Mikka 5
1 Kuŋŋaanya amaggye go, ggwe ekibuga ekirina amaggye, kubanga tulumbiddwa. Omukulembeze wa Isirayiri balimukuba omuggo ku luba.
Khathesi buthana ube ngamaviyo, wena ndodakazi yeviyo; yena ubekile ukuvimbezela ngakithi; ngenduku bazatshaya umahluleli wakoIsrayeli esihlathini.
2 “Naye ggwe Besirekemu Efulasa, newaakubadde ng’oli mutono mu bika bya Yuda, mu ggwe mwe muliva alibeera omufuzi wange mu Isirayiri. Oyo yaliwo okuva edda n’edda, ng’ensi tennabaawo.”
Kodwa wena, Bhethelehema Efratha, lanxa umncinyane phakathi kwezinkulungwane zakoJuda, uzaphuma kuwe eze kimi lowo ozakuba ngumbusi koIsrayeli; okuphuma kwakhe ngokwasendulo, ezinsukwini zaphakade.
3 Mukama kyaliva awaayo Isirayiri eri abalabe baayo okutuusa omukyala alumwa okuzaala lwalizaala omwana, era baganda be abaasigalawo ne balyoka bakomawo eri bannaabwe mu Isirayiri.
Ngakho uzabanikela, kuze kube yisikhathi sokuthi lowo ohelelwayo azale; khona insali yabafowabo izabuyela ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli.
4 Aliyimirira n’anyweera n’aliisa ekisibo kye mu maanyi ga Mukama, mu kitiibwa ky’erinnya lya Mukama Katonda we. Era abantu be tebalibaako abateganya, kubanga aliba mukulu okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi.
Njalo uzakuma eluse emandleni eNkosi, ekuphakameni kwebizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe; njalo bazahlala; ngoba khathesi uzakuba mkhulu kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba.
5 Omukulu oyo aliba mirembe gyabwe. Omwasuli bw’alirumba ensi yaffe n’abuna ebigo byaffe, tulimuyimbulira abasumba musanvu, n’abakulembeze munaana.
Njalo lumuntu uzakuba yikuthula; lapho umAsiriya engena elizweni lakithi, lalapho enyathela ezigodlweni zethu, kulapho sizamvusela abelusi abayisikhombisa, leziphathamandla zabantu eziyisificaminwembili.
6 Abo be balifuga ensi ya Asuli n’ekitala era ensi ya Nimuloodi nayo bagyonoone. Naye alitulokola eri Omwasuli bw’alitulumba mu nsi yaffe era bw’aliyingira mu nsalo zaffe.
Njalo bazalidla ilizwe leAsiriya ngenkemba, lelizwe likaNimrodi ezintubeni zalo. Ngalokho uzasophula kumAsiriya lapho engena elizweni lakithi, lalapho enyathela phakathi komngcele wethu.
7 Abantu ba Isirayiri abalisigalawo balibeera wakati mu mawanga agabeetoolodde, babe ng’omusulo oguva eri Mukama, ng’obukubakuba obutonnyeredde ku muddo obutalindirira muntu oba abaana b’abantu.
Lensali kaJakobe izakuba phakathi kwezizwe ezinengi njengamazolo avela eNkosini, njengemikhizo phezu kotshani, okungalindeli muntu, lokungameleli bantwana babantu.
8 Ng’empologoma bw’ebeera n’ensolo endala ez’omu nsiko, abantu abaasigalawo aba Yakobo balibeera mu mawanga mangi agabeetoolodde; ate era ng’empologoma ento mu bisibo by’endiga, bw’egenda n’eyitamu n’etaagulataagula ne wataba n’omu aziwonya.
Lensali kaJakobe izakuba phakathi kwezizwe, phakathi kwabezizwe abanengi, njengesilwane phakathi kwezinyamazana zeganga, njengebhongo lesilwane phakathi kwemihlambi yezimvu; elithi lapho lisedlula, linyathelele phansi lidabudabule, kungekho ongophula.
9 Omukono gwo guliwangula abalabe bo, ne bonna abakuyigganya balizikirizibwa.
Isandla sakho sizaphakama phezu kwabamelana lawe, njalo zonke izitha zakho zizaqunywa.
10 “Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndizikiriza embalaasi zo ne nsanyaawo n’amagaali go.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, ngiqume amabhiza akho aphume phakathi kwakho, ngichithe izinqola zakho.
11 Ndizikiriza ebibuga eby’omu nsi yo era mmenyemenye n’ebigo byo byonna.
Njalo ngizaquma imizi yelizwe lakho, ngidilizele phansi zonke izinqaba zakho.
12 Obulogo bwo ndibumalawo era toliddayo kukolima nate.
Njalo ngizaquma ubuthakathi esandleni sakho; kawusayikuba lezanuse.
13 N’ebibumbe bye musinza ndibizikiriza. Ne nziggyawo n’amayinja ge mwawonga; temuliddayo nate kuvuunamira bakatonda be mwekoledde n’emikono gyammwe.
Njalo ngizaquma izithombe zakho ezibaziweyo lezinsika zakho eziyizithombe zisuke phakathi kwakho; kawusayikuphinda ukhothamele umsebenzi wezandla zakho.
14 Era ndisigula Baasera okuva mu mmwe, ebibuga byammwe n’embizikiriza.
Njalo ngizasiphuna izixuku zakho ziphume phakathi kwakho, ngichithe imizi yakho.
15 Era ndyesasuza ku mawanga agataŋŋondedde n’obusungu n’ekiruyi.”
Njalo ngizakwenza impindiselo ngentukuthelo langolaka kuzo izizwe ezingalalelanga.
