Okukungubaga 1
1 Ekibuga ekyajjulanga abantu nga kyabuliddwa! Ekyabanga eky’amaanyi mu mawanga, nga kifuuse nga nnamwandu! Eyali kabaka omukazi ng’alina amasaza, afuuse omuddu omukazi.
Yeka ukuhlala kodwa komuzi owawugcwele abantu! Usunjengomfelokazi owawumkhulu phakathi kwezizwe, owawuyinkosikazi phakathi kwezabelo usuyisibhalwa!
2 Ekiro akaaba nnyo nnyini, n’amaziga ne gakulukuta ku matama ge. Mu baganzi be bonna, talina n’omu amubeesabeesa. Mikwano gye bonna bamuliddemu olukwe, bafuuse balabe be.
Uyakhala lokukhala inyembezi ebusuku, lezinyembezi zawo zisezihlathini zawo. Kawulamduduzi phakathi kwazo zonke izithandwa zawo. Bonke abangane bawo bawuphethe ngenkohliso, sebeyizitha zawo.
3 Yuda agenze mu buwaŋŋanguse oluvannyuma lw’okubonaabona n’okukozesebwa n’obukambwe ng’omuddu. Kati abeera mu bannamawanga, talaba kifo kya kuwummuliramu. Bonna abamunoonya bamusanga mu nnaku ye.
UJuda useye ekuthunjweni ngenxa yokuhlupheka langenxa yobukhulu bobugqili; yena uhlala phakathi kwabezizwe, katholi ukuphumula; bonke abamzingelayo bamfica ephakathi kwezimbandezelo.
4 Enguudo za Sayuuni zikungubaga, kubanga tewali n’omu ajja ku mbaga zaakyo ezaalagibwa. Emiryango gye gyonna girekeddwa awo, bakabona be, basinda; bawala be abaweereza bali mu buyinike, naye yennyini ali mu nnaku.
Indlela zeZiyoni ziyalila, ngoba kungekho ozayo emkhosini omisiweyo; wonke amasango ayo angamanxiwa; abapristi bayo bayabubula, izintombi zayo ezimsulwa zidabukile, layo isekubabeni.
5 Abamuyigganya bafuuse bakama be; abalabe be beeyagala, kubanga Mukama amuleeseeko ennaku, olw’ebibi bye ebingi. Abaana be batwalibbwa mu buwaŋŋanguse, bawambiddwa omulabe.
Abamelani bayo sebeyinhloko, izitha zayo zonwabile; ngoba iNkosi iyidabulile ngenxa yobunengi beziphambeko zayo; abantwana bayo sebeye ekuthunjweni phambi kwesitha.
6 Ekitiibwa kyonna ekyali ku muwala wa Sayuuni kimuweddeko, abalangira be bafuuse ng’ennangaazi ezibuliddwa omuddo; mu bunafu, badduse ababagoba.
Labo bonke ubuhle bayo busukile kundodakazi yeZiyoni. Iziphathamandla zayo zinjengezindluzele ezingatholi idlelo, njalo ziyahamba zingelamandla phambi komzingeli.
7 Mu nnaku ez’okubonaabona kwe ng’asagaasagana, Yerusaalemi ajjukira ebintu eby’omuwendo byonna bye yalinanga mu nnaku ez’edda. Abantu be bwe baagwa mu mikono gy’omulabe, tewaali n’omu amubeera; abalabe be ne bamutunuulira ne bamusekerera olw’okugwa kwe.
Ezinsukwini zenhlupheko yayo lokuzulazula kwayo iJerusalema yakhumbula zonke izinto zayo eziloyisekayo okwakukhona kusukela ezinsukwini zasendulo, lapho abantu bayo bawela esandleni sesitha, njalo ingelamsizi; izitha zayibona, zahleka usulu amasabatha ayo.
8 Yerusaalemi yayonoona nnyo nnyini, bw’atyo n’afuuka atali mulongoofu. Bonna abaamussangamu ekitiibwa bamunyooma, kubanga balabye bw’asigalidde awo; ye yennyini asinda, era akwatibwa ensonyi.
IJerusalema yonile kakhulu, ngakho-ke isingcolile; bonke ababeyihlonipha bayidelela, ngoba sebebonile ubuze bayo; yona isibubula, ibuyele emuva.
9 Obutali bulongoofu bwe bwali mu birenge bye; teyassaayo mwoyo ku bulamu bwe obw’ebiseera ebijja. Okugwa kwe kwali kwa kyewuunyo; tewaali n’omu amubeesabeesa. “Ayi Mukama, tunuulira okubonaabona kwange, kubanga omulabe awangudde.”
Ukungcola kwayo kwakusemiphethweni yezigqoko zayo; kayikhumbulanga ukucina kwayo; ngakho yehla ngokumangalisayo, yayingelamduduzi. Nkosi, bona inhlupheko yami, ngoba isitha sizikhulisile.
10 Omulabe yagololera omukono ku bintu bya Yerusaalemi byonna eby’omuwendo; yalaba amawanga amakaafiiri nga gayingira awatukuvu we, beebo be wali ogaanye okuyingira mu kuŋŋaaniro lyo.
Isitha selule isandla saso phezu kwazo zonke izinto zayo eziloyisekayo; ngoba ibonile izizwe zingena endaweni yayo engcwele, owazilaya ukuthi zingangeni phakathi kwebandla lakho.
11 Abantu be bonna basinda nga bwe banoonya ekyokulya; eby’obugagga byabwe babiwanyisaamu emmere, okusobola okuba abalamu. “Laba, Ayi Mukama Katonda, onziseeko omwoyo kubanga nnyoomebwa.”
