Izaga 5
1 Ndodana yami, nanzelela ukuhlakanipha kwami, ulalele kuhle amazwi ami alombono,
Me ba, yɛ aso ma me nyansa; tie me nhumu nsɛm no yiye,
2 ukuze uhlale ukwazi ukukhetha okuqondileyo lokuze izindebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
sɛnea ɛbɛma woahwɛ yiye, na wʼano akora nimdeɛ.
3 Phela izindebe zesifebekazi zithonta uluju, lenkulumo yaso iyatshelela kulamafutha;
Efisɛ ɔbea aguaman ano sosɔ ɛwo, na ne kasa yɛ fɔmm sen ngo;
4 kodwa ekucineni iyababa ingathi yinyongo, ibukhali njengenkemba esika nxa zombili.
nanso awiei no, ɛyɛ nwen sen bɔnwoma, ɛyɛ nam sɛ afoa anofanu.
Nʼanan kɔ owu mu; nʼanammɔntutu kɔ ɔda mu tee. (Sheol h7585)
6 Kasikhathali ukuthi kuphilwa njani; izindlela zaso ziyazombeleza, kodwa kasikuboni lokho.
Onsusuw ɔkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa mu ho; nʼakwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye, nanso onnim.
7 Ngalokho-ke, madodana ami, ngilalelani; lingaphambuki kulokho engikukhulumayo.
Enti afei, me mma, muntie me; Monntwe mo ho mmfi nea meka ho.
8 Hambani ngendlela ekhatshana kwaso, lingasondeli emnyango wendlu yaso,
Ɔkwan a ɛmmɛn no no na momfa so; mommmɛn ne fi pon ano,
9 funa unikele kwabanye amandla akho wonke lobudala bakho kulowo olesihluku,
anyɛ saa a, mode mo ahoɔden bɛma afoforo na mode mo mfe ama otirimɔdenfo,
10 funa abemzini bazitike ngenotho yakho lokusebenza kwakho kunothise umuzi wenye indoda.
anyɛ saa a, ahɔho bɛfom mo ahonyade na mo brɛ de ahonya akɔ afoforo fi.
11 Ekupheleni kokuphila kwakho uzabubula, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekugugile.
Mo nkwanna akyi, mubesi apini, bere a mo honam ne mo nipadua asa no.
12 Uzakuthi, “Uthi ngangikuzonda yini ukulaywa! Inhliziyo yami yayikuzonda njani ukuqondiswa!
Na moaka se, “Na mikyi ahohyɛso! Me koma ampɛ nteɛso!
13 Ngangingafuni ukulalela abafundisi bami kumbe ukulalela abeluleki bami.
Manyɛ osetie amma mʼakyerɛkyerɛfo na mantie me kwankyerɛfo asɛm.
14 Ngacina sengisenkingeni enkulu ngiphakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu.”
Madu ɔsɛe ano wɔ asafo no nyinaa mu.”
15 Natha amanzi kowakho umgqomo, amanzi agelezayo kowakho umthombo.
Nom nsu fi wʼankasa ahina mu, nsu a ɛteɛ fi wʼankasa abura mu.
16 Kambe imifudlana yakho ingayekelwa igelezela emigwaqweni, lezifula zakho zamanzi zigelezele ezinkundleni zabantu na?
So ɛsɛ sɛ wʼasuti yiri fa mmɔnten so na wo nsuwa kokɔ ɔman aguabɔbea ana?
17 Kazibe ngezakho wena wedwa, ungazabelani labafokazana nje.
Ma ɛnyɛ wo nko ara de, a wo ne ahɔho nkyɛ da.
18 Sengathi ungabusiswa umthombo wakho njalo sengathi ungathokoza ngomfazi wobutsha bakho.
Nhyira nka wʼasubura na wʼani nnye wo mmrantebere mu yere ho.
19 Oyimpalakazi ethandekayo, imbabala ebutshelezi amabele akhe sengathi angakusuthisa lanini, nini lanini ukhangwe luthando lwakhe.
Ɔte sɛ ɔtwe bere dɔfo, ɔwansan nuonyamfo; ma ne nufu nsɔ wʼani daa na ne dɔ nkyekyere wo.
20 Kungani ndodana yami, uthunjwa yisifebekazi? Kungani ugona iqolo lomfazi wenye indoda?
Me ba, adɛn nti na woma ɔbea aguaman kyekyere wo? Adɛn nti na woda ɔbarima foforo bi yere kokom?
21 Phela izindlela zomuntu zisobala kuThixo, uyazihlola zonke izindlela zakhe.
Awurade hu onipa akwan nyinaa, na ɔhwehwɛ ne nyinaa mu.
22 Izenzo ezimbi zomuntu omubi ziyamthiya; izibopho zesono sakhe zimuthe nko.
Omumɔyɛfo nnebɔne sum no afiri; na ne bɔne ahama kyekyere no papee.
23 Uzabhubha ngoba engalayeki, elahlekiswa yibuphukuphuku bakhe.
Wobewu, esiane ahohyɛso a wonni nti, na wɔayera, esiane wɔn agyennyentwisɛm nti.
