2 Imilando 6

1 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wathi: UJehova wathi uzahlala emnyameni onzima.

Mu kiseera ekyo Sulemaani n’ayogera nti, “Mukama eyagamba nti Alituula mu kizikiza ekikutte;

2 Kodwa mina ngikwakhele indlu yokuhlala, lendawo yokuhlala kwakho kuze kube nini lanini.

nkuzimbidde yeekaalu ey’ekitiibwa, ekifo ky’onoobeerangamu emirembe gyonna.”

3 Inkosi yasiphendula ubuso bayo, yabusisa ibandla lonke lakoIsrayeli; ibandla lonke-ke lakoIsrayeli lalimi.

Awo kabaka n’akyuka n’atunuulira ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri ekyali kiyimiridde awo, n’abasabira omukisa.

4 Yasisithi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, eyakhuluma ngomlomo wayo kuDavida ubaba yakugcwalisa ngezandla zayo, isithi:

N’ayogera nti, “Yeebazibwe Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, atuukiriza n’omukono gwe ekyo kye yasuubiza n’akamwa ke eri Dawudi kitange, ng’agamba nti,

5 Kusukela ngosuku engakhupha ngalo abantu bami elizweni leGibhithe kangikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli ukwakha indlu, ukuthi ibizo lami libe lapho, kangikhethanga muntu ukuba ngumkhokheli phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.

“‘Okuva ku lunaku lwe naggya abantu bange mu nsi y’e Misiri, tewali kibuga kye nnalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri okuzimba mu eyeekaalu olw’erinnya lyange, wadde omuntu yenna okuba omukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri.

6 Kodwa ngakhetha iJerusalema ukuthi ibizo lami libe lapho, ngakhetha uDavida ukuthi abe phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.

Naye kaakano nnonze Yerusaalemi okubeeramu Erinnya lyange, era nnonze Dawudi okufuga abantu bange Isirayiri.’

7 Njalo kwakusenhliziyweni kaDavida ubaba ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, indlu.

“Kitange Dawudi yali akiteeseteese mu mutima gwe okuzimbira Erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri eyeekaalu.

8 Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuDavida ubaba: Njengoba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho ukwakhela ibizo lami indlu, wenze kuhle ngokuthi kwakusenhliziyweni yakho.

Naye Mukama n’agamba kitange Dawudi nti, ‘Newaakubadde nga kyali mu mutima gwo okuzimbira Erinnya lyange eyeekaalu, era wakola bulungi okuba nakyo mu mutima gwo,

9 Lanxa kunjalo kawuyikuyakha indlu wena, kodwa indodana yakho ezaphuma ekhalweni lwakho, yiyo ezakwakhela ibizo lami indlu.

naye si ggwe olizimba yeekaalu eyo, wabula mutabani wo, ow’omubiri gwo n’omusaayi gwo; y’alizimbira Erinnya lyange eyeekaalu.’

10 INkosi isiqinisile ilizwi layo eyalikhulumayo, ngoba ngivelile esikhundleni sikaDavida ubaba, ngihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli, njengokukhuluma kweNkosi; sengilakhele ibizo leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, indlu.

“Kaakano, Mukama atuukirizza kye yasuubiza. Nsikidde Dawudi kitange, era ntudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri, nga Mukama bwe yasuubiza, era nzimbidde Erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri eyeekaalu.

11 Ngiwubeke khona umtshokotsho lapho okulesivumelwano seNkosi khona eyasenza labantwana bakoIsrayeli.

Era omwo mwe ntadde essanduuko, omuli endagaano eya Mukama ggye yakola n’abantu ba Isirayiri.”

12 Wasesima phambi kwelathi leNkosi maqondana lebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli, welula izandla zakhe.

Awo Sulemaani n’ayimirira mu maaso g’ekyoto kya Mukama mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri, n’ayimusa emikono gye.

13 Ngoba uSolomoni wayenze isitubhu sethusi, ubude baso buzingalo ezinhlanu, lobubanzi baso buzingalo ezinhlanu, lokuphakama kwaso kuzingalo ezintathu, wasimisa phakathi laphakathi kweguma. Wema phezu kwaso, waguqa ngamadolo akhe phambi kwebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli, welulela izandla zakhe emazulwini,

Yali akoze ekituuti eky’ekikomo, ekyali mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu obuwanvu n’obugazi mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu, n’obugulumivu mita emu ne desimoolo ssatu, era ng’akitadde wakati mu luggya olw’ebweru era kye yali ayimiriddeko. N’afukamira mu maaso g’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri, n’ayimusa emikono gye eri eggulu.

