Mmebusɛm 23
1 Sɛ wo ne ɔhene bi to nsa didi a, hwɛ nea esi wʼanim no yiye,
Bw’otuulanga okulya n’omufuzi, weetegerezanga ebiri mu maaso go;
2 Sɛ woyɛ adidibrada a, hyɛ wo ho so.
era weegendereze bw’obanga omanyi ng’olulunkanira ebyokulya.
3 Nni nʼaduan akɔnnɔ akɔnnɔ no akyi, efisɛ saa aduan no daadaa nnipa.
Tolulunkanira mmere ye ennungi, kubanga erimbalimba.
4 Mmiri wo mogya ani mpɛ sika; hu nyansa na tɔ wo bo ase.
Teweemalangako mirembe ng’oyaayaanira obugagga; weefuge obeere mukkakkamu.
5 Wʼani bɔɔ sika so ara pɛ, na atu ayera, ampa ara ebefuw ntaban na atu akɔ wim sɛ ɔkɔre.
Eby’obugagga obikubako eriiso limu nga by’agenze dda, kubanga ddala bimera ebiwaawaatiro ne bibuuka mu bbanga ng’empungu.
6 Nni obi a ɔyɛ pɛpɛe aduan, nni nʼakɔnnɔ aduan akyi;
Tolyanga mmere ya muntu mukodo, wadde okwegomba ebirungi by’alya.
7 efisɛ ɔyɛ obi a bere biara osusuw sika ho. Ɔka se, “Didi na nom,” nanso ɛnyɛ ne koma mu.
Kubanga ye muntu abalirira ensimbi z’asaasaanyizza, n’akugamba nti, “Weeriire, weenywere,” naye ng’omutima gwe tegukusanyukira.
8 Kakra a woadi no wobɛfe, na ɛno nti wo nkamfo so remma mfaso.
Akatono k’onooba olidde onookasesema, ebigambo byo ebirungi eby’okwebaza bibe bya bwereere.
9 Nkasa nkyerɛ ɔkwasea, efisɛ ɔremfa nyansa a ɛwɔ wo kasa mu no.
Totegana kubuulirira musirusiru, kubanga ajja kunyooma ebigambo byo eby’amagezi.
10 Ntutu tete abo a wɔde ato hye ngu, na ntra ɔhye nkɔ ayisaa mfuw mu,
Tojjululanga nsalo ey’edda, so toyingiriranga nnimiro za bamulekwa,
11 efisɛ wɔn Gyefo yɛ den, na obedi wɔn asɛm ama wɔn.
kubanga abalwanirira w’amaanyi, alikuggulako omusango.
12 Ma wo koma mmra nkyerɛkyerɛ so, na wɛn wʼaso tie nimdeɛ.
Ossangayo omwoyo eri okuyigirizibwa, n’amatu go eri ebigambo by’okutegeera.
13 Ntwentwɛn abofra nteɛso so; sɛ wode abaa teɛ no a, ɔrenwu.
Tolekangayo kukangavvula mwana, bw’omubonereza n’akaggo tekimutta.
Mubonerezenga n’akaggo, kiwonye emmeeme ye okufa. (Sheol h7585)
15 Me ba, sɛ wo koma hu nyansa a, ɛno de, me koma ani begye;
Mwana wange, bw’oba n’omutima ogw’amagezi, kinsanyusa.
16 sɛ wʼano ka nea ɛteɛ a me mu ade nyinaa ani begye.
Nnaajjaguzanga okuva ku ntobo y’omutima gwange, bw’onooyogeranga ebituufu.
17 Mma wʼani mmere abɔnefo, mmom bɔ Awurade suro ho mmɔden bere biara.
Omutima gwo gulemenga okukwatirwa aboonoonyi obuggya, kyokka nyiikira okutya Mukama ebbanga lyonna.
18 Ampa ara anidaso wɔ hɔ ma wo daakye, na wʼanidaso renyɛ ɔkwa.
Mazima ddala onoobanga n’essuubi mu biseera eby’omu maaso, n’essuubi lyo eryo teririggwaawo.
19 Me ba, tie, na hu nyansa, ma wo koma mfa ɔkwantrenee so.
Mwana wange wulirizanga, obeerenga n’amagezi, okumenga omutima gwo mu kkubo ettuufu.
