Empagi z’Amagezi Omusanvu
9 (A)Amagezi gazimbye ennyumba yaago,
gagizimbidde ku mpagi musanvu.
2 (B)Gategese ennyama yaago ne wayini[a] waago;
gategese ekijjulo.
3 (C)Gatumye abawala abaweereza bakoowoolere
mu bifo ebigulumivu nti,
4 (D)“Buli atalina kutegeera akyameko wano!”
Eri abo abatalina magezi gabagamba nti,
5 (E)“Mujje mulye ku mmere yange
era munywe ne ku nvinnyo gwe ntabudde.
6 (F)Mulekeraawo obutaba na kutegeera mubeere balamu,
era mutambulire mu kkubo ly’okumanya.”
7 (G)Oyo anenya omunyoomi ayolekera kuvumwa,
n’oyo abuulirira omukozi w’ebibi yeeretera kuvumibwa.
8 (H)Tonenyanga munyoomi, aleme okukukyawa, naye
nenya ow’amagezi naye anaakwagalanga.
9 (I)Yigirizanga ow’amagezi naye aneeyongeranga okuba n’amagezi,
yigirizanga omutuukirivu, aneeyongerangako okuyiga.
10 (J)“Mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera,
era n’okumanya oyo Omutukuvu Katonda, kwe kutegeera.
11 (K)Ku lwange oliwangaala emyaka mingi nnyo,
era olyongerwako emyaka.
12 Bw’obeera omugezi, amagezi go gakuyamba,
naye bw’onyooma amagezi weerumya wekka.”
13 (L)Omukazi omusirusiru aleekaana,
taba na mpisa era taba na magezi!
14 (M)Era atuula mu mulyango gw’ennyumba ye,
ne ku ntebe mu bifo eby’ekibuga ebisinga obugulumivu,
15 ng’akoowoola abo abayitawo,
ababa batambula amakubo gaabwe abali ku byabwe.
16 Abagamba nti, “Buli alina okumanya okutono ajje muno.”
Era eri oyo atalina kutegeera agamba nti,
17 (N)“Amazzi amabbe nga gawooma!
emmere eriibwa mu kyama ng’ewooma!”
18 (O)Naye oyo agwa mu kitimba kye tamanya nti nnyumba yakuzikirira,
era nti abagenyi be bali mu buziba obw’emagombe.

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly
9 Wisdom has built(A) her house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;(B)
she has also set her table.(C)
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls(D)
from the highest point of the city,(E)
4 “Let all who are simple(F) come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(G) she says,
5 “Come,(H) eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.(I)
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;(J)
walk in the way of insight.”(K)
7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.(L)
8 Do not rebuke mockers(M) or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.(N)
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.(O)
10 The fear of the Lord(P) is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One(Q) is understanding.(R)
11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.(S)
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13 Folly is an unruly woman;(T)
she is simple and knows nothing.(U)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,(V)
15 calling out(W) to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense(X) she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!(Y)”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.(Z)
