UDutheronomi 4
1 Khathesi-ke, Israyeli, zwana izimiso lezahlulelo engilifundisa zona, ukuzenza, ukuze liphile, lingene lidle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo elinika lona.
Kale nno kaakano, muwulire, Ayi Isirayiri, mutege amatu eri amateeka n’ebiragiro bye ŋŋenda okubayigiriza. Mubigonderenga era mubigobererenga, muliba balamu, mulyoke muyingire mu nsi Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe gy’abawa mugyetwalire ebeere obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.
2 Kaliyikwengezelela elizwini engililaya lona, lingaphunguli lutho kulo, ukuze ligcine imilayo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu engililaya yona.
Temwongerangako ku mateeka ge mbalagira, so temugatoolangako, naye mukwatenga ebiragiro bya Mukama Katonda wammwe, bye mbategeeza.
3 Amehlo enu abonile iNkosi eyakwenzayo ngenxa kaBhali-Peyori; ngoba wonke umuntu owalandela uBhali-Peyori, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu yambhubhisa phakathi kwenu;
Mwerabirako n’amaaso gammwe gennyini ebyo byonna Mukama bye yakola e Baali Peoli. Abo bonna mu mmwe abaagoberera, era ne basinza Baali e Peoli, Mukama Katonda wo yabazikiriza;
4 kodwa lina elanamathela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu liyaphila lonke lamuhla.
naye mmwe abaanywerera ku Mukama Katonda wammwe, mukyali balamu leero.
5 Bonani, ngilifundisile izimiso lezahlulelo, njengokungilaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wami, ukuthi lenze njalo phakathi kwelizwe eliya kulo ukudla ilifa lalo.
Kale, mulabe nno, mbayigirizza amateeka n’ebiragiro nga Mukama Katonda wange bwe yandagira, mulyoke mubigobererenga nga mutuuse mu nsi gye mugenda okuyingiramu, n’okugyefunira ng’obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.
6 Ngakho zigcineni, lizenze; ngoba lokhu kuyinhlakanipho yenu lokuqedisisa kwenu emehlweni ezizwe ezizakuzwa zonke lezizimiso zithi: Isibili lesisizwe esikhulu singabantu abahlakaniphileyo labaqedisisayo.
Mugagobererenga n’obwegendereza, kubanga ekyo kiriraga ensi endala obugezi bwammwe n’obutegeevu bwammwe. Ensi ezo bwe ziriwulira ku mateeka gano gonna zirigamba nti, “Ddala abantu b’eggwanga lino ekkulu bategeevu era ba magezi.”
7 Ngoba yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esilabonkulunkulu abaseduze laso njengeNkosi uNkulunkulu ekumbizeni kwethu konke?
Kubanga ggwanga ki eddala ekkulu erimanyiddwa eririna bakatonda b’abantu baalyo okumpi n’abantu abo, nga ffe bwe tulina Mukama Katonda waffe, abeera okumpi naffe buli lwe tumukoowoola?
8 Futhi yisiphi isizwe esikhulu esilezimiso lezahlulelo ezilungileyo njengalumlayo wonke engiwubeka phambi kwenu lamuhla?
Era ggwanga ki eddala ekkulu erimanyiddwa eririna amateeka n’ebiragiro eby’obwenkanya nga bino bye nteeka mu maaso gammwe leero?
9 Kuphela ziqaphele, ugcine kakhulu umphefumulo wakho, hlezi ukhohlwe izinto amehlo akho azibonileyo, njalo hlezi zisuke enhliziyweni yakho, zonke izinsuku zempilo yakho. Njalo uzazise abantwana bakho labantwana babantwana bakho,
“Ekikulu, weekuume nnyo nga weerabirira mu ngeri gye weeyisaamu, olemenga kwerabira ebyo byonna amaaso go bye gazze galaba oleme okubiganya okuva mu mutima gwo ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo. Biyigirizenga abaana bo, nabo babiyigirizenga abaana baabwe.
10 ukuthi ngosuku owema ngalo phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe, lapho iNkosi yathi kimi: Ngibuthanisela abantu ngibe sengibazwisa amazwi ami, ukuze bafunde ukungesaba zonke izinsuku abazaziphila emhlabeni, bafundise njalo abantwana babo.
