Izaga 7
1 Ndodana yami, gcina amazwi ami, uzibekele imilayo yami.
Me ba, fa me nsɛm sie na kora mʼahyɛde wɔ wo mu.
2 Gcina imilayo yami, uphile, lomthetho wami njengenhlamvu yamehlo akho.
Di mʼahyɛde so na wubenya nkwa; bɔ me nkyerɛkyerɛ ho ban sɛ nea wodɔ no.
3 Ukubophele eminweni yakho, kubhale esibhebheni senhliziyo yakho.
Kyekyere bɔ wo nsateaa ho; kyerɛw no yiye gu wo koma pon so.
4 Uthi kunhlakanipho: Ungudadewethu; ubize ukuqedisisa ngokuthi yisihlobo sakho;
Ka kyerɛ nyansa se, “Woyɛ me nuabea,” na frɛ ntease wo busuani;
5 ukuze kukugcine kumfazi wemzini, kowesifazana wemzini oyengayo ngamazwi akhe.
Wɔbɛtwe wo afi ɔbeawaresɛefo ho, afi ɔbeawarefo huhuni nsɛmmɔdɛ ho.
6 Ngoba ewindini lendlu yami, ngeminxibo yewindi ngalunguza phandle,
Me fi mfɛnsere ano, mede mʼani faa mfɛnsere mu.
7 ngasengibona phakathi kwabangelalwazi, ngananzelela phakathi kwabatsha ijaha eliswele ingqondo,
Mihuu wɔ ntetekwaafo mu, mehyɛɛ mmerante no mu baako nsow, ɔbabun a onni adwene.
8 lisedlula esitaladeni eceleni kwengonsi yakhe, linyathela endleleni yendlu yakhe,
Na ɔnam borɔn a ɛbɛn ɔbea no fi so a nʼani kyerɛ ɔbea no fi
9 kusihlwa, ngentambama yosuku, ebusuku obumnyama, lomnyama.
bere a onwini redwo, na anim rebiribiri no.
10 Khangela-ke, owesifazana walihlangabeza, lesembatho sewule, elobuqili ngenhliziyo.
Afei ɔbea bi fi behyiaa no a wasiesie ne ho sɛ oguamanfo a nnaadaa wɔ ne koma mu.
11 Lo wayelomsindo, eyisiqholo; inyawo zakhe kazihlali endlini yakhe.
(Ɔyɛ hyirenn na hwee mfa ne ho, ɔntena fie koraa;
12 Khathesi uphandle, abesesiba ezitaladeni, ecathama kuyo yonke ingonsi.
nnɛ wohu no mmɔnten so, ɔkyena na ɔte aguabɔbea, ɔtetɛw wɔ mmantwea mmantwea.)
13 Ngokunjalo walibamba, walanga, waqinisa ubuso bakhe, wathi kulo:
Osoo ne mu few nʼano, wamfɛre, na ɔkae se,
14 Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula ikimi; lamuhla sengibhadele izifungo zami.
“Mewɔ asomdwoe afɔrebɔde wɔ fie; nnɛ madi me bɔhyɛ so.
15 Ngakho-ke ngiphumile ukukuhlangabeza, ngidingisise ubuso bakho; ngikutholile.
Enti mebae sɛ merebehyia wo; mehwehwɛɛ wo na mahu wo!
16 Ngendlele umbheda wami ngezendlalo, ngamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu alemibalabala avela eGibhithe.
Mato me mpa, mede nwera a wɔahyɛ no aduru a efi Misraim.
17 Ngifafazile umbheda wami ngemure, izinhlaba, lekinamoni.
Mede nnuhuam apete me mpa so: kurobow, pɛprɛ ne dupapo.
18 Woza, sizidakise ngothando kuze kuse, sizithokozise ngothando olukhulu.
Bra, ma yɛmfa ɔdɔ mmɔ ɔdɔ mu nkosi anɔpa;
19 Ngoba indoda kayikho endlini yayo, ihambile uhambo khatshana.
Me kunu nni fie; watu kwan na ɔbɛkyɛ.
20 Ithethe isaka lemali esandleni sayo; ngosuku lwenyanga egcweleyo izakuza endlini yayo.
Ɔde sika a ɛdɔɔso hyɛɛ ne sika kotoku ma na ɔremma kosi ɔsram no kurokumatwa bere mu.”
21 Walihuga ngobunengi bemfundiso yakhe, walivumisa ngenkulumo zakhe ezincengayo.
Ɔde tɛkrɛmakyene bɔɔ no adafa; ɔde nnaadaa nyaa no ne no dae.
22 Lahle lamlandela njengenkabi isiya ekuhlatshweni, lanjengesiphukuphuku sisiya ekujezisweni esongweni lenqagala;
Odii nʼakyi prɛko pɛ te sɛ nantwi a ɔrekɔ akumii, anaa ɔwansan a ɔde ne ti rekɔhyɛ hankare fi mu
23 uze umtshoko uhlabe isibindi salo, njengenyoni iphangisela esifwini, ingazi ukuthi simelene lempilo yayo.
kosi sɛ bɛmma bɛwɔ ne brɛbo mu, te sɛ anomaa a ɔrekɔtɔ anomaa afiri mu na onnim sɛ ɔbɛhwere ne nkwa.
24 Khathesi-ke, bantwana, ngizweni, lilalele amazwi omlomo wami.
Na afei, me mma, muntie me; monyɛ aso mma nea meka.
25 Inhliziyo yakho kayingaphambukeli endleleni zakhe; ungaduhi emikhondweni yakhe.
Mommma mo koma mpatiri nkɔ no so na momman mmfa nʼakwan so.
26 Ngoba ubawisele phansi abanengi abalimeleyo, labo bonke ababuleweyo bakhe banengi.
Bebree na wɔnam no so ahwehwe ase; wɔn a wakum wɔn dɔɔso pa ara.
