Essuula I

Kaakano njagala okujjukira obugwagwa bwange obw’edda, n’obwonoonefu bw’omubiri obwayonoona emmeeme yange; si lwa kuba nti mbyagala, wabula ndyoke nkwagale Ggwe, Ayi Katonda wange. Kino nkikola olw’okwagala okwagala kwo; nga nzirayo mu makubo gange amabi ennyo nga nzijukira n’obukaawu bungi, Ggwe olyoke ombeere omuwoomu (Ggwe obuwoomi obutaggwaawo, Ggwe obuwoomi obw’essanyu era obwesigika); era ng’onkuŋŋaanya nate okuva mu kusaasaana kwange, mwe nnayuzibwayuzibwamu ebitundutundu, bwe nnali nga nkukubye amabega Ggwe, Omu Omulungi, ne nneebulira mu bintu ebingi ennyo. Kubanga mu buvubuka bwange edda nnayakirira okwekkusa ebintu eby’ensi wansi; ne nneetantala okuddamu okufuuka ensiko, nga nneemalira ku kwagala okw’engeri nnyingi okw’ebisiikirize: obulungi bwange ne buggwaawo, ne mpunya bubi mu maaso go; nga nneesanyusa nze kennyini, era nga njagala okusiimibwa mu maaso g’abantu.

Essuula II

Era kiki kye nnasanyukiranga, wabula okwagala n’okwagalibwa? Naye saakuuma kigero kya kwagala, okw’omwoyo eri omwoyo, ensalo y’omukwano eyakaayakana: wabula okuva mu kwegomba okw’omubiri okw’ebisooto, n’okubugujja kw’obuvubuka, ne muvaamu olufu olwabikka era ne luzikiza omutima gwange, ne siyinza kwawula kumasamasa kwa kwagala okutangaavu ku kifu ky’okwegomba okw’obukaba. Byombi byabugujjiranga mu nze nga bitabuddwatabuddwa, ne bisindika obuvubuka bwange obutaliiko kibuziyiza ne bugwa mu kiwonvu eky’okwegomba okutali kutukuvu, ne binnyika mu bunnya bw’ebikolwa eby’obuswavu. Obusungu bwo bwali bunkuŋŋaanidde ku mutwe, so nga sikimanyi. Nnali nzibye amatu olw’okukubagana kw’olujegere lw’obufa bwange, kye kibonerezo ky’amalala g’emmeeme yange, ne nkyama ne ngenda wala okuva gy’Oli, nawe n’ondeka, ne nsuukundibwa, ne nnyonooneka, ne nsaasaana, ne mbugujja nga mpitirira mu bwenzi bwange, nawe n’osirika, Ayi Ggwe essanyu lyange eryalwawo! Mu biseera ebyo wasirika, nange ne mbungeeta nga neeyongera okuva gy’Oli wala nnyo nnyo, nga nnyingira mu nnimiro ez’ennaku ezitabala ebibala ezisingawo n’okusingawo, nga ndi mu kunakuwala okw’amalala, ne mu bukoowu obutawummula.

Woowe! Singa omuntu yenna mu biseera ebyo yaluŋŋamya obutabanguko bwange, n’akozesa bulungi obulungi obuyitawo obw’ebintu bino, ensonda ezisembayo ez’obutonde bwo! Singa yassa ekkomo ku ssanyu lyabyo, amayengo g’obuvubuka bwange galyoke geesuule ku lubalama lw’obufumbo, bwe gaali gatasobola kukkakkana, ne gakuumirwa mu kigendererwa eky’okuzaala abaana, nga etteeka lyo bwe liragira, Ayi Mukama: Ggwe abumba mu ngeri eno ezzadde ly’obufa bwaffe buno, kubanga osobola n’omukono omukkakkamu okufufuggaza amaggwa agaagobwa mu lusuku lwo? Kubanga obuyinza bwo obw’ekitalo tebuli wala naffe, newaakubadde nga ffe tuli wala naawe. Oba nnandibadde mpuliriza n’obwegendereza obusingawo eddoboozi eriva mu bire: Wabula abafumbo, obufumbo bujja kubaleetera emitawaana gye nandiyagadde mwewale. Era kirungi omusajja obutakwatanga ku mukazi. Era, Omusajja atali mufumbo yeemalira ku bya Mukama, engeri gy’asanyusa Mukama; Naye omufumbo yeeraliikirira bya nsi, nga bw’anaasanyusa mukazi we.

