Izaga 31
1 Amazwi enkosi uLemuweli, amazwi enhlakanipho awafundiswa ngunina:
Ebigambo bya kabaka Lemweri bye yayogera, nnyina bye yamuyigiriza.
2 Oh, ndodana yami! Oh ndodana yethumbu lami! Oh, ndodana yezifungo zami,
Ggwe mutabani wange, ggwe mutabani w’enda yange, ggwe mutabani w’obweyamo bwange.
3 ungadlalisi amandla akho ebafazini, izifutho zakho kulabo abadiliza amakhosi.
Tomaliranga maanyi go ku bakazi, newaakubadde amaanyi go ku abo abazikiriza bakabaka.
4 Kakusikho kwamakhosi, bakithi Lemuweli kakusikho kwamakhosi ukunatha iwayini, kakusikho kwababusi ukunxwanela utshwala,
Ggwe Lemweri, si kya bakabaka, si kya bakabaka okunywanga omwenge, so si kya balangira okwegombanga omwenge,
5 funa badakwe bakhohlwe izimiso zomthetho, behluleke ukumisela kuhle abahluphekayo amalungelo abo.
si kulwa nga bagunywa ne beerabira amateeka, ne batalamula mu bwenkanya abantu baabwe abatulugunyizibwa.
6 Phana utshwala kulabo abavele sebezifele, iwayini kulabo abalosizi olukhulu;
Ekitamiiza mukiwenga oyo ayagala okufa, n’omwenge oyo alina emmeeme eriko obuyinike.
7 kabanathe bakhohlwe ubuyanga babo bakhohlwe nya usizi lwabo.
Mumuleke anywenga yeerabire obwavu bwe, alemenga kujjukira nate buyinike bwe.
8 Bamele labo abehlulekayo ukuzikhulumela, uwamele amalungelo alabo abangelalutho.
Yogereranga abo abatasobola kweyogerera, otunulenga mu nsonga z’abo bonna abaasigala ettayo.
9 Khuluma njalo wahlulele ngokulunga; alwele amalungelo abayanga labaswelayo.
Yogera olamulenga n’obwenkanya, olwanirirenga abaavu n’abali mu bwetaavu.
10 Ngubani na ongathola umfazi olesimilo? Uligugu elidlula kakhulu amatshe amahle.
Omukazi omwegendereza ani ayinza okumulaba? Wa muwendo nnyo okusinga amayinja ag’omuwendo ennyo.
11 Indoda yakhe iyamthemba ngokupheleleyo njalo kayisweli lutho oluqakathekileyo.
Bba amwesiga n’omutima gwe gwonna, era bba talina kyonna kya muwendo ky’abulwa.
12 Uyenzela okuhle, hatshi okubi, empilweni yakhe yonke.
Aleetera bba essanyu so tamukola kabi, obulamu bwe bwonna.
13 Uyakhetha kuhle iwulu lesikusha akweluke kuhle ngezandla ezikhutheleyo.
Anoonya ebyoya by’endiga n’anoonya ne ppamba, n’akola emirimu gye mu ssanyu eritayogerekeka.
14 Unjengemikhumbi yabathengisi, eletha ukudla okuvela kude.
Ali ng’ebyombo by’abasuubuzi, aleeta emmere okuva mu nsi ezeewala.
15 Uvuka ekuseni kusesemnyama; alungisele abomuzi wakhe ukudla abele lezincekukazi zakhe.
Agolokoka tebunnakya, n’awa ab’omu nnyumba ye ebyokulya, n’agabira abaweereza be abawala be abaweereza emirimu egy’okukola.
16 Uyayihlolisisa insimu mandulo kokuyithenga; ngalokho akuzuzayo uyahlanyela isivini sakhe.
Alowooza ku nnimiro n’agigula; asimba ennimiro ey’emizabbibu n’ebibala by’emikono gye.
17 Uwubamba ngokukhuthala umsebenzi wakhe; aqinise izingalo zakhe emsebenzini.
Omukazi oyo akola n’amaanyi omulimu gwe, emikono gye gikwata n’amaanyi emirimu gye.
18 Uyananzelela ukuthi ukuthengisa kwakhe kulenzuzo, lokuthi isibane sakhe kasicimi ebusuku.
Ayiiya ebyamaguzi ebirimu amagoba n’abisuubula, era n’ettabaaza ye ekiro tezikira.
19 Uphatha uluthi lokuphotha ngesandla sakhe abesebamba ngeminwe yakhe isigudugudu sokweluka.
Anyweza omuti oguluka ppamba mu mukono gwe, engalo ze ne zikwata akati akalanga.
20 Welulela izandla zakhe kubayanga njalo ulezandla ezilula kwabaswelayo.
Ayanjululiza abaavu omukono gwe, n’agololera omukono gwe oyo ali mu bwetaavu.
21 Lapho kukhithika ungqwaqwane, kalakwesaba ngabendlu yakhe; ngoba bonke bagqoke ezibomvu.
Mu biseera by’obutiti taba na kutya, kubanga ab’omu nnyumba ye bonna baba n’engoye ez’okwambala.
22 Wendlala amalembu ombheda wakhe; agqoke ilineni elihle lezigqoko eziyibubende.
Yeekolera ebibikka obuliri bwe, era engoye ze za linena omulungi, za ffulungu.
23 Indoda yakhe iyahlonitshwa enkundleni lapho efika ihlale khona ndawonye labadala belizwe.
Bba amanyibbwa, y’omu ku bakulu abakulembera ensi, era ateeseza mu nkiiko enkulu.
24 Uthunga izigqoko zelineni azithengise, abathengi bemigaxo bayizuza kuye.
Omukazi atunga ebyambalo ebya linena n’abitunda, n’aguza abasuubuzi enkoba.
25 Wembethe amandla lesithunzi; uyahleka loba kusiza insuku ezimbi.
Amaanyi n’ekitiibwa bye byambalo bye, era tatya ebiro ebigenda okujja.
26 Ukhuluma ngenhlakanipho, lezeluleko eziqondileyo zisolimini lwakhe.
Ayogera n’amagezi, era ayigiriza ebyekisa.
27 Unqinekela ezomuzi wakhe njalo kadli isinkwa sobuvila.
Alabirira nnyo empisa z’ab’omu nnyumba ye, era talya mmere ya bugayaavu.
28 Abantwabakhe bayambonga bathi ubusisiwe; lendoda yakhe layo iyamdumisa ithi,
Abaana be bagolokoka ne bamuyita wa mukisa, ne bba n’amutendereza ng’ayogera nti,
29 “Banengi abafazi abenza izimangaliso zobuhle, kodwa wena uyabedlula bonke.”
“Abakazi bangi abakola eby’ekitiibwa naye bonna ggwe obasinga.”
30 Ukubukeka kuyakhohlisa, lobuhle buyaphela; kodwa umfazi owesaba uThixo kadunyiswe.
Obubalagavu bulimba n’endabika ennungi teriiko kyegasa, naye omukazi atya Mukama anaatenderezebwanga.
31 Kaphiwe umvuzo wobuhle abenzayo, imisebenzi yakhe imlethele udumo enkundleni.
Mumusasule empeera gy’akoleredde, n’emirimu gye gimuweesenga ettendo ku miryango gy’ekibuga.
