UMikha 7
1 Maye kimi! Ngoba nginjengokuvunwa kwezithelo zasehlobo, njengokukhothozwa kwesivini; kakulahlukuzo lokudliwa; umphefumulo wami uloyisa isithelo sokuqala esivuthiweyo.
Ddala zinsanze nze. Ndi ng’omuntu akungula ebibala okuva mu bifo eby’enjawulo eby’ennimiro y’emizabbibu; tewali kirimba kya mizabbibu kulyako, wadde emizeeyituuni egisooka okwengera gye njagala ennyo.
2 Olungileyo ubhubhile esuka emhlabeni; njalo kakho oqotho phakathi kwabantu; bonke bacathamele igazi, bayazingela ngulowo lalowo umfowabo ngembule.
Abantu abatya Katonda, baweddewo mu nsi; tewali n’omu mulongoofu asigaddewo. Bonna banoonya okuyiwa omusaayi, buli omu anoonya okutega muganda we ekitimba.
3 Ukuze benze okubi ngezandla zombili ngokutshiseka, isiphathamandla siyacela, lomahluleli uyacela umvuzo; lomkhulu ukhuluma inkanuko yomphefumulo wakhe, bayakwelukanisa.
Emikono gyabwe gyombi mikugu mu kukola ebibi; omufuzi asaba ebirabo, n’omulamuzi alya enguzi, n’ab’amaanyi mu nsi, beekolera kye baagala nga basala enkwe.
4 Ongcono wabo unjengameva; oqotho kubo mubi kulothango; usuku lwabalindi bakho, ukuhanjelwa kwakho sekufikile; khathesi kuzakuba khona ukudideka kwabo.
Mu abo bonna asingamu obulungi, afaanana ng’omweramannyo; asingamu ku mazima y’asinga olukomera lw’amaggwa obubi. Naye olunaku lw’abakuumi bammwe lutuuse, era kino kye kiseera eky’okutabukatabuka.
5 Lingabeki ithemba kumngane, lingakholwa umhlobo; gcina iminyango yomlomo wakho kuye umfazi olala esifubeni sakho.
Tewesiga muntu n’omu, wadde mukwano gwo, newaakubadde mukazi wo, Weegendereze by’oyogera.
6 Ngoba indodana idelela uyise, indodakazi ivukela unina, umalokazana avukele uninazala; izitha zomuntu ngabantu bendlu yakhe.
Kubanga omulenzi agaya kitaawe, n’omwana alwanyisa nnyina, muka mwana n’alwanyisa nnyazaala we. Abalabe b’omuntu, bantu be, ab’omu nju ye bennyini.
7 Ngakho mina ngizakhangela eNkosini, ngilindele uNkulunkulu wosindiso lwami; uNkulunkulu wami uzangizwa.
Naye nze nnindirira Mukama nga nnina essuubi, nnindirira Katonda Omulokozi wange; Katonda wange anampulira.
8 Ungathokozi ngami, sithakazi sami; lapho ngisiwa, ngizavuka; lapho ngihlezi emnyameni, iNkosi izakuba yikukhanya kimi.
Tonjeeyereza ggwe omulabe wange, kubanga wadde ngudde, nnaayimuka. Ne bwe naatuula mu kizikiza, Mukama anaabeera ekitangaala kyange.
9 Ngizaluthwala ulaka lweNkosi, ngoba ngonile kuyo, ize imele udaba lwami, ingenzele isahlulelo. Izangikhuphela ekukhanyeni, ngibone ukulunga kwayo.
Nnaagumikirizanga Mukama bw’anaabanga ambonereza, kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso ge, okutuusa lw’alimpolereza, n’anziza buggya. Alindeeta mu kitangaala, era ndiraba obutuukirivu bwe.
10 Ngakho isithakazi sami sizabona, lehlazo limembese yena owathi kimi: Ingaphi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho? Amehlo ami azambona; khathesi uzanyathelelwa phansi njengodaka lwezitalada.
