1 Bakabona mufuuyire ekkondeere mu Sayuuni. N’akagombe ak’okulabula kavugire ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu. Buli muntu yenna mu ggwanga akankane olw’entiisa, kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama lusembedde, era lunaatera okutuuka.
Vuthelani icilongo eZiyoni; hlabani umkhosi entabeni yami engcwele. Bonke abahlala elizweni kabathuthumele, ngoba usuku lukaThixo luyeza. Selusondele, selufikile,
2 Luliba olunaku olutaliiko ssanyu, olw’ekizikiza; olunaku olw’ebire ebingi n’ekizikiza ekikutte. Eggye ery’enzige ery’amaanyi ennyo, ng’ery’abantu abalwanyi ab’ekitalo, libuutikidde ensozi. Tewabangawo ggye lirifaanana mu biro byonna eby’edda, era teribaayo liryenkana mu mirembe gyonna egiriddawo.
usuku lomnyama lokudana, usuku lwamayezi lobumnyama. Njengokusa kusendlaleka phezu kwezintaba, liyeza ibutho elikhulu elilamandla elingazange libe khona endulo kumbe libe khona eminyakeni ezayo.
3 Enzige ezikulembedde zirya ng’omuliro ogwokya buli wantu, n’ezizivaako emabega nazo zibizikiririze ddala ng’ennimi z’omuliro. Mu maaso gye ziraga ensi erabika bulungi ng’ennimiro ya Adeni, naye gye ziva buli kimu zikiridde; ensi yonna zigirese nga ddungu jjereere.
Phambi kwabo umlilo uyatshisa, ngemva kwabo amalangabi ayavutha. Phambi kwabo ilizwe linjengensimu yase-Edeni ngemva kwabo yinkangala elugwadule, akukho okubaphunyukayo.
4 Zifaanana ng’embalaasi, era zidduka ng’embalaasi ez’entalo.
Bakhangeleka benjengamabhiza; bamatha njengamabhiza empi.
5 Zigenda zibuuka ku nsozi nga zikekera ng’amagaali agasikibwa embalaasi bwe gakekera; ne ziwuuma nga bwe zitulikatulika ng’omuliro ogwokya ebisubi ebikalu; era nga ziri ng’eggye eddene mu lutalo eryetegekedde okulumba omulabe.
Ngomsindo onjengowezinqola zempi, beqa phezu kwezingqongo zezintaba, njengamabibi omlilo etshisa inhlanga, njengebutho elilamandla selilungele impi.
6 Abantu abazirabyeko nga zisembera bali mu bulumi bungi, era bonna beeraliikirivu.
Ekubaboneni nje, izizwe zizwa ubuhlungu; ubuso bonke buyadana.
7 Zirumba n’amaanyi ng’eggye ery’abalwanyi, ne ziwalampa ebisenge ng’abajaasi. Zikumbira mu nnyiriri zaazo nga zitereera bulungi awatali kuwaba n’akamu.
Bahlasela njengamaqhawe; bakhwele imiduli njengamabutho. Bonke bahamba beludwendwe bengaphambuki endleleni yabo.
8 Tezirinnyaganako, buli emu ekumbira mu kkubo lyayo. Ziwaguza mu buli kyakulwanyisa kyonna, ne watabaawo kisobola kuziziyiza.
Kabasunduzani; lowo lalowo uhamba eqonde phambili. Badabula phakathi kwezivikelo kungekho kwehlukana kubo.
9 Zifubutuka ne zigwira ekibuga. Zikiwalampa ne zibuna bbugwe waakyo. Zirinnya amayumba ne ziyingirira mu madirisa ng’ababbi bwe bakola.
Baya ngesiqubu edolobheni; bagijima besekele umduli. Bayakhwela bangene ezindlini; bangena ngamawindi njengamasela.
10 Zikankanya ensi era n’eggulu ne lijugumira. Zibuutikira enjuba n’omwezi, era n’emmunyeenye tezikyayaka.
Umhlaba uyanyikinyeka phambi kwabo; umkhathi uyaqhaqhazela, ilanga lenyanga kube mnyama, lezinkanyezi kazisakhanyisi.
11 Mukama akulembera eggye lye n’eddoboozi eribwatuuka. Eggye lya Mukama ddene nnyo era lya maanyi. Abalirimu abatuukiriza ebiragiro bye ba maanyi. Kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama lukulu era lwa ntiisa nnyo. Ani ayinza okulugumira?
UThixo uyakhwaza phambi kwebutho lakhe; amabutho akhe angeke abalwe, njalo balamandla labo abalalela ukulaya kwakhe. Usuku lukaThixo lukhulu; luyesabeka. Ngubani ongalumela na?
