Nkukoowoola Ggwe, Ayi Katonda wange, okusaasira kwange, Ggwe eyantonda, era ataneerabira nze bwe nnakwerabira Ggwe. Nkuyita oyingire mu mmeeme yange, gy’oteekerateekera Ggwe kennyini olw’okwegomba kw’ogiteekamu. Tondeka kaakano nga nkukoowoola, Ggwe eyankulembera nga sinnakukoowoola, n’onkubiriza n’okuyita kungi okw’engeri ez’enjawulo, okwaddiŋŋananga, ndyoke nkuwulire nga ndi wala, nkyuke, nkukoowoole Ggwe eyali ankoowoola; kubanga Ggwe, Mukama, wasangula byonna ebibi bye nnali ngwanidde, oleme okusasula emikono gyange egyo gye nnakuwabirako; era wakulembera ebirungi byonna bye nnandibadde ngwanidde, olyoke osasule omulimu gw’emikono gyo egyo gye wantondesa; kubanga nga sinnabaawo, Ggwe wali obaddewo; so nze saali kintu kyonna kye wandiwadde okubaawo; naye laba, ndi wano, olw’obulungi bwo obwakulembera byonna by’onfudde ne bye wantondamu. Kubanga tewali kye wanneetaagira, so nze siri kirungi ekyenkana awo okukuyamba, Ggwe Mukama wange era Katonda wange; si mu kukuweereza, ng’olinga ayinza okukoowa mu kukola; oba ng’amaanyi go gandikendedde singa tegaafuna buweereza bwange: so si kulima buweereza bwo ng’ettaka erisigala nga teririmiddwa singa nze sikulima: wabula okukuweereza n’okukusinza, ndyoke nfune okuva gy’Oli obulamu obulungi, Ggwe gwe kiva nti ndi kitonde ekiyinza okufuna obulamu obulungi.

Essuula II

Kubanga ekitonde kyo kibaawo olw’obujjuvu bw’obulungi bwo, ekirungi ekitayinza kukugasa mu ngeri yonna, so ekitaava mu Ggwe (sikulwa nga kyenkanankana naawe), kiryoke kibeewo, kubanga kyali kiyinza okukolebwa Ggwe. Kubanga eggulu n’ensi bye watonda ku Lubereberye, byali bigwanidde ki okuva gy’Oli? Ebitonde eby’omwoyo n’eby’omubiri bye watonda mu Magezi go, byogere kye byali bigwanidde okuva gy’Oli, okwesigama ku Ggwe (ne mu mbeera yaabyo eyo, buli kimu mu ngeri yaakyo, ey’okutandika obutandisi n’obutaba na kifaananyi, oba bya mwoyo oba bya mubiri, nga byetegefu okuwabira mu ddembe eritaliiko kkomo ne mu butafaanana naawe obw’ewala ennyo;—eby’omwoyo, wadde nga tebyalina kifaananyi, nga bisinga eby’omubiri wadde nga byalina ekifaananyi, n’eby’omubiri wadde nga tebyalina kifaananyi, nga bisinga obutabaawo n’akatono), era bwe bityo byesigame ku Kigambo kyo nga tebirina kifaananyi, okuggyako nga Ekigambo ekyo kyennyini kibikomezzaawo mu Bumu bwo, ne biweebwa ekifaananyi, era okuva gy’Oli, Ggwe Ekirungi Ekimu Ekisinga byonna, ne bifuuka byonna birungi nnyo. Byali bigwanidde bitya okuva gy’Oli okubaawo wadde nga tebirina kifaananyi, ng’ate na kino kyokka tebyandibadde nakyo singa si Ggwe?

Ekintu eky’omubiri kyali kigwanidde kitya okuva gy’Oli okubaawo, wadde nga tekirabika era nga tekirina kifaananyi? kubanga na kino tekyandibaddewo, singa si Ggwe eyakikola; noolwekyo, olw’okuba nga tekyaliwo, tekyayinza kugwanira kukolebwa Ggwe. Oba ekitonde eky’omwoyo ekyali kyakatandika kyali kigwanidde kitya okuva gy’Oli, wadde okuyuuguuma eruuyi n’eruuyi mu kizikiza ng’obuziba,—nga tekifaanana naawe, okuggyako nga Ekigambo ekyo kyennyini kyali kikikyusizza okudda eri Oyo eyakitonda, era bwe kyamulisibwa Ye, ne kifuuka omusana; wadde nga tekyenkana naye, naye nga kifaananako n’Ekifaananyi ekyo ekyenkanankana naawe? Kubanga ng’omubiri bwe guli, okubaawo si kye kimu n’okuba omulungi, kubanga singa kyali bwe kityo, teguyinza kuba mubi; bwe kityo n’omwoyo ogwatondebwa, okuba omulamu si kye kimu n’okuba omulamu mu magezi; kubanga singa kyali bwe kityo, gwandibadde mugezi awatali kukyuka. Naye kirungi gyegu okunywerera ku Ggwe bulijjo; guleme okufiirwa omusana gwe gwafuna nga gukyuka okudda gy’Oli, olw’okukyuka okukuvaako, ne guddira mu bulamu obufaanana obuziba obw’ekizikiza. Kubanga naffe, abali ekitonde eky’omwoyo ku bikwata ku mmeeme, bwe twakyuka ne tukuvaako Ggwe omusana gwaffe, edda twali kizikiza mu bulamu obwo; era tukyafuba nga tuli wakati mu bisigalira by’ekizikiza kyaffe, okutuusa lwe tulifuuka obutuukirivu bwo mu Mwana wo Omu yekka, ng’ensozi za Katonda. Kubanga twali misango gyo, egiri ng’obuziba obunene.

Essuula III

Kye wayogera ku ntandikwa y’okutonda nti, Wabeerewo obutangaavu, ne waba obutangaavu; nkitegeera, si mu ngeri etasaana, nti kyogera ku kitonde eky’omwoyo: kubanga waali wamaze okubaawo obulamu obw’engeri emu, bwe wali oyinza okwakiza. Naye nga bwe kitaalina kye kyakubanja olw’obulamu obuyinza okwakizibwa, bwe kityo ne kaakano nga kimaze okubaawo, tekyalina kye kyakubanja olw’okwakizibwa. Kubanga embeera yaakyo etaalina kifaananyi teyandikusanyusizza, okuggyako nga kifuuse omusana, era ekyo si lwa kubaawo obubeezi, wabula lwa kutunuulira omusana ogwakiza, n’okugunywererako; bwe kityo okuba nti kyali kiramu, era nga kiramu mu ssanyu, tekiyinza kukyebaza kintu kirala wabula ekisa kyo, bwe kyakyusibwa mu ngeri esingako obulungi okudda eri Ekyo ekitayinza kukyuka kufuuka ekibi oba ekisingako obulungi; Ekyo ye Ggwe wekka, kubanga Ggwe wekka gw’obeerawo mu ngeri etaliimu kugattagatta; eri Ggwe okuba omulamu si kintu kimu, n’okuba omulamu mu mukisa kintu kirala, kubanga Ggwe kennyini ggwe Ssanyu lyo.

Essuula IV

Kale kiki ekyandibulidde obulungi bwo, bw’oli Ggwe kennyini, wadde ebintu bino tebyandibaddewo n’akatono, oba ne bisigala nga tebirina kifaananyi; bye wakola, si lwa bwetaavu bwonna, wabula olw’obujjuvu bw’obulungi bwo, ng’obiziyiza era ng’obikyusa okudda mu kifaananyi, so si ng’essanyu lyo lyandituukiridde ku lw’ebyo? Kubanga Ggwe, atuukiridde, obutatuukirira bwabyo tebukusanyusa, era kyebyava bituukirizibwa Ggwe, ne bikusanyusa; so si nga Ggwe atatuukiridde, era nga naawe wandituukiriziddwa olw’okutuukirizibwa kwabyo. Kubanga Omwoyo wo omulungi ddala yali atambulira waggulu w’amazzi, so si kuwanirirwa mazzi, ng’alinga awummudde ku go. Kubanga abo Omwoyo wo omulungi b’ayogerwako nti abawummulirako, abawummuza mu Ye kennyini. Naye okwagala kwo okutavunda era okutakyuka, okwemala kwokka mu kwo kwennyini, kwali kutambulira waggulu w’obulamu obwo bwe wali otonze; obulamu obwo, okuba obulamu si kye kimu n’okuba obulamu obw’essanyu, kubanga nabwo buba bulamu nga buyuuguuma eruuyi n’eruuyi mu kizikiza kyabwo: kye kisigalidde kwe kukyukira Oyo eyabukola, n’okweyongera okuba omulamu olw’ensulo y’obulamu, ne kulaba omusana mu musana gwe, n’okutuukirizibwa, n’okwakizibwa, n’okuweebwa obulungi.

Laba, kaakano Obusatu bundabikira ng’abali mu ndabirwamu eteraba bulungi, Obusatu obwo ye Ggwe Katonda wange, kubanga Ggwe, Ayi Kitaffe, mu Oyo ali Olubereberye lw’amagezi gaffe, ge Magezi go agaazaalibwa okuva mu Ggwe, agenkanankana naawe era agabeerawo emirembe gyonna wamu naawe, kwe kugamba, mu Mwana wo, mwe watondera eggulu n’ensi. Twogedde bingi kaakano ku Ggulu ly’eggulu, ne ku nsi etaalabika era etaalina kifaananyi, ne ku buziba obw’ekizikiza, nga tutunuulira obutanywera obw’okuwaba-waba obw’obutaba na kifaananyi bwakyo obw’omwoyo, singa tekyakyukira Oyo gwe kyafunamu obulamu bwe kyalina mu kiseera ekyo, era olw’okwakiza kwe ne kifuuka obulamu obulungi, era ne kiba eggulu ly’eggulu eryo, eryateekebwa oluvannyuma wakati w’amazzi n’amazzi. Era mu linnya Katonda kaakano nnategeeramu Kitaffe, eyakola ebintu bino, ne mu linnya Lubereberye, Omwana, mwe yabikolera; era bwe nnali nzikiriza Katonda wange nga Busatu, ne nneeyongera okunoonya mu bigambo bye ebitukuvu, era laba, Omwoyo wo yali atambulira ku mazzi. Laba Obusatu, Katonda wange, Kitaffe, n’Omwana, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Omutonzi w’ebitonde byonna.

