< Engero 30 >
1 Bino bye bigambo bya Aguli mutabani wa Yake; obubaka bwe yawa bwe buno: Bw’ati omusajja ono bwe yagamba Isiyeri, Isyeri ono ne Ukali.
Amazwi kaAguri indodana kaJake umMasa. Umuntu wathi kuIthiyeli, kuIthiyeli loUkhali:
2 Ddala Ayi Katonda wange nze nsinga obutategeera, sirina kutegeera kwa bantu.
Isibili, ngiyisithutha kulomuntu, kangilakuqedisisa komuntu.
3 Siyize magezi, so n’oyo Omutukuvu simumanyi.
Kangifundanga inhlakanipho, kangilwazi ulwazi lwabangcwele.
4 Ani eyali alinnye mu ggulu n’akka? Ani eyali akuŋŋaanyiza empewo mu kibatu ky’engalo ze? Ani eyali asibye amazzi mu kyambalo kye? Ani eyatonda enkomerero zonna ez’ensi? Erinnya lye y’ani, ne mutabani we y’ani? Mbulira obanga obimanyi.
Ngubani owenyukela emazulwini njalo wehla? Ngubani oqoqe wafumbatha umoya ezandleni zakhe? Ngubani ogoqele amanzi esembathweni? Ngubani omise yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba? Lingubani ibizo lakhe, lebizo lendodana yakhe lingubani, uba usazi?
5 Buli kigambo kya Katonda kya mazima, era aba ngabo eri abo abamwesiga.
Lonke ilizwi likaNkulunkulu licwengekile; uyisihlangu kwabaphephela kuye.
6 Toyongeranga ku bigambo bye, alemenga okukunenya naawe olabike ng’omulimba.
Ungengezeleli emazwini akhe, hlezi akukhuze, utholwe ungumqambimanga.
7 Ebintu bibiri bye nkusaba; Ayi Mukama, tobinnyimanga nga sinnafa:
Zimbili izinto engizicele kuwe; ungangigodleli zona ngingakafi.
8 Ebigambo eby’obutaliimu n’eby’obulimba binteeke wala, ate era tonjavuwazanga wadde okungaggawaza, naye ndiisanga emmere eya buli lunaku.
Susa khatshana lami ize lamazwi amanga; ungangiphi ubuyanga loba inotho; ungiphe ukudla kwesabelo sami.
9 Nneme okukkutanga ne nkwegaana ne njogera nti, “Mukama ye y’ani?” Era nnemenga okuba omwavu ne nziba, ne nvumisa erinnya lya Katonda wange.
Hlezi ngisuthe, ngikuphike ngithi: Ngubani iNkosi? Kumbe hlezi ngibe ngumyanga, ngintshontshe, ngithathe ngeze ibizo likaNkulunkulu wami.
10 Tosekeetereranga muweereza eri mukama we, alemenga okukukolimira, naawe omusango ne gukusinga.
Ungahlebi inceku enkosini yayo, hlezi ikuthuke, ube lecala.
11 Waliwo abo abakolimira bakitaabwe ne batasabira na bannyaabwe mukisa;
Kulesizukulwana esithuka uyise, esingabusisi unina;
12 abo abeeraba ng’abatuukirivu bo mu maaso gaabwe, ate nga tebanaazibwangako bibi byabwe.
isizukulwana esihlambulukileyo emehlweni aso, kodwa esingahlanjululwanga engcekezeni yaso;
13 Waliwo abo ab’amalala amayitirivu, abatunuza okwemanya okw’ekitalo,
isizukulwana omehlo aso aphakeme kangaka, lenkophe zaso ziphakanyisiwe;
14 n’ebeerayo abo abalina amannyo agali ng’ebitala, n’emba zaabwe nga zirimu ebiso, okusaanyaawo abaavu mu nsi, n’abo abali mu kwetaaga.
isizukulwana omazinyo aso zinkemba, lesimazinyo aso omhlathi zingqamu, zokudla abayanga emhlabeni, labaswelayo ebantwini.
15 Ekinoso kirina bawala baakyo babiri abaleekaana nti, “Mpa! mpa!” Waliwo ebintu bisatu ebitakkuta, weewaawo bina ebitagamba nti, “Matidde,”
Umkhaza ulamadodakazi amabili athi: Phana, phana; lezizontathu kazisuthi; ezine kazitsho ukuthi: Kwanele.
