< Ezeekyeri 44 >
1 Awo omusajja n’ankomyawo ku mulyango ogw’ebweru ogw’Awatukuvu ogutunuulira obuvanjuba; gwali muggale.
Emva kwalokho umuntu lowo wangibuyisela esangweni langaphandle lendlu engcwele, leli elikhangele empumalanga, njalo lalivaliwe.
2 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omulyango guno gwa kusigalanga nga muggale. Teguteekwa kugulwanga newaakubadde omuntu yenna okuguyitangamu. Gwa kusigalanga nga muggale kubanga Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri yaguyitamu.
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Isango leli kumele lihlale livaliwe. Akumelanga livulwe; akulamuntu ongangena ngalo. Kumele lihlale livaliwe ngoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ungene ngalo.
3 Omulangira yennyini, ye yekka anaatulanga mu mulyango n’aliira mu maaso ga Mukama, era nnaayingiranga ng’ayita mu kkubo ery’ekisasi eky’omulyango, ne mu kkubo eryo mw’anaafulumiranga.”
Inkosana yona ngokwayo yiyo kuphela engahlala phakathi kwesango ukuba idle phambi kukaThixo. Kuzamele ingene ngendlela yengenelo lesango njalo iphume ngayonaleyo indlela.”
4 Awo omusajja n’ankulembera ne tuyita mu kkubo ery’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono n’antwala mu maaso ga yeekaalu. Ne ntunula ne ndaba ekitiibwa kya Mukama nga kijjudde yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne nvuunama.
Indoda leyo yangisa phambi kwethempeli ngendlela yesango lasenyakatho. Ngakhangela ngabona inkazimulo kaThixo igcwele ethempelini likaThixo, ngathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
5 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, tunula weetegereze, owulirize bulungi era osseeyo omwoyo eri buli kye n’akugamba ku biragiro ebikwata ku nzirukanya ya yeekaalu ya Mukama. Tunula weetegereze bulungi awayingirirwa mu yeekaalu n’awafulumirwa wonna aw’Awatukuvu.
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, khangela ngokunanzelela, ulalelisise njalo uqaphele konke engikutshela khona mayelana lemithetho yonke eqondane lethempeli likaThixo. Qaphela intuba lethempeli layo yonke iminyango yokuphuma yendlu engcwele.
6 Tegeeza ennyumba ya Isirayiri enjeemu nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo bikome, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.’
Tshono kuyo indlu ehlamukayo ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, kaziphele izenzo zakho ezinengayo!
7 Ate n’okwogera ku ebyo ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo byonna, mukkiriza bannaggwanga, abatali bakomole mu mutima newaakubadde omubiri okuyingira Awatukuvu wange, ne boonoona eyeekaalu yange nga mmwe bwe mumpeerayo emmere, amasavu n’omusaayi ne mumenya endagaano yange.
Phezu kwazo zonke ezinye izenzo zakho ezinengayo ungenise abezizweni abangasokanga enhliziyweni lasenyameni endlini yami engcwele, ungcolisa ithempeli lami lapho unginika ukudla, amafutha legazi, njalo wephula isivumelwano sami.
8 Mu kifo eky’okukola ebibagwanira ng’ebintu byange ebitukuvu bwe biri, abalala bannaggwanga be mwakwasa okuvunaanyizibwa empya zange.
Ekubeni wenze okumele ukwenze mayelana lezinto zami ezingcwele, wena wabeka abanye ukuba baphathe indlu yami engcwele.
9 Kale Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Tewaliba munnaggwanga n’omu atali mukomole mu mutima newaakubadde omubiri aliyingira mu Watukuvu wange, newaakubadde bannaggwanga ababeera mu Bayisirayiri wakati.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Akulamuntu wezizweni ongasokanga enhliziyweni lasenyameni ozangena endlini yami engcwele ngitsho labezizweni abahlala phakathi kwama-Israyeli.
10 “‘Naye Abaleevi abanvaako, Isirayiri bwe yakyama, ne bagoberera bakatonda abalala, balibonerezebwa.
AbaLevi abaya khatshana lami lapho u-Israyeli wayeduhile njalo sebehlanhlathekele ezithombeni zabo besuka kimi, kumele bathwale umvuzo wesono sabo.
11 Baliba baweereza mu watukuvu wange, nga balabirira emiryango gya yeekaalu, era ng’omwo mwe baweerereza; banattiranga abantu ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka, era banabaweerezanga.