Naye nsonga ki, Ayi Omusana ayogera amazima?—eri Ggwe gye nnyimusa omutima gwange, gulemenga okunjigiriza ebitaliimu, gobamu ekizikiza kyagwo; era ntegeeza, nkwegayiridde, olw’okwagala, maama waffe, ntegeeza ensonga, nkwegayiridde, lwaki oluvannyuma lw’okwogera ku ggulu, ne ku nsi etaalabika era etaalina kifaananyi, n’ekizikiza ekyali ku buziba, Ebyawandiikibwa byo olwo ne biryoka byogera ku Mwoyo wo? Kyali kubanga kyali kisaanidde okumumanyisa nga “atambulira waggulu”; era ekyo tekyandiyogeddwa, okuggyako nga kisoose kwogerwako ekyo Omwoyo wo kye yali ategeerekeka nti atambulira waggulu waakyo. Kubanga teyatambulira waggulu wa Kitaffe, newakubadde waggulu w’Omwana, so teyandiyogeddwako mu butuufu nti atambulira waggulu, singa yali tatambulira waggulu wa kintu kyonna. Kale kyali kisaanidde okusooka okwogera ku ekyo kye yandibadde atambulira waggulu waakyo; oluvannyuma Ye, gwe kyali kisaanidde obutamwogerako mu ngeri ndala okuggyako ng’atambulira waggulu. Naye lwaki tekyali kisaanidde okumumanyisa mu ngeri endala, okuggyako ng’atambulira waggulu?

Essuula VII

Kale oyo asobola, agoberere n’okutegeera kwe Omutume wo, w’ayogera bw’ati nti, Kubanga okwagala kwo kufukiddwa mu mitima gyaffe ku bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu gwe twaweebwa: n’awo ku bikwata ku birabo eby’omwoyo, w’atuyigiriza era w’atulaga ekkubo eddungi erisinga gonna, ery’okwagala; n’awo w’akufukaamirira ku lwaffe, tulyoke tumanye okwagala kwa Kristo okusukkiridde okutegeera kwonna. Noolwekyo okuva ku lubereberye yali atambulira waggulu w’amazzi, ng’asukkiridde byonna. Kino nnaakyogera eri ani? nnaayogera ntya ku buzito bw’okwegomba okubi, obusika wansi mu bunnya obuwanvu; ne ku ngeri okwagala gye kuyimusaamu nate ku bw’Omwoyo wo eyali atambulira waggulu w’amazzi? nnaakyogera eri ani? nnaakyogera ntya? Kubanga si mu kifo nti tunnyikira ne tubbulukuka. Kiki ekiyinza okufaanana ennyo, naye ate ekitafaanana n’akatono? Ebyo bye byegombo, kwe kwagala; obutali bulongoofu bw’omwoyo gwaffe nga bukulukutira wansi olw’okwagala ebyeraliikiriza, n’obutukuvu bw’Omwoyo wo nga butusitula waggulu olw’okwagala okuwummula okutaliimu kweraliikirira; tulyoke tuyimuse emitima gyaffe eri Ggwe, Omwoyo wo gy’atambulira waggulu w’amazzi; tutuuke ku kuwummula okwo okusukkiridde, emmeeme yaffe bw’erimala okuyita mu mazzi agatalina we tuyinza kuyimirira.

Essuula VIII

Bamalayika baawaba, emmeeme y’omuntu n’ewaba, era bwe batyo ne balaga obunnya mu buziba obwo obw’ekizikiza, obwali bwetegefu okumira ekitonde kyonna eky’omwoyo, singa Ggwe tewayogera okuva ku lubereberye nti, Wabeerewo obutangaavu, ne waba obutangaavu, era buli kitonde ekitegeera ekiwulize eky’omu Kibuga kyo eky’omu ggulu ne kikunywererako, ne kiwummulira mu Mwoyo wo, atambulira waggulu wa buli kintu ekikyuka, nga Ye takyuka. Bwe kitandibadde bwe kityo, n’eggulu ly’eggulu lyandibadde mu lyo lyokka buziba bwa kizikiza; naye kaakano musana mu Mukama waffe. Kubanga ne mu butawummula obwo obw’ennaku obw’emyoyo egyawaba ne gyeyolekamu ekizikiza kyagyo, bwe gyayambulwa ekyambalo ky’omusana gwo, Ggwe obikkula bulungi obukulu bw’ekitonde ekirina amagezi ge wakola; ekitayinza kumalibwa kintu kyonna ekiri wansi wo okukiwa okuwummula okw’essanyu; era bwe kityo wadde kyo kyennyini. Kubanga Ggwe, Ayi Katonda waffe, olyakira ekizikiza kyaffe: okuva gy’Oli kwe kuva ekyambalo kyaffe eky’omusana; olwo ekizikiza kyaffe kiriba ng’ettuntu. Weewaayo gye ndi, Ayi Katonda wange, ddayo gye ndi: laba njagala, era obanga kitono nnyo, njagala okwagala n’amaanyi agasingawo. Siyinza kupima ne ntegeera okwagala kwenkana wa kwe nkyabulamu, obulamu bwange bulyoke budduke bugwe mu kifuba kyo, ne butakyuka kudda mabega, okutuusa lwe bulikwekebwa mu kyama ky’amaaso go. Kino kyokka kye mmanyi, nti zinsanze bwe mba nga siri mu Ggwe: si bweru wange wokka wabula ne munda yange; era obungi bwonna obutali Katonda wange, gye ndi bwereere bwokka.

Naye Kitaffe oba Omwana, tebaali batambulira waggulu w’amazzi? Bwe kiba nga kitegeeza mu kifo, ng’omubiri, kale n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu teyali; naye bwe kiba nga kitegeeza obukulu bw’Obwakatonda obutakyuka obusukkiridde ebintu byonna ebikyuka, kale Kitaffe, n’Omwana, n’Omwoyo Omutukuvu bonna baali batambulira waggulu w’amazzi. Kale lwaki kino kyogerwa ku Mwoyo wo yekka, lwaki kyogerwa ku Ye yekka? Ng’alinga eyali mu kifo, Ye atali mu kifo, Ye yekka gwe kyawandiikibwako nti Ye Kirabo kyo? Mu Kirabo kyo mwe tuwummulira; eyo gye tusanyukira mu Ggwe. Okuwummula kwaffe kye kifo kyaffe. Okwagala kwe kutusitulira eyo, era Omwoyo wo omulungi ayimusa obwetoowaze bwaffe okuva ku miryango gy’okufa. Mu kusiima kwo mwe muli emirembe gyaffe. Omubiri olw’obuzito bwagwo gwesika okudda mu kifo kyagwo. Obuzito tebusika wansi kyokka, wabula eri ekifo kyabwo. Omuliro gwesika waggulu, ejjinja wansi. Bisikibwa obuzito bwabyo, binoonya ebifo byabyo. Amafuta bwe gafukibwa wansi w’amazzi, gasituka ne gabeera waggulu w’amazzi; amazzi bwe gafukibwa ku mafuta, gakka wansi w’amafuta. Bisikibwa obuzito bwabyo okunoonya ebifo byabyo. Bwe biba bweru wa nteekateeka yaabyo, tebiwummula; bwe bizzibwa mu nteekateeka yaabyo, biwummula. Obuzito bwange kwe kwagala kwange; kwe kuntwala, buli gye ntwalibwa. Twakizibwa omuliro, Ekirabo kyo kye kitukoleeza; ne tusitulibwa waggulu; twaka munda, ne tweyongera mu maaso. Twambuka amakubo go agali mu mutima gwaffe, ne tuyimba oluyimba lw’okwambuka; twaka munda n’omuliro gwo, n’omuliro gwo omulungi, ne tugenda; kubanga twambuka eri emirembe gya Yerusaalemi: kubanga nnasanyuka olw’abo abaŋŋamba nti, Tugende mu nnyumba ya Mukama. Eyo okusiima kwo gye kwatuteeka, tuleme okwegomba kintu kirala kyonna, wabula okubeera eyo emirembe gyonna.

Kirina omukisa ekitonde ekyo, ekitali Ggwe, naye ekitamanyangako mbeera ndala, wabula nti amangu ddala nga kyakatondebwa, awatali bbanga lyonna wakati, kyasitulibwa waggulu ku bw’Ekirabo kyo, Oyo atambulira waggulu wa buli kintu ekikyuka, olw’okuyita okwo kwe wayogeramu nti, Wabeerewo obutangaavu, ne waba obutangaavu. Naye mu ffe kino kyabaawo mu biseera eby’enjawulo, kubanga twali kizikiza, ne tufuulibwa omusana: naye ku kitonde ekyo kyogerwa kyokka kye kyandibadde, singa tekyakizibwa. Era kino kyogerwa bwe kityo, ng’alinga kyali kiwaba-waba era kya kizikiza olubereberye; ensonga eyakifuula ekirala eryoke erabike, kwe kugamba, nti bwe kyakyukira Omusana ogutaggwaawo, ne kifuuka omusana. Oyo ayinza, akitegeere; asabe gy’Oli. Lwaki antawaanya, ng’alinga nze nsobola okwakira buli muntu ajja mu nsi muno?

Essuula XI

Ani ku ffe ategeera Obusatu Obuyinzabyonna? naye ate ani atabwogerako, obanga ddala by’ayogerako bwe Busatu obwo? Emmeeme emanyi ky’eyogerako ng’eyogera ku bwo, ntono nnyo. Era bakaayana ne bawakana, naye, awatali mirembe, tewali muntu alaba kwolesebwa okwo. Nandyagadde abantu balowooze ku bintu bino ebisatu, ebiri mu bo bennyini. Ebisatu bino ddala byawukana nnyo ku Busatu: nze mbategeeza bubeezi we bayinza okwegezesa, era eyo bakebere era bawulire nga bwe bali ewala. Kale ebisatu bye njogeddeko bye bino: Okubaawo, Okumanya, n’Okwagala. Kubanga Ndi, era Mmanyi, era Njagala: Ndi nga mmanyi era nga njagala: era Mmanyi nti ndi, era nti njagala: era Njagala okubaawo, n’okumanya. Kale mu bino ebisatu, oyo asobola alabe obulamu nga bwe butayinza kwawulwamu, weewaawo obulamu bumu, amagezi gamu, n’obubeezi bumu; weewaawo, ku nkomerero, enjawulo eriwo nga bw’etayinza kwawulwamu, naye nga ate njawulo. Mazima omuntu kino akirina mu maaso ge; yeetunuulire munda, alabe, ambuulire. Naye bw’azuula era n’asobola okwogera ekintu kyonna ku bino, aleme okulowooza nti olw’ekyo azudde Ekyo ekiri waggulu w’ebyo, Ekitakyuka, Ekibaawo awatali kukyuka, era Ekimanya awatali kukyuka, era Ekyagala awatali kukyuka; era oba nga olw’ebisatu bino, ne mu Katonda mulimu Obusatu, oba nga byonna ebisatu biri mu buli Omu, ebisatu ne biba bya buli Omu; oba nga mu ngeri zombi omulundi gumu, mu ngeri ey’ekitalo, mu bumu naye ate mu ngeri nnyingi, Kyo kyennyini nga kye kkomo lyakyo munda mu kyo, naye nga tekiriiko kkomo; mwe kibeerera, era mwe kimanyibwa Kyo kyennyini, era mwe kyemala Kyo kyokka, nga kye kimu bulijjo awatali kukyuka, olw’obukulu obungi obw’Obumu bwakyo,—ani ayinza okukitegeera amangu? ani ayinza okukyogera mu ngeri yonna? ani ayinza, mu ngeri yonna, okukisalirawo awatali kwegendereza?

