ƒuƒoƒewo.
21 Ne galeekaanira waggulu, mu kifo enguudo ennene we zisisinkanira, era gasinzira mu miryango gy’ekibuga ne googera:
Ele ɣli dom le mɔtata siwo dzi zinyenye le la ƒe dzogoewo dzi eye wòle eƒe nyawo gblɔm le dua ƒe agbowo me be,
22 Mulituusa ddi mmwe ab’amagezi amatono obutayagala kweyongera kuyiga by’amagezi, nammwe ab’amalala okunyoomanga eby’amagezi n’abasirusiru okukyawanga okumanya?
“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi mi gegemewo mialɔ̃ bometsinuwɔwɔ? Va se ɖe ɣe ka yi fewuɖulawo akpɔ dzidzɔ le fewuɖuɖu ŋu, bometsilawo alé fu sidzedze?
23 Kale singa muwuliriza okunenya kwange, laba, ndifuka omutima gwange n’ebirowoozo byange mu mmwe.
Ne ɖe mietrɔ ɖe nye mokaname ŋu la, anye ne metrɔ nye dzi kɔ ɖe anyi na mi eye mena mienya nye susuwo.
24 Kubanga na bayita ne mugaana okuwuliriza, ne ngolola omukono ne wataba n’omu afaayo,
Ke esi miegbe tɔtɔ nam esi meyɔ mi, esi meke nye abɔwo me, mietsɔ ɖeke le eme o
25 era ne mutafaayo ku magezi ge nabawa, era ne mugaana okubuulirira kwange kwonna,
eye miedo toku nye aɖaŋuɖoɖowo, hegbe nye mokaname ta la,
26 kale nange ndibasekerera nga muli mu nnaku, era mbakudaalire ng’entiisa ebagwiridde.
nye hã mako mi le miaƒe gbegblẽ ta eye maɖe alɔme le mia ŋu ne dzɔgbevɔ̃e ƒo ɖe mia dzi,
27 Entiisa bw’eribajjira ng’omuyaga omungi, ennaku n’okubonaabona, okulumwa n’obubalagaze,
ɛ̃, ne eƒo ɖe mia dzi abe ahom sesẽ ene, gbegblẽ hã zɔ to mia dzi abe yali ene, eye xaxa kple hiã va mia dzi kpoyi!
28 kale balinkoowoola, naye siriyitaba; balinnoonya obutaweera naye ne batandaba.
“Ekema woayɔm gake nyematɔ o, woadim gake womakpɔm o.
29 Kubanga baakyawa okuyigirizibwa, n’okumanya, era ne bamalirira obutatya Mukama.
Le esi wolé fu sidzedze eye wometia Yehowavɔvɔ̃ o,
30 Ne bagaana okuwuliriza amagezi gange; ne banyooma okunenya kwange kwonna.
le esi wogbe nye aɖaŋuɖoɖo hedo vlo nye mokaname ta.
31 Kyebaliva balya ebibala eby’ekkubo lyabwe ebbi, era ne bajjula ebibala eby’enkwe zaabwe.
Azɔ la woaɖu woƒe mɔwo ƒe kutsetse eye woƒe ɖoɖowo ƒe kutsetse aɖi ƒo na wo
32 Obusirusiru bulitta ab’amagezi amatono n’obutafaayo bulizikiriza abasirusiru,
elabena gegemewo ƒe afɔɖeɖe baɖawo awu wo eye bometsilawo ƒe ɖekematsɔleme atsrɔ̃ wo.
33 naye buli ampuliriza anaabeeranga mirembe, ng’agumye nga talina kutya kwonna.
Ke ame sia ame si ɖoa tom la, anɔ agbe le dedinɔnɔ me eye aɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ, mavɔ̃ na dzɔgbevɔ̃e o.”
