Siope 23
1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
Awo Yobu n’addamu nti,
2 “ʻOku kona ʻaupito ʻa ʻeku mamahi, ʻio, ʻi he ʻaho ni: pea mamafa lahi hoku tā ʻi heʻeku faʻa toʻe.
“N’okutuusa leero okwemulugunya kwange kubalagala, omukono gwe gunzitoowerera wadde mbadde mu kusinda.
3 Taumaiā ke u ʻilo ʻae potu te u maʻu ai ia! Ke u aʻu atu ki hono nofoʻanga!
Singa nnali mmanyi aw’okumusanga nandisobodde okulaga gy’abeera!
4 Te u fakamatala ʻeku meʻa ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo fakafonu hoku ngutu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea fakamamafa.
Nanditutte empoza yange gy’ali, akamwa kange nga nkajjuzizza ensonga zange.
5 Te u ʻilo ai ʻae ngaahi lea te ne tali ʻaki au, pea u faʻa ʻilo ʻaia te ne lea ʻaki mai kiate au.
Nanditegedde kye yandinzizeemu, ne neetegereza kye yandiŋŋambye.
6 He te ne fai mo au ʻaki hono mālohi lahi? ʻIkai: ka te ne ʻai ʻae mālohi kiate au.
Yandimpakanyizza n’amaanyi mangi? Nedda, teyandinteeseko musango.
7 ʻE faʻa alea ai mo ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe fakamoʻui taʻengata ai au mei hoku fakamaau.
Eyo omuntu omutuukirivu asobola okutwalayo ensonga ye, era nandisumuluddwa omulamuzi wange emirembe n’emirembe.
8 “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻalu atu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ia; pea ʻoku ou foki mai, kae ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia:
“Bwe ŋŋenda ebuvanjuba, nga taliiyo; ne bwe ŋŋenda ebugwanjuba, simusangayo.
9 Ki he toʻohema, ʻoku ne ngāue ai, kae ʻikai te u sio ki ai: pea ʻoku ne fufū ia ʻi he toʻomataʻu, ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻilo ia:
Bw’aba akola mu bukiikakkono simulaba, bw’adda mu bukiikaddyo, simulabako.
10 Ka ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae hala ʻoku ou ʻalu ai: pea ka ʻosi ʻene ʻahiʻahiʻi au, te u hao mai ʻo hangē ko e koula.
Naye amanyi amakubo mwe mpita, bw’anaamala okungezesa, nzija kuvaamu nga zaabu.
11 Kuo puke maʻu ʻe hoku vaʻe ki hono lakaʻanga, pea kuo u ʻalu ʻi hono hala, ʻo ʻikai afe.
Ebigere byange bimugoberedde; ntambulidde mu makubo ge nga sikyamakyama.
12 Pea naʻe ʻikai te u foki mai mei he fekau ʻa hono fofonga: kuo u fufū ʻi hoku loto ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa hono fofonga.
Saava ku biragiro by’akamwa ke. Nayagala ebigambo by’akamwa ke okusinga emmere yange gyendya bulijjo.
13 Ka ʻoku pehē ai pe ia pea ko hai te ne liliu ia? Pea ko ia ʻoku tokanga ki ai hono finangalo, ʻe fai pē ʻe ia.
“Naye yeemalirira, ani ayinza okumuwakanya? Akola kyonna ekimusanyusa.
14 He te ne fakakakato hoku ʻinasi kuo tuʻutuʻuni: pea ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa pehē ʻiate ia.
Weewaawo ajja kutuukiriza by’asazzeewo okunjolekeza, era bingi byategese by’akyaleeta.
15 Ko ia ʻoku ou manavahē ai ʻi hono ʻao: pea kau ka fakakaukau, ʻoku ou ilifia kiate ia.
Kyenva mba n’entiisa nga ndi mu maaso ge; bwe ndowooza ku bino byonna, ne mmutya.
16 He ʻoku fakamolū hoku loto ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku fakamamahiʻi au ʻe he Māfimafi:
Katonda anafuyizza nnyo omutima gwange, Ayinzabyonna antiisizza nnyo.
17 Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tuʻusi au ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae fakapoʻuli, ʻo ʻikai ʻufiʻufi ʻe ia ʻae poʻuli mei hoku mata.
Naye ekizikiza tekinsirisizza, ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo ekibisse amaaso gange.”