Kirungi mujjukire nga bwe mwayimirira awali Mukama Katonda wammwe, ku lusozi Kolebu, bwe yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Kuŋŋaanya abantu bonna obandeetere wano we ndi, bawulire ebigambo byange, balyoke bayige okumpulira nga bantya; banzisengamu ekitiibwa ennaku zonna ze balimala ku nsi, era ebigambo ebyo babiyigirizenga abaana baabwe.
11 Laselisondela, lema ngaphansi kwentaba, lentaba yayivutha umlilo kwaze kwaba phakathi kwamazulu, lomnyama, amayezi, lomnyama onzima.
Mwasembera ne muyimirira wansi w’olusozi, ne mulaba nga lwaka omuliro ogwatuukira ddala waggulu ku ggulu, nga gwetooloddwa ebire n’ekizikiza ekikutte.’
12 INkosi yasikhuluma kini iphakathi komlilo; lezwa ilizwi lamazwi, kodwa kalibonanga simo; ilizwi kuphela.
Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’ayogera nammwe ng’asinziira wakati mu muliro. Mwawulira envuga y’ebigambo bye, naye ekikula kye temwakiraba; mwakoma ku ddoboozi lyokka.
13 Yamemezela kini isivumelwano sayo, eyalilaya ukuthi lisenze, imilayo elitshumi; njalo yayibhala ezibhebheni zamatshe ezimbili.
Yabategeeza endagaano ye eyali mu Mateeka Ekkumi, ge yawandiika ku bipande by’amayinja ebibiri, n’abalagira okugagobereranga.
14 INkosi yasingilaya ngalesosikhathi ukuthi ngilifundise izimiso lezahlulelo, ukuze lizenze elizweni elidlulela kulo ukudla ilifa lalo.
Era mu kaseera ako Mukama Katonda n’andagira mbayigirize amateeka n’ebiragiro bye musaana okugonderanga, nga muli mu nsi gye mugenda okwefunira ng’obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira, nga mumaze okusomoka Yoludaani.
15 Ngakho-ke qaphelani kakhulu ngenxa yemiphefumulo yenu. Ngoba kalibonanga lasimo ngosuku iNkosi ikhuluma kini eHorebe iphakathi komlilo,
“Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda bwe yayogera gye muli ng’asinziira wakati mu muliro ku lusozi Kolebu, temwalaba kikula kye kya ngeri yonna. Noolwekyo mwekuumenga nnyo,
16 hlezi lizone, lizenzele isithombe esibaziweyo, isimo saloba yiwuphi umfanekiso, isifanekiso sowesilisa loba sowesifazana,
mulemenga okweyonoona nga mwekolera bakatonda abalala, aba buli ngeri, abali mu bifaananyi ebiri ng’omusajja oba ng’omukazi,
17 isifanekiso saloba yiyiphi inyamazana esemhlabeni, isifanekiso saloba yiyiphi inyoni elempiko ephapha emazulwini,
oba ebifaanana ng’ensolo ez’oku nsi, oba ng’ennyonyi ezibuuka mu bbanga,
18 isifanekiso saloba yikuphi okuhuquzelayo emhlabeni, isifanekiso saloba yiyiphi inhlanzi esemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba.
oba ebifaanana ng’ebiramu byonna ebitambulira wansi oba ebyekulula ku ttaka; oba ebifaanana ng’ebyennyanja ebiri mu mazzi agali wansi w’ettaka.
19 Futhi hlezi uphakamisele amehlo akho emazulwini, lapho ubona ilanga lenyanga lezinkanyezi, ibutho lonke lamazulu, uyengwe, ukukhothamele, ukukhonze, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekwabele izizwe zonke ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke.
Era weekuumenga nnyo bw’onooyimusanga amaaso go okutunula waggulu ku ggulu, n’olaba enjuba, n’omwezi n’emmunyeenye, n’ebitiibwa byabyo, n’osendebwasendebwa n’obiweereza, era n’obivuunamira n’obisinza; songa ebyo byonna bye bintu Mukama Katonda wo bye yawa amawanga gonna agali wansi w’eggulu.
20 Kodwa lina iNkosi yalithatha, yalikhupha esithandweni sensimbi, eGibhithe, ukuze libe kuyo ngabantu belifa, njengalamuhla.
