< Izililo 2 >
1 UThixo wembese iNdodakazi yeZiyoni ngeyezi lolaka lwakhe! Ubutaklazele phansi ubunkanyankanya buka-Israyeli busuka ezulwini busiya emhlabeni; kasinakanga isenabelo sakhe mhla wentukuthelo yakhe.
Obusungu bwa Mukama nga bubuubuukidde ku Muwala wa Sayuuni ne bumussa wansi w’ekire! Ekitiibwa kya Isirayiri, Mukama akissizza wansi okuva mu ggulu okutuuka ku nsi; ne yeerabira entebe ey’ebigere bye ku lunaku lwe yasunguwalirako.
2 UThixo kabanga lozwelo lapho eginya yonke imizi kaJakhobe; ngolaka lwakhe udilizele phansi izinqaba zeNdodakazi kaJuda. Usewuchithile umbuso wakhe, lababusi bawo wababhuqa phansi, baba lehlazo.
Mukama azikirizza abatuula mu Yakobo bonna awatali kubasaasira; mu busungu bwe amenye ebigo eby’amaanyi eby’omuwala wa Yuda; assizza wansi obwakabaka bwe n’abakungu be n’abamalamu ekitiibwa.
3 Ngolaka lwakhe olwesabekayo, usegumule zonke impondo zika-Israyeli. Usegodle isandla sakhe sokunene lapho kuqhamuka isitha. Utshise koJakhobe njengelangabi elihangula konke okuseduze.
Mu busungu obungi amaanyi gonna aga Isirayiri agakendeezezza; bw’alabye omulabe ng’asembera, n’aggyawo omukono gwe ogwa ddyo; anyiigidde Yakobo okufaanana ng’omuliro bwe gubumbujja ne gwokya buli ekiguliraanye.
4 Usethiye idandili lakhe njengesitha; isandla sakhe sokunene sesiqaphile. Njengesitha usebabulele bonke ababebahle ebusweni; usethele ulaka lwakhe olungumlilo phezu kwethente leNdodakazi yeZiyoni.
Anaanudde omutego gwe okufaanana nga ogw’omulabe, era omukono gwe ogwa ddyo mweteefuteefu. Azikirizza ebyo byonna ebisanyusa amaaso mu weema ey’omuwala wa Sayuuni, okufaanana ng’omulabe bwe yandikoze; obusungu bwe bubuubuuka ng’omuliro.
5 UThixo unjengesitha; usemginyile u-Israyeli. Useziginyile zonke izigodlo zakhe, wabhidliza zonke izinqaba zakhe. Usekwandisile ukukhala lokulilela iNdodakazi kaJuda.
Mukama afuuse ng’omulabe; azikirizza Isirayiri, n’azikiriza embiri ze, n’azikiriza n’ebifo bye eby’amaanyi. Aleetedde muwala wa Yuda okweyongera okukaaba n’okukungubaga.
6 Usetshaye wakhukhula umuzi wakhe njengensimu; usebhidlize indawo yakhe yokuhlanganela. UThixo usenze iZiyoni yakhohlwa imikhosi yayo emisiweyo lamaSabatha ayo; olakeni lwakhe olwesabekayo, ukhukhulele khatshana oyinkosi longumphristi.
Asaanyizzaawo eweema ye n’efaanana ng’ennimiro, era azikirizza n’ekifo kye eky’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Mukama yeerabizza Sayuuni embaga ze entukuvu ne ssabbiiti, era mu busungu bwe obungi anyoomye kabaka ne kabona.
7 UThixo uselikhalele i-alithari lakhe, wafulathela indlu yakhe engcwele. Usenikele imithangala yezigodlo zakhe ezandleni zesitha; seziklabalala endlini kaThixo sengathi lilanga lomkhosi omisiweyo.
Mukama atamiddwa ekyoto kye, n’alekulira n’ekifo kye ekitukuvu. Awaddeyo bbugwe w’embiri ze eri omulabe; era baleekaanidde mu nnyumba ya Mukama, ne baleetamu oluyoogaano nga ku lunaku olw’embaga entukuvu.
