1 Buli kintu kirina ekiseera kyakyo, na buli ekikolebwa wansi w’eggulu kirina ekiseera kyakyo.
Konke kulesikhathi esimisiweyo, njalo kulesikhathi sayo yonke indaba ngaphansi kwamazulu:
2 Waliwo ekiseera eky’okuzaalibwa n’ekiseera eky’okufa; ekiseera eky’okusimba ate n’ekiseera eky’okukungula ebyo ebyasimbibwa;
Isikhathi sokuzalwa, lesikhathi sokufa; isikhathi sokuhlanyela, lesikhathi sokusiphuna okuhlanyelweyo;
3 ekiseera eky’okutta n’ekiseera eky’okuwonya; ekiseera eky’okumenya n’ekiseera eky’okuzimba;
isikhathi sokubulala, lesikhathi sokuphilisa; isikhathi sokudiliza, lesikhathi sokwakha;
4 ekiseera eky’okukaabiramu n’ekiseera eky’okusekeramu; ekiseera eky’okukungubaga n’ekiseera eky’okuzina;
isikhathi sokukhala inyembezi, lesikhathi sokuhleka; isikhathi sokulila, lesikhathi sokugida;
5 ekiseera eky’okusaasaanyizaamu amayinja, n’ekiseera eky’okugakuŋŋaanyizaamu; ekiseera eky’okugwiramu mu kifuba n’ekiseera eky’okukyewaliramu;

9 Ddala omuntu kiki ky’afuna mu kutegana kwe?
Ulenzuzo bani osebenzayo kwatshikatshika kikho?
10 Ndabye omugugu Katonda gw’atadde ku bantu.
Ngiwubonile umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awunike abantwana babantu ukuthi baphatheke ngawo.
11 Buli kimu yakikola nga kirungi mu kiseera kyakyo. Kyokka newaakubadde nga Katonda yateeka mu mitima gy’abantu okutegeera obulamu obutaggwaawo, omuntu tayinza kuteebereza mulimu gwa Katonda gwonna, we gutandikira oba we gukoma.
Konke ukwenze kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sakho; wasebeka iphakade enhliziyweni yabo, ukuze kungabi lomuntu ongafumana umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awenzayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni.
12 Mmanyi nga tewali kisingira bantu kusanyuka na kukola bulungi nga balamu.
Ngiyazi ukuthi kakukho okuhle kubo ngaphandle kokuthokoza lokwenza okuhle empilweni yakhe.
13 Buli muntu alyoke alye, anywe afune okwesiima olw’ebyo ebiva mu kutegana kwe, kubanga ekyo kirabo kya Katonda.
Futhi lokuthi wonke umuntu adle anathe akholise okuhle ngomtshikatshika wakhe wonke, kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.
14 Mmanyi nga buli Katonda ky’akola kya lubeerera; tekyongerwako, era tewali kikijjibwako. Katonda yakikola bw’atyo, abantu balyoke bamutye.
Ngiyazi ukuthi konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kuzakuba khona phakade; kakukho okuzakwengezelelwa kukho, njalo kakukho okuzaphungulwa kukho; uNkulunkulu wakwenza ukuze besabe phambi kwakhe.
15 Ekyo ekiriwo ky’amala dda okubaawo; n’ekyo ekinaaberawo kyabaawo dda; era Katonda alagira ebyali bibaddewo, ne byongera okubaawo.
Lokho okwakukhona kukhona khathesi, lalokho okuzakuba khona sekuvele kukhona; njalo uNkulunkulu ufuna okuxotshiweyo.
16 Ate era nalaba nga wansi w’enjuba, mu kifo ky’okusala amazima waliwo kusaliriza; ne mu kifo ky’obutuukirivu waliwo bwonoonyi.
Futhi ngasengibona ngaphansi kwelanga indawo yokwahlulela, kwakukhona ububi lapho; lendawo yokulunga, kwakukhona ububi lapho.
17 Ne njogera munda yange nti, “Katonda aliramula abatuukirivu n’aboonoonyi; kubanga yateekawo ekiseera ekya buli kimu; era na buli mulimu.”
Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami: UNkulunkulu uzakwahlulela olungileyo lomubi, ngoba kukhona lapho isikhathi sayo yonke indaba lesawo wonke umsebenzi.
18 Ne ndowooza nti, “Katonda agezesa abaana b’abantu era bajjukire nti nsolo busolo.
Ngathi mina enhliziyweni yami ngesimo sabantwana babantu ukuthi uNkulunkulu abatshengise obala ukuthi babone ukuthi bona uqobo bazinyamazana.
19 Kubanga ekituuka ku baana b’abantu kye kituuka ne ku nsolo; omuntu afa, n’ensolo n’efa. Bonna bassa omukka gwe gumu; omuntu talina nkizo ku nsolo. Byonna butaliimu.
Ngoba okwehlela abantwana babantu kwehlela lezinyamazana; njalo yinye into ebehlelayo; njengoba omunye esifa, ngokunjalo enye iyafa; yebo konke kulomoya munye, lomuntu kalakho angadlula ngakho inyamazana; ngoba konke kuyize.
20 Bonna bagenda mu kifo kye kimu, bonna bava mu nfuufu era mu nfuufu mwe badda.
Konke kuya endaweninye; konke kuvela ethulini, njalo konke kubuyela ethulini.
21 Ani amanyi obanga omwoyo gw’omuntu gwambuka waggulu, ogw’ensolo gwo ne gukka mu ttaka?”
Ngubani owazi umoya wabantwana babantu owenyukela phezulu, lomoya wenyamazana owehlela phansi emhlabathini?
22 Bwe ntyo nalaba nga tewali kisinga muntu kusanyukira mulimu gwe, kubanga ekyo gwe mugabo gwe. Anti tewali asobola kumukomyawo alabe ebyo ebiribaawo oluvannyuma lwe.
Ngakho ngabona ukuthi kakukho okungcono okwedlula ukuthi umuntu azithokozise ngemisebenzi yakhe, ngoba lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe. Ngoba ngubani ongamletha ukuthi abone lokho okuzakuba khona emva kwakhe?