Naye mmwe, Mukama yabaggya mu Misiri, mu mbiga esaanuusa ebyuma, mubeerenga bantu be ab’obusika bwe, nga bwe muli leero.
21 Futhi iNkosi yangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, yafunga ukuthi kangiyikuchapha iJordani, lokuthi kangiyikungena kulelolizwe elihle iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona libe yilifa.
“Ate n’ekirala, Mukama yansunguwalira ku lwammwe, ne yeerayirira nti nze sigenda kusomoka mugga ogwo Yoludaani nnyingire mu nsi eyo ennungi Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa okubeera obusika bwammwe.
22 Ngoba ngizafela kulelilizwe, ngingachaphi iJordani; kodwa lina lizachapha, lidle ilifa lalelolizwe elihle.
Naye nze kinsaanira okufiira wano mu nsi eno kaakano mwe tuli, sigenda kusomoka mugga Yoludaani; naye mmwe muligusomoka ne mwefunira ensi eyo ennungi okubeera obutaka bwammwe obw’enkalakkalira.
23 Ziqapheleni hlezi likhohlwe isivumelwano seNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu eyasenza lani, lizenzele isithombe esibaziweyo, umfanekiso waloba yikuphi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekwenqabele khona.
Mwegenderezanga nnyo ne muteerabira ndagaano ya Mukama Katonda wammwe gye yakola nammwe. Temwekoleranga bitali Katonda mu kufaanaanyiriza okw’ekintu kyonna Mukama Katonda wo kye yakugaana okukola.
24 Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ingumlilo oqothulayo, uNkulunkulu olobukhwele.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo muliro ogwokya ne gusaanyaawo, ye Katonda ow’obuggya.
25 Lapho uzala abantwana labantwana babantwana, njalo selihlale elizweni isikhathi eside, uba lisonakala, lenze isithombe esibaziweyo, umfanekiso waloba yikuphi, lenze okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ukuze liyithukuthelise,
“Bw’olimala okuzaala abaana ng’ofunye n’abazzukulu, era nga mu nsi omwo mumazeemu emyaka mingi nga mukaddiye; ne mugenda mweyonoonanga nga mwekolera bakatonda abalala ab’engeri zonna, ne mukolanga ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo ne mumusunguwazanga,
26 ngibiza amazulu lomhlaba lamuhla ukuze kufakaze kumelene lani ukuthi lizabhubha lokubhubha masinyane lisuka elizweni elichapha iJordani ukuya kilo ukuze libe yilifa lenu; kaliyikwelula insuku zenu phezu kwalo, ngoba lizabhujiswa lokubhujiswa.
nkoowoola eggulu n’ensi okubeera abajulirwa bange ku lunaku lwa leero nga mbakuutira mmwe nti, Bwe muneeyonoonanga bwe mutyo, muliggweerawo ddala mu nsi eyo gye mugenda okwefunira okuba obutaka bwammwe, nga mumaze okusomoka Yoludaani. Muligibeeramu akabanga katono ne muzikirizibwa mwenna.
27 Njalo iNkosi izalichithachitha phakathi kwezizwe, lisale libalutshwana ngenani phakathi kwezizwe, lapho iNkosi ezalixotshela khona.
Mukama anaabasaasaanyanga mu mawanga amalala, era erisigalayo batono mu mmwe abalibeera mu nsi ezo Mukama Katonda gy’anaabanga abasindiikirizza.
28 Lapho lizakhonza onkulunkulu, umsebenzi wezandla zabantu, izigodo lamatshe, abangaboniyo, abangezwayo, abangadliyo, labanganukiyo.
Nga muli eyo munaasinzanga bakatonda abakolebwa n’emikono gy’abantu, mu miti ne mu mayinja, abatayinza kulaba, oba okuwulira oba okulya, wadde okuwunyiriza.
29 Kodwa lilapho liyidinge iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, uzayithola uba uyidinga ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo wakho wonke.
Naye ng’oli eyo, bw’onoonoonyanga Mukama Katonda wo, onoomulabanga, singa onoomunoonyanga n’omutima gwo gwonna awamu n’omwoyo gwo gwonna.