Weeyongere mu kwatula kwo, gamba Mukama Katonda wo, ggwe okukkiriza kwange, nti Mutukuvu, mutukuvu, mutukuvu, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, mu linnya lyo mwe twabatizibwa, Kitaffe, Omwana era Mwoyo Mutukuvu; mu linnya lyo mwe tubatiza, Kitaffe, Omwana era Mwoyo Mutukuvu, kubanga ne mu ffe, mu Kristo we Katonda mwe yatondera eggulu n’ensi, kwe kugamba, abantu b’omwoyo n’ab’omubiri ab’Ekkanisa ye.

Era kubanga emmeeme yaffe yali yeeraliikiridde munda yaffe, twakujjukira, Ayi Mukama, okuva mu nsi ya Yoludaani, n’olusozi olwo olwenkanankana naawe, naye olwafuuka olutono ku lwaffe: ekizikiza kyaffe ne kitunyiiza, ne tukyukira Ggwe, ne waba obutangaavu. Era, laba, edda twali kizikiza, naye kaakano tuli musana mu Mukama waffe.

Naye kaakano tukyatambula lwa kukkiriza so si lw’amaaso, kubanga tulokoleddwa lwa ssuubi; naye essuubi erirabibwa si ssuubi. Kaakano obuziba bukoowoola obuziba, naye kati mu kuwuluguma kw’ebiyiriro byo. Kaakano n’oyo agamba nti, ssaasobola kwogera nammwe ng’ab’omwoyo, naye nayogera nammwe ng’ab’omubiri, ye kennyini kaakano talowooza nti amaze okukifuna, era yeerabira ebyo ebiri emabega n’aluubirira ebyo ebiri mu maaso, era asinda ng’azitoowereddwa, n’emmeeme ye eyaayaanira Katonda omulamu, ng’empeewo bw’eyaayaanira emigga gy’amazzi, n’agamba nti, Ndigenda ddi? ng’ayagala okwambazibwa ennyumba ye eriva mu ggulu, era akoowoola obuziba buno obwa wansi, ng’agamba nti, temwefaananyirizanga ba mirembe gino, naye mukyusibwe olw’okudda obuggya mu birowoozo byammwe.

Laba, nange ngamba nti, Ayi Katonda wange, Oli ludda wa? laba, gy’Oli! mu Ggwe mwe nzisiza omukka katono, bwe nfuka emmeeme yange nga ndi nzekka mu ddoboozi ery’essanyu n’okutendereza, eddoboozi ly’oyo akuuma olunaku olw’embaga. Naye ate nate eba mu nnaku, kubanga eddirira, n’efuuka obuziba, oba okusinga, yeetegeera nti ekyali buziba. Okukkiriza kwange kw’okoleezezza okwakira ebigere byange mu kiro kugigamba nti, Lwaki oweddemu amaanyi ggwe emmeeme yange? Lwaki otabusetabuse mu nda yange? Essuubi lyo liteeke mu Mukama; ekigambo kye ye ttaala eri ebigere byo: suubira era ogumiikirize, okutuusa ekiro, nnyina w’abakozi b’ebibi, okutuusa obusungu bwa Mukama, lwe biriggwaawo, obwo naffe bwe twali abaana baabwo edda, abaali ekizikiza edda, ebisigalira byakyo bye tukyetisse mu mubiri gwaffe, ogufudde olw’ekibi; okutuusa obudde nga bukedde n’ebisiikirize nga biddukidde ddala. Essuubi lyo liteeke mu Mukama; ku makya ndiyimirira mu maaso go, ne nkulowoozaako: ndikwatulira emirembe gyonna. Ku makya ndiyimirira mu maaso go, ne ndaba obulamu bw’amaaso gange, Katonda wange, alifuula n’emibiri gyaffe egifa okuba emiramu ku bw’Omwoyo abeera mu ffe, kubanga mu kusaasira kwe yatambulira waggulu w’obuziba bwaffe obw’omunda obw’ekizikiza era obuseeyeeya: okuva gy’Ali mu lugendo luno olw’obugenyi twafuna omusingo, tulyoke tubeere musana kaakano: nga bwe tulokolebwa lwa ssuubi, era nga tuli baana ba musana, era baana ba budde bwa misana, so si baana ba kiro, newakubadde ab’ekizikiza, kye twali edda. Wakati waabwe naffe, mu butakakasa buno obw’okumanya kw’abantu, Ggwe wekka ayawula; Ggwe akebera emitima gyaffe, era ayita obutangaavu emisana, n’ekizikiza ekiro. Kubanga ani atwawula, okuggyako Ggwe? Era tulina ki kye tutaaweebwa Ggwe? mu bbumba lye limu mwe mubumbibwa ebibya eby’ekitiibwa, ate n’ebirala mwe bibumbibwa ebitali bya kitiibwa.

Essuula XV

Oba ani, okuggyako Ggwe, Katonda waffe, eyatukolera ebbanga eryo ery’obuyinza waggulu waffe mu Byawandiikibwa byo Ebitukuvu? nga bwe kyogerwa nti, Kubanga eggulu liryezingako ng’omuzingo; era kaakano libambiddwa waggulu waffe ng’eddiba. Kubanga Ebyawandiikibwa byo Ebitukuvu birina obuyinza obusingako obukulu, kubanga abantu abo abafa, b’oyitiramu okubituweereza, baafa. Era omanyi, Mukama, omanyi, nga bwe wayambaza abantu amaliba, bwe baafuuka abafa olw’ekibi. Kyewava obamba ng’eddiba ebbanga ly’ekitabo kyo, kwe kugamba, ebigambo byo ebikwatagana, by’otubambako waggulu ku bw’obuweereza bw’abantu abafa. Kubanga olw’okufa kwabwe kwennyini, ebbanga eryo eggumu ery’obuyinza, mu bigambo byo bye baatuusa, lyabambibwa mu ngeri esingako obukulu waggulu w’abo bonna abali wansi waalyo; ekitaali bwe kityo nga bakyali balamu wano. Wali tonnaba kubamba ggulu ng’eddiba; wali tonnaba kugaziya mu njuyi zonna ekitiibwa ky’okufa kwabwe.

Ka tutunuulire, Ayi Mukama, eggulu lyo, omulimu gw’engalo zo; ggyawo mu maaso gaffe ekire ekyo, ky’obambye wansi waalyo. Eyo waliwo obujulirwa bwo, obuwa abato amagezi: tuukiriza, Ayi Katonda wange, ettendo lyo okuva mu kamwa k’abaana abato n’abawere abayonka. Kubanga tetumanyi bitabo birala, ebizikiriza bwe bityo amalala, ebizikiriza bwe bityo omulabe n’omwewolereza, oyo awakanya okutabagana kwo ng’awolereza ebibi bye. Simanyi, Mukama, simanyi bigambo birala birongoofu bwe bityo, ebinsikiriza bwe bityo okwatula, ne bifuula ensingo yange okugonda wansi w’ekikoligo kyo, ne binnyita okukuweereza obwereere. Ka mbitegeere, Kitaffe omulungi: kino kimpe, nze ateekeddwa wansi waabyo: kubanga ku lw’abo abateekeddwa wansi waabyo, kwe wabinywereza.

Waliwo amazzi amalala waggulu w’ebbanga lino, nzikiriza nti tegafa, era nti gaawulibwa okuva ku kuvunda okw’ensi. Ka balitendereze erinnya lyo, ka bakutendereze, abantu abali waggulu w’eggulu, bamalayika bo, abatalina bwetaavu bwa kutunula waggulu ku bbanga lino, wadde okumanya ekigambo kyo nga basoma. Kubanga bulijjo balaba amaaso go, era eyo gye basomera, awatali nnyingo za bigambo eziyita mu biseera, ekyo okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo kye kwagala; basoma, balonda, baagala. Basoma bulijjo; era kye basoma tekiggwaawo n’akatono; kubanga mu kulonda ne mu kwagala, basoma obutakyuka bwennyini obw’entegeka yo. Ekitabo kyabwe tekiggalwa n’akatono, wadde omuzingo gwabwe okuzingibwa; kubanga Ggwe wennyini gw’oli ekyo gye bali, era oli bw’oli emirembe gyonna; kubanga wabateeka waggulu w’ebbanga lino, lye wanyweza waggulu w’obunafu bw’abantu abali wansi, bo balyoke balitunuulire bayige okusaasira kwo, eryo nga lirangirira mu biseera Ggwe eyakola ebiseera. Kubanga okwagala kwo, Ayi Mukama, kutuuka ne ku ggulu; obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire. Ebire biggwaawo, naye eggulu libeerera. Ababuulizi b’ekigambo kyo bava mu bulamu buno ne bagenda mu bulala; naye Ebyawandiikibwa byo byanjuluzibwa waggulu w’abantu, okutuusa ku nkomerero y’ensi. Era eggulu n’ensi nabyo biriggwaawo, naye ebigambo byo tebiriggwaawo. Kubanga omuzingo gulizingibwa: n’omuddo kwe gwali gwanjuluziddwa guliggwaawo wamu n’obulungi bwagwo; naye ekigambo kyo kibeerera emirembe gyonna, ekirabika gye tuli kaakano wansi w’ekifaananyi ekizikiza eky’ebire, ne mu ndabirwamu ey’eggulu, so si nga bwe kiri: kubanga naffe, newaakubadde nga tuli baagalwa ba Mwana wo, tekinnalabika bwe tuliba. Alingiza mu mulimu ogulukibwa ogw’omubiri gwaffe, n’atwogereza n’obukkakkamu, n’atukoleezaamu omuliro, ne tudduka nga tugoberera akawoowo ke. Naye bw’alirabika tulifaanana nga ye, kubanga tulimulabira ddala nga bw’ali. Nga bw’ali, Ayi Mukama, bwe tulimulaba.

Kubanga mu bujjuvu bwonna, nga bw’oli, Ggwe wekka gw’omanyi; Ggwe abeerawo awatali kukyuka, era amanya awatali kukyuka, era ayagala awatali kukyuka. Era Obwennyini bwo Bumanya, era Bwagala awatali kukyuka; n’Okumanya kwo Kuliwo, era Kwagala awatali kukyuka; n’Okwagala kwo Kuliwo, era Kumanya awatali kukyuka. So tekirabika nga kituufu mu maaso go, nti ng’Omusana Ogutakyuka bwe gwemanya Gwennyini, bwe gutyo bwe gwandimanyiddwa ekyo ekyakiddwako, era ekikyuka. Noolwekyo emmeeme yange eri ng’ettaka ekkalu eritaliiko mazzi, kubanga nga bw’etasobola kwemulisa yokka ku bwayo, bw’etyo bw’etasobola kwekkusa yokka ku bwayo. Kubanga bwe kityo gw’olina ensulo ey’obulamu, nga bwe tulirabira omusana mu musana gwo.

