Izaga 23
1 Nxa uhlalela ukudla lesiphathamandla, qaphelisa lokuqaphelisa okuphambi kwakho.
Bw’otuulanga okulya n’omufuzi, weetegerezanga ebiri mu maaso go;
2 Ubeke ingqamu emphinjeni wakho uba uyisiminzi.
era weegendereze bw’obanga omanyi ng’olulunkanira ebyokulya.
3 Ungafisi izibondlo zaso, ngoba ziyikudla kwamanga.
Tolulunkanira mmere ye ennungi, kubanga erimbalimba.
4 Ungatshikatshikeli ukunotha; pheza ekuqedisiseni kwakho.
Teweemalangako mirembe ng’oyaayaanira obugagga; weefuge obeere mukkakkamu.
5 Uzandizisa yini amehlo akho kokungekho? Ngoba kuzazenzela lokuzenzela izimpiko njengokhozi oluphaphela emazulwini.
Eby’obugagga obikubako eriiso limu nga by’agenze dda, kubanga ddala bimera ebiwaawaatiro ne bibuuka mu bbanga ng’empungu.
6 Ungadli ukudla kolelihlo elibi, ungafisi izibondlo zakhe.
Tolyanga mmere ya muntu mukodo, wadde okwegomba ebirungi by’alya.
7 Ngoba njengoba ecabangile emphefumulweni wakhe, unjalo. Uzakuthi: Dlana unathe; kodwa inhliziyo yakhe kayilawe.
Kubanga ye muntu abalirira ensimbi z’asaasaanyizza, n’akugamba nti, “Weeriire, weenywere,” naye ng’omutima gwe tegukusanyukira.
8 Ucezu oludlileyo uzaluhlanza, wone amazwi akho amnandi.
Akatono k’onooba olidde onookasesema, ebigambo byo ebirungi eby’okwebaza bibe bya bwereere.
9 Ungakhulumi endlebeni zoyisithutha, ngoba uzadelela inhlakanipho yamazwi akho.
Totegana kubuulirira musirusiru, kubanga ajja kunyooma ebigambo byo eby’amagezi.
10 Ungatshedisi isikhonkwane esidala somngcele; ungangeni emasimini ezintandane;
Tojjululanga nsalo ey’edda, so toyingiriranga nnimiro za bamulekwa,
11 ngoba uMhlengi wazo ulamandla; yena uzamela udaba lwazo kuwe.
kubanga abalwanirira w’amaanyi, alikuggulako omusango.
12 Beka inhliziyo yakho ekufundisweni, lezindlebe zakho emazwini olwazi.
Ossangayo omwoyo eri okuyigirizibwa, n’amatu go eri ebigambo by’okutegeera.
13 Ungagodleli umntwana isijeziso; nxa umtshaya ngoswazi kayikufa.
Tolekangayo kukangavvula mwana, bw’omubonereza n’akaggo tekimutta.
Mubonerezenga n’akaggo, kiwonye emmeeme ye okufa. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ndodana yami, uba inhliziyo yakho ihlakanipha, inhliziyo yami izathokoza, yebo eyami;
Mwana wange, bw’oba n’omutima ogw’amagezi, kinsanyusa.
16 lezinso zami zizajabula ekukhulumeni kwendebe zakho izinto eziqondileyo.
Nnaajjaguzanga okuva ku ntobo y’omutima gwange, bw’onooyogeranga ebituufu.
17 Inhliziyo yakho kayingahawukeli izoni; kodwa bana ekwesabeni iNkosi lonke usuku.
Omutima gwo gulemenga okukwatirwa aboonoonyi obuggya, kyokka nyiikira okutya Mukama ebbanga lyonna.
18 Ngoba isibili kukhona umvuzo, lomlindelo wakho kawuyikuqunywa.
Mazima ddala onoobanga n’essuubi mu biseera eby’omu maaso, n’essuubi lyo eryo teririggwaawo.
