1 “Yimba ggwe omugumba atazaalanga; tandika okuyimbira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka osanyukire ddala ggwe atalumwanga kuzaala. Kubanga ggwe eyalekebwa ojja kuba n’abaana bangi okusinga oyo akyalina bba,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Hlabelela, nyumba, wena ongazalanga; qhamuka ngokuhlabelela, umemeze, wena ongazange uhelelwe! Ngoba banengi abantwana botshiyiweyo kulabantwana bowendileyo, itsho iNkosi.
2 “Gaziya weema yo, owanvuye emiguwa gyayo, tokwata mpola; nyweza enkondo zo.
Qhelisa indawo yethente lakho, kabatshombulule amakhetheni endawo yakho yokuhlala; ungagodli, yelula izintambo zakho, uqinise izikhonkwane zakho.
3 Kubanga olisaasaanira ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo era n’ogwa kkono, n’ezzadde lyo lirirya amawanga, era abantu bo balituula mu bibuga ebyalekebwa awo ebyereere.
Ngoba uzaqhamuka ngakwesokudla langakwesokunene, lenzalo yakho izafuya abezizwe, yenze imizi echithekileyo ihlalwe.
4 “Totya kubanga toliddayo kukwatibwa nsonyi. Toggwaamu maanyi kubanga togenda kuswazibwa. Olyerabira ensonyi z’obuvubuka bwo, n’ekivume ky’obwannamwandu bwo tolikijjukira nate.
Ungesabi, ngoba kawuyikuyangeka; njalo ungabi lenhloni, ngoba kawuyikuyangiswa; ngoba uzakhohlwa ihlazo lobutsha bakho, ungabe usakhumbula ukuyangeka kobufelokazi bakho.
5 Kubanga Omutonzi wo ye balo, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye lye linnya lye. Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri ye Mununuzi wo, Katonda ow’ensi yonna, bw’ayitibwa.
Ngoba uMenzi wakho ungumyeni wakho, iNkosi yamabandla libizo lakhe; loMhlengi wakho ungoNgcwele kaIsrayeli, uzabizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu womhlaba wonke.
6 Kubanga Mukama Katonda yakuyita okomewo, ng’omukazi eyali alekeddwawo ng’alina ennaku ku mutima; omukazi eyafumbirwa ng’akyali muto, n’alekebwawo,” bw’ayogera Katonda wo.
Ngoba iNkosi ikubizile njengomfazi olahliweyo lodabukileyo emoyeni, lomfazi wobutsha, lapho waliwe, kutsho uNkulunkulu wakho.
7 “Nakulekako akaseera katono nnyo; naye ndikukuŋŋaanya n’okusaasira okungi.
Okomzuzwana omncinyane ngakutshiya, kodwa ngezihawu ezinkulu ngizakubutha.
8 Obusungu obubuubuuka bwe bwankwata nakweka amaaso gange okumala ekiseera, naye ndikukwatirwa ekisa n’okwagala okutaliggwaawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, Omununuzi wo.
Ngolaka oluncinyane ngakufihlela ubuso bami okomzuzwana, kodwa ngothandolomusa waphakade ngizakuhawukela, itsho iNkosi, uMhlengi wakho.
9 “Kubanga gye ndi, bino biri nga bwe byali mu biseera bya Nuuwa. Nga bwe nalayira nti amazzi ga Nuuwa tegagenda kuddamu kulabikako ku nsi, bwe ntyo ndayira nti siriddayo kukusunguwalira wadde okukunenya.
Ngoba lokhu kunjengamanzi kaNowa kimi, lapho ngafunga ukuthi amanzi kaNowa kawaseyikwedlula emhlabeni; ngokunjalo ngifungile ukuthi kangiyikukuthukuthelela, ngikusole.
10 Kubanga ensozi ziyinza okuvaawo n’obusozi okuggyibwawo naye okwagala kwange okutaggwaawo tekulisagaasagana so n’endagaano yange ey’emirembe teriggyibwawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda akusaasira.
Ngoba izintaba zizasuka, lamaqaqa azamazame, kodwa umusa wami kawuyikusuka kuwe, lesivumelwano sami sokuthula kasiyikuzamazama, itsho iNkosi elesihawu kuwe.
11 Mukama agamba nti, “Ggwe Yerusaalemi ekibuga ekibonyaabonyezebwa, ekisuukundibwa emiyaga awatali kulaba ku mirembe; laba ndikuzimba buto n’amayinja ag’amabala amalungi, emisingi gyo ne gizimbibwa ne safiro.
Wena ohluphekileyo, ophoswe yisiphepho, ongaduduzwanga, khangela, ngizabeka amatshe akho abe mahle, ngibeke isisekelo sakho ngamasafire.
12 Ebitikkiro byo ndibikola n’amayinja amatwakaavu, n’emiryango gyo ne ngikola ne kabunkulo, ne bbugwe yenna ne mwetoolooza amayinja ag’omuwendo.
Ngizakwenza imiphotshongo yakho nge-agate, lamasango akho ngama-emeraldi, lawo wonke umngcele wakho ngamatshe entokozo.
13 N’abaana bo bonna baliyigirizibwa Mukama; n’emirembe gy’abaana bo giriba mingi.
Labantwana bakho bonke bazafundiswa yiNkosi, njalo kube kukhulu ukuthula kwabantwana bakho.
14 Olinywezebwa mu butuukirivu era toojoogebwenga, kubanga tolitya, onoobanga wala n’entiisa kubanga terikusemberera.
Uzaqiniswa ekulungeni; ube khatshana locindezelo, ngoba kawuyikwesaba; levalweni, ngoba kakuyikusondela kuwe.
15 Omuntu yenna bwakulumbanga kiriba tekivudde gye ndi. Buli anaakulumbanga anaawangulwanga ku lulwo.
Khangela bazabuthana sibili, kodwa hatshi ngami; loba ngubani ozabuthana emelene lawe uzakuwa ngenxa yakho.
16 Laba nze natonda omuweesi, awujja amanda agaliko omuliro n’aweesa ekyokulwanyisa olw’omugaso gwakyo. Era nze natonda abazikiriza abakozesa ekyokulwanyisa okumalawo obulamu.
Khangela mina ngidale umkhandi wensimbi ovuthela amalahle emlilweni, lovezela umsebenzi wakhe isikhali; njalo mina ngidale umchithi ukuthi achithe.
17 Naye teri kyakulwanyisa kye baliweesa ekirikwolekera ne kikusobola, era oliwangula buli lulimi olulikuvunaana era oluwoza naawe. Guno gwe mugabo gw’abaddu ba Mukama, n’obutuukirivu bwabwe obuva gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Kakulasikhali esibunjelwe ukumelana lawe esizaphumelela; lalo lonke ulimi olukuvukelayo ekwehluleleni uzalulahla. Lokhu kuyilifa lezinceku zeNkosi, lokulunga kwazo kuvela kimi, itsho iNkosi.
