Yobu 36
1 Eriku ne yeeyongera okwogera nti,
U-Elihu waqhubeka esithi:
2 “Yongera okuŋŋumiikirizaako katono nkulage, nkyalina bye nnina okwogera ebifa ku Katonda.
“Ake lingibekezelele okwesikhatshana ukuze ngilitshengise ukuthi kunengi okumele kutshiwo ngobuhle bukaNkulunkulu.
3 Amagezi ge nnina gava wala, era mmanyi nga Omutonzi wange alamula mu bwenkanya.
Ngiluzuza kude ulwazi lwami; ngithi ukwahlulela okulungileyo ngokukaMenzi wami.
4 Eky’amazima ebigambo byange si bikyamu, oyo akakasa by’amanyi y’ayogera naawe.
Yiba leqiniso ukuthi amazwi ami aqinisile; yena opheleleyo elwazini ulawe.
5 “Laba, Katonda wa buyinza, tanyooma bantu; w’amaanyi, anywerera ku bigendererwa bye.
UNkulunkulu ulamandla, kodwa keyisi muntu; ulamandla njalo katshedi ezimisweni zakhe.
6 Talamya bakozi ba bibi, era awa ababonyaabonyezebwa ebibasaanira.
Ababi kabayekeli bephila kodwa abahluphekayo uyabapha okubafaneleyo.
7 Taggya maaso ge ku batuukirivu, abatuuza ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka n’abagulumiza emirembe n’emirembe.
Kawasusi amehlo akhe kwabalungileyo; ubakhweza esihlalweni kanye lamakhosi abaphakamise nini lanini.
8 Naye abantu bwe baba basibiddwa enjegere nga banywezeddwa n’emiguwa egy’okulumwa
Kodwa nxa abantu bebotshwe ngamaketane, bethiwe nko ngezibopho zezinhlupheko,
9 n’abategeeza ensobi zaabwe, n’okwonoona kwabwe, nti, beewaggudde,
uyabatshela lokho abakwenzileyo, ukuthi benze isono ngokuziphakamisa.
10 aggula amatu gaabwe bawulirize okunenyezebwa n’abalagira beenenye ekibi kyabwe.
Ubenza balalele ukuqondiswa abalaye ukuthi baphenduke ebubini babo.
11 Bwe bamugondera ne bamuweereza, ennaku zaabwe zonna balizimala mu kwesiima, era n’emyaka gyabwe mu kusanyuka.
Nxa bemlalela bamkhonze, zonke insuku zabo eziseleyo zizaphumelela, leminyaka yabo ibe ngeyokusuthiseka.
12 Naye bwe batamugondera, baalizikirizibwa n’ekitala, bafe nga tebalina magezi.
Kodwa nxa bengalaleli, bazabhubha ngenkemba, bafe bengelalwazi.
13 “Ab’emitima egitatya Katonda baba n’obukyayi. Ne bw’abasiba, tebamukaabirira abasumulule.
Abangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu bagodle ukusola enhliziyweni; loba angaze ababophe kabaceli ukusizwa.
14 Bafiira mu buvubuka bwabwe era obulamu bwabwe buzikiririra mu basajja abenzi.
Bafa besesebatsha, bephakathi kweziphingi ezingamadoda, ezihlala ezindaweni zokukhonzela.
15 Anunula anyigirizibwa mu kubonaabona kwe, n’aggula okutu kwe mu kujoogebwa kwe.
Kodwa labo abahluphekayo uyabakhulula ekuhluphekeni kwabo; ukhuluma labo besezinkathazweni zabo.
16 “Akusendasenda okukuggya mu kamwa k’okubonaabona, akuteeke mu kifo ekigazi ekitaliimu kuziyizibwa, omanye emirembe gy’emeeza yo ejjudde emmere ennungi.
Uyakulimukisa ukuthi uphume emihlathini yosizi uye endaweni ebanzi, ekhululekileyo njalo engelazibopho, ebumnandini betafula yakho igcwele izidlo ezimnandi.