19 Lalela wena, ndodana yami, uhlakaniphe, uqondise inhliziyo yakho endleleni.
Mwana wange wulirizanga, obeerenga n’amagezi, okumenga omutima gwo mu kkubo ettuufu.
20 Ungabi phakathi kwabanathi bewayini, phakathi kwezihwaba zenyama.
Teweegattanga ku abo abeekamirira omwenge, n’abalulunkanira ennyama:
21 Ngoba isidakwa lesihwaba sizakuba ngumyanga, lokuwozela kugqokisa amadabudabu.
Kubanga omutamiivu n’omuluvu baavuwala, n’okubongoota olutata kubambaza enziina.
22 Lalela uyihlo owakuzalayo, ungamdeleli unyoko esemdala.
Wulirizanga kitaawo eyakuzaala, so togayanga nnyoko ng’akaddiye.
23 Thenga iqiniso, ungalithengisi; inhlakanipho, lemfundiso, lokuqedisisa.
Gula amazima so togatunda, ffuna amagezi, n’okuyigirizibwa n’okutegeera.
24 Uyise wolungileyo uzathaba lokuthaba; lozala ohlakaniphileyo uzathokoza ngaye.
Kitaawe w’omutuukirivu alina essanyu lingi, n’oyo azaala omwana ow’amagezi amwenyumiririzaamu.
25 Uyihlo lonyoko kabathokoze, lokuzeleyo kathabe.
Leka kitaawo ne nnyoko basanyuke, omukazi eyakuzaala ajaguzenga.
26 Ndodana yami, ngiphe inhliziyo yakho, lamehlo akho kawananzelele indlela zami.
Mwana wange mpa omutima gwo, n’amaaso go geekalirize amakubo gange,
27 Ngoba iwule lingumgodi otshonayo, lowesifazana owemzini ungumthombo ongumcingo.
kubanga omukazi omwenzi lukonko luwanvu, n’omukazi omubambaavu luzzi lufunda.
28 Laye ucathama njengomphangi, andise abangathembekanga phakathi kwabantu.
Ateega ng’omutemu, n’ayongera ku muwendo gw’abasajja abatali beesigwa eri bakazi baabwe.
29 Ngubani olo: Maye? Ngubani olo: Wo? Ngubani olenkani? Ngubani olesililo? Ngubani olamanxeba ngeze? Ngubani olamehlo abomvu?
Ani alina obuyinike? Ani alina ennaku? Ani alina ennyombo? Ani alina okwemulugunya? Ani alina ebiwundu eby’obwereere? Ani amyuse amaaso?
30 Yilabo abalibala ewayinini, yilabo abazedinga iwayini elixutshanisiweyo.
Abo abatava ku mwenge, nga bagenda baloza ku mwenge omutabule.
31 Ungakhangeli iwayini, lapho lizibonakalisa libomvu, nxa linika umbala walo enkomitshini, lihamba liqondile.
Totunuulira wayini ng’amyuse, bw’atemaganira mu ggiraasi ng’akka empolampola;
32 Ekucineni kwalo liluma njengenyoka, lilume njengebululu.
ku nkomerero aluma ng’omusota, wa busagwa ng’essalambwa.
33 Amehlo akho azabona abesifazana bemzini, lenhliziyo yakho ikhulume izinto eziphambeneyo.
Amaaso go galiraba ebyewuunyo, n’omutwe gwo ne gulowooza ebitategeerekeka.
34 Yebo, uzakuba njengolala enhliziyweni yolwandle, lanjengolala esihlokweni sensika yomkhumbi.
Oliba ng’omuntu eyeebase wakati mu nnyanja, obanga oyo alengejjera waggulu ku mulongooti.
35 Bangitshayile, kangizwanga buhlungu; bangidutshuzile, kangikunanzanga. Ngizavuka nini? Ngiphinde ngilidinge futhi.
Olyogera nti, “Bankubye, naye sirumiddwa. Bankubye naye sirina kye mpuliddemu. Nnaazuukuka ddi, neeyongere okunywa?”
