Okusaba kwa Kaana
1 Awo Kaana n’asaba mu bigambo bino nti,
“Omutima gwange gusanyukira Mukama;
amaanyi gange geenyumiririza mu Mukama Katonda.
Akamwa kange kasekerera abalabe bange,
kubanga essanyu lyange liri mu bulokozi bwo.”
2 Tewali mutukuvu nga Mukama Katonda
tewali mulala wabula ggwe;
tewali Lwazi oluli nga Katonda waffe.
3 Toyogera nate nga weewaanawaana
wadde okuleka akamwa ko okwogera eby’amalala,
kubanga Mukama Katonda y’amanyi byonna,
era y’apima ebikolwa.
4 Emitego egy’ab’amaanyi gimenyebbwa
naye abanafu baweereddwa amaanyi.
5 Abo abakkutanga, be bapakasa okufuna emmere
naye abo abeetaaga, tebakyalumwa njala.
Eyali omugumba azadde abaana musanvu,
n’oyo alina abaana abangi, asobeddwa.
6 Mukama Katonda y’aleeta okufa, era y’awa obulamu;
atwala emagombe ate n’azuukiza.
7 Mukama Katonda y’ayavuwaza era y’agaggawaza;
atoowaza ate n’agulumiza.
8 Ayimusa abaavu okuva mu nfuufu;
asitula abali mu bwetaavu okuva mu ntuumu y’evvu;
n’abatuuza n’abalangira, era ne basikira entebe ey’ekitiibwa.
Kubanga emisingi gy’ensi gya Mukama Katonda, era okwo kw’atuuzizza ensi.
9 Anaakuumanga ebigere by’abatukuvu be,
naye ababi balisirisibwa mu kizikiza;
kubanga omuntu tawangula lw’amaanyi.
10 Abalabe ba Mukama Katonda balisaasaanyizibwa;
alibabwatukira ng’asinziira mu ggulu.
Mukama alisalira ensonda ez’ensi omusango;
aliwa kabaka we amaanyi,
era n’agulumiza amaanyi g’oyo gwe yafukako amafuta.
11 Awo Erukaana n’addayo ewuwe e Lama, naye omwana n’asigala ng’aweereza Mukama Katonda, ng’alabirirwa Eri.
Batabani ba Eri
12 Batabani ba Eri baali basajja ba mpisa mbi, nga tebatya Mukama Katonda. 13 Omuntu yenna bwe yawangayo ssaddaaka, omuweereza wa kabona yajjanga, ng’akutte ewuuma ey’amannyo asatu ng’ennyama ekyatokosebwa, 14 n’asonseka ewuuma mu nsaka oba mu bbinika, oba mu ntamu, oba mu sefuliya, era ebyo byonna ewuuma bye yakwasanga, kabona bye yeetwaliranga. Bwe batyo bwe baakolanga Abayisirayiri bonna abajjanga okusinziza e Siiro. 15 Ate amasavu bwe gaabanga tegannayokebwa, omuweereza wa kabona yajjanga n’agamba omuntu awaayo ssaddaaka nti, “Kabona muwe ku nnyama ayokye, kubanga tajja kukkiriza kutwala nnyama nfumbe ayagala mbisi yokka*.”
16 Omusajja bwe yamuddangamu nti, “Leka bamale okwokyako amasavu, olyoke otwale yonna gy’oyagala,” omuweereza yaddangamu nti, “Nedda, oteekwa okugimpa kaakano, bwe kitaba bwe kityo, nzija kugitwala lw’amaanyi.”
17 Ekibi ky’abavubuka abo ne kiba kinene nnyo mu maaso ga Mukama, kubanga baanyoomanga ekiweebwayo kya Mukama Katonda.
18 Samwiri n’aweerezanga mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda nga mulenzi muto, eyayambalanga ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya bafuta. 19 Nnyina n’amukolelanga ekyambalo n’akimutwaliranga, bwe yabanga ayambuse ne bba okuwaayo ssaddaaka eya buli mwaka. 20 Eri n’awa Erukaana ne mukyala we omukisa, ng’ayogera nti, “Mukama Katonda abawe abaana okudda mu kifo ky’oyo mukazi wo ono gwe yasaba, n’amuwaayo ng’ekirabo eri Mukama.” N’oluvannyuma baddayo eka. 21 Mukama n’aba wa kisa eri Kaana, n’azaala abaana aboobulenzi basatu, n’aboobuwala babiri. Omuvubuka Samwiri n’akulira mu maaso ga Mukama.
