1 Tega okutu ggwe eggulu, nange nnaayogera, wulira ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.
“Lalelani, we mazulu, ngizakhuluma, zwana, we mhlaba, amazwi omlomo wami.
2 Okuyigiriza kwange ka kutonnye ng’enkuba, n’ebigambo byange bigwe ng’omusulo, bigwe ng’obufuuyirize ku muddo, ng’oluwandagirize ku bisimbe ebito.
Akuthi imfundiso yami inethe njengezulu kuthi amazwi ami ehle njengamazolo, njengemifefezo etshanini obutsha, njengezulu elinengi phezu kwamahlumela.
3 Kubanga ndirangirira erinnya lya Mukama; mutendereze ekitiibwa kya Katonda waffe!
Ngizaliphakamisa ibizo likaThixo. Yebo dumisani ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu wethu!
4 Lwe lwazi, emirimu gye mituukirivu, n’ebikolwa bye byonna bya bwenkanya. Ye Katonda omwesigwa, ataliiko bukuusa, omwenkanya era omutereevu mu byonna.
UliDwala, imisebenzi yakhe iphelele, njalo zonke izindlela zakhe zilungile. UNkulunkulu othembekileyo ongenzi okubi, uqotho njalo ulungile yena.
5 Beeyisizza ng’abagwenyufu gy’ali, baswavu era tebakyali baana be, wabula omulembe omukyamu era ogw’amawaggali.
Sebenze okubi phambi kwakhe; balihlazo kabase bantwabakhe, kodwa isizukulwane esixhwalileyo lesingaqondanga.
6 Bwe mutyo bwe musasula Mukama Katonda, mmwe abantu abasirusiru era abatalina magezi? Si ye kitaawo eyakutonda, n’akussaawo n’akunyweza?
Yiyonale na indlela yokubonga kwenu uThixo, lina ziwula zabantu abangelakuhlakanipha? KasuYihlo, uMdali wenu, owalenzayo njalo owalibumbayo na?
7 Jjukira ebiseera eby’edda, fumiitiriza ku myaka egyayita edda. Buuza kitaawo ajja kukubuulira ne bakadde bo abakulembeze bajja kukutegeeza.
Khumbulani insuku zakudala; likhumbule izizukulwane zasendulo. Buza uyihlo yena uzakutshela, abadala benu, njalo bazakuchasisela.
8 Ali Waggulu Ennyo bwe yagabanyiza amawanga ensi zaago abantu bonna bwe yabayawulayawulamu, yategeka ensalo z’amawanga ng’omuwendo gw’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe gwali.
Kwathi oPhezukonke esephe izizwe ilifa lazo, eselwahlukanisile uluntu, walufakela imingcele, kusiya ngenani lamadodana ka-Israyeli.
9 Omugabo gwa Mukama Katonda be bantu be, Yakobo bwe busika bwe bwe yagabana.
Ngoba isabelo sikaThixo ngabantu bakhe, uJakhobe yisabelo sakhe esikhethiweyo.
10 Yamuyisanga mu ddungu, mu nsi enkalu eya kikuŋŋunta. Yamuzibiranga, n’amulabiriranga, n’amukuumanga ng’emmunye ey’eriiso lye.
Wamfica elizweni eliyinkangala, indawo engatheli lutho njalo elodlame. Wamvikela, wamonga; wamsingatha njengegugu lakhe,
11 Ng’empungu bw’enyegenya ku kisu kyayo, n’epaapaalira waggulu w’obwana bwayo, era nga bw’eyanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byayo, n’ebusitula, n’ebutumbiiza ku biwaawaatiro byayo,
njengokhozi lunyakazisa isidleke salo, beselundiza phezu kwamachwane alo, lwelule amaphiko alo ukuwagola, luwathwale ngamaphiko alo.
12 Mukama Katonda yekka ye yamukulemberanga; so tewabangawo katonda mulala.
Nguye yedwa uThixo owamkhokhelayo; kungekho unkulunkulu wezizweni owayelaye.
13 Yamuteeka ku ntikko z’ensozi ez’ensi eyo, n’amuliisanga ku bibala by’omu nnimiro. Yamukulizanga ku mubisi gw’enjuki ogw’omu njatika z’enjazi n’amafuta agaavanga mu mayinja amagumu
Wamkhweza engqongeni yelizwe wamondla ngezithelo zeganga. Wamondla ngoluju olwaluvela edwaleni, langamafutha aphuma ezingoxweni zeliwa,
14 ne bbongo eyavanga mu biraalo, n’amata okuva mu bisibo, n’amasavu ag’endiga ento n’ennume, n’embuzi ennume n’enduusi ez’e Basani, awamu n’eŋŋaano esinga obulungi, wanywanga wayini ow’ejjovu eyavanga mu mizabbibu.
lezankefu langochago oluvela emihlambini yenkomo leyezimvu; lamazinyane anonisiweyo ezimvu lembuzi, lenqama zekhethelo zaseBhashani, kanye lengqoloyi elezinhlamvu ezinhle. Wanatha igazi eliphuphumayo lesithelo samavini.