Ebigambo bino nnandibadde mbiwuliriza n’obwegendereza obusingawo, era bwe nnandyawuddwa olw’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu, nnandirindiridde n’essanyu erisingawo okugwa mu kifuba kyo; naye nze, omunaku, ne mbimba ng’ennyanja esiikuuse, nga ngoberera okuyiika kw’amayengo gange, nga nkuleka Ggwe, ne mpitiriza ensalo zo zonna; naye saawona mbooko zo. Kubanga ani ku bafa ayinza okuziwona? Kubanga bulijjo wali nange, ng’onkangavvula n’okusaasira, era ng’ommansira ku masanyu gange gonna agatali ga mateeka obukaawu obusinga obungi: ndyoke nnoonye amasanyu agatatabuddwamu bukaawu. Naye amasanyu ago gye nnandigazudde, saasobola kukimanya, wabula mu Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, Ggwe ayigiriza ng’oyita mu nnaku, era atufumita, olyoke otuwonye; era atutta, tuleme kufa nga tuli wala naawe. Nnali ludda wa, era nnali nnyingidde wala kwenkana wa mu buwaŋŋanguse okuva mu masanyu g’ennyumba yo, mu mwaka ogwo ogw’ekkumi n’omukaaga ogw’emyaka gy’omubiri gwange, obulalu bw’okwegomba (obuntu obutalina nsonyi bwe bukkiriza mu ddembe lyonna, newaakubadde amateeka go nga tegabukkiriza) bwe bwanfuga, ne nneewaayo gye buli ddala? Mu kiseera ekyo abantu bange tebaafaayo kunnyamba kuwona kugwa kwange nga bampasiza; kye baafaako kyokka kwe kuba nti njige okwogera obulungi ennyo, mbeere omwogezi asendasenda.

Essuula III

Kubanga mu mwaka ogwo okusoma kwange kwayimirizibwamu: bwe nnamala okukomawo okuva e Madaura (ekibuga ekiriraanyeewo, gye nnali ŋŋenze okuyiga ebyennimi n’obwogezi), ensimbi ez’olugendo olulala olw’e Carthage nga zinteekerwateekerwa; era ekyo kyava nnyo mu kumalirira kwa kitange okusinga mu bugagga bwe, kubanga yali munnansi wa ddembe omwavu ow’e Thagaste. Kino nkibuulira ani? Si Ggwe, Katonda wange; wabula mu maaso go nkibuulira bantu bannange, wadde ekitundu ekitono eky’abantu ekiyinza okusanga ebiwandiiko byange bino. Era lwaki? Buli anaabisoma alowooze bunnya ki bwe tuteekwa okukukaabiramu. Kubanga kiki ekiri okumpi n’amatu go okusinga omutima ogwatula, n’obulamu obw’okukkiriza? Ani ataatendereza kitange, kubanga, ng’ayitiriza obusobozi bw’eby’obugagga bwe, yali agenda kuwa mutabani we byonna bye yali yeetaaga okugenda olugendo oluwanvu olw’okusoma? Kubanga bannansi bangi abaali n’obusobozi obusingako ennyo tebaakolera baana baabwe bwe batyo. Naye kitange oyo yennyini teyafaayo ku ngeri gye nnali nkula nga nzija gy’Oli, oba nga nnali mulongoofu; kyokka mbe nga mwogezi omulungi, newaakubadde nga nnali mukalu eri okulima kwo, Ayi Katonda, Ggwe Mukama yekka ow’amazima era omulungi ow’ennimiro yo, ye mutima gwange.

