Zabbuli 78
1 Oluyimba lwa Asafu. Muwulire okuyigiriza kwange mmwe abantu bange, musseeyo omwoyo ku bye njogera.
Ihubo ka-Asafu Zwanini imfundiso yami, bantu bami; lilalele amazwi omlomo wami.
2 Ndyogerera mu ngero, njogere ebintu eby’ekyama ebyaliwo edda,
Ngizavula umlomo wami ngemifanekiso, ngizakutsho izinto ezifihlekileyo, izinto zekadeni,
3 ebintu bye twawulira ne tumanya; ebintu bajjajjaffe bye baatutegeeza.
esakuzwayo lesikwaziyo esakutshelwa ngokhokho bethu.
4 Tetuubikisenga baana baabwe, naye tunaabuuliranga buli mulembe ogunnaddangawo ebikolwa bya Mukama eby’ekitalo, n’amaanyi ge n’ebyamagero bye yakola.
Kasizukuzifihlela abantwana babo; sizasitshela isizukulwane esizayo ngemisebenzi emangalisayo kaThixo, amandla akhe, lemimangaliso aseyenzile.
5 Yawa Yakobo ebiragiro, n’ateeka amateeka mu Isirayiri; n’alagira bajjajjaffe babiyigirizenga abaana baabwe,
Wamisela uJakhobe imithetho wabeka umlayo ko-Israyeli, walaya okhokho bethu ukuthi bawufundise abantwababo,
6 ab’omu mulembe oguliddirira nabo babimanye, n’abaana abalizaalibwa, nabo babiyigirize abaana baabwe,
ukuze aziwe yisizukulwane esilandelayo, kanye labantwana abazazalwa, kuthi labo batshele abantwababo.
7 balyoke beesigenga Katonda, era balemenga okwerabira ebyo byonna Katonda bye yakola; naye bagonderenga ebiragiro bye.
Yikho-ke bazabeka ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu njalo abasoze bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe kodwa bagcine imilayo yakhe.
8 Baleme okuba nga bajjajjaabwe, omulembe ogw’abakakanyavu era abajeemu abatali bawulize, ab’emyoyo egitali myesigwa eri Katonda.
Kabayikuba njengabokhokho babo ababeyisizukulwana esilobuqholo lesihlamukayo, onhliziyo zabo zazingazinikelanga kuNkulunkulu omoya yabo yayingathembekanga kuye.
9 Abaana ba Efulayimu abaalina obusaale obw’okulwanyisa, naye ne badduka mu lutalo,
Amadoda ako-Efrayimi, loba ayehlomile ngemitshoko, afulathela mhla welanga lempi;
10 tebaatuukiriza ndagaano ya Katonda; ne bagaana okugondera amateeka ga Mukama.
kabasigcinanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuphila ngomthetho wakhe.
11 Beerabira ebyo bye yakola, n’ebyamagero bye yabalaga.
Bakhohlwa lokho ayekwenzile, izimanga ayebatshengise zona.
12 Yakola ebyamagero mu maaso ga bajjajjaabwe nga bali mu nsi y’e Misiri, mu kitundu kya Zowani.
Wenza imimangaliso oyise bekhangele elizweni laseGibhithe, esigodini saseZowani.
13 Ennyanja yajaawulamu, amazzi ne geetuuma ebbali n’ebbali ng’ebisenge.
Walwahlukanisa ulwandle wabahola bachapha; wenza amanzi ema aqina saka njengomduli.
14 Emisana yabakulemberanga n’ekire, n’ekiro n’abakulemberanga n’empagi ey’omuliro.
Wabahola ngeyezi emini njalo ngokukhanya komlilo ubusuku bonke.
15 Yayasa enjazi mu ddungu, n’abawa amazzi amangi agaali ng’agava mu buziba bw’ennyanja.
Wawaqhekeza amadwala enkangala wabapha amanzi amanengi njengolwandle;
16 Yaggya ensulo mu lwazi, n’akulukusa amazzi ng’emigga.
wantshazisa impophoma emadwaleni amawa wenza amanzi ageleza njengemifula.
17 Naye bo ne beeyongera bweyongezi okwonoona, ne bajeemera Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo nga bali mu ddungu.
Kodwa baqhubeka besona phambi kwakhe, bamhlamukela enkangala yena oPhezukonke.
18 Ne bagezesa Katonda mu bugenderevu, nga bamusaba emmere gye baalulunkanira.
Bamlinga uNkulunkulu ngabomo ngokucela ukudla ababekutshisekela.