14 wathi: Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kakho uNkulunkulu onjengawe emazulwini lemhlabeni, ogcina isivumelwano lomusa ezincekwini zakho ezihamba phambi kwakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yazo,

N’ayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri tewali Katonda akufaanana mu ggulu newaakubadde ku nsi, atuukiriza endagaano ye ey’okwagala eri abaddu be abatambulira mu maaso ge n’emitima gyabwe gyonna.

15 ogcinele inceku yakho uDavida ubaba lokho owakutsho kuyo; ngoba wakhuluma ngomlomo wakho usukugcwalisile ngesandla sakho njengalamuhla.

Otuukirizza ekyo kye wasuubiza omuddu wo Dawudi kitange, kubanga wasuubiza n’akamwa ko, era okituukirizza n’omukono gwo leero.

16 Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, gcinela inceku yakho uDavida ubaba lokho owakutsho kuyo usithi: Kakuyikusweleka umuntu kuwe phambi kobuso bami ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli; kuphela uba abantwana bakho beqaphela indlela yabo phambi kwami, ukuthi bahambe ngomlayo wami, njengalokho uhambile phambi kwami.

“Kaakano Ayi Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, tuukiriza ebyo bye wasuubiza Dawudi kitange bwe wayogera nti, ‘Tolirema kufuna musika mu maaso gange kutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri, ab’ezzadde lyo bwe baneegenderezanga okutambuliranga mu maaso gange ng’etteeka lyange bwe liri, nga ggwe bw’otambulidde mu maaso gange.’

17 Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kaliqiniseke ilizwi lakho owalikhuluma encekwini yakho, kuDavida.

Kale nno, Ayi Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ekigambo kyo kye wasuubiza Dawudi omuddu wo kituukirire.

18 Kambe ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu angahlala labantu emhlabeni? Khangela, amazulu, yebo, amazulu amazulu angekwanele; kangakanani-ke lindlu engiyakhileyo?

“Naye ddala Katonda alituula n’abantu ku nsi? Laba, eggulu n’eggulu erisinga okuba erya waggulu toligyamu, kale ate olwo yeekaalu gye nzimbye gy’oyinza okugyamu?

19 Kodwa phendukela emkhulekweni wenceku yakho lekuncengeni kwayo, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ukuzwa ukukhala lomkhuleko inceku yakho ekukhulekayo phambi kwakho.

Wuliriza okusaba kw’omuddu wo n’okwegayirira kwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, owulire okusaba kw’omuddu wo kwasaba gy’oli.

20 Ukuze amehlo akho avulekele lindlu emini lebusuku, endaweni owatsho ngayo ukuthi uzabeka ibizo lakho khona, ukuthi uwuzwe umkhuleko inceku yakho ewukhulekayo ikhangele kulindawo.

Amaaso go gatunuulirenga eyeekaalu eno emisana n’ekiro, ekifo kye wayogerako nti oliteeka omwo Erinnya lyo, era owulire okusaba kw’omuddu wo eri ekifo kino.

21 Ngakho zwana ukuncenga kwenceku yakho lokwabantu bakho uIsrayeli abazakukhuleka bekhangele kulindawo; yebo, uzwe wena, usendaweni yakho yokuhlala, usemazulwini; lapho usizwa, uthethelele.

Wulira kaakano okwegayirira kw’omuddu wo n’okw’abantu bo Isirayiri, bwe banaabanga basaba nga batunuulidde ekifo kino; owulirenga okuva mu kifo eyo gy’obeera, era bw’owuliranga, osonyiwenga.

22 Uba umuntu esona kumakhelwane wakhe, amethese isifungo ukumenza afunge, njalo isifungo size phambi kwelathi lakho kulindlu,

“Omuntu bw’anaayonoonanga ku muliraanwa we, ne kimugwanira okulayira, era n’ajja n’alayira mu maaso g’ekyoto mu yeekaalu eno,

23 zwana-ke wena usemazulwini, njalo yenza wahlulele inceku zakho, ngokuphindisela okhohlakeleyo, ngokunika indlela yakhe ekhanda lakhe, langokulungisisa olungileyo, ngokumnika njengokulunga kwakhe.

owulirenga okuva mu ggulu, obeeko ky’okola. Osalenga omusango wakati w’abaddu bo osasulenga gwe gusinze, ng’ebikolwa bye bwe bimusaanira. Oyatulenga atalina musango, era omusasulenga ng’obutuukirivu bwe, bwe bunaabanga.

