Amahubo 1

1 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongahambi ngeseluleko sababi, ongemi endleleni yezoni, ongahlali esihlalweni sabagconayo;

Alina omukisa omuntu atatambulira mu kuteesa kw’ababi, era atayimirira mu kibiina ky’ababi, newaakubadde okutuula n’abo abanyooma ebya Katonda.

2 kodwa intokozo yakhe isemlayweni weNkosi, uzindla ngomlayo wayo emini lebusuku.

Naye asanyukira okugondera amateeka ga Mukama, era mu mateeka ago mw’alowooleza emisana n’ekiro.

3 Njalo uzakuba njengesihlahla esihlanyelwe emifuleni yamanzi, esithela isithelo saso ngesikhathi saso, ohlamvu laso kaliyikubuna; lakho konke akwenzayo kuzaphumelela.

Afaanana ng’omuti ogwasimbibwa ku mabbali g’omugga, ogubala ebibala byagwo mu ntuuko zaabyo, n’ebikoola byagwo tebiwotoka. Na buli ky’akola kivaamu birungi byereere.

4 Ababi kabanjalo, kodwa banjengamakhoba umoya owaphephulayo.

Naye abakola ebibi tebakola bwe batyo. Bali ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuuliddwa.

5 Ngakho ababi kabayikuma ekwahlulelweni, lezoni enhlanganweni yabalungileyo.

Noolwekyo abakola ebibi tebaligumira lunaku lwa kusalirako musango; newaakubadde aboonoonyi okuyimirira mu kibiina ky’abatuukirivu.

6 Ngoba iNkosi iyayazi indlela yabalungileyo, kodwa indlela yababi izabhubha.

Kubanga Mukama alabirira ekkubo ly’abatuukirivu, naye ekkubo ly’abakola ebibi liribula.
