Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 21
1 Bw’olimala okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda gy’akuwa okugirya, omuntu n’asangibwa mu nsiko ng’attiddwa, kyokka ng’eyamusse tamanyiddwa,
“Nxa kungafunyanwa umuntu obuleweyo egangeni, elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu, kungaziwa ukuthi ubulewe ngubani,
2 bakadde bo, abakulembeze, n’abalamuzi bo banaafulumanga ne bagenda bapima obuwanvu bw’ebbanga okuva ku mulambo okutuuka ku bibuga ebinaabanga bigwebulunguludde.
abakhokheli kanye labehluleli benu bazakuya balinganise umango phakathi kwalowo obuleweyo lamadolobho aseduze.
3 Kale nno abakadde abakulembeze b’ekibuga ekinaabanga kisinga okuliraana n’omulambo ogwo, banaaddiranga ente enduusi etakozesebwangako mulimu gwonna, etassibwangamu kikoligo,
Kuzakuthi abakhokheli bamadolobho aseduzane lesidumbu leso bathathe ithokazi elingakaze lisetshenziswe futhi okungakaze kugaxwe ijogwe phezu kwalo
4 ne bagiserengesa mu kiwonvu ekirimu akagga akakulukuta; ekitalimwangamu wadde okusimbwamu emmere. Mu kiwonvu omwo mwe banaanyoleranga ensingo y’ente eyo ne bagimenya.
balithintele esigodini esingakaze silinywe kumbe kuhlanyelwe ulutho kiso njalo lapho okulesifula esigelezayo khona. Kabephule intamo yalo khonapho esigodini leso.
5 Kale nno batabani ba Leevi, bakabona, banaavangayo ne basembera, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo yabalonda okumuweerezanga, n’okusabiranga emikisa mu linnya lya Mukama n’okutereezanga empaka zonna n’obulumbaganyi.
Abaphristi, amadodana kaLevi, bazasondela, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ubakhethile ukuba benze inkonzo njalo bamemezele izibusiso ebizweni likaThixo bahlulele amacala okuxabana lawokulwa.
6 Awo abakadde abakulembeze bonna ab’omu kibuga ekinaasinganga okuliraana omulambo ogwo, banaanaabiranga engalo zaabwe ku nte eri enduusi eyamenyebbwa ensingo mu kiwonvu,
Abakhokheli balawo madolobho aseduzane lesidumbu leso bazagezela izandla zabo phezu kwethokazi elephulelwe intamo esigodini,
7 ne boogera nti, “Emikono gyaffe si gye gyayiwa omusaayi guno, ne bwe gwali guyiyibwa amaaso gaffe tegaagulaba, tetwaliwo nga guyiyibwa.
bafakaze bathi: ‘Izandla zethu kazilichithanga leligazi, futhi asibonanga kusenzeka.
8 Osonyiwe abantu bo, Isirayiri, be wanunula Ayi Mukama Katonda, oleme kuleka wakati mu bantu bo, Isirayiri, omusango ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi, gwe batazzanga.” Bwe batyo banaasonyiyibwanga omusango gw’omusaayi ogwo.
Yamukela lindlela yokubuyisana yabantu bakho abako-Israyeli, obahlengileyo, Oh Thixo, ungabeki icala phezu kwabantu bakho ngenxa yegazi lomuntu omsulwa.’ Ngakho ukuchithwa kwegazi kuzahlawulelwa.
9 Bw’otyo bw’onoggyangawo omusango wakati wammwe ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi ogutaliiko nsonga, kubanga onoobanga okoze ekituufu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
Ngalokho lizazigeza emlandwini wokuchitha igazi elingelacala, njengoba selenzile okuhle emehlweni kaThixo.”
10 Bw’ogendanga okutabaala balabe bo, Mukama n’abagabula mu mikono gyo n’onyagayo abantu,
“Nxa usiya empini ukuyahlasela izitha zakho kuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu anikele izitha zenu ezandleni zenu, lizithumbe,
11 mu abo abanyagiddwa bw’onoolabangamu omukazi alabika obulungi n’omwagala, n’oyagala okumuwasa,
ungabona owesifazane omuhle njalo akukhange, ungamthatha abe ngumkakho.
