Mmebusɛm 22
1 Din pa ye sen ahonya bebrebe; sɛ wobedi wo ni ye sen dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ.
Mbiri yabwino ndi yofunika kuposa chuma chambiri; kupeza kuyanja nʼkwabwino kuposa siliva kapena golide.
2 Ɔdefo ne ohiani wɔ ade baako, Awurade ne wɔn nyinaa Yɛfo.
Wolemera ndi wosauka ndi ofanana; onsewa anawalenga ndi Yehova.
3 Onitefo hu amanehunu a ɛreba na ohintaw ne ho, nanso atetekwaa kɔ nʼanim konya amane.
Munthu wochenjera akaona choopsa amabisala, koma munthu wopusa amangopitirira ndipo amadzanongʼoneza bondo.
4 Ahobrɛase ne Awuradesuro ɛma ahonya ne anuonyam ne nkwa.
Mphotho ya munthu wodzichepetsa ndi woopa Yehova ndi chuma, ulemu ndi moyo.
5 Nsɔe ne mfiri wɔ amumɔyɛfo akwan so, nanso nea ɔbɔ ne kra ho ban no mmɛn ho.
Mʼnjira za anthu oyipa muli minga ndi misampha, koma amene amasala moyo wake adzazipewa zonsezo.
6 Kyerɛ abofra ɔkwan a ɔmfa so, na sɛ onyin a ɔremfi so.
Mwana muzimuphunzitsa njira yake, ndipo akadzakalamba sadzachokamo.
7 Adefo di ahiafo so, na boseagyefo yɛ nea ɔde fɛm somfo.
Wolemera amalamulira wosauka, ndipo wokongola zinthu amakhala kapolo wa womukongozayo.
8 Nea odua amumɔyɛsɛm no twa ɔhaw na wɔbɛsɛe nʼabufuwhyew abaa.
Amene amafesa zoyipa amakolola mavuto, ndipo ndodo yaukali wake idzathyoka.
9 Ɔyamyefo benya nhyira efisɛ ɔne ahiafo kyɛ nʼaduan.
Amene ali ndi diso lachifundo adzadalitsika, pakuti iye amagawana chakudya chake ndi anthu osauka.
10 Pam ɔfɛwdifo na basabasayɛ nso bɛkɔ; ntɔkwaw ne animka to atwa.
Chotsani munthu wonyoza, ndipo kukangana kudzatha; mapokoso ndi zonyoza zidzaleka.
11 Obi a ɔdɔ koma a mu tew na ne kasa ho yɛ nyam no, benya ɔhene afa no adamfo.
Amene amakonda kukhala woyera mtima ndi kumayankhula mawu abwino, adzakhala bwenzi la mfumu.
12 Awurade ani wɛn nimdeɛ, na ɔsɛe ɔtorofo nsɛm.
Maso a Yehova amakhala pa anthu odziwa bwino zinthu, koma Iye adzalepheretsa mawu a anthu osakhulupirika.
13 Ɔkwadwofo ka se, “Gyata bi wɔ mfikyiri hɔ!” anaasɛ, “Wobekum me wɔ mmɔnten so.”
Munthu waulesi amati, “Kunjaku kuli mkango. Ine ndidzaphedwa mʼmisewu!”
14 Ɔbea waresɛefo anom yɛ amoa donkudonku; nea ɔhyɛ Awurade abufuw ase no bɛtɔ mu.
Pakamwa pa mkazi wachigololo pali ngati dzenje lozama; amene Yehova wamukwiyira adzagwamo.
15 Agyimisɛm kyekyere abofra koma ho, nanso nteɛso abaa bɛpam no akɔ akyiri.
Uchitsiru umakhala mu mtima mwa mwana, koma ndodo yomulangira mwanayo idzachotsa uchitsiruwo.
16 Obi besisi ohiani de apɛ ahonya, anaa ɔbɛkyɛ ɔdefo ade, ne nyinaa de no kɔ ohia mu.
Amene amapondereza anthu osauka kuti awonjezere chuma chake, ndiponso amene amapereka mphatso kwa anthu olemera onsewa adzasauka.
17 Yɛ aso na tie anyansasɛm yi; fa wo koma di me nkyerɛkyerɛ akyi,
Utchere khutu lako ndipo umvere mawu anzeru; uyike mtima wako pa zimene ndikukuphunzitsa kuti udziwe.
18 efisɛ eye sɛ wokora saa nsɛm yi wɔ wo koma mu, na ne nyinaa ada wʼano.
Zidzakhala zokondweretsa ngati uzisunga mu mtima mwako ndi wokonzeka kuziyankhula.
19 Sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wode wo ho bɛto Awurade so, merekyerɛkyerɛ wo nnɛ, yiw ɛyɛ wo.
Ndakuphunzitsa zimenezi lero koma makamaka uziopa Yehova.
20 Menkyerɛw mmɛ aduasa mmaa wo, nea ɛyɛ afotusɛm ne nimdeɛ,
Kodi suja ndinakulembera malangizo makumi atatu okuchenjeza ndi okupatsa nzeru,
21 a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo nokware ne nea akyinnye nni ho, sɛnea wubenya mmuae pa ama nea ɔsomaa wo no ana?
malangizo okudziwitsa zolungama ndi zoona ndi kuti ukawayankhe zoona amene akutumawo?
22 Mmɔ ahiafo korɔn, sɛ wɔyɛ ahiafo nti, na nsisi wɔn a wonni bi wɔ asennii,
Mʼmphawi usamubere chifukwa ndi osauka, ndipo usawapondereze anthu osowa mʼbwalo la milandu,
23 efisɛ Awurade bedi wɔn asɛm ama wɔn, na wafom afa wɔn a wɔfom ahiafo fa.
pakuti Yehova adzawateteza pa mlandu wawo ndipo adzalanda moyo onse amene amawalanda iwo.
24 Mfa obi a ne koma yɛ den no adamfo, na mfa wo ho mmɔ nea ne bo nkyɛ fuw,
Usapalane naye ubwenzi munthu wosachedwa kupsa mtima ndipo usayanjane ndi munthu amene sachedwa kukwiya
25 anyɛ saa a, wubesua nʼakwan na woakɔtɔ afiri mu.
kuopa kuti iwe ungadzaphunzire njira zake ndi kukodwa mu msampha.
26 Nyɛ nea ɔde ne nsa hyɛ krataa ase di akagyinamu anaasɛ odi akagyinamu;
Usakhale munthu wopereka chikole kapena kukhala mboni pa ngongole;
27 na sɛ wunni nea wɔde tua a wobehuam wo mpa mpo afi wʼase.
ngati ulephera kupeza njira yolipirira adzakulanda ngakhale bedi lako lomwe.
28 Ntutu tete abo a wɔde ato hye, nea wo nenanom de sisii hɔ no.
Usasunthe mwala wamʼmalire akalekale amene anayikidwa ndi makolo ako.
29 Wuhu obi a ne nsa akokwaw nʼadwuma ho ana? Ahemfo anim na ɔbɛsom, na ɔrensom wɔ mpapahwekwa anim.
Kodi ukumuona munthu waluso pa ntchito yake? Iye adzatumikira mafumu; sadzatumikira anthu wamba.
