UMikha 4
1 Ngezinsuku zokucina intaba yethempeli likaThixo izamiswa njengenhloko phakathi kwezintaba; izaphakanyiselwa phezu kwezintaba njalo izizwe zizabekelela zisiya kuyo.
Mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma olusozi lw’ennyumba ya Mukama luligulumizibwa okusinga ensozi zonna; lulisitulibwa waggulu okusukkuluma ku busozi, era abantu balisimba ennyiriri nga balaga gye luli.
2 Izizwe ezinengi zizafika zithi, “Wozani siye phezu kwentaba kaThixo, siye ethempelini likaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe. Uzasifundisa izindlela zakhe, ukuze sihambe emikhondweni yakhe.” Umthetho uzavela eZiyoni, ilizwi likaThixo livele eJerusalema.
Amawanga mangi galiragayo ne googera nti, “Mujje twambuke ku lusozi lwa Mukama, mu nnyumba ya Katonda wa Yakobo. Alituyigiriza by’ayagala tulyoke tutambulire mu makubo ge.” Alisinziira mu Sayuuni okuwa abantu etteeka lye, n’ekigambo kya Mukama kiriva mu Yerusaalemi.
3 Uzakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe ezinengi alamule lezingxabano zezizwe ezilamandla ezindaweni ezikhatshana. Bazakhanda izinkemba zabo zibe yimihlathi yamakhuba, lemikhonto yabo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla. Isizwe asiyikuhlomela isizwe ngenkemba loba sifundele ukulwa impi futhi.
Aliramula amawanga atereeze ensonga wakati w’amawanga gakirimaanyi ag’ewala. Baliddira ebitala byabwe ne babiweesaamu enkumbi, n’amafumu gaabwe ne bagaweesaamu ebiwabyo. Eggwanga teririyimusa kitala ku ggwanga linnaalyo, so tebalyetegeka kulwana ntalo nate.
4 Umuntu wonke uzahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe sevini langaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe somkhiwa, njalo kakho ozabenza besabe, ngoba uThixo uSomandla usekhulumile.
Buli muntu aliba mu ddembe wansi w’omuzabbibu gwe ne mu mutiini gwe. Tewalibaawo abatiisa kubanga akamwa ka Mukama Ayinzabyonna ke kakyogedde.
5 Zonke izizwe zingahamba ebizweni labonkulunkulu bazo; thina sizahamba ebizweni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube laphakade.
Newaakubadde nga amawanga gonna galigoberera bakatonda baago, naye ffe tunaatambuliranga mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda waffe emirembe n’emirembe.
6 “Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo, “ngizabutha abaqhulayo; ngizaqoqa abathunjwayo lalabo engabehlisela usizi.
“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “Ndikuŋŋaanya abalema, n’abo abaawaŋŋangusibwa n’abo abali mu nnaku.
7 Ngizakwenza abaqhulayo babe yinsalela, abaxotshwayo babe yisizwe esilamandla. UThixo uzababusa eNtabeni iZiyoni, kusukela ngalolosuku kuze kube nininini.
Abalema ndibafuula abalonde, n’abo be nagoba, mbafuule eggwanga ery’amaanyi. Mukama alibafugira mu Lusozi Sayuuni okuva ku lunaku olwo okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
8 Wena nqaba yokulinda yomhlambi, wena nqaba yeNdodakazi yeZiyoni, umbuso wakuqala uzabuyiselwa kuwe; ubukhosi buzakuza eNdodakazini yaseJerusalema.”
Ggwe omunaala oguyimirirwamu okulabirira endiga, ggwe ekigo eky’amaanyi ekya Muwala wa Sayuuni, ekitiibwa kyo eky’edda kirikuddira, n’obwakabaka ne bukomawo eri Muwala wa Sayuuni.”
9 Kungani khathesi usukhala kakhulu, kawulankosi na? Umeluleki wakho usebhubhile na, ukuba uphathwe yibuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ohelelwayo?
Naye kaakano kiki ekibakaabya ennyo bwe mutyo? Temulina kabaka abakulembera? Omuwi w’amagezi wammwe yafa, ennaku eryoke ebakwate ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala?
10 Janqula ngobuhlungu, wena Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, njengowesifazane ohelelwayo, ngoba khathesi sekumele usuke kulelidolobho uyehlala egangeni. Uzakuya eBhabhiloni; lapho ozahlengwa khona. Khonale uThixo uzakukhulula ezandleni zezitha zakho.
Lumwa, weenyoole ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala. Kubanga kaakano oteekwa okuva mu kibuga ogende obeere ku ttale. Mulitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni, era eyo gye ndibalokolera. Ndibanunulira eyo okuva mu mukono gw’omulabe.
11 Kodwa khathesi izizwe ezinengi zikujamele. Zithi, “Kangcoliswe, lamehlo ethu kawahawukele iZiyoni!”
Kyokka kaakano amawanga mangi gakuŋŋaanye okubalwanyisa. Boogera nti, Ayonoonebwe, n’amaaso gaffe geelolere Sayuuni.
12 Kodwa kabayazi imicabango kaThixo; kabaliqedisisi icebo lakhe, yena obabutha njengezixha zamabele esizeni.
Naye tebamanyi birowoozo bya Mukama; tebategeera kuteesa kwe; oyo akuŋŋaanya abalabe be ng’ebinywa by’eŋŋaano bwe bikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu gguuliro.
13 “Sukuma ubhule, wena Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, ngoba ngizakupha impondo zensimbi; ngizakunika amasondo ethusi, njalo uzachoboza izizwe ezinengi.” Uzanikela kuThixo inzuzo yabo eyatholwa ngobuqili inotho yabo kuThixo womhlaba wonke.
“Golokoka otandike okusa ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni, kubanga ejjembe lyo ndirifuula ekyuma; ndikuwa ebigere eby’ekyuma eky’ekikomo era olibetenta amawanga mangi.” Amagoba gaabwe n’ebintu byabwe bye bafunye mu makubo amakyamu olibiwaayo eri Mukama, n’obugagga bwabwe n’obuwaayo eri Mukama w’ensi zonna.