Ani yakuŋŋaanya abajjudde obukaawu mu kibiina kimu? Kubanga bonna balina ekigendererwa kimu, essanyu ery’ekiseera era ery’ensi, lye bakolera buli kimu okulifuna, newaakubadde nga bayuuguuma eno n’eri mu bweraliikirivu obw’engeri ezitabalika. Ani, Ayi Mukama, okuggyako Ggwe, eyagamba nti, Amazzi gakuŋŋaanire mu kifo kimu, wabeewo olukalu, olukuyaayaanira? Kubanga n’ennyanja yiyo, kubanga Ggwe wagikola, n’emikono gyo gye gyabumba olukalu. So obukaawu bw’okwagala kw’abantu si bwe buyitibwa ennyanja, wabula okukuŋŋaana kw’amazzi; kubanga Ggwe oziyiza okwegomba okubi okw’emmeeme z’abantu, n’obiteerako ensalo, we bikkirizibwa okutuuka, amayengo gaabyo galyoke gamenyekere ku ganaago: era bw’otyo bw’ogifuula ennyanja, olw’enteekateeka y’obufuzi bwo ku bintu byonna.

Naye emmeeme ezikuyaayaanira, era ezirabika mu maaso go (nga zaawulibwa n’ensalo endala okuva ku kibiina ky’ennyanja), ozifukirira n’ensulo ennyuvu, ensi eryoke ebale ebibala byayo, era Ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda, bw’olagira bw’otyo, emmeeme yaffe eryoke emeremu ebikolwa eby’okusaasira mu ngeri yaabyo, nga twagala muliraanwa waffe nga tumuyamba mu bwetaavu bw’omubiri gwe, nga birina ensigo mu byo mu kifaananyi kyabyo, bwe tuwulira obunafu bwaffe, ne tusaasira ne tuyamba abali mu bwetaavu; nga tubayamba, nga ffe bwe twandyagadde okuyambibwa, singa twali mu bwetaavu bwe bumu; si mu bintu ebyangu byokka, ng’omuddo ogubala ensigo, naye era ne mu kubakuuma n’obuyambi bwaffe, n’amaanyi gaffe gonna, ng’omuti ogubala ebibala: kwe kugamba, okukola obulungi nga tununula oyo akolebwa obubi okuva mu mukono gw’ow’amaanyi, ne tumuwa obuddukiro obw’obukuumi, olw’amaanyi amangi ag’ensala ey’obwenkanya.

Essuula XVIII

Bwe kityo, Ayi Mukama, bwe kityo, nkwegayirira, ka kimere, nga bw’okola, nga bw’owa essanyu n’obusobozi, amazima ka gamere okuva mu nsi, n’obutuukirivu butunuulire ensi nga businzira mu ggulu, era wabeewo ebyaka mu bbanga. Tumenyeerenga abayala emmere yaffe, era tusembezenga abaavu abatalina maka mu nnyumba yaffe. Twambazenga abali obwereere, era tuleme okunyooma ab’omubiri gwaffe. Ebibala ebyo bwe bimala okumera okuva mu nsi, laba nga kirungi: era omusana gwaffe ogw’ekiseera guveeyo gwake; naffe, okuva mu bubazi buno obwa wansi obw’ebikolwa, nga tutuuka ku ssanyu ly’okufumiitiriza, nga tufuna Ekigambo ky’Obulamu ekya waggulu, tulabike ng’ebyaka mu nsi, nga twekwata ku bbanga ly’Ebyawandiikibwa byo. Kubanga eyo gy’otuyigiriza okwawula wakati w’ebintu ebitegeerwa n’ebirowoozo, n’ebintu ebiwulirwa n’omubiri, nga wakati w’emisana n’ekiro; oba wakati w’emmeeme, ezeemalira oba ku bintu ebitegeerwa n’ebirowoozo, oba ku bintu ebiwulirwa n’omubiri, kale kaakano si Ggwe wekka mu kyama ky’ensala yo, ng’ebbanga bwe lyali terinnakolebwa, ayawula wakati w’omusana n’ekizikiza, naye n’abaana bo ab’omwoyo, nga bateekeddwa era nga basengekeddwa mu bbanga lye limu (kaakano ng’ekisa kyo kibikkuliddwa mu nsi yonna), bayinza okwakira ensi, n’okwawula wakati w’emisana n’ekiro, n’okubeera obubonero bw’ebiseera, nti eby’edda nga bigenze, era, laba, byonna bifuuse biggya; era nti obulokozi bwaffe buli kumpi okusinga ne we twakkiririza: era nti ekiro kiyise, obudde bunaatera okukya: era nti olifundikira omwaka gwo n’omukisa, ng’otuma abakozi b’obulungi bwo mu makungula go, abalala ge baateganira nga basiga, ng’otuma n’abalala mu nnimiro endala, amakungula gaayo galiba ku nkomerero. Bw’otyo bw’owa okusaba kw’oyo asaba, n’owa omukisa emyaka gy’abatuukirivu; naye Ggwe oli y’omu, era mu myaka gyo egitakoma, otegekera emyaka gyaffe egiyitawo etterekero. Kubanga Ggwe, olw’entegeka etaggwaawo, otonnyesa ku nsi emikisa egy’omu ggulu mu biseera byagyo ebisaanidde. Kubanga omu Omwoyo amuwa ekigambo eky’amagezi, ng’ekyaka ekisinga obunene, ku lw’abo abasanyukira omusana gw’amazima agalabikira ddala, ng’okufuga emisana. Omulala, ekigambo eky’okumanya, ku bw’Omwoyo oyo omu, ng’ekyaka ekitono: omulala okukkiriza; omulala ekirabo eky’okuwonya; omulala okukola eby’amagero; omulala obunnabbi; omulala okwawulanga emyoyo; omulala ennimi ezitali zimu. Era ebyo byonna biri ng’emmunyeenye. Kubanga ebyo byonna akola Omwoyo oyo omu era y’omu, ng’agabira buli muntu ekikye nga bw’ayagala; era ng’aleetera emmunyeenye okulabika obulungi, olw’okugasa. Naye ekigambo eky’okumanya, omuli Ssakalamentu zonna, ezikyukakyuka mu biseera byazo ng’omwezi, n’ebyo ebirala ebimanyisa ebirabo, ebibalibwa mu nsengeka, ng’emmunyeenye, olw’okuba nga tebituuka ku kumasamasa kuli okw’amagezi okusanyusa emisana gye twogeddeko, bya kufuga kiro kyokka. Kubanga byetaagisa eri abo omuweereza wo ow’amagezi ennyo be yali tasobola kwogera nabo ng’ab’omwoyo, wabula ng’ab’omubiri; ye wuuyo, ayogera eby’amagezi eri abo abatuukiridde. Naye omuntu obuntu, ng’omwana omuwere mu Kristo era anywa mata, okutuusa lw’anaanywezebwa okulya mmere enkalubo, n’eriiso lye ne lisobola okutunuulira Enjuba, aleme kubeera mu kiro ekirekeddwa nga tekiriiko musana gwonna, wabula amalenga n’omusana gw’omwezi n’emmunyeenye. Bw’otyo bw’oyogera gye tuli, Ayi Katonda waffe ow’amagezi gonna, mu Kitabo kyo, ebbanga lyo; tulyoke twawule ebintu byonna, mu kufumiitiriza okwewuunyisa; newaakubadde nga kaakano kiri mu bubonero ne mu biseera, ne mu nnaku, ne mu myaka.

Naye okusooka, Munaabe, mwetukuze; muggyeewo obubi mu mmeeme zammwe, ne mu maaso gange, olukalu lulyoke lulabike. Muyige okukola obulungi, musalenga omusango gw’atalina kitaawe, muwolerezenga bannamwandu, ensi eryoke ereete omuddo omubisi okuba emmere, n’omuti ogubala ebibala; era, Mujje nno tukubaganye ebirowoozo, bw’ayogera Mukama, wabeewo ebyaka mu bbanga ly’eggulu, bireetere ensi obutangaavu. Omusajja oli omugagga yabuuza Omuyigiriza omulungi ky’alina okukola okufuna obulamu obutaggwaawo. Omuyigiriza omulungi ka amugambe (gwe yalowooza nti muntu buntu; naye Ye mulungi kubanga Ye Katonda), ka amugambe nti, bw’aba ayagala okuyingira mu bulamu, alina okugondera amateeka: aggyeewo mu ye obukaawu bw’ettima n’obubi; aleme kutta, aleme kwenda, aleme kubba, aleme kuwaayiriza; olukalu lulyoke lulabike, luleete okussa ekitiibwa mu kitaawe ne nnyina, n’okwagala muliraanwa waffe. Ebyo byonna (bw’ayogera) nabikwata dda. Kale amaggwa gano amangi gava wa, oba ng’ensi ebala? Genda, okuulemu ebisaka ebyanjaala eby’omululu; tunda by’olina, ojjule ebibala, ng’ogabira abaavu, kale oliba n’obugagga mu ggulu; era goberera Mukama bw’obanga oyagala okuba omutuukirivu, ng’oli wamu n’abo b’ayogeramu eby’amagezi, Oyo amanyi eky’okugabira emisana, n’ekiro, naawe olyoke okimanye, era nawe obeere n’ebyaka mu bbanga ly’eggulu; ekyo tekiribaawo, okuggyako ng’omutima gwo guli eyo: era n’ekyo tekiribaawo, okuggyako ng’obugagga bwo buli eyo; nga bwe wawulira okuva eri Omuyigiriza omulungi. Naye ensi eyo etaliiko bibala n’enakuwala; amaggwa ne gatuga ekigambo.

Naye mmwe, ekika ekironde, mmwe ebinafu eby’ensi, abaaleka byonna mulyoke mugoberere Mukama; mumugoberere, mukwase ab’amaanyi ensonyi; mumugoberere, mmwe ebigere ebirungi, mwakire mu bbanga, eggulu liryoke litegeeze ekitiibwa kye, nga mwawula wakati w’omusana gw’abatuukiridde, newaakubadde nga tebali nga bamalayika, n’ekizikiza ky’abato, newaakubadde nga tebanyoomebwa. Mwakire ensi; era emisana, egyakiddwa enjuba, gibuulire emisana ebigambo by’amagezi; n’ekiro, ekyakiddwa omwezi, kiragenga ekiro ekigambo eky’okumanya. Omwezi n’emmunyeenye byakira ekiro; naye ekiro tekibizikiza, kubanga bikyakira mu kigero kyakyo. Kubanga laba Katonda ng’agamba, ng’olw’engeri eyo, Wabeewo ebyaka mu bbanga ly’eggulu; amangwago ne wajja okuwuuma okuva mu ggulu, nga kuli ng’empewo ey’amaanyi ennyo ekunta, ne walabika ennimi ezeeyawuddemu ng’ez’omuliro, ne zituula ku buli omu ku bo. Era ne wabaawo ebyaka mu bbanga ly’eggulu, nga birina ekigambo ky’obulamu. Mudduke eno n’eri buli wamu, mmwe emiriro emitukuvu, mmwe emiriro emirungi; kubanga mmwe muli musana gwa nsi, so temuteekeddwa wansi w’ekibbo; Oyo gwe mwekwatako agulumiziddwa, era abagulumizizza. Mudduke eno n’eri, mumanyibwe amawanga gonna.

