Mmɛbusɛm 31
1 Ɔhene Lemuel nsɛm a ɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛ a ne maame kyerɛɛ no:
Nawa mawu a mfumu Lemueli wa ku Massa amene anamuphunzitsa amayi ake:
2 Ao me babarima, me yafunu ba, Ao mebɔhyɛ ba,
Nʼchiyani mwana wanga? Nʼchiyani mwana wa mʼmimba mwanga? Nʼchiyani iwe mwana wanga amene ndinachita kupempha ndi malumbiro?
3 nsɛe wʼahoɔden wɔ mmaa ho, wɔn a wɔgu ahemfo asu no.
Usapereke mphamvu yako kwa akazi. Usamayenda nawo amenewa popeza amawononga ngakhale mafumu.
4 Lemuel, nsã nyɛ mma ahemfo; asanom nyɛ mma ahemfo, ɛnsɛ sɛ sodifoɔ pere nsaden ho;
Iwe Lemueli si choyenera kwa mafumu, mafumu sayenera kumwa vinyo. Olamulira asamalakalake chakumwa choledzeretsa
5 sɛ wɔnom nsã a, wɔn werɛ bɛfiri deɛ mmara no ka, na wɔn a wɔdi wɔn nya no rennya deɛ wɔwɔ ho ɛkwan.
kuopa kuti akamwa adzayiwala malamulo a dziko, nayamba kukhotetsa zinthu zoyenera anthu osauka.
6 Fa nsaden ma wɔn a wɔresɛe, na fa nsã ma wɔn a wɔwɔ amanehunu mu;
Perekani chakumwa choledzeretsa kwa amene ali pafupi kufa, vinyo kwa amene ali pa mavuto woopsa;
7 Momma wɔnnom, na wɔn werɛ mfiri wɔn hia na wɔnnkae wɔn awerɛhoɔ bio.
amwe kuti ayiwale umphawi wawo asakumbukirenso kuvutika kwawo.
8 Kasa ma wɔn a wɔntumi nkasa mma wɔn ho, kasa ma mmɔborɔfoɔ yiedie.
Yankhula mʼmalo mwa amene sangathe kudziyankhulira okha. Uwayankhulire anthu onse osiyidwa pa zonse zowayenera.
9 Kasa na bu atɛntenenee; kasa ma ahiafoɔ ne onnibie yiedie.
Yankhula ndi kuweruza mwachilungamo. Uwateteze amphawi ndi osauka.
10 Ɔyere pa, hwan na ɔbɛnya? Ɔsom bo pa ara sene nhwene pa.
Kodi mkazi wangwiro angathe kumupeza ndani? Ndi wokwera mtengo kuposa miyala yamtengowapatali.
11 Ne kunu wɔ ne mu ahotosoɔ pa ara na biribiara a ɛwɔ boɔ nhia no.
Mtima wa mwamuna wake umamukhulupirira ndipo mwamunayo sasowa phindu.
12 Ɔde deɛ ɛyɛ brɛ no, na ɛnyɛ ɔhaw, ne nkwa nna nyinaa mu.
Masiku onse a moyo wake mkaziyo amachitira mwamuna wake zabwino zokhazokha osati zoyipa.
13 Ɔhwehwɛ odwannwi ne asaawa na ɔde ne nsa nwono wɔ fɛ so.
Iye amafunafuna ubweya ndi thonje; amagwira ntchito ndi manja ake mwaufulu.
14 Ɔte sɛ adwadifoɔ ahyɛn, ɔde ne nnuane firi akyirikyiri ba.
Iye ali ngati sitima zapamadzi za anthu amalonda, amakatenga chakudya chake kutali.
15 Adeɛ nnya nkyeeɛ no na wasɔre; ɔsiesie aduane ma nʼabusuafoɔ na ɔkyekyɛ nnwuma ma ne mmaawa.
Iye amadzuka kusanache kwenikweni; ndi kuyamba kukonzera a pa banja pake chakudya ndi kuwagawira ntchito atsikana ake antchito.
