1 Ekigambo kya Mukama ow’Eggye ne kinzijira nate nti:
Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi yamabandla lisithi:
2 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Nkwatirwa Sayuuni obuggya, obuggya obungi obw’ekitalo.”
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngilobukhwele ngeZiyoni ngobukhwele obukhulu, yebo, ngilobukhwele ngayo ngokuvutha okukhulu.
3 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ndikomawo mu Sayuuni, ndibeera wakati mu Yerusaalemi era Yerusaalemi kiriyitibwa ekibuga ekyesigwa, olusozi olwa Mukama ow’Eggye, Olusozi Olutukuvu.”
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngibuyele eZiyoni, njalo ngizahlala phakathi kweJerusalema; njalo iJerusalema izakuthiwa ngumuzi weqiniso, lentaba yeNkosi yamabandla, intaba engcwele.
4 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Abakadde abasajja n’abakazi bajja kuddamu okutuula mu nguudo za Yerusaalemi, nga buli omu akutte omuggo, olw’obukadde.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusezakuhlala amaxhegu lezalukazi ezitaladeni zeJerusalema, ngulowo lalowo elodondolo esandleni sakhe ngenxa yobunengi bezinsuku.
5 N’enguudo ez’ekibuga zirijjula abalenzi n’abawala nga bazannya.”
Lezitalada zomuzi zizagcwala abafana lamankazana bedlala ezitaladeni zawo.
6 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Kirirabika ng’eky’ekitalo mu maaso g’abantu abo abaasigalawo mu nnaku ezo, naye nange gye ndi bwe kiriba?” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Uba kumangalisa emehlweni ensali yalababantu ngalezozinsuku, kungamangalisa lemehlweni ami yini? itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
7 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Laba ndirokola abantu bange abali mu nsi ey’Ebuvanjuba n’abali mu nsi ey’Ebugwanjuba:
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Khangela, ngizasindisa abantu bami elizweni lempumalanga, lelizweni lokutshona kwelanga;
8 Ndibakomyawo, babeere mu Yerusaalemi, nange nnaabeeranga Katonda waabwe mu bwesigwa ne mu butuukirivu.”
ngibalethe, bahlale phakathi kweJerusalema; njalo bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, ngeqiniso langokulunga.
9 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Emikono gyammwe gibe n’amaanyi, mmwe, mu nnaku zino ababadde bawulira ebigambo bino ebiva mu kamwa ka bannabbi abaaliwo mu nnaku okuva omusingi gw’ennyumba ya Mukama ow’Eggye lwe gwasimbibwa, yeekaalu ye eryoke ezimbibwe.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Izandla zenu kaziqine, lina elizwayo ngalezinsuku amazwi la ngomlomo wabaprofethi, ababekhona mhla isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi yamabandla sibekwa, ukuze ithempeli lakhiwe.
10 Ekiseera ekyo nga tekinnatuuka, tewaali asobola kutoola nsimbi okupangisa omuntu wadde okupangisa ensolo. Era tewaali muntu ayinza kukola mirimu gye mu mirembe olw’omulabe we, kubanga buli muntu nnali mufudde mulabe wa muliraanwa we.
Ngoba ngaphambi kwalezonsuku kwakungelaholo lomuntu, kwakungekho iholo lenyamazana; futhi kungekho ukuthula kulowo owayephuma kumbe owayengena ngenxa yenhlupheko; ngoba ngathuma wonke umuntu ngulowo emelene lomakhelwane wakhe.
11 Naye kaakano abantu bano abaasigalawo sijja kubakola nga mu nnaku ezaayita,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
Kodwa khathesi kangiyikuba kunsali yalababantu njengensukwini zakuqala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
12 “Kubanga ensigo erikula bulungi, n’omuzabbibu gubale ekibala kyagwo, n’ettaka lireetenga ekimera kyalyo, n’eggulu lireetenga omusulo gwalyo. Nange abantu bange abaasigalawo ndibawa ebintu ebyo byonna nga gwe mugabo gwabwe.
Ngoba inhlanyelo izaphumelela, ivini lithele izithelo zalo, lomhlabathi uphe isivuno sawo, lamazulu aphe amazolo awo; njalo ngizakwenza insali yalababantu ukuthi idle ilifa lazo zonke lezizinto.
