Zabbuli 1

1 Alina omukisa omuntu atatambulira mu kuteesa kw’ababi, era atayimirira mu kibiina ky’ababi, newaakubadde okutuula n’abo abanyooma ebya Katonda.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae angakovi, pe tuʻu ʻi he hala ʻoe kau angahala, pe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe manuki.

2 Naye asanyukira okugondera amateeka ga Mukama, era mu mateeka ago mw’alowooleza emisana n’ekiro.

Ka ko ʻene fiefia ʻoku ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova; pea ko ʻene fono ʻoku ne fakalaulauloto ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.

3 Afaanana ng’omuti ogwasimbibwa ku mabbali g’omugga, ogubala ebibala byagwo mu ntuuko zaabyo, n’ebikoola byagwo tebiwotoka. Na buli ky’akola kivaamu birungi byereere.

Pea ʻe tatau ia mo e ʻakau kuo tō ki he veʻe vaitafe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi hono fua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu; pea ko hono lau foki ʻe ʻikai mae; pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai ʻe monūʻia.

4 Naye abakola ebibi tebakola bwe batyo. Bali ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuuliddwa.

‌ʻOku ʻikai pehē ʻae angakovi: ka ʻoku tatau ia mo e kafukafu ʻaia ʻoku vilingia, ʻi he matangi.

5 Noolwekyo abakola ebibi tebaligumira lunaku lwa kusalirako musango; newaakubadde aboonoonyi okuyimirira mu kibiina ky’abatuukirivu.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ʻae angakovi ʻi he fakamaau, pe ko e angahala ʻi he fakataha ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.

6 Kubanga Mukama alabirira ekkubo ly’abatuukirivu, naye ekkubo ly’abakola ebibi liribula.

He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Sihova ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e hala ʻoe angakovi ʻe ʻauha ia.