8 UThixo wazimisela ukudilizela phansi umthangala ohonqolozele iNdodakazi yeZiyoni. Welula intambo yesilinganiso sakhe, akaze agodla isandla sakhe esibhidlizayo. Wenza izinsika lemithangala kwalila; kanyekanye kwatshabalala.
Mukama yamalirira okumenya bbugwe eyeetoolodde muwala wa Sayuuni, n’agolola omuguwa ogupima, Omukono gwe ne guteewala kuzikiriza. Yaleetera enkomera ne bbugwe okukungubaga, byonna ne biggweerera.
9 Amasango akhe asegqibelekile; izinti zawo zephulwe zabhidlizwa. Inkosi yayo lamakhosana ayo achithizelwe kwabezizwe, umthetho kawusekho, labaphrofethi bakhe kabasayamukeli imibono evela kuThixo.
Emiryango gye gisse mu ttaka, n’emitayimbwa gyagyo agimenye n’agyonoona. Kabaka we n’abakungu be baawaŋŋangusizibwa, eteri mateeka gaabwe agabafuga, era ne bannabbi be tebakyafuna kwolesebwa kuva eri Mukama.
10 Abadala beNdodakazi yeZiyoni bahlezi emhlabathini bathule zwi; bazithele ngothuli emakhanda abo, bazembathisa amasaka. Izintombi zeJerusalema zimbozele amakhanda azo phansi.
Abakadde b’Omuwala wa Sayuuni batuula wansi ku ttaka nga basiriikiridde; bayiye enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe era beesibye ebibukutu; n’abawala ba Yerusaalemi bakotese emitwe gyabwe.
11 Amehlo ami ayehluleka ngokukhala, ngiyatsha ngaphakathi kwami, inhliziyo yami idabukile, ngoba abantu bakithi babhujisiwe, njalo abantwana lensane ziyaqaleka emigwaqweni yomuzi.
Amaaso gange gakooye olw’okukaaba n’emmeeme yange enyiikadde n’omutima gwange gulumwa olw’okuzikirizibwa kw’abantu bange, n’olw’abaana abato n’abaana abawere okuzirikira wakati mu nguudo ez’omu kibuga.
12 Zithi kubonina, “Singaphi isinkwa lewayini?” zilokhu ziqaleka njengamadoda alimeleyo emigwaqweni yomuzi, ziphela umphefumulo ezandleni zabonina.
Bakaabirira bannyaabwe nga bwe boogera nti, “Omugaati n’envinnyo biri ludda wa?” nga bwe bazirika okufaanana ng’abaliko ebiwundu mu nguudo ez’ekibuga, nga bwe bakaabira mu bifuba bya bannyaabwe.
13 Kambe ngingathini kuwe na? Ngingakulinganisa lani, wena Ndodakazi yaseJerusalema? Kambe ngingakufanisa lani ukuze ngikududuze, wena Ndodakazi eGcweleyo yaseZiyoni? Inxeba lakho lizike njengolwandle. Ngubani ongakwelapha na?
Nnyinza kugamba ki, era kiki kye nnyinza okukugeraageranyaako ggwe Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi? Kiki kye nnyinza okukufaananya, okukusanyusa ggwe Omuwala Embeerera owa Sayuuni? Ekiwundu kyo kinene nnyo, kale ani ayinza okukiwonya?
14 Imibono yabaphrofethi bakho yayikhohlisa ingasizi lutho; kabasivezanga obala isono sakho ukuze ungehlelwa yikuthunjwa. Ukuvumisa abalenzela khona kwakungamanga, kulikhohlisa.
Okwolesebwa bannabbi bo kwe baafuna, kwali kwa bulimba era kwa butaliimu; tebaakutegeeza obutali butuukirivu bwo okukuwonya obusibe. Engero ze baabanyumizanga zaali za bulimba era eziwabya.
15 Bonke abedlula eceleni kwakho batshaya izandla ngawe; bahleka iNdodakazi yaseJerusalema baze banikine amakhanda besithi, “Kambe yiwo yini umuzi lo owawuthiwa yibuhle obupheleleyo, igugu lomhlaba wonke jikelele?”