13 Nga bwe mwali ekikolimo mu baamawanga, ggwe ennyumba ya Yuda, naawe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, bwe ntyo bwe ndibalokola, era mulibeera omukisa eri abalala. Temutya, munywere emikono gyammwe gibe n’amaanyi.”
Kuzakuthi-ke njengoba laliyisiqalekiso phakathi kwabezizwe, wena ndlu kaJuda, lawe ndlu kaIsrayeli, ngokunjalo ngizalisindisa, libe yisibusiso. Lingesabi, izandla zenu kaziqine.
14 Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Nga bwe nasalawo okubabonereza, bajjajjammwe bwe bansunguwaza,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, “era ne sibasaasira,
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Njengoba nganginakane ukwenza okubi kini, lapho oyihlo bengithukuthelisa, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo kangizisolanga;
15 bwe ntyo nate bwe nsazeewo kaakano mu nnaku zino okukola obulungi Yerusaalemi n’ennyumba ya Yuda. Temutya.
ngokunjalo ngibuye ngacabanga kulezinsuku ukwenza okuhle kuyo iJerusalema lakuyo indlu kaJuda; lingesabi.
16 Bino bye bintu bye munaakolanga: buli muntu ayogerenga bya mazima ne muntu munne, musalenga emisango mu bwenkanya mu mpya zammwe;
Lezi yizinto elizazenza: Khulumani iqiniso, ngulowo lalowo kumakhelwane wakhe; yehlulelani iqiniso lesahlulelo sokuthula emasangweni enu.
17 tosaliranga muliraanwa wo lukwe. So tolayiranga bya bulimba, kubanga ebyo byonna mbikyawa,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Lingacabangi ububi enhliziyweni yenu ngulowo lalowo emelene lomakhelwane; lingathandi isifungo samanga; ngoba zonke lezizinto yilezo engizizondayo, itsho iNkosi.
18 Ekigambo kya Mukama ow’Eggye ne kinzijira nate nti:
Ilizwi leNkosi yamabandla laselifika kimi, lisithi:
19 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Okusiiba omwezi ogwokuna, n’ogwokutaano, n’ogw’omusanvu, n’ogw’ekkumi kunaabeeranga mbaga ey’essanyu era n’okwesiima mu nnyumba ya Yuda. Noolwekyo mwagalenga amazima n’emirembe.”
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ukuzila ukudla kwenyanga yesine, lokuzila ukudla kweyesihlanu, lokuzila ukudla kweyesikhombisa, lokuzila ukudla kweyetshumi, kuzakuba yintokozo, lokuthaba, lezikhathi ezimisiweyo zezinjabulo kuyo indlu yakoJuda. Ngakho thandani iqiniso lokuthula.
20 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Amawanga mangi n’abantu bangi abalijja okuva mu bibuga bingi era n’okuva mu nsi nnyingi;
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kusezakwenzeka ukuthi kufike abantu labahlali bemizi eminengi.
21 era ab’ekibuga ekimu baliraga mu kibuga ekirala babagambe nti, ‘Tugende mangu twegayiririre Mukama, tunoonye amaaso ga Mukama ow’Eggye. Nze kennyini ŋŋenda.’
Labahlali bomunye umuzi bazakuya komunye, besithi: Kasihambeni ngokuphangisa ukuyancenga phambi kweNkosi, lokudinga iNkosi yamabandla; lami ngizahamba.
22 Abantu bangi n’amawanga mangi ag’amaanyi galijja okunoonya Mukama ow’Eggye mu Yerusaalemi n’okwegayirira Mukama.”
Yebo, kuzakuza abantu abanengi lezizwe ezilamandla ukuzadinga iNkosi yamabandla eJerusalema, lokuncenga phambi kweNkosi.
23 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, “Mu nnaku ezo abasajja kkumi okuva mu buli lulimi olwogerwa mu mawanga balyekwata ku kyambalo ky’Omuyudaaya bagambe nti, ‘Muleke tugende nammwe kubanga twawulira nga Katonda ali nammwe.’”
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngalezonsuku kuzakuthi abambe amadoda alitshumi ezindimini zonke zezizwe, yebo abambe umphetho wesembatho somuntu ongumJuda, athi: Sizahamba lani; ngoba sizwile ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulani.
