Ekikula kya Kibbumba
1 Neso aale okubba oMuyudaaya kigasa niki, ooba, mugasoki oguli omu kukomola?
2 Ala kigasira nakimo era mu buli ngeri! Engeri esookera nakimo niiyo eenu eti, aBayudaaya niibo oKibbumba abeyakwatisirye ebibono ebirimu obukwendabwe.
3 Neye, kaisi oolwo owekibba kiti abamo kwibo tibairire okubba abeesigwa mwekyo, dala okutabba abeesigwa kwabwe kulobeesererya oKibbumba okubba omwesigwa?
4 Ala kadi naire. Ibo abantu nʼowebabba ababbeyibbeyi abatali beesigwa batya, iye oKibbumba asigala nga mwesigwa, era dala ngʼowebakiwandiikire bati:
“Kaisi abantu bakakase nga iwe oKibbumba
ebyobatumulaku owebiri mazima meereere;
era obasingisyenge omusango owebabba bakuvunaana.”
5 Aanu niiwo omoiza egyayezya okukobera ati, “Neye kaisi owekibba kiti ekyaiswe aBayudaaya okubba abantu abaabira eino oku kukola ebikole ebibbibibbi kiriwo, kulagira nakimo ngʼoKibbumba iye owaali niiye yenkani atuukiriire? Neso aale ekyo iswe ngʼabantu waliwo ekitwezya okukitumuuliriraku? Aale tikibba kyamu okukoba tuti oKibbumba okutubonereza owetubbenga abba akola kicaamu?” Aanu-so mba ntumula kusinzirira ku nseega yʼobuntu.
6 Neye ala bbe. Singa oKibbumba yeekubbira omu kulamula, kaisi aale tete yalibba nʼobutuuceki omu kulamula abantu bonabona oku kyalo?
7 Aanu ogondi wakobera ati, “Mbona nti ekya nze okubba omuntu atali omwesigwa kibba kyongera kulagira nakimo ngʼoKibbumba iye, okutafaananaku na nze, owaali omwesigwa era ekyo ni kyongera okumuweesya ekitiisya. Lwaki okukola ebikole ebibbibibbi okwange, tete kukaali kunzweraku ni bansalira musango kunsinga?”
8 Lwaki titukoba-bukobi tuti, “Oleke twekalangulire omu kukola ebikole ebibbibibbi kaisi obusa bwa Kibbumba bunyinyintire, kaisi atyo oKibbumba asune ekitiisya?” Era ngʼabantu abamo abatukira embiro owebatusibiriryaku bati nambu tutyo wetuli kukobanga abantu bakole. Abo abatusibaku ebyo, oKibbumba yalibasalira omusango ni gubasinga, kaisi dala ngʼowekibasaaniire.
Mpaawo muntu atuukiriire
9 Olwo atyanu tukitwale tutya? Tuti iswe aBayudaaya tuli gwai gwaiku okukiraku abantu aBatali Bayudaaya? Ala kadi naire! Egitusookeire e nyuma eedi mmalire okubalaga nti abantu bonabona aamo, ooba Bayudaaya ooba aBatali Bayudaaya, bali ansi wʼeifuge lyʼekibbikibbi,
10 era ngʼeBiwandiike owebikoba:
“Mpaawo kadi moiza atuukiriire omu maiso ga Kibbumba.
11 Mpaawo kadi moiza ategeera oKibbumba,
era mpaawo kadi moiza afaayo okumumanya.
12 Abantu bonabona bazwire oku Kibbumba;
ni basuuka ekitagasa egyali.
Mpaawo kadi moiza akola ebisa,
era kadi moiza naire.
13 Ebibono ebibazwamu bifunya ooti kivundi ekizwa omu magombe agebasaanukwire;
ennimi gyabwe gibbutula bubbeyi bwereere.
Ebibono byabwe bikangabalya ooti saagwa wa mpiri.
14 Era buli kiseera babba baduunya ngongi na kukaasa biraami.
15 Bavulumuka mangu okwaba okutemula nʼokwita.
16 Buli egibabita baleka kujigirika na mpomba.
17 Ekintu ekyʼokubba omwidembe tibakimaite.
18 Ekyʼokuwa oKibbumba ekitiisya kibabulamu.”
AMateeka tigatusiimisya oKibbumba
19 Neye atyanu bainange, tukimanyicirye tuti buli kimo ekiri omu Mateeka kikwata ku niiswe aBayudaaya, iswe abekyetaagisya okwabira oku Mateeka. Kaisi, okubitira mwekyo, tiwaabbaawo muntu yenayena asuna ekiyekwatirirya nambu kaisi awunuke okumubonereza era kaisi oKibbumba ayezye okulamula abantu bʼoku kyalo bonabona kyekimo.
