Ezeekyeri 18
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
2 “Mutegeeza ki bwe mugerera olugero luno ensi ya Isirayiri nti, “‘Bakitaabwe balidde ezabbibu ezikaawa, n’amannyo g’abaana ganyenyeera’?
“Munoreveiko vanhu imi zvamunodzokorora tsumo iyi pamusoro penyika yeIsraeri, muchiti, “‘Madzibaba akadya mazambiringa anovava, meno avana akaita ugugu’?
3 “Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, temuliddayo kugera lugero olwo mu Isirayiri.
“Zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, hamuchazodzokororizve tsumo iyi muIsraeri.
4 Buli kiramu, kyange; obulamu bw’omuzadde n’obw’omwana bwonna nabwo bwange.
Nokuti mweya mupenyu mumwe nomumwe ndowangu, baba pamwe chete nomwanakomana vose saizvozvo ndevangu. Mweya unotadza ndiwo uchafa.
5 “Emmeeme eyonoona ye erifa, omuntu bw’abeera omutuukirivu n’akola ebyalagirwa era ebituufu;
“Ngatiti pane munhu akarurama anoita zvinhu nokururamisira uye nokururama.
6 nga talya mu masabo agali ku nsozi newaakubadde okusinza bakatonda abalala ab’ennyumba ya Isirayiri; n’atayenda ne mukazi wa muliraanwa we, newaakubadde okwebaka n’omukazi ali mu biseera bye eby’abakyala;
Haadyiri pashongwe dzezvifananidzo mumakomo kana kutarira kuzvifananidzo zveimba yaIsraeri. Haasvibisi mukadzi womuvakidzani wake, kana kuvata nomukadzi ari kumwedzi.
7 omuntu atalyazaamaanya muntu yenna, naye asasula ebbanja lye lyonna, atanyaga muntu yenna, naye emmere ye agigabira abayala, n’ayambaza n’abali obwereere;
Haamanikidzi mumwe munhu, asi anodzorera rubatso rwaakatora pachikwereti. Haaiti zvougororo, asi anopa zvokudya zvake kune vane nzara uye anopfekedza vakashama.
8 atawola lwa magoba newaakubadde okutwala ensimbi ezisukkamu mu ezo ze yawola. Yeewala okukola ekibi, era asala emisango egy’ensonga.
Haarevi chimbadzo paanokweretesa kana kutora mhindu yakakurisa. Anodzivisa ruoko rwake kuita zvakaipa, uye anotonga zvakarurama pakati pomunhu nomunhu.
9 Agoberera ebiragiro byange, n’akuuma amateeka gange n’obwesigwa, oyo ye muntu omutuukirivu era aliba mulamu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Anotevera mitemo yangu, uye akatendeka pakuchengeta mirayiro yangu. Munhu uyo akarurama; zvirokwazvo achararama, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
10 “Bw’aba n’omwana omulalu, ayiwa omusaayi, oba akola ebifaanana ng’ebyo,
“Ngatiti ane mwanakomana anoita zvechisimba, anoteura ropa kana chimwe chezvinhu izvi
11 newaakubadde nga kitaawe ebyo tabikola: “N’alya mu masabo agali ku nsozi, n’ayenda ku mukazi wa muliraanwa we,
(kunyange baba vake vasina kumboita chimwe chazvo): “Anodya pashongwe dzezvifananidzo mumakomo. Anochinya mukadzi womuvakidzani wake.
12 n’anyigiriza omwavu n’omunaku, n’okubba n’abba, n’atasasula kye yeeyama, n’asinza bakatonda abalala, n’akola eby’ekivve,
Anomanikidza varombo navanoshayiwa. Anoita zvougororo. Haadzoreri zvaakakwereta. Anotarisira kuzvifananidzo. Anoita zvinonyangadza.
13 n’awola ng’asuubira amagoba, oba n’okutwala ensimbi ezisukka mu ezo ze yawola; omuntu ng’oyo aliba mulamu? Taliba mulamu. Kubanga akoze ebintu ebyo byonna eby’ekivve, kyaliva attibwa, n’omusaayi gwe guliba ku mutwe gwe ye.
