Izaga 28
1 Ababi babaleka kungekho umzingeli, kodwa abalungileyo balesibindi njengebhongo lesilwane.
Omumɔyɛfo guan bere a obiara ntaa no, nanso atreneefo koko yɛ duru sɛ gyata.
2 Ngesiphambeko sesizwe ababusi baso banengi; kodwa ngomuntu olokuqedisisa ololwazi ukuqonda kwaso kuyelulwa.
Atuatewman nya sodifo pii, nanso onipa a ɔwɔ nhumu ne nimdeɛ ma mmara yɛ adwuma.
3 Umuntu ongumyanga ocindezela abayanga ulizulu elikhukhulayo ukuze kungabi lokudla.
Sodifo a ɔhyɛ ahiafo so no te sɛ osu mu ahum a ennyaw nnɔbae bi wɔ akyi.
4 Abadela umlayo badumisa ababi, kodwa labo abagcina umlayo balwa labo.
Wɔn a wɔpo mmara no kamfo amumɔyɛfo, na wɔn a wodi mmara so no siw wɔn kwan.
5 Abantu ababi kabaqedisisi ukulunga, kodwa abadinga iNkosi baqedisisa konke.
Abɔnefo nte atɛntrenee ase, nanso wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no, te ase yiye.
6 Kungcono umyanga ohamba ngobuqotho bakhe kulophambene ngezindlela lanxa enothile.
Ohiani a ne nantew ho nni asɛm ye sen ɔdefo a nʼakwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye.
7 Ogcina umlayo uyindodana eqedisisayo, kodwa ozihlanganisa lezigangi uyangisa uyise.
Nea odi mmara so yɛ ɔba a ɔwɔ nhumu, nanso nea ɔne adidibradafo bɔ no gu nʼagya anim ase.
8 Owandisa inotho yakhe ngenzalo langenzuzo uyibuthela olomusa kubayanga.
Nea ogye mfɛntom mmoroso de nya ne ho no, ɔboaboa ano ma nea ɔbɛyɛ ahiafo adɔe.
9 Ophambula indlebe yakhe ekulaleleni umlayo, lomkhuleko wakhe uzakuba yisinengiso.
Sɛ obi nni mmara so a, ne mpaebɔ mpo yɛ akyiwade.
10 Oduhisela abaqotho endleleni embi yena uzawela emgodini wakhe, kodwa abaqotho bazakudla ilifa lokuhle.
Nea odi atreneefo anim de wɔn fa ɔkwan bɔne so no bɛhwe ɔno ankasa afiri mu, nanso wɔn a wɔn ho nni asɛm no benya agyapade a eye.
11 Indoda enothileyo ihlakaniphile emehlweni ayo, kodwa umyanga oqedisisayo uzayihlola.
Ɔdefo tumi yɛ onyansafo wɔ nʼankasa ani so, nanso ohiani a ɔwɔ nhumu no hu sɛnea ɔte.
12 Lapho abalungileyo bethokoza, kulenkazimulo enkulu; kodwa nxa ababi bephakama, umuntu uyadingwa.
Sɛ atreneefo di nkonim a, nnipa di ahurusi pii; nanso sɛ amumɔyɛfo nya tumi a nnipa kohintaw.
13 Osibekela iziphambeko zakhe kayikuphumelela, kodwa ozivumayo azitshiye, uzahawukelwa.
Onipa a ɔkata ne bɔne so no nnya nkɔso, na nea ɔka ne bɔne na ogyae yɛ no nya ahummɔbɔ.
14 Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba njalonjalo, kodwa owenza inhliziyo yakhe ibe lukhuni uzawela ebubini.
Nhyira nka nea osuro Awurade bere nyinaa, nanso nea opirim ne koma no tɔ amane mu.
15 Umbusi okhohlakeleyo phezu kwabantu abangabayanga uyisilwane esibhongayo lebhere elizingelayo.
Omumɔyɛfo a odi nnipa a wonni mmoa so no te sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔ mu anaa sisi a nʼani abere.
16 Umbusi oswele ukuqedisisa konke wandisa lencindezelo; ozonda inzuzo embi uzakwelula insuku.
Ɔsodifo tirimɔdenfo nni adwene, na nea okyi mfaso a wɔnam ɔkwan bɔne so nya no benya nkwa tenten.
17 Umuntu ocindezelwe ligazi lomphefumulo uzabalekela emgodini; kabangamsekeli.
Nea awudi ma ne tiboa bu no fɔ no bɛyɛ ɔkobɔfo akosi ne wu da; wɔmma obiara nsiw no kwan.
18 Ohamba ngobuqotho uzasindiswa, kodwa ophambene ngendlela ezimbili uzahle awe.
Nea ne nantew ho nni asɛm no, wogye no fi ɔhaw mu, nanso nea nʼakwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye no bɛhwe ase mpofirim.
19 Olima umhlaba wakhe uzasutha ukudla, kodwa olandela abayize uzasutha ubuyanga.
Nea ɔyɛ nʼasase so adwuma no benya aduan pii, nanso wɔn a wodi nnaadaasɛm akyi no benya wɔn so ne wɔn hia.
20 Umuntu wothembeko lonke uzavama ngezibusiso, kodwa ophangisa ukunotha kayikuba msulwa.
Wobehyira onipa nokwafo pii, na nea ɔpere pɛ ahonyade no remfa ne ho nni.
21 Ukuhlonipha ubuso kakulunganga, ngoba umuntu uzakona ngenxa yocezu lwesinkwa.
Nhwɛanim nye, nanso aduan kakraa bi nti nnipa bɛyɛ bɔne.
22 Ophangisa ukunotha ungumuntu olelihlo elibi, njalo engazi ukuthi ubuyanga buzamehlela.
Nea ɔyɛ pɛpɛe pere sɛ ɔbɛyɛ ɔdefo na onnim sɛ ohia retwɛn no.
23 Okhuza umuntu uzathola umusa emuva okwedlula okhohlisayo ngolimi.
Nea ɔka obi anim no bɛsɔ nnipa ani akyiri no asen nea ɔwɔ tɛkrɛmadɛ.
24 Ophanga uyise kumbe unina, athi: Akusiso isiphambeko; ungumngane womchithi.
Nea ɔbɔ nʼagya anaa ne na korɔn na ɔka se, “Ɛnyɛ bɔne no,” ɔne ɔsɛefo na ɛbɔ.
25 Ongasuthisekiyo udunga ingxabano, kodwa othemba eNkosini uzakhuluphaliswa.
Odifudepɛfo de mpaapaemu ba na nea ɔde ne ho to Awurade so no benya nkɔso.
26 Othemba enhliziyweni yakhe uyisithutha, kodwa ohamba ngenhlakanipho uzakhululwa.
Nea ogye ne ho di no yɛ ɔkwasea, na nea ɔnantew nyansa mu no wobegye no.
27 Opha umyanga kayikuswela, kodwa ofihla amehlo akhe uzakuba leziqalekiso ezinengi.
Nea ɔma ahiafo no, hwee renhia no, nanso nea obu nʼani gu wɔn so no nya nnome pii.
28 Nxa abakhohlakeleyo bephakanyiswa, umuntu uyacatsha, kodwa nxa bebhubha, abalungileyo bayanda.
Sɛ amumɔyɛfo nya tumi a, nnipa kohintaw; na sɛ amumɔyɛfo ase tɔre a, atreneefo ase dɔ.
