Izaga 8
1 Ukuhlakanipha kakumemezi yini? Ukuqedisisa kakuphakamisi ilizwi lakho na?
Amagezi tegakoowoolera waggulu, n’okutegeera ne kuyimusa eddoboozi lyakwo?
2 Emiqolweni yezindlela, emahlanganweni ezindlela kulapho okujame khona;
Ku ntikko y’ebifo ebigulumivu okumpi n’ekkubo, mu masaŋŋanzira, amagezi we gayimirira butengerera,
3 emasangweni angena phakathi kwedolobho, ezintubeni kuyamemeza kakhulu kusithi:
ku mabbali g’enzigi eziyingira mu kibuga, ku miryango, gakoowoolera waggulu nga gagamba nti,
4 “Ngimemeza lina, madoda; ilizwi lami libiza bonke abantu.
Mmwe abantu, mmwe b’empita; nnyimusa eddoboozi lyange eri buli omu ali ku nsi.
5 Lina eliyizithutha, zuzani ukuqonda; lina ziphukuphuku, zuzani ukuqedisisa.
Mmwe abatategeera mufune okutegeera; nammwe abasirusiru mufune amagezi.
6 Lalelani ngoba ngilitshela izinto eziqakathekileyo; ngivula izindebe zami ngikhuluma okuqondileyo.
Muwulirize kubanga nnina ebintu ebikulu eby’okubagamba, era mu kamwa kange muvaamu ebituufu.
7 Umlomo wami ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ngoba izindebe zami ziyabenyanya ububi.
Akamwa kange koogera bituufu byereere; kubanga emimwa gyange gikyawa ebitali bya butuukirivu.
8 Wonke amazwi omlomo wami aqondile; kalikho lelilodwa elitshekileyo loba elingcolileyo.
Ebigambo by’emimwa gyange byonna bya bwenkanya tewali na kimu kikyamu oba kya bukuusa.
9 Kulowo ozwisisayo wonke alungile; akulankohliso kulabo abalolwazi.
Ebigambo byange byonna bitegeerekeka eri oyo ategeera, era tebirina kabi eri oyo alina amagezi.
10 Khetha iseluleko sami kulesiliva, ulwazi kulegolide elikhethiweyo,
Mu kifo kya ffeeza, londawo okuyigiriza kwange, era n’okumanya mu kifo kya zaabu ennongoose obulungi,
11 ngoba ukuhlakanipha kuligugu okudlula amarubhi, njalo akulanto ongayifisa ezifisweni zakho okulingana lakho.
kubanga amagezi gasinga amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi, era n’ebyo byonna bye weegomba tebiyinza kugeraageranyizibwa nago.
12 Mina, kuhlakanipha, ngihlala ndawonye lokuqondisisa; ngilolwazi lokukhetha kuhle.
Nze Magezi, mbeera wamu n’okuteesa okulungi, era mu nze mulimu okumanya n’okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi.
13 Ukwesaba uThixo yikuzonda ububi; ngiyakuzonda ukuzazisa lobuqholo, ukuziphatha kubi lenkulumo ebolileyo.
Okutya Mukama kwe kukyawa ekibi; nkyawa amalala n’okwemanya, n’obuteeyisa bulungi n’enjogera ey’obubambaavu.
14 Ukweluleka lokwahlulela okuhle kungokwami; ngilokuzwisisa lamandla.
Okuteesa okulungi n’okusalawo okw’amagezi bye byange; ntegeera era ndi wa buyinza.
15 Amakhosi abusa ngenxa yami lababusi balakho ukutshaya imithetho elungileyo;
Ku bwange, Magezi, bakabaka bafuga, abafuzi ne bakola amateeka ag’obwenkanya.
16 amakhosana abusa ngami, lazozonke izikhulu ezibusa emhlabeni.
Abalangira bafuga ku bwange, n’abakungu bonna abafuga ku nsi.
17 Ngiyabathanda labo abangithandayo, labo abangidingayo bayangithola.
Njagala abo abanjagala, n’abo abanyiikira okunnoonya bandaba.
18 Kimi kukhona inotho lodumo, inotho engapheliyo lokuphumelela.
Obugagga n’ekitiibwa biri mu nze, obugagga obutakoma n’okukulaakulana.