N’ennyanja nayo ka ebeere olubuto ezaale emirimu gyammwe; era amazzi galeete ebyewalula ebirina obulamu. Kubanga mmwe, nga mwawula eby’omuwendo ku bitalina mugaso, mufuuliddwa akamwa ka Katonda, mw’ayogerera nti, Amazzi galeete, si kiramu ensi ky’ereeta, wabula ebyewalula ebirina obulamu, n’ebinyonyi ebibuuka waggulu w’ensi. Kubanga Ssakalamentu zo, Ayi Katonda, olw’obuweereza bw’abatukuvu bo, zitambudde wakati mu mayengo g’ebikemo by’ensi, okutukuza Abamawanga mu Linnya lyo, mu Kubatiza kwo. Era wakati mu bino, ebyamagero bingi ebinene ne bikolebwa, ng’ebitonde eby’omu nnyanja ebinene ennyo: n’amaloboozi g’ababaka bo ne gabuuka waggulu w’ensi, mu bbanga eryeyanjudde ery’Ekitabo kyo; eryo nga liteekeddwa waggulu waabwe, ng’obuyinza bwabwe, wansi waalyo we baali ab’okubuukira, buli gye baagendanga. Kubanga tewali bigambo newaakubadde olulimi, eddoboozi lyabwe gye litawulirwa: kubanga eddoboozi lyabwe libunye mu nsi yonna, n’ebigambo byabwe okutuuka ku nkomerero y’ensi, kubanga Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, wabongera obungi ng’obawa omukisa.

Njogera bitali bya mazima, oba ntabula ne mbuzaabuza, ne sawula wakati w’okumanya okutangaavu okw’ebintu bino mu bbanga ly’eggulu, n’emirimu egy’ebintu ebikwatibwako mu nnyanja ey’amayengo, ne wansi w’ebbanga ly’eggulu? Kubanga ku bintu ebyo okumanya kwabyo kwe kunywevu era okulambikiddwa, awatali kweyongera kwonna olw’okuzaala, ng’ebyaka by’amagezi n’okumanya, era ne ku byo ebikolwa ebikwatibwako bingi era bya ngeri nnyingi; era ekintu ekimu nga kiva mu kirala, byeyongera obungi olw’omukisa gwo, Ayi Katonda, eyazzaamu amaanyi obukoowu bw’ebiwulizi by’abantu abafa; ekintu ekimu mu kutegeera kw’ebirowoozo byaffe kiryoke kisobole, olw’entambula z’omubiri, okulagibwa n’okwogerwa mu ngeri nnyingi. Ssakalamentu zino amazzi ge gazireese; naye mu kigambo kyo. Obwetaavu bw’abantu abaayawukana n’obutaggwaawo bw’amazima go bwe buzireese, naye mu Njiri yo; kubanga amazzi gennyini ge gaazisuula ebweru, obukaawu bwago obulwadde bwe bwali ensonga lwaki zaasindikibwa mu Kigambo kyo.

Kaakano byonna bye wakola birungi; naye laba, Ggwe wennyini, eyakola byonna, osinga obulungi mu ngeri etayogerekeka; singa Adamu teyakuvaako n’agwa, obukaawu bw’ennyanja tebwandikulukuse kuva mu ye, kwe kugamba, ekika ky’abantu ekyetegereza ennyo ebitali byakyo, era ekizimba ng’omuyaga, era ekiyuuguuma eno n’eri awatali kuwummula; era olwo tewandibaddewo bwetaavu bwa bagabi bo okukolera mu mazzi amangi, mu ngeri ey’omubiri era ewulirwa, ebikolwa n’ebigambo eby’ekyama. Kubanga ebyo bye ndaba kaakano ebitonde ebyo ebyewalula n’ebibuuka kye bitegeeza, abantu mwe bayingirizibwa era mwe batukuzibwa olwa Ssakalamentu ez’omubiri, kyokka nga tebandyeyongedde mu maaso, okuggyako ng’emmeeme yaabwe erina obulamu obw’omwoyo, era okuggyako nti, oluvannyuma lw’ekigambo eky’okuyingizibwa, etunuulira mu maaso okutuukirira.

Essuula XXI

Era bwe kityo, mu Kigambo kyo, si buziba bw’ennyanja, wabula ensi eyawulibwa okuva ku bukaawu bw’amazzi, ye ereeta, si kyewalula ekirina obulamu, wabula emmeeme ennamu. Kubanga kaakano teyeetaaga nate kubatizibwa, ng’abatakkiriza bwe beetaaga, era nga yo bwe yali yeetaaga, bwe yali ebikkiddwa amazzi; (kubanga tewali mulyango mulala oguyingira mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, okuva Ggwe lwe walagira nti guno gwe guba omulyango:) era tenoonya byamagero ebyewuunyisa okusobola okukkiriza; kubanga si y’eyo, etayinza kukkiriza okuggyako ng’erabye obubonero n’ebyamagero, kaakano ng’ensi ekkiriza yaawulibwa okuva ku mazzi agaali amakaawu olw’obutakkiriza; era ennimi ziba akabonero, si eri abo abakkiriza naye eri abo abatali bakkiriza. N’olwekyo ensi eyo gye wabamba ku mazzi teyeetaaga kika ekyo ekibuuka, amazzi kye gaaleeta ku kigambo kyo. Tuma ekigambo kyo mu yo ng’oyita mu babaka bo: kubanga twogera ku mulimu gwabwe, naye Ggwe akola mu bo, balyoke bakole emmeeme ennamu mu yo. Ensi y’egireeta, kubanga ensi ye nsonga lwaki bakola kino mu mmeeme; ng’ennyanja bwe yali ensonga lwaki baakola ku byewalula ebirina obulamu, n’ebinyonyi ebibuuka wansi w’ebbanga ly’eggulu, ensi bye teyeetaaga; newaakubadde nga erya ku kyennyanja kiri ekyaggibwa mu buziba, ku mmeeza eyo gy’otegese mu maaso g’abo abakkiriza. Kubanga kyeyava aggibwa mu buziba, alyoke aliise olukalu; n’ekinyonyi, newaakubadde nga kyazaalibwa mu nnyanja, kyokka kyaala ku nsi. Kubanga obutakkiriza bw’abantu bwe bwali ensonga y’okubuulira okwasooka okw’Abawandiisi b’Enjiri; kyokka n’abakkiriza bakubirizibwa era baweebwa omukisa nakwo mu ngeri nnyingi, buli lunaku. Naye emmeeme ennamu etandikira mu nsi: kubanga kigasa abo bokka abali edda mu Bakkiriza, okwekomako ku kwagala ensi eno, emmeeme yaabwe eryoke ebeere ennamu gy’oli, eyali enfu bwe yali ng’ebeera mu masanyu; mu masanyu agaleeta okufa, Ayi Mukama, kubanga Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli ssanyu eriwa obulamu ery’omutima omulongoofu.

Kale kaakano abaweereza bo ka bakolere ku nsi,—si nga ku mazzi g’obutakkiriza, nga babuulira era nga boogera mu byamagero, ne mu Ssakalamentu, ne mu bigambo eby’ekyama; obutamanya, nnyina w’okwewuunya, bwe bwandizissaako omwoyo, olw’okussa ekitiibwa mu bubonero obwo obw’ekyama. Kubanga ogwo gwe mulyango oguyingira mu Kukkiriza eri abaana ba Adamu abakwerabira, nga beekweka amaaso go, ne bafuuka obuziba obw’ekizikiza. Naye—abaweereza bo ka bakole kaakano nga ku lukalu, olwaawulibwa okuva ku nkulungo z’amazzi ez’obuziba obunene: era babeere ekyokulabirako eri Abakkiriza, nga babeera mu maaso gaabwe, era nga babakubiriza okubakoppa. Kubanga bwe batyo abantu bwe bawulira, si kuwulira kwokka, wabula n’okukola. Munoonye Mukama, n’emmeeme yammwe eneebeera ennamu, ensi eryoke ereete emmeeme ennamu. Temwefaananyirizanga ba mirembe gino. Mwekomeko ku gyo: emmeeme ebeera ennamu bw’eyewala ekyo ky’efiira bw’ekyegomba. Mwekomeko ku bukambwe obutafugika obw’amalala, ku kwejalabya okw’obugayaavu okw’obulamu obw’ebinyumu, ne ku linnya ery’obulimba ery’okumanya: ensolo ez’omu nsiko ziryoke zifugibwe, ente zissibweko ekikoligo, emisota gireme kuba na bulabe. Kubanga bino bye bikolwa by’ebirowoozo byaffe mu lugero; kwe kugamba, okwegulumiza kw’amalala, essanyu ly’okwegomba, n’obutwa bw’okwetegereza ebitali bikulu, bye bikolwa by’emmeeme enfu; kubanga emmeeme tefa mu ngeri ey’okufiirwa entambula yonna; kubanga efa bw’eva ku nsulo ey’obulamu, n’olwekyo n’ewambibwa ensi eno eggwaawo, n’efaananyizibwa nayo.

Naye ekigambo kyo, Ayi Katonda, ye nsulo ey’obulamu obutaggwaawo; era tekiggwaawo: n’olwekyo okuvaayo kuno okw’emmeeme kuziyizibwa ekigambo kyo, bwe tugambibwa nti, Temwefaananyirizanga ba mirembe gino; ensi eryoke ereete mu nsulo ey’obulamu emmeeme ennamu; kwe kugamba, emmeeme eyeekomako mu Kigambo kyo, olw’Abawandiisi b’Enjiri bo, nga egoberera abagoberezi ba Kristo wo. Kubanga kino kiri mu ngeri ye; kubanga omuntu atera okukoppa mukwano gwe. Mubeere nga nze (bw’ayogera), kubanga nange ndi nga mmwe. Bwe kityo mu mmeeme eno ennamu mulibaamu ensolo ennungi, mu buwombeefu bw’ebikolwa (kubanga walagira nti, Kola emirimu gyo mu buwombeefu, bw’otyo bw’onooyagalibwa abantu bonna); n’ente ennungi, ezitayitiriza bwe zirya, wadde okubulwa ekintu bwe zitalya; n’emisota emirungi, egitali gya bulabe okukola akabi, naye egy’amagezi okwegendereza; era nga ginoonyereza mu butonde buno obw’ekiseera ekyo kyokka ekimala obutaggwaawo okulabikira ddala, nga butegeerwa olw’ebintu ebyatondebwa. Kubanga ebitonde bino bigondera amagezi, bwe biziyizibwa okutufuga mu ngeri ereeta okufa, biba biramu, era birungi.

