Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 32
1 Tega okutu ggwe eggulu, nange nnaayogera, wulira ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.
GIVE ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Okuyigiriza kwange ka kutonnye ng’enkuba, n’ebigambo byange bigwe ng’omusulo, bigwe ng’obufuuyirize ku muddo, ng’oluwandagirize ku bisimbe ebito.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Kubanga ndirangirira erinnya lya Mukama; mutendereze ekitiibwa kya Katonda waffe!
Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 Lwe lwazi, emirimu gye mituukirivu, n’ebikolwa bye byonna bya bwenkanya. Ye Katonda omwesigwa, ataliiko bukuusa, omwenkanya era omutereevu mu byonna.
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 Beeyisizza ng’abagwenyufu gy’ali, baswavu era tebakyali baana be, wabula omulembe omukyamu era ogw’amawaggali.
They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Bwe mutyo bwe musasula Mukama Katonda, mmwe abantu abasirusiru era abatalina magezi? Si ye kitaawo eyakutonda, n’akussaawo n’akunyweza?
Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Jjukira ebiseera eby’edda, fumiitiriza ku myaka egyayita edda. Buuza kitaawo ajja kukubuulira ne bakadde bo abakulembeze bajja kukutegeeza.
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 Ali Waggulu Ennyo bwe yagabanyiza amawanga ensi zaago abantu bonna bwe yabayawulayawulamu, yategeka ensalo z’amawanga ng’omuwendo gw’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe gwali.
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Omugabo gwa Mukama Katonda be bantu be, Yakobo bwe busika bwe bwe yagabana.
For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Yamuyisanga mu ddungu, mu nsi enkalu eya kikuŋŋunta. Yamuzibiranga, n’amulabiriranga, n’amukuumanga ng’emmunye ey’eriiso lye.
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Ng’empungu bw’enyegenya ku kisu kyayo, n’epaapaalira waggulu w’obwana bwayo, era nga bw’eyanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byayo, n’ebusitula, n’ebutumbiiza ku biwaawaatiro byayo,
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 Mukama Katonda yekka ye yamukulemberanga; so tewabangawo katonda mulala.
So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 Yamuteeka ku ntikko z’ensozi ez’ensi eyo, n’amuliisanga ku bibala by’omu nnimiro. Yamukulizanga ku mubisi gw’enjuki ogw’omu njatika z’enjazi n’amafuta agaavanga mu mayinja amagumu
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 ne bbongo eyavanga mu biraalo, n’amata okuva mu bisibo, n’amasavu ag’endiga ento n’ennume, n’embuzi ennume n’enduusi ez’e Basani, awamu n’eŋŋaano esinga obulungi, wanywanga wayini ow’ejjovu eyavanga mu mizabbibu.
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 Yesuluuni yakkuta n’agejja n’asambagala; ng’ojjudde emmere nga weezitoowerera n’oggwaamu amaanyi. Yava ku Katonda eyamukola, n’alekulira Olwazi olw’Obulokozi bwe.
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Baamukwasa obuggya olwa bakatonda abalala ne bamusunguwaza ne bakatonda abalala.
They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 Baawaayo ssaddaaka eri baddayimooni, so si eri Katonda, eri bakatonda be batamanyangako, bakatonda abaggya abaali baakatuuka bakatonda abo bajjajjammwe be bataatyanga.
They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Weerabira Olwazi eyakuzaala, weerabira Katonda eyakuzaala.
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 Mukama Katonda bwe yakiraba n’abeegobako kubanga yasunguwazibwa batabani be ne bawala be.
And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 N’agamba nti, Nzija kubakweka amaaso gange ndabe ebinaabatuukako; kubanga omulembe gwabwe mwonoonefu, abaana abatalinaamu bwesigwa.
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 Bankwasa obuggya ne bakatonda abalala, ne banyiiza n’ebifaananyi byabwe omutali nsa. Ndibakwasa obuggya olw’abo abatali ggwanga, ndibakwasa obusungu olw’eggwanga eritategeera.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 Kubanga obusungu bwange bukumye omuliro, ne gwaka okutuukira ddala wansi mu magombe, gusenkenya ensi n’ebibala byayo, ne gwokya amasozi okutandikira ku bikolo byago. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Nzija kubatuumangako emitawaana ne mbayiwangako obusaale bwange.
I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 Nnaabasindikiranga enjala namuzisa, n’obulwadde obwokya, ne kawumpuli omuzikiriza; ndibaweereza ebisolo eby’amannyo amasongovu n’ebyewalula mu nfuufu eby’obusagwa.
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 Ekitala kinaabamalangako abaana baabwe ne mu maka gaabwe eneebanga ntiisa njereere. Abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala balizikirira abaana abawere n’abasajja ab’envi bonna batyo.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 Nalowoozaako ku ky’okubasaasaanya wabulewo akyabajjukiranga ku nsi.
