U-Amosi 5
1 Zwanini lelilizwi engiliphakamisa phezu kwenu, isililo, ndlu kaIsrayeli.
Muwulirize mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri ekigambo kino eky’ennaku ekibakwatako.
2 Intombi emsulwa yakoIsrayeli iwile, kayiyikuvuka futhi; ideliwe emhlabathini wayo, kakho oyivusayo.
“Isirayiri embeerera agudde obutayimuka nate. Bamwabulidde era tewali amuyimusa.”
3 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Umuzi ophuma labayinkulungwane uzasala labalikhulu, lophuma labalikhulu uzasala labalitshumi, kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Ekibuga ekiyungula abalwanyi olukumi okugenda mu lutalo kirisigazaawo kikumi bokka, n’ekyo ekiweereza ekikumi, kirizza kkumi bokka!”
4 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi endlini kaIsrayeli: Ngidingani liphile.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri nti, “Munnoonye kale munaabanga balamu.
5 Kodwa lingadingi iBhetheli, lingangeni eGiligali, lingedluleli eBherishebha, ngoba iGiligali izathunjwa lokuthunjwa, leBhetheli izakuba yize.
Temunnoonyeza Beseri so temulaga Girugaali wadde okulaga e Beeruseba. Kubanga abantu b’e Girugaali balitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse era ne Beseri kiriggwaawo.”
6 Dingani iNkosi liphile, hlezi ifohlele indlu kaJosefa njengomlilo oqothulayo, kungabi khona owucitshayo eBhetheli.
Munoonye Mukama munaabanga balamu aleme okubuubuuka ng’omuliro ku nnyumba ya Yusufu; guligyokya nga tewali wa kuguzikiza mu Beseri.
7 Lina eliphendula isahlulelo sibe ngumhlonyane, lilalise ukulunga emhlabathini.
Mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri abafuula obwenkanya okuba eky’okufumwa obufumwa mutulugunya obutuukirivu.
8 Owenza isiLimela leziNja, lophendula umthunzi wokufa ube yikusa, lowenza imini ibe mnyama njengobusuku, obiza amanzi olwandle, awathulule ebusweni bomhlabathi; iNkosi libizo lakhe.
Oyo eyakola ettendo eriri mu mmunyeenye ezaaka ng’ebizungirizi era afuula ekisiikirize okubeera enkya era akyusa obudde ne buva mu kitangaala ne bufuuka ekiro, ayita amazzi g’omu nnyanja ne gafukirira ensi ng’enkuba, Mukama lye linnya lye.
9 Okhazimulisa incithakalo phezu kolamandla, ukuze incithakalo ize phezu kwenqaba.
Okutemya n’okuzibula aleeta okuzikirira ku b’amaanyi era n’asaanyaawo ebibuga ebiriko ebigo.
10 Bayamzonda okhuzayo esangweni, banengwe ngokhuluma ngokuqonda.
Mukyawa abalamuzi abasalawo mu bwenkanya era munyooma n’abo aboogera amazima.
11 Ngenxa yokuthi linyathelela phansi umyanga, limthathele umthwalo wamabele, lakhe izindlu zamatshe abaziweyo, kodwa kaliyikuhlala kuzo; lihlanyele izivini zentokozo, kodwa kaliyikunatha iwayini lazo.
Olinnyirira omwavu, n’omuwaliriza okukuwa emmere ey’empeke. Newaakubadde nga mwezimbidde amayumba ag’amayinja, temuligabeeramu; era newaakubadde nga mwesimbidde ennimiro z’emizabbibu ennungi, temulinywa ku wayini waamu.
12 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi iziphambeko zenu zinengi, lokuthi izono zenu zilamandla; lina elihlupha olungileyo, elemukela isivalamlomo, eliphambula abayanga esangweni.
Ebibi byammwe mbimanyi, nga bingi ate nga bisasamaza. Munyigiriza omutuukirivu ne mulya n’enguzi, abaavu temubasalira musango mu bwenkanya.
13 Ngakho ohlakaniphileyo uzathula ngalesosikhathi, ngoba kuyisikhathi esibi.
Noolwekyo oyo alina amagezi kyaliva asirika obusirisi mu biseera ng’ebyo kubanga ennaku mbi.
14 Dingani okuhle, hatshi-ke okubi, ukuze liphile, ukuze ngokunjalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ibe lani, njengokutsho kwenu.