Essuula XXII

Kubanga laba, Ayi Mukama, Katonda waffe, Omutonzi waffe, okwegomba kwaffe bwe kumala okuziyizibwa okuva ku kwagala ensi, kwe twafiira olw’okubeera obubi; ne tutandika okuba emmeeme ennamu, olw’okubeera obulungi; era ekigambo kyo kye wayogera ng’oyita mu mutume wo ne kituukirira mu ffe, Temwefaananyirizanga ba mirembe gino: ne kiddirirwa n’ekyo kye wagattako amangu ago, ng’ogamba nti, Naye mukyusibwe olw’okudda obuggya mu birowoozo byammwe; si kaakano mu ngeri yammwe, nga mugoberera muliraanwa wammwe eyabakulembera, wadde nga mubeera ng’ekyokulabirako ky’omuntu omulala asinga obulungi bwe kiri (kubanga tewagamba nti, “Omuntu ka akolebwe mu ngeri ye,” wabula, Tukole omuntu mu kifaananyi kyaffe mu ngeri yaffe), tulyoke tukakase okwagala kwo bwe kuli. Kubanga olw’ensonga eno omugabi wo oyo (eyazaala abaana olw’enjiri) yagamba, aleme kubalekera emirembe gyonna nga baana bawere, be yandibadde ateekwa okunywesa amata, n’okubalabirira ng’omulezi; mukyusibwe (bw’ayogera) olw’okudda obuggya mu birowoozo byammwe, mulyoke mukakase okwagala kwa Katonda okulungi, okusiimibwa era okutuukiridde bwe kuli. Noolwekyo toogamba nti, “Omuntu ka akolebwe,” wabula Tukole omuntu. So tewagamba nti, “mu ngeri ye”; wabula, mu kifaananyi kyaffe mu ngeri yaffe. Kubanga omuntu bw’afuulibwa omuggya mu birowoozo bye, n’alaba era n’ategeera amazima go, teyeetaaga muntu kumulungamya, alyoke agoberere ngeri ye; wabula olw’okulungamya kwo akakasa okwagala kwo okulungi, okusiimibwa, era okutuukiridde bwe kuli: weewaawo, Ggwe omuyigiriza, kaakano ng’afuuliddwa asobola, okwawula Obusatu bw’Obumu, n’Obumu bw’Obusatu. Noolwekyo ku ekyo ekyayogerwa mu bungi, Tukole omuntu, kyongerwako mu bumu, Bw’atyo Katonda n’atonda omuntu: ne ku ekyo ekyayogerwa mu bungi, Mu ngeri yaffe, kyongerwako mu bumu, Mu kifaananyi kya Katonda. Bw’atyo omuntu bw’afuulibwa omuggya mu kumanya Katonda, mu kifaananyi ky’oyo eyamutonda: era bw’afuulibwa ow’omwoyo, akebera ebintu byonna (ebintu byonna ebisaanidde okukeberwa), naye ye kennyini tewali n’omu amukebera.

Essuula XXIII

Naye okuba nti akebera ebintu byonna, kino kikwatagana n’okuba nti afuga ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga, n’ente zonna n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, n’ensi yonna, na buli ekyewalulira ku nsi kyonna. Kubanga kino akikola olw’okutegeera kw’ebirowoozo bye, mw’afunira bintu bya Mwoyo wa Katonda; so nga bwe kitaba bwe kityo, omuntu eyateekebwa mu kitiibwa teyategeera, n’agerageranyizibwa n’ensolo ezitalina magezi, n’afuuka nga zo. Noolwekyo mu Kkanisa yo, Ayi Katonda waffe, ng’ekisa kyo bwe kiri kye wagiwa (kubanga tuli mulimu gwo, abaatondebwa okukolanga ebikolwa ebirungi), si abo bokka abateekeddwa mu bwakulembeze mu mwoyo, naye n’abo abagondera mu mwoyo abo abaabateekebwako,—kubanga mu ngeri eno mwe wakolera omuntu omusajja n’omukazi, mu kisa kyo eky’omwoyo, mwe wataba, ku bikwata ku kikula ky’omubiri, musajja wadde mukazi, kubanga tewali Muyudaaya wadde Muyonaani, wadde muddu wadde wa ddembe.—Abantu ab’omwoyo (oba abo abakulembera, oba abo abagondera); basala emisango mu mwoyo; si ku kumanya kuli okw’omwoyo okwakira mu bbanga (kubanga tebasaanidde kusalira musango buyinza obwa waggulu bwe butyo), era tebayinza kusalira Kitabo kyo kyennyini musango, newaakubadde nga waliwo ekitayakira bulungi omwo; kubanga tugondeza okutegeera kwaffe gye kiri, era tukakasa nti n’ekyo ekiggaddwa mu maaso gaffe kyogeddwa mu butuufu ne mu mazima. Kubanga bw’atyo omuntu, newaakubadde nga kaakano wa mwoyo era afuuliddwa omuggya mu kumanya Katonda mu kifaananyi ky’oyo eyamutonda, asaanidde okuba omukozi w’etteeka, so si omusazi w’omusango. So tasalira musango enjawulo eri wakati w’abantu ab’omwoyo n’ab’omubiri, abamanyiddwa mu maaso go, Ayi Katonda waffe, era abatannaba kweraga gye tuli mu bikolwa, tulyoke tubategeerere ku bibala byabwe: naye Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, obamanyi ne kaakano, era wabaawula n’obayita mu kyama, ebbanga nga terinnakolebwa. So ye, newaakubadde nga wa mwoyo, tasalira musango abantu ab’ensi eno abatateredde; kubanga afaayo ki okusalira ab’ebweru omusango, nga tamanyi ani ku bo alijja oluvannyuma mu buwoomi bw’ekisa kyo; era ani alisigala mu bukaawu obutaggwaawo obw’obutatya Katonda?

Kale omuntu, gwe watonda mu kifaananyi kyo, teyaweebwa buyinza ku byaka eby’omu ggulu, wadde ku ggulu eryo ery’ekyama lyennyini, wadde ku misana n’ekiro, bye wayita nga eggulu terinnateekebwawo, wadde ku mazzi agakuŋŋaanye, ye nnyanja; wabula ye yaweebwa obuyinza ku ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga, ne ku nsolo zonna, ne ku nsi yonna, ne ku buli ekyewalula ekyewalulira ku nsi. Kubanga ye asala omusango, n’akkiriza ky’alaba nga kituufu, n’agaana ky’alaba nga kikyamu, oba mu kukuza Ssakramentu ezo abantu ng’abo mwe batandikirwa, ng’okusaasira kwo bwe kubanoonya mu mazzi amangi; oba mu ekyo Ekyennyanja kiri mwe kiweerwayo, ekyo ensi etya Katonda ky’erya nga kimaze okuggibwa mu buziba; oba mu bigambo n’obubonero bw’ebigambo, ebifugibwa obuyinza bw’Ekitabo kyo,—obubonero ng’obwo obuva mu kamwa ne buvuga, nga bubuuka ng’obuli wansi w’ebbanga, mu kutaputa, mu kunnyonnyola, mu kwogera, mu kuwakana, mu kutukuza, oba mu kukusaba Ggwe, abantu balyoke baddemu nti, Amiina. Ebigambo ebyo byonna okwatulwa n’eddoboozi kiva ku buziba bw’ensi eno, n’obuzibe bw’omubiri, obutasobola kulaba birowoozo; kale kyetaagisa okwogerera waggulu mu matu; bwe kityo, newaakubadde ebinyonyi ebibuuka byala ku nsi, naye entandikwa yaabyo eva mu mazzi. Omuntu ow’omwoyo era asala omusango ng’akkiriza ekituufu, n’agaana ky’alaba nga kikyamu, mu bikolwa ne mu bulamu bw’abeesigwa; mu birabo byabwe eri abaavu, ng’ensi ereeta ebibala; ne ku mmeeme ennamu, ennamu olw’okufuga okwegomba kwayo, mu bulongoofu, mu kusiiba, mu kufumiitiriza okutukuvu; ne ku bintu ebyo ebitegeerwa n’ebiwulizi by’omubiri. Ku ebyo byonna kaakano kyogerwa nti asala omusango, era ku byo alina n’obuyinza okulongoosa.

Essuula XXIV

Naye kino kiki, era kyama kya ngeri ki? Laba, Ayi Mukama, owa abantu omukisa, balyoke bazaale bale, bajjuze ensi; kale ekyo tokituwamu kabonero tutegeere ekintu? Lwaki era tewawa mukisa obutangaavu, bwe wayita emisana, wadde ebbanga ly’eggulu, wadde ebyaka, wadde emmunyeenye, wadde ensi, wadde ennyanja? Nnandigambye nti Ggwe, Ayi Katonda, eyatutonda mu kifaananyi kyo, nnandigambye nti kyakusanyusa okuwa omuntu yekka omukisa guno ogw’enjawulo; singa tewawa bw’otyo ebyennyanja n’ebitonde ebinene ennyo eby’omu nnyanja omukisa, bizaale byale, bijjuze amazzi g’ennyanja, n’ebinyonyi byale ku nsi. Era nnandigambye nti omukisa guno gwali gwa bitonde ebyo byokka ebizaalibwa okuva mu kika kyabyo, singa nnasanga nga guweereddwa emiti egy’ebibala, n’ebimera, n’ensolo ez’oku nsi. Naye kaakano, ebimera, wadde emiti, wadde ensolo, wadde emisota, tebigambiddwa nti, Muzaale mwale; newaakubadde nga ebyo byonna, okufaanana ng’ebyennyanja, ebinyonyi, oba abantu, byeyongera ne bikuuma ekika kyabyo nga bizaala.

Kale ŋŋambe ki, Ayi Mazima, Musana gwange? “nti kyayogerwa bwereere, nga tekirina makulu?” Si bwe kiri, Ayi Kitaffe ow’okusinza okw’amazima; kireme okubaawo, omuweereza w’ekigambo kyo okwogera bw’atyo. Era bwe sitegeera ky’otegeeza mu kigambo ekyo, abansinga, kwe kugamba, abalina okutegeera okusinga okwange, bakikozese bulungi okusinga nze, nga Ggwe, Katonda wange, bw’owadde buli muntu okutegeera. Naye n’okwatula kwange kusanyuse mu maaso go, mwe nkwatulira nti nzikiriza, Ayi Mukama, nti tewayogera bw’otyo bwereere; era sijja kukweka ekyo essomo lino kye linjijukiza. Kubanga kya mazima, era siraba kiyinza kunziyiza kutegeera bwe ntyo ebigambo eby’ebifaananyi eby’omu Bayibuli yo. Kubanga mmanyi nti ekintu kimu kiyinza okulagibwa mu ngeri nnyingi n’ebigambo eby’omubiri, ate nga kitegeerwa mu ngeri emu mu magezi; era nti ekitegeerwa mu ngeri nnyingi mu magezi kiyinza okulagibwa mu ngeri emu n’ebigambo eby’omubiri. Laba, okwagala okumu okwa Katonda n’okwa muliraanwa waffe, nga kwolesebwa mu mubiri mu Ssakramentu nnyingi ennyo, ne mu nnimi ezitabalika, ne mu buli lulimi, mu ngeri z’okwogera ezitabalika bwe zityo. Bwe bityo ebizaalibwa mu mazzi bwe bizaala ne byala. Era weetegereze, ggwe yenna asoma kino; laba, ekyo Ebyawandiikibwa kye bituwa, era eddoboozi kye lyatula mu ngeri emu yokka, nti Ku lubereberye Katonda yatonda eggulu n’ensi; kale tekitegeerwa mu ngeri nnyingi, si lwa bulimba bwa nsobi, wabula olw’amakulu ag’amazima ag’engeri ez’enjawulo? Bwe lityo ezzadde ly’abantu bwe lizaala ne lyala.