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Naye ne saagala abalabe baabwe kubasosonkereza, kubanga abaabalumbagana bandiremeddwa okukitegeera, ne beewaana nti, “Ffe tuwangudde, Mukama ebyo byonna si ye yabikoze.”
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28 Lye ggwanga omutali magezi, mu bo temuliimu kutegeera.
For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 Singa baali bagezi ekyo bandikitegedde, ne balowooza ku biribatuukako ku nkomerero.
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 Omusajja omu yandisobodde atya okugoba abantu olukumi, oba ababiri okudumya omutwalo ne badduka, wabula nga Lwazi waabwe y’abatunzeeyo, Mukama Katonda ng’abawaddeyo?
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 Kya mazima lwazi waabwe tali nga Lwazi waffe, abalabe baffe bakiriziganya naffe.
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 Wayini waabwe ava mu terekero lya wayini wa Sodomu, n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu za Ggomola; ezzabbibu zaabwe zabbibu za butwa, ebirimba byazo bikaawa;
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 wayini waazo bwe butwa bw’emisota obusagwa obukambwe obw’amasalambwa.
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Ekyo saakyeterekera, nga kuliko n’envumbo mu mawanika gange?
Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 Okuwoolera eggwanga kwange, nze ndisasula. Luliba lumu ebigere byabwe ne biseerera, obudde bwabwe obw’okuzikirira busembedde, n’okubonerezebwa kwabwe kubafubutukirako.
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 Mukama Katonda alisalira abantu omusango mu bwenkanya, alisaasira abaweereza be, bw’aliraba ng’amaanyi gonna gabaweddemu, omuddu n’ow’eddembe nga tewasigadde n’omu.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 N’alyoka abuuza nti, Kale nno bakatonda baabwe bali ludda wa, olwazi mwe beekweka.
And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Baani abaalyanga amasavu ku ssaddaaka zaabwe, ne banywa envinnyo ey’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa? Basituke bajje babayambe, kale babawe obubudamo babakuume!
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 Mulabe kaakano, nga nze kennyini, nze Ye! Tewali katonda mulala wabula Nze; nzita era ne nzuukiza, nfumita era ne mponya; era tewali atangira mukono gwange nga gukola.
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 Ngolola omukono gwange eri eggulu ne nangirira nti, ddala ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu emirembe gyonna
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 bwe mpagala ekitala kyange ekimasamasa, n’omukono gwange ne gukikwata nga nsala emisango, nnaawalananga abalabe bange, ne neesasuzanga eri abanaankyawanga.
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 Obusaale bwange ndibutamiiza omusaayi, n’ekitala kyange kirirya ennyama, n’omusaayi gw’abattiddwa n’abawambiddwa, n’ogw’emitwe egy’abakulembeze b’abalabe.
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Mujaguze mmwe amawanga awamu n’abantu be, kubanga aliwalanira omusaayi gw’abaweereza be, aliwalana abalabe be, era alitangirira olw’ensi ye n’abantu be.
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44 Awo Musa n’ajja awamu ne Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, n’addamu ebigambo byonna eby’oluyimba olwo ng’abantu bonna bawulira.
And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Musa bwe yamala okuddamu ebigambo ebyo byonna eri abaana ba Isirayiri,
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 n’abagamba nti, “Mukwate ku mutima gwammwe ebigambo byonna bye mbategeezezza leero n’obuwombeefu obungi, mulyoke mulagire abaana bammwe bagonderenga n’obwegendereza ebigambo byonna eby’amateeka gano.
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 Ebigambo ebyo si bya kusaagasaaga, wabula bye bigambo ebikwatira ddala ku bulamu bwammwe bwennyini. Okusinziira ku bigambo bino, mugenda kuwangaala nga muli mu nsi gye mugenda okusomokera omugga Yoludaani okugifuna.”
For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa bw’ati nti,
And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 “Yambuka olinnyerinnye ku Lusozi Nebo oluli mu nsozi za Abalimu mu nsi ya Mowaabu, osusse amaaso Yeriko olengere ensi ya Kanani gy’empa abaana ba Isirayiri okuba obutaka bwabwe obw’enkalakkalira.
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 Ku lusozi olwo lw’ojja okulinnya kw’olifiira okuŋŋaanyizibwe eri abantu bo, nga muganda wo Alooni bwe yafiira ku lusozi Koola, n’akuŋŋaanyizibwa eri abantu be.
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 Kubanga mwembi mwanziggyamu obwesige mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri ku mazzi g’e Meriba-Kadesi mu ddungu ly’e Zini, olw’okulemwa okussa ekitiibwa ekituukiridde mu butukuvu bwange mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri.
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Noolwekyo ensi ojja kugirengera bulengezi, so toligiyingiramu, ensi gye mpa abaana ba Isirayiri.”
Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