15 Yesuluuni yakkuta n’agejja n’asambagala; ng’ojjudde emmere nga weezitoowerera n’oggwaamu amaanyi. Yava ku Katonda eyamukola, n’alekulira Olwazi olw’Obulokozi bwe.
UJeshuruni wazimuka watshakala; esesuthi ukudla, wakhuluphala waba butshelezi. Wamlahla uNkulunkulu owamdalayo waliphika iDwala uMsindisi wakhe.
16 Baamukwasa obuggya olwa bakatonda abalala ne bamusunguwaza ne bakatonda abalala.
Bambangela ubukhwele ngabonkulunkulu babo bezizweni bamthukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezinengekayo.
17 Baawaayo ssaddaaka eri baddayimooni, so si eri Katonda, eri bakatonda be batamanyangako, bakatonda abaggya abaali baakatuuka bakatonda abo bajjajjammwe be bataatyanga.
Benza imihlatshelo kuwo amadimoni, wona angasiNkulunkulu, onkulunkulu ababengazange babazi, onkulunkulu ababesanda kuvela, onkulunkulu ababengakhonzwa ngoyihlo.
18 Weerabira Olwazi eyakuzaala, weerabira Katonda eyakuzaala.
Walihlamukela iDwala, elinguyihlo; wakhohlwa uNkulunkulu owakuzalayo.
19 Mukama Katonda bwe yakiraba n’abeegobako kubanga yasunguwazibwa batabani be ne bawala be.
UThixo wakubona lokhu wabafulathela ngoba wathukutheliswa ngamadodana lamadodakazi akhe.
20 N’agamba nti, Nzija kubakweka amaaso gange ndabe ebinaabatuukako; kubanga omulembe gwabwe mwonoonefu, abaana abatalinaamu bwesigwa.
‘Ngizabufihla ubuso bami kubo,’ watsho uThixo, ‘ngize ngibone ukuthi bazaphetha ngani; ngoba bayisizukulwana esixhwalileyo abantwana abangathembekanga.
21 Bankwasa obuggya ne bakatonda abalala, ne banyiiza n’ebifaananyi byabwe omutali nsa. Ndibakwasa obuggya olw’abo abatali ggwanga, ndibakwasa obusungu olw’eggwanga eritategeera.
Bangenza ngaba lobukhwele ngalokho okwakungasinkulunkulu njalo bangithukuthelisa ngezithombe zabo ezingasizi lutho. Ngizabavusela umhawu ngesizwe esingesibantu balutho; ngibazondise ngesizwe esingazwisisiyo.
22 Kubanga obusungu bwange bukumye omuliro, ne gwaka okutuukira ddala wansi mu magombe, gusenkenya ensi n’ebibala byayo, ne gwokya amasozi okutandikira ku bikolo byago. (Sheol )
Ngoba umlilo usulunyathiswe yikuthukuthela kwami, wona otshisa ujule uze uyethinta ukufa ngaphansi. Uzahangula udle umhlaba kanye lesivuno sawo uthungele lezinsika zezintaba. (Sheol )
23 Nzija kubatuumangako emitawaana ne mbayiwangako obusaale bwange.
Ngizabehlisela izigigaba, imitshoko yami iphelele phezu kwabo.
24 Nnaabasindikiranga enjala namuzisa, n’obulwadde obwokya, ne kawumpuli omuzikiriza; ndibaweereza ebisolo eby’amannyo amasongovu n’ebyewalula mu nfuufu eby’obusagwa.
Ngizabathumela inkengane eqeda amandla, izifo ezibhubhisayo lomkhuhlane otshabalalisayo; ngizabathumela amazinyo abukhali ezinyamazana zeganga, ubuthi bezinhlangwana ezihuquzelayo emhlabathini.
25 Ekitala kinaabamalangako abaana baabwe ne mu maka gaabwe eneebanga ntiisa njereere. Abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala balizikirira abaana abawere n’abasajja ab’envi bonna batyo.
Ezindleleni inkemba izabaswelisa abantwana, emizini kuzabusa uchuku. Amadodana lamadodakazi azabhujiswa aphele, abantwana abancinyane kanye lamadoda alenwele ezimhlophe.