22 Awo Eri eyali akaddiye ennyo, n’awulira ebyo byonna batabani be bye baakolanga Abayisirayiri bonna, ne bwe beetabanga n’abakyala abaweerezanga ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. 23 N’abagamba nti, “Kiki ekibakoza ebifaanana bwe bityo? Bye mpulira okuva eri abantu bano bonna nga si birungi. 24 Nedda, baana bange; ebigambo bye mpulira ebisaasaana mu bantu ba Mukama si birungi n’akatono. 25 Omuntu bw’ayonoona eri muntu munne, Katonda† ayinza okubatabaganya, naye omuntu bw’ayonoona eri Mukama, ani anaamwegayiririra?” Naye ne batawuliriza bigambo bya kitaabwe, kubanga Mukama yali asazeewo okubazikiriza.
26 Awo omuvubuka Samwiri ne yeeyongera okukula, n’aba muganzi eri Mukama n’eri abantu.
Ebyalangibwa ku Nnyumba ya Eri
27 Awo ne wabaawo omusajja wa Katonda eyajja eri Eri, n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Sseeraga bulungi eri ennyumba ya jjajjaawo mu Misiri bwe baali bafugibwa Falaawo? 28 Nalonda jjajjaawo okuva mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri okuba kabona wange, okwambukanga ku kyoto kyange, okwoterezangako obubaane, n’okwambalanga ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya bafuta mu maaso gange. Era ne mpa ennyumba ya jjajjaawo ebiweebwayo byonna ebyokebwa Abayisirayiri. 29 Lwaki munyooma ssaddaaka yange n’ekiweebwayo kyange bye nalagira, okuweebwangayo mu yeekaalu yange? Lwaki ossaamu batabani bo ekitiibwa okunsinga, nga mweddiza ebitundu ebisinga obusava ku buli kiweebwayo abantu bange, Isirayiri, kye bawaayo?’
30 “Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri kyava ayogera nti, ‘Nasuubiza nti ennyumba yo n’ennyumba ya jjajjaawo be banaaweerezanga mu maaso gange ennaku zonna;’ naye kaakano Mukama agamba nti, ‘Kikafuuwe! Abanzisaamu ekitiibwa bennassangamu ekitiibwa, naye abo abonnyooma banaaswazibwanga. 31 Laba ekiseera kijja lwe ndikumalamu amaanyi era n’ennyumba ya jjajjaawo nayo ne ngimalamu amaanyi, waleme okubaawo n’omu aliwangaala okutuuka mu bukadde, 32 olyoke olabire ennaku mu nnyumba yange. Newaakubadde Isirayiri erifuna omukisa, tewalibaawo n’omu ku b’omu nnyumba yo aliwangaala n’akaddiwa. 33 Omuntu yekka ku bantu bo gwe siizikirize, gwe ndikkiriza okumpeereza ku kyoto kyange, alisigalawo kukulabya nnaku, na kukunakuwaza mu mutima, na kukukaabya maziga; era bazzukulu bo bonna banaafanga nga kyebajje bavubuke.’
34 “ ‘Ekirituuka ku batabani bo, Kofuni ne Finekaasi, ke kaliba akabonero gy’oli era bombi balifa ku lunaku lumu. 35 Ndyeyimusiza kabona omwesigwa, aligoberera ebiri mu mutima gwange ne mu mmeeme yange. Ndinywereza ddala ennyumba ye, era aliweerezanga ennaku zonna mu maaso g’oyo gwe ndifukako amafuta. 36 Era buli aliba asigaddewo ku b’omu nnyumba yo alijja n’amuvuunamira ng’amusaba ekitundu kya ffeeza n’omugaati ng’ayogera nti, “Nkwegayiridde nnonda okuba omu ku bakabona, nsobole okufuna ekyokulya.” ’ ”