Bonna abayitawo babakubira mu ngalo ne bafuuwa empa ne banyeenyeza omuwala wa Yerusaalemi emitwe gyabwe nga boogera nti, “Kino kye kibuga ekyayitibwanga ekituukiridde, era essanyu ly’ensi zonna?”
16 Zonke izitha zakho zikukhamisele imilomo; ziyakuhleka zikugedlela amazinyo zisithi, “Sesimnqobile. Selize lafika ilanga esasililindele; kade salilindela.”
Abalabe bo bonna baasaamiridde nga beewuunya; nga bafuuwa empa, era baluma amannyo nga boogera nti, “Tumuzikirizza. Luno lwe lunaku lwe twalindirira, kaakano lutuukiridde, era tululabye.”
17 UThixo usekwenzile ayekuhlosile; useligcwalisile ilizwi lakhe, alikhuluma kudala. Ukuwisile engakuzweli usizi, uvumele isitha santela phezu kwakho, uluphakamisile uphondo lwezitha zakho.
Mukama akoze kye yateekateeka, era atuukirizza ekigambo kye kye yalagira mu nnaku ez’edda. Akuzikirizza awatali kukusaasira, aleetedde omulabe wo okukusekerera, n’amaanyi g’abalabe bo agagulumizza.
18 Inhliziyo zabantu ziyakhala eNkosini. Awu, mthangala weNdodakazi yaseZiyoni, kazigeleze njengomfula inyembezi zakho, ebusuku lemini; ungaziphi ikhefu, lamehlo akho ungawaphi ukuphumula.
Kaabirira Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni. Leka amaziga go gakulukute ng’omugga emisana n’ekiro. Teweewummuza so toganya maaso go kuwummula.
19 Phakama, nqongoloza ebusuku, lapho kuqalisa imilindo yebusuku; thulula inhliziyo yakho njengamanzi phambi kukaThixo. Phakamisela izandla zakho kuye, uncengela impilo yabantwabakho, abaqalekiswa yindlala ekuqaliseni kwemigwaqo yonke.
Golokoka, okaabe ekiro obudde nga bwa kaziba; Fuka emmeeme yo ng’amazzi mu maaso ga Mukama. Yimusa emikono gyo gy’ali, olw’obulamu bw’abaana bo abato abazirise olw’enjala mu buli luguudo.
20 Ake ukhangele, Thixo, ube lozwelo: Ngubani osewake wamphatha kanje? Abesifazane badle inzalo yabo yini, abantwana ababondlileyo na? Umphristi lomphrofethi babulawe endlini engcwele kaThixo na?
“Tunula, Ayi Mukama Katonda osaasire! Ani gwe wali obonerezza bw’otyo? Ddala, abakyala balye ebibala by’embuto zaabwe, abaana be bakuzizza? Ddala, bakabona ne bannabbi battibwe mu watukuvu wa Mukama?
21 Abatsha labadala babhazalele ndawonye ebhuqwini lwemigwaqo; izinsizwa zami lezintombi zibulewe ngenkemba. Ubabulele ngosuku lokuthukuthela kwakho; awaze waba lesihawu lapho ubabulala.
“Abato n’abakulu bonna bafiiridde wamu mu nfuufu ey’enguudo; abavubuka bange ne bawala bange battiddwa n’ekitala; obattidde ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwo, era obasse awatali kusaasira.
22 “Njengokunxusela idili, wanginxusela izitha inxa zonke. Ngosuku lolaka lukaThixo, kakho owaphunyukayo loba owasilayo; bonke engangibanakekela lengabondlayo babulewe yisitha sami.”
“Nga bw’oyita abantu ku lunaku olw’embaga, bw’otyo bw’ompitidde ebikemo ku njuyi zonna; era ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwa Mukama, tewali n’omu eyasimattuka newaakubadde eyasigalawo; abo be nalabirira ne nkuza, omulabe wange be yazikiriza.”