Anokweretesa achireva chimbadzo uye anotora mhindu yakakura. Munhu akadaro achararama here? Kwete, haangararami! Nokuda kwokuti akaita zvinhu izvi zvinonyangadza, achafa, zvirokwazvo, uye ropa rake richava pamusoro pake.
14 “Naye bw’aba n’omuzzukulu, alaba ebibi byonna kitaawe by’akola, n’atakola bya ngeri eyo;
“Asi ngatimboti, mwanakomana uyu ane mwanakomana anoona zvivi zvose zvinoitwa nababa vake, uye kunyange achivaona, haaiti zvinhu zvakadai:
15 “N’atalya mu masabo agali ku nsozi newaakubadde okusinza bakatonda abalala ab’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, n’atayenda na mukazi wa muliraanwa we,
“Haadyi pashongwe dzamakomo kana kutarisira kuzvifananidzo zveimba yaIsraeri. Haachinyi mukadzi womuvakidzani wake.
16 atanyigiriza muntu yenna newaakubadde okusaba amagoba ku bbanja lye yawola, atabba, naye agabira emmere abayala n’abali obwereere n’abambaza.
Haamanikidzi munhu upi zvake kana kureva rubatso pachikwereti. Haaiti ugororo, asi anopa zvokudya zvake kuna vaya vane nzara, uye anopfekedza vanoshaya zvipfeko.
17 Yeekuuma obutakola kibi, n’atalya magoba ku bbanja newaakubadde okutwala ensimbi ezisukiridde, era akuuma amateeka gange n’agoberera n’ebiragiro byange. Talifa olw’ebibi bya kitaawe, naye aliba mulamu.
Anodzivisa ruoko rwake kutadza uye haarevi chimbadzo kana mhindu yakakura. Anochengeta mirayiro yangu nokutevera mitemo yangu. Haangafi nokuda kwechivi chababa vake; zvirokwazvo achararama.
18 Naye kitaawe alifa olw’ebibi bye ye kubanga yalyazaamanya, n’anyaga muliraanwa we, n’akola ebitaali birungi mu bantu banne.
Asi baba vake vachafa nokuda kwechivi chavo, nokuti vaiita zvinhu nokumanikidza, vakapamba mununʼuna wavo uye vakaita zvakaipa pakati pavanhu vavo.
19 “Mubuuza nti, ‘Lwaki omwana tabonaabona olw’ebibi bya kitaawe?’ Omwana bw’aba akoze eby’ensonga era ebituufu, ng’agoberedde ebiragiro byange, aliba mulamu.
“Kunyange zvakadaro munobvunza muchiti, ‘Mwanakomana anoregereiko kuva nemhosva yezvakaipa zvababa vake?’ Sezvo mwanakomana akaita nokururamisira uye nokururama uye kuti akanga akangwaririra kuchengeta mitemo yangu, iye achararama zvirokwazvo.
20 Emmeeme eyonoona ye erifa. Omwana talibonaabona olw’ebibi bya kitaawe, so ne kitaawe talibonaabona olw’ebibi eby’omwana we. Obutuukirivu bw’omuntu omutuukirivu bulibalirwa ye, n’obutali butuukirivu bw’oyo atali mutuukirivu bulibalirwa ye.
Mweya unotadza ndiwo uchafa. Mwanakomana haangagovani nababa vake pamhosva yavo, uye baba havangagovani mhosva yavo nomwanakomana. Kururama kwowakarurama kuchava pamusoro pake, uye kuipa kwowakaipa kuchava pamusoro powakaipa.
21 “Naye omuntu atali mutuukirivu bw’alikyuka n’alekeraawo okukola ebibi byonna, n’akuuma ebiragiro byange byonna n’akola eby’ensonga era ebituufu, aliba mulamu, talifa.
“Asi kana akaipa akatendeuka kubva pazvivi zvaakaita uye akachengeta mitemo yangu, akaita nokururamisira uye nokururama, zvirokwazvo achararama; haangafi zvirokwazvo.
22 Tewaliba kyonoono na kimu ku ebyo bye baakola ebirijjukirwa, naye olw’eby’obutuukirivu bye baliba bakoze, baliba balamu.
