< Mikka 6 >
1 Muwulire Mukama by’ayogera ng’agamba nti, “Muyimuke leero tuwoze ensonga zammwe mu maaso g’ensozi, n’obusozi buwulire bye mugamba.
Lalelani okutshiwo nguThixo ukuthi: “Sukumani lilandise indaba yenu phambi kwezintaba; amaqaqa kawezwe lokho elikutshoyo.
2 “Kaakano mmwe ensozi muwulire Mukama ky’abavunaana; nammwe emisingi gy’ensi egy’olubeerera muwulire. Mukama alina ensonga ku bantu be era agenda kuwawabira Isirayiri.
Zwanini, lina zintaba, icala elethulwa nguThixo; lalelani lina zisekelo zomhlaba ezingulaphakade. Ngoba kulecala uThixo alibeka ebantwini bakhe, wethesa u-Israyeli icala.
3 “Mmwe abantu bange kiki kye nnali mbakoze? Nnali mbazitooweredde? Munziremu.
Bantu bami, ngenzeni kini na? Ngilihluphe ngani na? Ngiphendulani.
4 Nabaggya mu nsi ye Misiri ne mbanunula mu nsi ey’obuddu, ne mbawa Musa, ne Alooni ne Miryamu okubakulembera.
Ngalikhupha eGibhithe ngalikhulula elizweni lobugqili. Ngathuma uMosi ukuba alikhokhele kanye lo-Aroni loMiriyemu.
5 Mmwe abantu bange mujjukire ekigendererwa kya Balaki kabaka wa Mowaabu n’ebigambo, Balamu omwana wa Byoli bye yayogera. Mujjukire bye nabakolera okuva e Sittimu okutuuka e Girugaali mulyoke mumanye ebikolwa bya Mukama eby’obutuukirivu.”
Bantu bami, khumbulani izicebiso zikaBhalaki inkosi yaseMowabi lokuthi uBhalamu indodana kaBheyori waphendula wathini. Khumbulani uhambo lwenu kusukela eShithima kusiya eGiligali, ukuze lazi imisebenzi elungileyo kaThixo.”
6 Mwebuuza nti kiki kye nnaaleeta mu maaso ga Mukama nvuuname mu maaso ga Katonda agulumizibwa? Mmusemberere n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ennyana ezaakamala omwaka ogumu?
Kuyini engizakuza lakho phambi kukaThixo ngikhothame phambi kukaNkulunkulu ophakemeyo na? Ngizakuza phambi kwakhe ngilomnikelo wokutshiswa, ngilamathole alomnyaka owodwa na?
7 Mukama alisiima endiga eza sseddume olukumi, oba emitwalo gy’emigga gy’amafuta? Mpeeyo omwana wange omubereberye olw’ebibi byange, nga mpaayo ekibala ky’omubiri gwange olw’ekibi eky’emmeeme yange?
UThixo angathokoziswa zinqama eziyizinkulungwane, izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zemifula yamafutha na? Ngizanikela izibulo lami ngenxa yokona kwami, isithelo somzimba wami ngenxa yesono somphefumulo wami na?
8 Mukama akulaze, ggwe omuntu, ekirungi ky’oteekwa okukola. Kaakano, Mukama kiki ky’akwetaaza, okuggyako okukola eby’ensonga, okuba n’ekisa era n’okutambulira mu buwombeefu ne Katonda wo.
Ukutshengisile wena muntu okuhle. UThixo ufunani kuwe na? Ukwenza okulungileyo lokuthanda umusa kanye lokuhamba ngokuzithoba loNkulunkulu wakho.
9 Wuliriza, Mukama akoowoola ekibuga mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka. “Kya magezi ddala okutya erinnya lye, n’okussaayo omwoyo eri okukangavvula n’eri oyo akangavvula.
Lalelani! UThixo umemezela kulo idolobho, lokwesaba ibizo lakho kuyikuhlakanipha, “Qaphelani umqwayi laLowo owubekileyo.
10 Nnyinza okwerabira eby’obugagga bye mwefunira, mmwe ennyumba erina obutali butuukirivu, erina n’ekigera ekitatuuka eky’omuzizo?
Wena ndlu yobubi, kufanele lakhathesi ngiyikhohlwe inotho yakho eyazuzwa ngobubi, lehefa elinganelanga, eliqalekisiweyo na?
11 Nnyinza okusonyiwa omuntu alina ebigera ebitatuuse, alina ensawo ez’ebipimo eby’obulimba?
Ngizamkhulula yini ecaleni umuntu olezilinganiso zobuqili, lesaka lezilinganiso zamanga na?
12 Abagagga baakyo bakambwe n’abatuuze baamu balimba n’ennimi zaabwe tezoogera mazima.
Abantu bakhona abanothileyo balochuku; abantu bakhona ngabaqambi bamanga, lezilimi zabo zikhuluma inkohliso.
13 Nange kyenvudde ntandika okukuzikiriza, nkumalewo olw’ebibi byo.
Ngakho sengiqalisile ukukuchitha, ukukuqothula ngenxa yezono zakho.
14 Onoolyanga, naye n’otokutta, era olubuto lwo lulisigala lutokota nga lukubanja. Oligezaako okukuŋŋaanya, weeterekere, naye tolibaako na kimu ky’otereka kubanga byonna ndibiwaayo eri ekitala.
Uzakudla kodwa ungasuthi; isisu sakho sizakuba silokhu singelalutho. Uzabuthelela kodwa ungalondolozi lutho, ngoba lokho okulondolozayo ngizakupha inkemba.
15 Olisiga naye tolikungula, oligezaako okusogola emizeeyituuni weggyiremu amafuta naye tolifuna mafuta gamala kusaabako, olisogola emizabbibu naye toliggyamu kyakunywa.
Uzalima kodwa ungavuni; uzakhama ama-oliva kodwa amafutha awo ungawagcobi, uzakhama amavini kodwa iwayini lawo ungalinathi.
16 Olw’okuba ng’okolera ku biragiro bya Omuli n’ogoberera n’ebikolwa byonna eby’ennyumba ya Akabu n’ogoberera n’emizizo gyabwe, kyendiva nkufuula ekifulukwa, n’abantu bo bonna babeere eky’okuduulirwa era olibaako ekivume ky’amawanga.”
Ugcinile imithetho ka-Omri layo yonke imikhutshana yasendlini ka-Ahabi, walandela lamasiko abo. Ngakho-ke ngizakunikela ekubhujisweni, labantu bakho ekubeni yinhlekisa; uzathwala ihlazo lezizwe.”