Kale bwe tulowooza ku butonde bw’ebintu byennyini, si mu ngero, wabula mu makulu gaabyo amatuufu, olwo ekigambo nti muzaale mwale kituukirira ku bintu byonna ebiva mu nsigo. Naye bwe tutwala ebigambo ng’ebyayogerwa mu bifaananyi (ekyo kye ndowooza okuba ekigendererwa ky’Ebyawandiikibwa, ebitayinza, mazima, kuwa bwereere omukisa guno ezzadde ly’ebiramu eby’omu mazzi n’ery’omuntu bokka); olwo tusanga nti “obungi” kituukira ku bitonde eby’omwoyo n’eby’omubiri, nga mu ggulu ne mu nsi; ne ku batuukirivu n’abatali batuukirivu, nga mu butangaavu ne mu kizikiza; ne ku bawandiisi abatukuvu abaatubeerera abaweereza b’Amateeka, nga mu bbanga eriteekebwawo wakati w’amazzi n’amazzi; ne ku kibiina ky’abantu abakyali mu bukaawu bw’obutakkiriza, nga mu nnyanja; ne ku bunyiikivu bw’emmeeme entukuvu, nga mu lukalu; ne ku bikolwa eby’okusaasira eby’obulamu buno obwa kaakano, nga mu bimera ebireeta ensigo ne mu miti egibala ebibala; ne ku birabo eby’omwoyo ebyolesebwa olw’okuzimba, nga mu byaka eby’omu ggulu; ne ku kwegomba okutendekeddwa okwefuga, nga mu mmeeme ennamu. Mu byonna ebyo tusangamu obungi, ebingi, n’okweyongera; naye ekyo ekinaazaala ne kyala mu ngeri nti ekintu kimu kiyinza okwogerwa mu ngeri nnyingi, n’ekyogerwa ekimu ne kitegeerwa mu ngeri nnyingi, tetukisanga, okuggyako mu bubonero obwogerwa mu mubiri, ne mu bintu ebitegeerwa mu birowoozo. Mu bubonero obwogerwa mu mubiri tutegeera ebizaalibwa amazzi, ebyetaagisa olw’obuziba bw’omubiri; mu bintu ebitegeerwa mu birowoozo, ebizaalibwa abantu, olw’obugimu bw’amagezi. Era olw’ensonga eyo tukkiriza nti Ggwe, Mukama, wagamba ebika bino nti, Muzaale mwale. Kubanga mu mukisa guno ndowooza nti watuwa obuyinza n’obusobozi, okwogera mu ngeri nnyingi kye tutegeera nga kimu, era okutegeera mu ngeri nnyingi kye tusoma nga kyayogerwa mu ngeri emu, mu ngeri enzibu okutegeera. Bwe gatyo amazzi g’ennyanja bwe gajjula, agatayuguumizibwa wabula amakulu ag’enjawulo: bw’etyo n’ensi bw’ejjula olw’okweyongera kw’abantu, obukalu bwayo obulabikira mu kuyaayaana kwayo, era amagezi ge gagifuga.

Essuula XXV

Era nandyagadde okwogera, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ekyo Ekyawandiikibwa ekiddako kye kinjijukiza; weewaawo, nja kwogera, era sijja kutya. Kubanga nja kwogera amazima, Ggwe wennyini ng’onzizaamu ekyo kye wayagala njogere okuva mu bigambo ebyo. Naye sikkiriza nti njogera amazima olw’okuluŋŋamizibwa okulala kwonna okuggyako okwo okuva gy’Oli, kubanga Ggwe oli Mazima, era buli muntu yenna mulimba. Kale oyo ayogera eby’obulimba ayogera ebiva mu bibye; noolwekyo ndyoke njogere amazima, nja kwogera ebiva mu bibyo. Laba, otuwadde okuba emmere buli kimera eky’ensigo ekiri ku nsi na buli muti ogw’ensigo mu kibala kyagwo. Era si ffe ffekka, naye n’ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga, n’ensolo ez’oku nsi, ne byonna ebyewalula; naye ebyennyanja n’ebitonde ebinene ennyo eby’omu nnyanja tobiwadde. Kaakano twagamba nti ebibala bino eby’ensi bitegeeza, era bifaananyizibwa mu ngero, ebikolwa eby’okusaasira ebitegekebwa okutuukiriza ebyetaago by’obulamu buno okuva mu nsi engimu. Ensi ng’eyo ye yali Onesifolo eyatyanga Katonda, ab’omu nnyumba ye be wakwatirwa ekisa, kubanga emirundi mingi yabeesabeesa Pawulo wo, era teyakwatirwa nsonyi lwa lujegere lwe. Bwe batyo n’abooluganda abaava e Makedoniya bwe baakola, era ebibala ng’ebyo bye baabala, bwe baamuwa bye yali abulwa. Naye nga yanakuwala nnyo olw’emiti egimu egitaamuwa bibala ebyamugwanira, bw’agamba nti, Mu kuwoza kwange okwasooka, tewaali n’omu yajja kubeera nange, bonna banjabulira. Nsaba Katonda ekyo kireme kubavunaanibwa. Kubanga ebibala bino bigwanira abo abatuweereza okuyigiriza okw’omwoyo okuva mu kutegeera kwabwe ebyama bya Katonda; era bibagwanira, ng’abantu; weewaawo era bibagwanira, ng’emmeeme ennamu, eyeewaayo okuba ekyokulabirako mu kwefuga kwonna; era bibagwanira, ng’ebitonde ebibuuka, olw’emikisa gyabwe egyala ku nsi, kubanga eddoboozi lyabwe lyabuna mu nsi zonna.

Essuula XXVI

Naye abaliisibwa ebibala bino be babisanyukira; so tebabisanyukira abo okulya kubafuukidde katonda waabwe. Kubanga ne mu abo ababigaba, ekibala si bye bagaba, wabula omutima gwe babigabisa. Kale oyo eyaweereza Katonda, so si lubuto lwe, ndaba bulungi lwaki yasanyuka; nkiraba, era nsanyuka wamu naye. Kubanga yali afunye okuva eri Abafiripi bye baamuweereza nga bayita mu Epafuladito; naye ndaba lwaki yasanyuka. Kubanga ekyo kye yasanyukira, kye yaliisibwa; kubanga, ng’ayogera amazima, agamba nti, Nasanyuka nnyo mu Mukama waffe, kubanga kaakano oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga muzzeemu okundowoozaako buggya, kye mwali mweraliikirira, naye nga kyali kibakooyesezza. Kale Abafiripi bano baali bakaze olw’obukoowu obw’ebbanga eddene, ne bawotoka ng’abatakyasobola kubala kibala kino eky’ekikolwa ekirungi; era abasanyukira bo, kubanga baddamu okuloka, so si ku lulwe, kubanga baamuwa bye yali abulwa. Kyova ayongerako nti, Soogera kino olwokubanga Ndiko kye nneetaaga, kubanga mu buli mbeera gye mbaamu nayiga okumalibwanga. Mmanyi okubeera nga sirina kantu, era mmanyi okuba nga nnina buli kimu. Mu buli ngeri ne mu bintu byonna nayiga ekyama ekiri mu kukkusibwa ne mu kuba omuyala, mu kuba n’ebingi ne mu bwetaavu. Nnyinza okukola byonna mu oyo ampa amaanyi.

Kale kiki ky’osanyukira, Ayi Pawulo omukulu? kiki ky’osanyukira? kiki ky’oliisibwa, ggwe omuntu, afuuliddwa omuggya mu kutegeera Katonda, mu kifaananyi ky’oyo eyakutonda, ggwe emmeeme ennamu ey’okwefuga okwenkanidde awo, ggwe olulimi olufaanana ebinyonyi ebibuuka, oyogera ebyama? (kubanga ebitonde ng’ebyo bye bigwanira emmere eno;) kiki ekikuliisa? essanyu. Tuwulire ebiddako: Kyokka mukola bulungi okulumirirwa awamu nange mu kubonaabona kwange. Ekyo ky’asanyukira, ekyo ky’aliisibwa; kubanga baakola bulungi, so si kubanga obuzibu bwe bwakendeezebwa, oyo agamba Ggwe nti, Wangaziya bwe nnali mu nnaku; kubanga yali amanyi okuba n’ebingi, n’okubulwa, mu Ggwe amuwa amaanyi. Kubanga (bw’agamba) Mmwe, Abafiripi, mumanyi nti bwe nava e Makedoniya nga nakatandika okubuulira Enjiri, tewali Kkanisa n’emu eyampaayo akantu olw’ebyo bye yafuna okuggyako mmwe mwekka. Kubanga ddala ddala bwe nnali mu Sessaloniika mwampeereza emirundi ebiri mu bwetaavu bwange. Kaakano asanyuka nti bakomyewo ku bikolwa bino ebirungi; era asanyuka nti baddamu okuloka, ng’ennimiro engimu bw’eddamu okuba eya kiragala.

Kale yasanyuka olw’ebyetaago bye ye, kubanga yagamba nti, Mwampeereza mu bwetaavu bwange? Ekyo ky’asanyukira? Mazima si ekyo. Naye tukimanya tutya? Kubanga ye yennyini amangu ago agamba nti, Soogera kino lwa kubanga njagala okufuna ekirabo, wabula njagala ekibala. Nayiga okuva gy’Oli, Katonda wange, okwawula wakati w’ekirabo n’ekibala. Ekirabo kye kintu kyennyini ekiweebwa oyo atuwa ebyetaagisa bino; nga ssente, emmere, eby’okunywa, engoye, aw’okusula, obuyambi: naye ekibala kwe kwagala okulungi era okutuufu okw’oyo agaba. Kubanga Omuyigiriza Omulungi teyagamba bugambi nti, Oyo asembeza nnabbi, wabula n’ayongerako nti, mu linnya lya nnabbi: so teyagamba bugambi nti, Oyo asembeza omuntu omutuukirivu, wabula n’ayongerako nti, mu linnya ly’omuntu omutuukirivu. Bwe kityo omu alifuna empeera y’emu nga nnabbi, n’omulala empeera y’omutuukirivu: so teyagamba bugambi nti, Buli aliwa omu ku baana bano abato egiraasi y’amazzi agannyogoga; wabula n’ayongerako nti, olw’erinnya ly’omuyigirizwa: n’amaliriza nti, Ddala ddala mbagamba nti talirema kuweebwa mpeera ye. Ekirabo kwe kusembeza nnabbi, okusembeza omuntu omutuukirivu, okuwa omuyigirizwa egiraasi y’amazzi agannyogoga: naye ekibala kwe kukola ekyo mu linnya lya nnabbi, mu linnya ly’omuntu omutuukirivu, mu linnya ly’omuyigirizwa. Eriya yaliisibwa ekibala nnamwandu eyali amanyi nti aliisa omusajja wa Katonda, era kyeyava amuliisa: naye nnamuŋŋoona yamuliisa ekirabo. So si muntu wa munda owa Eriya eyaliisibwa bw’atyo, wabula ow’ebweru yekka; ono yandisobodde n’okuzikirira olw’okubulwa emmere eyo.

