1 Kaisi tete oleke mbuulye nti, oKibbumba yeebbingiireku nakimo abantube? Kadi tiniikyo owekiri. Zena ndi Mwisirairi, omwizukulu wa Ibbulaimu, era ndi wʼomu kika kya Bbenyamini.
2 OKibbumba abantube, abo abeyalondere eira, tiyabeebbingiireku nakimo. Timumaite eKiwandiike ekitumula okwEriya, oweyasabire oKibbumba ngʼatumula oku Baisirairi Yakobere ati,
3 “Musengwa, baitire abanaabbibo, ni basansula ebyotobyo. Nze zenkani ninze nsigairewo, era zena bannoonia okunjita.”
4 Neye iye oKibbumba yairiremu atya? Ati, “Neebisiireyo abantu kasanvu, abatakomerangaku oBbaali amazwi.”
5 Era wekiri nʼomu biseera binu. Waliwo abasigairewo, abebalonderemu olwʼekisa kya Kibbumba.
6 OKibbumba yabalonderemu lwʼekisaakye, tirwebyo ebibakolere. Singa yabalonderemu lwʼebyo ebibakolere, ekisaakye kyankubbaire tikikaali kisa.
7 Aale atyanu tukobe tutya? ABaisirairi bakayire okusuna ekyo ekibabbaire banoonia ekyʼokubba abatuukiriire. Abatono abalondemu niibo abakisunire. Neye abandi emyoyo gyabwe gyakakanyaire,
8 ngʼowebakiwandiikire bati, “OKibbumba yabawaire omwoyo ogunambulamu malabuki. Yabawaire amaiso agatabona, nʼamatwi agatawulira paka oku lunaku olwatyanu.”
9 Nʼokabaka oDawudi akoba ati:
10 Amaiso gaabwe gayofuwale
11 Kaisi tete kambuulye: ABayudaaya beesitaala kaisi bagwe bajigirike? Kadi, tiniikyo owekiri. Okutoolaku kiti, okubbenga kwabwe kwaleeteire aBatali Bayudaaya okusuna okubalokola, ibo aBayudaaya kaisi engongi gibakwate.
12 Neye abba ngʼokubbenga kwabwe kwaweserye ebyalo enkabi nyingi, olwo bonabona owebaliira eeri oKibbumba enkabi tigyalisingawo obubitiriri?
13 Atyanu nkoba niinywe abantu aBatali Bayudaaya. Ngʼowendi mutume eeri bantu aBatali Bayudaaya, nteeka omu mulimo gwange ekitiisya,
14 nga ngezyaku okukwatisya abʼeigwanga lyange engongi, kaisi ndokole abamo kwibo.
15 Owebababbingire, ekyalo kyasyanirye nʼoKibbumba. Kaisi tete owebalibairyawo, kyalibba kitya? Kyalibba ooti aamo Kibbumba abazuukizire.
16 Ekimegero kibba kitukulye, singa ekiinulo kyonakyona babba bakitukwirye. Era ekikolo kyʼomusaale owekibba ekitukulye, nʼamasaga gaaku gabba matukulye, ngʼaago niibo aBaisirairi abaizukulu ba Ibbulaimu.
17 Atyanu amasaga agamo agʼomusaale ogwo omuzaituuni omukomangano, babatemereku, kaisi iwe eyabbaire eisaga eryʼomusaale omuzaituuni ogwʼomu kigona ni bakulambirya omu kifo kyabwe, era ogabana oku nkabi gya Ibbulaimu nga niiye ekikolo.
18 Neye oleke okwewaana oti amasaga ago atyanu ogakira. Oweweewaana, oyebukirye oti tiniiwe okwatiriire nʼoyemereryawo ekikolo, neye ekikolo niikyo ekikukwatiriire ni kikwemereryawo.
19 Neye era oyezya okukoba oti, “Amasaga bagamogoireku, nze kaisi bannemberyeku.”
20 Kityo wekiri, bagamogoireku lwa butaikirirya oKurisito bwago, neye iwe ekikwemereiryewo niikwo okwikirirya oKurisito. Nʼolwekyo tiwewaana, wazira ootye era weekuume.
21 Olwʼokubba obanga oKibbumba tiyalekereku amasaga agebabyaliire ku musaale ogwo, atyo na iwe tiyalikulekawo.
22 Nʼolwekyo omanye ekisa nʼobukambwe bwa Kibbumba. Akambuwalira abo abagwire nʼakwatira iwe ekisa, kasita weekalangulira oku kisaakye. Neye owootalikyekalanguliraku, wena balikumogolaku.
23 Era nʼaBayudaaya owebalibba tibakaliire omu butaikirirya bwabwe, balibairya oku musaale, olwʼokubba oKibbumba ayezyerya nakimo okubairyaku.
24 Aale obanga iwe, omu nkulayo, eyʼokubba eisaga lya musaale omuzaituuni ogwʼomu kigona, bakutoireyo ni bakuyunga oku musaale omuzaituuni ogwʼomu musiri ogutali gwʼekikulakyo, amasaga agebabyaliire oku musaale ogwo tigalibba mangu ino okugairya oku musaale gwago?
25 Boluganda, ntaka mumanye ekyama kinu, kaisi muleke okwepankapanka. ABaisirairi abamo basigaire nga bakakanyali bʼemyoyo, paka aBatali Bayudaaya bonabona owebalimala okwira eeri oKibbumba.
26 Kaisi awo nʼaBaisirairi bonabona balibalokola, ngʼowebakiwandiikire bati:
27 Era eyo niiyo eyalibba endagaano yange nabo,
28 Omu bikwata oku Mawuliro aMasa, babba balabe ba Kibbumba, inywe kaisi olwo mutoolemu omugaso. Neye omu bikwata oku kubalondyamu, babba batake ba Kibbumba olwa bazeiza baabwe.
29 OKibbumba owaagabira abantu ooba owaayeta, tiyeejusa,
30 ni yeecuusa. Na inywe eira mwajeemeire oKibbumba, okutoolaku kiti atyanu abakwatiire ekisa olwʼobujeemu bwʼaBayudaaya.
31 Atyanu bona bajeemere, kaisi abakwatire ekisa ekiyabakwatiire inywe.
32 OKibbumba yalekere abantu bonabona omu bujeemu, kaisi akwatire bonabona ekisa. Era eBiwandiike bikoba biti:
33 “Dala, obusuni bwa Kibbumba nʼamalabukige, nʼokumanyakwe nga tibimalikayo!
34 Era bikoba biti:
35 Ooba naani eyabbaire amuwaire,
36 Byonabyona byazwire gyali, niiye eyabibbumbire, era byonabyona bibbaawo kumuweererya.
