Koseya 3

1 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Genda, mukyala wo oyongere okumwagala, newaakubadde nga mwenzi era yakwaniddwa omusajja omulala. Mwagale nga Mukama bw’ayagala Abayisirayiri newaakubadde nga bakyukira bakatonda abalala ne baagala obugaati obw’emizabbibu enkalu obuwonge eri bakatonda abalala.”

UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Hamba, utshengisele uthando lwakho kumkakho futhi, lanxa nje ethandwa ngomunye njalo eyisifebekazi. Mthande njengoThixo ethanda abako-Israyeli, lanxa baphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu njalo bethanda amakhekhe ezithelo ezonyisiweyo.”

2 Awo ne mmugula n’effeeza obuzito bwayo gulaamu kikumi mu nsavu ne lita ebikumi bisatu mu amakumi asatu eza sayiri.

Ngakho ngamthenga ngamashekeli esiliva alitshumi lanhlanu langokwakuphosa kube lihomeri leletheki lebhali.

3 Bwe ntyo ne mugamba nti, “Oteekwa okubeera nange ebbanga lyonna. Lekeraawo okukuba obwamalaaya, oba okukola obwenzi, nange bwe ntyo naabeeranga naawe.”

Ngasengisithi kuye, “Uzahlala lami insuku ezinengi; akumelanga ube yisifebe loba wembathe lenye indoda, lami ngizahlala lawe.”

4 Era bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri bwe balibeera okumala ennaku ennyingi nga tebalina kabaka newaakubadde omulangira, nga tebakyawaayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda abalala, newaakubadde okusinza amayinja amawonge oba bakatonda abalala, wadde efodi.

Ngoba abako-Israyeli bazahlala insuku ezinengi bengelankosi kumbe inkosana, bengelamhlatshelo kumbe amatshe angcwele, bengelasembatho semahlombe kumbe isithombe.

5 N’oluvannyuma abaana ba Isirayiri balidda ne banoonya Mukama Katonda waabwe ne Dawudi kabaka waabwe. Balijja eri Mukama nga bakankana nga banoonya emikisa gye mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma.

Muva abako-Israyeli bazaphenduka bamdinge uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo kanye loDavida inkosi yabo. Bazakuza kuThixo beqhaqhazela kanye lasezibusisweni zakhe ensukwini zokucina.