19 Era ne boogera ku Katonda; nga bagamba nti, “Katonda asobola okutuliisiza mu ddungu?
Bamchothoza uNkulunkulu besithi, “Kambe uNkulunkulu angendlala itafula lokudlela enkangala na?
20 Weewaawo yakuba olwazi, amazzi ne gakulukuta ng’emigga; naye anaatuwa emmere? Anaawa abantu be ennyama?”
Wathi lapho etshaya idwala, amanzi antshantshaza, kwageleza amanzi amanengi. Kodwa angasipha njalo lokudla na? Angabalethela inyama abantu bakhe na?”
21 Awo Mukama bwe yawulira ebyo n’asunguwala nnyo; omuliro gwe ne gwaka ku Yakobo, n’obusungu bwe ne bubuubuukira ku Isirayiri.
UThixo wathi ebezwa wathukuthela kakhulu; umlilo wakhe wavuthela kuJakhobe, ulaka lwakhe lwaqina ku-Israyeli,
22 Kubanga tebakkiriza Katonda, era tebeesiga maanyi ge agalokola.
ngoba kabamkholwanga uNkulunkulu njalo kabawathembanga amandla okuhlenga kwakhe.
23 Naye era n’alagira eggulu; n’aggulawo enzigi z’omu ggulu.
Loba kunjalo walaya umkhathi ngaphezulu wavula iminyango yamazulu;
24 N’abaweereza maanu okuva mu ggulu balye. Yabawa emmere eyava mu ggulu.
wanisa imana ukuthi badle abantu, wabapha amabele asezulwini.
25 Abantu ne balya emmere ya bamalayika; Mukama n’abawanga emmere nnyingi eyabamaliranga ddala.
Abantu badla isinkwa sezingilosi; wabathumela konke ukudla ababengakudla.
26 N’akunsa empewo ey’Ebuvanjuba okuva mu ggulu, era n’aweereza empewo okuva obukiika obwaddyo n’amaanyi ge.
Wawukhulula umoya wempumalanga uvela emazulwini, wawukhulula umoya weningizimu ngamandla akhe.
27 Yatonnyesa ennyama okuva mu ggulu ennyingi ennyo ng’enfuufu; n’abaweereza n’obunyonyi enkumu ennyo ng’omusenyu gw’okulubalama lw’ennyanja.
Wanisela inyama kubo njengothuli, izinyoni eziphaphayo zaba njengetshebetshebe ogwini lolwandle.
28 Ebyokulya ebyo n’abisuula wakati mu lusiisira lwabwe; okwetooloola eweema zaabwe.
Wazenza zehlela phakathi kwezihonqo zabo, indawana yonke emathenteni abo.
29 Awo ne balya ne bakkuta nnyo; kubanga yabawa kye baali bayaayaanira.
Bazitika baze bakhangela, ngoba wayebaphe ababekade bekukhalela.
30 Naye bwe baali nga bakyalulunkana, nga n’emmere ekyali mu kamwa kaabwe,
Kodwa bengakakutshiyi lokho kudla ababekukhalela belokhu besakunambitha emilonyeni yabo,
31 obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubabuubuukirako, n’abattamu abasajja abasinga amaanyi; abavubuka ba Isirayiri ne bazikirizibwa.
ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwavutha kubo; wabulala zona iziqwabalanda zabo, wawahemula amajaha ako-Israyeli.
32 Naye newaakubadde ebyo byonna byabatuukako, kyokka beeyongera okwonoona; newaakubadde nga yabakolera ebyamagero, naye tebakkiriza.
Phezu kwakho konke lokhu baqhubeka besona; phezu kwezimanga zakhe, kabazange bakholwe.
33 Mukama kyeyava asala ku myaka gyabwe, n’abaleetako okuzikirizibwa okw’amangu era okw’entiisa.
Ngakho wenza insuku zabo zaphelela ezeni njalo leminyaka yabo yagcwala ukwesaba.
34 Bwe yattanga abamu ku bo, ne balyoka bamunoonya, ne beenenya ne badda gy’ali.
Kwakusithi uNkulunkulu angababulala, bamdinge; baphendukele kuye njalo ngokutshiseka.
35 Ne bajjukira nti Katonda lwe Lwazi lwabwe; era nti Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo ye Mununuzi waabwe.
Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayelidwala labo, ukuthi uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wayenguMhlengi wabo.
