Koseya 13
1 Efulayimu buli lwe yayogeranga, abantu baakankananga. Yagulumizibwanga mu Isirayiri. Naye bwe yayonoona olw’okusinza Baali, n’afa.
Lapho uEfrayimi ekhuluma kwakulokuqhuqha, waziphakamisa koIsrayeli; kodwa waba lecala ngoBhali, wafa.
2 Ne kaakano bongera okwonoona; ne beekolera ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse mu ffeeza yaabwe, ng’okutegeera kwabwe bwe kuli, nga byonna mulimu gw’abaweesi. Kigambibwa nti, “Bawaayo ssaddaaka ez’abantu, ne banywegera ebifaananyi eby’ennyana.”
Khathesi-ke baqhubeka besona, bazenzela izithombe ezibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa zesiliva sabo, izithombe njengokuqedisisa kwabo, zonke zingumsebenzi wezingcitshi; abathi ngazo: Abantu abanikela imihlatshelo bazakwanga amathole.
3 Kyebaliva babeera ng’olufu olw’oku makya, oba ng’omusulo oguvaawo amangu, ng’ebisusunku embuyaga ze bifumuula okubiggya mu gguuliro, oba ng’omukka ogufulumira mu ddirisa.
Ngakho bazakuba njengeyezi lekuseni, lanjengamazolo ovivi ahambayo; njengomule ophetshulwa yisivunguzane ebaleni lokubhulela, njengentuthu ephuma etshiminini.
4 “Nze Mukama Katonda wo eyakuggya mu nsi ya Misiri; so tolimanya Katonda mulala wabula nze, so tewali mulokozi wabula nze.
Kube kanti mina ngiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, kusukela elizweni leGibhithe; ngakho kawuyikwazi unkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, ngoba kakho umsindisi ngaphandle kwami.
5 Nakulabirira mu ddungu, mu nsi ey’ekyeya ekingi.
Mina ngakwazi enkangala, elizweni elomileyo kakhulu.
6 Bwe nabaliisa, bakkuta; bwe bakkuta ne beegulumiza, bwe batyo ne banneerabira.
Njengokwedlelo labo, ngokunjalo basutha; basutha, lenhliziyo yabo yaphakama; ngenxa yalokho bangikhohlwa.
7 Kyendiva mbalumba ng’empologoma, era ndibateegera ku kkubo ng’engo.
Ngakho ngizakuba kubo njengesilwane, njengengwe endleleni ngizabacathamela.
8 Ng’eddubu erinyagiddwako abaana baalyo, ndibalumba ne mbataagulataagula. Era okufaananako ng’empologoma bw’ekola ndibaliira eyo, ensolo ey’omu nsiko eribataagulataagula.
Ngizabahlangabeza njengebhere elithathelwe imidlwane, ngidabule isisibekelo senhliziyo yabo, ngibadlele lapho njengesilwane; isilo seganga sizabadabudabula.
9 Ndibazikiriza mmwe Isirayiri, kubanga munnwanyisa.
Kukuchithile, Israyeli, kodwa kimi kulosizo lwakho.
10 Kabaka wammwe ali wa, abalokole? Abafuzi ab’omu bibuga byo byonna bali ludda wa, be wayogerako nti, ‘Tuwe kabaka n’abafuzi?’
Pho, ingaphi inkosi yakho, ukuthi ikusindise emizini yakho yonke? Labehluleli bakho owathi ngabo: Nginike inkosi leziphathamandla?
11 Nabawa kabaka nga nsunguwadde, ate ne mmubaggyako nga ndiko ekiruyi.
Ngakunika inkosi ekuthukutheleni kwami, ngayisusa ngolaka lwami.
12 Omusango gwa Efulayimu guterekeddwa, era n’ekibi kye kimanyiddwa.
Ububi bukaEfrayimi bubotshiwe, isono sakhe sibekiwe.
13 Obubalagaze ng’obw’omukyala alumwa okuzaala bumujjira, naye omwana olw’obutaba n’amagezi, ekiseera bwe kituuka, tavaayo mu lubuto.
Insizi zowesifazana ohelelwayo zizamfikela; uyindodana engahlakaniphanga, ngoba ingehlale isikhathi emlonyeni wesizalo sabantwana.
14 “Ndibanunulayo mu maanyi g’emagombe, era ndibalokola mu kufa. Ggwe kufa, endwadde zo ziri ludda wa? Ggwe Magombe, okuzikiriza kwo kuli ludda wa? “Sirimusaasira, (Sheol h7585)
Ngizabenzela inhlawulo yokuthula emandleni engcwaba, ngibahlenge ekufeni. Kufa, bangaphi omatshayabhuqe bezifo zakho? Ngcwaba, ingaphi incithakalo yakho? Uphenduko luzasitheliswa emehlweni ami. (Sheol h7585)
15 ne bw’anaakulaakulana mu baganda be. Empewo ey’ebuvanjuba erijja okuva eri Mukama, ng’eva mu ddungu, n’ensulo ze ne zikalira, n’oluzzi lwe ne lukalira. Eggwanika lye lirinyagibwa, eby’omuwendo byonna ne bitwalibwa.
Loba yena engaveza izithelo phakathi kwabafowabo, kuzafika umoya wempumalanga, umoya weNkosi, usenyuka enkangala, lomthombo wakhe uzakutsha, kome lesiphethu sakhe; wona uzaphanga okuligugu kwazo zonke izitsha eziloyisekayo.
16 Abantu b’e Samaliya balivunaanibwa omusango gwabwe kubanga bajeemedde Katonda waabwe. Balittibwa n’ekitala, n’abaana baabwe abato balibetentebwa, n’abakyala baabwe abali embuto balibaagibwa.”
ISamariya izakuba lunxiwa, ngoba ihlamukele uNkulunkulu wayo; bazakuwa ngenkemba, labantwana babo bachotshozwe, labesifazana babo abakhulelweyo baqhaqhwe.