Bonke abantu bayo bayabubula, bedinga isinkwa; banike izinto zabo eziloyisekayo ngokudla ukuthi bavuselele umphefumulo. Bona, Nkosi, ukhangele, ngoba ngiyadelelwa.
12 “Mmwe tekibakwatako, mmwe mwenna abayitawo? mwetegereze mulabe obanga waliwo obuyinike obwenkana, obwantukako, Mukama bwe yanteekako ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwe obungi.
Kakusilutho kini yini lonke elidlulayo ngendlela? Khangelani libone uba kukhona yini usizi njengosizi lwami, olwenziwe kimi, iNkosi engidabule ngalo osukwini lokuvutha kolaka lwayo.
13 “Yaweereza omuliro okuva waggulu, ne gukka mu magumba gange. Yatega ebigere byange akatimba, n’anzizaayo emabega. Yandeka mpuubadde, nga nzirise olunaku lwonna.
Iphezulu, ithumele umlilo emathanjeni ami, wawehlula; ithiyele unyawo lwami imbule, ingibuyisele emuva; ingenze ngaba lunxiwa, ngaphela amandla usuku lonke.
14 “Ebibi byange binfuukidde ekikoligo; bisibiddwa ne binywezebwa omukono gwe. Binzitoowerera mu bulago, era bimmazeemu amaanyi. Mukama ampaddeyo mu mikono gy’abo be siyinza kugumiikiriza.
Ijokwe leziphambeko zami libotshwe ngesandla sayo; zelukiwe, zenyukele entanyeni yami, iwisile amandla ami; iNkosi inginikele ezandleni zabo, ngingelakho ukuvuka.
15 “Mukama anyoomye abalwanyi abazira bonna abaali nange; akuŋŋaanyizza eggye okunwanyisa, okuzikiriza abavubuka bange. Mukama alinnyiridde Omuwala Embeerera owa Yuda, ng’omuntu bw’asambirira ezabbibu mu lyato ng’asogola.
INkosi yeyisile wonke amaqhawe ami phakathi kwami; yabiza umhlangano omelene lami ukuchoboza amajaha ami; iNkosi inyathelele intombi emsulwa, indodakazi yakoJuda, isikhamelo sewayini.
16 “Kyenva nkaaba, amaaso gange ne gajjula amaziga, kubanga tewali n’omu andi kumpi okumbeesabeesa, ayinza okunzizaamu amaanyi. Abaana bange banakuwavu kubanga omulabe awangudde.”
Ngenxa yalezizinto ngiyakhala inyembezi; ilihlo lami, ilihlo lami lehlisa amanzi, ngoba umduduzi obengavuselela umphefumulo wami ukhatshana lami; abantwana bami bachithakele ngoba isitha sinqobile.
17 Sayuuni agolola emikono gye, naye tewali n’omu amudduukirira. Mukama awadde ekiragiro ku Yakobo baliraanwa be babeere balabe be; Yerusaalemi afuuse ekintu ekitali kirongoofu wakati mu bo.
IZiyoni iyelula izandla zayo, kakho oyiduduzayo. INkosi ilayile ngoJakobe ukuthi abamzingelezeleyo babe yizitha zakhe. IJerusalema injengowesifazana ongcolileyo phakathi kwabo.
18 “Mukama mutuukirivu, newaakubadde nga najeemera ekiragiro kye. Muwulirize mmwe amawanga gonna, mutunuulire okubonaabona kwange; Abavubuka bange ne bawala bange batwalibbwa mu busibe.
INkosi ilungile, ngoba ngivukele umlomo wayo. Ake lizwe, bantu lonke, libone usizi lwami. Intombi zami ezimsulwa lamajaha ami baye ekuthunjweni.
19 “Nakoowoola bannange bannyambe, naye tebanfaako; bakabona bange n’abakadde b’ekibuga kyange bazikiririra mu kibuga nga banoonya ekyokulya baddemu amaanyi.
Ngabiza izithandwa zami, kodwa zona zangikhohlisa. Abapristi bami labadala bami baphefumula okokucina emzini, besazidingela ukudla ukuze bavuselele umphefumulo wabo.
20 “Laba, Ayi Mukama Katonda bwe ndi omunakuwavu! Ndi mu kubonaabona, n’omutima gwange teguteredde kubanga njeemye nnyo ekiyitiridde. Ebweru ekitala kirindiridde okunsanyaawo, ne mu nnyumba mulimu kufa kwereere.
Bona, Nkosi, ngoba ngilusizi; imibilini yami idungekile, inhliziyo yami iphendukile phakathi kwami, ngoba ngaba lenkani kakhulu. Ngaphandle inkemba iyemuka abantwana, endlini kunjengokufa.
21 “Abantu bawulidde okusinda kwange, naye tewali n’omu ananyamba. Abalabe bange bonna bawulidde okusinda kwange; basanyukidde ekyo ky’okoze. Olunaku lwe walangirira, lubatuukeko, babeere nga nze.
Bezwile ukuthi mina ngiyabubula; kangilamduduzi; zonke izitha zami zizwile ngobubi bami; ziyathokoza ngoba wena ukwenzile. Uzalufikisa usuku osulumemezile, khona zizakuba njengami.
22 “Obabonereze olw’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe bwonna, nga nze bwe wambonereza. Okusinda kwange kungi n’omutima gwange guzirika.”
Kabufike bonke ububi bazo phambi kwakho, wenze kizo njengalokhu wenzile kimi ngenxa yazo zonke iziphambeko zami; ngoba ukububula kwami kunengi, lenhliziyo yami iphela amandla.