Naye bwe nnali mbeera ne bazadde bange mu mwaka ogwo ogw’ekkumi n’omukaaga, nga ndese essomero okumala akabanga (ekiseera eky’obugayaavu nga kiyingiddewo olw’obwavu bwa bazadde bange), amaggwa g’okwegomba okutali kulongoofu ne gamera ne gampitirira ku mutwe, era nga tewali mukono gugakuulamu. Kitange bwe yandaba mu bwogero, nga nkula okufuuka omusajja, era nga nzijudde obuvubuka obutawummula, n’asanyuka n’abuulira mmange, ng’alowooza dda ku bazzukulu be; ng’asanyukira okutabanguka okwo okw’ebiwulizi, ensi mw’ekwerabirira Ggwe Omutonzi waayo, n’eyagala ekitonde kyo mu kifo kyo Ggwe kennyini, olw’omwenge ogutalabika ogw’obwagazi bwayo bwennyini, ng’ekyama era ng’efukamirira ebintu ebisingira ddala okuba ebya wansi. Naye mu kifuba kya mmange wali otandise dda yeekaalu yo, n’omusingi gw’ekifo kyo ekitukuvu w’obeera, so nga kitange yali akyali muyizi eyeeteekerateekera okubatizibwa, era nga kino kyakatandika. Mmange n’atya n’okutya okutukuvu n’okukankana; era newaakubadde nga nnali sinnabatizibwa, n’antiira amakubo ago amakyamu abo mwe batambulira abakukyusiza amabega gaabwe, so si amaaso gaabwe.

Zinsanze! Era nneetantala okugamba nti wasirika, Ayi Katonda wange, bwe nnali nga ngenda wala okuva gy’Oli? Ddala wansirikira ddala mu biseera ebyo? Era bigambo bya ani, wabula ebibyo, bye wanyimbira mu matu gange ng’oyita mu mmange, omwesigwa wo? Tewali na kimu ku byo ekyakka mu mutima gwange ne nkikola. Kubanga yayagala, era nzijukira nga yandabula mu kyama n’okweraliikirira kungi, “obutayendanga; naye okusingira ddala obutayonoonanga mukazi wa musajja mulala.” Ebyo byandabikira okuba amagezi g’ekikazi, ge nnandiswadde okugondera. Naye gaali gago, so nga sikimanyi: era nnalowooza nti osirise era nti ye yali ayogera; so nga mu ye tewansirikira; era mu ye wanyoomebwa nze, mutabani we, omwana w’omuzaana wo, omuweereza wo. Naye nnali sikimanyi; ne nfubutuka n’obuzibe bw’amaaso obwenkanidde awo, ne nkwatibwa ensonyi mu bannange olw’okubeera n’obuswavu obutono okusinga obwabwe, bwe nnabawuliranga nga beenyumiriza mu bikolwa byabwe eby’obuswavu, ddala, nga bwe beeyongera okwewaana, bwe beeyongera okwonooneka: ne nsanyukira, si mu ssanyu ly’ekikolwa kyokka, naye ne mu kutenderezebwa. Kiki ekisaanira okunenyezebwa wabula ekibi? Naye ne nneefuula omubi okusinga bwe nnali, nneme kunenyezebwa; era bwe wabanga ekintu kye saayonoona ng’abo abaabiwaayo, nnagambanga nti nnakola kye saakola, nneme kulabika ng’atalina kye nsobola nga bwe nnali nsingako obutaliiko musango; oba ng’atali wa muwendo, nga bwe nnali omulongoofu okusingawo.

Laba bannange be nnatambula nabo mu nguudo za Babulooni, ne nneekulukuunya mu bitosi byayo, ng’alinga ali ku kitanda ky’eby’akaloosa n’amafuta ag’omuwendo omungi. Era ndyoke nneenyweze ddala mu makkati gaayo, omulabe atalabika n’anninnyirira, n’ansendasenda, kubanga nnali mwangu okusendebwasendebwa. Ne mmange ow’omubiri gwange (eyali adduse dda mu makkati ga Babulooni, naye ng’akyatambula mpola ku mabbali gaayo bwe yali ambuulirira okuba omulongoofu, teyafaayo nnyo ku ebyo bye yali awulidde ku nze okuva ku bba, okuziyiza mu nsalo z’okwagala okw’obufumbo (bwe kiba nga tekyali kisobola kusalibwako ddala) ekyo kye yawulira nga kya kabi mu kiseera ekyo era nga kya kabi mu biseera eby’omu maaso. Teyakifaako, kubanga yatya nti omukazi ayinza okufuuka ekizibu n’ekiziyiza eri essuubi lyange. Si essuubi ly’ensi egenda okujja, mmange lye yali assa mu Ggwe; wabula essuubi ly’okuyiga, bazadde bange bombi lye baali beegomba ennyo nfune; kitange, kubanga yali takulowoozaako n’akatono, ate nze yandowoozaako bya bwereere byokka; mmange, kubanga yalowooza nti amasomo ago aga bulijjo tegaalibadde kiziyiza, wabula gandinnyambyeko okukutuukako. Kubanga bwe ntyo bwe ndowooza, nga nzijukira, nga bwe nsobola, embeera ya bazadde bange. Mu kiseera ekyo, enkoba zansumulukirwa nnyo, okusukka ekigero kyonna eky’obukambwe obusaanidde, nzannye bwe njagala, ddala, okutuuka n’okwekkusa mu buli kye nnayagalanga. Era mu byonna mwalimu olufu, olwankisa, Ayi Katonda wange, okumasamasa kw’amazima go; era obutali butuukirivu bwange ne bubalukawo ng’obuva mu bugevvu bwennyini.

