URuthe 3
1 UNawomi uninazala wasesithi kuye: Ndodakazi yami, ngingakudingeli ukuphumula yini ukuze kube kuhle kuwe?
Awo Nawomi nnyazaala wa Luusi n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki sikunoonyeza maka ag’okubeeramu, bakulabiririre eyo?
2 Ngakho-ke uBhowazi ayisuye wezihlobo zethu yini, obulamantombazana akhe? Khangela, wela ibhali ebaleni lokubhulela ngalobubusuku.
Ewa Bowaazi gy’obadde n’abaweereza be abawala, ye muganda waffe. Kale, ekiro kya leero ajja kuba ng’awewa sayiri mu gguuliro.
3 Ngakho geza uzigcobe, ugqoke isembatho sakho, wehlele ebaleni lokubhulela; ungazivezi endodeni ize iqede ukudla lokunatha.
Kale naaba osaabe obuwoowo, era oyambale engoye zo ezisinga obulungi. Oluvannyuma oserengete mu gguuliro; naye tomuganya kumanya nti wooli, okutuusa ng’amaze okulya n’okunywa.
4 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho eselala, uqaphelise indawo alala kiyo, ungene, ubususembula inyawo zakhe, ulale phansi; yena-ke uzakutshela ozakwenza.
Oluvannyuma ng’agalamiddeko wansi, weetegereze ekifo w’agalamidde, ogende obikkule ku bigere bye emirannamiro, naawe ogalamire awo; anaakubuulira eky’okukola.”
5 Wasesithi kuye: Konke okutshoyo kimi ngizakwenza.
Awo Luusi n’amugamba nti, “Nzija kukola nga bw’ondagidde.”
6 Wasesehlela ebaleni lokubhulela, wenza njengakho konke ayemlaye khona uninazala.
N’aserengeta mu gguuliro, n’akola byonna nga nnyazaala we bwe yamulagira.
7 Kwathi uBhowazi esedlile wanatha, lenhliziyo yakhe yathokoza, wayalala phansi ekucineni kwenqumbi yamabele. URuthe wasenyenya, wembula inyawo zakhe, walala phansi.
Awo Bowaazi bwe yamala okulya n’okunywa, era nga musanyufu, n’agenda n’agalamira ku mabbali g’entuumo ye ŋŋaano. Luusi naye n’asooba mpola mpola, n’abikkula ku bigere bye, n’agalamira awo kumpi naye.
8 Kwasekusithi phakathi kobusuku indoda yethuka, yaphenduka, khangela-ke owesifazana elele enyaweni zayo.
Ekiro mu ttumbi, Bowaazi ne yeekanga, bwe yeekyusa n’alaba omukazi agalamidde kumpi n’ebigere bye.
9 Yathi: Ungubani? Wasesithi: NginguRuthe incekukazi yakho; ngakho yendlala umphetho wesembatho sakho phezu kwencekukazi yakho, ngoba ungumhlengi.
N’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe ani?” Luusi n’addamu nti, “Nze Luusi omuweereza wo. Mbikkaako ku lugoye lwo kubanga oli mununuzi wa kika.”
10 Yasisithi: Kawubusiswe yiNkosi, ndodakazi yami, usuwenze umusa wakho ube mkhulu ekucineni kulowokuqala, njengoba ungalandelanga amajaha loba angabayanga loba anothileyo.
Bowaazi n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa muwala ggwe, olw’ekisa ekinene kyondaze okusinga eky’olubereberye, kubanga togenze wa bavubuka, abagagga oba abaavu.
11 Ngakho-ke, ndodakazi yami, ungesabi, ngizakwenzela konke okutshoyo, ngoba umuzi wonke wabantu bakithi uyazi ukuthi ungowesifazana oqotho.
Kaakano, muwala ggwe, totya. Nzija kukukolera buli kintu kyonna ky’onoosaba. Abantu bange bonna ab’omu kibuga, bamanyi ng’oli mukazi mwegendereza.
12 Yebo-ke, sibili, kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiyisihlobo esingumhlengi, kanti-ke kukhona isihlobo esingumhlengi esiseduze kulami.
Kya mazima ddala ndi mununuzi wo, naye waliwo ansingako.
13 Hlala lobubusuku; kuzakuthi-ke ekuseni uba ezakwenza imfanelo yesihlobo esingumhlengi, kulungile, kakuhlenge; kodwa uba engathandi ukukuhlenga, mina-ke ngizakuhlenga, kuphila kukaJehova. Lala kuze kuse.
Beera wano okutuusa obudde lwe bunaakya. Kale bw’anaayagala okukutwala, kinaaba kirungi; naye bw’anaaba nga tasiimye, Mukama Katonda nga bw’ali omulamu, nnaakutwala.”
14 Waselala enyaweni zayo kwaze kwasa; wavuka omunye engakananzeleli omunye. Yasisithi: Kakungaziwa ukuthi owesifazana ufikile ebaleni lokubhulela.
N’agalamira kumpi n’ebigere bye okutuusa enkeera, naye n’agolokoka nga tebunnalaba addeyo eka. Naye Bowaazi n’amukuutira nti, “Kireme okumanyibwa nti omukazi yazzeeko mu gguuliro.”
15 Yasisithi: Letha isembatho osigqokileyo, usibambe; wasesibamba, yasilinganisa izilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali, yamethesa; wasengena emzini.
Era n’amugamba aleete omunagiro gw’ayambadde; n’agukwata, n’amugerera ebigero mukaaga ebya sayiri, n’abimutikka, oluvannyuma Luusi n’addayo mu kibuga.
16 Kwathi esefike kuninazala, wathi: Ungubani, ndodakazi yami? Wasemtshela konke indoda eyayimenzele khona.
Bwe yatuuka eri nnyazaala we, Nawomi n’amubuuza nti, “Byagenze bitya muwala wange?” N’amubuulira ebintu byonna Bowaazi bye yamukoledde,
17 Wathi: Ingiphe lezizilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali, ngoba ithe kimi: Ungayi kunyokozala ungelalutho.
era n’ayongerako nti, “Yampadde ebigero bino omukaaga ebya sayiri, n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Toddayo wa nnyazaala wo ngalo nsa.’”
18 Wasesithi: Hlala, ndodakazi yami, uze wazi ukuthi udaba luzaphetha njani, ngoba indoda kayiyikuphumula ize iluqede udaba lamuhla.
Nawomi n’amugamba nti, “Gumiikiriza, muwala wange, olabe ebigambo gye binakkira, kubanga leero omusajja oyo tajja kuwummula okutuusa ensonga eyo lw’anagimala.”
