Abaebbulaniya 12
1 Kale nga bwe tulina ekibiina ekinene eky’abajulirwa ekyenkana awo, twambulengamu buli ekizitowa, awamu n’ekibi ekitwesibako amangu, tuddukenga n’okugumiikiriza embiro ez’empaka ezatutegekerwa,
Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 nga tutunuulira Yesu eyatandika okukkiriza era y’akutuukiriza, olw’essanyu lye yali alindirira bwe yagumiikiriza omusaalaba, ng’anyooma ensonyi, n’atuula ku luuyi olwa ddyo olw’entebe ya Katonda.
looking to Yeshua, the founder and completer of the faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Kale mulowooze oyo eyagumiikiriza okuwakanyizibwa okw’abakozi b’ebibi bwe kutyo, mulemenga okukoowa mu mmeeme zammwe nga mutendewererwa ne mu mutima.
For consider him who has endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you may not become tired and give up.
4 Temunnalwanagana na kibi okutuusa ne kukuyiwa omusaayi!
You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your struggle against sin;
5 Mwerabidde ebigambo ebizzaamu amaanyi byayogera nammwe ng’abaana be? Agamba nti, “Mwana wange, tonyoomanga kukangavvulwa kwa Mukama, so toggwangamu maanyi ng’akunenyezza.
and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose heart when you are corrected by him.
6 Kubanga Mukama gw’ayagala amukangavvula, Era abonereza buli gw’ayita omwana we.”
For whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and punishes every son he accepts."
7 Noolwekyo mugumiikirize okukangavvulwa, kubanga Katonda abakangavvula ng’abaana be. Mwana ki kitaawe gw’atakangavvula?
If you are enduring discipline, God is dealing with you as children. For what child is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 Naye singa temukangavvulwa, nga bwe kitugwanira ffenna, muba temuli baana be ddala.
But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
9 Kale, nga bwe mussaamu ekitiibwa bakitaffe ab’omubiri, newaakubadde nga batukangavvula, nga batuyigiriza, kitaawe w’emyoyo talisinga nnyo okutukangavvula ne tuba abalamu?
Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Bakitaffe ab’omubiri baatugunjulira ennaku si nnyingi, naye ye atugunjula tugasibwe tulyoke tusobole okugabanira awamu naye mu butukuvu bwe.
For they indeed, for a few days, disciplined us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11 Okukangavvulwa kwonna mu biro ebya kaakano tekufaanana nga kwa ssanyu, kuba kwa bulumi, naye oluvannyuma kuleeta ebibala eby’emirembe eri abo abayigirizibwa, era ekivaamu bwe butuukirivu.
All discipline seems for the moment painful, not joyful; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
12 Bwe mutyo munyweze emikono gyammwe egikooye n’amaviivi gammwe agajugumira,
Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
13 era ebigere byammwe mubikolere ekkubo eggolokofu, abo ababagoberera newaakubadde nga balema era banafu, baleme okuva mu kkubo eryo, wabula bawonyezebwe.
and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 Mufubenga okuba n’emirembe n’abantu bonna, era mufubenga okuba abatukuvu, kubanga atali mutukuvu taliraba Mukama.
Pursue peace with everyone, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord,
15 Buli muntu afe ku munne waleme kubeerawo n’omu ava mu kisa kya Katonda, era mwekuume ensigo ey’obukyayi ereme okuloka mu mmwe, bangi ne bagwagwawala.
looking carefully lest there be anyone who falls short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by it many become defiled;
16 Era mwegendereze waleme okubaawo omwenzi mu mmwe wadde atatya Katonda nga Esawu eyatunda ebyobusika bwe olw’olulya olumu.
that there be no sexually immoral or profane person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for one meal.
17 Oluvannyuma ne bwe yagezaako okusikira omukisa ogwo, teyasiimibwa, era teyafuna mukisa kwenenya newaakubadde nga yagunoonya n’amaziga mangi.
For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
18 Temuzze ku lusozi olulabika olwaka omuliro, n’okukankana n’ekizikiza ekikutte, ne kibuyaga,
For you have not come to something that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and darkness, gloom, and storm,
19 n’eri eddoboozi ly’akagombe n’eri eddoboozi ery’ebigambo n’abo abaaliwulira ne batayinza na kweyongera kuligumira.
the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
20 Kubanga tebaayinza kugumira ekyo ekyalagirwa Katonda nti, “Ne bw’eba ensolo, bw’ekomanga ku lusozi ekubwanga amayinja n’efa.”
for they could not stand that which was commanded, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned;"
21 Ne Musa n’atya nnyo olw’ekyo kye yalaba n’ayogera nti, “Ntidde nnyo era nkankana.”
and so fearful was the appearance, that Mushe said, "I am terrified and trembling."
22 Naye muzze ku lusozi Sayuuni, ne mu kibuga kya Katonda omulamu, mu Yerusaalemi eky’omu ggulu n’eri enkumi n’enkumi ez’abamalayika abakuŋŋaanye,
But you have come to Mount Tsehyun, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Urishlim, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
23 n’eri ekkanisa ey’abo abaasooka, amannya gaabwe agaawandiikibwa mu ggulu, n’eri Katonda Omulamuzi wa bonna, n’eri emyoyo egy’abantu abaatukirizibwa,
to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect,
24 n’eri endagaano empya eya Yesu omutabaganya, ey’omusaayi ogwamansirwa ogwogera obulungi okusinga ogwa Aberi.
to Yeshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Habeil.
25 Kale mugonderenga oyo ayogera nammwe. Obanga Abayisirayiri tebaayinza kulokoka, bwe baagaana okuwulira oyo eyabalabula ng’ali ku nsi, tetuliyisibwa bubi nnyo n’okusingawo, bwe tulijeemera ekigambo ky’oyo ow’omu ggulu atulabula?
See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
26 Yakankanya ensi n’eddoboozi lye kyokka n’asuubiza nti, “Omulundi omulala sirinyeenya nsi yokka, naye era n’eggulu.”
whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens."
27 Kino kitegeeza nti agenda kumalawo nate ebyo ebinyenyezebwa, kyokka ebitanyenyezebwa bisigalewo.
This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
28 Kale, nga bwe twaweebwa obwakabaka obutanyeenyezebwa, tusinze Katonda nga bw’asiima nga tumussaamu ekitiibwa era nga tumutya.
So since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, through which we may offer service pleasing to God, with reverence and awe,
29 Kubanga ddala, “Katonda waffe, gwe muliro ogwokya.”
for our God is a consuming fire.
