UmTshumayeli 5
1 Gcina unyawo lwakho nxa usiya endlini kaNkulunkulu; sondelela ukulalela kulokunikela umhlatshelo wezithutha, ngoba kazazi ukuthi zenza okubi.
Weekuume ng’oyingira mu nnyumba ya Katonda; okumusemberera n’okumuwuliriza, kisinga okuwaayo ssaddaaka ng’ez’abasirusiru abatamanyi nga bakola ebibi.
2 Ungabi lamawala ngomlomo wakho, lenhliziyo yakho ingaphangisi ukukhupha ilizwi phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu usemazulwini, wena-ke usemhlabeni, ngakho amazwi akho kawabe malutshwana.
Toyanguyirizanga na kamwa ko okwogera ekigambo, wadde omutima gwo ogwanguyiriza, okwogera ekigambo mu maaso ga Katonda. Katonda ali mu ggulu ng’ate ggwe oli ku nsi; kale ebigambo byo bibeerenga bitono.
3 Ngoba iphupho liza ngobunengi bomsebenzi, lelizwi lesithutha ngobunengi bamazwi.
Ng’okutawaana ennyo bwe kuleetera omuntu ebirooto, n’ebigambo by’omusirusiru bwe bityo bwe biba nga bingi.
4 Lapho ufunga isifungo kuNkulunkulu, ungaphuzi ukusikhokha, ngoba kakulantokozo kuziwula; khokha lokho okufungileyo.
Bwe weeyamanga obweyamo eri Katonda tolwanga kubutuukiriza, kubanga tasanyukira basirusiru. Tuukirizanga obweyamo bwo.
5 Kungcono ukuthi ungafungi kulokuthi ufunge ungakhokhi.
Obuteyama kisinga okweyama n’ototuukiriza kye weeyamye.
6 Ungavumeli umlomo wakho ukuthi wenze inyama yakho yone, futhi ungatsho phambi kwengilosi ukuthi bekuyisiphosiso; uNkulunkulu uzathukuthelelani ilizwi lakho, achithe umsebenzi wezandla zakho?
Akamwa ko kaleme ku kwonoonyesa, n’ogamba oyo atumiddwa gy’oli nti, “Nakola kisobyo okweyama.” Kale lwaki weeretako okusunguwalirwa Katonda olw’ebigambo byo, n’azikiriza emirimu gy’emikono gyo?
7 Ngoba ebunengini bamaphupho lamazwi kukhona lokuyize okunengi, kodwa mesabe uNkulunkulu.
Ebirooto entoko n’ebigambo ebingi temuli makulu; noolwekyo otyanga Katonda.
8 Uba ubona ucindezelo lomyanga lokuphanjulwa kokulunga lesahlulelo ngodlakela esabelweni, ungamangali ngalinto, ngoba ophezulu kophezulu uyananzelela, njalo kulabaphezulu phezu kwabo.
Bw’olabanga ng’omwavu anyigirizibwa mu ssaza, amazima n’obwenkanya nga tewali, teweewuunyanga! Kubanga omukungu waalyo alinako amusinga, ate nga bombi balina ababatwala.
9 Lenzuzo yomhlabathi ngeyabo bonke; inkosi isetshenzelwa yinsimu.
Bonna balya ku bibala bya nsi eyo; kabaka yennyini mu nnimiro zaayo mw’afuna.
10 Othanda imali kayikweneliswa yimali, njalo othanda okunengi kayikweneliswa yikwanda; lokhu lakho kuyize.
Oyo alulunkanira ensimbi, tasobola kuba na nsimbi zimumala; wadde oyo alulunkanira obugagga n’amagoba: na kino nakyo butaliimu.
11 Ekwandeni kokuhle, bayanda abakudlayo; njalo kulenzuzo bani kubanini bakho, ngaphandle kokukubuka ngamehlo abo?
Ebintu nga bwe byeyongera obungi, n’ababirya gye bakoma okweyongera. Kale nnyini byo agasibwa ki, okuggyako okusanyusa amaaso ge?
12 Bumnandi ubuthongo besisebenzi loba sisidla okulutshwana loba okunengi; kodwa ukusutha kwesinothi kakusivumeli ukulala.
Otulo tuwoomera omupakasi ne bw’aba agabana bitono oba bingi. Naye obugagga bw’omugagga obuyitiridde, tebumuganya kwebaka.
13 Kukhona ububi obubuhlungu esengibubonile ngaphansi kwelanga: Inotho egcinelwe abaniniyo kube yibubi kibo.
Waliwo ekibi ekinene kye nalaba wansi w’enjuba: nannyini bugagga abuterekera mu kwerumya,
14 Kodwa leyonotho ichitheka ngomsebenzi omubi: Esezala umntwana, kungaselalutho esandleni sakhe.
ebyembi bw’ebigwawo eby’obugagga ebyo bibula, kale bw’aba ne mutabani tewabaawo mutabani we ky’asigaza.
15 Njengokuphuma kwakhe esiswini sikanina, uzabuyela eze ehamba njengokuza kwakhe; njalo kayikuthatha lutho lomtshikatshika wakhe angahamba lalo esandleni sakhe.
Omuntu nga bwe yava mu lubuto lwa nnyina n’ajja mu nsi nga talina kintu, bw’atyo bw’aliddayo nga mwereere ng’ava mu nsi. Tewali ky’aggya mu mirimu gye, wadde kyayinza okugenda nakyo mu mukono gwe.
16 Lokhu lakho kuyibubi obubuhlungu, kukho konke njengokufika kwakhe ngokunjalo uzahamba. Njalo ulenzuzo bani owatshikatshikela umoya?
Na kino kya bulumi bwereere: nga bwe yajja era bw’atyo bw’aligenda; mugaso ki gwe yafuna mu kugoberera empewo?
17 Njalo insuku zakhe zonke udlela emnyameni, elosizi olukhulu, lomkhuhlane wakhe, lokuthukuthela?
Era yamala obulamu bwe bwonna mu kizikiza ne mu buyinike, ne mu kweraliikirira, ne mu bulumi ne mu kunyiiga.
18 Khangela, engikubonileyo mina, kulungile okuhle ukudla lokunatha lokubona okuhle emtshikatshikeni wakhe wonke awutshikatshikayo ngaphansi kwelanga, enanini lensuku zempilo yakhe uNkulunkulu amnike zona, ngoba kuyisabelo sakhe.
Ne ndyoka ntegeera nti kituufu omuntu okulya n’okunywa n’okulaba nga yeyagalira mu kutakabana ne mu kukola kwe wansi w’enjuba, mu nnaku ze entono Katonda z’amuwadde, kubanga ekyo gwe mugabo gwe.
19 Laye wonke umuntu, uNkulunkulu amnike inotho lengcebo, wamnika amandla okudla kukho, lokuthatha isabelo sakhe, lokuthokoza emtshikatshikeni wakhe - lokhu kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu.
Ate Katonda bw’awa omuntu obugagga, n’ebintu n’amusobozesa okubyeyagaliramu, n’okutegeera omugabo gwe n’okusanyukira by’akoze, ekyo kiba kirabo ekivudde ewa Katonda.
20 Ngoba kayikukhumbula kakhulu insuku zempilo yakhe, ngoba uNkulunkulu umphendula ngentokozo yenhliziyo yakhe.
Emirundi giba mitono gy’alowoolezaamu ekiseera ky’obulamu ky’amaze, kubanga Katonda ajjuza omutima gw’omuntu oyo essanyu.