Olwo omulabe wange alikiraba, n’aswala, oyo eyanjeeyerezanga ng’agamba nti, “Ali ludda wa Mukama Katonda wo?” Ndisanyuka ng’agudde, era alirinnyirirwa ng’ebitoomi eby’omu nguudo.
11 Ngosuku imiduli yakho ezakwakhiwa ngalo, ngalolosuku isimiso sizakuba khatshana.
Olunaku olw’okuzimba bbugwe wo lulituuka, olunaku olw’okugaziya ensalo yo.
12 Ngalolosuku uzafika lakuwe evela eAsiriya, lemizini ebiyelweyo; njalo kusukela ezinqabeni kuze kube semfuleni, kusukela elwandle kusiya elwandle, kusukela entabeni kusiya entabeni.
Mu biro ebyo abantu balijja gy’oli nga bava mu Bwasuli ne mu bibuga by’e Misiri, n’okuva e Misiri okutuuka ku mugga Fulaati, n’okuva ku nnyanja emu okutuuka ku nnyanja endala, n’okuva ku lusozi olumu okutuuka ku lusozi olulala.
13 Lanxa kunjalo ilizwe lizakuba yincithakalo ngenxa yabahlali balo, ngenxa yesithelo sezenzo zabo.
Ensi erifuuka matongo, olw’ebikolwa by’abantu abagibeeramu.
14 Yelusa abantu bakho ngentonga yakho, umhlambi welifa lakho, ohlala wodwaehlathini, phakathi kweKharmeli. Kabadle eBashani leGileyadi, njengensukwini zasendulo.
Lunda abantu bo n’omuggo gwo, ekisibo kye weeroboza, ababeera bokka mu kibira mu malundiro amagimu. Baleke baliire mu Basani ne Gireyaadi, nga mu biseera eby’edda.
15 Njengezinsukwini zokuphuma kwakho elizweni leGibhithe, ngizamtshengisa izimangaliso.
Nga bwe kyali mu nnaku ze mwaviiramu mu Misiri, nzija kubalaga ebikulu eby’ekitalo.
16 Izizwe zizabona ziyangeke ngamandla azo wonke; zizabeka isandla phezu komlomo; indlebe zazo zibe yizacuthe.
Amawanga galikiraba ne gakwatibwa ensonyi, ne gamalibwamu amaanyi. Abantu baago balikwata ku mimwa gyabwe n’amatu gaabwe ne gaziba.
17 Zizakhotha uthuli njengenyoka, njengezihuquzelayo zomhlaba zizathuthumela ekuvalekeni kwazo, zizamesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, zesabe ngenxa yakho.
Balirya enfuufu ng’omusota, ng’ebisolo ebyewalula. Balifuluma obunnya bwabwe nga bakankana ne bakyuka okudda eri Mukama Katonda waffe, ne babatya.
18 Ngubani onguNkulunkulu njengawe, othethelela isono, adlule esiphambekweni sensali yelifa lakhe? Kagcini ulaka lwakhe kuze kube phakade, ngoba ethokoza emuseni.
Katonda ki omulala ali nga ggwe, asonyiwa ekibi era n’asonyiwa ebyonoono byabo abaasigalawo ku bantu be? Obusungu bwe tebubeerera emirembe gyonna, naye asanyukira okusaasira.
19 Uzaphenduka, asihawukele; uzanyathelela phansi iziphambeko zethu; wena uzaphosela zonke izono zabo ezinzikini zolwandle.
Alikyuka n’atukwatirwa ekisa nate; alirinnyirira ebibi byaffe, n’asuula ebyonoono byaffe byonna mu buziba bw’ennyanja.
20 Uzanika iqiniso kuJakobe, umusa kuAbrahama, owakufungela obaba bethu kusukela ensukwini zendulo.
Olikola eby’amazima bye wasuubiza Yakobo, n’ebyekisa bye wasuubiza Ibulayimu, nga bwe weeyama eri bajjajjaffe okuva mu nnaku ez’edda.