20 Mfa wo ho mmɔ akɔwensafo anaasɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ nam mmoroso ho,
Teweegattanga ku abo abeekamirira omwenge, n’abalulunkanira ennyama:
21 efisɛ, akɔwensafo ne adidibradafo bɛyɛ ahiafo, na anikum fura wɔn ntamagow.
Kubanga omutamiivu n’omuluvu baavuwala, n’okubongoota olutata kubambaza enziina.
22 Tie wʼagya a ɔwoo wo no, na sɛ wo na bɔ aberewa a, mmu no animtiaa.
Wulirizanga kitaawo eyakuzaala, so togayanga nnyoko ng’akaddiye.
23 Tɔ nokware na ntɔn da; nya nyansa, ahohyɛso ne nhumu.
Gula amazima so togatunda, ffuna amagezi, n’okuyigirizibwa n’okutegeera.
24 Ɔtreneeni agya wɔ anigye bebree; nea ɔwɔ ɔba nyansafo no ani gye ne ho.
Kitaawe w’omutuukirivu alina essanyu lingi, n’oyo azaala omwana ow’amagezi amwenyumiririzaamu.
25 Ma wʼagya ne wo na ani nnye; ma ɔbea a ɔwoo wo no nnya ahosɛpɛw.
Leka kitaawo ne nnyoko basanyuke, omukazi eyakuzaala ajaguzenga.
26 Me ba, fa wo koma ma me na ma wʼani nkɔ mʼakwan ho,
Mwana wange mpa omutima gwo, n’amaaso go geekalirize amakubo gange,
27 na oguamanfo yɛ amoa donkudonku ɔyere huhuni yɛ ɔdaadaafo.
kubanga omukazi omwenzi lukonko luwanvu, n’omukazi omubambaavu luzzi lufunda.
28 Ɔtɛw, twɛn, te sɛ ɔkwanmukafo, na ɔma mmarima mu atorofo dɔɔso.
Ateega ng’omutemu, n’ayongera ku muwendo gw’abasajja abatali beesigwa eri bakazi baabwe.
29 Hena na wɔadome no? Hena na odi awerɛhow? Hena na odi aperepere? Hena na onwiinwii? Hena na ɔwɔ atape nko ara? Hena na mogya ada nʼani so?
Ani alina obuyinike? Ani alina ennaku? Ani alina ennyombo? Ani alina okwemulugunya? Ani alina ebiwundu eby’obwereere? Ani amyuse amaaso?
30 Wɔn a wɔkyɛ nsa ho, na wɔka nsa a wɔafrafra hwɛ.
Abo abatava ku mwenge, nga bagenda baloza ku mwenge omutabule.
31 Nhwɛ nsa ani kɔkɔɔ no haa, bere a ɛretwa yerɛw yerɛw wɔ kuruwa mu, na ɛkɔ yɔɔ no.
Totunuulira wayini ng’amyuse, bw’atemaganira mu ggiraasi ng’akka empolampola;
32 Awiei no, ɛka te sɛ ɔwɔ na ɛwɔ bɔre te sɛ ahurutoa.
ku nkomerero aluma ng’omusota, wa busagwa ng’essalambwa.
33 Wʼani behu nneɛma a wunhuu da, na woadwene nneɛma basabasa ho.
Amaaso go galiraba ebyewuunyo, n’omutwe gwo ne gulowooza ebitategeerekeka.
34 Wobɛtɔ ntintan te sɛ hyɛn mu dwumayɛni a, okura hyɛn dua a, ɛrehinhim mu den, na ehinhim wɔ po so.
Oliba ng’omuntu eyeebase wakati mu nnyanja, obanga oyo alengejjera waggulu ku mulongooti.
35 Na wobɛka se, “Wɔbɔ me, nanso mimpira. Wɔboro me, nanso mente ɔyaw biara. Bere bɛn na menyan akɔpɛ nsa anom bio?”
Olyogera nti, “Bankubye, naye sirumiddwa. Bankubye naye sirina kye mpuliddemu. Nnaazuukuka ddi, neeyongere okunywa?”
