1 Imilando 17
1 Kwasekusithi uDavida esehlezi endlini yakhe, uDavida wathi kuNathani umprofethi: Khangela, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari, kodwa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi ungaphansi kwamakhetheni.
Awo Dawudi ng’amaze okukkalira mu nnyumba ye mu lubiri, n’agamba nnabbi Nasani nti, “Teebereza, nze mbeera mu lubiri olwazimbibwa n’emivule, naye nga essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama ebeera mu weema.”
2 UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulawe.
Nasani n’addamu Dawudi nti, “Ky’olowooza kyonna mu mutima gwo kikole, kubanga Katonda ali wamu naawe.”
3 Kodwa kwathi ngabona lobobusuku ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuNathani, lisithi:
Ekiro ekyo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Nasani nti,
4 Hamba utshele uDavida inceku yami: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Wena kawuyikungakhela indlu yokuhlala.
“Genda otegeeze omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti si gwe ojja okunzimbira ennyumba mwe nnaabeeranga.
5 Ngoba kangihlalanga endlini kusukela osukwini engenyusa ngalo uIsrayeli kuze kube lamuhla, kodwa ngasuka ethenteni ngaya ethenteni njalo ngasuka ethabhanekeleni ngaya kwelinye.
Sibeeranga mu nnyumba kasookedde nzija Isirayiri mu Misiri, okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero. Nvudde mu weema emu ne nzira mu ndala, ne nva mu kifo ekimu ne nzira mu kirala.
6 Loba ngaphi engihambe khona loIsrayeli wonke ngake ngakhuluma ilizwi yini komunye wabahluleli bakoIsrayeli, engabalaya ukwelusa abantu bami ngisithi: Yini lingangakhelanga indlu yemisedari?
Mu bifo byonna bye ntambuddemu ne Isirayiri yenna, nnina kye nnali ŋŋambye omulamuzi wa Isirayiri, kw’abo be nalagira okukulembera abantu bange nti, “Kiki ekibalobedde, okunzimbira ennyumba ey’emivule?”’
7 Ngakho-ke uzakutsho njalo encekwini yami uDavida uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Mina ngakuthatha esibayeni sezimvu ekulandeleni izimvu ukuze ube ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.
“Kaakano nno tegeeza omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye nti, nakuggya ku ttale ng’olunda ndiga, ne nkufuula omukulembeze ow’abantu bange Isirayiri.
8 Njalo ngaba lawe loba ngaphi oya khona, ngaquma zonke izitha zakho zasuka phambi kwakho, ngakwenzela ibizo njengebizo labakhulu abasemhlabeni.
Mbadde naawe buli gy’ogenze, era nzikiririzza abalabe bo bonna mu maaso go. Ndifuula erinnya lyo okuba ekkulu, ne liba ng’erimu ku g’abasajja abamanyiddwa mu nsi.
9 Njalo ngizabamisela indawo abantu bami uIsrayeli, ngibagxumeke ukuze bahlale endaweni yabo, bangabe besanyikinywa; labantwana bobubi kabasayikubamotsha njengakuqala,
Era abantu bange Isirayiri ndibawa ekifo, kibeere ekifo kyabwe eky’olubeerera, nga tebatawanyizibwa, n’abantu ababi tebalibacocca, nga bwe baakolanga olubereberye,
10 njalo kusukela kulezonsuku engalaya abahluleli ukuthi babe phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; ngazehlisela phansi zonke izitha zakho; njalo ngiyakutshela ukuthi iNKOSI izakwakhela indlu.
era nga bwe bakola kati kasookedde nnonda abalamuzi okufuga abantu bange Isirayiri. Ndikuwa obuwanguzi okuba omukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri. Ndikuwa obuwanguzi eri abalabe bo bonna. “‘Nkirangirira gy’oli kaakano nti Mukama alikuzimbira ennyumba:
11 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho insuku zakho sezigcwalisekile ukuthi uhambe laboyihlo, ngizavusa inzalo yakho emva kwakho, ezavela emadodaneni akho, ngiqinise umbuso wayo.
Ennaku zo bwe zirituuka, era n’ogenda okubeera ne bajjajjaabo, ndiyimusa ezzadde lyo okuba obusika bwo, omu ku batabani bo ddala, era ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe.
12 Yena uzangakhela indlu, ngizaqinisa isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube nininini.
Oyo y’alinzimbira ennyumba, era ndinyweza entebe ey’obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna.
13 Mina ngizakuba nguyise, yena abe yindodana yami; njalo kangiyikususa uthandolomusa wami kuye njengalokho ngalususa kulowo owayengaphambi kwakho.
Ndiba kitaawe, naye aliba mwana wange, era sirimukyawa, nga bwe nakyawa oyo eyakusooka.
14 Kodwa ngizamqinisa endlini yami lembusweni wami kuze kube nininini, lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sizaqiniswa kuze kube nininini.
Ye y’aliba omukulu mu nnyumba yange ne mu bwakabaka bwange emirembe gyonna, era entebe ye ey’obwakabaka eribeerera emirembe gyonna.’”