24 Lalapho abantu bakho uIsrayeli betshaywa phambi kwesitha, ngoba bonile kuwe, uba bephenduka, balivume ibizo lakho, bakhuleke bencenga phambi kwakho kulindlu,

“Abantu bo Isirayiri bwe banaabanga bawanguddwa omulabe olw’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, naye ne bakyuka ne baatula erinnya lyo, ne basaba ne beegayiririra mu maaso go mu yeekaalu eno,

25 zwana-ke wena usemazulwini, uthethelele isono sabantu bakho uIsrayeli, ubabuyisele elizweni owalinika bona laboyise.

kale owulirenga ng’osinziira mu ggulu, osonyiwe ekibi ky’abantu bo Isirayiri era obakomyewo mu nsi gye wabawa bo ne bajjajjaabwe.

26 Lapho amazulu evaliwe, njalo kungelazulu, ngoba bonile kuwe, uba bekhuleka bekhangele kulindawo belivuma ibizo lakho, baphenduke esonweni sabo, nxa ubahluphile,

“Eggulu bwe linaggalwangawo ne wataba nkuba, kubanga boonoonye gy’oli, naye ne basaba nga batunuulidde ekifo kino, ne baatula erinnya lyo, ne bakyuka okuleka ekibi kyabwe ekibaweezesezza ekibonerezo,

27 zwana-ke wena usemazulwini, uthethelele isono senceku zakho lesabantu bakho uIsrayeli, usubafundise indlela enhle abazahamba ngayo; unise izulu elizweni lakho owalinika abantu bakho libe yilifa labo.

kale owulirenga ng’osinziira mu ggulu, osonyiwe ekibi ky’abaddu bo, abantu bo Isirayiri, obayigirize ekkubo eggolokofu, lye bateekwa okutambulirangamu, era obaweereze enkuba ku nsi gye wawa abantu bo, obusika bwo.

28 Uba kulendlala elizweni, uba kulomatshayabhuqe wesifo, uba kulokutshisa, lengumane, isikhonyane, lemihogoyi; uba izitha zabo zibavimbezela elizweni lesango labo, loba yiyiphi inhlupheko laloba yiwuphi umkhuhlane;

“Bwe wanaagwangawo enjala oba kawumpuli mu nsi, oba ne wabaawo okugengewala oba obukuku, oba enzige oba ebisaanyi, oba abalabe baabwe ne babazingiriza mu bibuga byabwe wadde ne bw’anaabanga kawumpuli ow’engeri etya, oba bulwadde bwa ngeri ki,

29 lawuphi umkhuleko, lakuphi ukuncenga, okuzakwenziwa languwuphi umuntu, kumbe yibo bonke abantu bakho uIsrayeli, lapho besazi, ngulowo lalowo inhlupheko yakhe losizi lwakhe, eselulela izandla zakhe kulindlu;

ne wabaawo okusaba oba okwegayirira okw’engeri zonna okukoleddwa omuntu yenna, oba abantu bo bonna Isirayiri, nga buli omu ategedde endwadde ye, n’obuyinike bwe, era ng’ayanjulurizza engalo ze eri yeekaalu eno,

30 zwana-ke wena usemazulwini, indawo yakho yokuhlala, uthethelele, uphe ngulowo lalowo ngokwezindlela zakhe zonke, onhliziyo yakhe uyayazi, ngoba nguwe wedwa owazi inhliziyo yabantwana babantu,

kale owulirenga ng’osinziira mu ggulu gy’obeera osonyiwe, era osasule buli muntu ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri, kubanga ggwe wekka gw’omanyi emitima gy’abaana b’abantu;

31 ukuze bakwesabe bahambe endleleni zakho insuku zonke abaziphila ebusweni bomhlaba owawupha obaba.

balyoke bakutyenga, era batambulirenga mu makubo go ennaku zonna ze banaabeeranga mu nsi gye wawa bajjajjaffe.

