Imigani 23:1-35
23 Niwicara ngo usangire ibifungurwa n’umwami, uze urimbure neza ibiri imbere yawe+,
2 kandi uze wishire imbugita mw’izosi nimba ufise ameru+.
3 Ntuhahamire ivyibo vyiwe binovera, kuko ari ibifungurwa vy’ibinyoma+.
4 Ntucumukure kugira uronke ubutunzi+. Heba ubwenge bwawe+.
5 Mbega wabukubitijeko amaso, kandi ari ubusa+? Kuko butabura kwimerera amababa nk’ay’inkona, bukaguruka bwerekeza mu majuru+.
6 Nturye ibifungurwa vy’uwo wese ari n’ijisho ridatanga+, canke ngo uhahamire ivyibo vyiwe binovera+.
7 Kuko ameze nka kurya kw’umuntu yaharûye mu mutima wiwe+. Akubwira ngo: “Niwirire, winywere,” mugabo umutima wiwe utari kumwe nawe+.
8 Ikimanyu cawe wariye, uzokidahwa, kandi uzoba wapfishije ubusa amajambo yawe ahimbaye+.
9 Ntuvugire mu matwi y’ikijuju+, kuko kizosuzugura amajambo yawe y’ubwenge+.
10 Ntiwigize inyuma urubibe rwa kera+, kandi ntiwinjire mw’itongo ry’impfuvyi*+.
11 Kuko Umucunguzi wabo akomeye; ubwiwe azoburana nawe urubanza rwabo+.
12 Nuzane umutima wawe ku ndero, n’ugutwi kwawe ku majambo y’ubumenyi+.
13 Ntiwime indero umwana+. Umukubise inkoni ntazopfa.
14 Ukwiye rero kumukubita inkoni, kugira urokore ubuzima bwiwe ubukize ukuzimu+.
15 Mwananje, umutima wawe niwaba inkerebutsi+, umutima wanje, emwe, umutima wanje, uzonezerwa+.
16 Kandi amafyigo yanje azokwigina, iminwa yawe niyavuga ukugororoka+.
17 Umutima wawe ntiwumvire agashari abacumuzi+, ahubwo nutinye Yehova burinde bwira+.
18 Kuko ari ho uzogira kazoza+, kandi icizigiro cawe ntikizorandurwa+.
19 Nawe ga mwananje, niwumve ube inkerebutsi, kandi uyobore umutima wawe mu nzira+.
20 Ntube mu banywi b’umuvinyu ba cane+, mu baryi b’inyama b’abakunzi b’inda+.
21 Kuko imborerwa n’umukunzi w’inda bazoja mu bworo+, kandi uguhunyiza kuzokwambika umuntu imishambara+.
22 Umviriza so yakuvyaye+, kandi ntusuzugure nyoko wawe ngo ni uko gusa ashaje+.
23 Gura ukuri+, ntukugurishe; be n’ubukerebutsi n’indero be n’ugutegera+.
24 Se w’umugororotsi ntazobura kunezerwa+; uwuvyaye umwana w’inkerebutsi na we nyene azomuhimbarirwa+.
25 So wawe na nyoko wawe bazohimbarwa, kandi nyoko wawe yakwibarutse azonezerwa+.
26 Mwananje, numpe umutima wawe, kandi ayo maso yawe ahimbarwe n’inzira zanje+.
27 Kuko umumaraya ari icobo kirekire+, kandi umugore w’umunyamahangakazi ni iriba ryaga.
28 Ni ukuri, arabunda nka kurya kw’umwambuzi+; kandi agwiza ibihemu mu bantu+.
29 Ni nde ari n’amagorwa? Ni nde akonyokewe? Ni nde ari n’amahane+? Ni nde ari n’amaganya? Ni nde ari n’ibikomere ata mvo? Ni nde afise amaso y’indubaruba?
30 Ni abamara umwanya muremure ku muvinyu+, abinjira guserangura barondera umuvinyu uvanze+.
31 Ntiwihweze umuvinyu iyo utukuriye, iyo ubiragira mu gikombe, iyo ushororoka.
32 Amaherezo yawo ukomora nk’inzoka+, ukarekura ubumara nk’imamba+.
33 Amaso yawe azobona ibintu bitabaho, n’umutima wawe uvuge ibintu bigoramye+.
34 Ntuzobura kumera nk’umuntu aryamye mu nda y’ikiyaga, mbere nk’umuntu aryamye kw’isonga ry’inkingi y’ubwato+.
35 “Bankubise, sinarwara; bampuraguye, sinabimenya. Nzovyuka ryari+? Nzosubira kurondera wundi mukeyi+.”