16 Amagombe, olubuto olugumba, ettaka eritakutta mazzi, n’omuliro ogutayogera nti, “Ebyo binaamala!” (Sheol )
Ingcwaba, lesizalo esiyinyumba, umhlaba ongasuthi amanzi, lomlilo ongathi: Kwanele. (Sheol )
17 Eriiso ly’oyo anyooma kitaawe, era n’atagondera nnyina, liriggibwamu bannamuŋŋoona ab’omu kiwonvu, ne liriibwa ensega.
Ilihlo eliklolodela uyise, lelidelela ukulalela unina, amawabayi esihotsha azalikopola, labantwana bamanqe bazalidla.
18 Waliwo ebigambo bisatu eby’ekitalo ennyo gye ndi, weewaawo bina bye sitegeera:
Lezizinto ezintathu ziyisimangaliso esikhulu kimi, yebo, ezine engingazaziyo:
19 Empungu engeri gye yeeyisaamu mu bbanga, n’omusota engeri gye gwewalulamu wakati mu mayinja, n’ekyombo gye kiseeyeeyamu ku nnyanja, n’engeri omusajja gye yeeyisaamu ng’ali n’embeerera.
Indlela yokhozi emazulwini, indlela yenyoka edwaleni, indlela yomkhumbi enhliziyweni yolwandle, lendlela yejaha entombini.
20 Bw’ati bwe yeeyisa omukazi omwenzi: alya n’asiimuula emimwa gye n’agamba nti, “Sirina kibi kye nkoze.”
Injalo indlela yowesifazana oliwule; udla, esule umlomo wakhe, athi: Kangenzanga isiphambeko.
21 Ensi ekankanira wansi w’ebintu bisatu weewaawo bina:
Ngenxa yezinto ezintathu umhlaba uyazamazama, yebo, ngenxa yezine ongezithwale:
22 omuweereza bw’afuuka kabaka, n’omusirusiru bw’akutta emmere;
Ngenxa yesigqili nxa sibusa, lesithutha nxa sisuthi ukudla,
23 n’omukazi eyadibira mu ddya; n’omuweereza omuwala bw’afumbirwa bba wa mugole we.
ngenxa yesaliwakazi nxa sendile, lencekukazi nxa iyindlalifa yenkosikazi yayo.
24 Waliwo ebintu ebitono bina ku nsi, ebirina amagezi amangi ennyo.
Lezi ezine zingezincinyane zomhlaba, kanti zihlakaniphile zenziwe zihlakaniphe:
25 Enkolooto bye biwuka ebitalina maanyi mangi, naye byeterekera emmere yaabyo mu kyeya;
Ubunyonyo buyisizwe esingelamandla, kanti bulungisa ukudla kwabo ehlobo.
26 obumyu busolo bunafu naye bwezimbira ennyumba zaabwo mu mayinja;
Imbila ziyisizwe esingelamandla, kanti zimisa indlu yazo edwaleni.
27 enzige tezirina kabaka, kyokka zitabaala zonna mu bibiina byazo;
Intethe kazilankosi, kanti zonke ziphuma zehlukene ngamaviyo.
28 omunya oyinza okugukwasa engalo, naye mu mbiri za bakabaka gusangibwamu.
Umbankwa ubambelela ngezandla ezimbili, njalo usezigodlweni zenkosi.
29 Waliwo ebintu bisatu ebyesimba obulungi mu kitiibwa nga bitambula, weewaawo bina ebitambulira mu kitiibwa:
Lezi ezintathu zinyathela kuhle, yebo, ezine zihamba kuhle:
30 empologoma esinga ensolo zonna amaanyi era kabaka waazo, so tewali gy’esegulira yonna;
Isilwane esilamandla phakathi kwenyamazana, esingeyikubuyela emuva ngenxa yobuso loba ngobukabani;
31 sseggwanga, n’embuzi ennume, ne kabaka eyeetooloddwa eggye lye.
inja ebhince okhalweni, kumbe impongo; lenkosi ileviyo lamabutho.
32 Bw’oba ng’obadde okoze eby’obusirusiru ne weegulumiza, obanga obadde oteekateeka okukola ebibi, weekomeko weekwate ku mumwa.
Uba ube yisithutha ngokuziphakamisa, njalo uba ucebe okubi, beka isandla emlonyeni.
33 Kubanga okusunda amata kuzaala omuzigo, n’okunyiga ennyindo kuleeta omusaayi, okutankuula obusungu, bwe kutyo kuleeta entalo.
Ngoba ukuphehlwa kochago kuveza iphehla, lokucindezelwa kwempumulo kuveza igazi, lokucindezelwa kwentukuthelo kuveza ingxabano.