20 Nʼolwekyo, mpaawo muntu yenayena ogubalitoolaku omusango omu maiso ga Kibbumba okubitira omu kusengererya aMateeka, olwakubba mpaawo ayezya okugatuukirirya gonagona. Ekyagirire ni batuwa aMateeka, kyabbaire kiti gatubbeere okutumanyikisya, okubitira omu kuleetawo okulumiriza omu mwoyo, bati ekintu kirebe omuntu ekyabba akolere kibbikibbi.
Ekitusiimisya omu maiso ga Kibbumba
21 Omu biseera ebyʼenyuma kityo wekyabbaire. Neye atyanu, oKibbumba yabbutukisirye atyo nʼatwezyesya okumanya engeri egyatusuucaamu abatuukiriire omu maisoge. Newankubbaire ngʼengeri eyo aMateeka aamo nʼeBiwandiike byʼabanaabbi byagiijuliireku, iyo yeemala anambula kubbaaku na kakwate konakona nabyo.
22 Ekikoba kiti, oKibbumba asiima abantu lwʼokwikiririrya mu Yesu Kurisito okubali nakwo. Ekyo oKibbumba akikolera abantu bonabona ababba baikiririrya omu Yesu, ooba Bayudaaya ooba tiBayudaaya, olwakubba iye tiyeekubbira.
23 Kiri kiti, buli muntu yabbengere omu maiso ga Kibbumba, era nʼatayezya okuseseegerera oku kitiisya ekyatutakirya.
24 Neye era, okubitira omu kisaakye ekitusuna ngʼekirabo-obulabo, oKibbumba atutoolaku omusango nʼatubala abantu abaasiima, kubitira mu Kurisito Yesu oyo atununula okutuwunuca ekibonerezo kyʼeibbengo lyaiswe.
25 OKibbumba yawaireyo oYesu oyo ngʼesadaaka, kaisi olwʼeisaayerye eribasukire, abbe niiye omugaito gwʼebikole ebibbibibbi byʼabo abamwikirirya. Era oKibbumba asinzirira kuukwo nʼabibasoniya. OKibbumba okukola ekyo, yagendereire kulaga ngʼowaali mutuukirirye. Ebiseera ebyʼe nyumaku eedi, olwʼobuguminkiriza obwali nabwo eeri abantu, oKibbumba yasoniyanga abo ababbenganga omu maisoge nʼatababonereza.
26 Neye okuti, ekyo ekya Kibbumba okutuumisya ebibbibibbi byʼabantu amaiso kyakomere, kaisi ayezye okulaga ngʼowaali mutuukirirye. Nʼomu ngeri eyo, oKibbumba atyo ni yeeraga nga iye owaateekubbira, era ati omuntu aikiririrya omu Yesu, oKibbumba gwasiima.
27 Neso waliwo ali nʼekiyeenyumiriziraku ati niikyo ekigira oKibbumba nʼamusiima? Mpaawo. Abba nga mpaawo, niki tete aale ekyankagirire aBayudaaya ni beenyumiriza? Lwakubba bakwata aMateeka? Bbe, neye lwʼensonga eti, oKibbumba asiima omuntu lwa kwikiririrya mu Yesu.
28 Kale iswe tukikakasa tuti oKibbumba asiima omuntu lwa kwikirirya okwabba nakwo omu Yesu, neye tirwakubba kiti atuukirirya ebyo aMateeka ebigalagira.
29 Neso aale oKibbumba nago Kibbumba wʼaBayudaaya bonkani? Ibo abantu aBatali Bayudaaya ibo tiwaabwe bona? Ala waabwe bona
30 olwakubba oKibbumba ali moiza yenkani. Era, onyere oyo niiye asiima aBayudaaya ibo abakomola aamo nʼabo aBatali Bayudaaya abatakomola, ngʼasinzirira oku kwikiririrya omu Yesu okubali nakwo.
31 Abba nga kityo wekiri kiti oKibbumba asiima omuntu lwakubba na kwikirirya, ekitegeeza aMateeka atyanu tubba tugaitirewo? Ala kadi tikiri kityo, wazira owetwikiririrya omu Yesu tubba tugatuukirirya-butuukiriri.
