Izaga 9
1 Inhlakanipho enkulu yakhe indlu yayo, ibaze insika zayo eziyisikhombisa.
Amagezi gazimbye ennyumba yaago, gagizimbidde ku mpagi musanvu.
2 Ihlabe okuhlatshwayo kwayo, ixubanise iwayini layo, futhi yalungisa itafula layo.
Gategese ennyama yaago ne wayini waago; gategese ekijjulo.
3 Ithume incekukazi zayo, iyamemeza engqongeni zendawo eziphakemeyo zomuzi zisithi:
Gatumye abawala abaweereza bakoowoolere mu bifo ebigulumivu nti,
4 Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; oswele ingqondo, ithi kuye:
“Buli atalina kutegeera akyameko wano!” Eri abo abatalina magezi gabagamba nti,
5 Wozani, lidle okwesinkwa sami, linathe okwewayini engilixubanisileyo.
“Mujje mulye ku mmere yange era munywe ne ku nvinnyo gwe ntabudde.
6 Yekelani abangelalwazi liphile, lihambe ngokuqonda ngendlela yokuqedisisa.
Mulekeraawo obutaba na kutegeera mubeere balamu, era mutambulire mu kkubo ly’okumanya.”
7 Osola isiklolodi uzizuzela ihlazo, lokhuza okhohlakeleyo uzizuzela isici.
Oyo anenya omunyoomi ayolekera kuvumwa, n’oyo abuulirira omukozi w’ebibi yeeretera kuvumibwa.
8 Ungasoli isiklolodi, hlezi sikuzonde; sola ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuthanda.
Tonenyanga munyoomi, aleme okukukyawa, naye nenya ow’amagezi naye anaakwagalanga.
9 Nika ohlakaniphileyo, njalo uzakuba lokhu ehlakanipha; fundisa olungileyo, njalo uzakwandisa ukufunda.
Yigirizanga ow’amagezi naye aneeyongeranga okuba n’amagezi, yigirizanga omutuukirivu, aneeyongerangako okuyiga.
10 Ukuyesaba iNkosi kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, lolwazi lwabangcwele luyikuqedisisa.
“Mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera, era n’okumanya oyo Omutukuvu Katonda, kwe kutegeera.
11 Ngoba ngami insuku zakho zizakwandiswa, leminyaka yempilo yengezelelwe kuwe.
Ku lwange oliwangaala emyaka mingi nnyo, era olyongerwako emyaka.
12 Uba uhlakaniphile, uzakuba uzihlakaniphele; uba ukloloda, uzakuthwala wedwa.
Bw’obeera omugezi, amagezi go gakuyamba, naye bw’onyooma amagezi weerumya wekka.”
13 Owesifazana oyisithutha ulomsindo, kalangqondo, kazi lutho.
Omukazi omusirusiru aleekaana, taba na mpisa era taba na magezi!
14 Ngoba uhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni, endaweni eziphakemeyo zomuzi,
Era atuula mu mulyango gw’ennyumba ye, ne ku ntebe mu bifo eby’ekibuga ebisinga obugulumivu,
15 ukubiza abadlulayo ngendlela, abahamba beqondile emikhondweni yabo, esithi:
ng’akoowoola abo abayitawo, ababa batambula amakubo gaabwe abali ku byabwe.
16 Loba ngubani ongelalwazi? Kaphendukele lapha; loswele ingqondo, uthi kuye:
Abagamba nti, “Buli alina okumanya okutono ajje muno.” Era eri oyo atalina kutegeera agamba nti,
17 Amanzi ebiweyo amnandi, lesinkwa sensitha siyahlabusa.
“Amazzi amabbe nga gawooma! emmere eriibwa mu kyama ng’ewooma!”