30 Lapho usekuhluphekeni, lezizinto zonke zikwehlela, ekupheleni kwezinsuku, uzaphendukela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, ulalele ilizwi layo;
Ebintu ebyo byonna bwe binaakutuukangako n’olaba ennaku nnyingi, olwo onookomangawo eri Mukama Katonda wo mu biseera eby’oluvannyuma, n’omugonderanga.
31 ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho inguNkulunkulu olomusa, kayiyikukutshiya, kayiyikukubhubhisa, kayiyikukhohlwa isivumelwano saboyihlo, eyasifunga kubo.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda wo ajjudde okusaasira, taakusuulirirenga wadde okukuzikiriza, oba okwerabira endagaano ye gye yakola ne bajjajjaabo gye yabalayiririra.
32 Ngoba buza-ke ngensuku zamandulo ezazingaphambi kwakho, kusukela osukwini uNkulunkulu adala ngalo umuntu emhlabeni, kusukela komunye umkhawulo wamazulu kuze kube komunye umkhawulo wamazulu, ukuthi kwake kwaba khona yini into enje njengale into enkulu, kumbe kwezwakala enjengayo yini?
“Kale, weebuuze leero ku byafaayo eby’ebiro eby’edda, nga naawe tonnabeerawo, okuva ku lunaku Katonda lwe yatonderako omuntu n’amuteeka ku nsi; weebuuze okuva ku luuyi olumu olw’eggulu okutuuka ku luuyi olulala. Waali wabaddewo ekintu ekikulu nga kino, oba waali wabaddewo akiwulirako?
33 Abantu bake bezwa yini ilizwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma livela phakathi komlilo, njengalokhu ulizwile wena, waphila?
Abantu abamawanga amalala baali bawuliddeko ku ddoboozi lya Katonda ng’ayogerera mu muliro, ne basigala nga bakyali balamu, nga mmwe bwe mwaliwulira ne muba balamu?
34 Futhi uNkulunkulu wake wazama yini ukuyazithathela isizwe phakathi kwesizwe, ngezilingo, ngezibonakaliso, langezimangaliso, langempi, langesandla esilamandla, langengalo eyeluliweyo, langezesabiso ezinkulu, njengakho konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu eyalenzela khona eGibhithe phambi kwamehlo akho?
Nantiki, waali wabaddewo katonda eyali agezezzaako okwetwalira eggwanga erimu ng’aliggya wakati mu ggwanga eddala, ng’ataddewo ebigezo, n’okukola ebyamagero, n’obubonero, n’ebyewuunyo, n’entalo, ng’alaga omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi, n’omukono gwe omuwanvu; oba n’ebikolwa ebinene ebitiisa, okufaanana ng’ebintu Mukama Katonda wammwe bye yabakolera nga muli mu Misiri, nga mwenna mutunula?
35 Wena wakutshengiswa, ukuze wazi ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu; kakho omunye ngaphandle kwakhe.
“Walagibwa ebintu ebyo byonna olyoke otegeere nga Mukama ye Katonda; era nga awatali ye tewali mulala.
36 Esemazulwini wakuzwisa ilizwi lakhe ukukufundisa; lemhlabeni wakutshengisa umlilo wakhe omkhulu, lamazwi akhe wawezwa evela phakathi komlilo.
Yakuleka n’owulira eddoboozi lye nga liva mu ggulu alyoke akuyigirize. Yakulaga omuliro gwe omungi ennyo ku nsi, n’owulira ebigambo bye nga biva mu muliro ogwo.
37 Njalo ngoba wabathanda oyihlo, wakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo, wakukhupha eGibhithe ebusweni bakhe ngamandla akhe amakhulu,
Olw’okubanga yayagala nnyo bajjajjaabo naawe muzzukulu waabwe eyabaddirira, yakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri ng’akozesa obuyinza bwe obungi.
38 ukuxotsha elifeni izizwe ezinkulu lezilamandla kulawe phambi kwakho, ukukungenisa, ukukupha ilizwe lazo, libe yilifa, njengalamuhla.
Yakuwangulira amawanga amakulu era agakusinga ggwe amaanyi, alyoke akuyingize mu nsi yaabwe, era agikuwe ggwe okubeeranga obusika bwo nga bwe kiri leero.