12 omutwalanga mu maka go, n’omulagira okumwa omutwe gwe, n’okusalako enjala ze,
Uzamusa emzini wakho, aphuce ikhanda lakhe, aqume inzipho zakhe njalo
13 n’engoye ze mwe yawambirwa azeeyambulangamu. Bw’anaamalanga mu nju yo omwezi mulamba ng’akungubagira kitaawe ne nnyina, onoogendanga gy’ali n’obeera bba, naye anaabeeranga mukazi wo.
akhulule izigqoko athunjwe ezigqokile. Kuzakuthi lapho eseqede inyanga eyodwa esemzini wakho elilela uyise lonina, usungamthatha abe ngumkakho,
14 Kyokka bw’anaabanga takusanyusizza, omuwanga eddembe n’agenda so tomutundanga nsimbi. Tomuyisanga nga muddu, kubanga ggwe wamumalamu ekitiibwa kye.
kodwa nxa engakuthokozisi, umkhulule ayelapho athanda khona. Ungamthengisi kumbe umphathe njengesigqili, ngoba usumngcolisile.”
15 Omusajja bw’anaabanga n’abakazi babiri, omu nga muganzi naye omulala nga mukyawe, bombi ne bamuzaalira abaana aboobulenzi, naye ng’omwana omubereberye ye w’omukyawe;
“Nxa indoda ilabafazi ababili, ithande omunye kodwa omunye ingamthandi, kuthi bobabili bayizalele amadodana kodwa izibulo libe yindodana yomfazi engamthandiyo,
16 bw’anaabanga agabira batabani be abo ebintu bye mu ddaame lye, takkirizibwenga kuyisa mwana wa muganzi ng’omubereberye, singa omwana w’omukyawe ye mubereberye.
nxa ehlela ukwabela amadodana akhe impahla yakhe, akumelanga emuke izibulo lakhe ilungelo lalo aliphe indodana yomfazi amthandayo esikhundleni sezibulo langempela, indodana yomfazi engamthandiyo.
17 Anaasaaniranga okukkiriza nti omwana w’omukyawe ye mubereberye, era anaamuwanga emiteeko ebiri egy’ebintu bye byonna by’alina, kubanga oyo ge maanyi ga kitaawe amabereberye. Ye nannyini ddembe ery’obwebange ery’omwana omubereberye.
Kufanele itshengisele ukuthi indodana yomfazi ongathandwayo yilo izibulo ngokuyinika isabelo esiphindwe kabili sempahla yayo yonke. Indodana leyo iyisibonakaliso sakuqala samandla kayise. Ilungelo lobuzibulo ngelayo.”
18 Omuntu bw’anaabanga ne mutabani we omukakanyavu omujeemu atagondera biragiro bya kitaawe wadde ebya nnyina, atabafaako bwe bamubonerezaamu olw’obutawulira,
“Nxa indoda ilendodana eyisiqholo njalo engumhlamuki engalaleli uyise lonina nxa beyikhuza,
19 kitaawe ne nnyina banaamukwatanga ne bamuleeta eri abakulu abakulembeze ab’omu kibuga kye waabwe nga bali wabweru w’omulyango gw’ekibuga ekyo.
uyise lonina bazayibamba bayise ebadaleni esangweni ledolobho lakibo.
20 Banaategeezanga abakulu abakulembeze b’omu kibuga kye waabwe nti, “Mutabani waffe ono mukakanyavu era mujeemu. Tatuwulira. Wa mulugube nnyo era mutamiivu.”
Kumele bafike ebadaleni balelodolobho bathi, ‘Indodana yethu le iyisiqholo njalo ingumhlamuki. Ayisilaleli. Iyisixhwali njalo iyisidakwa.’
21 Kale nno abasajja b’omu kibuga ekyo banaamukubanga amayinja ne bamutta. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangawo ekibi wakati wo. Isirayiri yenna anaakiwuliranga, n’atya.
Ngakho wonke amadoda akulelodolobho azayitshaya ngamatshe ize ife. Kufanele liqede bonke ububi phakathi kwenu. U-Israyeli wonke uzakuzwa lokhu esabe.”
22 Omuntu bw’anaasingibwanga ogw’okufa n’attibwa, n’awanikibwa ku muti,
“Nxa umuntu olecala elikhulu ebulawa kuthi isidumbu silengiswe esihlahleni,
23 omulambo gwe teguulekebwenga ku muti ne gusulako ekiro kyonna; onoomuziikanga ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, kubanga omuntu awanikibwa ku muti, Katonda aba amukolimidde. Togwagwawazanga nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okugirya okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira.
lingaboyekela isidumbu sakhe silenga esihlahleni ubusuku bonke. Kangcwatshwe mhlalokho, ngoba umuntu olengiswa esihlahleni uqalekisiwe nguNkulunkulu. Lingangcolisi ilizwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona njengelifa.”