Bangakhonza endlini yami engcwele, bephethe amasango ethempeli njalo bekhonza phakathi kwalo; bangahlabela abantu iminikelo leminikelo yokutshiswa njalo bame phambi kwabantu babasebenzele.
12 Naye kubanga baabaweerereza mu maaso ga bakatonda abalala, ne baleetera ennyumba ya Isirayiri okugwa mu kibi, kyendiva mbalayirira okubabonereza olw’ekibi kyabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi babasebenzela phambi kwezithombe zabo benza indlu ka-Israyeli yawela esonweni, ngakho sengifunge ngesandla siphakanyisiwe ukuthi kumele bathwale umvuzo wesono sabo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
13 Tebalinsemberera kumpeereza nga bakabona newaakubadde okusemberera ekintu kyonna ku bintu byange ebitukuvu, oba ebiweebwayo byange ebitukuvu ennyo; kubanga baakola ebiswaza n’eby’ekivve.
Akumelanga basondele eduze ukuba bangikhonze njengabaphristi loba basondele eduze kwaloba yiphi yezinto zami ezingcwele loba iminikelo yami engcwele kakhulu; kumele bathwale ihlazo lezenzo zabo ezinengayo.
14 Naye ndibalonda okuvunaanyizibwa emirimu gya yeekaalu, n’eby’okukola byonna ebiteekwa okukolebwa mu yo.
Ikanti ngizabenza baphathe imisebenzi yasethempelini kanye lemisebenzi yonke okumele yenziwe phakathi kwalo.
15 “‘Naye bakabona Abaleevi ne bazzukulu ba Zadooki, abavunaanyizibwa emirimu mu watukuvu wange n’obwesigwa, ng’abaana ba Isirayiri banjeemedde, balisembera okumpi nange ne bampeereza, era be baliyimirira mu maaso gange okuwangayo gye ndi amasavu n’omusaayi, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Kodwa abaphristi, abangabaLevi njalo beyinzalo kaZadokhi abasebenza ngokuthembeka imisebenzi yasendlini yami engcwele lapho ama-Israyeli ayengihlamukele, kumele basondele eduze ukuba bakhonze phambi kwami; kumele bame phambi kwami ukuba banikele umhlatshelo wamafutha legazi, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
16 Abo bokka be banaayingiranga mu watukuvu wange, era be banaasemberanga okumpi n’emmeeza yange okumpeerezanga, n’okukuumanga ebyo bye mbalagira.
Bona kuphela kumele bangene endlini yami engcwele; bona kuphela kumele basondele phansi kwetafula lami ukuba bakhonze phambi kwami benze umsebenzi wami.
17 “‘Bwe banaayingiranga mu miryango egy’oluggya olw’omunda banaayambalanga ebyambalo ebya linena; tebateekwa kwambalanga byambalo bya byoya by’endiga, nga baweerereza mu miryango egy’oluggya olw’omunda ne munda wa yeekaalu.
Lapho bengena emasangweni eguma langaphakathi kumele bagqoke izigqoko zelineni; akumelanga bagqoke isigqoko sewulu lapho bekhonza emasangweni eguma kumbe phakathi kwethempeli.
18 Baneesibanga ebitambala ku mutwe nga bya linena, n’engoye ez’omunda nga za linena. Tebateekwa kwambalanga kintu n’ekimu ekibatuuyanya.
Kumele bagqoke amaqhiye elineni emakhanda abo lezigqoko zangaphansi zelineni ezinkalweni zabo. Akumelanga bagqoke into ezabaginqisa.
19 Bwe banaabanga bafuluma nga balaga mu luggya olw’ebweru eri abantu, banaayambulangamu ebyambalo byabwe bye baweererezaamu, ne babitereka mu bisenge ebyatukuzibwa, ne bambala engoye endala balemenga okutukuza abantu n’ebyambalo byabwe.
Lapho besiya phandle egumeni langaphandle lapho okulabantu khona, kumele bakhuphe izigqoko ababekhonza bezigqokile njalo kumele bazitshiye ezindlini ezingcwele, bagqoke ezinye izigqoko, ukuze bangangcwelisi abantu ngezembatho zabo.
20 “‘Tebateekwa kumwa mitwe gyabwe newaakubadde okuleka enviiri zaabwe okukula ennyo, naye banaazisalangako ne zisigala nga nto.
