1 Ndodana yami, ungakhohlwa imfundiso yami, kodwa ugcine imilayo yami enhliziyweni yakho,
Mwana wange, teweerabiranga bintu bye nakuyigiriza, era okuumanga ebiragiro byange mu mutima gwo,
2 ngoba izakwandisa impilo yakho okweminyaka eminengi, ikuphe ukuthula.
kubanga bijja kuwangaaza obulamu bwo ku nsi, era bikukulaakulanye.
3 Akungasuki kuwe loba nini uthando lokuthembeka; kubophele entanyeni yakho, ukubhale egwalibeni lenhliziyo yakho.
Amazima n’ekisa tobyerabiranga; byesibe mu bulago bwo, obiwandiike ku mutima gwo.
4 Ngalokho uzathandeka uzuze ibizo elihle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu laphambi kwabantu.
Bw’otyo bw’onoofuna okuganja n’okusiimibwa eri Katonda n’eri abantu.
5 Themba kuThixo ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungathembi ekuzwisiseni kwakho;
Weesige Mukama n’omutima gwo gwonna, so teweesigamanga ku magezi go gokka.
6 mvume kuzozonke izindlela zakho, yena uzaqondisa zonke izindlela zakho.
Mukama mukulembezenga mu by’okola byonna, naye anaakuluŋŋamyanga n’owangula.
7 Ungazenzi ohlakaniphileyo ngokubona kwakho; yesaba uThixo uxwaye okubi.
Amagezi go tegakusigulanga, naye otyanga Mukama, era weewale okukola ebibi.
8 Lokho kuzawuphilisa umzimba wakho kuwaqinise lamathambo akho.
Onoofunanga obulamu mu mubiri gwo n’amagumba go ne gadda buggya.
9 Dumisa uThixo ngenotho yakho; ngezithelo zakho zokuqala zonke;
Mukama mugulumizenga n’eby’obugagga byo; n’ebibala ebisooka eby’ebintu byo byonna eby’omu nnimiro yo,
10 ngalokho iziphala zakho zizagcwala ziphuphume, lezimbiza zakho zewayini zize zichitheke ngewayini elitsha.
olwo amaterekero go lwe ganajjulanga ebintu enkumu, era n’amasenero go ne gajjula ne gabooga omwenge omusu.
11 Ndodana yami, ungeyisi ukulaya kukaThixo njalo ungacaphukeli ukukhuza kwakhe,
Mwana wange tonyoomanga kukangavvula kwa Mukama, n’okunenya kwe kulemenga okukukooya,
12 ngoba uThixo ulaya labo abathandayo, njengoyise elaya indodana yakhe ayithandayo.
kubanga Mukama anenya oyo gw’ayagala, nga kitaawe w’omwana bw’anenya mutabani we gwe yeenyumiririzaamu.
13 Ubusisiwe umuntu ozuza ukuhlakanipha, umuntu ozuza ukuqedisisa,
Aweereddwa omukisa oyo afuna amagezi, omuntu oyo afuna okutegeera,
14 ngoba khona kulenzuzo eyedlula isiliva lenzuzo eyedlula igolide.
kubanga amagezi gasinga ffeeza era galimu amagoba okusinga zaabu.
15 Kuligugu elidlula amarubhi; kakukho okuloyisayo okungalinganiswa lakho.
Amagezi ga muwendo mungi okusinga amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi: era tewali kyegombebwa kiyinza kugeraageranyizibwa nago.
16 Impilo ende isesandleni sakho sokunene; kwesokhohlo kulenotho lodumo.
Mu mukono gwago ogwa ddyo mwe muli obuwanguzi; ne mu mukono gwago ogwa kkono ne mubaamu obugagga n’ekitiibwa.
17 Izindlela zakhe zilokuthokoza, lemikhondo yakhe ilokuthula.
Mu magezi mulimu essanyu, era n’amakubo gaago ga mirembe.
18 Kuyisihlahla sokuphila kulabo abakwamukelayo; labo abakuphathayo bazabusiswa.
Amagezi muti gwa bulamu eri abo abagakwata ne baganyweza; abo abagakwata ne baganyweza baliweebwa omukisa.
