Okulabula ku Bwenzi
5 (A)Mutabani, ossangayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro byange,
era owulirizanga bulungi ebigambo byange eby’amagezi,
2 olyoke oyige okusalawo okw’amagezi,
era akamwa ko kavengamu eby’obutegevu.
3 (B)Kubanga emimwa gy’omukazi omwenzi gitonnya omubisi gw’enjuki,
n’ebigambo bye biweweevu okusinga omuzigo;
4 (C)naye enkomerero ya byonna, akaawa ng’omususa
era asala ng’ekitala eky’obwogi obubiri.
5 (D)Ebigere bye bituuka mu kufa,
ebisinde bye biraga emagombe.
6 (E)Tafaayo ku kkubo lya bulamu,
amakubo ge gaakyamakyama dda, naye nga takimanyi.
7 (F)Kaakano, batabani bange mumpulirize,
temuvanga ku bigambo bya kamwa kange.
8 (G)Mwewalenga omukazi oyo
era temusembereranga luggi lwa nnyumba ye;
9 si kulwa nga mufiirwa ekitiibwa kyammwe,
n’okumalira ebiseera byammwe ku oyo alina ettima,
10 ate si kulwa nga b’otolina ky’obamanyiiko bakwavuwaza,
n’amaanyi go n’ogamalira ku maka g’omulala.
11 Ku nkomerero y’obulamu bwo olisinda,
ennyama yo n’omubiri gwo nga biweddewo.
12 (H)Oligamba nti, “Nga nakyawa okulabulwa,
n’omutima gwange ne gukyawa okunenyezebwa,
13 era ne sigondera ddoboozi ly’abasomesa bange,
wadde okussaayo omwoyo eri abo abampanga amagezi.
14 Ntuuse ku njegoyego z’okuzikirira
nga ndi wakati mu kuŋŋaaniro ly’ekibiina.”
Obuvunaanyizibwa n’Essanyu mu Bufumbo
15 Onoonywanga amazzi ag’omu kidiba kyo,
n’amazzi agava mu luzzi lwo goonoonywanga.
16 Ensulo zo zisaanye okukulukutira mu nguudo,
n’enzizi zo mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu kibuga?
17 Leka bibeere bibyo wekka,
bireme kugabanibwako b’otomanyiiko n’akamu.
18 (I)Kale leka ensulo yo ebeere n’omukisa,
era osanyuke ne mukazi wo ow’omu buvubuka bwo.
19 (J)Ng’ennangaazi eyeeyagaza n’empeewo esanyusa,
leka okusuuta kwe kukumalenga ennaku zonna era naye akwetoloozenga okwagala kwe.
20 Lwaki mwana wange osendebwasendebwa omukazi omwenzi,
n’ogwa mu kifuba ky’omukazi w’omusajja omulala?

Proverbs 5

Warning Against Adultery
5 My son,(A) pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words(B) of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;(C)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(D)
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.(E)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.(F)
7 Now then, my sons, listen(G) to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,(H)
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(I)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(J)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(K)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(L)
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain(M) be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.(N)
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer(O)—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