Akumelanga baphuce amakhanda abo kumbe bayekele inwele zabo zikhula zisiba zinde; kodwa kumele bagcine inwele zabo zigundiwe.
21 Tewabanga kabona n’omu anywa nvinnyo ng’ayingidde mu luggya olw’omunda.
Akulamphristi ozanatha iwayini lapho engena iguma langaphakathi.
22 Tebateekeddwa kuwasa bannamwandu newaakubadde eyanoba, naye banaawasanga abawala embeerera nga ba lulyo lwa Isirayiri oba nga bannamwandu ba bakabona.
Akumelanga bathathe abafelokazi loba abesifazane abehlukana labomkabo; kumele bathathe izintombi ezimsulwa kuphela ezenzalo yako-Israyeli loba abafelokazi babaphristi.
23 Banaayigirizanga abantu bange enjawulo wakati w’ekitukuvu n’ekitali kitukuvu, era nga babalaga enjawulo wakati w’ekirongoofu n’ekitali kirongoofu.
Kumele bafundise abantu bami umahluko phakathi kokungcwele lokwabantu bonke babatshengise indlela yokwehlukanisa phakathi kokungcolileyo lokuhlanzekileyo.
24 “‘Bwe wanaabangawo enkaayana, bakabona be banaabanga abalamuzi, okusalawo ng’ebiragiro byange bwe biri. Banaakumanga amateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange ku mbaga zange zonna ezaalagirwa, era banaakumanga Ssabbiiti zange nga ntukuvu.
Lapho kulombango abaphristi bazasebenza njengabahluleli baqume mayelana lezimiso zami. Kumele bagcine imithetho yami lezimemezelo zami kuyo yonke imikhosi yami emisiweyo, njalo kumele bagcine amaSabatha ami engcwele.
25 “‘Kabona taasembererenga mulambo aleme okweyonoonyesa, naye kitaawe bw’anaabanga y’afudde, oba nnyina, oba mutabani we oba muwala we, oba muganda we, oba mwannyina atafumbirwangako, kale aneeyonoonesanga.
Umphristi akumelanga azingcolise ngokuya phansi komuntu ofileyo; kodwa-ke nxa umuntu ofileyo ubenguyise loba unina, indodana yakhe kumbe indodakazi, umfowabo kumbe udadewabo ongendanga, lapho angazingcolisa.
26 Oluvannyuma olw’okwetukuza, anaalindanga ennaku musanvu ziyite.
Emva kokuba esehlanjululiwe, uzakuma insuku eziyisikhombisa.
27 Awo ku lunaku lw’anaalaganga mu luggya olw’omunda olwa watukuvu okuweereza mu watukuvu, aneweerangayo ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Ngosuku azakuya ngalo egumeni langaphakathi lendlu engcwele ukuba enze inkonzo endlini engcwele, kumele azinikelele umnikelo wesono, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
28 “‘Nze nnaabanga omugabo gwa bakabona. Temuubawenga mugabo na gumu mu Isirayiri; nze mugabo gwabwe.
Mina ngizakuba yilona lifa kuphela abaphristi abalalo. Akukho lifa ozabapha lona ko-Israyeli; mina ngizakuba yilifa labo.
29 Banaalyanga ebiweebwayo eby’obutta, n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ebiweebwayo olw’omusango, ne buli kintu mu Isirayiri ekiwonge eri Mukama kinaabanga kyabwe.
Bazakudla iminikelo yamabele, iminikelo yesono leminikelo yecala; kanye lakho konke okuko-Israyeli okwahlukaniselwe uThixo kuzakuba ngokwabo.
30 Ebisinga obulungi ku bibala byonna ebisooka ebya buli kika n’ebirabo byonna eby’omuwendo binaabanga bya bakabona. Munaabawanga obutta bwammwe obwasooka okugoyebwa, omukisa gubeerenga ku nnyumba zammwe.
Okuhle kakhulu kwazo zonke izithelo zakho zakuqala lokwezipho zenu ezikhethiweyo kuzakuba ngokwabaphristi. Kumele libaphe ingxenye yakuqala yempuphu yenu echoliweyo ukuze isibusiso sihlale endlini yenu.
31 Bakabona tebaalyenga kintu na kimu, oba nnyonyi oba nsolo, ebisangiddwa nga bifu olumbe lwabyo nga byataagulwa nsolo.
Abaphristi akumelanga badle loba yini, inyoni kumbe inyamazana, etholakale ifile kumbe idlithizwe yizinyamazana zeganga.’”