12 Mukama kyava agamba nti, “Mukomeewo gye ndi n’omutima gwammwe gwonna. Mukomeewo n’okusiiba n’okukaaba awamu n’okukungubaga.”
“Lakhathesi,” kutsho uThixo, “phendukelani kimi ngenhliziyo zenu zonke, ngokuzila langokukhala lokulila.”
13 Muyuze emitima gyammwe so si byambalo byammwe. Mudde eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, kubanga ajjudde ekisa n’okusaasira, era tasunguwala mangu; ajjudde okwagala okutaggwaawo; n’abandisaanidde okubonerezebwa abasonyiwa.
Dabulani inhliziyo zenu hatshi izigqoko zenu. Buyelani kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ngoba ulomusa lesihawu, uyaphuza ukuthukuthela, ulothando olukhulu, njalo uyaxola ukuthumela umonakalo.
14 Ani amanyi obanga anaakyuka n’abasonyiwa, n’abawa omukisa gwe ne musobola n’okuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda wammwe ekiweebwayo eky’emmere enkalu, n’ekiweebwayo eky’ekyokunywa?
Ngubani owaziyo? Engxenye angaphenduka abe lesihawu atshiye isibusiso, iminikelo yamabele leminikelo yokunathwayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
15 Mufuuyire ekkondeere mu Sayuuni, mulangirire okusiiba okutukuvu. Muyite olukuŋŋaana olussaamu Katonda ekitiibwa.
Vuthelani icilongo eZiyoni, memezelani ukuzila okungcwele, bizani ibandla elingcwele.
16 Mukuŋŋaanye abantu bonna. Mutukuze ekibiina ekyo ekikuŋŋaanye. Muyite abakulu abakulembeze. Muleete abaana abato n’abo abakyali ku mabeere. N’oyo eyakawasa aveeyo mu kisenge kye, n’eyakafumbirwa naye aveeyo gy’ali.
Buthanisani abantu, ngcwelisani ibandla; hlanganisani abadala, buthanisani abantwana labo abamunyayo. Umyeni katshiye indlu yakhe lomlobokazi atshiye ikamelo lakhe.
17 Bakabona abaweereza ba Mukama bayimirire wakati w’ekisasi kya yeekaalu n’ekyoto, bakaabirire Mukama nga bamusaba nti, “Saasira abantu bo, Ayi Mukama; abantu b’obusika bwo tobaleka kugwa mu mikono gya bannamawanga okubafuga era n’okubasekerera. Bannamawanga baleme kuduula nga boogera nti, ‘Katonda waabwe ali ludda wa?’”
Abaphristi abakhonzayo phambi kukaThixo, kabakhale bephakathi laphakathi kwentuba le-alithari. Kabathi, “Awu Thixo, zwela abantu bakho. Ungenzi ilifa lakho libe yinto yokuhlekwa, isiga phakathi kwezizwe. Kungani phakathi kwezizwe kumele bathi, ‘Ungaphi uNkulunkulu wabo?’”
18 Awo Mukama n’akwatirwa ensi ye ekisa, n’asaasira abantu be.
Lapho-ke uThixo uzakuba lobukhwele ngelizwe lakhe abe lesihawu ebantwini bakhe.
19 N’ayanukula abantu be nti, “Muwulirize, nzija kubaweereza emmere enkalu, n’envinnyo, n’amafuta, ebimala okubakkusiza ddala, era siriddayo kubaleka, ne mufuuka ekivume, bannaggwanga amalala ne babasekerera.
UThixo uzabaphendula athi: “Ngiyalithumela amabele lewayini elitsha lamafutha, okwaneleyo ukulisuthisa ngokugcweleyo; angiyikuphinda futhi ukulenza into yokuhlekisa ezizweni.
20 “Ndibagobako eggye ery’omu bukiikakkono ne ndigobera mu ddungu ery’ewala ennyo. Ekibinja ekikulembeddemu ndikigobera mu nnyanja ey’Ebuvanjuba, n’ekibinja eky’emabega ndikigobera mu nnyanja ey’Ebugwanjuba. Ekivundu n’okuwunya birituuka wala okusinga ebyo byonna bye libakoze.”
Ibutho lasenyakatho ngizalixotshela khatshana lani, ngilifuqele elizweni elomileyo elilugwadule, amaviyo alo aphambili esiya olwandle lwasempumalanga lawo angemuva esiya olwandle lwasentshonalanga. Iphunga lalo elibi lizakuya phezulu, umnuko walo uzaphakama.” Ngempela wenze izinto ezinkulu ezimangalisayo.
