Izaga 7
1 Ndodana yami, agcine amazwi ami ulondoloze imilayo yami ngaphakathi kwakho.
Mwana wanga, mvera mawu anga; usunge bwino malamulo angawa.
2 Gcina imilayo yami ukuze uphile; ulinde imfundiso yami njengegugu lakho elikhulu.
Utsate malamulo anga ndipo udzakhala ndi moyo; samala malangizo angawa monga uchitira ndi maso ako.
3 Ibophele eminweni yakho; uyilobe enhliziyweni yakho.
Uchite ngati wawamangirira pa zala zako, ndiponso ngati kuti wawalemba pa mtima pako.
4 Tshela ukuhlakanipha uthi, “Ungudadewethu wena,” uthi ukuqedisisa kuyisihlobo sakho;
Nzeru uyiwuze kuti, “Iwe ndiwe mlongo wanga,” ndipo khalidwe lomvetsa bwino zinthu ulitchule kuti, “Bwenzi langa lapamtima.”
5 lezizinto zizakuvikela emfazini oyisifebe, lakumkakho ongelambeko ngamazwi akhe adukisayo.
Zidzakuteteza kwa mkazi wachigololo ndiponso zidzakuthandiza kusamvera mawu oshashalika a mkazi wachilendo.
6 Ngema ewindini lendlu yami ngalunguza ngesikhala.
Tsiku lina pa zenera la nyumba yanga ndinasuzumira pa zenera.
7 Ngabona phakathi kwabayizithutha, ngananzelela phakathi kwamajaha ngabona ijaha elingelangqondo.
Ndinaona pakati pa anthu opusa, pakati pa anyamata, mnyamata wina wopanda nzeru.
8 Lalisehla ngomgwaqo liseduze lejiko, liqonda endlini yowesifazane
Iye ankayenda njira yodutsa pafupi ndi nyumba ya mkaziyo, kuyenda molunjika nyumba ya mkaziyo.
9 ntambama sekunqunda amehlo, umnyama wobusuku usujiya.
Inali nthawi yachisisira madzulo, nthawi ya usiku, kuli mdima.
10 Khonokho nje kwaqhamuka owesifazane elihlangabeza egqoke okwesifebe ngoba eqophile.
Ndipo mkaziyo anadzakumana naye, atavala ngati munthu wachiwerewere wa mtima wonyenga.
11 (Umfazi lowo, ngumuntu womsindo uyisiqholo, inyawo zakhe kazihlali phansi;
(Mkaziyo ndi wolongolola ndiponso nkhutukumve, iye ndi wosakhazikika pa khomo.
12 khathesi nangu emgwaqweni, njalo nangu enkundleni, utshobatshoba izindawana zonke.)
Mwina umupeza pa msewu, mwina umupeza pa msika, ndipo amadikirira munthu pa mphambano iliyonse).
13 Wafika waligona lelijaha walanga wakhuluma engelanhloni wathi:
Tsono amagwira mnyamatayo ndi kupsompsona ndi nkhope yake yopanda manyazi amamuwuza kuti,
14 “Ngenzile umnikelo wobudlelwano ngekhaya; lamuhla ngizigcwalisile izifungo zami.
“Ndinayenera kupereka nsembe zachiyanjano. Lero ndakwaniritsa malumbiro anga.
15 Yikho ngilapha ukukuhlangabeza; sengikudinge ngaze ngakuthola!
Choncho ndinabwera kudzakumana nawe; ndinkakufunafuna ndipo ndakupeza!
16 Sengiwendlele umbheda wami ngamalineni eGibhithe awemibalabala.
Pa bedi panga ndayalapo nsalu zosalala zokongola zochokera ku Igupto.
17 Sengiwuqholile umbheda wami ngemure, ngenhlaba langesinamoni.
Pa bedi panga ndawazapo zonunkhira za mure, mafuta onunkhira a aloe ndi sinamoni.
18 Woza sizitike ngothando kuze kuse; kasizijabulise ngothando!
Bwera, tiye tikhale malo amodzi kukondwerera chikondi mpaka mmawa; tiye tisangalatsane mwachikondi!
19 Indoda yami kayikho ekhaya; ihambile iye khatshana.
Mwamuna wanga kulibe ku nyumbako; wapita ulendo wautali:
20 Ithwele isikhwama sayo sigcwele imali, ngakho kayibuyi kuze kube phakathi kwenyanga.”
Anatenga thumba la ndalama ndipo adzabwera ku nyumba mwezi ukakhwima.”
21 Ngamazwi akhe amnandi waledukisa ijaha lelo; walihuga ijaha lelo ngolimi olumnandi.
Ndi mawu ake onyengerera amamukakamiza mnyamatayo; amukopa ndi mawu ake oshashalika.
22 Khonokho nje lahle lamlandela njengenkabi idonselwa ukuyabulawa, njengomziki uzingenisa emjibileni,
Nthawi yomweyo chitsiru chimamutsatira mkaziyo ngati ngʼombe yopita kukaphedwa, monga momwe mbawala ikodwera mu msampha,
23 umtshoko uze uyehlaba isibindi, njengenyoni ithothela ngaphansi kwesifu, ingaboni ukuthi isizingenise ekufeni.
mpaka muvi utalasa chiwindi chake, chimakhala ngati mbalame yothamangira mʼkhwekhwe, osadziwa kuti moyo wake uwonongeka.
24 Ngakho-ke madodana ami, ngilalelani; zwanini lokhu engikutshoyo.
Tsono ana inu, ndimvereni; mvetsetsani zimene ndikunena.
25 Lingayivumeli inhliziyo ikhangwe yizindlela zakhe, langabe iphumputhekele emikhubeni yakhe.
Musatengeke mtima ndi njira za mkazi ameneyu; musasochere potsata njira zake.
26 Banengi labo asebadilizile; izinkubela zakhe zilucaca olwesabekayo.
Paja iye anagwetsa anthu ambiri; wapha gulu lalikulu la anthu.