17 Naye kaakano weetisse omugugu ogw’okusalirwa omusango abakozi b’ebibi gwe basaanira; okusalirwa omusango n’obwenkanya byakunyweza.
Kodwa manje usindwa yikwahlulelwa okulungele ababi; ukuthonisiswa lokwahlulelwa ngokulunga yikho osekukuduba.
18 Weegendereze oleme kukkiriza kusendebwasendebwa; obunene bw’enguzi buleme okukukyamya.
Qaphela kungabikhona okulingayo ngenotho; ungavumeli ukuthengwa ngemali kukususe endleleni.
19 Obugagga bwo oba okufuba kwo kwonna binaakuyamba okukuggya mu buyinike?
Kambe inotho yakho loba konke ukutshikatshika kwakho kungakusekela ukuze ungangeni osizini na?
20 Teweegomba budde bwa kiro olyoke owalule abantu okuva mu bifo byabwe.
Ungalangazeleli ubusuku, ukuze uyohudula abantu ezindaweni zabo.
21 Weegendereze oleme kukola bitali bya butuukirivu, by’osinga okwagala okukira okubonyaabonyezebwa.
Qaphela ungangeni kokubi, okukhanya ingathi uyakuthanda kulokuhlupheka.
22 “Laba Katonda yagulumira mu maanyi ge; ani ayigiriza nga ye?
UNkulunkulu uphakeme ngamandla akhe. Ngubani ongafundisa njengaye na?
23 Ani eyali amukubidde amakubo, oba okumugamba nti, ‘Ky’okoze si kituufu?’
Ngubani omisele izindlela zakhe na, loba othe kuye, ‘Usuwenze okungalunganga?’
24 Jjukira ng’oteekwa okugulumizanga emirimu gye, abantu gye bayimba mu nnyimba.
Khumbula ukukhulisa umsebenzi wakhe, abantu abawudumisileyo ngengoma.
25 Abantu bonna baagiraba, omuntu agirengerera wala.
Bonke abantu jikelele bakubonile lokhu; abantu bakukhangela bemi khatshana.
26 Laba, Katonda agulumizibwe! Assukiridde okutegeera kwaffe; obungi bw’emyaka gye tebunoonyezeka.
Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu bungaphezulu kokuzwisisa kwethu! Iminyaka yakhe ingezake yaziwe.
27 “Kubanga akuŋŋaanya amatondo g’amazzi, agafuuka enkuba etonnya mu bugga;
Uyawadonsa amathonsi amanzi, aqulungane abe lizulu elingena ezifuleni;
28 ebire bivaamu amazzi gaabyo, enkuba n’ekuba abantu.
amayezi athulula amanzi awo kune izulu elikhulu ebantwini.
29 Ani ayinza okutegeera engeri gy’asaasaanyamu ebire, okubwatuka okuva ku kituuti kye?
Ngubani ongakuzwisisa ukuthi uwendlala njani amayezi na, ukuthi ukhwaza njani esesiqongweni sakhe na?
30 Laba, asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu, era n’abikka obuziba bw’ennyanja.
Ake libone ukuthi uwuhlakaza njani umbane wakhe azizingelezele ngawo, abhukutshe ezinzikini zolwandle.
31 Eyo y’engeri gy’afugamu amawanga, n’agawa emmere mu bungi.
Yiyo indlela abusa ngayo izizwe aziphe ukudla okunengi.
32 Emikono gye agijjuza eraddu, n’agiragira ekube ebifo bye yeerondeddemu.
Ugcwalisa izandla zakhe ngombane awukhombise lapho omele utshaye khona.
33 Okubwatuka kwayo kulangirira kibuyaga ajja, n’ente ne zirangirira okujja kwayo.”
Ukuduma kwakhe kubika isiphepho esizayo; lenkomo ziyatshengisa ukuza kwaso.”