Essuula XXVII

Kale nja kwogera ekiri eky’amazima mu maaso go, Ayi Mukama, nti abantu ab’omubiri n’abatakkiriza (abo okubakyusa n’okubatandika, Ssakramentu ez’entandikwa n’emirimu egy’amaanyi egy’ebyamagero byetaagisa, bye tulowooza okutegeezebwa erinnya ly’ebyennyanja n’ebitonde ebinene ennyo eby’omu nnyanja) bwe bawummuza omubiri gw’omuddu wo, oba bwe bamuyamba mu ngeri endala n’ekintu eky’omugaso mu bulamu buno obwa kaakano; naye nga tebamanyi lwaki kino kisaanye okukolebwa, era ku lwa nsonga ki; bo tebaliisa bano, so ne bano tebaliisibwa bo; kubanga abo tebakikola na kigendererwa kitukuvu era kituufu; so ne bano tebasanyukira birabo byabwe, kubanga ekibala kyabyo tebannakiraba. Kubanga omutima guliisibwa ekyo kye gusanyukira. Era kyebiva ebyennyanja n’ebitonde ebinene ennyo eby’omu nnyanja nga tebiriisibwa mmere ng’eyo, ensi gy’etaleeta okutuusa ng’emaze okwawulibwa n’okweyawula ku bukaawu bw’amayengo g’ennyanja.

Era Ggwe, Ayi Katonda, walaba buli kintu kye wakola, era, laba, kyali kirungi nnyo. Weewaawo naffe tukiraba bwe kityo, era laba, ebintu byonna birungi nnyo. Ku bika by’emirimu gyo ebya buli ngeri, bwe wamala okugamba nti “bibeewo,” ne bibaawo, walaba buli kimu nga kirungi. Emirundi musanvu mbaze nga kyawandiikibwa nti walaba ekyo kye wakola nga kirungi: era guno gwe gw’omunaana, nti walaba buli kintu kye wakola, era, laba, nga si kirungi kyokka, naye nga kirungi nnyo, kubanga kaakano byali wamu byonna. Kubanga kinnakimu byali birungi kyokka; naye byonna awamu, birungi, era birungi nnyo. Emibiri gyonna egy’endabika ennungi gikyoleka; kubanga omubiri ogugattiddwa n’ebitundu byonna ebirungi gusinga nnyo obulungi ebitundu ebyo byennyini nga biri byokka, ebituukiriza ekyo kyonna olw’okugattibwa kwabyo mu ntegeka ennungi; newaakubadde nga n’ebitundu kinnakimu nabyo birungi.

Essuula XXIX

Era ne nneetegereza nnyo okumanya oba nga emirundi musanvu oba munaana walaba emirimu gyo nga mirungi, bwe gyakusanyusa; naye mu kulaba kwo saasangamu biseera, mwe nnandisobodde okutegeera nti walaba emirundi egyenkanidde awo ebyo bye wakola. Ne ŋŋamba nti, “Mukama, Ebyawandiikibwa bino ebyo tebiri bya mazima, kubanga Ggwe oli wa mazima, era nga oli Mazima ggwe wabiteekawo? kale lwaki ongamba nti, ‘mu kulaba kwo temuli biseera’; so nga Ebyawandiikibwa byo bino bingamba nti ekyo kye wakola buli lunaku, walaba nga kirungi: era bwe nnabibala, ne nzuula emirundi emeka.” Ku kino onziramu, kubanga oli Katonda wange, era n’eddoboozi ery’amaanyi ogamba omuddu wo mu kutu kwe okw’omunda, ng’omenya obuggavu bw’amatu gange era ng’oyogerera waggulu nti, “Ggwe omuntu, ekyo Ebyawandiikibwa byange kye bigamba, Nze nkyogera: naye byo byogera mu biseera; so ebiseera tebirina kakwate na Kigambo kyange; kubanga Ekigambo kyange kibeerawo mu butaggwaawo obwenkanankana n’obwange. Bwe kityo ebintu bye mulaba nga muyita mu Mwoyo wange, Nze mbiraba; nga bwe kiri nti ebyo bye mwogera mu Mwoyo wange, Nze mbyogera. Kale bwe mulaba ebintu ebyo mu biseera, Nze sibiraba mu biseera; nga bwe mwogera mu biseera, Nze sibyogera mu biseera.”

Ne mpulira, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ne nnywa ettondo ly’obuwoomi okuva mu mazima go, ne ntegeera nti waliwo abantu abamu abatasiima mirimu gyo; abagamba nti emingi ku gyo wagikola ng’okakiddwa obwetaavu; ng’enkula y’eggulu, n’entegeka ennungi ey’emmunyeenye; era nti tewagikola mu ebyo ebyali ebibyo, wabula nti byali bitondeddwa walala okuva mu nsibuko endala, ggwe olyoke obikuŋŋaanye, obigatte era obiyunge, bwe wazimba bbugwe w’ensi yonna okuva mu balabe bo be wawangula; bo, nga basibiddwa mu kizimbe ekyo, baleme kuddamu kukujeemera. Ku bintu ebirala bagamba nti tewabikola, wadde okubigatta, ng’ebiramu byonna eby’omubiri n’ebitonde byonna ebitonotono ennyo, ne buli ekirina emmirandira mu ttaka; wabula nti endowooza ekulwanyisa, n’obutonde obulala obutaatondebwa Ggwe, obukontana naawe, bye byazaala ne bikola ebintu ebyo mu bitundu bino ebya wansi eby’ensi. Balalu abo aboogera bwe batyo, kubanga tebalaba mirimu gyo mu Mwoyo wo, so tebakutegeerera mu gyo.

Naye abo abalaba ebintu bino mu Mwoyo wo, Ggwe olaba mu bo. Kale bwe balaba nga ebintu bino birungi, Ggwe olaba nga birungi; era buli ekisanyusa ku lulwo, Ggwe osanyusa mu kyo, era ebyo ebitusanyusa nga biyita mu Mwoyo wo, bikusanyusa Ggwe mu ffe. Kubanga muntu ki ategeera eby’omuntu omulala okuggyako omwoyo w’omuntu oyo ali mu ffe? Noolwekyo n’ebintu bya Katonda tewali abimanyi okuggyako Omwoyo wa Katonda. Era kaakano (bw’agamba) ffe tetwafuna mwoyo wa ku nsi, wabula Omwoyo eyava eri Katonda, tulyoke tumanye ebintu Katonda bye yatuwa obuwa. Ne nnabulirwa nti, “Mazima ebintu bya Katonda tewali abimanyi okuggyako Omwoyo wa Katonda: kale naffe tumanya tutya ebintu Katonda by’atuwa?” Ne nziramu nti; “kubanga ebintu bye tumanya mu Mwoyo we, n’ebyo tewali abimanyi okuggyako Omwoyo wa Katonda. Kubanga nga bwe kyayogerwa obulungi eri abo abaali bagenda okwogera mu Mwoyo wa Katonda nti, si mmwe mugenda okwogera: bwe kityo kyogerwa bulungi eri abo abamanya nga bayita mu Mwoyo wa Katonda nti, ‘Si mmwe mumanya.’ Era nga bwe kyogerwa obulungi eri abo abalaba nga bayita mu Mwoyo wa Katonda nti, ‘Si mmwe mulaba’; bwe kityo buli kye balaba nga kirungi nga bayita mu Mwoyo wa Katonda, si bo, wabula Katonda y’alaba nga kirungi.” Kale kintu kimu omuntu okulowooza nti ekirungi kibi, ng’abo be twogeddeko waggulu bwe bakola; kirala, omuntu okulaba ekirungi nga kirungi (ng’ebitonde byo bwe bisanyusa bangi, kubanga birungi, naye nga Ggwe tobasanyusa mu byo, bwe baagala okubyesiimisa okusinga Ggwe); era kirala, omuntu bw’alaba ekintu nga kirungi, Katonda okulaba mu ye nga kirungi, kwe kugamba nti Ye ayagalibwe mu ekyo kye yakola, Ye atayinza kwagalibwa wabula olw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, Oyo gwe yatuwa. Kubanga okwagala kwa Katonda kufukiddwa mu mitima gyaffe Omwoyo Omutukuvu gwe twaweebwa: Oyo mwe tulabira nti buli ekiriwo mu ddaala lyonna, kirungi. Kubanga kiva gy’Ali Oyo, yennyini atali mu ddaala, wabula ky’Ali, Ali.

Naye bwe watandika okutuukiriza mu biseera ebyo bye wali oteeseteese, olw’okubikkula ebyakwekebwa, n’okutereeza obutali butebenkevu bwaffe; kubanga ebibi byaffe byali bitulengejjeko waggulu, era twali tusse mu buziba obw’ekizikiza; era Omwoyo wo omulungi n’atambulira waggulu waffe, okutuyamba mu kiseera ekituufu; era n’oleetera abatatya Katonda okuweebwa obutuukirivu, n’obaawula ku babi; era n’okola ebbanga ery’obuyinza bw’Ekitabo kyo wakati w’abo abaateekebwa waggulu, abaali ab’okukuwulira n’obuwombeefu, n’abo abaali wansi, abaali ab’okubagondera: era n’okuŋŋaanya ekibiina ky’abatakkiriza mu lukwe lumu, obunyiikivu bw’abeesigwa bulyoke bulabike, era bazaale ebikolwa eby’ekisa, nga bagabira n’abaavu obugagga bwabwe obw’oku nsi, balyoke bafune obw’omu ggulu.

Ayi Mukama Katonda, tuwe emirembe: (kubanga Ggwe otuwadde byonna;) emirembe egy’okuwummula, emirembe egya Ssabbiiti, egitaliiko kawungeezi.

Kale ffe tulaba ebintu bino bye wakola, kubanga biriwo: naye biriwo kubanga Ggwe obiraba. Era ffe tulaba ebweru nti biriwo, ne munda nti birungi; naye Ggwe wabiraba eyo, nga bimaze okukolebwa, gye wabirabira nga tebinnakolebwa. Era ffe mu kiseera eky’oluvannyuma twakubirizibwa okukola obulungi, emitima gyaffe bwe gyamala okufuna ekirowoozo ekiva eri Omwoyo wo; naye mu kiseera eky’edda twakubirizibwa okukola obubi, nga tukuvaako Ggwe; naye Ggwe, Katonda Omu, Omulungi, tewalekerawo kukola bulungi. Era naffe tulina ebikolwa ebirungi ebimu, olw’ekirabo kyo, naye tebiri bya mirembe na mirembe; oluvannyuma lwabyo tusuubira okuwummulira mu kutukuza kwo okunene. Naye Ggwe, ng’oli Omulungi ateetaaga kirungi kirala, owummula bulijjo, kubanga okuwummula kwo ye Ggwe wennyini. Era muntu ki ayinza okuyigiriza omuntu okutegeera kino? oba Malayika ki, Malayika? oba Malayika ki, omuntu?