16 Ɔdwene afuo ho, na ɔtɔ; ɔfiri deɛ ɔnya mu yɛ bobefuo.
Iye amalingalira za munda ndi kuwugula; ndi ndalama zimene wazipeza amalima munda wamphesa.
17 Ɔde nsi yɛ nʼadwuma; nʼabasa mu wɔ ahoɔden ma nʼadwuma.
Iye amavala zilimbe nagwira ntchito mwamphamvu ndi manja ake.
18 Ɔhwɛ sɛ nʼadwadie ho wɔ mfasoɔ, na ne kanea ɛnnum anadwo.
Iye amaona kuti malonda ake ndi aphindu, choncho nyale yake sizima usiku wonse.
19 Daa, na ne nsa kura tadua mu a ne nsateaa nso retoatoa asaawa.
Iye amadzilukira thonje ndipo yekha amagwira chowombera nsalu.
20 Ɔgo ne nsam ma ahiafoɔ na ne nsa so onibie so.
Iye amachitira chifundo anthu osauka ndipo amapereka chithandizo kwa anthu osowa.
21 Sɛ sukyerɛmma tɔ a ne yam nhyehye no wɔ ne fiefoɔ ho; ɛfiri sɛ wɔn nyinaa wɔ aduradeɛ a wɔde ko awɔ.
Iye saopa kuti banja lake lifa ndi kuzizira pa nyengo yachisanu; pakuti onse amakhala atavala zovala zofunda.
22 Ɔyɛ ne mpasotam; na ɔfira nwera ne serekye ntoma.
Iye amadzipangira yekha zoyala pa bedi pake; amavala zovala zabafuta ndi zapepo.
23 Ne kunu wɔ animuonyam wɔ kuropɔn ɛpono ano, baabi a ɔne asase no so mpanimfoɔ tena.
Mwamuna wake ndi wodziwika pa chipata cha mzinda, ndipo amakhala pakati pa akuluakulu a mʼdzikomo.
24 Ɔpempam nwera ntadeɛ tontɔn, na ɔtu abɔwomu ma adwadifoɔ.
Iye amasoka nsalu zabafuta nazigulitsa; amaperekanso mipango kwa anthu amalonda.
25 Ɔwɔ ahoɔden ne animuonyam; na ɔnsuro nna a ɛwɔ nʼanim.
Mphamvu ndi ulemu zimakhala ngati chovala chake; ndipo amaseka osaopa zamʼtsogolo.
26 Ɔkasa nyansa mu, na nokorɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ ne tɛkrɛma so.
Iye amayankhula mwanzeru, amaphunzitsa anthu mwachikondi.
27 Ɔhwɛ ne fidua mu nnwuma so na ɔnnyegye aniha so.
Iye amayangʼanira makhalidwe a anthu a pa banja lake ndipo sachita ulesi ndi pangʼono pomwe.
28 Ne mma sɔre a wɔfrɛ no nhyira; ne kunu nso saa ara, na ɔkamfo no sɛ,
Ana ake amamunyadira ndipo amamutcha kuti wodala; ndipo mwamuna wake, amamuyamikira nʼkumati,
29 “Mmaa pii yɛ nneɛma a ɛwɔ edin, na wo deɛ, wosene wɔn nyinaa.”
“Pali akazi ambiri amene achita zinthu zopambana koma iwe umawaposa onsewa.”
30 Ɔbaa kɔnɔfoɔ yɛ nnaadaa, na ahoɔfɛ twam ntɛm so; nanso ɔbaa a ɔsuro Awurade no fata nkamfoɔ.
Nkhope yachikoka ndi yonyenga, ndipo kukongola nʼkosakhalitsa; koma mkazi amene amaopa Yehova ayenera kutamandidwa.
31 Fa abasobɔdeɛ a wanya no ma no, na wɔnkamfo ne nnwuma wɔ kuropɔn ɛpono ano.
Mupatseni mphotho chifukwa cha zimene iye wachita ndipo ntchito zake zimutamande ku mabwalo.
