Izaga 5
1 Ndodana yami, lalela inhlakanipho yami, beka indlebe yakho ekuqedisiseni kwami,
Me ba, yɛ aso ma me nyansa; tie me nhumu nsɛm no yiye,
2 ukuze uqaphele ingqondo, lendebe zakho zigcine ulwazi.
sɛnea ɛbɛma woahwɛ yiye, na wʼano akora nimdeɛ.
3 Ngoba indebe zowesifazana wemzini zithonta uluju, lomlomo wakhe ubutshelezi kulamafutha.
Efisɛ ɔbea aguaman ano sosɔ ɛwo, na ne kasa yɛ fɔmm sen ngo;
4 Kodwa ukucina kwakhe kuyababa njengomhlonyane, kubukhali njengenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili.
nanso awiei no, ɛyɛ nwen sen bɔnwoma, ɛyɛ nam sɛ afoa anofanu.
Nʼanan kɔ owu mu; nʼanammɔntutu kɔ ɔda mu tee. (Sheol h7585)
6 Hlezi ulinganise indlela yempilo, imikhondo yakhe iyazulazula, kananzeleli.
Onsusuw ɔkwan a ɛkɔ nkwa mu ho; nʼakwan yɛ kɔntɔnkye, nanso onnim.
7 Ngakho-ke, bantwana, ngilalelani, lingaphambuki emazwini omlomo wami.
Enti afei, me mma, muntie me; Monntwe mo ho mmfi nea meka ho.
8 Dedisela indlela yakho khatshana laye, ungasondeli emnyango wendlu yakhe;
Ɔkwan a ɛmmɛn no no na momfa so; mommmɛn ne fi pon ano,
9 hlezi unikele udumo lwakho kwabanye, leminyaka yakho kolesihluku;
anyɛ saa a, mode mo ahoɔden bɛma afoforo na mode mo mfe ama otirimɔdenfo,
10 hlezi abezizwe bazisuthise ngamandla akho, lemitshikatshika yakho ibe sendlini yowezizweni;
anyɛ saa a, ahɔho bɛfom mo ahonyade na mo brɛ de ahonya akɔ afoforo fi.
11 njalo ububule ekupheleni kwakho, lapho inyama yakho lomzimba wakho sekudliwe;
Mo nkwanna akyi, mubesi apini, bere a mo honam ne mo nipadua asa no.
12 njalo uthi: Ngikuzonde njani ukulaywa, lenhliziyo yami yadelela ukukhuzwa!
Na moaka se, “Na mikyi ahohyɛso! Me koma ampɛ nteɛso!
13 Kangizwanga-ke ilizwi labafundisi bami; kangibekanga indlebe zami kwabangifundisayo!
Manyɛ osetie amma mʼakyerɛkyerɛfo na mantie me kwankyerɛfo asɛm.
14 Ngaphosa ngaba ebubini bonke phakathi kwebandla lenhlangano.
Madu ɔsɛe ano wɔ asafo no nyinaa mu.”
15 Natha amanzi emgodini wakho, lemifula ephuma phakathi komthombo wakho.
Nom nsu fi wʼankasa ahina mu, nsu a ɛteɛ fi wʼankasa abura mu.
16 Imithombo yakho ichitheke phandle, izifula zamanzi emidangeni.
So ɛsɛ sɛ wʼasuti yiri fa mmɔnten so na wo nsuwa kokɔ ɔman aguabɔbea ana?
17 Kakube ngokwakho wedwa, kungabi ngokwabezizweni kanye lawe.
Ma ɛnyɛ wo nko ara de, a wo ne ahɔho nkyɛ da.
18 Umthombo wakho kawubusiswe; uthokoze ngomfazi wobutsha bakho;
Nhyira nka wʼasubura na wʼani nnye wo mmrantebere mu yere ho.
19 impala ethandekayo kakhulu, legogo elibukekayo; amabele akhe kawakusuthise sonke isikhathi, uzule othandweni lwakhe kokuphela.
Ɔte sɛ ɔtwe bere dɔfo, ɔwansan nuonyamfo; ma ne nufu nsɔ wʼani daa na ne dɔ nkyekyere wo.
20 Kungani-ke, ndodana yami, uzule kowesifazana wemzini, ugone isifuba sowemzini?
Me ba, adɛn nti na woma ɔbea aguaman kyekyere wo? Adɛn nti na woda ɔbarima foforo bi yere kokom?
21 Ngoba indlela zomuntu ziphambi kwamehlo eNkosi; njalo iyalinganisa yonke imikhondo yakhe.
Awurade hu onipa akwan nyinaa, na ɔhwehwɛ ne nyinaa mu.
22 Ezakhe iziphambeko zizabamba omubi, abanjwe zintambo zesono sakhe.
Omumɔyɛfo nnebɔne sum no afiri; na ne bɔne ahama kyekyere no papee.
23 Yena uzakufa ngokungalaywa, lebukhulwini bobuthutha bakhe uzaduha.
Wobewu, esiane ahohyɛso a wonni nti, na wɔayera, esiane wɔn agyennyentwisɛm nti.