32 Njalo mayelana lowezizweni ongesuye owabantu bakho uIsrayeli, kodwa evela elizweni elikhatshana ngenxa yebizo lakho elikhulu lesandla sakho esilamandla lengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; lapho besizakhuleka kulindlu,

“Era mu ngeri y’emu, bwe wanaabangawo munnaggwanga atali wa ku bantu bo Isirayiri, ng’ava mu nsi ey’ewala, olw’erinnya lyo ekkulu, n’olw’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi, n’omukono gwo ogugoloddwa, bw’anajjanga n’asaba ng’atunuulidde eyeekaalu eno,

33 zwana-ke wena usemazulwini, usendaweni yakho yokuhlala, wenze njengakho konke owezizweni akhala ngakho kuwe, ukuze bonke abantu bomhlaba bazi ibizo lakho, bakwesabe, njengabantu bakho uIsrayeli, lokuthi bazi ukuthi ibizo lakho liyabizwa phezu kwalindlu engiyakhileyo.

kale owulirenga ng’osinziira mu ggulu gy’obeera, okolere omunnaggwanga oyo kyonna ky’anaakusabanga; abantu bonna ab’omu nsi balyoke bamanye erinnya lyo era bakutye, ng’abantu bo Isirayiri bwe bakola, era bategeere nti ennyumba eno gye nzimbye etuumiddwa Erinnya lyo.

34 Uba abantu bakho bephuma ukuyakulwa bemelene lezitha zabo ngendlela obathume ngayo, bakhuleke kuwe endleleni yomuzi owukhethileyo lendlu engiyakhele ibizo lakho,

“Abantu bo bwe banaatabaalanga abalabe baabwe, yonna gy’onoobasindikanga, ne basaba nga batunuulidde ekibuga kino ky’olonze ne yeekaalu gye nzimbidde Erinnya lyo,

35 zwana-ke usemazulwini umkhuleko wabo lokuncenga kwabo, wenze ilungelo labo.

kale owulirenga okusaba kwabwe n’okwegayirira kwabwe, ng’osinziira mu ggulu, obaddiremu.

36 Uba besona kuwe, ngoba kakulamuntu ongoniyo, ubusubathukuthelela, ubanikele phambi kwesitha, ukuze ababathumbileyo babathumbele elizweni elikhatshana kumbe eliseduze,

“Bwe banaakolanga ebisobyo, kubanga tewaliwo muntu atasobya, n’obasunguwalira, n’obawaayo eri omulabe, ne batwalibwa nga basibe mu nsi ey’ewala oba ey’okumpi,

37 uba benakana ngakho enhliziyweni yabo elizweni abathunjelwe kilo, baphenduke bancenge kuwe elizweni lokuthunjwa kwabo bathi: Sonile, senze okubi, senza ngenkohlakalo;

oluvannyuma ne beenenya mu mutima nga bali mu nsi gye bali abasibe, ne bakwegayiririra mu nsi ey’okusibibwa kwabwe nga boogera nti, ‘Twayonoona, twakola eby’obubambavu, era twagira ekyejo,’

38 uba bephendukela kuwe ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo langawo wonke umphefumulo wabo elizweni lokuthunjwa kwabo, lapho ababathumbele khona, bakhuleke ngasendleleni yelizwe labo owalinika oyise, lomuzi owukhethileyo, langasendlini engiyakhele ibizo lakho,

era bwe beenenyanga n’omutima gwabwe gwonna n’emmeeme yaabwe yonna mu nsi ey’okusibibwa kwabwe gye baatwalibwa, ne basaba nga batunuulidde ensi gye wawa bajjajjaabwe, n’eri ekibuga kye walonda, n’eri eyeekaalu gye nazimba ku lw’Erinnya lyo,

39 zwana-ke usemazulwini, usendaweni yakho yokuhlala, umkhuleko wabo lokuncenga kwabo, wenze ilungelo labo, uthethelele abantu bakho abakonileyo.

kale, owulirenga okusaba kwabwe n’okwegayirira kwabwe, ng’osinziira mu ggulu, ekifo gy’obeera obaddiremu, era osonyiwe abantu bo abakwonoonye.

40 Ngakho, Nkulunkulu wami, ake amehlo akho avuleke lendlebe zakho zilalele umkhuleko walindawo.

“Kaakano Katonda wange, amaaso go gazibukenga, n’amatu go gawulirenga okusaba okunaaweerwangayo mu kifo kino.

41 Khathesi-ke, sukuma, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, uze endaweni yakho yokuphumula, wena lomtshokotsho wamandla akho. Abapristi bakho, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, kabembathe usindiso, labangcwele bakho bathokoze ngokuhle.

“Era kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda golokoka, okke mu kifo kyo

42 Nkosi Nkulunkulu, ungafulathelisi ubuso bogcotshiweyo wakho. Khumbula izisa zikaDavida inceku yakho.

Ayi Mukama Katonda, tokyusa maaso go okuva ku oyo gwe wafukako amafuta.