Essuula IV

Obubbi bubonerezebwa etteeka lyo, Ayi Mukama, n’etteeka eriwandiikiddwa mu mitima gy’abantu, obutali butuukirivu bwennyini lye butasobola kusangula. Kubanga mubbi ki agumiikiriza omubbi? Wadde omubbi omugagga, tagumiikiriza abba olw’obwavu. Naye nze nneegomba okubba, ne mbba, nga sikakiddwa njala, wadde obwavu, wabula olw’okwekkusa okukola obulungi, n’okwejjumbira obutali butuukirivu. Kubanga nnabba ekyo kye nnalina ekimala, era ekisingako ennyo obulungi. Era saafaayo kunyumirwa kye nnabba, wabula nnasanyukira obubbi n’ekibi kyokka. Waaliwo omuti gwa pea okumpi n’ennimiro yaffe ey’emizabbibu, nga gujjudde ebibala, ebitaasikiriza wadde olwa langi oba olw’obuwoomi. Okugukunkumula n’okubba ebibala byagwo, ffe abavubuka abamu ab’empisa embi twagenda, ekiro kimu ekikeeredde (nga tumaze okulwawo nga tuzannyira mu nguudo okutuusa mu kiseera ekyo, ng’empisa yaffe embi bwe yali), ne tutwala emigugu eminene, si kubirya, wabula okubisuulira embizzi, nga tumaze kubikomba bukombi. Era ekyo kyali kukola kye twayagala kyokka, kubanga kyali kigaaniddwa. Laba omutima gwange, Ayi Katonda, laba omutima gwange, gwe wasaasira nga guli wansi ddala mu bunnya obutaliiko ntobo. Kaakano, laba, omutima gwange ka gukubuulire kye gwali gunoonya eyo, nga mbeera omubi awatali nsonga, nga tewali kye nkemebwa nakyo kukola bubi, wabula obubi bwennyini. Bwali bugwagwa, ne mbwagala; nnayagala okuzikirira, nnayagala ensobi yange, si ekyo kye nnasobya olw’akyo, wabula ensobi yange yennyini. Ggwe emmeeme ey’obugwagwa, egwa okuva ku ggulu lyo okutuuka mu kuzikirira okw’enkomeredde; nga tenoonya kintu kyonna okuyita mu buswavu, wabula obuswavu bwennyini!

Essuula V

Kubanga waliwo okusikiriza mu mibiri emirungi, mu zaabu ne ffeeza, ne mu bintu byonna; ne mu kukwatagana kw’omubiri, okuwulira kumu kwa maanyi nnyo, era buli kiwulizi kirina ekintu kyakyo ekikisaanira. Ekitiibwa ky’ensi nakyo kirina obulungi bwakyo, n’obuyinza obw’okuwangula, n’obw’okufuga; era wano we wava n’ennyonta y’okwesasuza. Naye okufuna ebyo byonna, tetuteekwa kukuvaako, Ayi Mukama, wadde okuva ku tteeka lyo. N’obulamu bwe tulimu wano bulina okusikiriza kwabwo, olw’ekigero kyabwo, n’okukwatagana n’ebintu byonna ebirungi eby’ensi eno. N’omukwano gw’abantu gunyumira olw’ekisiba ekiwoomu, olw’obumu obukolebwa mu mmeeme nnyingi. Olw’ebyo byonna, n’ebiringa ebyo, ekibi kikolebwa, kubanga olw’okwegomba ebirungi bino eby’omutendera ogwa wansi ennyo okusukkiridde, ebirungi ebisinga era ebya waggulu birekebwa,—Ggwe, Mukama Katonda waffe, amazima go, n’etteeka lyo. Kubanga ebintu bino ebya wansi birina amasanyu gaabyo, naye si nga Katonda wange, eyakola ebintu byonna; kubanga mu ye omutuukirivu mw’asanyukira, era ye ssanyu ly’abo abalina omutima omulongoofu.

