Yobu 8
1 Awo Birudaadi Omusukusi n’addamu n’agamba nti,
Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
2 “Onookoma ddi okwogera ebintu bino? Era ebigambo bino by’oyogera n’akamwa ko binaakoma ddi okuba ng’empewo ey’amaanyi?
Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
3 Katonda akyusakyusa mu nsala ye? Oba oyo Ayinzabyonna akyusakyusa amazima?
UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
4 Abaana bo bwe baayonoona eri Mukama, n’abawaayo eri empeera y’ekibi kyabwe.
Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
5 Kyokka bw’onoonoonya Katonda, ne weegayirira oyo Ayinzabyonna,
uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
6 bw’onooba omulongoofu era ow’amazima, ddala ddala anaakuddiramu n’akuzzaayo mu kifo kyo ekituufu.
uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
7 Wadde ng’entandikwa yo yali ntono, embeera yo ey’enkomerero ejja kuba nnungi ddala.
Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
8 Buuza ku mirembe egy’edda, era onoonyereze ku bakitaabwe bye baayiga;
Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
9 kubanga ffe twazaalibwa jjuuzi era tetulina kye tumanyi, era ne nnaku ze twakamala ku nsi ziri ng’ekisiikirize.
Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
10 Tebaakulage bakumanyise era bakutegeeze ebigambo bye mitima gyabwe oba by’okutegeera kwabwe?
Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
11 Ebitoogo biyinza okumera awatali bitosi?
Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
12 Biba bikyakula nga tebinnasalibwa, bikala mangu okusinga omuddo.
Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
13 Bw’etyo enkomerero bw’ebeera ey’abo bonna abeerabira Katonda, essuubi ly’abatatya Katonda bwe libula.
Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
14 Ebyo bye yeesiga byatika mangu, ebyo bye yeesiga, nnyumba ya nnabbubi!
Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
15 Yeesigama wuzi za nnabbubi ne zikutuka azeekwatako nnyo naye ne zitanywera.
Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
16 Ali ng’ekimera ekifukirire obulungi ekiri mu musana, nga kyanjadde amatabi gaakyo mu nnimiro;
Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
17 emirandira gyakyo nga gyezingiridde, okwetooloola entuumu y’amayinja, nga ginoonya ekifo mu mayinja.
Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
18 Naye bwe bakiggya mu kifo kyakyo, ekifo ekyo kikyegaana ne kigamba nti, Sikulabangako.
Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
19 Mazima ddala essanyu lyakyo liggwaawo, ebirime ebirala ne bikula okuva mu ttaka.
Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
20 Mazima ddala Katonda talekerera muntu ataliiko musango, era tanyweza mukono gw’abakola ebibi.
Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
21 Ajja kuddamu ajjuze akamwa ko enseko, n’emimwa gyo amaloboozi ag’essanyu.
Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
22 Abalabe bo balijjula obuswavu, era n’ennyumba z’abakozi b’ebibi zirimalibwawo.”
Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
