1 Ndodana yami, ungakhohlwa umlayo wami, kodwa inhliziyo yakho kayigcine imilayo yami.
Mwana wange, teweerabiranga bintu bye nakuyigiriza, era okuumanga ebiragiro byange mu mutima gwo,
2 Ngoba yengezelela kuwe ubude bezinsuku leminyaka yempilo lokuthula.
kubanga bijja kuwangaaza obulamu bwo ku nsi, era bikukulaakulanye.
3 Umusa lothembeko kakungakutshiyi, kubophele entanyeni yakho, ukubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
Amazima n’ekisa tobyerabiranga; byesibe mu bulago bwo, obiwandiike ku mutima gwo.
4 Ngalokho uzathola umusa lokuqedisisa okuhle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu labantu.
Bw’otyo bw’onoofuna okuganja n’okusiimibwa eri Katonda n’eri abantu.
5 Themba eNkosini ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungeyami ekuqedisiseni kwakho.
Weesige Mukama n’omutima gwo gwonna, so teweesigamanga ku magezi go gokka.
6 Ivume endleleni zakho zonke, yona-ke izaqondisa imikhondo yakho.
Mukama mukulembezenga mu by’okola byonna, naye anaakuluŋŋamyanga n’owangula.
7 Ungabi ngohlakaniphileyo emehlweni akho; yesabe iNkosi, usuke ebubini.
Amagezi go tegakusigulanga, naye otyanga Mukama, era weewale okukola ebibi.
8 Kuzakuba yikwelatshwa kwenkaba yakho, lokunathwayo kwamathambo akho.
Onoofunanga obulamu mu mubiri gwo n’amagumba go ne gadda buggya.
9 Hlonipha iNkosi ngemfuyo yakho, langezithelo zakho zokuqala zesivuno sakho sonke.
Mukama mugulumizenga n’eby’obugagga byo; n’ebibala ebisooka eby’ebintu byo byonna eby’omu nnimiro yo,
10 Khona iziphala zakho zizagcwaliswa ngenala, lezikhamelo zakho zewayini ziphuphume iwayini elitsha.
olwo amaterekero go lwe ganajjulanga ebintu enkumu, era n’amasenero go ne gajjula ne gabooga omwenge omusu.
11 Ndodana yami, ungadeleli ukulaya kweNkosi, unganengwa yikukhuza kwayo.
Mwana wange tonyoomanga kukangavvula kwa Mukama, n’okunenya kwe kulemenga okukukooya,
12 Ngoba iNkosi iyamlaya emthandayo, yebo, njengoyise indodana athokoza ngayo.
kubanga Mukama anenya oyo gw’ayagala, nga kitaawe w’omwana bw’anenya mutabani we gwe yeenyumiririzaamu.
13 Ubusisiwe umuntu othola inhlakanipho, lomuntu ozuza ukuqedisisa.
Aweereddwa omukisa oyo afuna amagezi, omuntu oyo afuna okutegeera,
14 Ngoba inzuzo yakho ingcono kulenzuzo yesiliva, lokutholakalayo kwakho kulegolide.
kubanga amagezi gasinga ffeeza era galimu amagoba okusinga zaabu.
15 Kuligugu elidlula amatshe aligugu, lakho konke ongakufisa kakulinganiswa lakho.
Amagezi ga muwendo mungi okusinga amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi: era tewali kyegombebwa kiyinza kugeraageranyizibwa nago.
16 Ubude bezinsuku busesandleni sakho sokunene, kwesokhohlo sakho inotho lodumo.
Mu mukono gwago ogwa ddyo mwe muli obuwanguzi; ne mu mukono gwago ogwa kkono ne mubaamu obugagga n’ekitiibwa.
17 Izindlela zakho zizindlela zentokozo, lemikhondo yakho yonke iyikuthula.
Mu magezi mulimu essanyu, era n’amakubo gaago ga mirembe.
18 Kuyisihlahla sempilo kwabakubambayo, lobambelela kukho ubusisiwe.
Amagezi muti gwa bulamu eri abo abagakwata ne baganyweza; abo abagakwata ne baganyweza baliweebwa omukisa.