Kale, bwe tubuuza lwaki omusango gwazzibwa, tetukikkiriza, okuggyako nga kirabise nti wayinza okubaawo okwegomba okufuna ebimu ku ebyo bye twayise ebirungi ebya wansi, oba okutya okubifiirwa. Kubanga birungi era birabika bulungi; newaakubadde nga bwe bigeraageranyizibwa n’ebirungi ebyo ebya waggulu era eby’essanyu, bya wansi era tebiriimu kitiibwa. Omuntu asse munne; lwaki? Yayagala mukazi we oba ettaka lye; oba yayagala okunyaga okweyimirizaawo; oba yatya okufiirwa ebintu ebiringa ebyo olw’oyo; oba, ng’ayonoonyeddwa, yali ayaka omuliro ogw’okwesasuza. Waliwo ayinza okutta awatali nsonga, ng’asanyukira kutta kwokka? Ani yandikikkirizza? Kubanga ne ku musajja oyo ow’ekiruyi era omukambwe, gwe boogerako nti yali mubi era mukambwe awatali nsonga, era waliwo ensonga eweebwa; “Omukono oba omutima gulemenga” (bw’agamba) “okuddirira olw’obugayaavu.” Era olw’ekigendererwa ki? Ng’ayita mu kweyongera mu musango, alyoke, ng’amaze okuwamba ekibuga, afune ekitiibwa, obufuzi, obugagga, era asumululwe okuva mu kutya amateeka, n’ebizibu bye ebiva mu bwetaavu bw’awaka, n’okumanya obubi bwe. Kale, ne Catiline yennyini teyayagala bubi bwe, wabula ekintu ekirala, kye yabukolera.

Essuula VI

Kale kiki nze omunaku kye nnayagala ennyo mu ggwe, ggwe obubbi bwange, ggwe ekikolwa eky’ekizikiza, mu mwaka ogwo ogw’ekkumi n’omukaaga ogw’emyaka gyange? Tewali kyali kirungi mu ggwe, kubanga wali bubbi. Naye ddala oli kintu, nze okwogera naawe bwe ntyo? Ebibala bye twabba byali birungi, kubanga byali kitonde kyo, Ggwe asinga byonna obulungi, Omutonzi wa byonna, Ggwe Katonda omulungi; Katonda, obulungi obusinga byonna era obulungi bwange obw’amazima. Ebibala ebyo byali birungi, naye si byo emmeeme yange ennaku bye yeegomba; kubanga nnalina ebisingako obulungi bingi, era ebyo nnabinoga, ndyoke mbbe kyokka. Kubanga, bwe nnamala okubinoga, nnabisuula, embaga yange yokka mu byo nga kye kibi kyange, kye nnasanyukira okunyumirwa. Kubanga singa ekimu ku bibala ebyo kyayingira mu kamwa kange, ekyakiwoomesa kyali kibi. Era kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, mbuuza kiki mu bubbi obwo ekyansanyusa; era laba tebulina bulungi bwonna; sitegeeza bulungi ng’obwo obuli mu bwenkanya ne mu magezi; wadde ng’obwo obuli mu birowoozo ne mu kujjukira, ne mu biwulizi, ne mu bulamu bw’omubiri bw’omuntu; wadde ng’emmunyeenye bwe zirina ekitiibwa era bwe zirabika obulungi mu mbuga zaazo; oba ensi, oba ennyanja, ejjudde obulamu obutannazaalibwa, nga bizaalibwa okuddira ekyo ekivunda; nedda, wadde obulungi obwo obw’obulimba era obw’ekisiikirize obubeera mu bibi ebirimbalimba.