21 Mwe abali mu nsi, temutya. Musanyuke era mujaguze; kubanga Mukama abakoledde ebikulu.
Ungesabi, wena lizwe; thaba uthokoze. Impela uThixo wenze izinto ezinkulu.
22 Nammwe ensolo ez’omu nsiko temutya; kubanga omuddo gwonna mu nsiko gusibukidde. Emiti gibaze ebibala byagyo, era emitiini n’emizabbibu nagyo gibaze ebibala bingi.
Lingesabi, lina zinyamazana zeganga, ngoba amadlelo asesiba luhlaza. Izihlahla sezithela izithelo zazo; imikhiwa lemivini kuthela kakhulu.
23 Musanyuke mmwe abaana ba Sayuuni; mujagulize Mukama Katonda wammwe. Kubanga abawadde enkuba esooka mu butuukirivu. Era abawadde enkuba nnyingi esooka n’esembayo mu mwaka ng’obw’edda.
Thabani, lina bantu baseZiyoni, thokozani kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngoba ulinike izulu lekwindla ngokulunga. Ulilethela izulu elinengi kanye lezulu lekwindla lelentwasa, njengakuqala.
24 Amawuuliro gammwe galijjula eŋŋaano, n’amasogolero gammwe galijjula envinnyo n’amafuta n’okubooga ne gabooga.
Iziza zizagcwala amabele; izikhamelo zizaphuphuma iwayini lamafutha.
25 “Ndibaddizaawo byonna enzige bye zaalya mu myaka egyo. Lyali ggye lyange ery’amaanyi lye nabasindikira nga lirimu lusejjera, n’enzige ezisala obusazi, awamu n’ezo ezizikiririza ddala.
“Ngizalihlawula okwaleyo minyaka lokho okwadliwa zintethe, lesikhonyane lobuyane, ezinye izintethe kanye lemitshitshi yezintethe, ibutho lami elikhulu engalithumela kini.
26 Kale, munaabanga n’ebyokulya bingi nga bwe muneetaaganga. Munaatenderezanga erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wammwe abakoledde ebintu ebirungi bwe bityo. Era abantu bange tebakyaddayo kuswazibwa.
Lizakuba lokudla okunengi lize lisuthe, njalo lizadumisa ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, olenzele izimangaliso; abantu bami kabayikuphinda bayangeke futhi.
27 Mulimanya nga ndi wakati mu Isirayiri, era nga Nze, Mukama, Nze Katonda wammwe, so tewali mulala; n’abantu bange tebakyaddayo kuswazibwa.
Ngakho lizakwazi ukuthi ngiko-Israyeli, lokuthi mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, kanye lokuthi kakho omunye; abantu bami kabayikuphinda bayangeke futhi.”
28 “Awo olulituuka oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku bantu bonna. Batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe balitegeeza eby’omu maaso; abakadde baliroota ebirooto, n’abavubuka bammwe balyolesebwa.
“Emva kwalokho, ngizathululela uMoya wami kubo bonke abantu. Amadodana lamadodakazi enu azaphrofitha, izinsizwa zenu zizabona imibono, lamaxhegu enu azaphupha amaphupho.
29 Mu biro ebyo ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku baweereza bange abasajja n’abakazi.
Lasezincekwini zami, ezesilisa lezesifazane, ngizawuthulula uMoya wami ngalezonsuku.
30 Era ndyolesa ebyamagero mu ggulu ne ku nsi: omusaayi n’omuliro n’ekikoomi eky’omukka.
Ngizabonakalisa izimangaliso emazulwini lasemhlabeni, igazi lomlilo lezikhatha zentuthu.
31 Enjuba erifuuka ekizikiza, n’omwezi gulimyuka ng’omusaayi, olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu era olw’entiisa nga terunnatuuka.
Ilanga lizaphendulwa libe yibumnyama lenyanga ibeligazi phambi kokuba kufike usuku olukhulu lukaThixo, olwesabekayo.
32 Awo olulituuka buli alikoowoola erinnya lya Mukama okusaasirwa alirokoka. Kubanga mu lusozi Sayuuni ne mu Yerusaalemi walibaawo abaliwona nga Mukama bw’ayogedde, ne mu abo abalifikkawo mulibaamu abo Mukama b’aliyita.”
Njalo wonke obiza ibizo likaThixo uzasindiswa; ngoba eNtabeni iZiyoni laseJerusalema kuzakuba lokukhululwa, njengoba uThixo etshilo, iloba phakathi kwabasindileyo labo ababizwa nguThixo.”
