Izaga 18
1 Ozehlukanisayo udinga okuloyisekayo kwakhe; ufohlela inhlakanipho yonke.
Eyeggya ku banne aba yeerowoozako yekka, era tawuliriza magezi gamuweebwa.
2 Isithutha kasithokozi ekuqedisiseni, kodwa ukuze inhliziyo yaso iziveze.
Omusirusiru tasanyukira kutegeera, ky’asanyukira kyokka kwe kwogera by’alowooza.
3 Lapho okhohlakeleyo esiza, kuza lokudelela, njalo kanye lenhloni, ihlazo.
Okukola ekibi bwe kujja n’okunyooma kujjirako, era awali okuyisaamu omuntu amaaso wabaawo okunyoomoola.
4 Amazwi omlomo womuntu angamanzi azikileyo; umthombo wenhlakanipho uyisifula esigobhozayo.
Ebigambo by’omu kamwa k’omuntu mazzi ga buziba, naye ensulo ey’amagezi mugga ogukulukuta.
5 Kakulunganga ukwemukela ubuso bokhohlakeleyo, ukuphambula olungileyo kusahlulelo.
Si kirungi kuttira mubi ku liiso, oba okusaliriza omutuukirivu.
6 Indebe zesithutha zingena enkanini, lomlomo waso ubiza imivimvinya.
Akamwa k’omusirusiru kamuleetera entalo era akamwa ke kamuleetera okukubwa emiggo.
7 Umlomo wesithutha uyintshabalalo yaso, lendebe zaso zingumjibila womphefumulo waso.
Akamwa k’omusirusiru ke kamuleetera okuzikirira, era n’emimwa gye mutego eri emmeeme ye.
8 Amazwi onyeyayo anjengezibondlo ezehlela kokungaphakathi kwesisu.
Ebigambo by’omuntu ageya biri ng’emmere ewoomerera, bigenda mu bitundu by’omubiri eby’ewala.
9 Lolivila emsebenzini wakhe ungumfowabo womchithi.
Omuntu omugayaavu mu mirimu gy’akola, waluganda n’oyo azikiriza.
10 Ibizo leNkosi lingumphotshongo oqinileyo; olungileyo uzagijimela kuwo amiswe phezulu evikelekile.
Erinnya lya Mukama kigo ky’amaanyi, omutuukirivu addukira omwo n’afuna emirembe.
11 Inotho yesinothi ingumuzi waso oqinileyo, lanjengomthangala ophakemeyo ekucabangeni kwaso.
Obugagga bw’omugagga, kye kibuga kye ekiriko bbugwe ow’amaanyi, era mu kulaba kwe, kigo kye ekigumu ekitarinnyika.
12 Mandulo kokubhujiswa inhliziyo yomuntu iyaziphakamisa, njalo mandulo kodumo kulokuthobeka.
Omuntu nga tannagwa, omutima gwe gwegulumiza, naye okwetoowaza kumuweesa ekitiibwa.
13 Ophendula indaba engakezwa, kuyibuwula kuye, lehlazo.
Oyo addamu amangu mu nsonga gy’ateetegerezza, buba busirusiru bwe era buswavu.
14 Umoya womuntu uzasekela ukugula kwakhe, kodwa umoya owephukileyo, ngubani ongawuthwala?
Omwoyo gw’omuntu gumuwanirira mu bulwadde, naye emmeeme eyennyise ani ayinza okugigumiikiriza?
15 Inhliziyo yoqedisisayo izuza ulwazi, lendlebe yabahlakaniphileyo idinga ulwazi.
Omutima gw’omwegendereza guyiga okumanya, amatu g’omuntu omugezi gawuliriza.
16 Isipho somuntu siyamvulela ngokubanzi, simkhokhelela phambi kwabakhulu.
Ekirabo ky’omuntu kimuseguliza, era kimutuusa ne mu maaso g’abeekitiibwa.
17 Ongowokuqala ecaleni lakhe ubonakala elungile, kodwa umakhelwane wakhe ufika amhlole.
Asooka okweyogerako y’afaanana ng’omutuufu, okutuusa omulala lw’amubuuza ebibuuzo.
18 Inkatho iqeda izingxabano, yehlukanise phakathi kwabalamandla.
Okukuba akalulu kimalawo empaka, era kisalawo eggoye wakati w’abawakana ab’amaanyi.
19 Umzalwane owoniweyo wedlula umuzi oqinileyo, lengxabano zinjengomgoqo wenqaba.
Kyangu okuwamba ekibuga ekiriko bbugwe ow’amaanyi, okusinga okukomyawo owooluganda anyiize, era ennyombo ziba ng’empagi z’ekigo.
20 Isisu somuntu siyasuthiswa yizithelo zomlomo wakhe, uzasuthiswa yinzuzo yendebe zakhe.
Omuntu anakkutanga ebigambo ebiva mu kamwa ke; ebibala ebijjula akamwa ke bye binamukkusanga.
21 Ukufa lempilo kusesandleni solimi; labaluthandayo bazakudla isithelo salo.
Olulimi lulina obuyinza okuwa obulamu oba okutta, era n’abo abalwagala balirya ebibala byalwo.
22 Othole umfazi uthole okuhle, uzuze umusa eNkosini.
Azuula omukazi omulungi ow’okuwasa aba azudde ekirungi, era aganja eri Mukama.
23 Umyanga uyakhuluma ngokuncenga, kodwa isinothi siphendula izinto ezilukhuni.
Omwavu yeegayirira, naye omugagga addamu na bbogo.
24 Umuntu wabangane abanengi uzachitheka, kodwa kulomngane onamathela kuleselamani.
Akwana emikwano emingi yeereetera okuzikirira, naye wabaawo ow’omukwano akwagala ennyo okusinga owooluganda.