Kubanga bw’atyo amalala bwe gakoppa obugulumivu; so nga Ggwe wekka ggwe Katonda agulumizibwa okusinga byonna. Okwegomba ekitiibwa, kiki kye kinoonya, wabula ekitiibwa n’ettendo? So nga Ggwe wekka ggwe osaanidde okuweebwa ekitiibwa okusinga byonna, era ow’ekitiibwa emirembe n’emirembe. Obukambwe bw’abakulu bwagala okutiibwa; naye ani asaanidde okutiibwa wabula Katonda yekka, mu buyinza bwe kiki ekiyinza okunyagibwa oba okuggibwamu? Ddi, oba wa, oba gye kidda, oba ani akikola? Okwegonza kw’abakaba kwagala kubalibwe ng’okwagala: so nga tewali kintu ekiwoomu okusinga okwagala kwo; era tewali kintu ekyagalibwa mu ngeri ey’obulamu okusinga amazima go ago, agamasamasa era amalungi okusinga byonna. Okwagala okumanya buli kimu kweyisa ng’okwegomba amagezi; so nga Ggwe omanyi byonna okusinga byonna. Ddala, obutamanya n’obusirusiru byennyini byekweka wansi w’erinnya ly’obwesimbu n’obutalumya; kubanga tewali kizuulibwa nga kyesimbu okukusinga Ggwe: era kiki ekitalumya okusingawo, kubanga ebikolwa bye bennyini bye birumya omwonoonyi? Ddala, obugayaavu bwandyagadde okuwummula; naye kuwummula ki okunywevu okuggyako Mukama? Okwejalabya kwagala kuyitibwe obungi n’obugagga; naye Ggwe oli kujjula n’obungi obutaggwaawo obw’amasanyu agatavunda. Okwonoona ebintu kweyisa ng’okugaba: naye Ggwe ggwe Mugabi asinga okugaba ennyo ebirungi byonna. Omululu gwagala okubeera n’ebintu bingi; nawe olina ebintu byonna. Obuggya buwakanira okusinga: kiki ekikusinga Ggwe? Obusungu bunoonya okwesasuza: ani eyeesasuza mu bwenkanya okukusinga Ggwe? Okutya kwekanga ebintu ebitali bya bulijjo era ebijja amangu, ebiteeka mu kabi ebintu ebyagalwa, era kwegendereza okubikuuma; naye eri Ggwe kiki ekitali kya bulijjo oba ekijja amangu, oba ani ayawula ku Ggwe ky’oyagala? Oba wa, wabula gy’Oli, obukuumi obutanyeenya? Ennaku ekoggera olw’ebintu ebibuze, essanyu ly’okwegomba kwayo; kubanga teyagala kintu na kimu kuggibwako, nga bwe kitasoboka kintu kyonna kukuggibwako Ggwe.

Bw’etyo emmeeme bw’eyenda, bw’ekuvaako, ng’enoonya awatali Ggwe, ekyo ky’etasanga nga kirongoofu era nga tekiriiko bbala, okutuusa lw’ekomawo gy’Oli. Bwe batyo bonna bakukoppa mu ngeri ekyamu, abo abeeyawula wala naawe, ne beegulumiza okukuwakanya. Naye ne mu kukukoppa bwe batyo, balaga nti Ggwe Mutonzi w’obutonde bwonna; noolwekyo tewali kifo we bayinza kwekweka ddala nga bakuvaako. Kale kiki kye nnayagala mu bubbi obwo? Era mu ki mwe nnakoppa, wadde mu ngeri ey’obwonoonefu n’ekyamu, Mukama wange? Nnayagala, wadde mu kubba, okukola ekikontana n’etteeka lyo, kubanga mu maanyi saasobola, ndyoke, nga ndi musibe, nkoppe eddembe eryalemazibwa nga nkola awatali kubonerezebwa ebintu ebyangaanibwa, ekifaananyi ekiddugaze eky’Obuyinza bwo obw’ekitalo? Laba, omuddu wo, ng’adduka mukama we, n’afuna ekisiikirize. Woowe obuvundu! Woowe obulamu obw’ekivve, n’obuziba bw’okufa! Nnali nsobola okwagala ekyo ekitakkirizibwa, olw’ensonga nti tekikkirizibwa yokka?