19 Ngokuhlakanipha uThixo wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, ngokuqedisisa wamisa izulu endaweni yalo;
Amagezi, Mukama ge yakozesa okuteekawo emisingi gy’ensi; n’okutegeera kwe yakozesa okuteekawo eggulu;
20 ngolwazi lwakhe inlwandle zehlukaniswa, lamayezi athontisa amazolo.
n’okumanya kwe, kwe yakozesa okwawula obuziba bw’ennyanja, era n’ebire ne bivaamu omusulo.
21 Ndodana yami, gogosa ingqondo ehlela ngolwazi, ungayekeli kukucatshele;
Mwana wange, beeranga n’okuteesa okulungi n’okusalawo ebisaana, ebyo biremenga okukuvaako,
22 kuzakuba yikuphila kuwe, kube ngumceciso omuhle entanyeni yakho.
binaabeeranga obulamu eri emmeeme yo, era ekyokwambala ekirungi ekinaawoomesanga obulago bwo.
23 Lapho-ke uzahamba ngendlela evikelweyo unyawo lwakho lungakhubeki;
Bw’otyo bw’onootambulanga nga onyweredde mu kkubo lyo, era ekigere kyo tekijjanga kwesittala.
24 nxa ulala kawuyikwesaba; uzalala ubuthongo obumnandi.
Bw’onoogalamiranga toobenga na kutya, weewaawo bw’oneebakanga otulo tunaakuwoomeranga.
25 Ungabi lovalo nxa ujunywa ngumonakalo kumbe yikubhidlika lokho okwehlela ababi,
Totyanga kabenje kootomanyiridde, wadde okuzikirira okujjira abakozi b’ebibi,
26 ngoba uThixo uzakuba lithemba lakho avikele unyawo lwakho emjibileni.
Kubanga Mukama y’anaabeeranga obwesigwa bwo, era anaalabiriranga ekigere kyo ne kitakwatibwa mu mutego.
27 Ungaze wala ukusiza labo abadinga uncedo, wena ulakho ongabasiza ngakho.
Tommanga birungi abo be bisaanira bwe kibeera mu buyinza bwo okukikola.
28 Ungabokuthi kumakhelwane wakho: “Ubobuya kwesinye isikhathi; ngizakunika kusasa” wena ulalo lololutho.
Togambanga muliraanwa wo nti, “Genda, onodda enkya ne nkuwa,” ate nga kye yeetaaga okirina.
29 Ungacebi okubi ngomakhelwane wakho, ohlezi lawe ekwethemba.
Totegekanga kukola bulabe ku muliraanwa wo, atudde emirembe ng’akwesiga.
30 Ungaxabani lomuntu kungelasizatho yena engakonelanga ngalutho.
Tovunaananga muntu n’omu awatali nsonga nga talina kabi k’akukoze.
31 Ungamhawukeli umuntu othanda ukulwa loba nje ufise lakuphi ukwenza kwakhe,
Tokwatirwanga obuggya omuntu ayigganya abalala, era tokolanga nga ye bw’akola,
32 ngoba uThixo uyamenyanya umuntu oxhwalileyo kodwa oqotho umbeka ekhwapheni lakhe.
kubanga omuntu omugwagwa wa muzizo eri Mukama, naye abo abagolokofu abalinamu obwesige.
33 Isiqalekiso sikaThixo sehlela endlini yababi, kodwa uyayibusisa indlu yabalungileyo.
Ekikolimo kya Mukama kiri ku nnyumba y’ababi, naye awa omukisa ennyumba y’abatuukirivu.
34 Uyabahleka usulu abayizideleli ezizithembayo, kodwa abe lomusa kwabathobekileyo.
Ddala ddala, Mukama anyooma abanyoomi, naye abeetoowaza abawa ekisa.
35 Abahlakaniphileyo baphiwa udumo kodwa abayiziwula ubathela ihlazo.
Ab’amagezi balisikira ekitiibwa, naye abasirusiru baliswazibwa.