26 Nalowoozaako ku ky’okubasaasaanya wabulewo akyabajjukiranga ku nsi.
Ngithe ngizabachitha ngisuse imbali yabo bakhohlakale emhlabeni,
27 Naye ne saagala abalabe baabwe kubasosonkereza, kubanga abaabalumbagana bandiremeddwa okukitegeera, ne beewaana nti, “Ffe tuwangudde, Mukama ebyo byonna si ye yabikoze.”
kodwa ngesaba ukweyisa kwesitha, funa isitha singezwisisi besesisithi, “Isandla sethu sinqobile, njalo uThixo kakwenzanga konke lokhu.”’
28 Lye ggwanga omutali magezi, mu bo temuliimu kutegeera.
Bayisizwe esingelangqondo, akukho ukuqedisisa kubo.
29 Singa baali bagezi ekyo bandikitegedde, ne balowooza ku biribatuukako ku nkomerero.
Ngabe kodwa bahlakaniphile njalo bezwisise lokhu, babe lokuqedisisa ukuthi sizakuba yini isiphetho sabo!
30 Omusajja omu yandisobodde atya okugoba abantu olukumi, oba ababiri okudumya omutwalo ne badduka, wabula nga Lwazi waabwe y’abatunzeeyo, Mukama Katonda ng’abawaddeyo?
Kungenzeka njani ukuthi umuntu oyedwa axotshane lenkulungwane, loba ababili basukele izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zibaleke na, ngaphandle kokuthi iDwala labo nxa labathengisa; langaphandle kokuthi uThixo wabo esebahlanekele?
31 Kya mazima lwazi waabwe tali nga Lwazi waffe, abalabe baffe bakiriziganya naffe.
Ngoba elabo idwala alinjengelethu iDwala, njengoba lezitha zethu zivuma.
32 Wayini waabwe ava mu terekero lya wayini wa Sodomu, n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu za Ggomola; ezzabbibu zaabwe zabbibu za butwa, ebirimba byazo bikaawa;
Iwayini labo livela esivinini saseSodoma lasemasimini aseGomora. Amagrebisi abo agcwele itshefu, lamaxha awo amunyu.
33 wayini waazo bwe butwa bw’emisota obusagwa obukambwe obw’amasalambwa.
Iwayini labo liyibuthi bezinyoka, ubuhlungu obubulalayo bezinhlangwana.
34 Ekyo saakyeterekera, nga kuliko n’envumbo mu mawanika gange?
‘Kambe lokhu angikugodlanga na ngakugcikela eziphaleni zami na?
35 Okuwoolera eggwanga kwange, nze ndisasula. Luliba lumu ebigere byabwe ne biseerera, obudde bwabwe obw’okuzikirira busembedde, n’okubonerezebwa kwabwe kubafubutukirako.
Ukuphindisela ngokwami; ngizabuyisela. Ngesikhathi esifaneleyo unyawo lwabo luzatshelela; usuku lwabo lokubhujiswa luseduze, ukuchitheka kwabo kubalanda ngesiqubu.’
36 Mukama Katonda alisalira abantu omusango mu bwenkanya, alisaasira abaweereza be, bw’aliraba ng’amaanyi gonna gabaweddemu, omuddu n’ow’eddembe nga tewasigadde n’omu.
UThixo uzakwahlulela abantu bakhe, abe lozwelo ezincekwini zakhe lapho esebona amandla abo ephela njalo kakho ozasala, isigqili loba okhululekileyo.
37 N’alyoka abuuza nti, Kale nno bakatonda baabwe bali ludda wa, olwazi mwe beekweka.
Uzakuthi: ‘Kanti bangaphi onkulunkulu babo, lelodwala ababephephela kulo,
38 Baani abaalyanga amasavu ku ssaddaaka zaabwe, ne banywa envinnyo ey’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa? Basituke bajje babayambe, kale babawe obubudamo babakuume!
onkulunkulu abadla amafutha emihlatshelo yabo njalo banatha iwayini elingumnikelo wokunathwayo kwabo? Kabaphakame balincedise! Kabaliphe umthunzi wokuphephela!
39 Mulabe kaakano, nga nze kennyini, nze Ye! Tewali katonda mulala wabula Nze; nzita era ne nzuukiza, nfumita era ne mponya; era tewali atangira mukono gwange nga gukola.
Angithi liyazibonela ukuthi Mina ngiNguye! Kakho omunye unkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Ngiyabhubhisa njalo ngiyaphilisa. Ngilimazile njalo ngizelapha, kakho ongaphunyuka esandleni sami.
