Oguziima ogwʼabantu abʼebizwalo ebyeru
9 Ebyo owebyawoire, ni nningirira, ni mbona oguziima ogwʼabantu ogutabalika. Bazwire mu byalo byonabyona, nʼomu mawanga gonagona nʼomu bika byonabyona, nʼomu ntumu gyonagyona. Ni beemerera omu maiso agʼentebe eyʼobwakabaka, nʼomu maiso aga Ntaama oMutomuto wa Kibbumba oguyawaireyo ngʼesadaaka olwʼebibbibibbi byʼabantu. Abantu babbaire bazwaire ebizwalo ebyanviriri ebyeru, nga basangaala era bakwaite nʼamasaga agʼensansa. 10 Ni batumula nʼeigono eryaminkirira bati:
“Okulokola kuzwa giri Kibbumba waiswe
atyaime oku ntebe eyʼobwakabaka, era nʼoNtaama oMutomuto wa Kibbumba!”
11 Abamalaika bonabona babbaire beemereire, nga beeruguuliriirye entebe eyʼobwakabaka nʼabakaire badi 24 abʼekitiisya, nʼebibbumbe ebyomi ebina. Awo ni bakotama oku mazwi omu maiso gʼentebe eyʼobwakabaka, okuwa oKibbumba ekitiisya ni bamusinza, 12 nga webakoba bati:
“Amiina! Kibbumba waiswe
okuwuuja, nʼekitiisya, nʼokwebalya,
era amalabuki, nʼobwezye nʼamaani
bibyo emirembe nʼemirembe. Amiina.”
13 Awo omoiza oku bakaire nʼambuulya ati, “Aale iwe omaite abantu abo abazwaire ebizwalo ebyanviriri ebyeru waire egibazwa?”
14 Ni mmwiramu nti, “Musengwa, niiwe omaite.” Nʼankoba ati, “Abo niibo ababitire omu kugada okunene, era ni booza ebizwalo byabwe ebyʼomu mwoyo, niikwo okusuuka abeeru olwʼeisaaye eryasusukire omu kufa okwa Ntaama oMutomuto wa Kibbumba.7:14 Dan 12:1; Mat 24:21; Mak 13:19 15 Nʼolwekyo,
‘bali omu maiso gʼentebe eya Kibbumba,
era baweererya omusana nʼobwire omu Yeekaaluye.
Era oyo atyaime oku ntebe eyʼobwakabaka,
yaabbanga nabo ngʼabalabirira.
16 Tibaliirayo kulumwa nzala nʼenyonta.
Eisana tiryalibooca, naabba ekyoca ekindi kyonakyona.7:16 Isa 49:10
17 Ekyo kityo olwakubba oNtaama oMutomuto wa Kibbumba, oyo aali akati wʼentebe eyʼobwakabaka,
yabalabiriranga.
Era yalibatuuca oku miiga gyʼamaizi agʼobwomi ni banywa ni basuna obwomi obutawaawo.
Era oKibbumba yalibba atoirewo okugada kwabwe kwonakwona.’ ”7:17 Zab 23:1; Zek 34:23; Zab 23:2; Isa 49:10; 25:8
