UHabakhukhi 1
1 Isiphrofethi esemukelwa nguHabhakhukhi umphrofethi.
Buno bwe bubaka bwa Mukama, Kaabakuuku nnabbi bwe yafuna.
2 Koze kube nini, awu Thixo, ngicela usizo, kodwa ungalaleli na? Loba ngimemezela kuwe ngisithi, “Udlakela!” kodwa ungangihlengi na?
Ayi Mukama, ndituusa ddi okukukaabirira naye nga tompuliriza? Lwaki nkukaabirira nti, “Ebikolwa eby’obukambwe bimpitiriddeko,” naye n’otonnyamba?
3 Kungani ungitshengisa okungasimfanelo na? Kungani ubekezelela okungalunganga na? Ukuchitheka lodlakela kuphambi kwami; kulokulwa, lengxabano yandile.
Lwaki ondaga obutali bwenkanya era lwaki ogumiikiriza obukyamu? Kubanga okuzikiriza n’ebikolwa eby’obukambwe biri mu maaso gange, empaka n’ennyombo byeyongede.
4 Ngakho umthetho usuthundubezekile, lokulunga akusabi khona. Ababi baminyezela abalungileyo ukuze ukulunga konakaliswe.
Amateeka kyegavudde gatagonderwa era n’obwenkanya ne butakolebwa. Ababi be basinga abatuukirivu obungi era babeebunguludde, n’obwenkanya ne bulinnyirirwa.
5 “Khangelani ezizweni libone njalo limangale kakhulu. Ngoba ensukwini zenu ngizakwenza into elingasoze liyikholwe, lanxa lingabe litsheliwe.
“Mutunuulire amawanga, mwetegereze. Mwewuunyize ddala nnyo. Kubanga ŋŋenda kukola omulimu mu nnaku zammwe gwe mutalikkiriza newaakubadde nga mugubuuliddwa.
6 Sengivusa amaKhaladiya, lesiya isizwe esilesihluku lamawala, esitshaya sibhuqe umhlaba wonke, sithumba izindawo zokuhlala ezingasizo zaso.
Kubanga laba, nkuyimusiza Abakaludaaya, eggwanga eryo eririna ettima era ekkambwe, ababunye ensi eno n’eri nga bawamba amawanga agatali gaabwe.
7 Bayisizwe esesabekayo lesitshayisa uvalo; bangumthetho bona ngokwabo njalo baziphakamisa udumo lwabo.
Ba ntiisa, batiibwa, be beetekera amateeka gaabwe era be bagassa mu nkola, nga balwanirira ekitiibwa kyabwe.
8 Amabhiza abo alesiqubu esedlula esamahlosi, ayesabeka kulezimpisi kusihlwa. Amabhiza abo empi amatha ephulukundlela, abagadi bawo amabhiza bavela khatshana. Bandiza njengamanqe ehwitha ukudla,
Embalaasi zaabwe zidduka okukira engo, era mu bukambwe zikira emisege egy’ekiro. Abasajja abeebagala embalaasi bava mu nsi ey’ewala era bajja beesaasaanyizza ne banguwa okutuuka ng’ensega bw’erumba ky’eneerya.
9 bonke beza belande udlakela. Amaxuku abo aqhubekela phambili njengomoya wasenkangala abuthe abathunjiweyo njengenhlabathi.
Bajja n’eryanyi bonna, ebibinja byabwe birumba ng’embuyaga ey’omu ddungu; ne balyoka bayoola abawambe abangi ng’omusenyu.
10 Baklolodela amakhosi, bahleke ababusi usulu. Wonke amadolobho avikelweyo bayawahleka; bakha amadundulu ngenhlabathi bawathumbe lawo madolobho.
Weewaawo, basekerera bakabaka ne baduulira n’abakungu. Basekerera buli kibuga ekiriko ekigo ne bakituumako ebifunfugu ne balinnyira okwo, ne bakiwamba.
11 Emva kwalokho badlula ngesiqubu njengomoya baqhubeke, abantu abalecala abamandla abo angunkulunkulu wabo.”
Awo ne bayita nga bakunta ng’embuyaga; abantu bano omusango be gwasinga, eryanyi lyabwe ye katonda waabwe.”
12 Awu Thixo, kawuveli phakade na? Nkulunkulu wami, Ngcwele wami, kasiyikufa. Awu Thixo, ubabekile ukuba bahlulele. Awu Dwala, ubamisile ukuba bajezise.
Ayi Mukama toli wa mirembe na mirembe, ggwe Mukama Katonda wange, si ggwe Mutukuvu wange? Tetulifa. Ayi Mukama ggwe wabateekawo n’obawa amaanyi batusalire emisango. Era ggwe Olwazi, wabateekawo kubonereza.
13 Amehlo akho ahlanzeke kakhulu ukuba akhangele okubi; awungeke ubekezelele okungalunganga. Pho kungani ubekezelela abachithayo na? Uthulelani lapho ababi beqeda labo abalunge kakhulu kulabo na?
Amaaso go gajjudde obulongoofu tegatunula ku kibi, so toyinza kugumiikiriza bukyamu. Kale lwaki ggwe ogumiikiriza ab’enkwe, n’osirika ng’omubi amalirawo ddala omuntu amusinga obutuukirivu?
14 Wenze abantu bafana lenhlanzi olwandle, njengezidalwa zasolwandle ezingelambusi.
Kubanga abantu obafudde ng’ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja, ng’ebitonde eby’omu nnyanja ebitaliiko abifuga.
15 Isitha esibi siyazikhupha zonke ngewuka, siyazibamba ngembule laso, sizibuthele embuleni laso elidonswayo; ngalokho siyajabula sithokoze.
Omulabe omubi abakwata bonna ng’eddobo, oluusi n’abawalula mu katimba ke, n’abakuŋŋaanya mu kiragala kye n’alyoka asanyuka n’ajaguza.
16 Ngakho-ke senzela imbule laso umhlatshelo, sitshisele imbule laso elidonswayo impepha ngoba ngenxa yembule laso sithe pekle phakathi kwenotho, sizitika ngokudla okumnandi.
Kyava awaayo ssaddaaka eri akatimba ke n’ayotereza n’ekiragala kye obubaane; akatimba ke kamuwa obulamu obw’okwejalabya, n’alya emmere ey’ekigagga.
17 Kuzamele siqhubeke sithulula umambule waso, sitshabalalisa izizwe kungekho sihawu na?
Kale, bwe batyo bwe banaalekebwa okutikkula obutimba bwabwe, n’okusaanyaawo amawanga awatali kusaasira?