15 Njengawo wonke lamazwi lanjengawo wonke lumbono, ngokunjalo uNathani wakhuluma kuDavida.
Awo Nasani n’ategeeza Dawudi ebigambo byonna eby’okubikkulirwa okwo.
16 Inkosi uDavida yasingena yahlala phambi kweNkosi, yathi: Mina ngingubani, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, lendlu yami iyini, ukuthi ungilethe kuze kube lapha?
Awo Kabaka Dawudi n’agenda n’atuula mu maaso ga Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Nze ani, Ayi Mukama Katonda, era ennyumba yange kye ki, gwe okuntuusa wano?
17 Lokhu bekukuncinyane emehlweni akho, Nkulunkulu; usukhulumile ngendlu yenceku yakho kusesekhatshana, wangibona ngokwesikhundla somuntu ophakemeyo, Nkosi Nkulunkulu.
Kino tekyali kitono mu maaso go, okwogera ku bigenda okuba ku nnyumba ey’omuddu wo, n’ontunuulira ng’omu ku basajja abasingirayo ddala ekitiibwa, Ayi Mukama Katonda.
18 UDavida angenzani okunye kuwe ngodumo lwenceku yakho? Ngoba wena uyayazi inceku yakho.
“Dawudi ayinza kwongerako ki ku ebyo okumuwa ekitiibwa bwe kityo, kubanga ggwe omanyi omuddu wo.
19 Nkosi, ngenxa yenceku yakho langokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile zonke lezizinto ezinkulu ukwazisa zonke lezizinto ezinkulu.
Olw’omuddu wo Ayi Mukama Katonda, n’olw’okusiima kwo, okoze ebintu bino ebikulu, era n’osuubiza ebintu ebyo byonna ebikulu bwe bityo.
20 Nkosi, kakho onjengawe, njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho, njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngendlebe zethu.
“Tewaliwo akufaanana, Ayi Mukama, era tewali Katonda mulala wabula ggwe, okusinziira ku bye twewuliridde n’amatu gaffe.
21 Njalo ngubani onjengabantu bakho uIsrayeli, isizwe esisodwa emhlabeni, uNkulunkulu owayazihlengela sona sibe ngabantu, ukuzenzela ibizo ngezenzo ezinkulu lezesabekayo, ngokuxotsha elifeni izizwe ukuzisusa phambi kwabantu bakho owabahlenga eGibhithe?
Era ggwanga ki mu nsi erifaanana ng’abantu bo Isirayiri, eggwanga Katonda lye wanunula ggwe kennyini, ne weekolera erinnya, era n’okola ebikolwa eby’amaanyi, n’ebyewunyisa bwe wagoba amawanga okuva mu maaso g’abantu bo, be wanunula okuva mu Misiri?
22 Ngoba wenza abantu bakho uIsrayeli ukuthi babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube nininini; lawe Nkosi waba nguNkulunkulu wabo.
Abantu bo Abayisirayiri wabafuulira ddala babo emirembe gyonna, era ggwe Ayi Mukama wafuuka Katonda waabwe.
23 Khathesi-ke, Nkosi, ilizwi owalikhuluma ngenceku yakho langendlu yayo kaliqiniswe kuze kube nininini, wenze njengokukhuluma kwakho.
“Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda, kye wasuubiza omuddu wo n’ennyumba ye kinywezebwe emirembe gyonna.
24 Yebo kaliqiniswe, lebizo lakho kalibe likhulu kuze kube nininini, kuthiwa: INkosi yamabandla inguNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, nguNkulunkulu koIsrayeli; lendlu kaDavida inceku yakho kayimiswe phambi kwakho.
Kola nga bwe wasuubiza, erinnya lyo ligulumizibwenga emirembe gyonna, n’abantu boogerenga nti, Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda afuga Isirayiri, ye Katonda wa Isirayiri! Era ennyumba ey’omuddu wo Dawudi erinywezebwa mu maaso go.
25 Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu wami, wembule endlebeni yenceku yakho ukuthi uzayakhela indlu; ngenxa yalokho inceku yakho ithole enhliziyweni ukukhuleka phambi kwakho.
“Ayi Katonda wange, wakibikulidde omuddu wo nti olimuzimbira ennyumba, era omuddu wo kyavudde ajja okukwebaza.
26 Khathesi-ke, Nkosi, wena unguye uNkulunkulu, ukhulume lokhu okuhle ngenceku yakho.
Ggwe Ayi Mukama oli Katonda, era osuubizza omuddu wo ebirungi ebyo.
27 Khathesi-ke, kukuthokozisile ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuze ibe phambi kwakho kuze kube nininini; ngoba, wena Nkosi, uyabusisa, njalo izabusiswa kuze kube nini lanini.
Kaakano osiimye okuwa ennyumba ey’omuddu wo omukisa, ebeerewo emirembe gyonna mu maaso go kubanga, ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda ogiwadde omukisa, era egya kuba ya mukisa emirembe gyonna.”