19 Ngenhlakanipho iNkosi yasekela umhlaba; yamisa amazulu ngokuqedisisa.
Amagezi, Mukama ge yakozesa okuteekawo emisingi gy’ensi; n’okutegeera kwe yakozesa okuteekawo eggulu;
20 Ngolwazi lwayo izinziki zaqhekezwa, lamayezi athonta amazolo.
n’okumanya kwe, kwe yakozesa okwawula obuziba bw’ennyanja, era n’ebire ne bivaamu omusulo.
21 Ndodana yami, kakungasuki emehlweni akho; gcina inhlakanipho eqotho lengqondo.
Mwana wange, beeranga n’okuteesa okulungi n’okusalawo ebisaana, ebyo biremenga okukuvaako,
22 Njalo kuzakuba yimpilo yomphefumulo wakho, lesisa entanyeni yakho.
binaabeeranga obulamu eri emmeeme yo, era ekyokwambala ekirungi ekinaawoomesanga obulago bwo.
23 Khona uzahamba indlela yakho uvikelekile, lonyawo lwakho kaluyikukhubeka.
Bw’otyo bw’onootambulanga nga onyweredde mu kkubo lyo, era ekigere kyo tekijjanga kwesittala.
24 Nxa ulala phansi, kawuyikwesaba, yebo, uzalala, lobuthongo bakho buzakuba mnandi.
Bw’onoogalamiranga toobenga na kutya, weewaawo bw’oneebakanga otulo tunaakuwoomeranga.
25 Ungesabi uvalo olujumayo, kumbe ukuchitheka kwababi nxa kufika.
Totyanga kabenje kootomanyiridde, wadde okuzikirira okujjira abakozi b’ebibi,
26 Ngoba iNkosi izakuba sethembeni lakho, igcine unyawo lwakho ukuze lungabanjwa.
Kubanga Mukama y’anaabeeranga obwesigwa bwo, era anaalabiriranga ekigere kyo ne kitakwatibwa mu mutego.
27 Ungagodleli umninikho okuhle nxa kusemandleni esandla sakho ukukwenza.
Tommanga birungi abo be bisaanira bwe kibeera mu buyinza bwo okukikola.
28 Ungathi kumakhelwane wakho: Hamba, ubuye, kusasa ngizakunika; nxa ulakho.
Togambanga muliraanwa wo nti, “Genda, onodda enkya ne nkuwa,” ate nga kye yeetaaga okirina.
29 Ungacebi okubi ngomakhelwane wakho, ngoba yena uhlala lawe evikelekile.
Totegekanga kukola bulabe ku muliraanwa wo, atudde emirembe ng’akwesiga.
30 Ungaphikisani lomuntu kungelasizatho, nxa engakonanga.
Tovunaananga muntu n’omu awatali nsonga nga talina kabi k’akukoze.
31 Ungahawukeli umuntu olobudlwangudlwangu; ungakhethi leyodwa yezindlela zakhe.
Tokwatirwanga obuggya omuntu ayigganya abalala, era tokolanga nga ye bw’akola,
32 Ngoba ophambeneyo uyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa imfihlo yayo ikwabaqotho.
kubanga omuntu omugwagwa wa muzizo eri Mukama, naye abo abagolokofu abalinamu obwesige.
33 Isiqalekiso seNkosi sisendlini yomubi, kodwa iyawubusisa umuzi wabalungileyo.
Ekikolimo kya Mukama kiri ku nnyumba y’ababi, naye awa omukisa ennyumba y’abatuukirivu.
34 Isibili, yona iyabeyisa abeyisayo, kodwa inika umusa kwabathobekileyo.
Ddala ddala, Mukama anyooma abanyoomi, naye abeetoowaza abawa ekisa.
35 Abahlakaniphileyo bazakudla ilifa lodumo, kodwa abayizithutha, isabelo sabo silihlazo.
Ab’amagezi balisikira ekitiibwa, naye abasirusiru baliswazibwa.