19 Izithelo zami zingcono kulegolide elicengiweyo; okuphuma kimi kwedlula isiliva sekhethelo.
Ekibala kyange kisinga zaabu ennongoose, n’ebinvaamu bisinga ffeeza ey’omuwendo omungi.
20 Ngihamba ngendlela yokulunga, ngilandela umkhondo wokuqonda,
Ntambulira mu kkubo ery’obutuukirivu, mu kkubo ery’obwenkanya,
21 ngiyabela inotho kulabo abangithandayo ngigcwalise iziphala zabo.
n’abo abanjagala mbagaggawaza era nzijuza amawanika gaabwe.
22 UThixo wangenza ngaba khona ngaqalela konke okukhona, kuqala kokwenza ezinye izinto;
Mukama nze gwe yasooka okwoleka nga tannabaako kirala ky’akola.
23 ngaba khona ekudabukeni kwezinto, kwasekuqaleni, umhlaba ungakabi khona.
Nateekebwawo dda nnyo, ku lubereberye ng’ensi tennabaawo.
24 Kungakabi lezilwandle, ngasengizelwe, kungakabi khona izihotsha ezigcwele amanzi;
Nateekebwawo ng’obuziba bw’ennyanja tebunnateekebwawo, nga n’emigga egireeta amazzi teginnabaawo,
25 izintaba zingakamiswa ensikeni zazo, engakabi khona amaqaqa, ngasengizelwe,
ng’ensozi tezinnateekebwa mu bifo byazo, nga n’obusozi tebunnabaawo;
26 uThixo engakawenzi umhlaba lamaganga, loba lonke uthuli lomhlaba.
nga tannakola nsi newaakubadde amalundiro gaakwo, wadde enfuufu eyasooka ey’oku nsi.
27 Ngangikhona uThixo ehlela kuhle izulu, ephawula kuhle imingcele yomkhathi lolwandle,
Naliwo ng’ateekawo eggulu mu kifo kyalyo, ne bwe yakola enkulungo kungulu ku buziba,
28 esenza amayezi emkhathini wazizinzisa inziki zolwandle,
ate ne bwe yawanika ebire n’abinywereza waggulu mu bbanga, n’anywereza ddala ensulo z’amazzi,
29 ebeka imingcele yolwandle ukuze amanzi angedluli izimiso zakhe, ngesikhathi lapho emisa izisekelo zomhlaba.
bwe yawa ennyanja ensalo zaazo we zikoma, amazzi galeme kusukka we yagalagira, ne bwe yali ng’alamba emisingi gy’ensi.
30 Ngalesosikhathi ngangingumbumbi eceleni kwakhe. Ngangilenjabulo enkulu insuku ngensuku, ngithokoza ukuba laye kokuphela,
Nnali naye ng’omukozi omukugu, nga nzijudde essanyu lye erya buli lunaku, nga nsanyukira mu maaso ge bulijjo,
31 ngithokoza ngomhlaba wakhe wonke ngijabuliswa yibukhona babantu.
nga nsanyukira mu nsi ye yonna, era nga ne nesiima olw’abaana b’abantu.
32 Ngakho-ke, madodana ami, ngilalelani; babusisekile labo abalondoloza izindlela zami.
Kale nno, batabani bange mumpulirize; balina omukisa abo abakwata amakubo gange!
33 Lalelani imfundiso yami ukuze lihlakaniphe; lingaqali ukuyidela.
Muwulirizenga okuyigirizibwa, mubenga n’amagezi, so temugalekanga.
34 Ubusisiwe lowomuntu ongilalelayo, olinda imihla yonke eminyango yami, elindile entubeni yami.
Alina omukisa omuntu ampuliriza, alindirira nga bw’akuuma ku nzigi zange buli lunaku.
35 Ngoba lowo ongifumanayo uzuza ukuphila emukeliswe ukuthandwa nguThixo.
Kubanga buli andaba afuna obulamu, era afuna okuganja eri Mukama.
36 Kodwa lowo owehlulekayo ukungifumana uyazilimaza; bonke abangizondayo bathanda ukufa.”
Oyo atannoonya yeerumya yekka, era n’abo bonna abankyawa banoonya kufa.