40 Ngolola omukono gwange eri eggulu ne nangirira nti, ddala ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu emirembe gyonna
Ngiphakamisela isandla sami ezulwini ngithi: Njengoba ngeqiniso ngiphila nini lanini,
41 bwe mpagala ekitala kyange ekimasamasa, n’omukono gwange ne gukikwata nga nsala emisango, nnaawalananga abalabe bange, ne neesasuzanga eri abanaankyawanga.
nxa ngilola inkemba yami ephazimayo lesandla sami siyibamba ekwehluleleni, ngizaphindisela kuzozonke izitha zami, ngiphindisele kulabo abangizondayo.
42 Obusaale bwange ndibutamiiza omusaayi, n’ekitala kyange kirirya ennyama, n’omusaayi gw’abattiddwa n’abawambiddwa, n’ogw’emitwe egy’abakulembeze b’abalabe.
Imitshoko yami izagava igazi, kanti inkemba izakudla enyameni: igazi lalabo ababulawayo labathunjwayo, amakhanda alabo abangabakhokheli bezitha.’
43 Mujaguze mmwe amawanga awamu n’abantu be, kubanga aliwalanira omusaayi gw’abaweereza be, aliwalana abalabe be, era alitangirira olw’ensi ye n’abantu be.
Jabulani, lina zizwe, kanye labantu bakhe, ngoba uzaphindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe, uzaphindisela ezitheni zakhe, njalo enzele ilizwe lakhe labantu bakhe indlela yokubuyisana.”
44 Awo Musa n’ajja awamu ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, n’addamu ebigambo byonna eby’oluyimba olwo ng’abantu bonna bawulira.
UMosi weza loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wethula wonke amazwi engoma le abantu bonke besizwa.
45 Musa bwe yamala okuddamu ebigambo ebyo byonna eri abaana ba Isirayiri,
UMosi wathi eqeda ukuwethula lamazwi phambi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli,
46 n’abagamba nti, “Mukwate ku mutima gwammwe ebigambo byonna bye mbategeezezza leero n’obuwombeefu obungi, mulyoke mulagire abaana bammwe bagonderenga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.
wathi kubo, “Alondolozeni ezinhliziyweni zenu wonke lamazwi engiwethule phambi kwenu ngesifungo lamuhla, ukuze libe lakho ukubalaya abantwabenu ukuba bawalalele ngonanzelelo amazwi alo umthetho.
47 Ebigambo ebyo si bya kusaagasaaga, wabula bye bigambo ebikwatira ddala ku bulamu bwammwe bwennyini. Okusinziira ku bigambo bino, mugenda kuwangaala nga muli mu nsi gye mugenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugifuna.”
Akusimazwi alula nje kini, ayikuphila kwenu. Ngala amazwi lizaphila isikhathi eside elizweni eselingena kulo lichapha uJodani ukuba lilithathe libe ngelenu.”
48 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa bw’ati nti,
Ngalolosuku uThixo watshela uMosi wathi,
49 “Yambuka olinnyerinnye ku Lusozi Nebo oluli mu nsozi za Abalimu mu nsi ya Mowaabu, osusse amaaso Yeriko olengere ensi ya Kanani gy’empa abaana ba Isirayiri okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.
“Khwela uye okhahlamba lwezintaba zase-Abharimi eNtabeni yaseNebho kwelamaMowabi, ngaphetsheya kweJerikho, ukuze ubone iKhenani, ilizwe engilinika abako-Israyeli ukuba balithathe libe ngelabo.
50 Ku lusozi olwo lw’ojja okulinnya kw’olifiira okuŋŋaanyizibwe eri abantu bo, nga muganda wo Alooni bwe yafiira ku lusozi Koola, n’akuŋŋaanyizibwa eri abantu be.
Phezu kwaleyontaba okhwele phezu kwayo uzakufa umbelwe uye kubokhokho bakho njengoba u-Aroni laye wafela entabeni yaseHori wembelwa kwabakibo.
51 Kubanga mwembi mwanziggyamu obwesige mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri ku mazzi g’e Meriba-Kadesi mu ddungu ly’e Zini, olw’okulemwa okussa ekitiibwa ekituukiridde mu butukuvu bwange mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi lina lobabili lalahla ithemba lenu kimi phambi kwabako-Israyeli emachibini aseMeribha Khadeshi, eNkangala yaseZini langenxa yokuthi alizange lime ngobungcwele bami phambi kwabako-Israyeli.
52 Noolwekyo ensi ojja kugirengera bulengezi, so toligiyingiramu, ensi gye mpa abaana ba Isirayiri.”
Ngenxa yalokho, ilizwe uzalibonela kude, awusoze ungene elizweni esengilinika abako-Israyeli ukuba bangene kulo.”