Essuula VII

Mukama ndimusasula ntya, olw’okuba nti, ebyo bwe mbijjukira, emmeeme yange tekyabitya? Nja kukwagala, Ayi Mukama, nkwebaze, era nkwatulire erinnya lyo; kubanga onsonyiye ebikolwa byange bino ebinene bwe bityo era eby’ekivve. Kino nkitwala nti kiva mu kisa kyo n’okusaasira kwo, nti osaanuusizza ebibi byange ng’omuzira. Era ekisa kyo kye kyanziyiza okukola ebibi byonna bye saakola; kubanga kiki kye sandisobodde kukola, nze eyayagala ekibi olw’ekibi kyennyini? Ddala, byonna njatula nti nnabisonyiyibwa; ebibi bye nnakola olw’obukakanyavu bwange, n’ebyo, olw’okunkulembera kwo, bye saakola. Muntu ki, bw’apima obunafu bwe, ayinza okwetantala okugamba nti obulongoofu bwe n’obutaliiko musango bwe byava mu maanyi ge; alyoke akwagale ekitono, ng’alinga eyali teyeetaaga nnyo kusaasira kwo, kw’osonyiwa nakwo ebibi abo abakudda? Kubanga buli eyayitibwa Ggwe, n’agoberera eddoboozi lyo, n’ayewala ebyo by’asoma nga nzijukira era nga njatula ku nze, aleme kunnyooma, nze bwe nnali omulwadde, ne mponyezebwa Omusawo oyo, olw’obuyambi bwe ye kennyini kwe yava obutaba mulwadde, oba okusingawo, obutaba mulwadde nnyo: era olw’ekyo akwagale nnyo bw’atyo, wadde n’okusingawo; kubanga oyo gw’alaba nga yanzigya mu bulwadde obw’amaanyi bwe butyo obw’ekibi, oyo y’alaba nga ye yamukuuma obutagwa mu bulwadde bw’ekibi obufaanana bwe butyo.

Essuula VIII

Kiki kye nnagasibwa olwo (Nga ndi muntu munaku!) mu bintu ebyo, kaakano bye nkwatirwa ensonyi okujjukira? Okusingira ddala, mu bubbi obwo bwe nnayagala olw’obubbi bwennyini; era nabwo tebwali kintu, noolwekyo nze eyabwagala nneeyongera okuba omunaku. Kyokka sandibukoze nzekka: bwe ntyo bwe nnali mu biseera ebyo, nzijukira, nzekka sandibukoze. Kale nnayagalamu n’okubeera awamu ne banange be nnabukola nabo? Kale saayagala kintu kirala okuggyako obubbi, ddala, saayagala kirala kyonna; kubanga n’okubeera awamu ne banange nakwo tekwali kintu. Kiki ddala? Ani ayinza okunjigiriza, okuggyako Oyo atangaaza omutima gwange, n’abikkula ensonda zaagwo ez’ekizikiza? Kiki ekijjidde mu birowoozo byange okubuuza, n’okukubaganya ebirowoozo, n’okulowooza? Kubanga singa nnayagala ebibala bye nnabba, era nga njagala okubinyumirwa, nnandibikoze nzekka, singa okubba kwokka kwali kumala okuntuusa ku ssanyu lyange; era sandyetaaze kukoleeza kuyenja kw’okwegomba kwange n’okusikirizibwa banange.

Kale kino kyali kiwulizi ki? Kubanga ddala kyali kigwagwa nnyo: era zinsanze nze eyakirina. Naye kyali ki? Ani asobola okulaba ebyonoono bye? Gwali muzannyo, ogwali ng’ogusagambiza emitima gyaffe, kubanga twalimbalimba abo abaali tebalowooza na katono kye twali tukola, era abandikikyawa ennyo. Kale lwaki essanyu lyange lyali lya ngeri eyo nti saakikola nzekka? Kubanga tewali n’omu ateera kuseka yekka? Mu bulijjo tewali n’omu; naye oluusi okuseka kuwangula abantu nga bali bokka, nga tewali muntu yenna ali nabo, singa ekintu ekisesa ennyo kijja mu biwulizi byabwe oba mu birowoozo byabwe. Kyokka kino saakikola nzekka; nzekka sandikikoze. Laba Katonda wange, mu maaso go, okujjukira okulamu okw’emmeeme yange; nzekka sandikoze bubbi obwo, mwe ebyo bye nnabba bitaansanyusa, wabula okubba kwennyini; era nzekka sandyagadde kukikola, era sandikikoze. Ggwe omukwano ogutaliimu kukwagala! Ggwe asendasenda emmeeme mu ngeri etategeerekeka, ggwe omululu gw’okukola obubi olw’okusaaga n’obukaba, ggwe ennyonta y’okufiirwa kw’abalala, awatali kwegomba magoba gange wadde okwesasuza: naye bwe kyogerwa nti, “Tugende, tukikole,” tukwatibwa ensonyi okuba nga tetuli bataliiko nsonyi.