Munoonyenga okukola obulungi, so si obubi munaabeeranga balamu! Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye anaabeeranga mubeezi wammwe nga bulijjo bwe mumuyita.
15 Zondani ububi, lithande okuhle, limise isahlulelo esangweni; mhlawumbe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla ingaba lesisa kunsali yakoJosefa.
Mukyawe ekibi, mwagalenga ekirungi era embuga z’amateeka zibeerengamu obwenkanya. Oboolyawo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye anaabakwatirwa ekisa abantu abo abaasigalawo ku Yusufu.
16 Ngakho utsho njalo uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, iNkosi: Kuzakuba khona isililo emidangeni yonke, lakuzo zonke izitalada bazakuthi: Maye! Maye! Njalo bazabizela umlimi ekulileni, lesililo sizakuba labazi ukulila.
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Walibeerawo okwaziirana mu nguudo n’okukaaba mu buli kibangirizi eky’omu kibuga. N’abalimi baliyitibwa, bakaabe, n’abakungubazi bakube ebiwoobe.
17 Lakuzo zonke izivini kuzakuba lokulila, ngoba ngizadabula phakathi kwenu, itsho iNkosi.
Walibaawo okukaaba mu buli nnimiro ya mizabbibu kubanga nzija okuyita wakati mu mmwe.”
18 Maye kulabo abaloyisa usuku lweNkosi! Luzakuba ngolwani kini usuku lweNkosi? Luzakuba ngumnyama, hatshi ukukhanya.
Zibasanze mmwe abasuubira olunaku lwa Mukama. Lwaki mwesunga olunaku lwa Mukama? Olunaku olwo luliba kizikiza so si kitangaala.
19 Kunjengomuntu obaleke phambi kwesilwane, ahlangane lebhere; loba angene endlini abambelele ngesandla sakhe emdulini, lenyoka imlume.
Olunaku olwo lulibeera ng’omusajja adduka empologoma n’asisinkana eddubu, bw’aba ng’ayingira mu nnyumba ne yeekwata ku kisenge, ate n’abojjebwa omusota.
20 Usuku lweNkosi kaluyikuba ngumnyama yini, hatshi-ke ukukhanya, lomnyama omkhulu ongelakukhanya kuwo?
Olunaku lwa Mukama, teruliba kizikiza awatali kitangaala n’akatono, ng’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo?
21 Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenu, kangiyikunuka emihlanganweni yenu enzulu.
Nkyawa, era nnyooma embaga zammwe n’emikolo gyammwe egy’eddiini so sisanyukira kukuŋŋaana kwammwe.
22 Ngoba lanxa linikela kimi iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yenu yokudla, kangithokozi, leminikelo yokuthula yezifuyo zenu ezinonileyo kangiyinanzi.
Weewaawo, ne bwe munaawaayo gye ndi ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere ey’empeke, sijja kubikkiriza. Ne bwe mulireeta ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe ebisinga obulungi, siribikkiriza.
23 Susani kimi umsindo wezingoma zenu, ngoba kangiyikuzwa ukukhala kwamachacho enu.
Muggyeewo ennyimba zammwe ez’okutendereza. Siriwuliriza na bivuga ng’entongooli zammwe.
24 Kodwa isahlulelo kasikhukhule njengamanzi, lokulunga njengesifula esigeleza njalo.
Kye njagala okulaba ge mazima n’obwenkanya nga bikulukuta ng’amazzi, n’obutuukirivu nga bukulukuta ng’omugga ogw’amaanyi.
25 Lanikela yini kimi imihlatshelo leminikelo yokudla enkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli?
“Mwandeeteranga ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo mu ddungu emyaka gyonna amakumi ana, ggw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri?
26 Kodwa lathwala uSikuthi inkosi yenu, loKhiwuni izithombe zenu, inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu, elizenzele zona.
Muyimusizza essabo lya kabaka wammwe, amaanyi ga bakatonda bammwe, n’emmunyeenye ya katonda wammwe, bye mwekolera mmwe.
27 Ngakho ngizalithumbela ngaphetsheya kweDamaseko, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguNkulunkulu wamabandla.
Kyendiva mbawaŋŋangusa okusukka Ddamasiko,” bw’ayogera Mukama, ayitibwa Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