36 Kyokka baamuwaananga n’emimwa gyabwe, nga bwe bamulimba n’ennimi zaabwe,
Kodwa-ke kwakuyikumyenga ngemilomo yabo, beqamba amanga kuye ngendimi zabo;
37 so tebaali beesigwa mu mitima gyabwe, era nga tebatuukiriza ndagaano ye.
inhliziyo zabo zazingabambelelanga kuye, babengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe.
38 Naye ye n’abakwatirwanga ekisa n’abasonyiwanga, n’atabazikiriza; emirundi n’emirundi ng’akoma ku busungu bwe, n’atabamalirako kiruyi kye okubazikiririza ddala.
Kodwa wayelesihawu; wazithethelela izono zabo kaze ababhubhisa. Isikhathi ngesikhathi waluthoba ulaka lwakhe akaze akuqubula konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe.
39 Yajjukira nga baali mubiri bubiri; ng’empewo egenda n’etedda!
Wakhumbula ukuthi babeyinyama nje intshongolo eyedlulayo nje ingabe isabuya.
40 Baamujeemeranga nnyo bwe baali mu ddungu; ne banakuwaza nnyo omutima gwe.
Kodwa ukuthi bamhlamukela kanengi njani enkangala, bamdabukisa egwaduleni!
41 Ne baddamu ne bakema Katonda, ne banyiiza Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
Baphindaphinda ukulinga uNkulunkulu; bamthukuthelisa oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
42 Tebajjukira buyinza bwe; wadde olunaku lwe yabanunulirako mu mikono gy’omulabe;
Kabawakhumbulanga amandla akhe usuku abakhulula ngalo kumncindezeli,
43 bwe yalaga obubonero bwe mu Misiri, n’ebyamagero bye mu kitundu kya Zowani,
usuku lapho aveza khona izibonakaliso zakhe ezimangalisayo eGibhithe, izimanga zakhe esigodini saseZowani.
44 yafuula amazzi g’emigga gyabwe omusaayi, ne batanywa mazzi gaagyo.
Waguqula imifula yabo yaba ligazi; behluleka ukunatha ezifuleni zabo.
45 Yabaweereza agabinja g’ensowera ne zibaluma, n’abaweereza n’ebikere ne bibadaaza.
Wathumela imihlambi yezibawu zabantinya, lamaxoxo ababhuqayo.
46 Ebirime n’ebibala byabwe yabiwa enzige ne bulusejjera.
Amabele abo wawathela izintethe, izithelo zabo isikhongwane.
47 Yazikiriza emizabbibu gyabwe n’omuzira, era ne gukuba n’emisukomooli gyabwe.
Wathintitha amavini abo ngesiqhotho lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore wayitshazisa ngongqwaqwane.
48 Yatta ente zaabwe n’amayinja g’omuzira; n’ebisibo byabwe ne bittibwa eraddu.
Inkomo zabo wazithela ngesiqhotho, izifuyo zabo zadliwa yizikhatha zombane.
49 Obusungu bwe obungi bwababuubuukirako, n’ekiruyi kye n’obukambwe ne bibamalamu ensa. N’alyoka abasindikira ekibinja kya bamalayika okubazikiriza.
Wabathululela ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo, intukuthelo yakhe, ukucunuka lenzondo ixuku lezingilosi ezibhubhisayo.
50 Yabalaga obusungu bwe, n’atabasonyiwa kufa, n’abasindikira kawumpuli.
Wayilungisa indlela yolaka lwakhe; kabaphephisanga ekufeni kodwa wabanikela emikhuhlaneni.
51 Yatta ababereberye bonna ab’omu Misiri, nga be bavubuka ab’ebibala ebibereberye eby’omu nnyumba ya Kaamu.
Wawabulala wonke amazibulo aseGibhithe, izithelo zabo zokuqala zokuba ngamadoda emathenteni kaHamu.
52 N’alyoka afulumya abantu be ng’endiga, n’abatambuza mu ddungu ng’ekisibo.
Kodwa wabakhupha abantu bakhe njengomhlambi wezimvu; wabahola njengezimvu bedabula inkangala.
53 N’abaluŋŋamya mu mirembe nga tebatya, ennyanja n’esaanyaawo abalabe baabwe.
Wabakhokhela ngonanzelelo, ngakho babengesabi; kodwa ulwandle lwazigubuzela izitha zabo.
54 N’abatuusa ku nsalo y’ensi entukuvu; ku lusozi lwe yeewangulira, n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo.
Kanjalo wabaletha emngceleni welizwe lakhe elingcwele, elizweni lamaqaqa ayelithethe ngesandla sakhe sokunene.