39 Ngakho yazi lamuhla, ukukhumbule enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu emazulwini phezulu, lemhlabeni phansi; kakho omunye.
“Noolwekyo osaana okitegeerere ddala okuva ku lunaku lwa leero, era okinywereze ddala mu mutima gwo nti Mukama ye Katonda yekka ali waggulu mu ggulu ne wansi ku nsi; so tewali mulala.
40 Ngakho uzagcina izimiso zakhe lemilayo yakhe engikulaya yona lamuhla, ukuze kukulungele labantwana bakho emva kwakho, lokuze welule izinsuku phezu kwelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona, zonke izinsuku.
Kale, mugonderenga amateeka ge n’ebiragiro bye, bye nkulagira leero; olwo nno eby’obulamu bwo n’embeera yo biryoke bikugenderenga bulungi, ggwe n’ezzadde lyo eririddawo; bw’otyo olyoke owangaalenga ng’oli mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeeranga obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira.”
41 Khona uMozisi wehlukanisa imizi emithathu nganeno kweJordani ngasempumalanga,
Awo Musa n’ayawula ebibuga bisatu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olw’omugga Yoludaani,
42 ukuthi abalekele kuyo umbulali obulele umakhelwane wakhe kungeyisikho ngabomo, obengamzondi mandulo, ukuze abalekele komunye waleyomizi aphile;
nga mu bibuga ebyo, omuntu yenna anaabanga asse muntu munne nga tagenderedde, mw’anaddukiranga, kubanga munne anaabanga amusse mu butanwa nga tamuliiko kiruyi kubanga tabangako mulabe we; anaddukiranga mu kimu ku bibuga ebyo yeewonye naye okuttibwa.
43 iBezeri enkangala elizweni lamagceke, elabakoRubeni; leRamothi eGileyadi, elabakoGadi; leGolani eBashani, elabakoManase.
Bino bye byali ebibuga ebyo: Bezeri, nga kiri mu ddungu mu nsi engulumivu kyokka nga waggulu mbyabyatavu, nga kye ky’Abalewubeeni; ne Lamusi mu Gireyaadi, nga kye ky’Abagaadi; ne Golani mu Basani, nga ky’ekitundu ky’Abamanase abaagabana oluuyi olwo.
44 Njalo yilo umlayo uMozisi awubeka phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Gano ge mateeka Musa ge yateeka mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri,
45 Lobu yibufakazi lezimiso lezahlulelo uMozisi akukhuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibhithe,
era ono ye kalonda w’obujulirwa, n’amateeka, n’ebiragiro, Musa bye yategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nga bavudde mu Misiri,
46 nganeno kweJordani, esigodini maqondana leBeti-Peyori, elizweni likaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, owayehlala eHeshiboni, uMozisi labantwana bakoIsrayeli abamtshayayo ekuphumeni kwabo eGibhithe.
nga bali mu kiwonvu ekiriraanye Besu Peoli ku buvanjuba bw’omugga Yoludaani, mu nsi eya Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, eyafugiranga mu Kesuboni, Musa n’abaana ba Isirayiri gwe baali bamaze okuwangula nga bavudde mu nsi ey’e Misiri.
47 Basebesidla ilifa lelizwe lakhe lelizwe likaOgi inkosi yeBashani, amakhosi amabili amaAmori, ayenganeno kweJordani ngasempumalanga,
Ensi eyo baali bagitutte awamu n’ensi ya Ogi kabaka wa Basani, abo nga be bakabaka ababiri abaabanga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olw’omugga Yoludaani.
48 kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula seArinoni, kuze kufike entabeni yeSiyoni, eyiHermoni,
Ensi eyo yali eva ku Aluweri ekiri ku njegoyego y’Ekiwonvu Alunoni n’okutuuka ku lusozi olunene Siriyoni era olwo ye Kerumooni,
49 lamagceke wonke nganeno kweJordani ngasempumalanga, kuze kube selwandle lwamagceke, ngaphansi kweAshidodi-Pisiga.
n’ezingiramu ne Alaba ekiri ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba obwa Yoludaani, okutuukira ddala ku Nnyanja ya Alaba, ye Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo, wansi w’olugulungujjo lw’olusozi Pisuga.