Kudarika kwake kwose kwaakaita hakungarangarirwi. Nokuda kwezvinhu zvakarurama zvaakaita, iye achararama.
23 Mulowooza nga nsanyukira okufa kw’atali mutuukirivu? Bw’ayogera Mukama. Sisinga kusanyuka nnyo bwe ndaba ng’akyuse okuva mu ngeri ze n’aba omulamu?
Ko, ndingafarira rufu rwowakaipa here? Ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Asi handifari here pavanotendeuka kubva panzira dzavo kuti vararame?
24 “Naye omuntu omutuukirivu bw’alekeraawo okukola eby’obutuukirivu, n’akola eby’ekivve bye bimu n’eby’omuntu atali mutuukirivu, aliba mulamu? Tewaliba ne kimu ku ebyo eby’obutuukirivu bye yakola, ebirijjukirwa: Olw’obutaba mwesigwa aliba n’omusango, era n’olw’ebibi bye yakola, alifa.
“Asi kana munhu akarurama akatsauka pakururama kwake akaita chivi uye akaitawo zvinonyangadza zvinoitwa nomunhu akaipa, angararama here? Zvakarurama zvaakaita hazvizorangarirwi. Nokuda kwemhosva yokusatendeuka kwaanako uye nokuda kwezvivi zvaakaita, iye achafa zvirokwazvo.
25 “Mugamba nti, ‘Mukama si mwenkanya.’ Kaakano muwulire mwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, enkola yange y’etali ya bwenkanya oba mmwe mutali benkanya?
“Asi munoti, ‘Nzira yaJehovha haina kururama.’ Haiwa imi imba yaIsraeri: Nzira yangu haina kururama here? Ko, hadzisi nzira dzenyu imi dzisakarurama here?
26 Omuntu omutuukirivu bw’aleka okukola ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu n’akola ebibi, mw’alifiira, kubanga ebibi by’akoze bye birimuleetera okufa.
Kana munhu akarurama akatsauka akaita chivi, achafa nokuda kwechivi chake; nokuda kwechivi chaakaita achafa.
27 Naye bw’alikyuka okuva mu butali butuukirivu bwe bw’akoze, n’akola eby’ensonga era ebituufu, alirokola obulamu bwe.
Asi kana munhu akaipa akadzoka pane zvakaipa zvake zvaakaita akaita zvakarurama nokururamisira, achaponesa mweya wake.
28 Era bw’alirowooza ku bibi byonna by’akoze, n’akyuka n’alekeraawo okubikola, mazima ddala aliba mulamu, talifa.
Nokuti anorangarira kudarika kwake kwose kwaakaita uye anotendeuka kubva panzira dzake, zvirokwazvo achararama; haangafi.
29 Naye oluvannyuma ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne mwogera nti, ‘Ekkubo lya Mukama si lya bwenkanya.’ Mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, engeri zange ze zitali za bwenkanya? Engeri zammwe si ze zitali za bwenkanya?
Asi imba yaIsraeri inoti, ‘Nzira yaJehovha haina kururama.’ Nzira dzangu hadzina kururama here, imi imba yaIsraeri? Ko, hadzisi nzira dzenyu dzisakarurama here?
30 “Kyendiva mbasalira omusango, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, buli muntu ng’ebikolwa byammwe bwe biri, bw’ayogera Mukama. Mwenenye, muleke ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu, oba nga ssi weewaawo ebibi byammwe biribaleetera okuzikirira.
“Naizvozvo, imi imba yaIsraeri, ndichakutongai, mumwe nomumwe zvakafanira nzira dzake, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Tendeukai! Dzokai pakudarika kwenyu kwose; ipapo chivi hachingakuwisirei pasi.
31 Mweggyeeko ebikolwa byonna ebitali bya butuukirivu, bye mukoze, mufune omutima omuggya n’omwoyo omuggya. Kiki ekibaleetera okufa, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri?
Rasai kudarika kwenyu kwamakaita, mufuke mwoyo mutsva nomweya mutsva. Ko, muchafirei, imi imba yaIsraeri?
32 Sisanyukira kufa kwa muntu yenna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Mwenenye mube balamu.”
Nokuti handifariri rufu rwomunhu upi zvake, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Tendeukai murarame!