55 Yagobamu amawanga nga balaba, n’abagabanyiza ebitundu by’ensi eyo; n’atuuza bulungi ebika bya Isirayiri mu maka gaabyo.
Wazixotsha izizwe phambi kwabo wabahlukanisela ilizwe lazo laba yilifa; wahlalisa izizwana zako-Israyeli emizini yazo.
56 Naye era ne bakema Katonda; ne bamujeemera oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, ne bagaana okugondera ebiragiro bye.
Kodwa bamlinga uNkulunkulu, bamhlamukela oPhezukonke; kabayigcinanga imilayo yakhe.
57 Ne bamuvaako ne baba bakuusa nga bajjajjaabwe bwe baali, ne baggwaamu obwesigwa ng’omutego gw’obusaale omukyamu.
Njengabokhokho babo babengathembekanga bengakholwa, ungeke wathemba njengedandili elenziwe kubi.
58 Kubanga baasunguwaza Katonda olw’ebifo ebigulumivu bo bye beegunjira okusinzizangamu, ne bamukwasa obuggya olwa bakatonda baabwe abalala.
Bamvusa ulaka ngezindawo zabo eziphezulu; baqubula ubukhwele bakhe ngezithombe zabo.
59 Katonda bwe yabiraba n’asunguwala nnyo, n’aviira ddala ku Isirayiri.
Wathi uNkulunkulu ngokukuzwa lokho, wathukuthela kakhulu; wamlahla qobo lokumlahla u-Israyeli.
60 N’ava mu weema ey’omu Siiro, eweema mwe yabeeranga ng’ali mu bantu be.
Walidela ithabanikeli lakhe eShilo, ithente ayelakhile phakathi kwabantu.
61 N’awaayo amaanyi ge mu busibe, n’ekitiibwa kye n’akiwaayo eri omulabe.
Umphongolo wakhe wamandla wawusa ekuthunjweni, inkazimulo yakhe ezandleni zesitha.
62 Abantu be yabaleka ne battibwa n’ekitala, n’asunguwalira omugabo gwe.
Abantu bakhe wabanikela ukudliwa yinkemba; wayethukuthele kakhulu ngelifa lakhe.
63 Omuliro ne gusaanyaawo abavubuka baabwe abalenzi, ne bawala baabwe ne babulwa ow’okubawasa.
Umlilo waziqeda izinsizwa zabo, izintombi zabo zaswela izingoma zomtshado;
64 Bakabona baabwe battibwa n’ekitala, ne bannamwandu baabwe tebaasobola kubakungubagira.
abaphristi babo babulawa ngenkemba, abafelokazi babo behluleka ukulila.
65 Awo Mukama n’alyoka agolokoka ng’ali nga ava mu tulo, ng’omusajja omuzira azuukuka mu tulo ng’atamidde.
INkosi yasivuka njengokade esebuthongweni, njengomuntu ephaphama ekudakweni yiwayini.
66 N’akuba abalabe be ne badduka; n’abaswaza emirembe gyonna.
Wazitshaya zahlehla izitha zakhe; waziyangisa okungapheliyo.
67 Mukama yaleka ennyumba ya Yusufu, n’ekika kya Efulayimu n’atakironda;
Khonapho-ke wawakhalala amathente kaJosefa, akaze asikhetha isizwana sika-Efrayimi;
68 naye n’alonda ekika kya Yuda, lwe lusozi Sayuuni lwe yayagala.
kodwa wakhetha isizwana sikaJuda, iNtaba iZiyoni ayeyithanda.
69 N’azimba awatukuvu we ne wagulumira ng’ensozi empanvu; ne waba ng’ensi gye yanyweza emirembe gyonna.
Wakha indlu yakhe engcwele njengeziqongo, njengomhlaba awumisela ingunaphakade.
70 Yalonda Dawudi omuweereza we; n’amuggya mu kulunda endiga.
Wakhetha uDavida inceku yakhe wamthatha ezilugwini zezimvu;
71 Ave mu kuliisa endiga, naye alundenga Yakobo, be bantu be, era alabirirenga Isirayiri omugabo gwe, gwe yeerondera.
wamsusa ekweluseni izimvu wamletha ukuba ngumelusi wabantu bakhe uJakhobe, baka-Israyeli ilifa lakhe.
72 N’abalabirira n’omutima ogutaliimu bukuusa, n’abakulembera n’amagezi g’emikono gye.
Njalo uDavida wabelusa ngobuqotho benhliziyo; wabakhokhela ngesandla sobungcitshi.
